    This show also known as: ATTACK SHIPS ON FIRE OFF THE SHOULDER OF ORION.

    Before we drop mad science on Shin Getter vs. Neo Getter (spoilers: Texas Mack is the best character in anime) please permit us to indulge ourselves with an extraordinarily long tangent about Call of Duty: Black Ops and why I hate it when people approach me on the street unless they're sexy ladies BECAUSE CAN'T YOU SEE I'M WALKING HERE. Anyway, COD: BLOOPS: we're gonna need HUGE SPOILERS to discuss the busted-ass nature of this game.

    BLOOPS, SON. BLOOPS.
  • I am almost positive that Texas Mack is the robot itself...
  • The robot is Texas Mack, the pilot is Jack King.
  • I like to think Jack King isn't truly himself when outside Texas Mack.
  • I can't help but think that Doctor Who is taking ideas from Getter Robo.

  • I had no idea about the obvious twist ending in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
    Maybe it's because I had the television on mute the entire duration of the game.

    I also napped during the cutscenes
  • I have high expectations for this podcast. Not only because is of Getter Robo but because its opening is the manliest opening in Getter Robo history!
    MUSASSHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIII don't die!
  • I hadn't heard about the Mystery Method in a while. Dredging up memories of reading The Game, which was honestly pretty entertaining. The method is questionable, though. Tonight, a woman I'd never met before bought my drinks and my dinner just because I had a pleasant conversation with her. Eat it, Mystery.
  • I never had to do anything other than be totally adorable to get people to buy me stuff. :o The concept of neg-ing, while technically sound I guess, is a super douchey way to get attention.
  • Agreed. I don't like myself nearly enough to be that big a cockmonger, and I'm as self-absorbed as they come.
  • You thinking running into greenpeace on the street is bad, try having dinner with your girlfriend's brother and his wife who both work for greenpeace. Screw the whales, have fun getting speared by Tanaka cause you got on his boat.

    One time a girl gave me some chips, but I think it was because I was dressed as a bum and kind of bleeding and sweating due to an awesome saber fight during fencing practice :goku:
  • I dont understand how taking something outta your storage unit would make you feel so badass. I feel terrible when i go to mine because I have to move the stuff to get to the stuff that is blocking the stuff that I want which is just more stuff to move, its such a pain for me and a hassle to deal with to get like one or 2 things that I think I need.

    But hey, whatever gets you through your day, and I guess we all had to be there to watch you do it, that would shed some light on what your talking about also.
  • I was a canvasser for NYPIRG. Boy, did that teach me that I'm not a liberal. Saving the planet is boring and you annoy strangers with it. Live in your toxic waste, people. I don't want your donations.

    My job still requires going to people's houses, though. Just glad people actually want me there now.
  • Hopefully the transition of going to people's house unsolicited to welcomed is one that I make one day as well.

    I'm pretty hippie-ish but I just don't badger people with it or care what they do for that matter, I do what I can on my own.
  • I think either your parents have to be well off and supporting you or you're a really good salesman (read: soulless) to do those canvassing job. I wouldn't even be one of those kids selling liquid fabric softener door to door.
  • [quote="ZeonicFreak"]I dont understand how taking something outta your storage unit would make you feel so badass.Because in virtually every spy-action videogame, there is at least one mission where you have to go to an area that's full of identical doors and walls, is lit with harsh white shadow-free lights, and you have to find a specific door and get a small object from the room inside it. Put Dave in a Sneaking Suit and he's Solid Snake.

    *******

    The thing about the guys outside the Home Depot (or the storage unit, I guess) is that they never seem to get that if someone doesn't hire you right away then they aren't going to hire anyone. It's not like I'm going to go in by myself and suddenly think "oh wait, I forgot that this piano won't fit in my car, silly me!"

    *******

    The Game: It seems to me that it's not so much about the actual convincing, as it is a shared set of language that establishes you're in the market for a hook-up. Like, "negging" doesn't actually convince women to sleep with you. What it does is tell the woman that your penis is available for short-term usage.
  • My penis is only available for long-term use. Hi-oooh!
  • [quote="RobotBastard"]Like, "negging" doesn't actually convince women to sleep with you. What it does is tell the woman that your penis is available for short-term usage.

    Forgive me for stating the obvious, but it seems like there are better ways to let a woman know you're available for a ride. Yuck.
  • Frankly, I'm for it. Anyone who would practice/be successfully wooed by The Game is a waste of life. It's a wonderful tool for keeping those worthless creatures away from us good ones.
  • There's only one rule of dating you should follow: don't appear desperate.
  • Desperation always is a bad idea in dating. Acting like a douchebag just to cover up your own inadequacies might just be the ultimate act of desperation.
  • Honesty also is ultimately your best bet, because manufacturing lies is hard to keep up with.

    I'm gonna write a dating book. It'll be called I Sez Stuff: LISTEN!
  • Wait, I'm getting mixed signals here. Desperation is bad, but honesty is good? So, this little loop hole is why I'll be forever fucked... or rather not fucked?
  • Remain single and don't care about remaining single. Success is yours!
  • Full honesty is bad, but so is just piling lies upon lies. Little white lies: good. Making up a fake life for yourself: bad.
  • [quote="JonBrescia"]Remain single and don't care about remaining single. Success is yours!

    The 2D girlfriend is the best girlfriend!
  • Hug pillows for everyone!
  • [quote="furyk"][quote="JonBrescia"]Remain single and don't care about remaining single. Success is yours!

    The 2D girlfriend is the best girlfriend!

    And so is your hand(s). :D

    I once read from some forum: "If my hand could bear children, I would have made the worlds largest superpower".
  • Every thing I ever needed to know about dating I learned from What Planet are You From?
  • Are you planning on doing that movie Paul, it was so underrated.
