Y’know what? Fuck you Rare, fuck you.

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

I were supposed to make this post some time ago, but here it is.

You might have played the banjo games, maybe some of you discovered stop’n'swop.
It took what? 7 years before people had discovered how to unlock everything in stop’n'swop.
But no one knows what it was really supposed to be for.
Now, 10 years later, with the rerelease on XBLA they finally added a real use for it, it unlocks stuff in the sequel, Banjo-Tooie.

All well, right?
No, because the last egg unlocks this:

Yeah, 3 more eggs, old pic, I’ve got them now.

Why Rare, why? Though partially hillarious, it’s just mean.

Mariomarathon is over

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

After almost 97 hours they’ve gotten nearly 29,000$ in donations for child’s play.
I don’t think they will ever want to hear the word “bloin” again :P (That’s a blue coin, for you people who don’t keep yourself updated.)
I’ve watched them for about… 40-50 hours I think. :3 (Gotta sleep you know)

On another note, I’ve just started reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The hound of the baskervilles”.
Elementary, my dear Watson.

oh

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Just finished both the first and second Kaizo mario, I’ll honestly say, those are pretty hard :3
Still can’t finish the “christmas-version” though. :(
Banjo-Kazooie on XBLA: 100% + all achivements
Banjo-Tooie: almost at 100%

I’ve been watching the guys over at mariomarathon.com for some time now, they’ve been playing mario games for about 57 hours and 30 minutes right now, and they’ve gotten over 18,000$ in donations for Child’s Play as of now. :)

Xbox live arcade games

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I bought Banjo-Tooie and Triggerheart Exelica (Sure, I have it for Dreamcast, but still, HD godness rawr :3)

My sister got a bunny yesterday.

And also, Hiroyuki Miyasako is hilarious. “Attention please!!” :P

DJmax video

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Fallen Angel LV8 Hard (4B)
Just trying out that psp-tv cable. :)

Now I have videos of Taiko, DJmax and Stepmania, I’ll probably do Beatmania, Guitar hero and possibly Ouendan sometime.

I got a new computer table.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Haven’t put it together yet though, I’m waiting for some more stuff to change my room completely.
I’ll take some pictures or something when everything is built and put in place.

And I got a few games from the bargain bin at gamestop, WC2 Battle.net edition, Diablo 1 (Which was 7kr, about 1$ :3) and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – Double Agent.

And I got a PSP to Component\Composite cable, I tried it out on my TV and it works just fine :)
I filmed it, I’m uploading it to YT now.

I’m trying to contact the guys over at surround.no, because I’m gonna a buy some new speakers, but damn, those guys don’t pick up the phone, neither do they answer their email. :(

So what’s been happening

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Well, I “decorated” my wall with some of my better drawings, and some drawing I didn’t do. (the colored one)
Photobucket

I’ve ordered more stuff (yeah, I like ordering stuff)
And I’ve watched the first season of Genshiken.
I’ve played Tales of Vesperia for 20+ hours. (Released in PAL territories a year after release in the US? really. I didn’t think it was that hard to translate it from english to…. english >_>)
I have to finish it again the day I get myself an PS3 though, since the x360 version is seriously lacking in the pirateloli department. *rage* (I’ve known this for quite some time, but it still pisses me off.)
And I’ll probably get the japanese version, for better voices. (Though I have to admit, the english voices aren’t THAT bad)
And screw Karol (?), I think that’s his name, I hate him so much I can’t even bother remembering his name. (I usually call him Karlos)
Why remove my pirateloli and keep the most annoying kid of all time?

Oh, and go watch Nostalgia Critic’s Transformers 2 review.
Here
I really don’t care for tranformers, but the review is still awesome.

And I noticed that MegaMari (that one game I got a week ago) reads “Maid in Saitama” instead of “Made in Saitama”, which I find kind of hilarious.

On a sidenote: I’m just barely surviving with it being like 40 degrees (C) every day, who said norway is cold all the time? >_>

Jrock night\Soracon buying spree

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

So yeah, revealing most of what I ordered
First of, touhou games :3
The official ones (which were in stock)
Touhou 7 – Perfect Cherry Blossom
Touhou 8 – Imperishable Night
Touhou 9 – Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Touhou 9.5 – Shoot the Bullet
Touhou 11 – Mountain of Faith
Photobucket

Too bad Embodiment of a Scarlet Devil weren’t in stock, it’s my favorite, and the first non-pc-98 touhou game.

