In an ongoing attempt to be less of a grouch, I decided to give the DSi a fair chance. And you know what? After looking over the specs of the DSi, I'm actually impressed - the internals appear to be massively upgraded, enough that they might have the capability to compete with the PSP (or at least the iPhone) after developers get used to them.Furthermore, if Nintendo handles …
Huh, cool - MKULTRA is actually getting some mainstream coverage today. Link to the article.Since it's rarely reported on and is mostly grounds for the imaginations of conspiracy theorists to run wild, I'll be interested to see how things turn out.
Me on Twitter: "One question: How in the name of Hell are dungeon crawler lovers supposed to decide between Dark Spire and Class of Heroes this April? D:"Open question to LJ: Assuming I was interested in buying these upcoming Atlus dungeon crawlers but wanted to get them one at a time so that I could better enjoy them, which one would you say is more of a must-buy? Does the …
Got my new computer yesterday. Saki is now happy, for she is using a real computer again. (It's been a long time coming, since I refused to buy a new MacBook until they updated the previously 5-year-old design of the Pro line.)In other news, the sky is blue and the Earth spins 'round. I never thought about it before, but Kyouka actually makes a disturbingly good backdrop for …
... becomes a valid excuse for taking two weeks off from work, and you're still not sure you'll make a dent in the mess, you know your place is kinda dirty.That being said, it's actually going far better than I'd expected - after ten days of work, two out of the three rooms that needed the most love are 90% finished. It's nice living in a clean house~ ♥In other news, …
For the two people who showed an interest: Forumfall and Orderfall = completed.Next on the menu? Patchfall, of course!Also, lolGN wrote some impressions today, as a followup to the columnist's prior bitching at being unable to get their own copy of the game.Now then, I need a drink.
All I need to know, I learned from the Squirrel Nut Zippers:1. Ships were made for sinking.2. Whiskey made for drinking.3. If we were made of cellophane, we'd all get stinking drunk quite faster.4. Camptown Ladies never sang all the doo-dah day, no no no. ♥(This video's rather freakish by intent, so I'd suggest not watching it if you get creeped out easily.)I really …
Finally got around to playing the demo for 勇者30 and, um.. all I can really say is that I wish there were more than two levels to it? I'm going to be playing these levels a lot over the nex …
Posting this one more than a little late, but still, it's what was playing in my head when I got up today. I love dreamy little songs about the promise of the future.Tomorrow's child.(Tomorrow's child.)Gathering gifts from our past.Tomorrow's child.(Tomorrow's child.)Shaping a world that will last.Holding the spark, as we embark,on a great journey together we're learningto …
Coming back to A Bug's Life after not having rewatched it for a while, I have to wonder - was the bar scene (embedded below) meant to be based on the Star Wars Cantina? (By the by, the music video for the Cantina is pretty awesome if you haven't seen it.)Either way, I think the anthropomorphism in this film is incredibly cute, and the way that the artists pan around and show …
I have only one question: Do you stick fast with the sucker?If not, you're just not a fighting machine at all. >:/
(Technical rant below.)I've noticed that my (year-old) X205 generally has two primary states of existence - either the dual graphics cards are crashing the OS and requiring a hard reboot, or the dual graphics cards are overheating/overpowering the hardware and causing an emergency BIOS-level shutdown.The idea of having two desktop GTs inside a laptop always sounded a bit …
Today brings about a different sort of video from me. I got around to watching winnryautomail's fan video for 9 Rota, and it was so beautiful that it got me interested in seeing the whole thing.9 Rota simply means "9th Batallion", and it's a gritty movie about the Soviet war in Afghanistan from 20 years ago. I consider that war to be a highly-overlooked contributor to the …
*snicker* ... I think I'm just going to let this one speak for itself.Thanks as usual to pKjd for uploading the only decent version, oi.
Allow me to present my first YouTube upload in months. From the description:"This is from the C74 Angel Note album, Sing Song Swing. I uploaded this because I couldn't find it on YouTube.Official Website: http://www.angelnote.jp/"What can I say? It's a cute little song from an angel-themed rhythm game. I love it.
Skipping the music today in exchange for Darth Vocaloid. The concept of the "dark loli" is one of my fondest loves, so this video feels like it was freaking made for me. Waking up to it was like a spike of java for my soul - it was deeply energizing to see something so utterly relevant to my interests.
Regardless of when I wake up (I keep strange hours), I always listen to a piece of music that gives me some inspiration for the day. The genre goes across the board, and I usually pick something I haven't heard in a while. As a result, the songs cover a broad range and might be interesting to post about.So, if you're curious what song got me going on a certain day (and if I …
Holy hair and clothing dynamics, Batman. This has got to be some of the best amateur 3D animation I've been exposed to.I've only seen big studios even attempt to have clothes (and ears :P) that move this fluidly, due to the CPU power required. Let's not even get into how natural the body motions are - I bet they used human motion-capture, just adding to how much time and …
In the past 365 days, I have had one Nintendo Wii, one Xbox 360, one Mac, one PC, and six Nintendo DS systems fail on me, almost all of them excluded from warranty service due to fine print about what sorts of manufacturing flaws the warranties are willing to cover.(The sixth DS croaked today, from problems with its motherboard.)Jesus Christ. As much as I love the DS and its …
I realized the depth of the idiocy of my hacker brethren this morning when I looked for home alternatives to store-bought thermal grease.Apparently, without meaning to, I stumbled onto the biggest joke ever. It appears that coming up with sludgey things to shove between your microchips is considered an entertaining pastime to some.One suggestion was to use peanut butter. No, …
