Image and video hosting by TinyPic

This week:
Monday: 3x23: 'Jrgjverq'
Wednesday: 3x24: 'Gnyvgun Phzv'
Friday: 4x01: 'Ureeraibyx'

Two notes:

1. Please wait until the threads have collapsed to post about 3x23.
2. For those watching ahead, beyond this week, this is about next week's episodes, specifically Monday's. It's somewhat spoilery: Rkgerzr gevttre jneavat. Guvf vf gung rcvfbqr. Gur vasnzbhf bar.

It's probably gone super viral now but I can't stop laughing

So this is pretty neat. A french teenager just became the first woman to be named to an official MLB prospects list. She can hit a 91 mph fastball as a sixteen-year-old and plays great defense at the most defense-needed position on the field.

The number of bullshit arguments I have observed and possibly gotten involved in featuring the Confederate flag over the past 48 hours is too damn high.

So today, June 22 2015, is when the first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion takes place.

On the one hand, I'm glad we don't need the giant robots. On the other hand, where's my giant robot?
Did Mark post anything about Korra reviews? I didn't remember hearing anything, but then when I checked today, they seem to be gone completely from the Master Schedule.

Okay, guys, I've got some news, and I need everyone's opinion here:

I'll be resuming a playthrough that I put on hold since January. The game I'll be (re-)playing through is the Namco Bandai game Tales of the Abyss on the 3DS.



This playthrough will also be covered on my personal tumblr blog, which has the same username as my account here, ocamposmoon, with more details posted there.

As for spoilers, I'll be ciphering them depending on which point I am at in the game. But note that I may also cipher or leave other non-game spoilers unmarked on this thread or on my tumblr blog since I may reference other works for trivia, advertising, or to make some connections to certain points in the game. Also note when I make the first thread here, I might not start at the beginning of the game, and this is where you guys come in:

First, is everyone alright if I continue where I left off or should I start at the beginning? Also, how often would you guys want me to post a thread about my playthrough? Weekly, daily, or periodically? I'll also need some help in taking screencaps of the game. If anyone knows how to take screencaps on a 3DS, please help! You guys can ask other questions as well if you're interested. Sorry for the amount of questions here, since this is my first time doing a playthrough in a while and with an audience, so I'm a bit nervous that it might not go too well.

Another thing I also have in mind is doing a readthrough of Martin the Warrior from the late Brian Jacques' Redwall series unspoiled. If the playthrough doesn't fall through, or if I get lazy or busy offline, I might do this instead.

As for Question(s) of the Week, I'm going to continue this for the rest of the summer on a thread separate from the playthrough.

Feedback is welcome!

For this week on Question(s), I'll be doing three to make up for E3 last week. Anyone can answer either any or all of these questions:

When and how did you stumble upon one of Mark's sites? (This can count for either or both Reads/Watches)

How many of you are familiar with the Tales franchise?

Which Rei do you guys prefer? Ayanami or Ryugazaki?

So, ever since catching up on Adventure Time for the finale, I've been readings some of the comics to fill the void.

So, I'm a regular Guild Wars 2 player, and as most/all of you probably did not know, they released an enormous patch today. Balances, changes, etc., but they also released a new rebuilt map for the main city Lion's Arch, that got destroyed.

Anyway, I bring this all up because I found this while exploring:
