Here's a random question I suddenly wanna ask right now, Ichigo:
How popular is "Major" in Japan? You know, that long-running baseball manga in Shonen Sunday that's about to end very soon? The one that also got adapted into an ongoing anime series and a movie? How popular is it over there?
Just asking, since I'm a fan.

I never have been much of a gamer, but I do enjoy now watching some of the gameplay videos and such on Comcast On Demand. Ah, I do love the free On Demand stuff on Comcast. It's how I watch Thundercats!
With the XBox now being purple as well, aren't purple and green kinda color opposites that tend to clash a lot? Or are they going to go for the secondary colors now and sometime soon maybe release an orange one? Wait, I just figured it out - They're taking all the colors the Pokemon people skipped over! Kya!
Unless they plan on digitally controlling the oil spill, we've got better things to protect than Firewalling state secrets now. I mean, how else can we prove when congressmen are abusing their interns and pages without the internet so we can hack into their emails?
Yay, I love MST3K's 'Jack Frost'! I love fantasy and fairy tales and the riffing makes it kinda even funnier.
Somehow, the lime green and purple thing for the Kinect/X-box remind me of the Joker. Not sure how, but it just does. As for the 3DS, I could actually use one of those. And as for scanlations and the new site for scanlations, it actually doesn't sound that good. And for the new Bill, it doesn't seem right that they should have the right to "turn off" the internet. And MST3K, must remember to watch that eventually.
hey Ichigo im new here i love the podcast.n64 zelda ocarina of time and goldeneye! woah great games i have them both i should play on my n64 more often...
With regards to that scanlation site, I think my brother made a point by saying that MangaFox was much more open in advertising itself in different websites, thus making them more likely to suffer legal action.

O hay Ichigo! Have no fear, the schooling system here finally let me out! I have returned! Or something.
Yeeeah, E3. I planned on watching the G4 coverage on it, but that didn't work out. Turned it on one day, watched about five seconds of it, and then it went off. Boo. If only it had been a week or so later, when I was actually out of school...
Ah, new official rule. Don't eat or drink while listening to this podcast. I've almost choked on my cereal twice from laughing, and I'm only about halfway through the episode. Niiice.
I'm kind of surprised that OneManga hasn't been hit with the scanlations war yet. Not that I want them to be, just that I think they probably will be.
I absolutely loved Vincent and the Doctor. Great episode. I can't believe the finale is next week! Makes me sad. After that, besides Movie Sign, I'll have no regular TV shows to watch. I need some sort of epic sci-fi show to keep me entertained during the summer. Bah.
I mean, gold stars are cool and all, but they don't exactly get you anything...
Blah blah E3 blah...Sorry, not very interested. I kept up with what I wanted and fangasmed over Golden Sun: Dark Dawn getting a solid title and release date. That's all I cared about.
Way back in the day? It can't have been too far back in the day, since even I ("the fetus", long story) remember Goldeneye on the N64...Ah well, splitting hair I 'spose.
For some reason, I went "Joe Lieberman is still in government?" Sorry, brain shut off for a moment there.
Ichigo, "Vincent and the Doctor" is Exactly What It Says On the Tin - oh good, you figured out. I was a little worried there.

- Interesting choice of music. This is one of the very few podcast episodes where I'm actually familiar with the music being used.
- The deletion of MangaFox scanlations really took me by surprise. It seems the war on scanlations had just gone on another level.

-The "Move" is the name of the PS3 motion controller deal, not a dropped Natal/Kinect name.
-The official name for the Nintendo motion controller is the "Wii Remote". "Wiimote" is just a cute fan name.
-The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced Germany is packing a Walther, not a Luger (eg. visible external hammer).

Wow that whole "Great Firewall" thing is scary. With something like that the government could pick and chose what is on the internet.

Well, "Everyone likes to play with their Wii." is DEFINATELY one of my favorite quotes.
I also can't wait to get a 3DS...My 5-year-old DS is starting to show it's signs of age...
Another awesome show, Ichigo!
