Jeff is doing a good job keeping shit going, and the guys are trying to fill the gap left by Ryan, but It just feels like they keep coming up short. Ryan left big shoes to fill, and while it's not surprising that they are having trouble I hope they can find some one who can bring back a little of the Jeff/Ryan dynamic.
They are both shows from around the same time. I think the Unit 2 "controlled" berserk form was called "Beast Mode" in the English dub/sub, but it has been ages since I've seen it. I can't even remember if it was used in the 26 Episode series or just in the end of Eva movie.
I'd argue that it's closer to 14 dollars (Hours worked vs weekly salary). I know the law tries to make out that it's 16, but casuals are disposable gap fillers. It's the salary man who you will find in any normal permanent position where there's not a 24h roster to fill, and when there is a 24h roster it's kids who make up the bulk of the work force, because they cost the least & are easy as hell to replace.
As for games I'd argue that $70 to $75 is fair, but more then that no & as it stands I don't even pay that at the moment so It's a non issue. Even the new console prices are pretty much the best I've ever seen at a launch.
It's about the best it has been in ages due to GMG, Oz Game Shop & Steam. I have more choice today then I can ever remember having, although it's not "healthy" in the long run for game retailers in Oz. Still It's easy enough to pick up cheaper titles, but if you walk into just about any IRL store other then JB HiFi you are going to be deeply disappointed with the prices. Gamestop/EB Games is actually one of the worst places you can go.
Current prices for next gen from GS/EB is $599 for XOne & $549 for PS4, witch over all is pretty dam good for Australia. We have a 10% GST tax so your $499 XOne jumps up to $550 from that alone & when you factor in Shipping & Staff the $50 of fat is still fair. The PS4 ? not as good given that there's a $109 gap between the US & AU prices (after factoring in the $40 of GST).
While I do spend about 1,500 bucks on a new PC every 5/6 years I only pay about 40 bucks (some times much less) for the games I play. I save from 1/2 to 2/3 of the cost that I would pay for a console game. Over 5/6 years my PC comes out ahead by a good margin.
