09/10 Winter Anime.

I'm a little late, but whatever. As always, the list is by chartfag.

Eh, here are my insights and stuff on the new series...

Durarara!!:
Alright, so i've watched the first two episodes, and, if you ignore the amount of yaoibait and BL pairings that this series has to offer, it's actually a pretty cool show. Probably the manliest thing i'm watching this season, which is, well, disappointing, really.

Sora no Woto: (MOEdern Warfare)
Well, somehow they managed to mix moe, war, and music into one surprisingly good looking show. And yeah, that's all it does really. It looks good, and there's some plot involved, but other than that, it's just K-On with guns. Oh, and trumpets. Watching it regardless.

Hanamaru Kindergarten:
HOLY SHIT. IT'S CUTE NOT PEDO, I SWEAR. That aside, i'm only watching this so I can see how crazy a toddlercon show made by Gainax can get. Yes, that Gainax. The same Gainax that brought us the manliness that was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the mindfuck that was Evangelion. Wonder what came over them. Already an episode in, and it looks pretty normal so far. But Gainax being Gainax, they'll probably go crazy near the end.

Hidamari Sketch × ☆☆☆:
It's cute. It's SHAFT. It's awesome. I don't have to justify as to why i'm watching this. I'll probably die of a heart attack halfway through, heck, i'm two episodes in and i'm already feeling weak at the knees. Cuteness overload, man.

Quaser of Stigmata:
>draws his power from breast milk.

Yeah, well how about no. I'm not watching this, by the way.

Halo Legends: (on the right side there somewhere)
Not watching, but wow. A five studio collaboration? What's up with this? Also, Halo? An anime? Good god, what has the world come to?

Well, this certainly is an interesting season. I haven't picked up much shows, but then again, there isn't really anything worthwhile to watch, I guess. Just picked up shows for the heck of it, this season isn't as great when compared to some of the other ones. Well, if you've read up to this point, then congratulations, you're dedicated. Most of you probably won't give any of this any notice, but I did it anyway. Consider it as a kind of obligation I just had to fulfil. Well anyway, i'm out. Goodbye, for now.

Substitute for Reality.

So yeah. As you've probably noticed, (and if you haven't, you're pretty darned slow) that i've been playing Persona 3 a lot lately. So much, in fact, that i've come to start to relate my life to the main character's. I tend to do similar things with the main characters of other various visual novel/life simulation games because, well, let's face it, they lead much more exciting lives than me. I don't know if i've ruined my outlook and expectations of life by playing too much of these kinds of games so early in my life, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, back on track. Yeah, i've been playing quite a lot of these games lately. I don't know why exactly, but the premise of them just attracts me. Gameplay generally involves making many different friends, immersing yourself into the story, living life and shaping the personality of the main character as you yourself choose, and (maybe the "best" part of all) having, sometimes intimate, relationships with a girl that you may also choose yourself.

Sure, it's awesome in-game, but i'm having trouble doing stuff like that in reality. It probably has to do with the fact that i'm like, thirteen, which is like four or five years younger than your ordinary life sim game protagonist. Oh, plus, I lack a 'Courage' stat. Anyway, i'm kinda depressed. ;_;

I'm even starting to relate my personal life to these games, which kinda shows how low i've gone. Problem is, with life, you can't press the spacebar, save your game into a different slot, and start over if you make an unsatisfactory choice. A prime example of this is Photoshop Adventures. It's practically a life sim in itself, except i'm getting you guys to make the choices for me. (I'll get to making another post for that soon). How low can I possibly go with this stuff? I seriously need help.

This is how I approached tests:

Yeah, I have.
>Nah, I can't be bothered.

Eh, I apologise for the darkness of this post. I bet you all think i'm creepy now, huh? Oh well, to relieve increase the pain i'll go and hang out with virtual women. It's so great being me... Feel free to laugh or whatever.

Oh, i've scored already. ;_;

Heat.

It's so darned hot these days, and I don't go well with heat. Thing is, it's not even summer yet. It's going to be hell, in a literal sense, if you think about it. Damn you global warming. Damn you. All I do nowadays is go around the house eating nothing but ice-blocks, drinking plenty of water, gaming, and sleeping because it's too hot to do anything else. Plus, my house's air conditioning has broken down, and the electric fans do nothing.

