    Old Folks' Views on Piracy?

    I gave her the discs yesterday. She was very appreciative. I swung by the store again today on unrelated business, and while she wasn't there, her daughter was, and I explained to her daughter what I'd told her last night: that all but one of the discs is PC-compatible-only. The daughter...

    Old Folks' Views on Piracy?

    The store she works at, I didn't have a chance to visit over the weekend and is closed all day on Mondays. It's open from 4pm to 7pm on Tuesdays, so that's why I haven't posted an update yet, Rhinosaur: I have yet to deliver the gift!

    Cops (the tv show)

    Maybe the woman used an intoxicating aroma to force the man to vacate his vehicle? and thus "she drugged him out of his car" ? ;) This video here is an oldie but a goodie. "Hey! Am I talking to you!? Am I talking to you!? Then stay over there and shut yer mouth! Now if you move again, I'm, uh...

    JR installs anti-suicide lighting on platforms

    A fence is like a challenge. And when you've got that low of self-esteem, you're sometimes willing to do whatever it takes to "fuck the Man," as it were, and show society that you're not a loser. Paradoxically, you do it by doing something few would dare to do: ending your own life, which makes...

    Cops (the tv show)

    There are over 300 million American citizens. Even if you added up every single offender that has been caught on camera and shown on that show, and even if you assumed they were all one-time offenders (i.e. they never made second or third appearances on the show), I don't think you'd top out...

    Norton now considers Megaupload unsafe

    To be honest, what you described sounds less like Norton misbehaving on its own and more like you having a virus on the computer which is causing Norton to flip out, as many viruses do. Megaupload is an unsafe site in the grand scheme of things, and porn is probably the single most unsafe data...

    Curious about female

    The part about watching live videos sounds sketchy, but I have heard it said that a new mother who is still lactating can/will eject milk from her breasts if she hears the sound of the human baby's cry. No clue if this is pseudoscience or what, but what I will say is, I think this would only...

    Depression Ends Footballer's Life

    Robert Enke had it all. He was the national goalkeeper for Germany's professional soccer team. He had 45,000 adoring fans. He was married. He had what every guy wants: a means to survive comfortably, a beautiful partner to fuck, and the respect of other human beings. And yet Robert Enke threw...

    Old Folks' Views on Piracy?

    I need some help from those of you who have lived in Japan for more than 5 years of your life, preferably those of you (if any? O_o) who are over the age of 50. But the youth will do just fine, too. :) There's a nice Japanese grandma I met a few weeks back at this one mom-n-pop store. We are...

    Would you watch a full season of Kiss x Sis?

    I've only ever seen the original 今日の5-2, not the remake, but I wasn't aware that either of them was toned down from the manga. I own Minami-ke manga volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and comparing them with all three seasons of the anime has yielded fairly 1:1 results. The anime's pretty much spot on. So...

    Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver

    Here's a rather fair depiction of what it's like to face off against the original hero (and reigning Pokemon League Champion) the first time you face him. I reached him for the first time with a squad of maybe one Level 70 and the rest all levels 60s and 50s. Most of the videos on Youtube are...

    Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver

    I never posted in this thread again because interest appeared to be minimal (or zero barring myself ^^; ), but by all means, feel free to ask questions and generate discussion. They redesigned all of the original sixteen gym leaders insofar as they gave them new battle poses, but the original...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    The 2nd ending of the FMA remake's openings and endings is by far and away my favorite one so far. I'd put 'em like this: OP1 = loved the video sequence, wasn't a big fan of the song. Grew to like the song somewhat more with time. ED1 = totally okay. Not bad, but not at all great, either...

    I hate Otaku

    You could probably just as easily Wiki it, and if you didn't then it probably means you don't really care to know what I'm about to tell you ^^; , but fyi may as well since it's simple to translate: the pitcher is the guy who throws the ball towards the batter, and the catcher is the guy who...

    why do women moan during sex?

    I think it depends on the individual. Zero bedroom experience, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but ... I do not believe that most women vociferously moan as a natural reflex. I think that a few women might, but that for most women this is something they learn from somewhere outside...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    I've watched the first half of 30 but I keep stopping at the part where King Bradley mocks the Godfearing Ishbalans because of various reasons. (Phone calls, homework, eBay auctions, whatever.) And then I don't pick it back up. lol I've got 31 already, started to watch it, and then realized...

    Japanese websites block foreign IP

    It's not just porn sites and hentai sites which do it, though, so to be perfectly honest: [1] the answer to your question depends on the nature of the site, and [2] it all boils back down fundamentally to Japanese xenophobia Japan has historically been very insular even with regards to foreign...

