Greed:    Low    
Gluttony: Medium    
Wrath:    Very Low    
Sloth:    High    
Envy:    Very Low    
Lust:     Medium    
Pride:    Very Low    

So sloth is my biggest sin? I'd argue against that but I'm not feeling up to it.
Got exactly the same.

Although, I freely admit that hammer is fantastic for most everything else. It's like a GS, but with more mobility, more utility, and LESS SHEATHING! If you're looking for a weapon to main, hammer is certainly among the best choices available.
But GS has mad badass points...

I just saw Little Witch Academia, which is just an animated short.

I love it. Everything was made to fit together. The music and artstyle has an incredible amount of expressiveness and charm. The sweet, fun, and simple story isn't mismatched with the overall mood. It's one of those things where you can't stop smiling the whole way through.

I can easily see myself watching this several times as some kind of happy drug.

All right.  Do you know of any trans female main characters outside of dating games?  I don't.
I do, it isn't what I would like to see but it is a start.
Actually I'm hesitant to even mention her because of how clearly sexist the character is, but still, honesty is honesty. Final Fight: Poison.

Also, is the Persona series a dating sim?

All right.  Do you know of any trans female main characters outside of dating games?  I don't. 
I'm fairly certain there's been a couple of text-based ones along those lines. I mean, like one or two. Then a single-digit amount of experimental stuff related to it. From what I remember at least one or two of them were pretty specifically done by the MtF trans game developer whose name I've forgotten. One of her games was that female-protagonist upward scrolling jumpy thingy from a few years back. Pretty damn rare stuff, though.

Color me impressed =)  Also, I wouldn't take Persona as a dating sim, no--I'm really trying to specifically eliminate characters who solely embody fetishism.
I could think of one off the top of my head, but spoilers make it difficult. I don't want to even post it here because of the risk of accidentally spoiling others. If you're still interested in an example at the expense of being spoiled for a PS3/360 game, send me a message!

Wow, I'm surprised Skullgirls managed to get that much.

I'm pretty hype, I hope Beowulf gets in.

I tried Double Swords for the first time and was really impressed. They're fun and deal a fuckton of damage. I'm still cautious cause I've heard they're bad due to their all-offensive nature in a defensive game, but I'll see if I can make them work once we get the full game

There are quite a few other issues then that and often they end up doing less damage then other weapons because of their weaknesses (unable to do location damage in a game where legs are almost always the strongest body part for example). Yet they have their place.

Sword and Shield is my favorite but that one is ENTIRELY useless outside fighting ordinary enemies... and by useless I mean every single weapon type in the game is supperior to the sword and shield.
Aren't SnS super for elemental/status damage?

Does anyone else have problems seeing the QTE button prompts on PC, or am I just being dumb?

So today I decided to finally give the movie REDLINE a spin, I've been meaning to watch it for a long time.
I wouldn't watch it for the plot, but the visuals and audio are really cool.

So I'm looking for recommendations of manga with good art. I'm not really concerned about genre or plot or characters or even if it's been translated, just that the art is good. I'm looking to brush up on my drawing skills, so I need references.

The things I value in art are clean drawings, beautiful landscapes and architecture, subdued and more realistic character design, subtle use of expression and posture, and interesting use of angles and layout. The manga I've read that I'd say had particularly noteworthy art would be: Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Mushi-shi, Pieta, Aria, and Coelacanth.
Like people have suggested, I also recommend Inoue Takehiko's Vagabond, which is the samurai one, or Real, which is much more modern in its setting. He does a ton of his stuff with a brush, which is relatively unique among manga artists.
Spoiler: Vagabond (click to show/hide)
Mori Kaoru's work was also mentioned, Otoyomegatari.

Those two are top of the line as far as I know.

Saw up to episode 7 of Sword Art Online.

I don't like it at all. It's actually just a fantasy anime, but they call it a videogame so they can add random problems and cut off sensible solutions to problems that do exist. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. At times, it super dramatic for no reason. Virtually every character introduced until now is unlikable.

Also, the gameplay of the game sucks.

Oh hey look a Touhou remix OH GOD WHY IS THIS SO AWESOOOOME.

...seriously, why can't I stop listening? It's mildly absurd. XD
Well it is Touhou after all. Like this one.
Demetori's Sinen album will be forever the best in my mind.

For non-Touhou, I was just introduced to Delta Rae, but it turns out they sort of fall into that weird category where I only like two songs from them.

I just read Breakfast at Tiffany's.

It's kind of depressing. I wish the movie went in the direction of the book instead of the way it did. I think a remake closer to the book would be lovely, but I don't think it'll ever happen just because of how iconic Audrey Hepburn as Holly is.

I finally saw Looper.

I was super hype, and it ended up not being for me. I was way sadder than I should have been.
