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.

theOtaku.com Podcast: VV - Episode 24

SomeGuy has returned from the con, and with him comes a NEW PODCAST.

The spammage has been low for a long time, but if you've got anything you just have to say, come here and post it.

AMV Sunday: RahXephon - Amnesia in Comfort (Part 1 of 3)

After a bit of a hiatus, AMV Sunday is back!

This week's offering features one of the greatest anime of all time (and my personal second favorite series): RahXephon. Ayato Kamina is an ordinary boy living in Tokyo until the day he discovers his world is a lie: Tokyo is controlled by the Mu, invaders from another dimension. In the outside world, the fight against the Mu is led by the organization TERRA. Ayato must determine who are his friends and who are his enemies as he pilots the mysterious mecha known as RahXephon. But who is the enigmatic Reika Mishima, the girl from Ayato's painting who seems to appear before him in times of crisis?

This AMV is the first part of a trilogy that covers the entire series.
The music is "Amnesia" by Toad The Wet Sprocket.

Movie Sign #2 - Hercules Against the Moon Men

Join us - TimeChaser, Katana, and Shinmaru - for the next Movie Sign on the Otaku Chatroom.

What is Movie Sign?
Each week, we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 while having a fun, spammy chat about it. We use episodes available on You Tube.

What is MST3K?
It's a comedy show about a man and his robots being forced to watch bad movies as part of a mad scientist's experiment. The man, Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, and the robots Tom Servo and Crow, watch real B-movies and riff on them, that is make jokes and talk back to the films.

Next Episode
Get out your sword and sandals, because it's time for one of those epic (sort of) Itallian Hercules movies. In Episode 410 - Hercules Against the Moon Men, the Greek demigod must save a kingdom terrorized by aliens. Yes, you read that right, aliens; you couldn't make this crack up even if you tried. Joel and the bots have their work cut out for them this time.

So don't forget to drop in Sunday night for the fun. Doors open at 7:30 PM EST, movie starts at 8.

Due to the issue of random people wandering in, we are now making the Movie Sign chat password protected. If you want to join, the password for the next chat is: pants.

Note to self: go to Otakon next year:
