One more thing I quickly wanted to talk about! For the most part I've completely ignored all the Kinect talk (the new motion controller for the X-box 360) because most of the games look dumb and involve a lot of jumping, which would get really boring after awhile - not to mention hard to do in an apartment building as your downstairs neighbors are ( Read more... )

Hi hi everyone! Sorry, things have been crazy at work and I've kind of fallen off the "in the know truck" for geeky video game and anime news. I'll have to get around to doing the summer anime wrap up soon! (Isn't it depressing that the summer season is almost over, at least for those of us that live on the top half of the globe. ;) )

I found ( Read more... )

So I was reading my new Gameinformer and whatdo my wondering eyes see but news that Nintendo is going to remake The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS. Yes you read that right, the BEST ZELDA GAME EVER MADE is going to get a remake. *insert fangirl squealing here* No word on if it's going to have new content (I would assume they will ( Read more... )

I know she is too shy to announce this here so I'm going to announce it for her. Our very own km_shea just found out that her textnovel (My Life at the Magical Being Rehabilitation Center ) won a 2010 Editor's Choice award at textnovel.com. Her story is one of the few Urban Romance/Fantasy stories to win the award and she is one of the only non-R rated ( Read more... )

Okay, so I swear I don't normally waste I mean spend hours on Youtube watching videos, so it's really just a strange coincidence that I'm posting about them twice in one week. But I couldn't stop laughing through most of this video, as she explores what happens if you do choose to click the "send an error report" button on the horrid little pop up ( Read more... )

I pretty much agree with the guy who made this (the ROM hack and the video) when he says "I spent a long time debating whether or not this proposal was awesome or incredibly stupid." To call it "stupid" is kind of harsh, especially since it IS a marriage proposal after all. Although I'd say it dances with one toe in the "so geeky it's almost, ( Read more... )

Somehow I managed to completely forget about these wonderful Engrish photos we took in Japan. Below is a sampling of my favorites. We had more but some of them were borderline NSFW so I decided to stick with the G rated ones for now. The first one is far and away my favorite, as the idea of a "Vacancy bottle" really amuses me for some reason. ( Read more... )

So we recently got back from Japan and wow did we have fun.  Although seriously, I need to get in better walking and stair climbing shape next time.  I was living on pain killers for most of the trip because my muscles were so sore.  XD

We spent a week in Kyoto (and a week in Tokyo) so we had plenty of time to check out major shrines and temples.  ( Read more... )

Now granted, normally when I'm not about to leave on a vacation to Japan I try to put some decent effort into pranks for April Fools.  Take a screenshot of someone's desktop and hiding all their icons is my person favorite.  A variation on this I only recently discovered is using a broken LCD desktop wallpaper so it looks like someone punched their ( Read more... )
