[Imperium]

I have yet to watch it, ill try later today though. Btw, Do you remember the mexican jokes from the last ep?Well.....it caused a diplomatic incident. And i heard it was Albanias turn this time... ^^;

 

[hunter71485]

It is. Studio 23. You may be able to get it on TFC, but I'm not sure.

Top Gear killed off James May. Then brought him back in a behind-the-scenes video.

 

[baboysai]

funny... I was just thinking of the azkals when I was riding a jeepney today and the music on the radio was Waka waka... and then We Are The World, and it brought tears to my eyes thinking of MJ..

Imp, I heard about the Mexican incident with TG. But I don't think they (TG) care...

 

[kuroihikari]

Awww.

"Who let the dogs out?" would be an awesome cheer for them if they weren't made up of pretty boys.

 

[hunter71485]

Uh, TG/BBC did care - they issued an official apology to the ambassador.

 

[baboysai]

Already? I thought Clarkson followed up with another insult, this time personally, to the ambassador... well, maybe that was the last straw and they did let out an apology.

Anyway, fuck it, I just finished H2 which I believe is the best manga Mitsuru Adachi's ever written Mitsuru Adachi is now my favorite shounen mangaka ever

 

[Imperium]

They're always apologising for one thing or the other. I think they have a special apologising team too.

I read h2...well read is to say ive read about 50 or so chapters and put it on hiatus. Im thinking of reading cross game instead. Its not very appealing so far. ._.

 

[baboysai]

Well I loved Cross Game to death, until I finished H2. Admittedly, H2 is quite slow, and drags on, considering it has 34 volumes, and it covers three Koshien seasons...

However~! H2 by the last three volumes suddenly increases heat and you never know what's coming. That's the difference between Cross Game and H2. Cross Game always had a feeling of nostalgia, and melancholy, and predictability. And that's why it was such a good read too, i suppose. Coz you just wanted to root for the hero all the way, and he's so good you know he's going to make it in the end. It's like you just keep reading because there's the awesome tsundere that deserves better...

H2 on the other hand, has two heroes, (thus H-2), and both are stellar and justified, and for the rest of the volumes this is pretty much it. Until the very end where, of course, they battle it out...

For the most part I'd prefer Cross Game, ending in a sweet way like you want it to, but the ending of H2 was such a good one it just blew my mind away.

 

[kuroihikari]

Three Koshien seasons? Wow. Hmm. 34 volumes. Worth a peek.

I liked Major and that was much longer . From when he was 5 years old up until the time he was wed with his rival/best friend as his best man. And at the World Series.

 

[baboysai]

wow that's long. I've heard of Major but I didn't give it a shot... ehehehe. H2 is three Koshien seasons because it's one summer, one spring, and the final summer

---

kuro-tan, if you like more drama though, I suggest you read Cross Game first. ^^

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm buying a Core i5-based CPU (the quad one), 1Tb HDD. Yeah had to screw the video card and "be content" with the built-in Intel GMA 4500 (which I'm gonna replace sooner or later) so I can fit the 20k-23k budget.

 

[kuroihikari]

Congrats! Now you can save up for that a decent video card. SHould be in the 2k-3k range.

 

[hunter71485]

I'm going for a HD5670, which is a bit above average - but average nontheless. Php4800~

 

[baboysai]

I caught up to another great series. This is what bumming is like, apparently..

why is the world of manga so great?

and I hate being a bum, I really do!

 

[hunter71485]

I'm getting to where you at now, bb (that is, I'm starting to hate being a bum)

 

[baboysai]

oh come on. You've only had so much time. I, on the other hand... am into my 8th month as a bum... that's enough to drive me... manga-crazy, I guess
