The Shrine

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Really, I just can't get used to this once-a-week shit for Naruto. I was so spoiled, being able to watch 10 episodes in a sitting, especially when they left it on a cliffhanger like ep 108. Now, it's like torture. I've tried keeping myself occupied with something else, but I have no more HD space left over (I only have 40 gigs) thanks to Naruto taking nearly half of it up (100 eps at 170 MB an ep :-). I want to finish off Full Metal Alchemist, but I can only find it in one 45 episode torrent. That's 8 gigs I just don't have right now. And it takes forever and a day to get it off of Overnet. I don't think I can go on much longer....what will I ever do?

And, for the record, yes I am THAT bored at work :-) Besides, we've gone a couple of days without a Naruto post, that's just wrong :-D</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Well FMA was licensed, so the main groups stopped subbing it near the end, some groups countinued, Fork, Spoon, and Nanashi.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>You're looking to buy a DVD burner, yes? This is the reason, yes? Problem solved.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I know, that's why it's not available at Animesuki. Suprnova has the 1-45 torrent, but that's like 9 gigs almost. I'm sitting on a 40 GB drive here, I'm dying :-)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>THis isn't the sole reason, no. But it's tough to have many video files with only a 40GB drive, particularly series. And with a burner, I'd get into authoring DVDs, not just burning stuff off.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Authoring DVDs is more trouble than it's worth. I'm going to get an spare PC to hook up to the TV and access the MP3/AVIs from my fileserver, instead.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Read the manga?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I've started on that, but I have to read it from the beginning, so it's gonna take me a while to catch up, especially now that Metroid Prime 2 and the other plethora of games are being released for Xmas.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>For me, it's more of something I'd like to learn how to do anyways, not just a means to an end. I like having the menus and stuff on my DVDs and would like to be able to create them</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>You don't HAVE to read it from the beginning, there are 0 changes between the anime and manga. The anime just adds stuff so you're not missing anything.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Of course, if he starts reading it from where the anime is now he'll end up having to wait for the weekly manga translations.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah...and they take breaks for 2 weeks far more often then the anime!....such is the life of an anime/manga lover. ;P</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>In that case, TMPGenc DVD Source Creator --> TMPGenc DVD Author --> Nero.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I just take care of entire sets of anime in spurts. I'm on episode 33 on Naruto (which I started on about last week), but I still need to see the DBGT series, and post-episode 60 of Kenshin.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Dude do yourself a favor and pretend you never heard of GT. It's that bad. As for Kenshin, yes you need to get that but keep in mind the anime was canceled before it really ended. :)</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>GT started off....OK. And then, well....it's become significantly less than OK. I'm hoping that it ends OK. ;)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I remember I was tellilng people Saito died from lung cancer from smoking too much and people actually believed it.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>merci</div>
