Did you guys see they're making another season of TLR?

Eric

@LoganM TLR?

Logan M

@Eric To Love-Ru

Eric

Nope, didn't know that. When's it start?

Logan M

No idea. They're announcing more details April 4, but until then all they've announced is that it's been green-lit.

Eric

00:24

@LoganM I wouldn't have expected one so soon. Was S2 really successful?

Logan M

@Eric The last one was S3. And it was pretty successful, but it didn't really do any of the story of Darkness. I sort of expected that they'd either continue the run past 12 episodes or quickly announce another season.

Eric

I guess the latter came true, then. :P

Logan M

The show is funny for me because every season seems to double the amount of fanservice per episode. I don't know how long they can keep that up before the backgrounds are just filled with naked females.

Eric

@LoganM Most fans would still watch it. Perhaps more than just them.

Logan M

00:50

I'm going to head home for the night. See you tomorrow.

Eric

Good night. Sleep tight.

Q: Do otaku tend to be bullied?

Otaku in Japan are somehow equivalent to being geek, meaning they are tend to be bullied or looked down upon. That's why some don't admit that they are otaku because of shame. And there are certain cases of otaku becoming a hikikomori, wherein they isolate themselves or withdraw themselves from s...

culture

anyone think it's salvageable?

I'd say it's off topic in terms of the site as it is now

JNat

hey

@Krazer agree

Washu

@Krazer i think that is off topic too

Krazer

@JNat você acha que pode salvar essa pergunta?

JNat

@Krazer não. Acho que não dá para salvar de maneira nenhuma

Washu

:O Brazil

JNat

15:40

@Washu noooooooo

Portugal

Washu

Portugal?

Ohhh ok that's good

JNat

why do people always say Brazil?

Washu

i was about to say "HUEHUEHEUHEUEHUE"

JNat

XD

Washu

It is because we are scared

JNat

15:41

@Washu scared of what?

Washu

Having a Brazilian can be quite funny or quite complicated..

Do you play Dota or LoL?

Or HoN?

JNat

@Washu I do not

@Washu That I don't even know what is lol

Krazer

what does being Brazilian have to do with any of that?

Washu

@JNat well most of people that play those games are afraid of Brazilians cause they have the worst decisions ever...

JNat

@Washu hm ok

Krazer

15:42

@JNat they are all games

Washu

Dota (Defense of the Ancients) is a strategy game were a group of Heroes that have special abilities try to destroy the enemy base.

JNat

@Krazer I just don't know which game the last one is

Washu

You know that in a strategy game you need a supporter,healer,killer,tank or defense

JNat

HoN

@Washu yeah yeah

Washu

However.... for Brazilians the only job that you can do is a killer

Krazer

15:43

@JNat heroes of newerth

Washu

and they do it wrong....

JNat

@Washu lol

@Krazer I don't know it

Washu

I'm scared i haven't won any game in a public matchmaking with brazilians

Krazer

@JNat neither do I

Washu

When i play with my brazilian friends i do but with unknown brazilians... i just cry at the beginning ._.

JNat

15:43

@Krazer I've been playing the new Tomb Raider

Krazer

JNat

@Krazer your backlog

Krazer

@JNat Monster Hunter 3

JNat

@Krazer looks good

Krazer

15:58

Watch Dogs looks good, too.

they posted a ARG video recently

►

they guys here are working on it

JNat

@Krazer wait, I didn't get it. what are they working on?

Krazer

This is a ARG made to promote the game Watch Dogs virally, before they release it

clues are hidden within the video

JNat

ah, I see

there was something similar with NIN's Year Zero

Krazer

usually there is some short of prize for ppl at the end

there's usually alot of red herring so it require a bit of patience and luck

I'm aware of the source.

Madara Uchiha

One of the classics, I was there at that conversation :D

(The original that is)

Krazer

18:22

It's cool that they did this:

chartjs.org

Krazer

18:36

Only 139.99 for 4TBs!

amazon.com/gp/product/B00829THLE

Mysticial

Ooh... 140...

Eric

Tempting...

Mysticial

Too bad I'm not in need of HDs right now. :(

Eric

You could buy it for me! :D

Mysticial

I'd prefer internal ones though. Then I can put two of them in a single enclosure for Anime.

JNat

19:02

@Krazer is seagate a good brand for hdd's?

Mysticial

@JNat That doesn't really matter. No single company stays "good" or "bad" for more than a few years at a time.

10 years ago. Seagate has the most reliable drives. Then about 5 years ago, they were of complete crap quality. Not they might be coming back up.

JNat

@Mysticial I see

I usually buy WD

are they good right now?

Mysticial

@JNat Middle to low probably. Most of the drives I have that died in the last 3 years are Seagate. (half my drives are Seagates) But all but one of those drives are more than 3 years old.

Krazer

@JNat That's a difficult question to answer, kinda like me recommending what you should order at a restaurant, without knowing what you like.

