It's that time again.... Red vs Blue is starting up again Memorial Day (May 28 ) and I'm inviting all of you to watch it with me as the episodes come out. I will be updating this first post as the season goes on but first, we have the teaser trailer up today. Teaser trailer Preview trailer Behind the scenes Episode 1. Episode 2. Episode 3. Episode 4.

I forgot another good one. The production value actually gets insanely good after the first few episodes. But it's clear that LordQuadros (creator) was just starting out so he gets a lot better after a few episodes. Also, if you like Team Four Star's Dragonball Z abridged, they actually did the first 2 episodes of as well. Seriously guys, it has everything I don't like in a show, but I've watched it at least 5ive times already.

So there have been some pretty noteworthy anime abridged series like Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged by Little Kuriboh, Naruto Abridged by MasakoX and Vegeta3986, and Dragon Ball Z abridged by Team Four Star. But if you don't know what it is, what you do is you take an original production, edit it, rewrite the script, record your own voice overs, and above all else: Make it funny. However, I've also watched a couple of good VG abridged series like by "YaCrazyChannel" by "xanauzumaki" Abridged by "SonsofSatire". They even got Katethegreat19 to voice Aeris.One thing I should mention that with all fan productions, they get better as they go on. No one creates a great show right as they start out. Well.... except for of course. Has anyone else taken an interest in these small productions? I think they provide more than enough entertainment to be worth checking out.

I did a little looking into planetside. Was it any good?

Defiance is the first persistent online world that plays like a pixel perfect shooter. Unlike other shooter games where you can play co-op with 4 or 8 players at most, Defiance supports thousands of players playing together in a game that never ends. And if that doesn't raise your eyebrows just a bit, the world of Defiance exists not only in the game, but in a TV series of the same name that will air on the Syfy channel. The game and show will change and evolve together, to create an entertainment experience unlike anything you've ever experienced. We're glad to be able to take advantage of the power and features of the PS3 to help bring such a world to life. I'm shocked at the evolution of the PS3. I thought Dust514 was going to be the most unique thing to come out of it. But this just blows it out of the water. Sure we don't know anything about it yet, and since I'm at the point where I don't care about graphics anymore, it isn't an issue. Games look good enough that there is nothing to complain about. That and we don't have any idea about story which will be key for getting the tv series to work well. As a concept, this looks like the biggest breakthrough since online gaming. But it could easily fail and I can't wait to see what becomes of it. We will see when more info comes out. Discuss people!

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!11!11!ELEVENTYONE!!! I just recently watched (give it till 45 seconds to get good) and said, "Well, I guess it's time to watch Hellsing Ultimate. I just got to the 9th and final episode and discovered that it isn't done yet. This thing has been airing since 2006, only has 9 episodes out, and isn't finished? I am so bummed out.

There's nothing wrong with having an opinion. I can't stand adventure time either. I know I'm not being fair, but the art style is just so bad that I won't even give it a chance. No, I liked CN when they put serious stuff on like toonami. But then I saw Saul of the Mole Men and I forever stopped watching CN.

Peer pressure. It's a terrible thing.

I guess now would be a good time for people to start naming great anime dubs. I'll start with Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam 00, IGPX, Spice and Wolf, and I'll even throw in Final Fantasy XII just for fun. You?

I swear I heard my high school marching band at some points.

Works for me.

Looks like you guys are getting a little recognition now a few years down the line after it's release. IGN just posted an article outlining which Final Fantasy albums are worth checking out. You can find the article here. http://music.ign.com/articles/121/1216881p1.html

Na. First season of Gundam 00 was unbelievable. Epic finale like few shows can pull off. But seeing as it is a gundam show, it has to have 50 episodes. That sucks.

I.... Um....... Thunder Thouin, what have you created? I don't even know what to say. It's.....I've got to listen to it again and share it with everyone I know because this is really out of this world.

I talked about spice and wolf earlier. I was wondering about what you think about a particular part of the soundtrack. There is a pretty ugly sounding engrish song called And someone made a kind of rap version of it here. Ummmmm, I just think it's worth talking about. I really don't know what to say. I think Holo's expression on the video speaks exactly my feelings on it.

My brother was in the jazz band in school. He also played classical piano and hearing him practice every day was unbearable. Especially since he wasn't a fast learner and I would hear his mistakes all the time, over and over again. I just got sick of it.

I get where you are coming from. It's just that all of the things that made Bebop great were things that I didn't like. I can't deny that the show has class. But I don't like jazz and the story is the most important part of a game, anime, or film for me. It just wasn't a good match. However, the ship designs for Outlaw Star were unreal.

I was really looking for a way to keep using it. It's really a goner?

I've got a 1 year old Sony Walkman Yesterday, the thing started shocking my ears about every minute or so. Now when I turn it on, it goes to the startup screen for about 30 seconds, and then turns off. Now it isn't working anymore. When I plug it into my computer, my computer recognizes that it is there, but will not be able to connect with it. EDIT: Just unplugged it from my computer and it doesn't respond at all.

I have a different opinion on Cowboy Bebop. I'm watching it for the first time and I'm on episode 20. Honestly, I find it really boring. Ed is annoying, Fey is evil, and Spike is emotionless. I heard that you could compare it to Outlaw Star (one of my favorites) and that it was better than it. But I'm just not getting into it at all. The one thing that saved it for me is Steven Blum doing the voice of Spike. At least in Outlaw star, the world was richer, and there was a bigger storyline that tied in the whole series together. Bebop on the other hand, is a list of stand alone stories that don't mean anything the next episode.

So I watched this I thought I would get this But instead I got this: Anyone else want to share their story of how they got fooled? Preferably in this format, because it's more fun.

I saw several things worth watching from We Were Soldiers to The Polar Express. But the MGS Rising er.... I mean Revengence, was the absolute biggest letdown of the show for me. Even worse than Bioware and Epic's reveals. The game has a tenth of the polished look from the last trailer a year ago. And they are making it look and play exactly like Vanquish IMO. I think what I'm really disappointed about is that people don't die in a slash like we saw in the first trailer. They should have at least shown some footage of the environment being slashed like they did last time. But whatever. There was absolutely nothing worth seeing for my particular interests. Even "The Last of Us" didn't appeal to me. Sure it looked like technical marvel, but it's just not my type of game.
