Will do. People unfamiliar with Kamen Rider Decade will want to watch episodes 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 20, and 21 at the least. That's enough to introduce you to all the major characters and the season's overall plot. Episodes 4 and 5 introduce a minor character who's sort of plot-important, but I honestly don't think she'll play a major role in the teamup, if any at all, so it's probably safe to skip those eps. One of the weapons I know for sure Tsukasa will use during the teamup comes from episodes 8 and 9, but that's not plot important either. As far as the crossover itself goes, there will be small bits and pieces about it in Shinkenger eps 20 and 21, but the bulk of the teamup will be contained within Decade eps 24 and 25. EDIT: For great picture justice.

Man, I'm running out of euphemisms. I can't keep using "ass spanking" or "womb escape" day. Happy birthday man.

Happy birthday, man. (hopes you randomly spent it by cooking more hotplate food for that random chick last Valentines, but knows this is unlikely)

Pretty sure he meant Kadaj. But more important than the manwomanhips was WHERE THE HELL DID HE HIDE THAT TAIL?

In celebration of one of the few good things to ever come out of the USSR, I suggest a bunch of us download Blocktrix later today. Ain't no better Tetris than Tetris where you can use attack blocks to fuck up five other people's fields as you play.

I've seen some people actually speculating that he was trying autoerotic asphyxiation, and it clearly went horribly horribly wrong. I don't quite know what to think about that.

Looks like they're not going with the blatant sequel hook at the end of GS2; the DS title will take place down the line and stars the descendants of the previous games' heroes. (link)

I don't know where to find it downloadable, but you can watch it at http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/.

Man, looks like I'd better refresh my memory on the manga again.

They specifically said "sometime in Q2 2009" the last time, so technically they won't have missed their newest deadline until June's over.

OH GOD DOUBLE POST More Shinken spoiler pics! Whole lot of 'em. XD http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken142.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken143.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken144.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken146.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken147.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken148.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken149.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken150.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken151.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken152.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken153.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken154.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken155.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken156.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken157.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken159.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken160.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken161.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken162.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/sinken163.jpg And a Youtube video for the upcoming Shinkenger and Kamen Rider Decade movies, which we'll undoubtedly have to wait a year to see since TV-N doesn't sub the movies until they're released on DVD. This one video has the trailers and press conferences for both groups; the Shinkenger press conference goes from 2:20 to 4:43, and the movie trailer from 5:04 to the end, and both have some of the same spoilers seen in the pics above. No subs for this yet. Oh, and for anyone who cares, Richard Brown's actor from Shinken 14 has a blog and a Facebook account. Also, here is a picture of a preadolescent Tono-sama to reward you all for going through all that crap. You can tell he was a big fan of Kakuranger back in the day. ---- Also, Ashamee and DarkeSword mentioned Gekiranger as a nice alternative to Shinken, or at least to the whole "waiting a week for each new ep" bit. I never got the chance to watch it back in the day, and I'm a few eps in now; it really is a fun ride, and very different from Shinken in terms of character focus and where they're taking things. I also want to quickly suggest another season though (assuming Shariq doesn't mind the short threadhijacking): Carranger. It was 1996's season (season #20), and is actually an affectionate parody of Super Sentai. The premise is basically five idiot car repair shop workers becoming Rangers to FIGHT FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY against a group of idiot aliens, and features such nonsense as monsters growing large by eating a specific brand of Japanese sweet potato bars, not knowing how to use their mecha and having to read driver's manuals in battle, panicking when super powerful monsters are about to grow and just use the mecha to stomp them flat before they can, and the lyrics for the primary mecha's theme song including the line "even though the enemy is stupidly huge, we can’t afford to lose". Unfortunately, unlike Geki, the entire series isn't available; HaroRangers has only subbed 7 episodes of 48. Still, you guys should check it out while you wait for Shinken 16.

Metal Gear Soild: Full Boss Consequences?

I just saw a commenter on Joystiq who claimed "Raiden" could be a grown up Sunny. I lol'd. And then I looked again and realized it could be vaguely possible looks-wise, and shivered.

So how IS the movie compared to the book? I'm a masochist, and have actually read all of Dan Brown's books (up to this point; I know a fifth is due out this year). So I'm curious. I wish they'd make movies of the other two books though. If I have to sit through flicks riddled with inconsistencies, I'd prefer them to have a lot of surplus military grade weaponry firing at people. Though admittedly, the typhoon at the end of Deception Point might be hard to CGI.

Happy ass spanking day, mang.

Yeah, and I'm surprised how good he still looks. A lot of Sentai/Kamen Rider actors who come back a decade or two later kind of let themselves go to pot.

Got a couple of pictures from a press conference for the upcoming Shinkenger and Decade movies. These four pictures are full of major spoilers, but if you're curious as to see a little bit of what's ahead for the series, check them out. There's a bit more behind pic #4, but this forum doesn't have anything akin to spoiler tags that I could tell, so I can't really explain here. I guess if you guys PM me, I can say there. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/shinken1.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/shinken2.png http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/shinken3.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u136/Arrowned/shinken4.jpg

Definitely a maybe again. Just like last year, I want to go, and living 30 minutes away makes for an easy daily drive, but I'm simply not sure I'll be able to pull it off this time. If I can't make Otakon itself and there's another BBQ Sunday afternoon though, I should have no problem hitting that up.

About the same; I'm just one broke mofo.

I saw it in IMAX. I kind of never want to see a movie at a normal theater again. But I couldn't possibly afford that.

In case anyone doubted it before, Capcom has confirmed it's officially happening.

While that's not exactly what happened, the visuals are still there, and it's something I'll never be able to erase. XD

This would be the smart thing to do, but you'd be surprised how many people in ALL types of fields don't think of doing that.

Didn't someone already mention how Nero's ship was Borg tech from the future, and that his actual mining WESSEL was inside it?

QFT man. They just increased their standard package from 750gb space and 7500gb bandwidth to unlimited for both. I don't know how they could even legitimately pull that off, but I'm sure as hell not complaining.
