Graphical calculators? Bah! In my heyday, I just scribbled notes onto my pencil case or stuff bits of paper down the transparent tubes of my pens.

I almost never meditate when playing against a human opponent. I've seen some match vids, apparently Meditate is really helpful. I know. Ukyo is deadly when enlightened. I take back what I say about him sucking. It's just that my matchups using Ukyo consists of mainly standing/crouching As and Bs, which do not knockdown and thus depriving a safe opportunity for meditating.

Thank the gambling gods! I betted on a draw.

By those extreme right wing types, yes. But in general, you don't get outright discriminated against by the general public, but once they find out you're not one of them (I'm of Oriental descent, so appearance wise, I blend in quite nicely), they'll give a different vibe. It's worse for gaijin who outright stand out from the crowd.

i-ie, nihhonjin dewa arimasen. But I've worked in Japan for a short while some time ago. And you pretty much are on the mark regarding their baby making activities.

You're partly right. They love not just the wrestlers, but celebrities in general. And no, even Japanese Americans aren't looked on too favourably either (they're considered traitors by some of those right-wing nutcases).

If you're still schooling, you don't want to be in Japan. They have a super high-stress educational system because exam results play a big part in determining a person's social status so most people spend time teen years buried in books. Japanese politics isn't that clean either. Corruption is also rampant, and the LDP (Koizumi's party) pretty much dominate the polls every election. And finally, Japanese society is largely homogenous, they don't take too well too foreigners (gaijins) on their soil. Sorry to burst your bubble, son.

Trust me, you really don't want to be born in Japan. Normal Japanese life isn't how it's potrayed by their pop culture.

What are you talking abt? SSV special hasn't even been dumped yet.

Anyone here but me having problems accessing the new and "improved" Yahoo mail? All I get after login is a blank page.

I hope they are not upping disk space while lowering stability. Just tried to access my mailbox but couldn't log in

Avoid using IE if you can.

I dont know abt foreign releases, but in China you can get just about anything, illegally or otherwise.

Nipponese have very a different idea of what a hunk should look like compared to the west. Just look at any picture of a Japanese pop/TV idol like Takeshi Kaneshiro to see what I mean.

I couldn't tell the diff. Looks the same to me.

Got a link to the pix?

Dunno i just don't like him. He reminds me of benimaru. eeecch Character design wise, he's a little...odd. But his gameplay is just too good. So good that he's banned from many tournaments to level the playing field.

Even without the infinite Duo Lon is still tops. High priority normal moves, safe ticking moves etc.

naah, if you want to see true poetry in motion, play with K or Kyo!! Terry is a bit on the slow side (Don't get me wrong - i think he's a cool character, but def not the best out there) K/Kyo?? Hardly a match for Duo Lon in 2K3. He is top tier in 2k3, buddy.
