    Old Japanese Maps On Google Earth Unveil Secrets

    On the one hand: The existence of the burakumin has not been kept secret. I learned about it in my Japanese history course, both from the instructor as well as from the textbook we used ... as well as from primary literature we read, now that I come to think of it. What I mean is ... you can't...

    Real Tentacles

    The seeder for these videos is the world's slowest seeder. I've gotten about 70 megabytes out of the total 6.58 gigabytes he needs to upload. lol Suffice to say, I'm going to target for the smallest video (#3), get it, watch it, and if it's shit not only delete it but kill the torrent on my end...

    [HELP] Bitmap-to-anything smaller Converter

    Hey. This has been a problem for me for a while now, but the straw that just broke the camel's back was this HCG set that was 300 MB before I unzipped it but became 29 gigabytes upon unzipping. Even though the images are small in resolution, at 800 x 600 pixels, they are bitmaps and average at...

    Wow, what is with July!? :O Dream Note also looks like it could be amazing. Man. Ma~an. What a nice appetizer before August's Comiket. :)

    Real Tentacles

    Lol, man, that looks so bad. XD And I don't mean "bad" as in the slang word for "good." I mean bad as in the goddamn meaning of the word "bad." XP ;) Here's hoping it'll still be good for a laugh or two.

    Real Tentacles

    LOL, I can't believe it, but what do you know. You can find the torrent on Nyaa. Sample pictures provided courtesy of the original seeder. I'll let you know whether this is good or bad (very probably bad :XD: ) and whether it's hysterical or boring (it had goddamn better be funny! Otherwise ...

    End of r*** in ero anime and games?

    illegalizing loli sex in hentai : illegalizing recreational use of tobacco :: illegalizing r*** scenes in hentai : illegalizing recreational use of alcohol This is how I see it. Putting aside one's personal views on all four of the examples I used for the analogy :P , what I'm suggesting is...

    Form an opinion before someone forms it for you...

    This thread can go in a lot of directions, but for my part I want to just focus on the question of Japan's declining birth rate for now. Maybe later I'll join in on some of the other arguments I'm sure are bound to surface. lol Occam's razor leads us, I believe, to the two major reasons for...

    PC game question

    "Open" is such a broad term. ^^; If they're inside of a .rar or .zip, you'll want an archive extraction program like WinRAR. If they're inside of a .7z or other unorthodox archive file, you might want to try 7-Zip instead. Once the game is no longer archived (if ever it was), you'll want...

    Requests only after a minimum of posts?

    Bots and spammers can bypass post counts. They can't very well bypass registration dates. (Or rather, there's no point to it for the bot, and I doubt the typical spammer has that sort of patience, else he wouldn't be a spammer in the first place, n'est-ce pas?) So instead of a post count...

    I thought of you as I made these; or rather, I thought of the tarsier as I read your response, and in turn decided to make these especially for you. ;p Enjoy. My thoughts, since I made 'em: I can't pick my favorite. I think the first one is probably more suited for a macro than many of its...

    There isn't a day that doesn't go by without at least one new JAV video being ripped and uploaded to the internet. If you can afford to store every JAV you come across, then you either must not come across very many or else you must have fairly deep pockets. At even a modest 2 GB a day, you'd...

    How could they even attempt to pull this one off? Breast enlargement, nipple penetration, tentacles, insects, a devil-horse-man, lactation, on and on it goes.

    Atlas and AGTH

    AGTH sounds like just the program I was searching for. But ... Edit: ... it doesn't appear to work for Selen's 燐月 (Ringetsu). Edit #2: Never mind, I had to switch what mode AGTH was attempting to grab text in. I've got it to work just fine now.

    Good news, bad news. Bad news: I couldn't get Nero to burn Disc B. It refused to. It said there was something wrong with the .bin to which the .cue was pointing. And if I tried to just brute-load the .bin, that didn't quite work. So I ended up wasting a disc XD , because I did successfully burn...

It's funny...

    I agree that the things I mentioned aren't the reasons one would choose to watch FMA.

    LOL, how do you figure? As for the なさけねぇ bit, isn't it a little more unimpressive of you to come along and say that in Japanese? If you'd said it in English, it might have been more convincing that you were quite secure in your own grasp of the language and were trying to put aquamarine in...

    I may have misplaced the hyphen. (I always forget where to put it.) What I meant to convey was, "discussions held in the English language," not "discussions about the English language."

    Damn it, the game has a glitch. >_< I explored all of the story avenues I could from the point where Yuuho approaches you seeming like she might be infected.

    Infection 3

    The woman in the kimono does seem to be the game's token milf, but the problem is: - most of the arcs you pick, including the super-duper successful one I'm on right now (it's the longest the game's ever gone for me, and it's brought back every single main character ever introduced in the game...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Well, there are a few caveats. I think Naruto is more accessible than some of its contemporary "pop culture classic" animes and mangas because of its initially broad platform. By that I mean ... the author didn't really do anything or say anything to alienate major sects of society. On the...

    Shit, this game is complicated. XD Anyway, ... It turned out I was right: you need to pick the path I mentioned (plus future choices ;p) in order to get all the characters. And you do.

    To be perfectly honest, I've only seen a small handful of posts anywhere on the internet I've looked since the show started that have been written by eager newcomers to the franchise. All two or three of them (that few, I admit, but still!) were asking things you'd expect of a total newcomer...

Insofar as I may know something you don't, it's going to be chalked up to different exposure to different terms (like I know the word for liver is kimo, 肝, because I...
