Topicless thread

those series gained popularity on their own, they weren't marketed. One Piece has been going for 15 years, i think longer than the creator intended. (he's said that he REALLY wants to do a robot story. thankfully, he's also said that he will see his creation through to a proper end.)

makes sense, but why did you put that tagline in then if everyone was? :\

@Dustii and the lack of talk about OS-tans on OSC: Welcome to my world bro. Then again, I deal in such an esoteric branch of OS-tan personification (namely, rare / vintage / antique personifications) that I've become well accustomed to not having many people to talk to about them. Not that it bothers me much - I enjoy making my own characters and my own stories, so it's nice having a high level of creative freedom.

Re: Post XP Windows-tans: My lack of interest in them stems from the fact that, well, the Japanese artists who delivered us the "canon" OS-tans seem to have given up deciding on (or not coalesced around) a canon Vista-tan, W7-tan, W8-tan, etc. -w-;; That being said, I like Chivistan (or whatever the green-haired, transparent-dressed one is), Esu's Windows 7-tan (the blonde gal with wings), and that black haired Windows 8-tanm design.

As for the OSes themselves - I honestly never thought I'd get along with Vista, but when I started using it in Virtualbox it worked just fine. I never thought I'd like Windows 7, but here I am using it as we speak - something I didn't even plan to do, I was going to install 'Buntu but Windows 7 has been fulfilling my computing needs well enough that I don't need to install another OS at the moment. I can't imagine using Windows 8 on a laptop or desktop, but I can imagine using it on a tablet or even recommending it to my dad (since he's awful with computers and the interface might be easier for him to comprehend), and who the hell knows, maybe I'll end up with a Windows 8-running computer that I'm too lazy to convert to a better operating system.

It's like the old (and now horribly misquoted) adage goes - The worse enemy of a good design is one that works just well enough.

tbh i'd enjoy more OS-centric conversation too, but all that's ever talked about is people's personal stories or OCs or whatever, not the original OS-tans themselves or anything pertaining to them. so i just stepped out of it since i had nothing to add.

I guess because it just doesn't feel like there's much to discuss on the originals that isn't set in stone already? :\

Chocofreak13 · February 07, 2013, 04:10:31 PM

there was a lot of ground uncovered, such as the original theory topics i laid out, like the world and race/class hierarchy. :\

Nichi · February 07, 2013, 04:32:09 PM

True :\

In other news, I have the theme song to Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego? stuck in my head. Got to love how one of my coworkers has a mix CD containing theme songs of '90s shows he used to watch (Some of which I also watched too :3)

Chocofreak13 · February 07, 2013, 05:28:05 PM

fuck yeah~

but the only CS incarnation i've had experience with is the computer game Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?, so i kinda have the theme to that stuck in my head.

I had the NES version of that game, but could never figure it out :\
I'm sure the PC version is better

As for me, I'm more familiar with the animated series and the two game shows based on it

alfonso_rd_30 · February 07, 2013, 06:21:13 PM

I hated that Carmen San Diego

Google is down.

Thanks to adsense and that shit, the entire web is at a fucking crawl...

Except OSC!

Nichi · February 07, 2013, 06:44:47 PM

Google's working for me :\

Chocofreak13 · February 07, 2013, 07:39:09 PM

yeah dude, i just used it just a little bit ago. :\

alfonso_rd_30 · February 07, 2013, 08:27:36 PM

I'm using chrome, Google opens up like if it did born to be used by this browser

NejinOniwa · February 07, 2013, 10:59:24 PM

That means it's probably a regional problem. Chrome doesn't work either, for me.

Chocofreak13 · February 07, 2013, 11:17:51 PM

maybe they're updating their servers/access, one region at a time? if it doesn't open for me in the morning i'll let you know. :\

suddenly, i'm on an old movies kick. american dad inspired me to torrent the breakfast club. i then laughed at myself for torrenting the freakin' breakfast club. then i laughed again since the popup from the torrent site was "404 File Not Found". (VURY effective advertising. xDD)

that then reminded me that i was looking at DVDs of an older movie the other day, The Lost Boys. there was about a 2-week period about 2-3 years ago where i watched it about 6 times. it grew on me, so i'm torrenting that too.
and this is after torrenting the lame-name movie Cool World last week. xD (oh, and Spaceballs is on demand. -w- )
