Mm... I dunno. Something about the way they drew that face cries "MAN WHO WISHES HE WAS IFURITA".  Perhaps my ever knowledgable sister will be able to tell me artistically why I might think it.
I thought something along those lines too... but mine was more like, "That is one ugly picture of Ifurita" I think basically the WHOLE FACE is the problem. For anime, her eyes are too small for your typical female character -- especially one in a coy position. In this case it just comes off creepy like a guy in a trench coat who's about to flash you -- the mouth adds to this disturbing effect. The nose is a little long, as is the jawline. Her chin is too long too and square. It's like she has Fujisawa's chin, all she's missing is the stubble. Her cheeks are kind of high, cos her eyes are so small, so her face looks more hollow, like she's underfed. so here is what we have: and here is what I did in about 10 minutes to TRY and fix it: It's not a GREAT fix, but I think it's better than it was :\ She at least looks female now instead of a cosplayer in drag. Does that help? Her head is kinda weird shaped to begin with, so you'd pretty much have to redraw the whole thing to fix that :p The back of the head needs to be reshaped. Her head is also a little big for her body even at that angle (unless we're seeing her through a fish-eye lens) :p Can you tell that just about everything in this picture bothers me?

And this is how an AMI (American Megatrends Inc.) BIOS equipped IBM compatible screams "AHH! I CAN'T FEEL MY VIDEO CARD!" Wow you can almost hear it saying, "It's gone?! WHERE?! WHERE?! WHERE?! WHERE?! WHERE?!" That's an interesting error beep. You made it do that just for this post didn't you?

I wasn't talking about computers of the future though, I was only talking about the computers we have now. I think its very possible for us to develop thinking feeling computers eventualy. You're reading to far into what I was saying. And you didn't read far enough into what I said. I said a computer can't express to us that what we are doing to it is not possible for it to do, so it's telling us with the only means it has, that pathetic beep. We only treat them as machines cos they don't start cussing us out when you try to push them too hard -- the topic of the discussion that this came from was a robot rights one so it implies future technology in the first place, we were discussing why we treat machines the way we do. It's because they have no means to express their discontent so we don't think of them as having feelings. Besides it was just a musing no need to call the idea "ludicrous," just something to think on. Machines only can do so much, you should be nice to them if you want them to work for you.

The idea of a computer feeling anything is ludicrous, the way it works is not at all similar to a human brain. ... computers don't HAVE to work the same way you do to have feelings (emotional or physical). It's possible for us to eventually develop a kind of sentient intelligence for the machines of the future-- you only say it's ridiculous cos it hasn't been done YET. The only reason a computer can't "feel" is cos you haven't given it a means to do so. On a less emotional example, a computer can't sense hot and cold unless it's hooked up to some sort of device like a thermometer or some other kind of electronic sensor... We can only feel because our nervous system tells us stuff is hot or cold. If your nervous system has been damaged, you may lose the ability to feel such things... does that make you a machine void of feeling? No, you just don't have the means to do so anymore. The computers of today are not the energy sucking, vacuum tube powered, slow machines they were in the 1950's and I think it's safe to say that the machines of the future will not be like anything we have today. Transistors and integrated circuits are the difference between those machines and what we have today. You never know -- the next invention may be the one that's going to make the impossible, possible.

I can just see an adult manga series springing from the ideas in these. And at the end of each chapter, a drawing of a broken fortune cookie with the fortune the chapter is based on! That's so wrong Saucer-san... Now if I WERE a hentai artist I'd have to steal that idea from you and make a lucrative business out of it. But instead I think I'll go back to that soda can and wire idea I had.

In one class today I mentioned that the only reason we treat computers like unfeeling machines is cos they cannot talk back to us. When we try to do things the computer can't do, we MIGHT be causing it "pain" but it has no way of expressing it. When you hit all the keys at once and it makes that "beep" noise, it might actually be crying out in pain with the only voice it has -- it's telling you to STOP what you are doing because it cannot handle it... I mean think about how many times the PC speaker beeps at you... that's your computer saying "owie!" ;_;

are you (kathy) brothers with Bobby? Yes he is my brother ^^ But I live literally on the other side of the planet now. I haven't got around to playing Chrono Trigger yet. After beating IX i plan to move to VIII then play I, II, IV, Chrono, V, VI, then VII. Then hopefully after that (if i can ever get a hold of a ps2) X and X-2. ... umm... I'd play VII before I'd play VIII >_< Now this is my personal opinion but I think most people I've talked to agree with me... FF VIII had a really bad plot. There were sooo many gaping holes in it. And there were many things about VIII that were just ANNOYING. Like the fact that you need to remember to try to draw guardian forces from bosses cos if you don't you'll never be able to get it... and like when you gotta beat all those scary little Tonberry's to get Tonberry king O_o;;; VII has a much better story and cooler characters. Vincent is awesome and Barret and Cid crack me up. And there are few villans who pull off bad ass better than Sephiroth. Heh and don't knock games cos the graphics are old ^_~ Megaman 3, 4 and 6 are still my favorite games EVER and they aren't much to look at, but have awesome amusement factors. Besides, it was all we had when I was growing up... and many Atari titles still rule. (Dig Dug and Food Fight anyone?)

I know. The only FF game I ever had patience to partially digest was FF7 because it had some very neat, intertwined storylines. But... it's like my sister said, my preference is games I can put a couple hours into and then go away for a while knowing I've succeeded a lot (as opposed to spending two hours battling monsters to raise two levels.  ) Yup yup ^^ I liked 7... I liked the plot and most of the characters... I want to play 7 over again some time... but everytime I think about doing it, I go..."Ohh.. but I gotta go through Midgar again... that beginning part is annoying..." And the max level was 30 because the EXP counter would hit the end of a 2-byte number (65535). Dragon Warrior was awesome. It was highly amusing. I liked how the king would get all whiny if you were on a really high level and he'd beg you to go defeat the Dragon Lord cos you're supposed to be able to defeat him on like level 18 or something My all time favorite RPG is Chrono Trigger though. I think it's the only one I've played that was perfectly balanced. You always had exactly enough money and experience to progress the story line. You NEVER have to run around just defeating stuff for no reason. If you just beat the enemies as they come, you'll be fine. The only exception being the Black Omen which I used as a late game training ground... but even then... once you went through it the first time, it was easy to nail it 2 more times since most of the boss fights are gone.

The best way to get a good idea is to have lots of ideas -- in bed.

You see, this is exactly why I try to stay off RPGs and MMORPGs. The former takes takes a damn long time to complete and the latter takes a lot of time to move at snail speed to no goal. Heh I agree :p As much as I like RPG's I'm at a point in my life where I need games that I can pick up and put down like an hour or 2 later feeling satisfied :p RPG's take too long to give me an amusing conclusion. Now if they had a Chip n' Dale's MMORPG then I'd have to play it. "Once you're 31337 ... all the n00bs will fall to your feet." http://www.askcorran.com/flash/chipndales.htm
