Well, that's hard to say. But simply, when I try to start the game (clicking on the new game button), the screen goes black.
I don't know why. I installed the software and thought that's all I had to do to run it, though.
>>13
Yeah, because I don't have any game consoles such as PS2 and Wii.
Plus I'm poor at action games, inclusive Action RPGs. In fact, I tried playing Ys the oath in felgana, but the first Boss defeated me
(so couldn't go any further than that. lol).
Anyway, compared to consumer games, it's really tough to find a good and interesting one.
The other day, I stumbled onto one of the Square Enix's websites designed to advertise Last Remnants on PC, but it
seemed still up in the air when the game was supposed to be released.
Hmm, if falcom completed developing the legend of heros 7 now, I would get a copy of it soon, though..

I forgot whether this is a joke or a real story but this may show one aspect of
Japan's English education. A Japanese teacher were making his students
repeat English sentences after him.
Teacher: All right, repeat after me. "My name is Ken."
Students: "My name is Ken."
Teacher: "I'm 14 years old."
Students: "I'm 14 years old."
-----the repeating practice goes on--------
Teacher: "I played tennis after school."
Students: "I played tennis after school."
Students are so shy that they just kept mumbling each sentence after him.
The teacher got irritated by that and said, SPEAK OUT LOUD, OK?
Teacher: "I'm very tired."
Students: "I'm very tired."
The teacher said to his student, "Repeat with more energy." Then the teacher read the sentense
at the top of his lungs. The lesson went on... How on earth a tired person say the line
with energy.

Books with a CD of his speech sell a lot in Japan. They say that the
total number of the kind of books would be impossible unless not only English
learners but people who don't study English had bought it.
One news show aired about how people use the CD. One barber plays the
CD while doing her job.
She doesn't study English but she said in an intervew that the speech

In the U.S., filibusters only happen in the Senate.
Originally, a filibuster was a very long speech on any topic by a Senator
that prevented a bill before the Senate from being acted upon. The speech
could be given by one Senator, or a series of Senators. The record for
longest filibuster by one person is held by Sen. Strom Thurmond, who spoke
continuously for 24 hours and 18 minutes.
Now, a Senator only has to indicate he's filibustering and doesn't have to
actually make the speech.
The majority party can end a filibuster by voting for "cloture" (end of
debate), but it needs 3/5 of the Senate voting for it to pass. That is
why a party that holds 60 seats in the Senate is said to have a
"filibuster-proof majority", since it has enough Senators to vote for cloture.

oh,‘che’is pronunced like ‘shay’?
It doesn't seem to obey the generally accepted rule of English pronunciation.
Maybe French influence, as someone said.
Well, do you hear the phrase‘often-stated phrase’ in your everyday life?
Both of them mean the same thing when translated into Japanese.
91:米人
09/02/09 13:24:52
>>89
A filibuster could (in theory) last indefinitely, as long as there
aren't enough votes for cloture and there are enough Senators to keep
it up. (The Senate Majority Leader can force the minority to
do the traditional spoken filibuster.)
In practice, the longest recent filibuster was 75 hours, on the
Civil Rights bill of 1964. That filibuster was broken when
the Senate Majority leader refused to refer any other business to
the Senate, and the filibustering minority couldn't continue it.
That forced a vote on the bill.
Most of the time, the minority party threatens a filibuster, and
if there aren't enough votes for cloture, then the bill is shelved
without being put to a vote.
92:米人
09/02/09 13:35:45
>>90
We never use the phrase "often-stated phrase". It's easier to just
say "cliche". We have also turned it into an adjective "cliched",
a synonym of "hackneyed" (overused, commonplace).
And we like our French words--cliche, bureau, menu, ala carte,
croissant, etc.

Too bad that English doesn't allow me to write in a more feminine manner.
In that respect, Japanese is much more useful.
Yes, I'm a woman.
You have it exactly right--the filibuster gives the minority party some power
to block bills. No one wants to get rid of it, because eventually both parties
are in the minority and they want that power. The filibuster is great for blocking
legislation, but it doesn't allow anyone to introduce new legislation. The minority
party is pretty much out of luck there, unless the majority party likes the bill
(in which case they'll introduce their own version, so they can take the credit).
Our system of government with all of the checks and balances sometimes leads
to nothing getting accomplished.
>>94
I checked that term on Google; you actually do see "often stated phrase"
in (more formal) writing. But in speech and casual writing,
you would hear or see cliche. If your exam involves an essay, I would
stay with "often-stated phrase"; it sounds more refined.
It isn't exactly taught to us, but there are formal and informal
ways to express yourself in English, and we adjust our vocabulary
accordingly.

The word is derived from "Hick", a shortened form of "Richard".

Another modern-day shortened form of "Richard" is "Dick". Democrats
called President Richard Milhous Nixon "Tricky Dick", for example.

