[b][font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Old thread, locking. Zesty please check the dates on recruitment threads before you post in them. -Gavin.[/size][/font][/b]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Jerb interview tomorrow.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Poor Shin, we rather rudely cut off the end of his review. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Indeed, I was kind of hoping we'd see the Reigai try a little psychological manipulation again, have Reigai-Rukia bring up memories of say the Soul Society Rescue Arc to try to convince Ichigo they're just as real as their original counterparts before attacking or something like that. Even have Ichigo pause and think even if she's a fake he finds it hard to raise his sword to Rukia (or any of his friends). The whole thing was disappointingly quick. As for Kon, meh, give him a Nemu-style gigai and watch him become a badass. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Heh I know what you mean, right now I'm not even sure who to guess it might be. As for the Fullbringers, I'm still not sure how to gauge them. Their powers are very different to anything we've seen so far, and training is naturally different to actual combat. I do think under the right circumstances they could probably be a very credible threat, but most Captain class Shinigami would beat them one-on-one. I hate to say it but the fact Chad is a central member makes my opinion of their collective power dip a bit, unless of course Chad has been taking night classes in Hueco Mundo. Orihime I really don't care about, "yay she's less useless!" I suppose might sum things up. The fact she can counter-attack now is an improvement so she's less of a load but I suspect she'll find herself firmly back in the damsel in distress role before too long.[/size][/font]

[quote name='Kei' timestamp='1306445224' post='707608'][font="Tahoma"][color="#000080"]Gavin: Sad to see you drop out, but the matchups have already been figured taking you dropping into account, so no big deal. Hope to see you in the Spring 2 tournament.[/color][/font] [/quote] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"] Heh, good to know Kei, I said it was a longshot that I'd be ready back on the 14th anyway so I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't throwing off the numbers. Good luck to everyone involved, I'll be following this one for sure.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Sorry guys, going to have to pull out too. Just haven't had any spare time to get my team together and trained in the last few weeks because of IRL stuff. I'll try and work on them over the next while so that maybe in the future if this is still going I can participate. [/size][/font]

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1306265685' post='707580'] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"][s]HAPPY PAGE 400 ERR'BODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY[/s] lol nvm[/font][/color] [/quote] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]This appears factually correct, why lol nvm ?[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Maybe, I put it down to the fact they still can't sense the difference between the real deal and a reigai so maybe they just let their guards down because they had beaten their copies and thought Rukia to have done the same. Intelligence, as you and I have often lamented, seems to be in short supply in Soul Society when plot dictates. Plot seemed to thicken quite a bit this week, I quite liked the idea of unknown passages between worlds existing previously to the Shinigami-created senkaimon. Guessing Kagerosa or whatever his name is, is a reigai like the rest, maybe one of Aizen's earlier creations.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Attempted the 3 hour Nyan Cat video, gave up after 15 minutes when I started to lose cognitive function.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]So I've just got on to disc 2 and I don't think I'm ever going to get used to the interrogation system. I'll have 90 or 100% of the case worked out based on the evidence already but apparently Cole Phelps is a far dumber man than I am and needs to go through individual questions while providing people with individual bits of evidence as to prove they're lying or just guilty. The fact that you can't re-question people unless you're specifically referring to new topics or just get an initial statement off them which you can later pick apart based on the evidence is a source of constant irritation. The cases themselves are pretty interesting, just started my second Homicide one but I just can't seem to warm to this one. RDR felt a much better game by comparison.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]I'd completely forgot to read any manga this week until I saw you'd posted here. Vaguely interesting chapter, Riruka is her usual loathsome, boring and predictable self. I have to say Inoue earned the slightest of props from me this week for effectively "***** please"-ing her. Of course given Ichigo will end up with Rukia, I suppose the two of them can snipe at eachother all they like. Bit more Urahara, Isshin and whoever the Shinigami is would've been nice but I suppose I can wait till next week.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Interesting chapter this week, I'm looking forward to seeing where Kishi goes with this (crickey how long has it been since I could say that). Naruto using the Talk-no-Jutsu against the Kyuubi and having it prove even somewhat effective looks like it'll stir things also.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]We've known for a while she's seated-officer strength but that Byakuya has kept her from ever been promoted (curious how he can do that outside of his own squad), based on her fights in Hueco Mundo, I'd be happy to put her around lieutenant level, so her Reigai which is supposed to be stronger than her taking out two other Lts in a surprise attack isn't completely beyond the realm of possibility.

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Let him work on making his current shows funnier before he goes mutilating my childhood.[/size][/font]

[quote name='Shinmaru' timestamp='1305645505' post='707416'] The perfect answer to the swearing question would have been "**** no". [/quote] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Heh, you have no idea how tempted I was to give that answer.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Heh, we sound really tired towards the end of the podcast. We need teh Boo to bring energy back to the Podcast with his Dutchness.[/size][/font]
