    Your All Purpose Anime Thread

    If you need a Dragon Ball fix,  there's these shorts promoting some card game that's pretty cool,  probably not in canon,  has Future Trunks,  Mai, a new saiyan and the return of Cooler, and another Goku who can go SSJ4. Its good,  but mainly a plug for the card game and leaves you hanging. Only 2 episodes and they're not doing another one until September.

    Anyone here own any import gaming consoles?  I've modded consoles before, but I'm kinda wanting to pick up at least a couple import consoles, at least for systems I have/want a large import collection.  I'm close to buying a limited edition PS2 J-NTSC console an a Japanese Dreamcast probably wouldn't be far behind.  Only reason I'm hesitating is the power supply issues.  Some websites say I can plug a Japanese gaming console directly into an outlet.  Other sites say I need a stepdown transformer.  Voltage is different in the US than Japan, but not hugely.  110 volts to 100.

    Anyone here own/owned import consoles?  Did you use a stepdown transformer or something similar? 

    I thought about getting a imported Saturn since a lot of the Japanese games for it are much more inexpensive than their US counterparts.  But I remembered at some point I imported X-Men vs Street Fighter and there's a way to play them on the US console. 

    Now I'm considering getting a Neo Geo CD since the games on them are much cheaper than the AES/MVS version.

    Probably because ECW had hideous merch in general (with a couple of exceptions). Something like that just got lost in the shuffle, I would imagine.

    I remember thinking that when watching the WWE-ECW doc and Taz was going on about great of a designer he was (he claimed to have designed a majority of them) and all I could think of was a lot of these are turrible

    I can't remember if it was under Kelly's run or not but I liked the idea of when the Big 7 left to find Plastic Man, they left Nigtwing in charge. It was up there with Wally and Kyle graduating to the upper part of the DCU, but then afterwards DiDio went on his attempts to kill him

    Kyle Matthews - who had already announced this would be his last year wrestling - said he tore his ACL and thus has had to cancel his remaining books and that he has had his last match.

    That's sad. I was looking forward to seeing him at the Scenic City Invitational tournament. I remember when Bryan Danielson gave him his blessing back when he was wrestling at Rampage Pro Wrestling.  My only question was why didn't he go further, he had the talent to go places.

    Best Movie Opening / Ending?

    The opening farm scene in Inglorious Basterds.

    The tension built in that scene was incredible. For some of the awful plot directions he can take (Hateful 8 I’m looking at you) Tarantino has written and directed great conversation through his films. I’d go so far to say that scenes of people talking are his best. The violence is just topping.

    Closing scene imo is just as good.  Guy is so evil throughout the movie and suddenly he's going to get away with it all but no.  I was cheering when Aldo gave his famous speech

      Reveal hidden contents

    Echoing most of the sentiment about figuring most of the dusted characters would come back part way through the second movie.

    For those of you who are familiar with the source material, is there any chance Gammora became one with the soul stone after her death and somehow haunts Thanos or becomes a voice in his head type of deal?  I also figured Dr. Strange is also in some other realm and an active participant until his resurrection.

     

    Spoiler

    I haven't read the book on years but from what I recall it was Adam Warlock who had control over the soul gem and saved those forthe final fight.  I can't remember Dr. Strange's role in it though. 

    Obviously they're not going that route but it's very possible they could have Gamora in that role

    APRIL 2018 MOVIE DISCUSSION

    Yeah, they raised the price and changed it to one movie per week. I considered signing up about 2 months ago when it was still unlimited, and only $8 a month, but then I read dozens of stories of people not getting their cards and all kinds of other problems. 

    And now you can only see the movie once. So even if you like it no multiple viewings on the Pass

    I know some people here are fans of the OnePlus phones. The new one is set to be announced in May, here's what Engadget had to say about it.

     

    Quote

    As with many other 2018 flagships, the OnePlus 6 is expected to center around a virtually-all-screen design -- in this case, a 6.3-inch 2,280 x 1,080 display with the seemingly obligatorynotch. It won't represent a radical break from the 5T on the inside, although the Snapdragon 845 chip and doubled maximum storage (up to 256GB) will help. And to no one's surprise, leaks have the OnePlus carrying dual cameras (16MP and 20MP) on the back.
