good call, noodles, I'd completely forgotten about Yen press -- they're owned by Hachette, I think. And as for scans competing with purchases -- of course they are. Never said every single download was a lost sale, but it's completely ignorant to think that scanlation availability correlates to lost...

so I played a D&D-like game today (Pathfinder) and actually enjoyed it except the other girl players were like LOLOLDRUNKBROTHELLOLOL and super distracting. I was like, "Bitches, please, focus. We have shit to do." It was really annoying. When it's not your turn, either plan your next ...