"Sunshine Cafe". Their shtick is that it's homestyle Japanese cooking, so no sushi like every

Actually I have pretty Japanese week ahead of me as my family is going to a nice sushi place for

I searched for this chain of words on the web: (Subject) had my foot stepped on(.)
But contrary to my expection, as few as about one-hundred cases were gained.
This result made me wonder how English speakers express such situation as someone stepped on their foot verbally.
(btw‘my foot was stepped on by someone’seemed to be gramatically wrong sentense)
Can you give my clue to solve this ?

"Someone stepped on my foot" and "my foot was stepped on by someone"
mean the same thing.
The difference is, the first sentence is in the active voice, and the
second sentence is in the passive voice.

I knew that "confirm" is same meaning as "make sure".
But I have hardly heard "confirm", and I have heard "make sure" very very frequently.
Isn't it formal word?
By the way, I think "make sure" has many meanings.
I think that it's similar to "check" and "I will do it certainly that ... " and etc...
By the way, A-Rod admitted using steroids.
In Japan, it was reported, because Baseball is very popular.
Many Japanese people are looking forward to WBC(World Baseball Classic).
But now popularity of Baseball comes to fall down.
I'm afraid this situation may accelerate.

You live a culturally rich life.
>That took about 2 minutes so I still have 13 minutes of fame left!
I don't understand what this means. I need to read the wikipedia article
to understand this? Anyway, I can imagine it's troublesome you can only
manage to post successfully one out of ten tries because of 2ch's blocking
IPs from overseas.
The leading actors of "High school musical" came to Japan the other day for their
sales promotion campaign for their DVD, or movie or something like that.
I checked the male leading actor's name and searched him in Japanese Wikipedia and
it says that he's going to enroll USC, which if I remember correctly,
is your first choice. Did you know that?
I know USC requires excellent academic record for students to
enroll in. I doubt he is good at studying because he is busy with his
acting carrer. Maybe his recommendation letters from teachers and
extra carricular activities and his carrer as a pro in acting is evaluated highly
by the uni's addmission office? Any observation?
I don't blame you if you don't answer me to think your access to 2ch
is restricted.

It's a reference to the expression "15 minutes of fame".
The expression itself comes from a statement made by Andy Warhol in
1968: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."
Warhol's view of the media was that it could enable any person to
become famous--if only for a short while.
Nowadays, a period of short-lived fame is often referred to as a
person's "15 minutes of fame".

Though 金玉 is a word in Japan that means testicles, 金玉 is a word in China that means "important thing as gold and treasure" .

Two boxes of chocolate I got was from family member and ralative.
There's nothing romantic to it.
Christmas Eve (, which is considered a romantic day for Japanese couples)
and Valentine's days) are the most annoying day to me, who don't have
girlfriend.

I didn't do something which would make me happy on Valentine's Day.
High schoold boys would be looking forward to the day, expecting some attractive girls come near to and give
chocolates to them.(things don't go as they expected in most cases though.)
I spent the day just like a normal day except the fact that I was given chocolate by my mother.
I ate it up on receiving it from her^^;

We don't have the Valentine Day/White Day custom here, so anyone can
give a Valentines Day gift to anybody.
Most elementary school students here celebrate Valentines Day with a class
party, and everyone brings in valentines for everyone in the whole class.
(Usually these are cheap little cards with cartoon characters, and many people
put a small piece of candy in it).
But when you get to be an adult, then it turns into this big romantic deal,
which kind of takes the fun out of it for many people.
Yesterday, I read a most amazing letter written by a man to "Dear Abby" (advice
columnist) about how was sick of Valentines Day being only for couples, and
that we should revive the custom of giving valentines to everyone, just like
children do.
I must say I was impressed. Here is the link, if you want to read it:

I didn't know kids give a small Valentine gifts to every classmate in US.
I don't agree with your idea 100%.
It might be a good idea to give Valentine gifts and show affection
to loved ones even you are grown up.
But in reality, you don't feel so much affection to all of your coworkers.
You like some, you don't like some. So it's odd to give every coworkers
a present. Kids should be educated for them to get along well with each and
every classmate so the custom of giving a small candy to every classmate is good from
educational standpoint, but that idea can't be applied to grown-ups.
In Japan, as you may know, many female workers give chocolates to
their coworkers and bosses even if they aren't loved ones for them.
That type of chocolate is called "Giri choco," meaning something like
obligation chocolate. Some companies decided to ban the custom because
it is a burden to female workers and giving giri choco is just by
courtesy without any affection. I think this is a good move.
I buy the idea of giving chocolate or whatever on Valentines Day to your loved ones
such as your bf/gf, relatives, familiy members, people whom you really
feel affection to, but giving to coworkers just for obligation is odd.
We have custom of sending New Year's greeting cards to coworkers,
sending summer and year-end gift to boss in workplace.
Some companies told their workers to stop these customs anymore because
these customes are burdens to workers.

