Objection. That was a list of anime... not good anime. It contained Lain. That series caused me brain damage.... possibly literally. I say this, because I
tried to watch it in my then normal marathon... and the last thing I remember was her sister getting her brain erased via phone line and chanting 'Beeep,
beep, beep...' I also remember being glad that Microsoft is dominant and that Apple as the dominant computing force means telemarketers can erase your mind
if you pick up the phone and upload nothing, but a need to buy their products... I also remember lots of shots of power poles and buzzing and microchip based
drugs. I went from watching full seasons of Slayers and the like in one sitting, to barely being able to watch an hour of something without taking off for a
while from lack of concentration abilities. I managed get back most of my marathoning abilities, but still find myself randomly wandering off when I'm
trying to watch something. Which is extremely annoying to everyone.
The only other thing that came close was my attempt to read the book 'God Emperor of Dune'. It took me around 2 weeks to get past the prologue, read
nightly just before I slept. Actually, It was more passing out or something... probably a defense mechanism. Giving up at that point I discovered that I went
from reading around a hundred pages an hour of a paperback.... to a reading speed of 10-15 pages an hour of the same exact books. Its taken me years to get
back around half that speed.
Anything that causes me effects like I've been drawing from a Cthulu Brand, Deck of Many Mental Ailments can't be considered a good thing. Well just
to keep this more thread reinvent...
Imagine a world were recreational drugs have advanced to the point they can be programmed into microchips taken by contact will your moist tongue. Now imagine
that random microchips have special prizes!!! Prizes like super vampirism powers, a shiny new personality (circa 1980s video game enemies), and a wonderful
new religion involving the worship of your new grand master the MCP!!! *polite golf clapping ensues*
Yes its Hellsing, SEL, Tron crossover.