Regular procedure.

At school, it gets worse. A lot of the classrooms lack efficient methods of cooling, and when we go out for practical PE or Agriculture, we get burnt to a crisp. On the way home, my bus is packed to the brim with people, and the bus is so crappy that it doesn't even bother to keep the passengers cool. The windows are practically glued shut, and, you guessed it, there's no air-conditioning in it either.

And, things are just going to get worse as time passes. Hooray. I'm totally looking forward to it.

On a completely unrelated note, yearlies officially end tomorrow, for my class anyway. I think i've done pretty well so far, considering the fact that I didn't study at all. Anyway, until next time, see you.

Fatigued.

I'm feeling like crap now.

Well, earlier today I finally got back from Shane's house after the 40 Hour Famine thing. Since then, the caffeine and energy drinks have worn off, and now i'm left feeling like crap. Lack of food, showers and sleep doesn't feel good, I tell you. It was pretty awesome though, and I look forward to doing it again next year, if we're allowed/bothered to.

So yeah, I (as well as Shane and Adrian) ended up giving up food as well as sleep for the duration of the 40 hour period. Well, at least we tried. Giving up both is a deadly combination, as you end up using your extra, and essential energy on trying to stay awake. Without energy drinks, you're screwed. We didn't last too long. Heck, by the time we reached about 30 hours without sleep and food, we bailed and ordered pizza. That was some good pizza. Despite it being greasy and overall crappy, it felt like an orgy in our mouths. Our stomachs were filled, and our energy was replenised, which was a plus too. Because of this, we screwed the event over, and seeing as there was no turning back, we just decided to call it a night/day and fell asleep.

While we were busy staying awake, we spent our time hitting on people, fighting, playing games, watching DVDs and prank calling people. We also recorded a podcast, which was meant to be 4 parts, but we couldn't be bothered completing it. We were cooped up in Shane's garage for the majority of the event, in an attempt to "simulate poverty conditions" as well as to allow us to get away with spending the whole night awake. In the garage, you couldn't tell if it was night or day, so we just relied on our mobile phones for the time. To aid in staying awake, we drank energy drinks (namely V and Red Bull) and by the end of the event, we had finished a total of 9-10 cans. I was meant to make some comics for a new collaboration i'm doing with Shane and Van, but I didn't get around to doing it in the end.

When I got home earlier today, I took a shower. Due to not showering in two days, I stank like something nasty, and my hair felt greasy. After that shower, I was back to my normal self. I felt good. Amazing what a shower can do to you. Apart from installing that new TF2 Classless update, and subsequently playing the new King of the Hill game mode (HELL YEAH!) nothing important really happened when I got back home.

Well, i'm going to go and enjoy some well deserved sleep. This week was physically and mentally taxing, with Squad and the 40 Hour Famine, and sleep is just what I need. An article about Squad will come later, just be patient. Well, this is me, signing off. Good night. I wish you other 40 Hour Famine-ers good luck.

Also, if you wanted to hear the podcast thing, here it is in it's unscripted, unfinished glory: (Open or download file. Also, lol Mediafire. ;_;)

Twilight Manga? BLASPHEMY!

RAGE!

Well, now the fanbase will expand even more, and worst of all, Twilight will become /a/ related, filling the board with "OMG EDWARD'S SO HAWT! <3" fangirls. Nothing can measure my rage towards this series, so i'll skip explaining.

Screw you Yen Press for wanting to publish this crap. Sure, you'll get craploads of money from sales, but you're helping corrupt the minds of girls everywhere. I sure do hope they decide to rethink this before they start publishing (scheduled at around 2010?).

Anyway, you guys might as well look at this if you're a fellow hater of this utterly mediocre series. Read this article even if you're a fan, read it and cry. (Refers to the following link).

http://io9.com/5096763/twilight-makes-for-the-best-fanwank-ever

If you're too lazy and didn't read, it's practically a big kick in the ass for Twilight fans worldwide. I do recommend that you read it, though. You'll get quite a few lulz out of it. Included in it is Robert Pattinson (Edward's actor) publicly mocking the series, epic summaries of the series, among other things. Seriously, if you didn't read, go. Now.

Oh, did I say that Edward Cullen was a faggot? I don't remember.

For extra lulz: (Don't worry, it's short).
