A new Ultraman is coming to our saturday mornings! Woohoo for pretty Japanese people!

Also, in the words of Doctor Ho (100 nerdpoints to the person who knows the reference), "Mmmm, check THIS out!"

The Friday Five, late.

Who was the first non-family member you can remember?
My childhood friend Duke. Never saw him again after Kindergarten. Probably a good thing. His dog attacking me is why 1)I somewhat fear large dogs and 2) My left eye doesn't work well.

What do you value that most people probably don't know?
An old coinpurse that once belonged to my mother. And a book that was given me by my adopted grandmother (the nice but distant one, not the present but evil one).

When was the first time you realized you were an adult?

When I realised that I was the number 3 guy in a company that netted well over a million dollars a year, and that my work in restructuring my department had helped the company get to that point. So of course, I quit. It was time to become a teacher. And that's one of the few times I ever knew something without doubt... the kind of semi-mystical "It's time" thing Wizards do in my favorite stories.

Where do you think of when the word "Home" is used?
San Franciso. Specifically, the sunset district, though I never lived in it.

Why are you where you are in life?
Some good choices, some bad.

How old do you feel?
Somedays, I feel ancient; others, childlike.

From Penny Arcade's written column (which for me is worth more than the comic strip):

Onimusha 2: . . . I did like the ability to have Japanese voice acting with English subtitles in the first Onimusha, for the same reason I don't watch dubbed anime - because English voice acting is complete garbage ninety-nine percent of the time. I don't know what's so fucking hard about getting someone who is not a complete moron to do voice acting for games or animation. It's like they take everyone who happened to be in the room at the time and just turned the mikes on. For all I know, Japanese voice acting is just as bad, but at least they seem to mean it.