I agree with your idea.
By distributing chocolates to everybody without discrimination, every one feels happy, and
doesn't have to suffer from unneccessary worries or despair.
I knew first that not only women but men can give presents on Valentine's Day.
If I gave chocolates to someone here, people would consider me to be pretty odd person.

He's singing in a reggae style. It sounds vaguely Jamaican, although the

That reminded me of one the dialogues in my Japanese textbook.
The clueless American (Johnson-san) gets very excited when a Japanese
co-worker gives him some chocolate on Valentine's Day until one of his
Japanese male coworkers tells him about giri-choco.
You're right; that would be a big pain to be obligated to give everyone chocolate.
I guess I would just give relatives & friends cards.

Men are lucky in Japan, they only have to give stuff to the women they
get something from. Unless they are really popular and get chocolate from
lots of women. That probably only happens in fiction though.

The text book sounds good introducing Japanese modern customs.
>Men are lucky in Japan, they only have to give stuff to the women they
get something from.
Today, girls tell a boy they're secretly in love with that she loves him face to face
or by writing a letter or something on any day but long time ago,
when that's not so common, Valentine's day was a once in a year opportunity
for her to muster up courage to show her love to a boy they love
by giving a chocolate. Even today, I think Valentine day serves as
a day for a shy girl to muster up her courage to ask a boy to go out
with her. Giving a serious chocolate with a letter to him can start
romance with him.
There are very popular high school students who get more than two
chocolates which aren't giri-choco but serious ones.
If he's not interested in any girls who give him chocolate, and decides
he'll go out with none of them, he doesn't gives anything in return
on "White Day" to any of them. If he decides to go out with one of them,
he starts seeing go with her from the day and gives something in return to her on White Day.

I was given only one serious chocolate by a girl when I was a high
school student. She was one of my classmates but I hadn't talked much with her.
She wasn't a cute girl (actually, she was kind of ugly. lol) but I gave her
something (I forgot what it was) to her on White Day because I thought ignoring her
would made her feel bad.
I told my friends about me giving her something in return. They all
said, "why did you do that? You didn't have to." I think I was a polite
boy. I couldn't run over her feeling to me.
She gave me a hand made chocolate with a letter. The letter said she wants to go out
with me. I handed her a letter with something. I wrote I've never imagined
going out with anybody. (That was true becasue I was shy in those days.) So, I can't go out with
you but thank you very much for your gift. I wrote 弓道 がんばって。
It was a few months later that I found out she belonged to 剣道部,
not 弓道部。This explains how much I didn't know about her. Uniforms
of 弓道 and 剣道 looks similar.

What she gave me was 8 pieces of chocolate in a box and on top of each piece,
one alphabet was written with edible addtives or something.
The eight alphabets were v, y, I, o, e, l, o, u. I didn't understand what
that meant first, but didn't take much time to understand what they meant.
I'm not boasting. Mind you, she was an ugly girl. But I have to admit that
even a present from an ugly girl like her made me feel proud of myself. hehe

If you are a school boy, you may be on pins and needles on the day
in the hopes that a girl to your liking would give you chocolate
even if she hasn't communicate with you so much.
Moreover, maybe you wish that a shy and submissive girl who was secretly in love with you
would abruptly appear in front of you from nowhere.
But I warn you that, Japanese girls are, in general, extremely clever, as far as the dating game.
She would at least try to ask you various questions beforehand,
if she wishes to give you her serious chocolate.
Actually, your Valentine's Day has already ended before it really starts.
It's predetermined harmony base on your past behavior.
But you can't notice this fact when you are a kid.
Eather that, or you just don't want to realize it.

Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who was not able to catch it.
This led to popping up another question in mind.
I wonder if English speakers never fail to catch any dialect English, I mean like American people
and new zealanders have deffinetely no trouble understanding each other just because of accents (apart from specific words).
Just to make my point clear, concerning the japanese language, I don't think I can alway catch what dialect Japanese speakers say,
especially elderly people with strong accents. And I wonder something like this also applies to English speakers.

In Japan, it was called "航空機！".
It had Japanese subtitles, but even I can tell that a lot of the dialogue wasn't translated exactly.
I can't blame the translators, though. A lot of the jokes were untranslatable.
English puns.
That sort of thing.
Still, when I watch fansubbed Japanese television, the jokes I like the most are those kinds of jokes--
The ones that don't translate into English, and the translator has to stick a note at the top explaining it.

Come to the "East Asia" board of 2ch. You can learn a lot about finance and
get a new insight into the monetary system(s). Some of the posters there have
absolutely broad knowlege on that. Surprisingly, some specialist in finance has been
analysing data. I guess you'll be shocked to see China is walking on the thin ice in terms of
money. Come quick and see the truth.

