Theory supporting One Piece will go to space: Nami's dream is to draw a map of the world, but assuming the Straw Hats' journey will end when they reach Raftel, Nami will not have seen most of the Grand Line or the other "Blues" at that point. So how will Nami's dream come true? Either it will take decades to explore the world after Luffy becomes King of the Pirates, or the Straw Hats will need to end up somewhere she can easily view the entire planet.

RE: Jeff Gerstmann's Job Given the 6.8 from Gamespot @ the behest of Eidos
1Up Shows Support For GameSpot Reviewers
In the growing wake of the controversy surrounding GameSpot's alleged firing of editorial director Jeff Gerstmann comes a little bit of surprising solidarity.
A bunch of Ziff Davis staffers (including 1Up) made a banner to show their support for fellow game reviewers and marched it the two blocks to the GameSpot building on Friday. The banner, and impromptu march, shows that despite being competition, what may have happened at GameSpot could have wide-spread implications in the game publication industry.
We're also told that the Kane & Lynch user reviews on Gamespot have been, at least temporarily, disabled and there are rumors that people are canceling their Gamespot accounts "en masse."
I'm not sure how Gamespot is going to deal with all of this since I'm pretty sure they're not legally able to talk about why Gerstmann is no longer there. I'd assume that at some point Gerstmann might talk, but I'd guess right now he's trying to figure out what to do in the way of a job.
What about you? Do you work as a game reviewer? Have you been forced to rewrite a review due to advertising pressure? Feel free to email us at tips if you have or to editor. Remember, you can remain anonymous.

GameSpot Insider Claims Editor Was Fired for 'Larger Reasons'
By Susan Arendt
One of the team members who worked on the Kane & Lynch ads for GameSpot says that the timing of editor Jeff Gerstmann's departure is a case of coincidence, not cause and effect.
The Internet was rife with rumors yesterday that Gerstmann had been let go after giving Kane & Lynch a low review score, which angered GameSpot advertiser Eidos.
According to this post [UPDATE: the post has since been removed by the author], supposedly written by one of the ad team, Eidos was indeed ticked off, but decided against pulling the spots, opting instead to have the ads retooled to point readers to the game's official site instead of its review page:
The ads went up and the Eidos brouhaha was settled over two weeks ago. Jeff got fired yesterday. Furthermore, I'd heard a few people tell that he'd already been skating on thin ice for "unprofessional reviews and review practices." I don't know much about that, though, so I can't say one way or the other. My gut tells me that he got canned for larger reasons. Maybe the Eidos debacle was part of it โ I don't know. But I sincerely doubt that Eidos made Gamespot fire him. CNET doesn't kowtow to its advertisers, and I've more than once seen the higher-ups turn away big advertising dollars for the sake of the company's integrity.I think the whole thing is likely a combination of factors, the biggest being poor timing. -

Good luck Jeff, screw CNet, and go Tim!

RE: The All-New FUNimation Dub Discussion thread!
My question: are they going to dub the entire series or just what 4shit didn't get to? o__o I want uncut dvds for One Piece in it's entiretyโฆ I apologize if this has been asked before.
Viz currently holds the DVD rights to the episodes that 4kids did, so FUNi can't redub those right now, but they plan to to when Viz loses the rights or finishes releasing their DVDs.

This is going to sound lame, but I think I'm gonna watch the One Piece dub with my mom. I've actually turned her into a fan.
Getting someone into anime, no matter who it is, is never lame.
Sweet. Not only is Naruto getting hour treatment for the "Save Sasuke" arc (which is the best thing that happened to Naruto), but the ratings from Naruto could fall into One Piece. Good deal. I'm gonna be glued to my TV on Saturday nights from now on
Wow, your right. Having Naruto right before is the best thing that could happen to One Piece. It's certainly much better than CN putting on some crappy show at 9:30 to make the Naruto fans turn off their TVs.

RE: OFFICIAL: Death Note coming to Adult Swim
Kick ass; finally a reason I'd watch Adult Swim on Saturdays after Bleach.
Bleach is going on hiatus after episode 52. Death Note is it's replacement.
It has been confirmed that the voices in the preview trailer are NOT the voices for the actual dub.
