To be fair, the article says it's not so much that they are originally gang members, but that they grew up "in tough urban neighborhoods, where it is often important to know what gang controls which block." Puts them in a slightly different context, nya?
But yeah, the move went super well. Had a lot of guys helping me out so things went fast. Even drove a one-ton truck for the first time and everything - worst of it was that my computer flew out of its box in the truck and snapped my tall Ikea lamp (still works, but doesn't stand so straight anymore). It's definitely great to be wired back to the rest of the world again, in any case. Thanks!
Dude . . . did you guys just call a bunch of city-grown soldiers all "gang members"? Batou's got military cred, so he might be okay, but Ichigo, dude . . .
Also, this reminds me that I haven't watched the new South Park yet except for the Rock Band "Poker Face" scene. Which was definitely hilarious. I definitely need to get on top of this one . . .
And I do love The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Though I'm still torn whether I like that the most or if I like Frodo of the Nine Fingers more. Right now I'm leaning towards the latter . . .
"... but it is really, of course, Desbreko..."
HAHA!!!!!
And right out of the gate, Batou scares yet amuses me to death.
Yeah, I don't think our younger viewers take that advisory warning with a grain of salt. They just want to hear the funny words.
I do belive a prerequisite for evil laughter is insanity, yes.
Exactly, he doesn't remember much. That's why he remembered it. Wait, what?? What I think is that The Mask is waiting to spring with multiple references at the correct time and he has them all alphabetized. That isn't investigation, that's down right scary Otaku levels. Maybe it's OVER 9000!!!!
Gamers don't make the best soldiers. NO! Really? Granted, I would love to have someone like Johnathan "Fatal1aty" Wendel on my team. Other than that, I'll take nothing less than a kiss-ass mecha like EVA01.

For mechas, I say probably next decade.
Honestly, Ichigo? Cat fight? Life. Get one.
Ah yes, the glorious Fishsticks joke. The only reason that episode worked was to have Kanye West as the confused guy. Anyone else, and it wouldn't be funny. Which is why it worked. THEN YOU'RE A GAY FISH!

That music is DDR material XD
0_o? XD Nice save in the beginning Ichigo with the coarse language warning XD
I think there must be a school where bad guys go to learn evil laughter and the ability to play the organ. MUAHAHAHA.
XD The Mask is an inspiration to all of us listeners.
You forgot the last scenario-- a futuristic war on a fantasy world full of magic? Then comes then need for the video gamer! But you know, you can be a gamer AND a hunter, etc.
I loooooooooooooove the music from Millenium Actress <3 I think it would be cool to have an anime character's name! Or maybe there could be an anime character with my name. Then again, if I really did, my user name probably wouldn't be "wallpaperotaku."
Hm, why doesn't Japan make an Astro Boy movie? But anyway, I think I'll go see it soon.
I didn't realize how old Hello Kitty was. :D
Owch. Scary mob 0_0 *sigh*
Ohmy XDYes I've seen that ballad of Bilbo-- it's awesome.
What if you naturally have the cynically cool expression? 'Cause I think I have that. Not the maniacal laugh though; need to work on my breathing control and voice modulation.
Yes, gamers would not necessarily be good soldiers. And a house painter might not necessarily be the next Van Gogh, and a senator might not be a good choice for president - Wait, oh heck, never mind.
I'd rather we proceeded right to making Tachikomas instead of Gundams; I like Tachikomas better. Actually, can we go all-out GitS-style now and start actually doing the cyber prosthetics thing; let's do that. "We have the technology."

Hey thar podcasterz.
First off, let me just say that Ichigo is some sort of evil wizard who casts spells on unsuspecting civilians. Because now I can't stop saying 'good times'. Yes, that is Ichigo's plan. He will cast the 'Good Times' spell on innocent people and he will soon have an army to rule the- yeah okay, whatever. That is all.
Heh, yeah, bring in more evil laugh. And you know, now I REALLY want to hear Ichigo's evil laugh. Or maybe you could bring Tim and Weltall in too, and have an evil laugh contest >8D Hehe, that would be sweeeet.
o_o Hello Kitty and I share the same birthday. Niiiiiiiice.
Yeah, I watched 23 seconds of that video and had to turn it off. Then my dad and I were talking about it so I went back and watched the whole thing. It was really funny for me because Leonard Nimoy plays (well, did play... he quit a few days ago asdfasdf >_>') a huge character on my favorite show Fringe. So it was funny to see him acting like that. But the dancing... yeah, that was horrendous. Actually, the video kinda reminded me of MST3k: The Clonus Horror.
Hm, now I have that song stuck in my head. Grand.
Keep up the great work :D

@SomeGuy:
I'm pretty sure we were just quoting the article man. I personally don't think city-grown military members were all gang members.
It's good to have you back. Looks like the move went well.
Thanks,
