I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely terrified of this show, and even more terrified of it’s creators.

It’s the first “official” episode of ANIPAC. In a nutshell, expect us (not always in the same episode) to discuss:
* Retro gaming/movies
* Anime
* Tales from Asia
* “Classic” AnimePacific Clips
* Miscellaneous Geekery
Shootin’ The Breeze
We discuss the history that contributed in the eventual creation of ANIPAC as well as a slight backstory into how me and Alex met.
How to gauge a douchebag:
It’s easy, if you drive this car, then you are a douchebag! Well, more specifically a slightly bigger, bulkier version of this car that in fact, negates the benefits of actually having a cubed shape car and exists solely for the purpose of being, “cool”.

In the future, mankind finally transcends the superficial anxiety of worrying about people seeing your crotch outline. The scourge of camel-toe anxiety is officially vanquished.

We also discuss our impressions of the far away, year 2000. Check out the opener for Beyond 2000 which is about 25 seconds into the video.
It’s a wrap!
We’ll be back; we don’t know when; but we’ll be back!
Just to follow up on my previous post, here is a Japan Rail 40th Anniversary advertisement.
Translation of the Narrator:
Safe, punctual, comfortable, and convenient,
the Tokaido Shinkansen is, and will ever be.
While the new episode gets edited, I thought I would post about this exciting development in America. President Obama officially rolled out the administrations High Speed Rail plan.
The $13 billion was already announced (in the Stimulus and Budget), but the fact the administration put on this big show, with Vice-President Joe Biden, Transportation secretary Ray LaHood, and President Obama himself all giving speeches signals major administration support. For 25 years there has been talk about bringing real High Speed Rail to North America, but it has been mostly just that - talk. But finally there is a President who is willing to put some political clout behind it.
Now, if only the Prime Minister here in Canada would do the same thing. High Speed Rail between Toronto - Ottawa - Montreal has been talked about for years. Let’s do it!
Read up on it:
