MARBLECAKE

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!.

NO! JOHN FREEMAN RUN OUT OF HERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!

/a/, /c/ and /jp/ have been pretty close lately, mainly because of the new Touhou Animu, and because of the ban on Loli-related material in the UK.
I say "ban", but it's more like a "you really shouldn't". It has yet to pass, and somehow I don't think it'll ever take effect, as the media don't give a shit and the UK Government is preoccupied with the recession. Essentially, it's the same as when they banned the R4.
Also GIRUGAMESH

^ This brought 4chan, 2ch, SomethingAwful and NicoNicoDouga together. Quite an impressive feat if you ask me.

I've been playing SMOD lately. It's like GMOD except it's more gameplay-orientated. I'll probably stop soon though, as it takes forever to load.
The demo for UFO has been released. Epic win. ZUN has actually listened to fans for once and added factors that ACTUALLY AFFECT GAMEPLAY. He also reintroduced the classic spell system as opposed to the MoF/SA one. Sanae is a pretty good character, although her shots are kinda confusing. I thought she'd be my main until I saw Marisa's new laser shots.

This friday is comic relief, I think. My school is gonna allow students to wear normal clothes for £1, although since there is no uniform for 6th form students, they're making us go in fancy dress. Theme is "Future Careers"... What the hell does a giant fighting robot pilot wear?

I suggest rape.

Snooping as usual, I see.

Finished Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. It was epic. Way better than Ichigo Mashimaro. Expect a review when I can be bothered.
Finished Chaos;Head. It was epic up until episode 8 or 9, where everything started to seem rushed. The final episode wasn't very deep at all, and I really didn't feel what I'd felt when watching the early episodes, although that may have been because Pokebis told me Chris-chan had died.
I'm currently playing Pokemon Crystal, mainly because it's popular at school, and I have an edge due to my years of experience with frame rate and throttle settings. I'm at the lighthouse with lv25s, and I have no idea how to get this "medicine", but whatever, I'll just speak to every possible person at 10x speed until I get it.
I don't know what to do with my Wii and 360, they're both just sitting there collecting dust whilst I play retro games on my DS.

I suggest rape.
(Shit, I forgot to say that in the last few posts...)

Epicness is a foot.

Last summer, I received a notice of entitlement for EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) telling me I would get paid £30 a week to stay in 6th Form (College basically), so I sent in the form and got no reply.
Last week I received a letter telling me there was not enough information to complete my assessment, and that once I redo the form I'll get back payments to august last year. Fuck yes.
DSi is out in a few weeks, which allows me to make use of this extra money, and take perverted pics at the next MCM. Fuck yes.
New Touhou announced: Unidentified Fantastic Object, it has space ships, better 3D, and playable Sanae. Fuck yes.
English patch for SA was released. Fuck yes.
I finished shuffle, it suddenly got awesome in the last few episodes, and the best end was obtained. Now I've started watching Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. I've just watched ep2, and I'm fucking hooked. Fuck yes.
First Higurashi Rei ep is out, Strike Witches season 2 confirmed. Fuck yes.
In b4 something shit happens, like my HDD gets corrupted or my lappy breaks.

Edit: I actually managed to successfully inb4 something.
It seems my parents are splitting up.
Well, I guess that means I won't be going to MCM.
Fuck it, I'll probably move out early next year anyway.
(^ Acting indifferent to look cool)

/me returns.

I'm back from cornwall, it was pretty epic. There were loads of rocks and equally hard things to climb on, and it didn't rain.
Unfortunately, of the 30-odd people I saw, not one of them resembled Ana in the slightest, nor did they end sentences with ~desuwa. I guess the japanese aren't as smart as I thought.
I'll post pix of some badass rocks when they finish uploading from a really slow camera to a winME PC.

While I was there, I was faced with a lot of free time with no internets, and no big games, since I couldn't plug in my external hard drive. Good thing I had downloaded Yume Nikki and Melty Blood the day before I left.
Melty is a fighter like SF2, SWR and Mortal Combat, and the gameplay is pretty normal for a fighting game. I'll probably get more into it when I get netplay working.
The majority of my time was spent playing Yume Nikki, which, for an RPG, is a FUCKING GOOD GAME, even though it's full of randomness. It revolves around a hikikomori girl named Madotsuki, who does nothing but sleep, play NES, and write in her Dream Diary. There is basically nothing to do until she falls asleep, then she enters this trippy dream world full of random creepy shit. If the dreams reflect what her life has been like, it's understandable that she never leaves her apartment.
At first it seemed pretty boring, randomly wandering around, looking for "effects" that change her appearence and alter other things in weird ways, but after I got the bike and medamaude, I was pretty much hooked. It's strange how even though Madotsuki's only represented as a small sprite, the creator still manages to make her look moe.
After I got a shitload of effects, met a five-armed girl and a freaky white head thing, and went to mars, I eventually figured out that there would be no more effects, but I had no idea how to beat the game, good thing I had yume_nikki_010_walkthrough.rar.part. I eventually found out I had to drop everything in the lobby-type room, so I tried it, and nothing happened. I exited to the bedroom, and nothing happened. I went out to the balcony, nothing. Then I woke up, and repeated the process.
Fuck.
I had only just gotten over Ushio ;_;

Edit: I FINALLY figured out how to allow people without google accounts to comment. Now it's only a matter of time until ebaums floods the comments.

YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD

I'm heading over to Cornwall today, and I'll probably be back on Friday. Pix will be posted.
It'll be interesting to see how many girls have blond hair and blue eyes, and end every sentence with ~Desuwa.
