Tried a semi-decent beer and it's actually rather nice! Tastes nothing like arugula juice.

I just bought a game form GameStop online and I left myself a free gift message. It say "Hi me how are you doing today?"
 

If it's free might as well abuse it.

I was going to make it longer and more ridiculous but they only allowed a set amount of words.

edit: next time I order a game it will be "Moo I'm a cow."

May have just exceeded my MegaUpload download limit by clicking the download, letting the countdown run down and then forgetting to actually click download. Over and over again.

Yeah, I think that analogy you made with the whole american vs anime thing is flawed Ragnar.

Americans do all draw in the exact same style by default. (at least they used to... in the 80's) Do americans even draw anything themselves anymore? I just assumed all those jobs were outsourced to china or canada or something.

No they still draw it a lot of the animation is outsourced to korea but animation and drawing aren't really the same thing

Hello. I am a rabbit. I like to pee and poop everywhere except in my litterbox. I then proceed to lay in this cesspool and get it stuck all over my fur. When you try to bathe me, I refuse to sit still and try to hump your arm. This is all despite the fact that I was previously housetrained, I just really like to be gross!

I didn't quite mean that, I meant uh we were talking about Faxanadu and that epic opening screen and I found this image http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cLwbKwrwSzM/SQfHADh7ELI/AAAAAAAAAVM/ogwKcqEX_XY/s400/faxanadu.jpg which I assume is from an instruction booklet and I guess it isn't exactly perfectly anime but it's also just an INSTRUCTION BOOKLET in USA we would've just got some random dude to slap together some artwork for ours (Megaman 1 box art) isn't there anybody in Japan who is kind of some random flunkie who only has marginal skill at drawing and it was NES days so nobody cared if the boxart looked anything like the actual game. At least I saw some Japanese RPG Maker games that were like... psuedo-anime, obviously trying to reach that style but not ridiculously perfect pythagorean proportions (anime eyes are like probably some exact calculus shit needed to draw that way) I'm not saying anime is good I'm just saying it still seems like something hard to draw. It's not like how you can learn to draw a Homer Simpson by watching a 30-second youtube video

and what do you mean by that with all americans do draw the same - I was saying it would be like if every american could randomly draw looney tunes style without even trying just because it is national cultural export everybody is THAT familiar with it

edit: Actually we were discussing that faxanadu artwork and it was like weird because everything else in that picture is kind of dark and gritty and actually an interesting original style but then there is random animeface it completely ruins the atmosphere I'm pretty sure it's the law in Japan that you have to put at least one anime thing in all drawn artwork otherwise people will get confused/upset/not know what they are looking at

First off did you ever smell a cat spray to mark there spots. my god the worst.

Also I would be sleeping by now if my neighbor's houses didn't catch on fire. I blame the full moon.

One more thing no one got hurt.

We do have that though, just think about it. It's all those cartoons from the 80's (I think Hanna Barbera were responsible for most of them.) Scooby Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, even He-Man and G-I Joe mixed the style with the comic book look in the most generic fashion imaginable. Every american can draw like that, because they are just a bunch of generic human shapes with random cartoon features put on. It's just uncanny how much they all look like each other, and it seems like something that could have easily been inspired by anime or anything else that bases it's identity on the fact it was meant to be drawn the same way as everything else within that category. The thing about it is, that literally any person could have drawn them, so it's safe to assume that everyone already can.

Now that doesn't mean they all do. I think the only reason it works different in Japan is because drawing is probably more fashionable there or something. It's not like both examples can be applied directly on-top of each other, since the differences really do seem to stem from the cultural values of the places they originally came from.

That style needed to have caught on though. America needs something to call it's own before it simply equates the quality of any drawing to how closely it resembles how anime looks.

whoa, the thing is there: Hanna Barbera made all of those. it's not because everyone drew the same automatically, it's because Hanna Barbera drew all of them. I can't draw like that, nobody I know can draw like that. in fact most people I know have a style more similar to Klasky-Csupo. Klasky-Csupo is the American style.


edit: but yea, every hanna barbera cartoon looks like every other hanna barbera cartoon and I think we can assume why. It would be worrisome if every hanna barbera cartoon looked like every klasky-csupo cartoon looked like every Tartakovsky(sp?) because THEN that would represent the American equivalent of anime, but if you look at the work these various companies have produced they all look very different (well, Tartakovsky made Dexter's lab which was produced or something by Hanna barbera so there is similiarity there but it def has it's own style). Then the people who worked with Tartakovsky went off on their own stuff which also looks a lot like Dexter's lab (powerpuff girls, my life as a teenage robot) so he kinda spawned a style that gained a lot of use and you can obviously tell they look a lot alike but again: it is it's own subsection where america as a whole has not one set style, whereas japan is stuck in ANIMEWORLD every thing animated is AMINE!!!
