From: TheCodeisBosco | #039 I'm glad Development Arrested is getting a fair amount of love, because to me, that's probably my favorite TV finale. It was pretty much everything I could have asked for.
It's definitely leagues better than I would have ever expected from a show abruptly cancelled early in the season.

From: WaIker | #063 I chuckled when Ulti said WoW was a flop. Maybe he didn't like the game but 10 million recurring subscribers still is in no way a flop.
I was going to give him crap that he was being way too obvious for anyone to seriously respond to that.

I don't give a f*** whether a fanbase is good or not if I like something. I'm not going to pretend not to like Earthbound just because there are some insufferable fans (which seems to especially be the case on B8).
It does have the opposite effect, though. If a fanbase has an exceedingly bad reputation, I'm a lot less likely to give something a chance than I would have otherwise. All it really takes is one person whose opinion I trust or someone otherwise giving me a logical explanation of why I should give something a chance. But it definitely kept me from giving a lot of anime a chance for a very long time (and I still don't watch that much).

I really only find that true in the second half of it (plus the trampoline episode), and only about half of those occasions. Besides that, he'll usually have the one or two great lines an episode, but then not really add much past that.
Abed > Troy > Annie >= Dean > Jeff > Britta > Pierce > Chang > Shirley
It's hard for me to satisfyingly place Chang. If I separate Chang into seasons, it's something like:
From: mnkboy907 | #163 I'd say in Season 3, Britta has consistently been better than Jeff, too.
I agree (even if her transition to this point makes no damn sense), but not to the point of putting her ahead of Jeff overall just yet. I might change my mind after the season is over, though. It's enough to make me more comfortable putting her ahead of Pierce, though.

From: TheCodeisBosco | #030 True! On a side note, if there's one thing I've taken from the nominations so far, it's this: Remedial Chaos Theory will almost certainly be the main 1-seed for the Comedy bracket.
That's one of the only nominations I've figured out so far, myself.

From: mnkboy907 | #143 A lot of people really didn't like Blankets and Pillows, and I can't grasp why. So good.
I was not aware of this. Outside this board, the only ones that really got hated during the Spring were the first 2, especially Contemporary Impressionists. Though I think people were too concerned about renewal to comment too much on one of the more recent ones. Or I just didn't pay attention.

I didn't really realize how little Danny Pudi and how much the rest of the cast is actually in the episode until I stopped and thought about it. They do a great job of playing Abed playing them.

From: Ayvuir | #191 Also, I have just thought of a cracking spin off idea which shouldnt take that long to do if people aren't completely burnt out of Babes Contest action?
A Babes Contest WORLD CUP!
You can nominate up to 5 countries, and nominate a team of 3 girls for each country. Country/Girls with the highest nominations go in to a 16 team World Cup. 4 Groups of 4 and then knock out stages with top 2 from each group qualifying.
God I am a GENIOUS.
If people are keen on that idea I'll start it up toorrow or something
I like the idea in theory, but this sounds really annoying to manage for your sake.
It also sounds like an idea for a much larger voting base.

From: IngmarBirdman | #182 B8's collective favorite takes the crown! Despite the tie, consensus appears to be that Boufhal would have performed better against Stacy. There's always next year... Stacy lost in the championship last year and also won in 2009.
I'm not sure how much better she would have done today, as newcomers seemed to favor Brie over her as you pointed out yesterday, and they also seem to favor Kiebler above Brie. 2 rounds ago she probably could have beaten Kiebler outright, though.

From: IngmarBirdman | #182 Well, I voted for her based on appearance but it sounds like her performances and body of work went the extra mile. Someone else can explain that better than me.
Simply put, I think she looks better than she does in the photos that usually show up each match. Not that Ayvuir is cherry-picking, I just think a lot of her photoshoots (especially the earlier ones) aren't spectacular.
The only one that does her justice is the black and white one (which does have a color version, but it's harder to find). Oddly, the one you just used in particular is one of my least favorite ones.

Interesting trends I got bored and mapped out that are certainly meaningless:
If you discount everyone who voted today who didn't vote in either semi-final match, the score becomes 20-19 Brie. If you also discount people who voted in only 1 semi-final (but leave in a few I know voted many times), it's something along the lines of 17-16 Kiebler (that one might be off, I didn't finish going through those).
If you go back to Brie/Boufhal and toss out the people who didn't show back up today, that match becomes 19-19 (when you factor in Natwaf's voiced abstention).
Anyways, congrats to Kiebler.

I just thought the apparent vehemence and ambivalence going on was a bit ridiculous.
I was never literally trying to call into question people's votes, just for the record. Just that the impression solely from what people were saying sure made it seem that they didn't give a s***, when I'm fairly confident that people actually do like Kiebler (she's won before after all). I never meant to drag it out into this level of drama.

I expect they will stop on-disc DLC, but confiscate all hard copies of any Ace Attorney game, destroy them, and recycle the scrap to attempt to offset the loss in profits.

From: agesboy | #001 I would have dropped ochem but them I'd have completely f***ed myself over by dropping down to 11 hours meaning I wouldn't be full time anymore, so yeah
Unless it's a specific scholarship designation, full-time counts for how many hours you paid for. If you receive a Withdraw (ie, the course still appears on your transcript), the credit hours still count.

From: Panthera | #056 Which is the exact same thing. Whether you vote because you think Keibler is the hottest thing ever (which is pretty much my reasoning) or because you don't think Brie is all that attractive, either way you're voting Keibler because you think she's the better looking of the two.
Not really. From people's comments, I severely get the impression a lot of people would have abstained if this were before she beat Boufhal.

From: Panthera | #052 This is what you're going with? Thinking Brie is less attractive than other women in this contest means you'd vote for Rosie O'Donnell over her? Really now?
I clearly wasn't exaggerating or anything.

"One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3
It just seems to have gone way beyond the merits of one contestant over another. The only people that have really had anything good to say about Kiebler are some of the ones voting for Brie. And the flip side, the only complaints about Kiebler are coming from people voting for her.

"One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3
Apparently this round is contest/debate. I'm convinced at least a quarter of Kiebler's votes could just as easily go to Rosie O'Donnell judging from people's attitudes on the situation.
That's not to say that people voting for Kiebler shouldn't be, but besides Vlado (a spade's a spade), I really don't see anyone making this big of a deal if Boufhal had won. Lighten up, guys. So what if people don't share your tastes? Does it really make the women you find hot any less hot because 27 people did not agree with you?
If you really want to add something, how about pics/vids of one of the ladies.
Speaking of which, since you didn't put the vids from last round in:
