Curious, what do you do with your time that it cannot be "wasted"?  Sounds like you are just grumpy that you were PWND when trying to steal another site's bandwidth.

Anyway, another example!

Gaiares Japanese box:



Gaiares US box:


US box clearly wins!!

I do many things with my precious time, such as grating cheese. And of course I am pissed off that Gayga-16 wouldn't let me hotlink because that's just a sign of ignorance, especially coming from such a small website. Linking a little 16kb image isn't the end of the world :P . I am glad that Yakumo doesn't mind me hotlinking a Sonic cover from his fine Sega site, which had a 8.4 times larger file size :) .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

As opposed to the typical japanese cliche of effiminite men and pre-teen robots?  I'll take the american cliche, thank you.

The Japanese Gaiares box is probably the best box for any game ever. Please tell me the spaceship is a removable sticker!  :pray:

Somebody's already using insanely huge mouths and giant round eyes.  All we got left is fire, robots, and Paris Hilton.

I really think you guys have no f*cking taste at all.

Well, the US Contra cover is clearly better, but I think the Japanese Aleste box is very superior. Same with not only that Sonic game, but all the early Sonic titles. This goes double for Sonic CD.

I don't know about manga being "old news", especially when you are talking about a game that is a) clearly %100 inspired buy "kiddie" shows or whatthef*ckever your backlash is aimed at, and b) is 15 years old itself.

Also, I don't really need the cover of a game to be all bad-ass and shit. The game is hours and hours of that. I really like covers like...KOF AES carts, to use an example.

I think these, "let's diss the anime/manga fans" comments are a way to cloak said poster's insecurity.

I think anyone that takes any of these hobbies/interests to a state of impassioned opinion needs to step back and take a little nap.

You are sad if you need to start a pointed argument or flame session (do they still call it that??) against anyone or anything in a video game forum. 

People that say "your F-ing dumb/lame/loser if you like X instead of X" just ruins everything for everyone.

With that said, anyone who likes the Japanese cover of Deep Blue over the US release is an obvious double digit I.Q. mongoloid that needs euthanized.

Mullets and Trash-Staches.  This game must have been HUGE with the primer-colored Camaro crowd!

Can't wait to hear what Maximum Exposure has to say about this. Y'know that show's fetish for mullets is so bad that everytime they spot one, they waste 3 seconds of airtime to admire it.

Listen, punk, back the f*ck off, because:

1. I am NOT an anime fan, I just dabble in it occasionally. I didn't start ANY shit with you, and here you go and try to instigate something.

2. What about the people who make fun of people for being in a hobby? Yeah, the people who flaunt it are annoying little pricks, but so are the people who are vocally against the hobby in question.

I repeat, BACK THE f*ck OFF. Thank you. ^_^

I can't fistfight for shit, I'm not strong, etc...

But I'm psycho and determined enough to kill someone when I get confronted, and when I get pissed, I have more adrenaline than a crack-snorting elephant with a hormone problem.

To summarize: I'm normally a great, sane, calm collected person. I'm usually OK. But when it comes down to life or death, I'm not OK. Not at all.
