This post was so dumb it made me register just so I could reply to it.

Obviously, this person is a bigot, woefully uneducated in vidcon history, and desperate for the approval of others. And also thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

Even after having it pointed out to him that BSUAJ was not released on the computer, he continued to defend his position by pointing out that it could have been. After all, this game was. I suppose he has a point there. After all, Halo was released on xbox, and that didn't stop Super Mario Brothers from being released for the NES. Ok, I guess I should concede this point.

Then there's the subtle bigotry of implying that any game with a black character must be a ghetto game. I like how in his argument, he even uses broken English to demonstrate the way ghetto people behave. Then again, now that I think of it, it was Barkley who famously defended his hard foul of 24-year-old Herlander Coimbra in the 1992 Olympics as "a ghetto thing." Of course, I didn't notice any gangster aspects, except maybe for Jordan's fedora, but by his own admission, he only played it a bit, so I think we can let that slide. I guess I'll concede that point as well.

Of course there is the point that he referred to the many baseball influenced aspects of the game. Clearly he's both a sports historian for associating Barkley so clearly with the sport he's most famous for excelling in, and quite deft at picking up on subtle context clues such as the use of baseballs, baseball terms, and many baseball players in the introduction of the game. There's even that scene where Michael Jordan, another famous B-Baller by which I mean Baseballer, tells Hoopz, another common Baseball term, to keep practicing his swing. Genius. Clearly, this guy gave this game alot of scrutiny before he decided he wasn't fond of the setting. Then again, I guess it could be confusing, what with Jordan being a baseball player, and New York being more of a baseball town. Ok, I guess he was right here too.

Then he says that, "The gameplay...was better then any fangame I had ever seen," only to say a few posts later that he loves the gameplay, but it's not better than Crysis. I was going to make hay out of this incongruity, but then it occurred to me that he probably hadn't played Crysis when he made the first post, then he played it in the intervening 11 minutes, and then the only responsible thing to do was to post a caveat to his original statement. Now I feel like an ass for even bringing it up.

And he finishes this post by informing everyone that mentioning it to Barkley or Accolade would probably be a bad idea. After all, they might sue. He's probably right there too. Of course, the fact that it's not for profit, it's all over the internet, including on several reputable commercial video game review sites, and that's already been mentioned doesn't change the fact that they could sue. And if they did, that would suck. So thank you for that.

Now that I think of it, he probably is smarter than everyone else. Also far more open minded.

Cool, a whole post dedicated to me.

Too bad you weren't so smart to know with "best gameplay" I meant for a amateur game. You probably lived somewhere quietly in a pithole with a laptop with slow internet connection, cause if you would have played any really good (official) games, you wouldn't kiss this game's ass so much. Or maybe you would, I dunno.

The fact is that fangames like these can't be at the same level of official games like Halo. It will never be possible.

TimeCrash, it was Top 10 PC Games. Not Top 10 Sega Genesis games. And crap why are you back.
It's parody.

That's what the guys from Chrono Trigger Remake Project said, and look what happened.

This project bears the name from the official games and uses a real life character used in that official game. If Barkley or Accolade found out, this project could easily demanded to be destroyed, or even worse, the creators could get sued.

I'm not sayin this is gonna happen, I'm just saying it's a possibility.

Oh yeah, btw, I'm like a boomerang. I'm often gone for a long time, but I'll always come back.

If this game can do it... I don't see why not. I agree this game is far better then the original, but still.

Also, I guess I didn't want to believe it was true. To be honest, I'm getting a little jealous :P

Oh yeah, I see... Gamefaqs is messed up... Kudos to your game, I really love the gameplay, but to say it's better then Crysis... I wouldn't go that far.

Holy shit

http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/

Top 10 Games
    * 01 World of Warcraft
    * 02 Maple Story
    * 03 Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
    * 04 Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
    * 05 Neverwinter Nights 2
    * 06 COD4: Modern Warfare
    * 07 Ragnarok Online
    * 08 GTA: San Andreas
    * 09 Barkley, Shut Up and Jam
    * 10 Crysis

You do realize that entry refers to the official game, and not this one, right?

Anyway... I played a bit of this... And I'm not so fond of the setting. I hate that whole ghetto "gangsta fo life" thing, and I've never been much of a baseball player. The gameplay however, was better then any fangame I had ever seen. Seriously, those battles, the movements, the reaction thing, really, and this all with Gamemaker. Awesome, that's all I can say. Now the only thing I'd wish for is this gameplay implemented in a classic "Alex goes out to save the world" RPG.

Oh yeah, I think you should refrain from trying to let the actual Charles Barkley know about this. Publicity is nice, but can also be dangerous. The copyrights for using his character don't belong to you.

For flaming me I feel a need to reply to your post yet again. If you sound like that, that's fine, but like I mentioned before that's not how anime's supposed to sound.

Please do make sure you compare the voices. I'm sure you'll find the japanese better. Although maybe not, since you're american yourself.

