/facepalm.
Seriously? "Special Beam Cannon"? THAT is what they called Piccoro's special move? the glorious Makkenko-sappo gets named "Special Beam Cannon"? That's almost as bad as the Genki Dama being dubbed "Spirit Bomb". Seriously, FUNimation just loves to butcher the classics.
American audiences wouldn't digest Makkenko-sappo too well.
/shrug.
Latin American audiences digested it just fine. The only character in the whole show who had english-named attacks was Vegeta, everyone else kept their japanese-named attacks, Including Krillin's "Kien-sai" Goku's "Kamehame-ha" Picoro's "Makkenko-sappo" Gohan's "Maseko-sappo" Tao Pai-pai's "Do-don pa" ect ect.
Well Goku still has his Kamehameha attack and Gohan uses Masenko, which sounds like Maseko. Some of it isn't that bad, but when every other attack is an ability you don't understand, then it gets annoying. And even then some of it isn't to far off. Genki Dama literally means Energy Sphere, but they translated it to Spirit Bomb because that sound better than it being subbed as Energy Sphere. Of course they could have use Genki Dama instead, but they didn't.
That's kind of like watching the One Piece and Naruto dubs and they use their original names for attacks, but since I don't know Japanese I don't understand what their attack means. When Luffy says one of his attacks the only part I know is Gomu Gomu, as that is like Gum Gum/Rubber Rubber. Or when they use a jutsu in Nartuo, I have no idea what it is until it actually happens.
Now I know I can go look it up what the stuff means, but I don't like to watch an episode then spend some time finding out what the techniques are called in english.

I thought "genki" just meant "ok". Like "ogenki desu". Lol.

There are a lot of contextual meanings in Asian languages.

No one is posting that makes me sad. Also why am I still awake it is 3:20 here I need a reason... Give me a few to find one...... Thinking...... Still thinking. GOT it the internet is really really great.
Wanna say something? Ok
Game of Thrones will surpass LotR and will become the best %^&*ing series ever existed.
I don't think they're targeting the same audience, exactly - (extremely harsh comparison that doesn't do either much justice) if anything, Game of Thrones is a much more mature LotR. I'm not sure how you'd decide which is greater when they're so vastly different from each other.

Indeed - you might as well say Harry Potter is the greatest ever series.

Tablet makes typing slow. How can i speed this up?

Go back to a laptop. A tablet is just a more easily broken, less useful, harder to type into laptop, that people like because it's cool the screen reacts when you touch it.

This made me remember that Razer laptop or w/e it was. Touch screen, LED keyboard that changed controls for different games and it was like a10 inch screen or something. Looked epic, but I've not heard anything about it for 2 years or so.

I need a second laptop. A nice cheap one that can run stateoftheart games and blu ray dvds. I would look for one online, but this tablet is nearly impossible to work with. Have no $ anyway.
