Why are all the evil guys the only hot ones?

Don't like anime, but love video games, especially the FF series. My fav is FF7 because it has the best plot, and it really gets you attached to the characters.

Especially FFX that story line was so predictable. I really bugs me when I know what's going to happen before it happens, and th reason for the characters to be going to their adventure was REALLY dumb. At least in FF7 there was a great reason for the adventure, and the plot twists were amazing.

I'm not really into video games anymore and the only anime I like is Neon Genesis Evangelion and some Miyazaki stuff. As far as videogame stories go...they tend to be bad...often very bad. This is why videogames should not be movies.

I'm not crushing on anybody but these are my top anime/video game pics

Video Games
Splinter Cell (series)
RollerCoaster Tycoon (series up until 2; everything past RCT2 was dissapointing)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Metroid (especially Prime, and Echoes)
Zelda

Anime
Gundam (the entire franchise; but I will say that 08TH MS TEAM ROCKS particularly hard!!!)
Ruroni Kenshin
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
InuYasha (ehh, I used to watch it when it was on right after Gundam SEED (well before that moved) but now it's on too late)

Samus from Metroid. Probably for the same reason why I loved Wonder Woman and The Bionic Woman when I was growing up; There's something about women that can jump over 50 feet that gives me special feelings. :D

I have a question:

I've been playing Splinter Cell on PS2 and am stuck on the second level after training (think it's titled Defense Bureau or something like that).

I've gotten to a certain point in that stage and am down to 7 bullets, and i'm now faced with several guys with automatic weapons... i do not have nearly enough bullets to take them out.

is there a "cheat" i can employ to get more (or unlimited) bullets?

Is it the one with the guards and the machine gun, and then the door that has like 20 people inside of it?

Sorry for the spolier for those who just bought the game, just asking if thats the level.

I like strategy video games. The Civilization series, Starcraft and Brood War, the Warcraft games, the Total War series and Galactic Civilizations (a great game for capitalists ;) ), are among my favorites. I also like RPGs. Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights really stand out there. I enjoy the occasional standard console game. These include, Halo, Halo 2, Star Wars: Battle Fronts, the Rouge Squadron series and the Zelda games.

As for anime, I wouldn’t buy any of the DVDs but I watch the stuff that they have on Cart0on Network at night. It’s pretty good. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Ruroni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champloo and Full Metal Alchemist are my favorites.

As for “loving” what is essentially an inanimate product of someone else’s imagination, can’t say that I do.

They're great, but AS and Toonami are becoming really messed up as of late tho....a lot of the good anime got pulled (Bebop, Kenshin, Gundam SEED's timeslot was moved), and some of the new stuff doesn't seem to cut it (not so big on One Piece or Paranoia Agent...). Then again I'm a Gundam junkie who's just begging to see anything MSG uncut (I know 0083 was on one of the 1st AS lineups, but I didn't know of it at the time)

... i don't think that i have every been in love with a character from a video game or anime. But i think that Irvine from FF8 would be the cutest video game character ever. FF8 the best of the final fantasy games, imo. FF7 cloud, aeris, etc. were just annoying.

my favorite animes are trigun, fruits basket, rahxephon, FLCL, and cowboy bebop.

WHAT???? I don't know what you found annoying about them, because I thought they were like real people! (ok, barret and cid did swear everyother word, but that just added to the funnyness :D) FF8 also was weird, there were too many coincidences that just didn't make sence in the grand scheme of things, that I thought could have been improved.

Yeah, do you notice that in the 90's we bitched about all the stuff on Toonami but now we're beggin for it.

Seriously DBZ just disgraced itself with all these new ones they're putting up. And I have to say, wth is one piece about, freakin pirates and whatnot...

I may just send in an E-Mail to whoever the hell runs all the programs and voice for the older viewers who want to see the old-school stuff back on.

btw, was 0083 that gundam one where at the end of the series theres a dude and girl inside a cave and the dudes leg was blown off? Just wondering, because that was an awsome series in my opinion.

the reason that i probably found them annoying is that the game is so plot driven. there isn't as much emphasis on fighting over story as much as older ff games. ff8 was the same way, and i was annoyed then. but ff10 was by far the worst in doing this.

Oh this is about "crushes" or "hot characters"

Damn if we were going sheer amounts of bad ass: Vicious, Sesshomaru, Sephiroth, and others (and Vicious, he is doubly bad ass, "You shall bleed tears of scarlett")

Tifa from FF7 is good, and Samus gets bad ass and hotness, double score, its the triple points for being a bounty hunter babe

I don't see why Toonami isn't trying to re-license any gundam series, they were all kick-ass.

Man, why did all the great toons have to happen BEFORE I learned how to tape things and convert them to DVD's!

They should also get rid of that Miguzi crap, I mean seriously, are the newer generation kids into such poor animations like Code Lyoko or whatever its spelled. CN should bring toonami back to 5 PM and re-instate some of the classics like Gundam Wing...and bring back those toonami interlude movies, those were awsome.

How were they rewritten? I know they edited out a lot of the more graphic scenes, but did they actually change the stories?

In the original Japanese story, Shio was assumed dead and so was Anya. but one change in the American Verson is that Shiro was declared a traitor and he was to be arrested on site. (in a scene that was suppose to be without words)

this was done because there was a special released later. where his team goes out to search for him. There they encounter a strange group of people (whom only the Hard Core Gundam fans would reconize) and find the tie between Shio, Anya and these survivors of the war.

Also (now this is second hand info so it might be wrong.) the American version tried to make the Zions totally evil with a couple of exceptions. when it's actually the other way around. Never saw the American version so I really can't say if that's true or not. but most of the Zions were actually noble and honerable. people you would sit with in a bar and share a round with.

Gundam isn't about the Mecha but the war and how they affect the people involved. But the American version tend to focus on the Mecha and gloss over the true story... that being the people.

Gundam is infamous for its ambiguity in who is "good" and "evil" - makes my head spin at times. In fact I'm actually a quasi-sympathizer with Zeon and its original ideology (soveriegnty, etc). Argh, the only reason I'd ever stick w/the Feddies is 'coz they have Gundams :D

Gundam X - alternate story where it takes place after a successful Satellite drop.
Premise sounds interesting - I've seen schematics of the Gundam X, and while the Satellite cannon would probably devastae big-time, why not just fire the satellite at the target instead of having the Gundam middleman?

Then again that would just be the same thing as superlaser-equipped colonies (Solar System II it was called?)

True... but the Gundam X had Mobile Bit Fighters... Mobile Suites piloted by the New types power. so one Gundam X had a Support fleet of 12 other mobile suits... each with the Satellite Gun... and the Earth government made the Double X... a Mobile suit that has Two Satellite Guns.

Awsome series... only pity was that it ended when they introduced Paula. the running gag was that Garoad's head always ended up against her...

ahem...

and she piloted the Gun Phoenix. a support vehicle that combines with any Gundam type unit.