Anyway this channel is darn shame. Everone who watches a anime for the first time on this channel immediately gets a bad impression because of the fucked voices. Really a shame. And if you think the voices are good, you are an idiot

This was my opinion about this show airing on your channel, wich was the point of this thread. It can't be helped if people are going to reply on it and take it seriously. I expressed my opinion in this post, although I admit I gone a bit too far with "And if you think the voices are good, you are an idiot", but giving me 2 warnings for this is a bit out of order, since I was not the one who started this thing.

Well like I said this discussion is over. You can go on discussing the english Death Note dub now.

It's not about the animation or about how nice it looks. It's about a story the creator is trying to tell you.

Naruto.

Oh goddamm more fillers oh plix no no fillers plix. Jeez, stfu. What Naruto is about is a kid that was cursed with a demon inside him and have no friends. Until he finally finds someone to bind with, someone that feels like a brother too him. But that boy has his own goals and even though he has to leave his best friend, he has to live up to it. The other boy is now on a lifelong journey to restore the only real bond he ever had.

Chrono Crusade.

Www.wikipedia.com for a story summar, this anime can't be explained in few words. But I'll tell you that I cried at the ending, just because it was so beautiful and emotional. I never cried when watching a cartoon.


Cartoons are just pieces of entertainment with the only goal to make people laugh. Sure South Park and Family Guy are funny as hell, but that can't be compared to anime because anime is not about humor and cartoons are.

Cartoons have no depth. It's just plain entertainment wich is probably not a bad thing. There's no story in it and every episode is full of random happenings. This is the exact opposite to anime.

Anime is great because the main characters live up to their dreams and because it's shown so beautifully. Anime is great because it makes you laugh and cry.

Watch this episode and maybe you'll know what I mean. Even people new to anime but with a bit of fantasy will love this episode. It can't be described, you just have to watch it.

I can see you know absolutely nothing about anime.

First off to rule out your first issue:

English dub Death Note episode 8 (wow even the link to the website of your disastrous channel is on there)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=omaw6ormRF8

And you can download the japanese episodes here:

www.deathfan.com

Secondly,

Yes I am very very lazy. Good job, you've just proven I would absolutely suck as a anime voice actor. In which you're right, because I'm dutch. So unless they'll ever make a dutch dub, I won't be chosen for that. Also I never said voice actors are lazy, I said they have no feeling for what anime really means.

Thirdly, anime is so awesome because it's japanese, but guys like you will never understand it. A guy like you that compares anime to cartoons is 1000 years too early to discuss anime with me.

Goodbye.

PS: Sorry but I had to post this rofl idiot quote from the english dub.

Yagami Souchiro discussing the cameras with L:

"And make sure you install them everywhere. I dont want any blind spots in the house and that includes the bathroom."

L (on a tone that almost sounds perverted): "Thank you very much, that was my intention."

Seriously! Are we discussing a murderer case here or a porn movie? Damn.

Dang this is the most pompous shit ever.  I'm all for listening to the Japanese voices when it's an option, and that's what I prefer, but that doesn't mean I go "AND IF YOU PREFER THE ENGLISH VOICES YOU ARE WRONG". 

The beauty of animation is that you CAN change the voices.  Look at the Lion King--you can watch it in almost any language and it's just as good.  Even though there are several series that do have terrible English voice acting, it is just plain stupid to say that anime is ONLY good with English voices.

Dude its just that those english bitches who do the voices

1. Have no idea what anime is all about and somehow manage to destroy the entire feeling of the series
2. They read everything up from a paper. At least the Japanese voice actors say everything out of the head.

@ The guy above me: Chek your ears plix

Edit: Quote episode 5 english dub by L: Mister Matsuda its okay to turn on your phone right now actually please turn it on right away. This is exactly what I fucking mean. Theres no feeling in it, it's just toneless without even just commas. They sound like a bitch commanding their sex slaves. Go listen to it and compare it to the japanese voices and you know Im right. L's english voice is WAY too heavy he's supposed to sound like a weirdo and he sounds like a married guy. Als Ryuk's voice, that's just way too "demonic" and heavy again. Ryuk had a pretty high voice. Light. Light sounds like a total nerd and again talks without any feeling at all. "I am the son of superintendent Yagami I dont want them to say he went in the hospital and criminals stopped dying oh yeah by the way I am a bitch". No really, I actually though he was gonna say that.

I could go on for hours but people who've seen the english voices before the japanese will never get my point.

The voices are good... and if you think they aren't, you are a fotm purist japfag and you aren't allowed to have opinions.

Its anime (=japanese drawn series) it's only good with the original japanese voices, I listened to the english L voices and goddammit thats just gay. He sounds like a 50 year old bitch while actually hes supposed to be like 20 or something.

If you like anime with english voices and dislike anime with japanese voices, you're not an anime fan, go fuck yourself.

Wow can't believe I never noticed this topic before.

I guess I'll give my opinion, this was one of the episodes that gave me the Naruto feeling again. When Naruto, Sai, and Sakura were arguing about Sasuke, that was just amazing. Sai is an asshole and the meeting on the bridge will probably be covered in 2 episodes. Manga readers should know that episode shall be legendary.
