My PhD defense is in an hour and a half.  I think I'm as ready as I'm going to be and now I'm just sitting around freaking out...

I want a drink...

That's probably for the best.

I kind of like Umaro...

Crunchyroll has some weird policies.

They were having a "Black Friday" membership sale (that went all weekend...) and I decided to grab an All-Access membership for a year and try out this manga thing.  I had the anime-only membership already that renewed every month but with the sale this was actually cheaper per month.

My current anime membership wasn't set to expire until late December, but in all honesty I was fine with just losing it.  It works out to just a few bucks and I was still saving money overall.  But I've been going back and forth with CR's support people because apparently that isn't even an option.  Currently my All-Access membership is set to kick in when my anime membership expires...and no sooner.  If I want to try out CR's manga there's nothing I can do but wait (well, or pay more money to upgrade my current membership status directly, but that seems silly...).

What kind of powers does Clamman have?

This.  A thousand times this.

Oh man...

I've been going through the formalities to finish up my PhD.  I was shocked to find that the graduate school was claiming I didn't have enough credits, considering that I've taken all my required courses and have been here a very long time.  See, when you're a graduate student doing research you're supposed to register for a 'course' that's just doctorial research.  It's a book-keeping thing, really.  It's not like you take any tests or something...just a formality.  Not something you would normally think of as a course, even.  And this 'course' is always pass/fail, naturally.  But even so your advisor has to submit 'pass' to complete the formalities...which apparently mine has been neglecting to do for years.  And I didn't even notice because who the heck checks on the grades for their pass/fail doctorial research not-actually-a-course course?

Hopefully this is something we can get cleared up.  I mean, I was always registered for this 'course'.  If it were counted the way it's supposed to be I would have more than enough credits.  It's my advisor who dropped the ball...

Despite being Android-based I don't think Ouya even supports the normal Google Play store so probably not.  But there are tons of Android devices with TV-out.  And you can get a PS3 controller working with Android, though I think you need to root it first.

Have any of you guys who got the limited edition for this game been able to find CDDB info for the soundtrack?  I'm way to lazy to enter this stuff myself...

Doesn't look as bad as I feared, honestly.

Yeah, that's not making things personal at all...

OK, to be less flippant: Yggdrasil, it's OK if you like these games.  Seriously, I don't mind.  I don't think anyone here minds.  I don't like the FFXIII games myself, but it's perfectly OK to have different opinions about things.  I have liked plenty of things that aren't exactly popular.

The only thing I have a problem with is how you apparently feel the need to jump down the throat of anyone who says anything even kinda sorta negative about these games.  This thread is filled with examples of you doing that.  Frankly, it's kind of bizarre.  If you were responding to the criticisms raised that would be fine but most of the time you're not even saying anything new.  We already know how you feel, so why do you have to respond to every single criticism with the exact same thing?  What's the point?  It didn't change people's minds the first dozen times, so what is it going to do now?

German PS4 launch.

Do they not have preorders in Germany or something...

It's Kongou.  The best battleship ;)
