What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

Best thing ever ever ever 
squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meet your fellow otaku and enjoy some anime at the weekly Anime Club meetings in the Community Chat.
What's the Anime Club?
The Anime Club is a weekly chat room in theOtaku's community chat where we meet to have fun laughing, crying, heckling, and spazzing together while watching a few episodes of anime. The anime will most likely be available on streaming sites since we're mainly going to stick to unlicensed shows. I hope the Anime Club will be a good opportunity for people to find new series and genres that they enjoy, and for series to gather support for if/when they're licensed.
What are you watching?
We're trying a new format where we'll watch episodes from two different shows each night. I hope people will stick around for both but, if one of the series just isn't your thing, feel free to only drop in for the other.
The first show is Library War, a 12 episode action/comedy series. So far it seems similar to Full Metal Panic! but with less mecha and more books. Click here to watch its opening.
The second show is Spice and Wolf, a 13 episode fantasy/drama series. It's somewhat slow-paced and doesn't have much action, instead focusing on the characters' interweaving relationships and ways of getting by in life. Click here to watch its opening.
When are the next episodes?
We will be watching Library War ep5-6 / Spice and Wolf ep5-7 on Saturday, December 6, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Pacific). The chat room will open a half hour early, around 9:30 PM Eastern, and the episodes will last about two hours altogether. We hope to see you there!
The password for the chat room will be: 100apples
Edit: The password had to be changed because it was too long, apparently, so make sure you use the new one above.
Olive stirring? Crack pairings? Packers won the Super Bowl?! It must be Movie Sign!
What's Movie Sign?
Every week, we nestle down in Chat and watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while spamming up the Chat box. We use episodes available on YouTube so that we can all watch simultaneously.
What's MST3K?
It's a comedy show about a man and his robots, stranded in space and forced to watch some of the worst movies ever made as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, talk back to the films and riff on them.
Next Episode
There's something fishy going on, when we watch Episode 1005 - Blood Waters of Dr. Z. A mad scientist, mocked and ridiculed by his colleagues, uses his special formula - called Zaat - to transform himself into a monstrous man-fish. He then sets about seeking revenge and trying to find a woman to transform into his mate.
Host Segment Highlights
Crow attempts an evil voice-over to freak Mike out, but gets stuck in the rafters; the boys go fishing; Brain Guy and Bobo demonstrate Crow and Tom's assertion that any scene is better when performed in the nude.
Check out a clip from the episode:
You know the date, so why not give it a go? Join us on Sunday and see what all the fuss is about! Movie starts at 8PM EST, room opens at 7:30.