JNat

@Krazer how so? is WD better at some particular thing, like speed or whatever?

@Mysticial than which brand would you say is high right now?

Mysticial

19:07

14/14 of my Hitachi drives are still in good condition after almost 4 years now.

But Hitachi IIRC, got eaten by WD.

Krazer

@JNat good quality is subjective, if you don't have something to compare it upon

Mysticial

I have 5 WD drives. But they're mostly young. So I can't say whether they're good reliable or not.

JNat

@Krazer I see

Mysticial

Speed is mostly irrelevant unless you're booting from it.

JNat

I have a WD drive for 5 years now, and it's still up and running

Krazer

19:09

I don't really like the LaCie drives

JNat

@Krazer I don't even know that brand lol

Krazer

@JNat lacie.com/pt/index.htm

the drives are okay, but some of them have poor components that tend to breakdown

JNat

@Krazer was about to ask you why XD

Krazer

19:26

@JNat Krazer used Clairvoyant! It's super effective!

JNat

@Krazer XD

JNat is paralyzed! It can't move!

JNat

19:44

@MadaraUchiha and @LoganM are gonna earn a Fanatic badge tomorrow!

Krazer

yay~ pre-grats

I've found that Media Player Classic - Home Cinema to be one of the better open source players for animu.

what do you guys think?

Madara Uchiha

19:58

@Krazer What makes it better than say, VLC?

@JNat Why yes, yes we are.

JNat

@Krazer yeah, this^^

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha MPC-HC supports all the formats VLC does and a bit more... as a matter of fact I don't think there's anything it cannot play and with the addition of LAV you can get HD Audio, too. MPC-HC allows you to choose which fliters/renderers to use, i.e. LAV filters, MadVR, etc. VLC, I believe is self contained, uses it's own internal versions and can't be customized.

JNat

20:16

@Krazer and what are LAV filters and MadVR?

Krazer

20:35

> LAV filters are a set of open-source DirectShow filters, aimed to eventually replace the better part of the playback chain required to play all and any modern media

JNat

@Krazer I see

Krazer

@JNat MadVR is a high quality, GPU assisted, video renderer.

A video renderer combines (as in mixes) different raw video streams, asks the GPU to perform video post processing tasks like deinterlacing, color control, scaling, noise reduction, etc, and also schedules presentation.

JNat

@Krazer so the video comes out with better quality, basically?

Krazer

@JNat I wouldn't say better, but rather more efficiently

For lower resolution video (e.g. 480i) the difference is very noticeable. It's not as noticeable with good HD source material, as they are often very forgiving of poor calibration and poor rendering.

JNat

@Krazer I see

Eric

21:10

@Krazer What anime is that GIF from?

Krazer

@Eric Gintama, 5th season

Eric

Cool. :D

It looks fun.

Krazer

21:32

there's a lot of crazy and silly story arcs, but also serious ones, too.

like with Sket-dan

Eric

21:47

Whozat?

Krazer

22:56

Sket Dance

is a manga series written and illustrated by Kenta Shinohara and serialized, beginning in July 2007, in Shueisha's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. Sket Dance won the 55th annual Shogakukan Manga Award in 2009 for best shōnen manga. An anime adaptation, produced by Tatsunoko, premiered on April 7, 2011 on TV Tokyo. Plot The manga focuses on the (mis)adventures of Kaimei High School's campus support club, the Sket Dan (Katakana: "スケット・ダン"; Kanji: "助人団"; Transliteration: "Suketto Dan"; Translation: "Helper's Club"; included English acronym: "SKET (Support, Kindness, Encouragem...

Eric

@Krazer It's a crossover with Gintama?

Krazer

23:31

@Eric They did a crossover with one another, like Toriko and One Piece did:

Eric

@Krazer Those two look so weird together!

Krazer

For Sket Dance, the Gintama crews join in Epi 26

For Gin-tama, Sket-dan appears in Epi 227 I believe

OP, Toriko, and DBZ had an animated crossover special: animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-02-05/…

Logan M

23:46

I'm trying to come up with a canon/Kanon pun for @Krazer's question, but it's hard.

Eric

@LoganM Got all the pieces, but no way to put them together? :P

Krazer

xD!

Logan M

@Eric I already wrote the whole answer before I realized the two were homophones. Now I'm searching for some way to make a pun that is simultaneously a) not totally lame, b) fits with the flow of what I've already written, and c) is actually slightly funny.

Eric

Aren't (a) and (c) the same thing?

Logan M

I'm not sure about that. There are puns which are deliberately lame enough that I find them funny. But that's not what I'm going for.

Eric

23:51

@LoganM Like holding up a drill and saying "screw you"?

Logan M

@Eric Yes, that would be a good example.

Eric

Also, this:

(Not a pun. But disturbing.)

Logan M

Kizumonogatari's 1st trailer is one of the strangest ones I've seen:

@LoganM What the fuck? lol