Are there many economists in Japan? I remember hearing that in Japanese college they don't offer specific majors but rather broader majors so you would be a Mathematics major rather than Economist. Is this true?

The Japanese drunk financial minister was forced from his post due to that press conference on the other day,
and share prices on the Tokyo Stock Exchange took a beating.
I don't know why he must be so much as to resign. Indeed, he gave a bad account of himself, but in fact, he was very competent financial expert.
Investors were honest, contrary to the media.

I'm not so sure those self-procraimed "Economists" are trustworthy, especially those on TV (I'm talking about the Japan's case).
In Japan, people can be certified to become financial expert if they have knowledge and pass certain national exams.
And several people of such sort happened to post in 2ch.
Compared to Japanese Massmedia, they only believe in objective data analysis and lead to conclusion.
That's why they are far trustworthy. Among them, two guys have some finance books published, and one of them started
practicing finance. That was sort of surprising. Now is the time we can kick corrupt media.

Of course, what terrifies me the most is that this current crisis is being
used by the international Left as an excuse to EXPAND government
spending, even though this crisis was a direct result of government
having too strong a hand in private businesses and forcing banks
to make loans at untenable rates.

But his humor sense must be no differenct from american.

We don't usually have a problem understanding most American accents and
dialects, but occasionally something unusual will come along. Just like I
imagine most Americans would have a problem understanding people from Glasgow
or Newcastle (because we find it hard enough).

Was very nervous at first, but it went pretty well. Learned many things.
My Japanese is much worse than I thought it was (but now have incentive to
practice more). I'm a "cat's tongue". And Japanese people who have never

Goddamn.
Hey all, long time no see. I'm way behind in reading all the posts, so sorry
if someone replied to my last post and I didn't respond. I had a long weekend
so I went up to New York City for the past few days to look at New York University
and Columbia University. I was hoping I'd be able to post here using my cousin's
internet but his ISP is blocked as well.
Funny story: According to URLﾘﾝｸ(www.washingtonpost.com) moot, the creator of 4chan.org, is applying to both NYU and Columbia
for next year, so maybe I'll run into him if we end up at the same school lol.
So how's everything here? I see the dismal economy spawned some discussion.
Not good news for college scholarships =(

I just talked to my american friend and she said they dont say "proper"which means 適切な in america
and british are more likely to say it.
I didnt know that. I had felt right with proper for 適切な.
but she said they say "right" instead of "proper" in america.
like "Do a right thing." not "Do a proper thing."
What else can i say besides "right" in american english?
328:名無しさん＠英語勉強中
09/02/19 21:41:15
So it felt proper to say 'proper'?
"Correct" is OK sometimes, but a lot of Americans use "right" more often. "Proper" is uncommon, but it is still used.

I saw somewhere in a book that, "appropriate" isn't a good word
for meaning something "proper". There wan't an explanation about
why it's not appropriate. I thought the reason why it's not
appropriate is because it's a bigger word than proper.
Could anyone give me a good explanation why it's not proper?

You read some weird books. 'Appropriate' is fine, but again, it's uncommon outside of formal or business usage.
I guess for general conversation, it might be a little pretentious, but it should still be OK.

Actually I had read that web side before you read.
I had the same impressions as you had.
Eventhough he is not japanese as you pointed out but japanese American,
he is still non-white asiastic race.
>it is also a kind of a white supremacist group.
yes. In wikipedia it is explained that hell's angels membership is limited
to white people only. (oh, now the description of the requirement being white
is dropped from wikidepia. But it must be a tacit agreement in their circle)
I wonder why and how Mr.Fuki succeeded in entering Hell's Angels.
We can see typical american white chicks in Fuki's site.
I guess that in general white thugs are prone to be offended by a asian surrounded by
white chicks.
There is a biker-gang group which has international chapters which
include non-white nation.
The name is banditto? Correctly Bandidos. I saw a group of non-white
bikers on their web site.
Motorcycle clubs, especially like Hell's Angels seem to be
gang or mafia in reality, bike lovers on the surface.
In japan biker gang(暴走族) is regarded as one gate to yakuza
or inferior to yakuza. I guess most people will proceed to professions
other than yakuza though.
I wonder whether biker gangs in America can be attacked by professional gangs or
both usually keep off each other.

Japanese biker clubs and people of those ones looks like joke.
Some are too short for riding harley!
Short stature and short legs. I want to say in Japanese "バイクに乗せられてる"
or "バイクに負けてる".
Literally "he is ridden by a bike" or "bike overwhelms him".

If I remember correctly, his first choice is USC. His second choice include
Ivy league on the east coast. He's done with all processes regarding
USC application and waiting for the result. Whatever university he'll go
he's going to major in Scientrogy or Scatology. That's what I read here.
