Is it just me of is browsing 2ch absolutely hell?
They got all their damn links in a huuuuge block, each topic is just tacked on after the next topic instead of getting a new line, and japanese don't use spaces so it's like one giant wall of text from hell.
How the hell do they navigate that garbage? Is there some way to change Pseud0ch to Yotsuba which is actually fucking readable?

How do I say that I need to do something in Japanese?
Ex: I need to return home.

This literally means "Rising elephantbird, rising elephant". I think you're looking for the particle ぞ, and even then, that's an awfully clumsy way of saying it.
When japanese see a white person in japan do they immediately think he's just a traveler who doesn't know Japanese? Like if I was to go there and approach someone, would they be like lolsorrynoengrish before I have a chance to speak Japanese?

I spent some time in japan and one day I just happened to be milling around town and some people from out of town actually asked me for directions. Why they didn't stop in a store and ask a japanese person I'll never know...

Blah, they should swap 五 with 六
五 looks like 6, and 六 is pointing out in 5 points.. I can't be the only one who keeps thinking 五 looks like 6 for a second, of course I know it's 5 though..
anyways, what's Japans general consensus for anime, manga, and light novels? Would you be seen as an otaku fag if you had an interest in one of them or whatever?

Reading manga is popular even among adults and totally acceptable unless it's Hentai or loli/pedo. No one says like "lol you're still reading comics." As for anime, pretty much every young kid watches at least some Shounen/Shoujo such as DBZ, One Piece and whatnot. It's OK for adults to enjoy family anime like some Ghibli. But, not as in manga, you'd be considered childish/perverted if you say you're interested in other kind of anime, let alone Hentai. Light novels are for totally otaku fags. Average normal Japanese don't read light novels even if he/she reads manga.
It almost seems like it should be backwards. Especially light novels, since they're practically like a book, and books are considered as mature (at least in america), meh. I'd imagine though games would be on the scale of manga too, huh

How do I form polite negative commands? All I can find is informal (verb+な) and that's no good for what I need to do.
In English, when somebody's running around naked and everybody screams "Eww!", then naked person usually responds "What, it's not like it's nothing you haven't seen before."
