We have entered an endless recursion of time.

Yay new post~
I received my Razer Lachesis 4000dpi High-Precision Laser Gaming Mouse yesterday. It's pretty damn awesome.
When I plugged it in after installing the drivers, it kept saying that there was an unknown device, and received no mouse-related input whatsoever, although it could tell when I turned the dpi up or changed profile. I went through pretty much every page on the internet to try and find out the problem, but there were no related issues. I uninstalled the software for my old mouse and there was no difference, so I just gave up.
After self-harming, I noticed that Windows was pestering me about this unknown device, so in order to stop getting these error messages I just decided to use a generic HID mouse driver.
Then, I accidentally tapped the mouse and my cursor jumped over to my other screen. Fuck yes.
Basically, the problem was that the Lachesis uses two drivers: One for the awesome Razer features, and one for the mouse clicks and movement, which was apparently not included on the driver CD.
Anyway, this mouse is epic. I have it on max sensitivity but low cursor speed, allowing me to have full control of the cursor when playing stuff like osu! and CSS. Getting headshots is easy modo, and most important functions can be assigned to the programmable buttons. My Source mouse profile maps the two left side buttons to Use and Drop Weapon, and the right side buttons to Ventrilo and Ingame Voice, so I only have to use the keyboard for movement.

In other news, Shana season 3 is an OVA series, planned for winter. Hopefully it'll be a sequel rather than a side story.
I finished Macross Frontier. Overall it was pretty good. The characters were believable and there wasn't any forced comedy or drama. Apparently there's a few movies set after it, so I may or may not watch them.
I've started watching Shugo Chara!, it's a mahou shoujo loli anime, with comedy similar to OtoBoku, Nanoha and Myself;Yourself. The main character is once again the cutest, with awesome shyness moments and a bewildered personality.

I downloaded Counter-Strike 1.6 a few days ago, and it's pretty damn good. My school occasionally has CS LAN parties, but I usually do fairly badly with the mediocre office laptops, so I decided to start using my own one.

I have work experiance next week, so instead of school I'll be working...
...In the school IT department! The manager is a hardcore Q3A gamer, so we should have something to talk and/or argue about.

I'm not gonna bother reviewing the NND charts this time, as I'm not completely starved of things to write about. It's the same as last time anyway.

That's all for now, so until next time...




Pokebis is a faggot.

THIS IS RAPTURE!!!

I picked up COD5 and Bioshock yesterday on 360.
COD5 is exactly what I expected it to be: A generic war FPS with tonnes of 7yr olds playing it online. To cancel out the fail of the repulsive community and the gray=nexgen approach, I named all my classes after Touhou races.
Bioshock is awesome. The movement is very unreal-y, but it kinda has a HL1-like feel. When I decided to rescue the little sisters, I thought I was doing it wrong by not following the Irish dude's orders, but then pokebees told me it was the only way to get a good ending, and I noticed the delicious 100 GamerPoints you get for rescuing them all. Yay for lolis.

Michael Jackson died, which is kinda annoying. The internet pretty much exploded, and there's RIP MJ messages everywhere.

Macross Frontier is awesome. I totally didn't expect Ranka to be such an awesome loli, and the main character is a semi-trap.

I've decided to start reviewing the NND charts every time I post, giving me at least something to talk about.
Nanairo is still way up there, with SquaDus' version at no. 7. SquaDus is pretty awesome as he talks like a generic "best friend" eroge character, and sings like a girl.
Of course, there are tonnes of MJ videos in the charts. Most of them are just his various songs, but there are also some NND classics, like the Lucky Star MJ OP.
New meme alert: Greatest freakout ever over World of Warcraft. This is basically the new AGK. Some kid got his WoW subscription canceled so he freaked out. It'd obviously staged, but what the hell, it's lulz, and new MAD material.
Unexpectedly, there are also two Touhou renditions up there. They're both pretty well done, and could potentially be used as BGM.
Megpoid seems to be dominating this time. With quite a few songs, which is pretty much expected for a brand new Vocaloid.

I suggest rape.

TAPIOKAPANCHI

Hey.
I kinda forgot to do an E3 post, so here's a small round-up, in case you weren't alive at the time.
Microsoft announced a motion controller! It's totally original, guys.
Microsoft announced FaceBook! It's totally original, guys.
Sony announced a motion controller! It's totally original, guys.
Sony announced a download-only console! It's totally original, guys.
Nintendo... Wait, what DID Nintendo announce?

Anyway, there were also some more awesome yet not directly related updates, such as Star Radish in Doki Majo Plus! This is a truely epic announcement, and it has secured my will to attain the game. Also, Shana season 3 confirmed! I shat bricks.

I got a new phone a few days ago. It's a Nokia 5800, and it's awesome. It has pretty much every feature imaginable, plus a few emulators. I originally had Miku as my wallpaper, but then I remembered to conceal my power level, so I changed it to Nice Boat.

I also bought an outdated gaming PC. It has a 1337 case and one of those epic LCD temperature monitors, so I plan on upgrading it until it can run Crysis on full settings.

I've just finished Dokuro-Chan. I can see why people like it, but ultimately it has a very boring storyline and some really unfunny jokes. The only reason you should watch it is for the otaku point bonus.

Expect another post when something cool happens.

I suggest rape.

Well that was cool.

