About four days ago I stayed up late watching Penguin Musume Heart. I finally finished at about three in the morning. I was extremely tired, so I decided to shut down. Just after I said goodbye on #random, some asshole thought it would be a good idea to tell me about a steam offer. Before I knew it, I had bought The Orange Box, drunk a pint of cider and finished three boxes of Pocky.
As I expected, TF2 runs extremely slow for me when I'm not aiming directly at the floor. I'll fix it when I can be bothered.
HL2, Ep1, Ep2, LC and Portal run perfect on all the highest settings, and they're all awesome. It's an extremely good thing that they have decent replay value, as I had already cleared them many times on various pirate versions.
Animewise, I'm about halfway through To Aru Majutsu no Index, and it's kinda strange. The main character is awesome, he's some failure of a student who has horrible luck due to his right hand deflecting any magic/ESP, such as spells, summoned creatures, and luck. The main heroine, Index, has such a minuscule part that there really isn't much to say about her. The next anime I'm gonna watch is Fate/Stay Night. I wish there were more Type-Moon anime, the stories are awesome, especially stuff like Tsukihime, I'd love to see that animated.
In other news, we finished our school media project. It's a movie made of horrible taste and fail, due to the annoying restrictions set by the exam board. Almost every bit of audio needed to be redubbed as the cameras all recorded a loud hum, and the music was swapped at the last minute, after I realised the original tracks were way too happy.
No, I will not post it here.

SPOILER: RABBITS LAY EGGS
Happy easter, guys.
I got a total of 0 eggs, but I have a huge jar of chillies so I'm not that bothered.
Also DEE ESS FUCKING EYE. It's awesome. It has a MATTE FINISH which makes it extremely sexy. I downloaded WarioWare: Snapped and Paper Plane with my free points, I still have 300 left.
The AAC player DOESN'T SUPPORT .AAC FILES. I had to download fucking ITUNES to convert correctly. It was worth it, though, because the DSi's visualizations are fucking epic.
I did a huge comparison of the different DSi-compatible flash cards, but I forgot to save it. EZ Flash 5i seems to be the winner, with Acekard 2i close in second. DSTTi has compatability issues with some games and homebrew, and R4i is extremely rare and apparently crappy. I'll buy the EZ Flash 5i when I get the money.
In the mean time, I have Braid on PC now. It's totally awesome, and it reminds me of stuff like Portal. Also, after much investigation, I've come up with the theory that Steam actually slows down games. When I got Left4Dead, I had been playing the pirated version on local a lot, and it ran flawlessly in full resolution. When I played the legit one, I got 2-4 FPS on 640x480 with all the graphics settings at the minimum. I originally thought it may have been to do with .gcf files or something, but when I tried the pirated L4D with steam active I got the same performance as the legit one. Similar stuff happens with CSS, Dystopia, Portal and GMod.
I also downloaded StarCraft. It's hard and very boring... without cheats! I love that feeling you get from completely pwning someone when they didn't have a chance of winning in the first place.
Animewise, I've been watching a lot lately. CLANNAD After Story finished, it was the essence of awesome, and so did Toradora, which was also pretty cool. /a/ hated the endings, but that's /a/, they hate everything.
K-ON started last week and it made me completely regain faith in KyoAni after the cancellation of 801-chan and the whole THERE IS NO HARUHI S2 thing. Seriously, this one is the best I've seen in quite a while. A few days after K-ON started, the first episode of the new Hayate no Gotoku series aired. J.C Staff seem to be getting a lot better at animation.
Since my last post, I've marathoned Elfen Leid, Strike Witches, Ookami to Koushinryou, and Hidamari Sketch x365. I doubt any of you actually give two shits about my opinion, so I'm not going to do any more reviews.
Haruhi Season 2 is pretty much confirmed now. As the re-airing of the first series has been listed as 28 episodes. Hopefully, the dissapearence arc hasn't been scrapped and we'll get our shy Nagato and Long-Hair Haruhi.
What is it with aliens and lemons? In pretty much every pic I've seen of Yuki or Ryoko, they're holding lemons and making their signiture faces. I wonder if they have like a fruit fetish or something...
I probably should have made a post on April Fools Day (AKA Trollsmas), containing something along the lines of HOLY SHIT GUYS I WAS WALKING TO SCHOOL AND OUT OF NOWHERE SOMEONE THREW A PINK MUSHROOM AT ME!!1 I FELL UNCONSIOUS AND WOKE UP IN SOME GUYS BASEMENT!!1 THEN THE GUY CAME DOWN AND RAPED ME WITH HIS TRILLIONS OF GIANT TENTACLES!!1 NOW I'M PREGNANT!!!!1... But I guess I missed my chance...
Also, regarding that fancy dress thing, I went in as a pimp. The head of 6th form took a pic of me with a trapstitute, so if I can get a copy, I'll post it here, and maybe on osu!.
