'cause thar are moar geeky guys here, i think it's geek central really :p

I'd prefer that it stay out of the new actually, nothing like a little advertising on what we are doing to give em "incentive" to chase us down

if its any consolation most of the "amvers" I meet on you<a></a>tube are girls... :3
I think in the end it all evens out anyways.. either that or the girls are taking over both hobbies :3

and to me it's all the same thing because you are doing the same thing: syncing video up to audio the only real difference is the source.

Jesus said Amvs are Geeky so... Yeh. It's true.

I'm pretty sure He said, "...and the Geek shall inherent the earth".

I must say, the author started in about the .ORG and I was like, SSSSHHHHHH!!! DAMNIT, SHUT UP!!

Oh, and I am a geek. I don't look like one (folks are always shocked to their shoes when they find out my dirty little secret), but I am.

Alot of people don't look like a geek nor act like a geek but apparently if you have interest in anime or editing then that makes you a geek. I guess there are the good geeks and there are bad geeks. Meh, all the geeks I've known got picked on during school but were successful in life (the good geeks). Lets just hope alot of you go down that road.

I don't think it matters too much if they talk about the .org... A company just has to look at all the members it has (which is shown on the top right of the homepage) and realize they would be losing a hell of alot of business if they were the ones responsible for closing down the site.

Why? Cause the members of the site would be way to pissed off to ever want to buy anything from them again.

Good stuff though. The only thing I'm worried about is this site becoming overly popular by young teens or people who wont contribute money to it. Then the contributors will have to contribute more to keep it alive

You know I do beleive that's the first behind the back third person shooter I'd ever encountered. I for one am a new fan.

wait no, Space Harrier (Beyond the beyond was it?? It was basically Space Harrier 2) and a couple tank/ mecha sims. But other than that I can't think of any.

See Vlad.

And I bet M@Ds are even older.

Patrick Macias is the editor in chief of OTAKU USA magazine and the author of Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno: Tokyo Teen Fashion Subculture Handbook.

Err, this sounds geeky to me

I think he was just being sarcastic. Anyway, it was a good article.
