[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Rose is voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard, who also does Riza, whereas Winry is voiced by Caitlin Glass. [I made the same mistake too, once upon a time, don't worry. XP] And as for the spoiler in question, I'm going to guesstimate that it happens in either the next episode, or the one that follows. [Those who have seen it can correct me on that.] And while I completely understand your reasoning behind that, I wouldn't drop it because of that. [spoiler]Nina/Alexander's death[/spoiler] is a very vital event for Ed and Al, one that's really important for them to develop and grow as characters. If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure [spoiler]no more animals are killed in Brotherhood/the manga[/spoiler], but again, those that have been keeping track of both can correct me on that.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]That would depend on what brand/model laptop you have, I'm assuming.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Oh, oops. The fan. You could also attempt to take the lappy apart and clean it manually, but I'd suggest finding someone that knows what they're doing for that. [Unless [I]you[/I] know what you're doing, of course.][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']I'm trying to watch some more Nostalgia Critic videos, but his videos seem to make my laptop overheat and shut down...:animeangr[/QUOTE] [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]The video hosting used is kinda insane [though it's not necessarily his fault, his hosting before that was...I dunno, and before [I]that[/I] he was on Youtube, and as you could probably surmise, the copyright fairy came around...]. I typically have to put it on low quality so it doesn't buffer/lag like crazy, and closing out of other tabs/programs sometimes helps, too. Although if mere videos are causing your lappy to overheat and shut down, then you might wanna get yourself a nice can of air and blow the dust out. Blasting clumps of dust out works wonders. :catgirl: [/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Stephanie'][size=1]I hate being afraid to stand up to people. I hate being ashamed and I hate hating myself to the point where I don't feel like I'm allowed to. I need a punching bag.[/size][/QUOTE] [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Ugh, I know how you feel. Indeed, hugs are in order. *hugs*[/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='chibi-master']Does anyone know a good place to pre order Heart Gold and Soul Silver?:confused:[/QUOTE] [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Err, GameStop? That's where I preordered HeartGold last week.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]People are funny sometimes. And I don't mean in the funny ha ha sense, either.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]I just went ahead and merged my old thread with the main FMA thread. I agree with the both of you on some stuff -- I found the dub very well done from the get-go, though that's probably due to the fact that most everyone's already familiar with their roles, and are able to by and large avoid the awkwardness dubs usually get early on. Of course, it's not mind-blowingly amazing [I]yet[/I], since we've not even scratched the surface with the story. Gotta give it time still. I also agree with Maxey Whitehead's performance as Alphonse -- you can still tell it's female, but not overbearingly so. She sounds very similar to Aaron Dismuke's Alphonse, so I'm pretty impressed. Definitely looking forward to hearing more of her role. As for the animation, yeah, I definitely gotta hand it to the original anime. While Arakawa has a distinct style that's replicated pretty faithfully right now, the original just had really lush, colorful animation that really stood out to me. Brotherhood almost looks...washed out, I guess, in comparison? That's the only thing I can think of to describe it. The animation isn't [I]bad[/I], not by a long shot, but I just find the first series more appealing in the visual department. I'll probably get used to Brotherhood's animation in due time, though. But yeah, I'm so glad I held out for this. :catgirl: [spoiler]I'm still totally calling for Aaron Dismuke to be Ling. >>[/spoiler][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]I spent most of the day watching the Nostalgia Critic's videos. It was lovely.

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]I'd love to actually [I]finish[/I] Samurai Champloo, but I'm pretty sure they don't have the rights to air the series anymore [and haven't for awhile...]. Anyway, normally I'd be inclined to agree, however, they've got FMA: Brotherhood on their roster now, and airing at a somewhat feasible time [11 PM/midnight as opposed to, say, 1/1:30 AM] will definitely help it. Not only that, they've actually been airing commercials for it! The last time I remember seeing a commercial for an anime was with Eureka Seven, which was back in, like...06/07. They're even airing the commercials during their Family Guy slots [which is their highest rated show]! So, that's definitely helping to expose it. I dunno. Normally I'd be in the boat of hate for AS, but...I've honestly got some hope renewed for it. We'll just have to see where this takes it.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Recently got hooked on [B]BlazBlue[/B], so I finally decked out my desktop with a wallpaper from the official Japanese Calamity Trigger site.

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]The only LPers I really keep track of are ProtonJon and Loudman01...and even then, they post rather sporadically. ProtonJon's Kaizo Mario LPs are amazing, though I know he's rather tired of people sending him romhacks just so they can see him scream and swear up a storm. Outside of them, though? Retsupurae. Oh my gosh, Retsupurae...the snarkers of bad LPs have lifted up many a dark mood for me. :catgirl: If I had to list all my favorites, though, this post would go on for...like, ever. XD Hehe.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]*facepalms at all the literal game replies* My first game[s] were Mario Paint and Super Mario World.

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Both theO and OB have both been horrifically slow the past several weeks. It likes to fluctuate; sometimes it'll load just fine, and other times it'll take forever to load anything. =/ [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]All the snow we've gotten so far has either happened before classes resumed or over the weekend when classes would be closed anyway, although tonight/tomorrow we're supposed to get some decent accumulation...so hopefully, hopefully, [I]hopefully[/I] campus will be closed. Hopefully. >>;[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]I'm a subversion -- I know full well what's going on...I just...don't really care. :animesmil;; And I'm really trying to put it nicely... Congrats to the winning team, though.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Ick. When did you start going back? I'm in my fourth week [yes, I'm counting] and we had a test at the beginning of the second week. =/ The Nostalgia Critic makes me feel funny inside. :animeshy:[/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='The Mask']And couldn't they have imagined the trauma that this incident had inflicted on the kid for such a simple act that isn't even worthy to be called a crime? She was sent to jail, [I][B]handcuffed[/B][/I], for what? Doodles on the desk?![/QUOTE] [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]I was thinking the exact same thing. Poor girl's gonna be traumatized for life. I know I would be, at least.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Me and my friend watched DB Evolution when it came out on DVD...she loves DBZ, I hate it. Needless to say, we both hated it, but dang. Even [I]I[/I] felt insulted watching that.[/SIZE][/FONT]

The girl says the doodles could have been erased.[/QUOTE] ... I... I just...I... what? What? [I]Seriously[/I]? Kids [I]carved[/I] stuff into desks at my old high school, not to mention I've seen far more profane crap drawn on bathroom stalls, and I don't see anyone getting arrested for those. I'm just speechless right now. I'll let you guys have at it.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Personally, I think if we come across a subject in the PRP that we think can be discussed more in-depth, we should make a thread for it. Then we could have (gasp) topical discussions.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]This. I do love the PRP, 'cause random cracky discussions are always fun, and it's good to have a place to spew off about random crap that doesn't need a thread. But I do agree it's distilling activity a smidge, so...well, basically, what Ace said. Yeah. Edit: Indi also has a good point...I don't really see what's preventing others from making other threads if they really want to. Gah now I'm all torn @_@[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Just giving a friendly announcement to everyone that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is set to air on Adult Swim in a couple of weeks! [URL="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-02-04/adult-swim-to-debut-fullmetal-alchemist/brotherhood"][U]http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-02-04/adult-swim-to-debut-fullmetal-alchemist/brotherhood[/U][/URL] Now I know a lot of people have been watching it subbed online, whether through Funi's simulcast or otherwise, but for someone like me who absolutely loved the dub of the original series, this will be more than worth the wait. So for those of you that waited, happy Valentines Day indeed. And for the others, well, don't spoil![/SIZE][/FONT]
