  1. you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

  2. Listening to the Majora's Mask soundtrack.

  3. Is Detective Conan serious with its episode titles now-a-days? http://t.co/ef3MPOLaCF

  4. Tom Jones totally calls the girl a wiener in the beginning of "She's a Lady".

  5. New TweetDeck looks crappy. Yuck. And how do I turn off the noise it makes when a new tweet shows up?

  6. Is there a reason why my MSN account can no longer log into Skype?

  7. Thanks for joining me guys.

  8. Going to stream my Frog Suit attempts really soon... I have two chances to do this.

  9. I should probably work on phasing out certain people who don't actually care about me, huh?

  10. I want to know who created League of Legends so I can drop a huge boulder on them.

  11. Hence no, I don't feel sorry for him with this latest thing.

  12. oh hey, Michael Bublé's new album is out today finally!! I should probably go and pick it up, huh?

  13. Who decided canceling Futurama for the other piles of unfunny, unwatched shit on Comedy Central was a bad idea? http://t.co/hRlPaJIV8a

  14. The closest one to me is in October, and if we go to Comic-Con in NYC I won't be able to go. Welp.

  15. Whoops, I forgot to be productive like a normal person today.

  16. No, it's pretty much a given that everyone will have their happy ending. Gosho doesn't do sad, depressing endings. Even in Conan, any sad and depressing "ending" is later proven to be not the ending. Kogoro and Eri is the only couple where there's any doubt, since it seems like Gosho Aoyama likes to keep them bickering and never getting anywhere with their reconciliation. I can totally see them still bickering at Shinichi and Ran's wedding.
  17. Absolutely. But we have every right to find repetitive nonsense boring as hell. It was cute when it was Aoko and Kaito as well as Shinichi and Ran. Then when we had Heiji and Kazuha it was a little expected and their cuteness kinda made up for it. Then it was Eri and Kogoro. Then Agasa and Fuase. Then Shiratori and Kobayashi, and by now it's starting to border on parody. And then it becomes Chiba and Naeko, fully completing the self-parody. And let's not forget the bunches of times that Gosho has inserted characters who have been in love in each other since childhood into his cases, the minor characters meant for that case and nothing more. Let's be real here, that's a little cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. And hell, even in Yaiba, that counts as a childhood love story. And it's funny because with Haibara you'd think that the other stereotype would be prevalent (bringing up my semi-quoted main point: "a tsundere who warms their heart for the main protagonist is more stereotypical than a childhood love story") but he actually shuts that stereotype down, tenfold no less, with an overabundance of childhood love stories. I'm a fan of childhood love pairings as much as most folks but it's like, good lord, where do you draw the line? I don't read comic books to have an accurate portrayal of life either, but it sure did get boring in The Secret Invasion story-arc where it was nothing but Skrulls over at Marvel a few years back, didn't it? RE: The Black Demon: Yeah, but I feel like this is kinda the point. Sonoko and Makoto are a long distance relationship due to his tournaments overseas, hence Gosho is trying to make it so that when Makoto does do something for Sonoko, it's a little more special. The problem here is that the series is just so long that it feels like the gaps for Makoto and Sonoko are a lot longer than you'd think. And it makes it a lot less special.
  18. "I'm going to need a different metaphor to give this nine year old..."

  19. I like going star gazing.

  20. I think it's just because it gets freakin' old. Gosho is starting to border on self-parody at this point. Especially when he even has one for Chiba? Like, seriously? My long-standing theory is that Gosho Aoyama had a traumatic incident featuring a love from his childhood and this is how he expresses himself. Sadly, I'm only half-joking.
  21. eBay window shopping will be the death of me

  22. Participating in the Mario Marathon thread on Something Awful: http://t.co/0Qoi4FSISU
