New Feature: Streamlined Portfolios
A new member once innocently PMed me: "Bossman...I'm only good at making wallpapers and feel weird going to my theOtaku portfolio and seeing "empty" over and over again for the other sections, like Fan Art and Quizzes. Is there any way to make it so that if I've only submitted wallpapers, then that's all that's shown?"
Good point!
That's why, starting today, on all your portfolios, we don't reference sections that you haven't submitted works to.
Please post any thoughts + bugs you notice right here.
Cheers.
Caption Battle: But Why Are There Three?
"It's that time again..."
"To buy more Nerf toys?"
"To figure out what happened to Mel Gibson's career?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last time's winners:
In third place, with a slight subversion of the usual joke: CelestialSushi!
The 80s called; they said you could keep him.
In second place, 'cause y'all know I loves my Labyrinth: TimeChaser!
Futari wa Labyrinth starring David Bowie.
And in the coveted first place, sniping out the win with an amazing caption I never saw coming... SaigasEye!
Sadly, Pissard believed this to be the audition for Futanari Wa Precure.
If you don't understand that last joke, it's for the best. Other than that, amazing couple weeks guys. Thanks.
This week's screencap comes once again courtesy of Desbrekomatic and features the series Hatsukoi Limited. On the left is Koyoi, on the right is Ayumi. You know the rest:

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VIII - Ep. 14
I guess we'll have another two-week caption battle coming up on account of my not finishing captions this week. Got some vacation/convention to get through first. Still, a couple weeks' worth of news is good, so we've got a decent show this week. Go listen.
