Then go for it, I loved watching it out of order, the sheer confusion made me want to watch more to see what the fuck was going on.

In fact, I was so afraid of getting super-confused that I watched the entire series in one sitting.

I attempted one sitting but my chair is uncomfortable, tis why I watched most of it yesterday and plan on finishing it all up today. After that it's the quest for another new anime.

On a somewhat relevant note, I'm now headed out to buy some manga...

What a coincidence; I paid a visit to the few Hobby stores in Manchester and I bought myself a certain fictional Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Well, couldn't find shit-all to buy anywhere (even the import shop), so I order the first volumes of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Kashimashi.

Meh, it's cool and all, but I'm not very in to /M/, so it seems much less awesome to me than it would to a fan of the genre.

That said, I utterly despise FFVII but I still managed to find said replica LAZER (all-caps for meme's sake) reasonably hardcore and worth whatever you paid for it.

Despite Squeenix's infamy of androgynity, I still like their mechanics and weapon designs.
At least that is something I admit Squeenix is doing right either way.

Pfft, I know fandom, but that doesn't mean that I can't think that buying a model of Sister Ray isn't a waste of money.

You won't do anything practical with it, will you?

Doesn't mean it isn't cool.

I tried replaying Final Fantasy VII not too long ago, but I got irritated when I found out that it screws up on the second disc.

So I turned to Star Ocean 2 for my nostalgic gaming needs.

The potato chip scene is one of the coolest things ever.

I was actually surprised the police didn't suspect him for that.

I mean, I'd definately be suspicious of someone who eats their potato chips like this:

Nope, not really.

The playstation version.
You know, the good one.

I wonder if the security cameras did that too, it would add alot more interest for L if they kept randomly switching between the 64 cameras.

But that brings me to a little confusion, if they had 64 cameras in that room why did they only look at one really far away angle of him?

No shit, there are more than enough graphical bugs in the port alone.

He most probably did among the many monitors he is viewing at the same time to keep track of as many actions as possible in the room.

Partly because almost all cameras are in less obvious locations to prevent being spotted.
Don't forget that they are breaking privacy laws in the first place, which limits their choices of cameras even more lest Raito does find them if he was not a criminal (in which it gives the police a very bad name).

I almost bought a model of Anima from FFX, but only because it looked cool.

But it was too expensive.

Although you are able to hack it, so you can fight with Sephiroth.

Are they breaking privacy laws when the chief, the owner of the house, gave permission to put the cameras in his house?

The program was called "Jenova", if I remember correctly.

But couldn't you see that he wasn't doing that?

Hence "as many as possible".

Yes, because he as a chief of the police department has given permission to perform such an act regardless.

Soichiro Yagami was not only hesitant about his family's privacy at stake, but also following L's unacceptable methods by Japanese Law.

It's hard to decide. I have a wide range when it comes to the pitch of my voice. My voice can be really high pitched or really low pitched. Probably some of just about everything. Just no woman-like voices. Twilight doesn't do that kind of stuff. I can do a calm voice really well if I do say so myself. Also angry. And sad. Like I said, I have a wide range.

That's good; versatile = good when voice-acting.

I occasionally find myself shouting key quotes such as Toho Fuhai and Domon's famous lines (BEHOLD! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!), and of course plenty of Hiyama (namely GGG-related or otherwise).

Same here, I actually used to act in plays, and I've got a few minor awards for them.

I've got decent range (I used to be really good at doing impressions), and I'm not really limited to a specific age group (I can do a fairly convincing "doddering old fool").

Reminds me a tad of a little party game me and my friends used to play, "Character Comparison".

What we'd do is we'd ask someone about ten or so questions relating to their personality and mental state, then we'd give them a small psychoanalysis by making a pie graph of characters in contemporary fiction with similar traits (books, films, and television series are all fair game here).

We tend to narrow the individual down to certain types of characters (to make comparisons within similar universes so that someone doesn't end up being "60% Dante Hicks, 40% Derek Smalls" or similar awkward combinations).

I believe last time we played, my "universe" was narrowed to "the works of Rumiko Takahashi" and I was "40% Soun Tendo, 30% Akane Tendo and 30% Girl-type (yes, habeeb it) Ranma Saotome". Shane claims that this comparison is "100% accurate" to who I am.

Needless to say, this game can provide loads of lulz.
