The final boss of Fable 2... one shot and if you don't shoot fast enough the other guy does it and insults you for it... WTF!?

Prince of Persia 08 entirely... the whole games boss fights are AWFUL!!!

Also the Yellow Devil from Megaman 1 is a asshole!

@jakob187 My cousin is in an interesting, but very messed-up, situation.

Through absolutely no fault of his own, he tests positive for HIV antibodies, but repeated tests have confirmed that he does not have the HIV virus. At the time his mother was pregnant with him, she was a Sheriff's deputy and worked at a county jail. During that time, she was exposed to hepatitis. I'm not a doctor, and don't pretend to understand exactly what happened, but apparently this can occasionally cause the child to produce antibodies that, for the rest of his life, will deliver a false positive on an HIV test.

And when insurance companies do a medical screening for preexisting conditions, they of course test for HIV. And they only use the antibody test because it's faster and cheaper than the virus test. Guess how easy it is for my cousin to get health insurance now?

I'll give you a clue: it's fucking impossible. So, in your imaginary free-market utopia, what would be the solution to my cousin's predicament?

Wait... if he has anti bodies... doesn't that make him... uh... immune to HIV or am I mistaken on this?

What the fuck? No. There's only one known case of ANYONE being immune to HIV. Anti bodies are made to fight the invading cells, they don't immunize you.

Wait... who is the one case then!?

Why is it called Manslaughter? It sounds far FAR worse than murder. With murder it sounds like you are silently killing someone, with Manslaughter it sounds like you are chopping dozens of people up with a axe while laughing maniacally...

That is the way I see on how weird that word is used anyway...

definitions are different for each, both being a form of homicide.

quickly, with manslaughter your intent may not have been to kill, with murder you had intention of killing.

I still say that Manslaughter sounds way worse IMO at least. I mean, just say it out loud, "Murder" "Manslaughter" for some reason Manslaughter sounds worse. Sure both are bad but still...

Now accidental killing or unintended killing sound bad but nothing like Manslaughter.

@Hailinel: You know what animated movie is totally fucked up? Epic: Days of the Dinosaurs. Basically, it involves two kids raised by dingos who have to go out into the world by themselves to find the secrets of life... there is so much death in this movie from what I remember that I still have nightmares based on this freaking movie. Hell, they show dingo puppies drowning!!! Graphically! Sure animated but it is still a level of fucked up that I don't want to see anymore.

It ended on such a weird ending... at the end the kids howled upwards and became dingos themselves... that movie haunted me my entire life and due to it being a pretty rare movie actually I doubt I will ever be able to see it. I came from some weird Australian company that made a bunch of third rate kids shows and somehow my rental places got a copy back in the day... I regret the day I picked up this nightmare fuel. I do wish to watch through it once more so if you guys got a copy make sure to somehow get it on youtube. The world will be thankful for it!

Edit: Found the video which shows what it is... if anyone here has seen it. Please let me know!

Yeah... this video is insanely nostalgic.

ReEdit: Oh yeah anime!

Uh... Anyone see Shiki, I totally recommend it. Why is it that Japan seems to know how to make a vampire story than us these days?

Basically we used a shitton of it due to the United states being dumb by pricing it low. Now scientists are pissed off because there are only a few ways to get it on Earth.

However there is a solution to this, Helium 3 and THE MOON!!! Yep... we are going to need to colonize the Moon within 30 years! Yay for that, boo for Helium shortage, tell you party balloon guys to stop wasting it so scientists that actually need it can use it!

Also... couldn't people who swim use this constantly... like... would it literally be able to make you into... well... a fish then as long as you keep injecting more into yourself?

Yeah... I fully admit that it would be a pretty cool thing to test.

Gurren Lagann... it kicks ass... that is all.

Alright I will talk about another anime I saw when I myself was a wee child. I remember it had megaman robots in it and that it was on Toonami back then... they all had a weird red suit on them and they had golden buttons as decorations but I completely forgot what the name of it was... dammit!

Also has anyone seen the new Tales of Vesparia movie yet? I was wondering how it was since I am a fan of the game.

Oh, and for a philosophical question that may never be answered... what exactly is a Smurf? Are they blue mushrooms? I know not anime related but I thought I should ask here.

@Hailinel: Actually, it seemed like some sort of Rapture type of story at the end there from what I read... awesome fucking game though. Even though I thought Sho Minamoto (I believe that is his name anyway. the math guy.) was tougher to beat but this guy was awesome for a final boss.
