I genuinely tried to write something like it was 2010 but even looking at my posts from 2010 made it hard for me to say my typing voice has changed enough. Like looking back at posts I can see some moments where I was more pretentious than I am now, and I definitely was doing a lot more with Chao, b...

I'm hosting four panels, though three of them are co-hosting to different degrees. One is about the changes made when bringing the Digimon anime to the English speaking audience. That one is my solo work and I plan to put videos on it eventually. Then I'm barely helping, but arranged, a panel to dis...

Upcoming conventions I have are a local, smaller convention in September and possibly Daishocon at the Wisconson Dells in November. This past year I attended C2E2 in Chicago, Anime Central in Rosemont, and Anime Midwest also in Rosemont. I've been attending Anime Central since 2008 and other convent...

The most likely situation is that your Silver Chao and your Shiny Two-Tone Black Chao are likely mixed breeds. This is obvious in your results: If your Silver Chao were pure, then it could only have offspring that are Silver Chao or Shiny Jewel Chao, so your Silver Chao could easily have had a Sky B...

I think the most important thing, especially to address the controversy, is access to some drafts of the script. I don't believe that the villain turning into the logo was meant to be a jab at fans. It felt more like a cute homage. "Well have they ever fought a ghost that looks like their logo?" And...

the controversy was ridiculous, it was valid criticism drowned out by accusing people of being mouth breathing, woman hating man children, and then ****** actual mouth breathing, woman hating man children ******** on a product that wasn't even out in the name of a franchise that had already been ru...

And I really liked the ending. Zuul! That honestly completed the movie for me, because it made it even more clear that this movie was setting up for more. Dude, there's a movie discussion thread. I see that, but I counter with two points: 1. I searched "ghostbusters" before making this thread, and ...

I'm gonna start a discussion about this, because I want to see some qualitative opinions about it. And YouTube comments haven't been helping. To help everyone out, please make it clear if you have seen this 2016 version . Having seen it, the trailer does not represent the movie well at all. It doesn...

The Dreamcast versions of the SA2 gardens are more interesting , but not better. A key example I give about the Dreamcast gardens in general is that on SA1, the Egg Carrier water doesn't have a neck-high bottom. Your Chao can swim down and essentially be trapped in the water until it finds its way b...

I will say that carpet is the killer in house flooding. I'll say about five years back, my basement was at least a third professionally carpeted, and after a flood, it immediately started smelling bad and had to be cut up and thrown out. Today was like that, but smaller and easier because we only ha...

Let's be honest.

Jaleel White is the only true Sonic.

Today I woke up to find a few inches of water in my basement and all of my power cords ruined. My family and I spent the entire day cleaning up the mess that resulted from our basement flooding, which meant I called off work. This is not the first time we have had flooding, but it definitely was mem...

The Post-Gamecube ports of the Sonic Adventure titles come with some loss, actually. Though that loss is primarily over breeding. From my experience with the 360 version of SA1, whether you call it DX or not, the breeding attempted to bring back the Dreamcast breeding mechanisms, but included absolu...

Theoretically someone should be able to fix the Bright Chao situation with a mod, but no one has come out and done that, as far as I know.

I can answer all of these questions all together. On Dreamcast, SA1 uses its own unique system, and SA2 uses essentially the same system as the Gamecube and later versions. On every version of SA1, you can obtain a Gold Chao, a Silver Chao, and a Black Chao, but on Dreamcast the Black Chao is a Two-...

We didn't mention you because you're not disappeared to plenty of us. We can still find you.

But anyway, glad you pop by. You can never leave.

Emphasis on MAN, Mamkute. We need someone who had three college degrees, a beard, and hair on his chest.

But, despite this complaint, I trust my wife. He can do no wrong.

I'll agree that there were quite a few sudden name changes, or at least I noticed a few. I'm used to not knowing what people are going by, though.

I would have been like 8, and it was the Digimon V-Pet that my friend had. At least I'm pretty sure that was the earliest.

How old were you when you last did a cartwheel?

Not sure how many of the active users know who Blade really is anymore. Or who BUSHNAK is.

This is a very dated meme.

Firefox for life.

Not the best lover, but I can handle the struggle.

Admittedly being a general user is definitely newer in my history. I did used to always be a Chao user. But I'm not even sure if that is as relevent to the divide we see on the general end. There clearly is something different about the "larrys". I'll also say that I haven't noticed any "adults" do ...

Let's pretend I'm dumb or new here. Where is the elitism? Like regularly I hear people saying there is elitism but what I tend to see is existing friend groups just wanting to do stuff with each other. Maybe I don't spend enough time reading the board, but I don't see how it is elitism. Or am I part...
