Though apparently that xenomorph is debilitated due to mass irradiation. Not really sure what they typically look like moving though.

HOLY SHIT! Maybe getting fired isn't all bad, now I have time to get some classic old games and play them. (Arcanum! I am looking right at you!)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I'M AMAZON!

Ironbite-no you're Skyrider...silly Saban.

Well, at least they got ZX right.

And there's also the fact that we have Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, which cared about the source material a lot more... and bombed. Yeah, I'm thinking that Kamen Rider is fucked in the west.

From what I heard the network didn't like it much and the plot kinda went off the rails.

And yet somehow Power Rangers still survives.

Huh? What are you talking about? The PS4 and Xbox 720?

I mean, you seriously need to explain that shit.

To be fair they were using Ryuki who's plot.....goes everywhere but sense.  It's a good series but the CW wanted the next Power Rangers and kinda fucked with the scheduling and such.  Also still hasn't aired the last couple of episodes.

As for Kamen Rider being fucked in the west...fuck you man.  There's a huge fansubbing community who takes time to sub every episode of Kamen Rider it can get it's hands on for free and millions watch it.  Same with Super Sentai.  So don't say there's not an audience in the West.

Ironbite-just another series that MAKES FUCKING SENSE should've been chosen over Ryuki.

I am well aware of the subbing community. But there's a difference between being fucked in terms of official releases and being fucked in terms of fan releases, which Kamen Rider has a healthy community of it.

Also, apparently the Dragon Knight writers wanted to do Kamen Rider Blade first, but the producers told them to do Ryuki because thirteen Riders means more toys to sell than four Riders.

And in terms of video games: How about that awesome looking Dynasty Warriors Kamen Rider that we're not likely to get?

CFO possibly talking out his ass:

Given the systems are supposedly coming out within a year I doubt him on both counts, I can't imagine that blocking used game sales is going to help the launch of a new console without some SERIOUS fucking around by the companies responsible.

Apparently achievements in both TL1 and TL2 are glitched unless you're connected to the internet at the time of completion. Or so it seems after me fiddling about trying to get easier achievements like teaching my pet spells (already taught him 5 and no achievement for 4).

And I can't connect to steam on the hospital wireless. It's forbidden.

Also, a producer of games can't confirm shit. Only the producer of the consoles themselves can. Thanks for playing.

It's also EA, who are pretty much the poster boys pushing the end to both.

EA is also pretty blatantly evil and hates anything that's not dollar bills.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.
