April fools madness.

Just thought i would cover some of the crazy April fools antics circulating the otakusphere.

Dannychoo.com,Nitroplus: Mirai eroge announced.

Overflow: Sekai Days

GoodSmile: Udon anyone?

Type Moon: Pro Wrestling spoof. OMG Rin looks sooo hawt!!

Key: New VN Rewrite.

Gordon: He quit blogging.

Shin: performing Mind Raep.

RIUVA: Event so full of manliness its GAR.

Others: FUCKING FAKE DORAMA. You know what, that really got my blood up, I wish whoever plotted that scheme a painfully long and drawn out death.


and as for myself. I just found out today that i fathered a lovechild.

How far is too far?

There comes a point in time when one would just feel that the cow has been milked too far and will die horrible, skinny, miserable, malnourished death. lest you have been misguided, Im not talking about Evangelion here with its remakes and numerous movies.(I am still waiting for the release of the Eva 1.0 DVD so i can get subs of it)

I was describing the madness that has been committed by the most certainly warp-touched people of Saitama prefecture in their latest attempt to milk the cash cow that is Lucky Star.

It has been reported that Satte City in Saitama Prefecture decided that the introduction of the Lucky☆Star Sake was not sufficient, so they decided to take it further by introducing Lucky☆Star street lamps. (insert WTFness here)

"100 of the street lamps in Satte City already have Lucky☆Star design acrylic boards mounted onto the panels.

The city intends to install more of these Lucky☆Star design acrylic boards on 530 of the street lamps, so that the entire town becomes one with Lucky☆Star."

As a LS fanatic i am happy that the anime is being warmly received by the Saitama folks but certainly the should be a limit to that. Do they actually intend to turn the whole city into a Lucky Star shrine?

Truth can be stranger than fiction.

I am writing this in a hurry so expect incoherent babble ahead.

Today at approximately 12 pm i just had one of the most surreal experiences of my life.

I was busted by my Stats lecturer for web surfing during stats class viewing Dark Mirage's Gundam post. I expected to be lectured(pun intended) but he started discussing about Gunpla with me and we talked about more Gundam 00 and he told me that he owned a few MGs plus a PG Strike and just bought a 1/60 HG Exia.

i guess this would be proof that the otaku culture is a culture for all?

My fan art: Trying to create but ended up copying.

After reading AS's blog ive been inspired yet again to do something out of the norm for me.

Today, ill be exposing you to one of my fanarts. This one was inspired by*ccopied from* Hayate no Gotoku vol.13

Megane + ponytail= pure win

The character in question is Haruko. She is the student council's secretary and secretly serves as the Aizawa family maid.

This one was drawn a couple of months ago between classes with a pencil and is my best work to date. Truth be told, i have next to none in artistic talent but i can damn well copy a pic.^^

Red Alert!!!

Truth be told, i haven't been reading my gaming mags such as PCGamer (Us edition) for the past few months. Mainly because of all the coverage given to the FPS(First-Person-Shooter) genre and the lack of RTS(Real-Time-Strategy) game coverage.

This month, however i decided to pick up the mag again because of the coverage of a certain game. (Tips: it involves the colour red.)

Yes my fellow brethen. The classic RTS Red Alert is back in its third incarnation. Promises and hopes of mind control, Tesla weapons, weather machines and brave G.I.s all round.

As good as all of the above sounds however, that is not the real reason for my outpour of joy. In this new chapter of a great saga. The developers have saw fit to include a new faction in the game!! The more the merrier eh??

The new faction included this time around is The Empire Of The Rising Sun. No prizes for guessing which culture it is based on. Be prepared to see loads of ninjas and possibly anime style schoolgirls with weather powers. (I kid not. click the picture above and look closely at the Rising Sun corner.)

Well, after the impressive showing in Command&Conquer 3 i believe EA can do no wrong this time around. Keep ye fingers crossed and ye hopes high for this new installation to the Red Alert saga.

Had absolutely no idea what this is until Danny made a post about it. Am currently hopelessly addicted to it. below are a few of my favourites out of the lot.


As AS said Fang= Moe.


Minami-ke version is best for Chiaki appreciation.


I LOLed.


Added for good measure.


I still prefer the Yuki version the best!!

Charms. Myths or facts???

After watching Clannad 17 and looking at other bloggers trying to replicate The charm from Yukine's book. I decided to give it a try myself.

Materials: 2 coins (any type will do i guess)

Methodology: Balance one of the coins in the upright position and repeat with the second coin on top of the first coin. Then chant "Ritafuni Kousoku Iita" 3 times. Then think of a girl whom you want to be trapped with in the gym storage room.

Results:

As you can see quite clearly the coins must be shaped and not totally round or else it would be impossible to balance it properly.

Conclusion: The charm itself is doable but results are unclear and further observation will be needed.


But enough with the charms. Lets just bask in the glory and beauty of Saint Kyou(who has officially replaced saint Valentine).

Admit it. You all want it.

A glimpse of heaven.

And a happy valentines as well to all you folks out there!!!!!

Things people do to figures. =_="

Ok, so we have seen figures in ovens courtesy of melonpan@meidocafe. (which was done in a safe controlled environment.)

But surely one should not even think about putting figures in a CPU like what some deranged madman has done below. Surely there are serious risks involved such as electric currents and not to mention the heat given off by the CPU which would melt a figure.(I guess)

This is just taking it too far.

Twincest in Malaysia. WTF indeed.

Just got hold of this info from reading RIUVA and Kurogane.

Link here for a better view.

Twincest in Malaysia, cant believe i missed this one. My family subscribes to this paper(The Star) and on the day i missed it such good shite happens.

My room: Otaku fotress of solitude.

Just thought I'd post some photos of my room after spring cleaning and just in time for the Lunar New Year.

Well, it looks tidy because i had just cleaned it up. (note all the boxes.)

Where i usually get work done.

Its always good to wake up to Nagisa-chan in the morning.^^ (magazines are some old copies of Megami)

My otaku stash. Not much. Yet.( yes that is indeed an original copy of Clannad which i brought back from my last trip to japan)

Darth Vader facing off with EVA-01 who would you bet on?

Asuka on a Ferrari F-50.
(Thrown in for good measure. Shes just a Gashapon, flaws are to be expected)

Anyways folks Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year!!! Have a great Year of the rat and may you be blessed with more moe.

Rain Rain Go Away

Its been raining like cats and dogs along with all sorts of lifeforms here lately. T-T
Bad weather= no figure photography + getting unwanted showers= Lose
but extreme weather brings about extremism in other forms as well such as the following extreme improvisation.

Picture isn't clear but i assure you that the person in the middle of the road is covering his/her head with a card board box.

Pic was taken with my phone's camera. Please dont expect too much.I hate the rain. ToT
