i like it a lot!

heheheh

hey, welcome to the thread!

sounds tempting~! i'm quite the aficionado of crap jazz myself

what kind of music do you write pianogameboy! you seem like a very nice person

liar...!

i'm open to any new people who want to talk! don't be shy

(i'm not a troll. i promise!)

aah! that's interesting

i wonder if those themes exist in real-life japanese culture as well

oh! i haven't... i noticed there is a bit of tumblr drama over one of the characters (people can't decide whether or not they are crossdressing or trans), i'm not familiar with it myself outside of that though

welcome to the watercooler, sandneil! i haven't played all that many DOS games (i grew up as more of a late 90s kid), i got introduced to doom a couple of months ago though and it's a load of fun to play, it's far more fun than most first person shooterz are now i think

i'm still rubbish at it though. haha

hahaha! i steamrolled through the first season of a certain moe mahjong anime last year and developed a very shortlived interest in the game.

Pluto looks cool yikes I'll try to check it out soon.

the anime based around games are all really quite interesting haha... it's always great to see some drama unfold around someone who is a master of their craft (whatever that is)

i remember watching an episode of one called "hikaru no go" (about go) a while ago, it was one of the specials they aired about a couple of years after the anime had finished... it was really great! my one complaint is that they never finished it off, i have to read the manga now (-n-;;;)

My impression is that audiences have been tested and react negatively to CG people that are hyper-realistic. It's called the uncanny valley; you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

Also, my favorite anime is Spirited Away. I also like Princess Mononoke, 5 Centimeters Per Second, and Summer Wars.

Yeah. Uncanny Valley makes me think twice about being such a big Mega Man fan. I mean, I've seen this thing called "My Fake Baby" and they are hyperrealistic baby dolls that can even be designed with scars, breathing and warming mechanisms, and hair and stuff. *shudders* if that's what Mega Man would be like in real life... >_> O.O

oof! that seems quite bizarre haha

i wonder how people would go out of their way to scar their own fake babies...

feryl that is interesting! it kind of makes me wonder how people will see robots when their intelligence increases... robot rights maybe??

ahhh, kaiji!! that show is fantastic, akagi is as well

nichijou has the same studio as lucky star but as far as i'm aware the adaptations are from different creators! kyoani does a lot of slice of life stuff (lucky star, k-on!, etc) and a lot of them are very light and enjoyable

for mature/dark manga i really recommend naoki urasawa's work, pluto is a brilliant thing (his "astro boy" fanfiction, believe it or not), 21st century boys is a must read as well

LSD Dream Emulator sounds like a fun game. I can't believe the thread for that game went for so long without an un-ironic "not related to chiptune" comment. Maybe there is room on this board for non-chiptune-related General Discussion after all?

i certainly think so~! irc is hardly a place that most people are aware of or would visit, for the most part when people see such a lovely site as this for the first time they want to relax and get to know all the lovely musicians that frequent it!

and here at the chipmusic.org watercooler we are happy to oblige all people~

Favorite anime? Toradora.
Second favorite is either Nichijou or Arakawa Under the Bridge.

ahh, nichijou!

i've only seen halfway of this one but i can agree it's fantastic, there are so many funny sketches

the dream sequence about mio's hair cubes is one of my favourites

i'm not sure what my favourite anime is...! death note was nice, i haven't seen that one in ages

i like manga a lot haha, berserk is one of my favourites (too bad it won't get finished tho)