And I got two Touhou spin-offs, Megamari (Like Megaman, just with a touhou theme\ characters\music, and まとめの音楽集その1 by “Moon Goddess”)
Photobucket
Photobucket
Kinda dark picture, but what is haruhi characters doing on the cover…
And why does this page list it as a book?

http://doujinshi.mugimugi.org/book/145552/

It sure as hell doesn’t look like one, atleast mine does look an awful lot like a CD. >_>

Then there’s just one spin-off to go, it’s on its way, more on that when I get it.
Whatever, moving on…

A new headset, yes, I have one from Koss and one pair of Steelseries, but I wanted some smaller ones, I figured I should get some which are a little bit “exotic” or atleast unusual in comparison to what people around here usually have.
So I decided on XCalgo, some japanese brand, I noticed them over at akibaharanews some time ago and they looked pretty cool.
Here’s a GIF

Hmmmmmmmm…………

:)

I also got some manga, I don’t like to buy long series, I will make exceptions though, for series I really like, like Kare Kano and Urutsei Yatsura :3

First of we have:
Tenchi Muyo: Sasami Stories
It’s just a one shot, and it was cheap, so I thought “why not?”
Photobucket

Next one:
Kare Kano
Photobucket
I thought there were just like 1 book, but apparently there’s 21 volumes (IIRC)
I love mangas like this and Lovely Complex, I don’t know why, but these are now both amongst my all-time favorites.
At about 600 pages, this is huge.
Comparison shot:
Photobucket

Last but not least, another random buy. (I influenced Nekoflaa to buy it too :P )
Mao-Chan (By Ran and Ken Akamatsu (Of Love Hina fame, one of the characters even bears a striking resemblance to Narusegawa from Love Hina))
Wikipedia says 4 volumes, but my version is just two slightly larger volumes. (There seems to be somewhere in between 100 and 200 extra pages with info and a side-story)
Photobucket

Comparison shot again.
Photobucket
It was so cheap, couldn’t not buy it. :P

And I needed a new bookmark, so yeah.
Photobucket
Photobucket

And I got some YoruichiXSoifon fanart. :3
Photobucket
That means I didn’t draw it.
I actually haven’t drawn anything in quite a while, still, a bunch of girls requested that I’d join Deviantart, which I now consider doing.

So yeah, I think this be it. :3

Photobucket
:) and also, roar rawr

I and Okami woke up early, ate breakfast on Deli and tried to reach “kongress senteret” before 9, we got there a few minutes late, but didn’t really matter.

Me and a few other people went to get two tv’s at havok’s house.
When we were back and I had properly arranged the chillout spot Jintox still weren’t there.
He came a little bit after the opening show were over. (it was just for the 100 first people to get tickets and crew.

Nekoflaa wrote ⑨ on my cheek

I really liked the AMV they had this time, not that I didn’t like the ones they’ve had before, I just really loved this one, the song and everything. I’ll find out which AMV it was and make a post about it.
Then they showed the three Soracon trailers and talked a little bit about what was gonna happen.
That’s about it, not as big as the Desucon opening show, but still good.

People played a bunch of Super Mario World.
(And Kenneth’s (@neo-tokyo) kid were suprisingly good, especially considering they don’t have a SNES\Super Famicom at home.
I asked him (Kenneth) about it and he just told me it runs in the family. :P

Over to the cosplay competition, I kinda missed it :(
Though I know this happened:
pedobear
Beyond awesome, but since it was on a huge stage in the middle of one of oslo’s largest marketplaces (? I’m not that familiar with oslo, but I think it is) It migh’ve been a daring move, if it goes in some newspapers or something it would’ve been blown up like hell.
Mainly because of incompetence and unfamiliarity with the subject.
But yeah, that would’ve needed more than a little bit of explaining I think.
(oh, and they did it twice)
So what have we learned?
Never send someone cosplaying Pedobear (Even though it’s a girl) and a little girl (unprotected) out on the same stage.

And we had jack sparrow (Which really looked and played like he was the real deal, pretty amazing stuff. And a guy wrapped in two plastic bags, bordering on scary. :P )
I got some more stuff, like fanart. (YoruichiXSoiFon hehehe :3)
More on that in the third post coming up, Tomorrow, since I’m starting to get tired.

So we got home at about 24:00 I think, mostly because we got told to take train number 19 while we really should take number 17, so we ended up taking a later one.

Super metroid

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Clear time: 4:29, not bad for first try, that’s the second best ending :)
Under 3 hours is the best and 10 hours is the normal ending.
And I got most of the items.
