I love all the attention that One Piece is getting now, although it might bring in the fad fans, which would suck for all those die hard fans (like me) who been with it through the bad times and worse times.
Considering people use the word 'gay' isn't all that much of a bad thing. All it shows it that people are comfortable using the word and are starting to warm up to the idea. I remember my mom telling me a story that while in school, if you ever used the word (good or not) you got into deep trouble. So people make a big deal out of nothing to tell you the truth.
Haha, Canadian terrorist, it makes sense if you think about it. They know that the end is coming and there is nothing we can do to stop them, that why they're always so polite to us. (Most of this is a joke for you people who can't figure it out.)
As for the video games, I would die if I had that now. At first I never used to play video games that much, and when I did, my mom really didn't care all that much. Now my grandma is a different story. She gets mad if I play for more than an hour at a time. Well there was that one time she let me play longer because I was replaying FFX and it took me several tries to defeat Seymore (Round 3). She doesn't even know what a save point is. So if she ever found out about them, I am doomed.
Give it a few years, 4th of July will be in Japan before you know it. When I was there in the Fall, it really surprised me that they celebrated Halloween. lol But it was fun helping to set up a trick-or-treat party for the kids.
I have a similar horrible memory from my childhood that relates to Metroid saves. Except that it involves my brother actually going in and deleting my save data of however many hours of Metroid Prime, because he wanted "to punish me" for something. So I kicked his ass.
Is there anyone going to Otakon this weekend? Meet-ups planned, etc? A little late, I know.
Yeah, my dad was still giving my sisters and me the ol' leather belt when we were in high school if we did something really wrong; it's possibly where we learned to fight because my sisters and I, when fighting, did not hair-pull. We'd actually hit.
There's been a lot of One Piece big news bits lately; it's so unfair. Someone screw over another series so it can get all the attention!
So, Sci-Fi - Er, Syfy, is the George Michaels of the cable channels world? I mean, with them being rather gay and coming out finally and not many people being surprised. Do they even show anything worthwhile on that channel anymore anyway; most stuff nowadays seems to go to HBO or whatever.
*headdesk* I know, I should've linked to the original- now I feel like a dumbass for not doing that (thanks for pointing it out, Ichigo) but I still resent that comment. Why? I'm a girl. I may like girls, but I'm not a guy. I understand how that can happen sometimes- even I've done it, but it sucks when it happens to you.
Sorry if I haven't been listening in a while. My computer got wiped, so I lost all of my iTunes subscriptions, and I had to reinstall the drivers formy wireless card, my webcam, and all of that other good stuff. But now I'm back to listening and ranting.
I have to admit, I was laughing the entire time. Terrorists, Canadians, racism, wow, all mushed together for a hilarious podcast. (And wait, I think I remember shaking babies too! lol)
HEHEHE Iranian hippies...I'm suddenly reminded of "Die Hippie Die" from South Park...damn those college hippies! *shakes fist and brings out daddy's guns from beneath his bed*
As for the "game doctor" or whatever it is, I guess I can see it's use if you're a single parent and you have to work late when you're not around. It's like the timer on the computer. But I totally agree that it does limit the actual time with kid and parent. I actually never had to really worry about my parents shutting off the system because normally my dad was playing with me! lol (Seriously, this guy has beaten both Kingdom Hearts games, numerous war games for the PC, and is in love with the Tony Hawk games! So he knows the whole "Hold up I need to get to a safe point!" thing. But he has chucked a few controllers at the wall, but that was because he couldn't get Link to jump right on SSB lol). Aw spanking kids...I've gotten my fair share. I've gotten the belt numerous times as a child, never a wooden spoon, but I was threaten a few times with a rolling pin. Those suckers HURT. (Needless to say, I stopped whatever I was doing lol)
I really feel bad for..."SyFy"...I mean...just...no...that was...that was bad. I mean, I stopped watching it a while ago, but that was...still...my mom likes the channel and she was like "....*flips channel*".
OMG I KNOW! I've actually gotten in huge trouble for saying "that's gay!" in school. (I don't know WHY. NO ONE WAS AND I USED TO BE AT A SCHOOL WHERE HALF OF THE SCHOOL WAS GAY OR BISEXUAL AND NO ONE CARED OR THEY SAID IT.) Like I was talking about how my friend got a better test score than me, and I was "Man that's gay!" and my teacher in her 400 pounds of greatness came over and started screaming at me. She hadn't screamed at me that bad since I told this one guy who was bawling about getting his finger burned to stop acting like a girl. So now she thinks I'm racist AND sexist...against my own gender...Hm...
Anyhoo...glad to have you two working together! (I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!) Not sure if I'll be able to comment next week because we're moving out of the house this week and I'm not sure if I'll have internet. *sad face* Wish me luck in that random middle eastern country! (I'll need it!! TT^TT)
This week's show was hilarious with air conditioners leaking freon and democracy, the awesome parenting advice.
Man SciFi has been trying to make everyone hate them. They randomly take off "AniMonday" to run movies and they cover half of the screen while your watching something with ads for their other shows. That's all in addition to the stupid name change. That is so damn 4Kids.
Anyway remember child abuse in moderation is just good parenting.

lol. This is always best when the two of you podcast together! True, they do need a better word for that negative conotation of the word Gay, otherwise it can unintentionally insult the wrong person/thing.
If they are going to change the Sci Fi channel, they might as well change the entire name, rather than recycle a few letters.
I actually enjoyed the History rant last week XD I only got around to watching it last night though, so I wasn't really able to comment.
I know exactly what you mean about games shutting off before you save. Once, I was just about to defeat the elite four on my pokemon yellow when the batteries died. It was a terrible feeling! I didn't want to play again for a long time. Another time, I was playing RPG maker 3, and I thought I had saved it repetitive times. However, when I turned it back on, it had no record of saved data! As it turned out, I had to Save everything I saved, with a different save option. Anyways, I think this device is an interesting idea, but the easy way out.
Great show, and I hope we can offer better news this week for you to review!

The Glock 17 is a great gun. My dad has one and used it on 2 robbers. One for and he gets a hat trick. Great show, keep up the good work.
