Baccano

Oh you

This anime Baccano is one of my favorites and I decided I'd share that with you. So here's a quick synopsis on this amazing anime.

Portal 2 - Review: First Impressions

You want my first impression? "Oh wow this is awesome!" There you go. So anyway, I finally got to play Portal 2 and I decided that wow, this is hilarious, I must write a post about how awesome this is and how you guys should get it. But then I played the game for another few hours...

I'm not sure if I should hate you or not Mike for posting this here but I've been listening to this for well over 9000 seconds (10725.1 Seconds to be exact, that's almost 3 hours). I would have listened to it more but I really want to watch the latest Hanasaku Iroha and this nyaa-ing is somewhat overpowering.

Can you beat my record?

PS. It feels awfully quiet now that I've stopped it, this is weird.

Spring 2011 - First Impressions (A-Channel, Dog Days, Hanasaku Iroha, Hen Zemi, Hidan no Aria, Kaiji 2, Nichijou, TWGOK2)

So, I finally got into watching some of the anime I had planned to watch this season, it took me a while because I was trying to decide on fansub groups but finally the season has begun for me.

Portal and Valve

So I played the entirety of Portal 1 again today seeing as Portal 2 is coming out in about 75 hours and what I discovered/remembered was that Portal 1 is a really short game, it took me around an hour to complete it playing normally. However even during that quick playthrough I remembered how good the game was, story/gameplay/graphics/everything, and this told me two things, that 1) games don't have to be long to be good (Portal 1 has been speedran under 10 mins), and 2) Valve really knows how to make games.

Winter 2010

Anyone finished this yet?

So I finally got around to finishing (almost) everything on my winter list of anime to watch. You've already seen my short review of Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka so you'll be seeing reviews like that over the next few days over the anime I watched last season.

Transforming Paper

So I just saw a video on metacafe showing how to make this cool transforming star thing. So I went and made it.

Here's the process.

Spring is in the air

Full size here

So, spring is here and with it comes a new season of anime fresh and ready to air. This season brings us many good looking shows and a few sequels which I personally am very pumped for. So lets get into it.

Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka

Otherwise known as Korean Zombie Desk Car?, or Is This a Zombie? but anyway.

So I just finished watching this anime which was airing this winter season, and it's the first thing I've finished of the season so I figured I'd do a quick blog post about it.

Shimeji

Shimeji, the little critters seen running all over the place on this desktop.

It's almost like they're invading me as if you leave one there long enough it will duplicate itself with a cute little animation, for example on the right hand monitor link is about to pull another link out of that chest.

Now these things are horrible if you want to concentrate as you'll be tossing them off the edges of your monitor so you can access buttons etc. and of course you'll just find yourself throwing them around just coz it's cool.

However, they're pretty cool and you can get a lot of different skins for them.

America's Greatest Otaku / Steaming Pile of ...

My God.

I could leave this blog post as just that and it would probably sum up my feelings pretty well but I suppose I should explain this to you guys.

America's Greatest Otaku, is an American TV show where they go around doing extremely anime-nerdy shit and instead of making the phrase Otaku more accepted as they are trying to do, "Otaku is not a derogatory word!" (they keep claiming), they are putting the word to shame with the kinds of people on the show.
