Sniper Rifle Demon Baby Abortion. This is a thing that happens in DMC and that is one of many reasons why it's poo poo. Critics only play about an hour of a game before making a review and this happens towards the end.

KayTee posted:At the risk of furthering the derail - A horrible thing performed by the game's villain, that is displayed to the audience as truly horrific, and is acknowledged by the other characters as truly horrific, is a bad thing because...? Because it has no place in a Devil May Cry perhaps? At no other point in the series does a character, who up to that point had been portrayed as merely pragmatic, do something as outright stupid and edgy as killing a hostage during a hostage trade.

OldTennisCourt posted:It's actually pretty cool that Jim Shooter's saying "Yeah, I had nothing to do with writing that but as Editor in Chief I should have stopped it and holy poo poo I REALLY should have stopped it. I'm so sorry this exists." I have never heard of that series and that link doesn't work. So let's just chuck the series name in google and quote:Kannazuki no Miko (神無月の巫女, literally Priestesses of the Godless Month) is a yuri manga series created by Kaishaku. Ah, lesbians. Why wouldn't it be that.

Jay O posted:Right. So if I know terrible otaku, it's most assuredly a "plz love mai waifu" thing. Ugh. It's why people have such a low opinion of anime fandom, even in Japan. It's this small but vocal segment of the creepiest weirdos with awful taste and paper skin who immediately jump into your business if you so much as show an interest in anime on the whole. Hey Jay O, do you have any particular skeevy anime that people have requested that you cover? I mean, surely you've gotten worse requests then Eiken or Ikki Tousen? On a semi-unrelated note, what do you think of Serial Experiments Lain?

Wrageowrapper posted:Margaret Mahy was involved in another TV series called Kaitangata Twitch which is also pretty good for kids TV. It's sort of a supernatural mystery with a good dose of Maori mythology. Kaitangata Twitch had a lot of good stuff going on for it from the five or so episodes that I caught. What I saw did get me interested enough to check out Maori folk tales from time to time.

There's a lot more good pop on the radio today than there ever was in the 2000's, and the good stuff has actual staying power *cough*The Killers*cough*. You didn't have loving Adele on the radio in 2007, or Fun, or Imagine Dragons, or loving Daft Punk. Daft Punk is playing on mainstream pop stations, right the gently caress now. Daft Punk was playing on mainstream stations in Australia in 2002 & 2005.

bbf2 posted:Through some sort of sheer coincidence, the second part of Kyle's Beauty and the Beast review ALSO contains the exact same footage of that same eye slashing scene during the segment where he starts to talk about French cinema. I've never heard of that eyeslashing movie/scene before and yet somehow saw it twice over the span of a couple hours while watching two unrelated videos released today. Weird. I... actually only know this movie from a Pixies song. But I don't think I'll be able to handle that eyeslashing bit.

Jsor posted:This may be dumb, but I thought the Fate/Stay series was porn? I just know I looked it up once and Wikipedia claimed it was some ancient Windows eroge. Is there some kind of intricate, storied tale behind this series suddenly showing up on every list of "best animes/visual novels/stories ever" I've seen recently? Apparently the sex scenes in the original V/N were kinda crowbarred in because every V/N back then had sex scenes. They cut out the porn and nothing changed.

Jsor posted:The funniest parts of TB's videos are always when he goes over the option menu. I swear if I make a game I almost want to make a menu with like 3000 text boxes that set placebo values like "vector normalization gradient" just so he can't complain about there being "too few options." I don't get why he bothers with the options menu. Usually if a reviewer points out the options menu, it's because the game has zero options.

Edits where they're trying to appeal to a different audience are so loving weird. Australia got the Canadian cut of Cardcaptors which was more inline with the original Japanese version so we never got them trying to force Li as the main character.

Infamous Sphere posted:Yeah, it's odd to pick a not-particularly-interesting one hit wonder (I'd say "let alone one I haven't heard of" but that doesn't mean much), especially when there's still stuff out there like Tarzan Boy or I'm Too Sexy or Da Da Da or She Blinded Me With Science or They're Coming To Take Me Away Haha or Land Downunder, etc etc etc. Hell, I hadn't heard of How Bizarre, but at least that song was interesting and there was an interesting backstory to it. I'd say he's choosing the boring ones for completeness' sake, which seems odd because I doubt many people are requesting them. I tend not to review things I can't say much about, because it's boring for me and it's boring for the people watching. Sadly Men at Work have had a number of big hits in America with Who can it be Now & Down Under being number 1 hits, Be Good Johnny being number 1 on the rock charts and Overkill hitting number 3. A classic Aussie band that he could do is the Divinyls whose only success in America was a top ten hit with I Touch Myself. Crowded House could work because they hit number 2 with Don't Dream It's Over, number 7 with Something so Strong then never impacted the US charts again. EDIT: Or Spiderbait. Black Betty hit number one on the US charts and their other music is easy to find and pretty fun to listen to so he could have a decent amount of material there. I was actually going to suggest he do Song 2 by Blur but it turns out that wasn't even a hit in America, literally just everywhere else. Something that would be interesting would be if he started looking at bands that were successful outside of America but when it came to the US, they just couldn't break through. Like for example the Living End, they were a constant presence on the Triple J Hottest 100 for ten years and had a number of smash hits in Australia but the highest they got in the US was 23 on the Rock charts.

Jay O posted:If he's only watching Ghibli films that Disney has licensed, that doesn't count Grave of the Fireflies. (Or any other "adult" Ghibli movies with the bizarre exception of The Wind Rises.) That license is currently owned by Sentai Filmworks. Actually, something interesting. Disney currently holds the dstribution rights to Grave of the Fireflies in Japan. So he might do it on a technicality.

It's really weird, he's cool with witches just existing and nobody noticing but a guy being cursed to look like a pig and nobody caring is just too out there? This sounds snobby as poo poo but I have a feeling that Doug really just didn't get it. Porco Rosso is just like an old adventure novel and it's not there for you to just think out everything.

Huh, apparently Riptide by Vance Joy did decently over in America. That would be top ten for sure in my eyes. I mean, it was number 1 on the Triple J hottest 100 last year and that's a good indicator of quality.

I think that maybe the worst songs of somewhere between 93-95 would be interesting. There was a lot of great poo poo released in this period but I can't really remember any bad songs so I assume that I've just blocked them from my memory.

Compendium posted:Ferngully was supposed to take place in Australia I believe? Not that the setting or any racial stuff really mattered since it had magical fairies and smog Tim Curry kind of make that point moot. Well, they needed a location with rainforests and a ready supply of white people despite Australias rainforests not really being in danger. Also Mount Warning (where Fern Gully is set) is actually super loving culturally significant for the Aboriginal people of the region.

Idran posted:If that was all they wanted, they didn't need to go with Australia; the Pacific rainforest in the Pacific Northwest is the largest temperate rain forest on the planet. So I have to imagine they had more reason to go with Australia than that. Not really. There is only three kinds of Australian animal that are used that aren't just as something in the background or something that the characters go past. These being the Cassowaries (which aren't even native to that region of Australia), the Goanna & the Fruit Bat. They probably needed an area that is mysterious enough that they can excuse Smog Tim Curry. As stated though, Mount Warning is a real place that holds cultural significance to the Aboriginal people of the region.
