Just a quick question,

Is there anyway you could re-engineer the way the videos work, because at the moment if a video fails to load all the way i am stuck so i have to refresh the page and wait for it to load all again. Or if i want to skip to a part of the video i have to wait for the video to load all the way to that point. This is quite ridiculous. Why cant you just make the videos work how youtube does, where i can control which point i want to start watching at.

Thankyou

Kanji is awesome; when he is sprinkling stuff on his watermelon I cracked up.

Also Vinny yelling "Funky Student Protractor" as a search suggestion.  Awesome; one of the least likely searches ever.

Yea! Charlies gonna be a playa! I think I already said this but there is no penalty for having multiple girlfriends other then your own guilt I guess, but so the game encourages the playa lifestyle.

That something extra Kanji is sprinkling on the watermelon is Salt.  Salt trickr your mind into thinking the watermelon is much sweeter.  Its popular to do in Japan and the south in US.

Would someone mind explaining how avalanche, eggbeater, and elephant have indefinite articles.

@gryphon_gold:
since they begin with a vowel, you say "an" instead of "a". I think thats what they meant, but I'm not a native English speaker.

@gryphon_gold:

It's the difference between the use of "a" and "an", following the grammatical rules that any noun starting with a vowel (avalanche, eggbeater, elephant) or any abbreviation (RSPCA) is referred to with "an" - i.e. An Elephant.

Whereas all other nouns use "a" = i.e. A Lion.

I get it.  They all have the exact same indefinite article.

Oh come on, that riddle was so easy. Go-kart and alarm clock are electric and skateboard and egg timers are not. So, it goes in A.

EDIT: Or human motion or whatever the answer was....

To be fair, Naoto's Japanese voice was far more ambiguous.

I wish I had gotten the indefinete article-B side. I do it all the time, but forgot what it was called. the first one I quessed, but wasn`t sure. melons are a big deal, i think the first high rated 2 in japan (not watermelons!) went for thousands of dollars, less than usual actually. And someone said salt, thats what I(we) used to do when we were young. Don`t know what Kanjii  is sprinkling though..heh..carries salt in his pocket?

Lived in Japan for 2 years...some of my Japanese friends took me to the beach one day, and they all LOST THEIR SHIT when someone brought a watermelon.

There was a whole ritual built around it.  We had special net to carry the watermelon, with a long rope attached to it.  We tied one end of the rope to our picnic table and the watermelon went in the water. 

Honestly, everybody made a huge deal over the watermelon...it must be a cultural thing.

Heh, so they decided to wait to drop the bat until they've tested it out.  That's going to be rich watching them miss roughly 7 out of 10 hits, give or take some depending on the evasiveness of the enemy, when they start fighting again.  :P

Wait....what?

The investigation team all know about fox cus he hangs in the dungeons with them....but good ol' fox doesn't come up in conversation whilst Charlie and Yukiko chill at the shrine, she doesn't mention him in her nostalgic visits there....

Duh duh duuuuuh!

(Conclusion, fox is the killer!  He's wiping everybody's memories except for your own!)

As long as they don't use the bat to attack, they'll be fine. Charlie can attack using his Personas, and it won't be affected by the bat's low hit rate. But when they perform an all-out attack, that makes use of the weapon's attack power, so it's not totally useless.

But if they're going to be using Charlie's normal physical attacks often (which they probably will), then the Edge will probably work out a lot better for them.

Dude, you guys are going to need to grind the hell out of Naoto's Social Link.  (S)he's only level 1, right?  And you're like half-way through the game.  Also, notice that there's just enough room between Yosuke and Chie to fit another chair.  I WONDER WHO WILL EVENTUALLY BE SITTING THERE?

I had a feeling protractor would be in group A, but for a different reason.

The letter T is the 4th letter in "protractor" as with "skateboard" and "egg timer."

I love seeing the guys go straight for the most roundabout ways the Groups A and B are rockin together, especialyl since the egg timer question is probably the easiest Funky Student question out there.


And joy oh joy, the school trip's coming up! Prepare for a million persona 3 references the guys won't get!
