- Kirk vs. Holmes Morgan asked: “Who has more luck with the ladies, Sherlock Holmes or Captain Kirk?” The answer is elementary once again, my dear Morgan, though this time it is obviously NOT Holmes.

They should consider porting some actually GOOD Anime Games over to America, not all this Naruto and Bleach crap. I’m not kidding, Japan gets like a new Anime Game every hour, The West only gets 500 Naruto games. IMPORT AWESOMER GAMES OVER!!
