So if anyone's in the mood for a different kind of story, Octave is a very Japanese but very, very cutting story about female objectification and exploitation. It's got sex'n'stuff though, so nsfw.
Two volumes in and the main character's views of herself and sexuality in general are so messed up by her culture that she's only now starting to realize she's a lesbian. Like up until now she's just assumed that even though she's never been attracted to a man eventually Mr. Perfect will come along and she'll get married and be a wife and everything will finally fit together for her. This even as she's regularly having sex with a woman she loves.
Didn't realise it was you with the new avatar :P Really enjoyed it, particularly the way everyone kept kicking the protagonist's ass when she started doing that bullshit self-absorbed thing so many main characters do in stories like this.
Know where I might buy a volume or two of this? It's worth supporting the author.
Ladies I hate to tell you this but the dick gene is totally seperate from the breast gene.
Science.
I'm not assuming that I would have a big dick because I have large breasts.
I just know.
Well your general demeanor does imply you would.
Do you often think " That car is a bit to big?" or "Motorcycles are pointless." ?
Sometimes. But then I also got to handle a jetski once and I remember the rough waters and thinking "Yeah. I would be great at controlling this giant thing on land."

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
I don’t work in the games industry, nor am I a ‘tester’. However, my brother is an award winning developer of non-game software. Why am I writing, because he showed the dev vs. tester problem. He is the dev manager on software used by large customers to control a vital business process - which I will not name. He liked to have events at his house that he invited both family and coworkers. He and his co-workers liked to sit around and bitch about testers and joke about how much fun it was to fire them. Big bullies.
One Monday, before one of those parties, my boss told me I needed to implement this new system, which was the software my brother writes. Small world.
The piece of shit was so buggy it was ridiculous. The support staff of the vendor was crap because they couldn’t get anything fixed on their side. Event rolls around and I overheard my brother and his coworkers joking about the testers they bully, mentioning this stupid idiot that listed a bug that didn’t exist. It was the bug we were having problems with.
I walked up and opened with, ‘Hey motherfuckers, don’t you guys test? We are production down with that fucking bug. If you listen to that tester, we wouldn’t be in the mess you’re in. You’re all assholes that need to be fired.’
Love you brother, mean it.
Devs take it out on testers. Customers take it out on support.
This and the page before it are the first two of this comic that I actually enjoyed.

Well, nobody ever says "if I were the opposite gender, I bet I would be really unattractive."
Speaking of which, anyone know of any good stories that put a more serious spin on the whole "gender bender" concept?
I have a twin brother. I have no idea what he is packing (nor would I ever want to know) but I have a fairly good idea what I might look like as a dude.
I'm 100% sure he would still be more attractive than me because he already is, but I think we would definitely look similar.

No. He's actually in really good shape. Out of high school he started gaining weight because he was no longer doing tons of outdoor stuff with Scouts and he realized it an jumped on it immediately.
I'm assuming I would be a chubbier version of him because I do not have his self-control. Though maybe without breasts I would be more willing to go for a jog (unlikely).
Some of you may be wondering where this scene came from. The waterfall is actually a deleted scene from the movie, which is available on the DVD release. We can see why it was cut from the film, because: (a) it's totally a cliché, and (b) it's completely ludicrous, as Obi-Wan rightfully protests.
However, it does provide a nice bit of drama at this point in the comic, and it gave us a chance for a few additional gags. So what the heck, we're throwing it in.
But if you ever have your characters floating down a river in a game you're running, for pity's sake, don't throw a waterfall at them.
When roleplaying, it's usually thought of as a good thing to immerse yourself in the character. Sally is good at playing make-believe, but not quite so good at separating the fiction from the reality. She's still learning how this gaming thing operates, and hasn't absorbed the fact that her character can do things that she wouldn't want to do in real life.
And the way the dice are falling, it might be some time before she trusts them.
Today's double comic post is brought to you by my modem, which was down all day yesterday.
There are some players who like to treat their favourite spell as the all-purpose answer to everything. It's usually something destructive, like Fireball.
Orcs are attacking? Cast Fireball!
The evil knight is kidnapping the princess? Fireball!
We need a way to cross the river? Fireball!
So when players start coming up with reasons why their favourite spell might not be perfect for some occasion, best not to argue.
One time I was sorting through old unlabeled VHS tapes hoping for precious family memories or hilarious bootleg porn or what have you, and I fire one up and it's a long stage with a row of people sitting in front of it. "Talent contest?" I think to myself and then crazy mid-90's techno starts blasting and I think "Beauty contest.....?".
And then my mild, soft spoken, egg-shaped aunt struts on to the stage in a neon pink bikini, tanned and oiled and swole as FUCK. She appears to nail her routine.

Give yourself a few weeks and then watch it again. You notice so many little background details few other anime would ever bother with.
I've watched it about twelve times. The first was the initial theatrical run in Japan. I'm a little obsessed with high-quality boutique animation.
