Anova: if the laptop motherboard supports more ram than that, i think i can hook you up with a few 1 GB sticks
Try 512 :\
My RAM is used up before I even boot the thing, haha :S
Really, I run XP on 512, and still have uTorrent, chrome and FL Studio running well.
all u need is famitracker and modplug babby and all the other stuff in between

Not sure exactly how USPS works, but I'm p sure that if you pay a little more for shipping, you can get it insured up to a certain amount, and they'll give you it if it gets lost somewhere.
been smokin much dope lately boys?
No, I would be smoking more if I had more money.
It's only 2 episodes in so there aren't enough recurring actions to make a full drinking game yet, but so far you could have
[Do something] whenever:
Haruka starts taking off his clothes
Shot of someone's upper body with sparkles
Rin has shark teeth
Someone misreads Kou's name as Gou
Saving that for use later, thank you.
I'd rather drink energy than dev-kit
Didn't get back in time from work to enter, my own fault for waiting until the last minute. Oh well, it'll be nice to hear what this famicompo has to offer.
You're limiting your potential customers by only selling within the states, not saying that I'd buy it, I have a distinct lack of money atm. What are your reasons for not selling it internationally?
Free as in liberty,
Free as in beer,
Free! as in swim team.
I've been putting off watching Free! because I want to watch it all in one go after it's aired. Going to make a drinking game out of it.
For those of whom who have seen any of it, how would I go about doing this? I don't want to watch it, and plan it in advance, because it won't be a fun surprise.

Paint.NET is a nice free graphics editing program. I think many people here swear by Grafx for pixel art, though.
DOSBox
One Must Fall 2097
GNUitar
Why DOSBox? 32bit systems and run DOS natively.
Also you missed out the most vital extension of them all, Addblock

