And their cousin Naga Saki.
He was a fat man
In the book snowcraah by Neil Stephenson the main character is named âHiro Protagonistâ. Yes itâs a real book, and one of my favorites, by a real author.
I like it, as a person who doesnât really pay attention to most names in fiction, and primarily focuses on the story itâs trying to tell.
Donât make it too obvious like âBusty LoveInterestâ and âVillain McMustashfaceâ.

Kojima you beautiful bastard
Haha you know Iâm a kojima fan!!
If you like techno-fantasy I highly recommend snowcrash. For years Iâve wanted a game of the first chapter, basically a guy is delivering pizza but gas is really expensive so all he has is a skateboard and a harpoon gun with an electromagnet. He basically shoots the harpoon at cars and gave them pull him towards the destination, it sounds like a cool video game like a race but you donât control speed only which car you are connected to.
Donât worry that didnât spoil anything. The book goes into a totally different direction with technology and science.
The guy in the car getting harpooned is delivering the pizza, the skateboarder is just hitching a free ride.
Wait, are you correcting me or giving social commentary? I thought the guy on the skateboard was delivering pizzas but it has been over a decade since I read it so I may be wrong
I dont remember who was delivering the pizzas but I remember Hiro was driving the car that got harpooned.
Just a slight correction that Hiro is driving the car and delivering the pizzas. Heâs trying to shake the skateboarder (who is a courier) loose and deliver the pizza on time.
Iâve said that before too, like I would love a novel thatâs just about the pizza delivery side of things, he crammed so much fascinating backstory into that one chapter, then the book completely changes direction and never looks back. That whole sequence with all the crazy technology and just the tone in general was just so badass.
Donât get me wrong, the rest of the book is pretty awesome too, but that first chapter is wild just on its own.
I vaguely remember a skateboarding game from the 90s where the character could grab onto cars. But it was probably on something like Sega Mega and pretty primitive. Mightâve been one of the Simpsons games.
Thatâs it! The description sounds pretty fun actually, I might need to fire the game up myself.
My nagging feeling that it was âRoad Rashâ with a skateboard or skates didnât deceive me, as apparently the âRRâ engine was reused for this game.
MinnesotaGoddamThe difference is thatâs trying to be stupid and funny. Rowling is just, I donât know, lazy, or uncreative, or racist. One, or multiple, of those at least.
Cho Chang. is so fucking wild that her editor didnât go, âWtf?â
That was the age of âif you point out racism, youâre the real racistâ.
GodricI bought this book minutes before reading this comment. The AI-captured advernet is here, and they have played me like a fiddle
Nope, Iâm not an Ai advert. I read the book and still have it. I hope you like the book. I also recommend a diamond age, also known as a primer for young girls.
I just looked that up and it says Shujinko was fooled by someone named Damashi, which means trick.
Pretty much all anime names are stupid as hell too. Dragon Ball famously names all characters around foods (and sometimes other themes like underwear, for example). In other anime, every character has a name that just so happens to be related to their special ability or personality. Yusuke Urameshi from Yuyuhakusho basically is âBoo Ghost-boyâ.

Ricky RigatoniImplying sheâd even attempt to resist.
I mean, this is one where you donât have to make up an example.The only Asian character in the books is named Cho Chang.
And the movie portrayal was character assassination implying she was the one who ratted out Dumbledoreâs Army.
Fuck I forgot about that. Those movies kinda suck ass past the first two.
Order of the Phoenix is brutal but I think Half Blood Prince from a cinematography perspective is the best in the series. Prisoner of Azkaban was also really well done.
Oh yeah Prisoner was great.
Going to have to disagree with you on HBP. I went through a huge Potterhead phase as a teen and I fell asleep during that movie every time I tried to watch it.
At the time, the only other movie I had ever fallen asleep during while trying to watch was After Earth. So, admittedly, I kinda wrote the HBP movie off for that reason. But Iâve tried to go back and revisit it, and I just canât keep my eyes open!
Order of the Phoenix took the longest book and made the shortest film.
Are you kidding? The first two films were shot in the most boring way possible, which is a bit odd considering the director Chris Columbus had previously made the two âHome Alonesâ and âMrs. Doubtfireâ. I still regret that I didnât know of VLCâs playback speed adjustment when I watched âHPâ.
Then they got proper good director Alfonso CuarĂłn, who shown how a fantasy film could actually look and feel. After which of course he wasnât hired again, and instead in one more iteration they found David Yates, who churned out the remaining four films like it was a factory job for him.
Nope, not kidding. Clearly we disagree. It seems Mr. CuarĂłnâs look for a good fantasy film was a washed-out blue.
That said, I still think PoA is still the best non-Columbus movie - I just enjoy the coziness of the first two. Itâs what Hogwarts felt like to me when reading the books, so I naturally like seeing that brought to screen.
yea same, the first two are whimsical which is completely in line with the vibe of the books theyâre based on. The third one is also very cool, and I think the rest are entirely forgettable
I call the first two âunoffical Christmas moviesâ
I mean, the themes of âPoAâ are somewhat more mature, so the noirish look was warranted. And from what I remember, it wasnât just a blue-and-orange palette, like in many modern films, but a pretty colorful one inside that noir feel.
CuarĂłn also doesnât do such palettes everywhere. âY tu mamĂĄ tambiĂ©nâ is very colorful, while the dystopian âChildren of Menâ is accordingly subdued. So it was a choice appropriate to the events in the film, just like the installments later in the series also get darker.
