Obviously this is difficult because it is done at the lowest speed and weapons, while Speed Down is in the highest tier of power-ups. It's best to attempt in the shooting gallery phase at the beginning of levels. Also, how is the weather in Korea? --- End quote --- I didn't know that, and that sounds ridiculous, like it'd be the thing that only one or two guys would get really good at performing because that's the only way they play. I'm actually back in Japan (Hiroshima) now, I was only in Korea for a week. For the record, Seoul is quite farther north than a lot of Japan, and Seoul was cold. Not freezing arctic cold, but it was much colder than Hiroshima had been. It wasn't unreasonable, but once the wind would pick up it got absolutely brutal. The average high was about 0 Celsius - which isn't that bad - but I went to Fukuoka next were the average high was around 12. That was SO much nicer. Hell, ever Kyoto was pretty nice, yet somehow going back south to Kyoto to Hiroshima made it cold again. What the hell? --- Quote from: Tengukami on February 23, 2011, 11:12:15 AM ---Will anime ever "mainstream" enough in the west to be regarded as a medium on par with film or music, and if so, how? Also, crunchy or smooth? --- End quote --- Never, and I think that's for several reasons. The first is that cartoons (yes, anime is cartoons) are still viewed as something for children. This is actually true for the most part, because nearly all the cartoons that are not for children are aimed at a much older audience and deals with subject matter that is much more patently adult. Essentially, animation in the US seems to either be things like Dora the Explorer for the kids, or shows like Archer or other things on adult swim for the older crowd. The issue that arises from this is that none of these shows focus around high schoolers, a prime plot point for anime. So from the very beginning we have a conflict of interest. There are several other things I could elaborate on when I'm not so tired, like anime series lasting only one season instead of eight like American shows. Please remind me in a day or two. Also, creamy is where it's at. My sandwiches these days consist of only peanut butter between the bread.

It's a deceptively simple cream derived from machine oil, but nothing's better for curing metal fatigue! |