    I hate Otaku

    FINALLY: somebody with a sense of online sarcasm humor. (I say this as though I, too, have one. I don't. But it's great to see Akiba-Online get somebody willing to chat here who can dish it as well as take it. Usually it's a one-way street with people.)

    Why most American Office ladies are fat??

    I think you overreacted, cattz. I think what wudjamahuh was saying is, in Japan and the other countries listed, the typical OL is not obese nor is the typical firefighter. Having never been to Japan myself, I can't speak for either side. I know what I've seen on TV would lead me to believe...

    Things that piss you off.

    ^ I hope you're not hatin' on the grandmas and grandpas who do that, though! :( Lots of elderly people move to a foreign country to be with their children and to see their grandchildren. They don't get out of the house very often and find comfort in talking with fellow expatriates -- both...

    I hate Otaku

    The guy who made the extinction macro is clearly not a population biologist: or if he is, then he's clearly not a very good one. I refer the interested reader to Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (which, in boys, has such early mortality that 99.9% of them do not reproduce), a genetic disease which...

    Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2

    Not long. Code Geass Episode 25 was also debuted as a movie and it was available on the internet in fantastic resolution in little under a week.

    Lotion?

    You would think so. So would I. So do I. lol But apparently we're of the minor opinion, if free market forces have anything to say about the subject. Plenty enough time has passed between when the Japanese lotion fetish first became aware to the white man and the present day, and still we don't...

    Why do JAVs not have substantial stories but eromanga do?

    You can't say "they don't have a story because they don't need one." That's not really an answer. There are plenty of things which we don't need in life which we have anyway. And you can't say it's because a story wouldn't be appropriate for porn, either, because obviously it is: just look at...

    Hentai Chat

    I am so, so fucking pumped for Nyan-Koi doujinshi this winter. I will be a happy hentai nerd if one of my favorite circles specifically gives me a doujin starring Sumiyoshi Kanako. Shinjugai, Goromentz, ... oh please please please. :3 The plot (minus the harem aspect) is already sort of cliche...

    Lotion?

    As this is one of my fetishes, albeit it much lower on my list than some others, I'd be very interested in knowing the answer to this question, too. I was also discouraged by the pricing of the bottles and the lack of available substitutes in American (USA) stores. Liquid handwashing soap ain't...

    Website Value $14.57 Million

    If every Thanks gave the thankee 25¢ and chompy an additional 25¢ (for making this all possible), a lot of people here would have earned somewhere between several hundred and several thousand dollars, and chompy would indeed be mega-rich, tallying from the when the forum first went up to the...

    Website Value $14.57 Million

    Pardon the double post, but I did a little more research, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think this site is accurately reflecting the net worth of domain names. Here's why: 1. Last I checked, the cost to register a domain name for one year was somewhere around $70. 2. We...

    Website Value $14.57 Million

    @ zazai: No way. :O Is that based purely on the concept of "high traffic means high exposure to net advertisements"? Or is there something else which factors in to legitimize the value? I don't doubt that Akiba-Online gets its fair share of traffic, but I have a hard time believing it's so much...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Well, Scar was supposed to be using Component 2 of 3 in Western alchemy -- deconstruction -- but it seems like you're right that his brother may have added in something decidedly Eastern when he came up with his master theory, given that Father couldn't strip Scar of his powers.

    new releases November + December 2009

    This is only a guess, but the cover art that doesn't look like the "Milk Junkies" art style is probably the original character design/art done by the original artist of the eroges that these animes are adapted from. Just a guess, though, without any back-up.

    Lifesize pillows

    I was playing Devil's Advocate, as is a very bad habit of most nerds online.

I was just saying, I wouldn't lump all owners of these pillows into...

    Lifesize pillows

    Part 2 of my reply focuses on hentai and non-otaku fictional character attachments. Hentai: there are plenty of women in this world, dare I say over 90% of them, who would turn tail and run away from my apartment if they saw what I have on my hard drive and in my bookcase. Seriously! Chobits...

    The unfortunate thing about Black Lilith's HCG sets, from the ones I've seen/collected, is that no one girl gets all that many sex scenes. I think his games are probably on the shorter side of the spectrum, like Inyouchuu Shoku was, and not as long nor as convoluted as, say, Infection 3 was. :)...

    America's Struggle with Sexual Expression

    It's a tough call. Any hentai anime based off of Taimanin Murasaki is bound to have three disparate fan groups: (1) those who want to see a heavy focus on the main girl of the new game, Murasaki (2) those who want to see a heavy focus on the main girls of the old game, Taimanin Asagi (3) those...

    America's Struggle with Sexual Expression

I'd rather try to draw something new and then scan it instead. (Note: you won't notice much difference, but I will! XD)...
