Evil Genius

He should end it Basilisk style with everyone dieing.

Only 2 dictionary.com references (new record)!

I have never laughed so hard at a single post before. That was awesome.

Also, it's gonna be kinda hard to follow that up with "lawl new chapter wuz awesome". It's like you've set a new writing standard for the thread.

On reflection, I should not have even considered him dieing. The tone of the entire manga so far as been the opposite, a lighthearted fighting adventure with a few other themes mixed in. I suppose that while the death might have added a bit of depth to the story, it would have also 1)Taken away a ch...

Someone brought up a random comparison for no reason at all.

[spoiler]At this point I'm 90% sure he's gonna die. Assuming he does, I think it'll be Kenichi's most challenging trial yet. He'll have to get over both the loss of a master and close friend and the sudden realization of mortality. Yea, he already knew he was constantly in danger, but having one of ...

New chapter out on mangastream! Unfortunately looks like they're taking a break next week.

[spoiler]Can't wait to see Luffy tame the kracken [/spoiler]

It's interesting and it has potential, but I wouldn't call it good yet. Looking forward to see where it goes.

Yeah, definitely some interesting points. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome chapter as always, but even more awesome that mangastream had it on Tuesday :D [spoiler]I foresee a nice little flashback featuring Roger and Shanks when he and Luffy meet again :) . Is it the Straw Hat of Destiny? So I really, really wanna know what Robin learned in two years with the rebel...

The way it happened felt like a dieing act, but you never know... This is shounen after all. I can totally see the author pulling a survival out of his ass. Maybe along the lines of he moved his vital organs out of the way or he's just so superhuman that his vitality allowed him to stay alive. I wil...

(Belated) Thanks for the release EG! You guys rock!

Leage of Legends is based off of DotA (Defense of the Ancients), which is a custom map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (an RTS). In DotA you have two teams of up to five players each. Each player chooses one of the many custom units created for the map (called Heroes), each of which have their o...

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about Franky's design. At first glance all I thought was "awesome". Looking back, though, I start seeing him as too top-heavy. I wouldn't mind his new size so much if he spread it throughout his entire body instead of just his arms and torso. I'm really won...

MAY BE!

I'm gonna take that as your version of a simple "Yes"

I'm reading the series too (up to Death Masks right now) and I gotta say it's pretty awesome.

Damn Foxy arc. Now I remember why I trailed off

I've never particularly liked that arc and the anime injects like 6 episodes of filler into it. Ugh.

Can't wait to see the war animated though!

Demon's Souls: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... mons-Souls
Psychonaughts: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... sychonauts

I don't always agree with his reviews, but they're consistently hilarious.

And in the end, isn't that all that really matters?

I have trouble reading Rolos' posts sometimes, but more because of content. I've yet to notice a grammatical error.

Rolos wrote:Oh, and I also read the entire "Dresden Files" collection. Very entertaining.

Might you be referring to the series by Jim Butcher?

So...

Anyone looking forward to any particular releases this year? I can't afford shit so I haven't been paying attention to what's coming out. It would just be all the more painful.

I'm gonna go with no. Not even close really. But having not played Demon's Souls I can't know for sure...

*sigh* Yea, I know. He's getting his powers back. Probably gonna be another arc where they go to the king guy or whatever. I'm the same really, I want to see the manga through to the end. I didn't mean I would actually stop reading....just that I might start bleeding out the ears if he uses the same...

Out of curiosity, does everyone still feel the same way about the Obama administration? Any new thoughts on what he's done well and what he hasn't done?

Never played Demon's Souls, but Psychonauts was awesome

The most important parts of the last chapter for me were the character development of Luffy and Usopp (and Sanji if you count an even greater weakness to women) and the fact that Chopper has haki (I think). Like fujinsan said, he's finally acting like a real captain. That's something that was really...

Truth be told, I'm marginally more interested now that Ichigo's lost his powers. I hope this ark is just Ichigo being badass for a human and then the series ends. If he gets his power back....then what's the point of reading on? What's different? It's been the same thing since Soul Society.
