    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Guys, I know full well that Times Square is a shit hole. A friend of mine lives in Manhattan and suggested The Counter to me, as a good place for a burger. I was blown away. It was definitely more expensive than normal, but not unbelievably so. My burger was right around $12, which is pretty...

    Summer 2014 Anime Thread

    Tell me about it. I actually cared about the characters. SOA II (the new series) gets a little strange, but it's still entertaining. It just doesn't have the same momentum of the first series.

    Wii U

    Well, Tomadachi Collection was a Japanese game (only released in Japan) and it played fine on her US 3DS. While we're over there though, we'll stop by a game store to see if a used copy will play on her system. The worst we could do is try. If that fails, we'll just buy the US version and be...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Khane, being that you're in NYC a lot, you HAVE to visit "The Counter" in Times Square. It's one of those build it yourself burger joints. I went there about a month ago and had the BEST hamburger I've ever tasted. Holy shit... I want to go back into the city again just for that burger, but...

    Japan

    So we're leaving for Japan on Monday morning. I still don't know my exact schedule, except there's going to be a few days in Kyoto, a lot of days between Niigata and Yamagata, and a few days in Tokyo. As far as Tokyo goes, it's just going to be my wife's brother and I. He lives in the...

    Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    There was another film that had ridiculously good 3D. Sanctum. It was from James Cameron as well, but it had to do with SCUBA diving. Well, cave diving. It's Horror/Thriller, but decent. Cameron made this right after Avatar and used the same 3D technology. This was a beautiful film. I...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I have Destiny Beta. Had Alpha also. Haven't played it a single time. I will definitely pass on owning it because I just don't care enough. I'm not saying it's a bad game.. it's probably great. I just haven't had a compelling reason to play it.

    Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    The only reason I end up seeing this shit in 3D is because I want to watch the films in Imax, and that's the only format available on the "big big" screen.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I had an interesting discussion with my wife about a week ago, and I've noticed things getting better as a result. We don't have the best sexual relationship. It's easy for us to go a few weeks at a time between, and she has never once initiated. We've talked about this in the past, but she's...

    Chef (2014)

    Finally got a chance to see this tonight. I thought it was a decent movie. Yes, it was a feel good film, but it was entertaining none the less. That food though... holy shit, I wanted to try everything. I remember when they were filming it and people were tweeting seeing the actual truck. I...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Cloud having unlimited Omnislash against Sephiroth was fun. Or maybe it wasn't unlimited.. maybe it was just during the final fight where Sephiroth only has 1 hit left, you automatically are given Omnislash. I don't remember exactly.

    The underwear thread.

    Today is my birthday, and before going into work this morning, my wife handed me 3 new SAXX boxes. It's strange as you get older (33 now) how little things like underwear make you happy.

    It's not even good art. That looks like a high school kid wanted to make something sexy or whatever.

    Good Anime Movies

    Last Exile was awesome, but it's an Anime (26 episdooes?) as opposed to a Movie. I don't really know what would work for you. Maybe if you wanted to do some old shit, Robotech would be up your alley. They had a few movies and a few anime series as well.

    Suits

    I enjoyed it a lot. Only thing was how his face shook (in anger?) when he said Litt at the very very end. That's the only thing I didn't really like. The rest was good.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I knew of Bonk's Adventure. This kid I knew had parents that my dad did business with. He had a Turbo Graphix 16, and we would play Bonk any time I was over their house. EDIT: I also had a Game Gear because I wanted a color hand held system because it didn't need light. I saved up my...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    My dad was 100% against buying me another video game console (specifically SNES) "They're a waste of time and will rot your brain". I happened to be walking by a Game Stop and went in to look for a standard NES game and they said they pretty much no longer sold them. We saw that they had a...

    Repossession

    I don't know what it is. I believe they're under a new name now, but not even 100% sure on that. We received an email about a week ago from one of the employees saying that overnight the business had changed, but the employees were never told about it, nor were they affected in any way.

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Chakra is another word for Chi, or your inner energy. It has nothing to do with your physical strength. It's more of a Yoga or Tai-Chi thing. It's more like potential energy in DBZ and now Naruto.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I can't comment on the FPS of NES games (nothing ever seemed slow on them), but my god were the frame rates on the 3DO horrible. I had one a little after it came out. Got it used at Game Stop, and kept it until finally getting a PlayStation 1. What sucks is that I never owned an SNES. Went...

    Well, first review is in. My wife really enjoys the Japanese import of Tomodachi Collection (that's the 1st Tomodachi Life, only released in Japan). We're headed to Japan in 11 days, so I'm going to try and find a used copy of Tomodachi Life, just to see if it plays on a US 3DS. I've heard...

    Yeah, but the powers are timed. Think of his gift eyes like getting a star in Super Mario Brothers. He's currently running quickly through Goobas, but that shit's going to run out soon.

    Watching last night's episode, the uncle said "This is madness", and I wanted Jamal to shout "THIS IS SPARTA!" That will forever be stuck in my head.

    Repossession

    That's a shock. We've been burned a couple of times over the years, but we're just tired of it. Yet we're in a business that even when people fuck us and re-open, we need the business, so we always take them back. We're like a battered wife.

    Repossession

    It's minimal. A whopping $6000 lost in total. We're just trying to reclaim the lost parts. I don't believe we want to go the route of a lawyer, as we still plan on doing business with the "new" owners. We're just trying not to get screwed in the process.

    This isn't a Wii U question. It's more a 3DS one. Do any of you or your girlfriends/wives have Tomodachi Life? It's supposed to be the "next" Animal Crossing type of craze for the 3DS. After reading a couple of reviews, I decided to buy it for my wife. Getting the Japanese import version...
