I played FFI on the old NES when it first came out and loved it, and have played every one but 4 & 6 (they're on my list, but I need to load a PSX emulator first) Favorite: FFX. The pure genius of Nobuo Uematsu's score and the story. I still am amazed at how different the opening scene around...

I still enjoyed FF up to X-2, and even XII & XIII, though the stories in those were very sadly lacking compared to earlier iterations. I think one of the problems is the attempt to broaden the appeal of the JRPG genre, and by doing that they ruin what made it so good in the first place. The...

Frankly, I'd buy a small switch and some outdoor-grade CAT-6 cable. Weather won't bother the cable much, if you think about it. Your cable TV, phone and electrical lines come in from the outside. If the cable is designed for outdoor use, it should be fine. Use the switch for the multiple...

Thank you for the quick post!

1)I have a Mac 2) I know how to avoid malware I've been online at home for over 20 years. Never had an infected machine. When they start attacking UNIX in the same way they attack Windows, then I may run something. Until then, the less processes running on my machine, the better.

Awesome! Thank you so much. I rewatched the first season, then discovered it was gone, and am now going through Belldandy withdrawl...

Wow. Congratulations on that. While many here are saying they can speak Japanese, N1 goes well beyond just everyday speech and into true fluency. I started with very basic group lessons given through a university extension program (think a community center). From there, my wife and I took some...

Grave of the Fireflies, for sure. One of the finest Ghibli films, and definitely the saddest. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0...the last 2-3 episodes. Even more poignant now. Haibane Renmei. Didn't cry in Fruits Basket, though my wife did. A lot.

I very much enjoyed the first season. Never got around to watching the second season, though I don't remember why. Probably got too busy with other things. But it's a touching anime with some nice characters. Slow? Yes. Worth it? I think so.

Do yon-koma count? If so, Hidamari Sketch Azumanga Daioh (still my favorite after all these years)

DDL is more reliable for me. I agree with earlier posters that I hate, hate, HATE when a torrent sticks at 99%. I've used a number of premium DDL sites for years and loved them. I'm also ancient enough to still use USENET, which is still my preferred DL method, but it wasn't included in the...

Second season + Tatakau Tsubasa specials? My backup drive failed hard a month ago, and I'm finding more and more things I thought I had in more than one place are gone :( Cheers!

2 Maine Coons, Aya and Kuma. I'd post pics, but the board doesn't seem to like my jpgs....

My wife and I have been together over 21 years. No kids. We never wanted to have any, and still don't. We love visiting our little niece and nephews, but also love going home at the end of the day. Couple that with two careers that keep us away from home a lot, and it wouldn't be fair to the kids.