And so weird. I liked it, though.
Currently reading おやすみプンプン, which just seems appropriately lost/aimless/exploratory, I guess.
アニメのばあいは時々だけ見ることになった...
I started reading it as well. It's good, really good, but it feels weird reading it.
Yes, Audacity! Good call. I thought about FL studio too, perhaps a legacy version, but I hesitate to bother learning a brand new DAW when all I would be doing is using it as a VST Host to sequence MIDI and bounce the stems to my other more capable computers to mix.
It's pretty simple to learn how to use, and that's pretty much all I use it for as well.
goldwave
oh god yes
I would recommend getting FL Studio for using those VSTs, but with 30gb, it may take up a little too much room. It's pretty decent as long as you aren't doing anything really complicated, I've got an XP laptop, but with a 111gb HD, and 512mb ram, and FL sometimes hangs.
Video making may be a bit of a problem, rendering anything is painfully slow on mine, although it will obviously be faster on yours.
Also Audacity
Gargantia's definitely had some serious animation issues. The dancing episode was a proper cringer. Didn't help that they went for the low hanging "HA, aren't trans people scary and weird?" fruit.
Yeah, that got on my nerves a little.
Solanin is great, Inio Asano is a great artist and writer. After Solanin try "What a Wonderful World", it's a collection of short stories but it has a similar bitter sweet vibe.
After that try Oyasumi Pun Pun, which is where that pic is from. I went into it expecting it to be a similar sort of life affirming, bitter sweet story of people getting by. But my god, it's one of the most depressing things I've ever read. It's still on going, but I wait for every new chapter.She also does some horror work, but I've not really looked into it.
Cool, I'll check those out, as they all sound promising.
I'm sorry, but Beck Dubs all the way. I'll watch a dub if it has good voice acting and I haven't seen the sub yet. Read Or Die, Eureka 7, Lucky Star... Because the original audio track CAN have bad voice acting, and I'm not just going to give them a pass just because it's the original Japanese. English language dub can actually be better sometimes. I won't discriminate.
You really MUST read the manga for Beck. And the live action movie was quite good, too.
I didn't like the beck dub, thought it was mediocre at best, but each to their own.
So... like... is anybody going to talk about anything other than anime? Maybe we should talk about something like New Entertainment Systems so that it looks like it's vaguely related to chipmusic even though it isn't.
I hate the new digital TV stuff that they forced everybody to switch to. At least with the old analog signal if there was interference it'd just get fuzzy and noisy, but with the new system it just skips and freezes so you can't even kind of watch your shows. It's so annoying. Better quality/Interrupted program is not a good trade-off.
I'm not a massive fan of digital TV, nor am I a massive fan of this whole idea that you should have a mahoosive TV. There's so many people who have massive HD plasma screen TVs, and stuff looks so shit on them, watching any old episodes of the simpsons and DVDs are pretty painful. I mean I'll watch HD videos on my laptop as my monitor is 1280x800, perfect for 720p videos, but having a massive TV around 3-4 times the size to display the same thing doesn't look anything like as good. Also a lot of people don't have a HD TV package, so they just end up watching 480p videos on a 56inch plasma, and imo, that kinda defeats the purpose.
Beck is surprisingly accurate in places though the endings in both manga and anime aren't very satisfying. Also, "fluent English" as spoken by stroke victims.
K-on has a pattern that develops with their school year so I stopped after a while.
The engrish wasn't too terrible, I was expecting way worse. The anime ending was alright, I kinda wished there was more, It felt cut short, rather than it was supposed to end like that. Haven't read the manga yet, but I'll probably do it in a few years, when the anime isn't so clear in my head.
I'm a huge sub elitist. It's not even the language. I just can't get into everyone having american accents.
This season I've been watching Gargantia, Aku no Hana (the manga was great), Shingeki no Kyojin, (again, manga has been amazing) and although I'm a bit behind Space Brothers has been a safe bet the whole way through.
I always go for subs, unless there's no choice, or if it's exceptional like baccano's, but I haven't found any other good ones.
As for gargantia, I've been watching it, and it's p good so far, there have been a few animation cockups, namely the episode wth all the dancing and stuff, but other than that, pretty alright. I've also been watching valvrave, due to how hilarious it is, problem is that I get Ledo confused with L-Elf, and kinda blend them into the same person. Space brothers is p good as well, although I tanked through around 35 episodes in the space of 4 days, so I haven't really watched much of it since then.
Edit:
After reverse image searching the pic that ningen has as on their bandcamp page, I saw solanin and started reading that. Finished the first volume not to long ago, it's really good so far.
This is the problem: you didn't watch the whole series through. People dislike it for its slow build up, but its necessary, otherwise the show would not be as genius as it is. It's hard to describe this without spoiling anything, but - wait, why did you even begin to watch EoE if you hadn't watched past 16 episodes? You really need to just watch everything over again in order, and fight the urge to stop watching because you think it's "dull" (btw, if you let "that scene" put you off, you definitely need a better sense of context). Everything in Evangelion comes together perfectly, regardless of what anyone says. It's one of the most highly acclaimed animes, and the soundtrack is killer!!! I highly advise you reconsider your anime watching habits.
Also - Serial Experiments Lain is rockin' too. Watch it.
I tend to follow the three episode rule when I watch an anime, if by the third episode, I still don't like it, then I drop it. 3 episodes tends to give the show enough time to actually do something, there are of course things where the rule doesn't apply, clannad and steins;gate you need to watch about 5-7 episodes. I would have dropped NGE within about 7 episodes if it wasn't for all the hype associated with it. An with EoE, I haven't watched it, I got linked to "that scene" by someone I know online, I wouldn't watch the film that takes place after the series, while still watching the series because that's p dumb. I still don't quite understand how "that scene" will be any better in any context, but whatever. Also, I can't find the article at the moment, but it's a very interesting read, basically it's about how the author of NGE hates the series, and hates anyone who likes it.
Will admit that the soundtrack can have it's moments.
To each his own, I like Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi No Apollon), Gurren Lagann, Towanoquon, Toriko, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Rainbow, Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, K-On!, Azumanga Daioh, House of Five Leaves...
ugh... too much variety...
TTGL is dope, genuinely one of my favorite anime of all time. Beck was amazing as well, I enjoyed how, compared to something like K-On, which is moeshite with guitars, Beck was actually about a musician. It felt as though it was written by someone who had actually been in a band, or had friends who could tell them, it was so well done.
samurai champloo is great :3 i like how his shows tend to be much nicer watches dubbed haha
I don't like dubs, imo they are rarely as good as the Japanese originals. Baccano had a fantastic dub, it's the only time where I've chose it over the original, mostly because brooklyn accents.
