It’s mine

Hmm

Updates coming soon..

Blah.

Apologies for the lack of updates. Health issues and my laptop HDD finally giving up after 4 years of use at 18 hours a day and will no longer boot have been the reasons why. I’ve no idea what’s wrong with it either. I think it’s just worn out. I can connect to it to my pc mobo as a slave with a sata cable, and all the file structure is okay as are the boot options, but booting it up once connected as a master is a no go. I’ll have to pick up a new HDD sometime… when I have some more money. I’ve pre-ordered quite a few games so my money stream is slowing to a trickle…

- Ratchet & Clank: Crack In Time Collectors Edition
- A Boy & His Blob
- New Super Mario Bros Wii
- Assassins Creed 2 Black Edition
- Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition

My  Nendoroid Drossel is due to arrive next month too. I’ve also bought something else.. but I’ll keep that a secret until it arrives. So many games so little time and money… I hope I don’t max out my credit card or I’m going to be in trouble.

Aiya… Oh, one more thing. Uncharted 2 is really awesome. I’m having a blast with the multiplayer even though I suck at it.

3 hats in 3 days. What can I say? Valve likes me? The server I got all 3 on it’s on fire? I dunno. No less then 15 minutes ago I picked up a Spy hat. Pretty delighted that out of the 7 hats I have, finally Valve give me one for a class I play.

Hands on with DJ Hero

So, I finally got a chance to play DJ Hero the other day. It just happened to be on display at BestBuy while I was looking for Demon’s Souls. So, being a fan of rhythm games (and having an interest in picking it up), I had to try it out. And much to my surprise, the game is actually really hard.

The demo I played on only had 3 songs with 3 difficulties: easy, medium, and hard. The game also had a tutorial and a co-op mode (which I played with some little kid). Played my first set of songs on medium, wasn’t too bad, but I noticed problems right away with the effects switch or w/e the fuck you call it. In order to hit the notes on the side, you slide a… slider to the left or right. Now, by design, I figured it would be spring loaded, returning to the center when you let go: not so much. Manually searching for center was more of a task then trying to slide the fucking thing, resulting in missed notes. By the end of the set, I had finally gotten used to it, so I moved on to Hard. And holy fuck.

While not impossible, the fucking switch not going back to the middle was the death of me, more so then my shattering wrist. Maybe it was the angle of the setup, but the way that you play the turn table and the necessary pressure needed to do the scratching leaves a shooting pain. It is less of a natural angle then that for guitar. Hard required even more movements of the slider, which lead me to feeling as if I were going to rip the damn thing off. Random flailing for spikes, I felt bad for the piece of plastic. Maybe the thing did have springs to begin with, but I can see how they’d break quickly.

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it, to some extent, at least it’s something different. The game has potential, but I don’t see the controller making it to expert. That and I hate the fucking music, but that was to be expected. /2cents

Sexy no jutsu

Perma-Banned.

So word of mouth has begun to spread that this is my new home and some of my older blog readers have found me here. I guess this would be a good place to clear things up and explain why I was permanently banned. I would appeal to Chode about my ban, but since the administrators and support don’t care (I still think whoever was behind the desk at support was fired), I’m pretty sure he really doesn’t care either. God already told me no because “Most of the mods hate you”. It’s funny how you can be removed for doing no wrong just because the mod team dislike you. But anyway! The bullshit reason as to why I was banned after the jump.

Spy Sappin’ Mah Backpack

And you thought your room was bad.

Saw this over on Sankaku and I had to comment… Usually, when I see the room of an enthusiastic otaku, I’m filled with jealousy. However, you can have too much of a good thing. This is indeed otaku hell D:

O HAI!
