With the Blue Dragon, White Tigerzord, Ho-oh Pokemon, and Tor the Shuttlezord sealed away, the mystical Dragonballs are now in the hands of eight guardians. Only Kagome, now the Priestess of the Eternal Dragon, can decide the future of Hyrule!

FUNimation has stepped into the Blu-Ray arena (which is good, as HD-DVD is officially dead at this point), with a double feature of the eighth and tenth Dragonball Z movies, “Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan” and “Broly: Second Coming”. They’ve remastered the films, and used the Blu-Ray space to fit two flicks on one DVD, but can technical advantages improve the content? At it’s heart, Dragonball Z is about guys beating the hell out of each other, trying to make each other’s heart stop. The man hoping to destroy the Z Warriors this time is Broly, a Saiyan with a major desire to take out Goku because he cried as a kid.

Not kidding, that’s his motivation. It’s not a deep franchise.

I’ll admit… I shouldn’t be buying DVDs or BluRays. I have a stack of screeners for Toon Zone, shelves of DVDs unopened, and even a handful of BluRays not opened.

Thanks to Amazon having a “Buy Two, Get One” BluRay sale, I’ve ordered The Fifth Element (classic), Run Lola Run (classic), and the five-disc Blade Runner set (classic). Yes, they will jump ahead of Stir Of Echoes (why do I have this at all?) and Pearl Harbor (why do I have this on BluRay?), but will probably go to the stack until Senior Thesis is done… and the site is relaunched… and those screeners are reviewed… and Grand Theft Auto IV and Mario Kart Wii are beaten… and I’ve lost weight with Wii Fit…

Dammit.

An interesting article was found on NeoWin. Do you spend an excessive amount of time on the web? Well, according to Jerald Block M.D., you may suffer from internet addiction, a serious addiction that he feels should be included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V). He feels that anyone spending a lot of time surfing the net, playing online games, or browsing pornographic sites may suffer from this disorder. He goes on to say that there have even been deaths attributed to this addiction. Remember people, going to the bathroom is more important than your level in WoW.

In America, they’re “shut ins”. They are the people that contribute nothing to society. They exist only to take up space. They watch their cartoons, listen to the theme songs, play the video games. In Japan? They’re “hikikomori”. They lock themselves in their room or apartment. They contribute nothing to society. They sit on their message boards or web sites, believing that people might actually value their opinions, all without leaving their room, going to jobs, or getting an education.
