  1. The 1980's. Almost all of my favorite comic books and artists emerge from the 80's Richard Sala, Love and Rockets, Flaming Carrot, Cerebus, Watchman, V Vendetta and the Dark Knight Returns. The late 90's was a wasteland. The only thing that I collected was Preacher and Hellblazer.

  2. actually, the guys who are doing Oblivion are also working on Fallout 3!

    uh i heard a long time ago from that game, rumours about someone others making or such thing. but if they do it and dont bitch the other fallouts essence up, im really looking forward to it! (altough i would be more glad if troika would do it- they are the formal developers of fallout 1 n 2 and they are in bankruptcy...altough they develpoded other fine titles as well like vampire 2, arcanum and the temple of elemental evil...

    life is so unfair, the really good games gain credit but no money while shitloads of crap like nfs-like-games are earning themselves to death. im so angry sometimes about this f* world :angry::sad: ...

    (sorry, just several good companys are dead like interplay because of freaking money, n this unpolite ea games becomes a monopole...)

    I also was upset about the demise of interplay. We lost Baldurs Gate and Fall Out. It is great news a new fallout may arrive someday.

     

    Hagrin, can you read Sutterlin? I have german magic diary written in the script.

  3. I was actually wondering if people have been banned here. Hellblazer does require a bit of open mind to read.

    Christian is right about the depression. But, i much prefer it to the rotten tomatoes forums. I have been particularly interested in one poster named fascist hater complete with a red nazi flag that has been seething hatred for a few days.

  4. I actually quite enjoyed the snails but passed on the horse.

     

    Not to be totally off topic but mail order brides are not the worst that can happen to these women. We had a quite problem with a local brothel that was stocked with guest workers from latin america. They come over thinking they are going to work as cleaning ladies or dancers and end up a prostitute. I worked in conjunction with public health so when our std's began to rise we linked it to this bordello.

     

    You are correct they are quite polite to Americans and the Europeans but minorities are often treated differently.

  5. They will not be rude to your face that is for sure.

     

     

    Are you being sarcastic :biggrin:

     

    I dont know about Sendai but Tokyo and Osaka are the biggest bastions of politeness on the planet. To a near-stifling degree.

    I worked for about four years in Japan. It wasn't a brief stay. Osaka and Tokyo are rather different from the area I lived in. I lived in the north. I guess what I am particuarly associating this with is the Japanese attitude toward the Ainu. The Ainu are a native people in Japan that now only live on the island of Hokkaido. They have few job opportunites and access to education. I was quite disgusted with how they were treated. You really would need to see their living conditions and talk with them.
