Tom & Tyler's "Anime"


Tom & Tyler's "Anime"

How much of Tanime is actually anime? Aside from the "brilliant" idea of making the title Japanese, I would say nothing.

I will try not to act up in this post. I will TRY not to.

But since most of you don't know what Tom and Tyler's Anime is, just call it Tanime, I will tell you the story.

You know some people, such as Kenric, John, Josh, and Jaurd to name a few, watch Anime. Anime is Japanese cartoons. Well, I only watched like I don't know, one full episode, but Tyler (by the way Sarah, this is the Tyler that you said did not exist) does watch it. In computer class, we had to do a business trip, go to a country and do a power point on what airlines we used, crap like that. Well, I decided, let's make up a business, and I called it Tanime, short for Tom and Tyler's Anime. We are now in the process of actually making something like this on a 3D program that hasn't come yet. Now, I open the discussions, is it in some way, Anime? Feel free to include any ideas about what our series is going to be called. Our first series is about a snowman and a space pilot fighting an evil snowman, egg monsters from outer space, and gummi blobs, just to have a general storyline.

i have no idea what you people are talking about.

Tom, i hope Tanime goes far. Far, far, away. Kidding. No, really, i can't wait to see it.

Tom said...

You weren't supposed to get it, Sarah, and that is why I explained it to you guys. Only a few people actually know about this.

Jenn said...

its not that i think tanime isnt a good idea, it just isnt anime.

Sarah said...

Hey where did Kenric come from? You need to tell me what to do next in Myst, I found three books and went into them. And i'm lost.

I might have forgotten

krustacianken said...

I didn't say that ("I might have forgotten"). Sarah, i think Bob is back. Notice, you can't click on the word "Kenric" for that post. Anyway, um, for the tree age, all you have to do is get the pump working, route the water where you need to, get on the elevators, explore the trees, find the blue or red page, pick one of these up, find the linking book back to Myst, and give either the red or blue page to the corresponding guy in the corresponding book.

Tom said...

And Sarah, you were accusing me of messing up the College post. Looks like you are messing up with this post.

Jennifer, if it helps, we will just call it Tanime, not Tom and Tyler's Anime.

Sarah said...

that's what I thought, I'll have to figure out the switches to route the water. At least I know it's not pointless.

Jenn said...

no, tom, that wouldnt help

Tom said...

If you think Tanime isn't a bad idea, why would you complain?

Jenn said...

it doesnt make sense to call it "tanime" when it isnt n e thing like anime. and tom, i got the script typed up for LA, its pretty nifty (i didnt change it to say phenomona, but it should be changed).

Tom said...

But Jennifer, you said Tanime is a good idea.

And plus, I talked to some people and they said the title in Japanese would be just fine.

Tom said...

Update:

Tyler came up with a great title, and I like it. It might be a winner:

Frigid Animosity

krustacianken said...

Tom, let me borrow Lightwave 3D when you get it.

Tom said...

I am sorry Kenric, but it is not mine to give. Tyler did get it, but he says it would take years to know what to do with it if you don't read the manual. He is on page 50 or so out of 250 pages and he only learned really one thing.
Unless Tyler loses his computer which hasn't gotten yet, he will have the program at his house. However, if he does lose the computer, he might let you borrow it, but is your computer capable of handling a such program?

krustacianken said...

What does it need to run?

Tom said...

Well Kenric, it needs the following things:

A computer,
A monitor,
A mouse,
A keyboard,
And suprisingly, a person to operate the computer.

No seriously, it needs those things..and these unnecessary, but useful stuff:

For Windows:
* System Processor Pentium III or higher (Pentium IV recommended)
* Operating System: 2000 (Sp3), XP (Sp1)
* TCP/IP Network Protocol Installed
* System RAM: 512 MB (1GB recommended)
* 230MB available harddrive space (not including content)
* Graphics Card:
o AGP slot interface
o Full Open OpenGL and DirectX support
o Latest drivers from chipset manufacturer
o 1024x768 minimum screen resolution (1280x1024 recommended)
o 64MB onboard dedicated RAM per display (128MB recommended)

You could have just looked at the website.

krustacianken said...

i think that i could handle it. i dont know about AGP slot interface. i need to see this program, though. yep.

Tom said...

Tyler is hoping to have the program be installed on his computer tonight (7th). But Tyler did say his computer started smoking when he was working on it before he came over to Jarud's. So I don't know if his computer is over that "habit" or not. But yeah, I have to see it too.

krustacianken said...

I'll be happy as long as you don't have the generic too big eyes, colored hair, too big mouths when opened, and dumb facialexpressions.

Tom said...

Hey, what's so wrong with the better Strong Bad?

Kenric, Tyler said today that the first episode will be debuted in December of 2005. It might be longer, it all depends on if we know what we are doing. Right now, we don't!
