The Circle of Willis. It takes about zero creativity to see a horned human figure on it. I like to take bizarre stuff like this and use for texture or plots in fantasy games.

Wait, what? RPG.net, the most Fascist Regime of the internet, where free speech is outlawed if you don't agree with the hidden thoughts of the nearest mod, is supposed to have an extreme left bias?

It's representative of the degree to which fascism functions as a defense of the capitalist mode of production.

I have decided that religious revelation is the alien abduction of the 19th century.

Why the hell is the political leaning of rpg.net even worth including in the article?

I keep on meaning to track down the old Beast Wars cartoon and rewatch it to see if it's still as awesome as I remember.

Shrapnel is clearly having a negative influence on us.

Otherwise I don't know how to explain why I was I was inspired to do this.

It is indeed still as awesome; perhaps it even exceeds your memory of it's awesomeness by 1.45 billion megafonzies.

So how about the Japanese Beast Wars sagas? I remember seeing one episode of the show a decade or so ago. Is the actual show any good and where would I be able to find this stuff?

Shrapnel · Post by **Shrapnel** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 2:52 pm

Well, I myself haven't seen any of the Japanese Beast Wars shows (Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo), but I do know that they are much more humorous in tone and more geared toward a younger audience*. However, from what I've read about it on the wiki, it doesn't seem to be all that bad. The toys, however, are almost all redecos of older Beast Wars figures, shellformers, awesomely racist combiners, or sausages.

As for where to find episodes... as far as I am aware, neither show has been released on VHS or DVD outside of Japan, so I think your best bet would be to track down a fan sub on YouTube.

*Takara decided that they should dub Beast Wars as a "funny" show geared towards small children. I have no idea why.

I even wrote a poem inspired by "The Tay Bridge Disaster", for homework at my creative writing class. I'm putting it here for all of you to read, because I don't like people.

I wrote:Beautiful poetry book of the silv'ry day
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety poems were read today
On the last Tuesday fine
Which will be forgotten for a very long time.

'Twas about seven o' clock at night,
And the mind blew with all its might,
And the words came pouring down,
And the dark paragraphs seem'd to frown,
And the Demon of the Literature seem'd to say-
"I'll blow down some poetry this day."

When I left Downtown,
My heart was light and felt no sorrow.
But Boreas blew a terrific gale,
And many of my thoughts with fear did say-
"I hope God will send me safe across the homework of today."

But when the Orange Line came near to Back Bay,
Boreas he did loud and angry bray,
And shook the central girders of my mind that day
On the last Tuesday fine.
Which will be forgotten for a very long time.

So the train sped on with all its might,
And Forest Hills soon hove in sight,
And my heart felt light,
Thinking I could enjoy a more exciting tome that year
With my books at home I lov'd most dear,
And wish them all a happy Mid Year.

So the train mov'd slowly along the tracks of Bay,
Until it was about midway,
Then the central girders of my attention span with a crash gave way,
And down went my concentration, so they say.
The Storm Fiend did loudly bray,
Because ninety poems had been forgotten away,
On the last Tuesday fine,
Which will be forgotten for a very long time.

As soon as the catastrophe came to be known,
The alarm from neuron to neuron was blown,
And the cry rang out all o'er the town,
O shit! I've only got one more day to do this!
And a passenger train from Downtown
Which fill'd my heart with sorrow,
And made me for to turn pale.
Because none of the poems were sav'd to tell the tale
How the disaster happen'd on last Tuesday fine,
Which will be forgotten for a very long time.

It must have been an awful sight,
To witness in the dusky moonlight,
While the Storm Fiend did laugh, and angry did bray
Along the Rail of the Silv'ry Back Bay
Oh! ill-fated Rail of the Silv'ry Back Bay,
I must now conclude my lay
By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay,
That my attention span would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with more interesting buttresses,
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the more interesting the read we build,
The less chance we have of being killed.

Powerful stuff, eh?
