very random ... ep 26 reminded me that after this series Shinbo started up on Pani Poni Dash. The art style and absurdist plot make a natural segue from TMP to PPD.
I also discovered my computer work box (not my gaming machine) is on its last legs as something I can watch DVDs on. It doesn't have any problem with avi/mkv/mp4 or even older DVDs but playing this DVD just rattled its little brains. The audio and subtitles got completely out of sync with the video.
Its an older box (an old ShuttleXP running w2ksp4).
My gaming box handled the DVD just fine of course... once I installed an actual DVD playing software ... the god damned Windows Media Player kept insisting I needed to update my video driver because there were "DRM digital protection issues" between the DVD-ROM and the video card. Bullshit
(my video driver is the latest from nvidea). I took it as a "preview" of what Vista has in store for everyone.
