I'm sad nobody's made a light gun peripheral for the Switch. All your need is a gun attachment for the right Joycon and a Wii-style lightbar. The right Joycon already has the IR camera there just waiting to be used for this very purpose.

~*The Official Thread of Hero Cop Valor and Bravery*~
Ghost_MH replied to Jason's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
If there's any demographic police kick around like minorities, it's certainly the disabled. -
Possibly, but I don't see how MCU Zemo does that considering his motives and distaste for supers. If we're putting together a Thunderbolts team in the MCU, I say you go US Agent, Batroc, Ghost, and...the MCU has a real problem killing off villains. Vulture is still alive, as is the Prowler even if he has yet to become the Prowler. Tim Roth will be in She Hulk, so he'd be a good choice here. He's not exactly young, but luckily the Abomination is 100% CG so he should be good.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
Ghost_MH replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Our city is like 15% Cambodian. There's also a rather significant percentage of our Vietnamese population that also speaks Khmer. If I'm not mistaken, there are a larger number of pure Khmer speakers here than pure Spanish speakers. That is, folks that don't know any English. ...and the number of Khmer-speaking teachers in the entire district can be counted on like one hand. -
The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
Ghost_MH replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Slightly off the topic of minorities getting killed, but totally on the topic of systemic racism. I just needed to rant over the bullshit of it all. My wife is a special needs teacher and fluent in both Spanish and English with a little bit of Portuguese mixed in. She's been super stressed lately because a not insignificant number of her special needs students are getting services they don't need. Our city is 40% Southeast Asia or Latin American. She's the only minority working in her schools of well over 500 students. Other schools in this city have similar demographics among the faculty. The problem? Teachers aren't required to evaluate special needs students in any language other than English. Can't follow simple instructions in English? Guess that means the child is nonverbal autistic, because who cares if the kids can hold entire conversations in Spanish or Khmer. Now these kids that can probably just get by with some ADHD medication or whatever are being held back by being treated like they don't understand spoken language instead of just being stuck in ESL classes. Got to love it when school districts don't bother trying to hire more minority teachers when 29% of the city doesn't even speak English as their first language. So yeah, my wife is now taking Khmer lessons. Systemic racism. Yay! -

There are actually a lot of great looking games here. I might actually pick up the first, like, five games they showed off. Road 96 looks pretty damn great. I guess I missed that reveal last year. I'm also completely down for an Oxenfree sequel. That was a bit of a surprise announcement.

I'm, honestly, shocked how much Gundam is on Hulu. I watched a lot of this stuff on VHS and DVD way back when. I had no idea all the major series are on Hulu. They have the original series and Origin, 08th MS Team, 00, Seed, Wing, and Iron Blooded Orphans. Netflix has Iron Blooded Orphans and Unicorn. Crunchyroll also has the original series plus the Gundam Build stuff that we can totally pretend don't exist.

I love/hate these SO much...

There's no order for lot of Gundam. Many of the most popular series are self contained stories in alternate timelines. There are a good number of series that take place in the Universal Century timeline. Those are the closest any anime gets to something like Star Wars, with a single linking storyline covered in movies and TV series starting in 1979 with the original Gundam series up through this year's Gundam Hathaway. If the Universal Century stuff is what you're most interested in, there are timelines out there, but it is VERY much mostly a war drama...just with mechs. I always feel the need to earn people because they remember Gundam Wing and think it's all big robot go boom. A lot of the Gundam UC stuff is political/war drama. Only instead of trench warfare, they're flying mechs around in space and trying to blow up space stations. My favorite of the UC stuff is 08th MS Team. You can watch that series on Hulu. The original 1979 Gundam series is on Crunchyroll, but you can get an updated summary series on Hulu with Gundam The Origin. A great newer entry in the UC timeline is Gundam Unicorn. That one is on Netflix. If so if that sounds way too damn complicated, here are my favorite Gundam series outside of the main storyline: Gundam 00 (Hulu), Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans (Hulu and Netflix), Gundam Seed (Hulu).

Sony Sony Group invests another $200 million into Epic
Ghost_MH replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Spawn Point
At what point does Sony drop MLB The Show on PC? -
Looks like previous reports and speculation I had read online was totally wrong... Looks like Epic just negotiates a flat amount for all games with each developer and pays that up front, regardless of how many downloads or games are claimed. Yeah, I can't see that as being a rather lucrative offer for publishers and developers. That's especially true of games with lagging sales. Take a few million cash, right now, in exchange for a weeklong window where anyone can claim it for free. I wonder how that compares to Humble Bundles where folks can choose their own price.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
Ghost_MH replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Not even dangerous criminals should be chased. Case in point, my wife's aunt was murdered a few years back. Police managed to track down one of her murderers when he was spotted in a stolen car. Highway chase ensued. I don't care what anyone says, highway chase aren't just automagically safe. Either way, he loses control of the car and plows right into a house, luckily killing nobody, but easily could have. Catching a literal murderer isn't worth killing a couple folks enjoying a movie in their livingroom. -
The number of transgender people is a fraction of 1%. Your average non-athletic male in college or any other level doesn't beat your average female athlete. We're basically talking about the planets and the stars aligning while the wind blows eastward and there are exactly three squirrels in my yard. People worry about it, but it just had yet to happen. The closest I can remember is that transgendered high school wrestler that was forced to wrestle girls even though he identified as male and just wiped the floor with ever girl he faced. In that case, though, he wanted to wrestle other boys and the school district just didn't allow it.
