Wow.. I've never heard such a hate-filled Twilight rant before... I didn't read the books or watched the movie yet, so I really can't have a say in this... guess we'll just have to see how it does in the theaters and see if the other books will be made into movies. Can't wait to hear what Batou has to say when that happens (though I am a little scared..)

Batou: Love you cause you compared Twilight to crap in a baseball field. Football IS the best pro sport.
Hate you, because you think people that play WoW are all fatass closet nerds who don't leave their parents basement. You can insult WoW players AFTER you spend two weeks in the Canadian wilderness or the Adirondacks or the Green Mountains with canoes and a group of 14 year olds. Then I might listen. How's that for outside for you? I play a WoW hunter because I can shoot a REAL bow. OUTSIDE. So suck it.
Ichigo, keep rockin.
Sorry guys, didn't mean to sound so "me, me, me," but when you have 11 million people that play the same game, they can't all be locked in their parents basement.
Yay for the new Otaku News; it's nice. Yeah, I'm much saddened by the whole 'Twilight' thing; I'd hoped the movie would be bad so I wouldn't have to hear about it so much anymore, but I fear it wasn't to be. (Dang fangirls. I even have to hear about it from my friends in church; gads.) Yeah, if I want vampires, 'Hellsing' and 'Blood +' are my favorites; 'Vampire Hunter D' is pretty nice too. And of course the novel 'Dracula'; great book. Cheer up, Ichigo, a friend of mine plays WoW and he's also highly involved with college, church, and a social life.
Ok so I haven't read the twilight books but come on Batou why did you start on vampires? I mean there are some good vampire stuff out there like Hellsing or Vampire Hunter D, they aren't lame! If you're calling all Vampires lame you're calling Alucard lame. And Alucard is Dracula!
The king of all Vampires!
And he's definatly not lame, and I'm saying this as a batou fangirl.
Yes!
I am a self professed Batou fangirl.
And as for the Tom Crusie Nazi movie all I have to say is <i>why, god why?</i>
But then again if there was a God Tom Cruise wouldn't make movies and ignorant people wouldn't exist
I'll stop ranting now.

Yep, news is back, so we retired the BNR. It wasn't easy, but we knew the day would come eventually.
Not that I'm terribly interested in seeing it, but the thing about Valkyrie is that it's based on the true story of the officers in the German army who tried to kill Hitler to end the war sooner. Yes, Nazis have been quite overdone in films, but you shouldn't forget history.
Wow, Batou does NOT like Twilight. But then, I don't even care enough to have any kind of reaction to it.
Right... like burning down the hotel where you plan to get married is going to prevent it forever. Obviously he has never heard of rescheduling a venue.

Anyway, yeah, if any of y'all have the iTunes, they have the episode up on there. I'm listening to it right now. :D
EDIT: Okay, real comment time now.
*ahem*
So ANIME is Batou’s drug? I knew it! :o
All I ever care about in sports is football, and only when the Seahawks are actually doing well.
Hahah, the “other” one.
Oh, so that Megaman movie is going to be a fanmade one, eh? That makes it all the more interesting.
And yes, the fan love is very potent. Never doubt it, or the fangirls will destroy you.
... wut. Tom Cruise is doing a movie with Nazis in it? To that I must say: UUUUUGH.
Although there IS a good movie that technically has Nazis in it, but it’s a German film and really good. >>
From what I can gather on Twilight, it’s like those grocery store romance novels – simply there to be a fantasy. Kinda like fanfiction.
BUT, to be fair, I haven’t seen/read it yet so I’ll just be amused by Batou’s ranting for now.
It’s funny, with the whole online gamer dichotomy I have two examples living in my own household. One older brother is a hikikomori and another actually has a life and goes to school and is productive outside of the game.
I browsed through this week’s captions, and it looks pretty good. Lots of clever crap, dammit. *doesn’t stand a chance*
Kiss my ass, indeed.

For the record, I think referring to it as "the hiv" is incredibly funny while fully accepting that it's extremely insensitive to a very serious and damaging disease.

@iMori:
When you finish a post, you type in the URL of the music you want to use and then press Alt+F4.
That, or official theO worlds have some bonus perks so we can get things done.

*shudders at the mention of Twilight movie*
I remember seeing the commercial for the Tom Cruise Nazi movie. It looked quite lame.
SUCK IT DOWN.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure it out. It might be on Libsyn's side, and as such we just need to wait it out a bit . . .
(EDIT)
And yeah, seeing as last week's podcast isn't playing either, I'm guessing it's on their end.
TOTALLY not my fault.