I went to MCM today. London was pretty awesome, there were some good landmarks for me to test my DSi camera on.
This one was by far the biggest so far, as in, the last two were roughly the same size as a school, whereas this one was basically ComiCon-sized. Because of the huge amount of people, I wasn't able to get any cosplayer photos. Every time I asked someone, about 30 or so people would sweep either me or them away.
I WON on TAIKO, which is a pretty incredible achievement. The dude I was against was all AAARRRGGGHHH and stuff.
Since I had more money this time, I managed to attain more swag.
For example,

Pocky. Since you can now get the plain chocolate flavor in the UK, I bought the strawberry ones.

This Shana Figure. It cost me £6, but it's worth it for all the "use" I'll get out of it.

This awesome hat, which I am currently wearing. Obviously based on Di Gi Charat.

Strawberry Marshmellow Volume 1. Much more badass than the anime.

Shana poster. Yes, another one.

Lucky Star poster featuring the awesome artwork from the PS2 game.

Lucky Star wall scroll, because I secretly don't hate Kagami.

And THE BEST MOUSE PAD EVER. Seriously, they're like IMPOSSIBLE to import. I never thought I'd see this exact one at the TokyoToys stand.

Classified Information~

HARUHI
SERIES
TWO
EPISODE
ONE
JUST
FUCKING
AIRED.
I just watched the whole thing, and found that I could understand quite a lot without subs.
The episode follows a small arc in "Disappearance" involving Kyon, Mikuru, Mikuru, loli Haruhi and a Doctor Who reference.
The style hasn't changed a lot, but occasionally some of the faces and movement follows the K-ON! style.
That's all for now. I just wanted to be the first to blog this.

Oh also, SC4 Pix.

pippi. It was pretty hard to make, and it's not overly accurate, but I think this is the closest possible combination. She's JAMES DIFFICULTY when used, PWNing pretty much all bosses (Had a hard time with The Apprentice though).

Badass Santa, since it's illegal to download the Santa kit and not make a Santa character.

Robbie Rotton. Fucking win. Pretty good as a fighter, too.

Leonidas...

Ganondorf...

...And Remmy, because I enjoy stripping him with pippi. Luckily, there was a voice available that sounded EXACTLY like he does on Vent.

My breasts... Megassa squeeze them.



Sorry about lack of updates, but it's not really my fault. The internet is being boring.

A few days ago, I purchased (with ACTUAL MONEY) Soul Calibur IV. The characters and story are pretty awesome, but the best thing is the character creator. I've spent countless hours reproducing characters from various anime, games, TV shows and religions and it never gets old.
I've been on it pretty much non stop, but I'll probably get bored soon, as normal mode is extremely easy, and hard mode is insane.

This Saturday, I'm going to MCM in London. I was gonna cosplay, but it turns out I'll be going with only one other person, and I don't want to sit on a train dressed as Gordon Freeman. On the bright side, I can now buy NSFW stuff without people constantly asking me every detail about it. I'm kinda hoping they'll have some Oppai mouse pads in stock, also I wanna get Inaba Box in print.

LOST just finished over here. Having been a loyal viewer from the start of season one, I think I speak for all followers of the series when I say "What the fuck was that all about?".

I recently downloaded the latest Ubuntu. For some reason it won't identify my internal wifi thing, so no internet until I decide whether to install it or not. The latter is more likely due to the AI pwning me at classic board games.

In other news, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver have been announced, with various videos and screenshots. This is by far the best possible thing that could have happened to Pokemon. Gold and Silver were epic, and always will be. I'll probably get Soul Silver, just because the GSC generation games I own consist of Pokemon Silver, Pokemon Shiruba and Pokemon Silver (Vida Trans).

E3 in a few weeks. Prepare for fail. Microsoft's most anticipated announcement is a new motion controller (like the Wiimote), Sony's is a new motion controller (like the Wiimote), and Nintendo's is that they've given up entirely on the core gamer. Yay for more wrists, puzzles and puppies.

That's about all I have time for tonight, so I leave you with this thing that I made when LoZ:ST was announced:

Ah...AH......ACHOOOOOINK!

Swine flu. lol.
About two weeks ago it was always in the news, but now, not even a mention. Ima go right ahead and say it's because no one's scared of it enough for it to be a big deal.

In other news, EZ Flash 5i.
It arrived yesterday, and it's awesome. It came with a free extendable stylus, thumb stylus, and USB MicroSD reader that's so fucking small it only takes up half a USB port.
After a short break from the DS, I finally got around to DLing a few games I'd been meaning to play for ages.
Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure is awesomely British. A large gameplay factor is the Tetris Attack-esque puzzle on the bottom screen, which I like because of the sheer badassness of Tetris Attack.
Megaman ZX is kinda confusing. I really thought I'd be able to walk it after playing through ZXA so many times, but I'm currently hopelessly lost.
Rhythm Heaven, the English iteration of Rhythm Tengoku is also epic. I got gold on most things in the first try, and beat Remix 10 within an hour of starting.
Finally, Kimo Kawa E. It's kinda boring. There's way too much dialog and nowhere near enough fairy-spanking.

#random has been pretty dead lately. Everyone just idles all the time and there's no cybering. I don't go on much anymore, but it's always lifeless when I do.

I've been reading MegaTokyo a lot lately, after reading the ED article. To be honest, the story is pretty damn good and I really couldn't care less if the writer's fat, ugly or an asshole. Of course, there are varying amounts of fail, but it has the same feeling as the KEY games.

Speaking of games, the game.

Speaking of games, Wanko to Kurasou. It fucking blew my mind. I guess I really am a n00b when it comes to eroge.

Speaking of unrelated Japanese words, I got come certificates for Asset Languages Japanese today. I'm still not good at it enough to watch RAWs without going into denial about whether I understand what's going on, but I'm getting there.
