A nice, ice cold Dos Equis and some buffalo chicken wings.

Happy Birthday Kaname.

it's confirmed sy is a legend among legends in this fandom. And to think the reason why I met him was because of our mutual respect for Retake and Asuka fann-ness. Come to think of it, every time I met someone who turns out to be a "Legend" in a branch of the fandom, it's been bec...

:rofl: A'ight, here it is. * The original Rei-Horses tomfoolery is credited to Lucretius who based it off originally From the Rei of Campus Apocalypse. The phrase "Fools and Horses" comes from a somewhat old BBC sitcom. * Warning; you need to be an actual member fo the forum to see it...

Dunno what you're talking about; *I'm* NOT talking about a picture challenge topic thread started by SW-01 in the writers board section which has a special epilogue where Rei waxes philosophically about how horses make her feel... Giddy.

One thing I always wonder about Rx7 -- is he the same guy as Random1377? Word of God (and by God, I mean the inner workings and IPs of both Random and RX) point to the same geo location; an old wives tale that circles in the net is that Random1377 Rx7 took this name in the off chance that i...

Currently playing Pong and Crystal[s:3g7exgy7]Wolf[/s:3g7exgy7]Castle... Atari revivals for the win.

The fact that I can find (many) better fitting descriptors of her behavior helps in this regard. I agreed with you there, there are other better descriptors for Asuka than sociopathy, however I am trying to push for a more civil discussion on my behalf; jumping at the throat of someone with...

Why not say he's wrong? He is. Sociopathy doesn't work that way. Because 1. I have never met a real sociopath to talk from experience on how he works; books are good and all as references but I have no real experience diagnosing or working with such an individual to say otherwise. And 2. ri...

It's not that I don't believe sociopaths aren't capable of of sharing anything with others, but it's just that the way you are going at it just doesn't seem to click on what we know of Soryu so far... if I had seen Asuka manipulating everything and everyone to gain something, the...

I actually watched that scene again, and I still don't get why you keep coming back to this. It's certainly not the equivalent Shikinami's scene with Misato, where Asuka bears her soul in a way Soryu wouldn't dare. Asuka uses most of the conversation as an excuse to put down Shinji/...

The short answer is that to be a sociopath you need to not care about morality, while a narcissistic simply seeks self affirmation. More to the point, since a lot of the "characteristics" overlap, Soryu can also be diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder, since * Apparent lack of re...

The Asuka Sohryu from the manga by Sadamoto would fit in the sociopathy prognosis if you go by the behaviour she exhibits before she was discovered by the incredible and well-versed Shinji Ikari that appears in the manga. In the series, Asuka Soryu is more akin to someone with Narcissism. * An obvio...

I don't think a single scene of her showing the slightest passing interest in someone else invalidates her solipsism. Well, you were speaking in absolutes, which I just proved is flawed as applied in solipsism. Your exact words were "You'd never see Soryu have a conversation like Shiki...

You'd never see Soryu have a conversation like Shikinami does with Misato before the activation test, because Soryu doesn't give a shit about Misato (or anyone else). I dunno, the conversation Soryu had with Hikari before Toji got Bardiel'ed seemed to be NOT about her, but about...

Same body but different engine, if you will. And depending on who you talk to, what's "under the hood" is the most important element when it comes to both cars and characters. Going down the automotive route; Asuka Soryu is a V-8 engine; this means more gas, more money thrown for prop...

if some of you could take a scalpel and cut those Asuka Prime goggles you have surgically attached to your faces and please attempt to re-watch 1.11 and 2.22 again, I'd consider it a favor, even if you do reach the same conclusions. Condescending tone notwithstanding, I was just about to, but I...

Mileage varies; mine's still at 0.

10 bucks say it's gonna receive the "Misato's Flashback" treatment; stills, music, 10 seconds on screen, and that's it.

Depends on what the general stance is; if you don't want to see porn or think its there just for graphic value, then no, nothing of value is lost. If you think that the sex is actually an integral part of the story to show feelings in a more concise and less abstract way, then yes, something imp...
