Ah yeah

New chassis for my computer, it looks kind of simplistic, and I like that.
Photobucket
But there’s actually enough space for about 15 HDDs and it’s also built with three layers, to silence out all the noise.
Let’s just say I approve. :)

This also means that I can bring my PC to LAN parties without killing my back. :P

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

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”)

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

Some more stuff I got at TG

Friday, May 8th, 2009

I totally forgot about something that happened, It was supposed to be included in the day 4 post.

I got 2 t-shirts made, thanks to the firm “Aktiv Reklame”

 

First up, the touhou shirt, the front turned out to be somewhat smaller than expected.

But it still looks pretty nice.

The back turned out perfect, with the whole pentagram-ish stuff and cirno being number 9 ofcourse.

In case you don’t know why that is or even who Cirno is, here. (It’s quite hillarious actually, atleast I think so)

And the second t-shirt.
Longcat, I mean, hello, it’s longcat :3

Photobucket

The kana means Chuu Infinity
(Note: Chuu is the sound used in japanese manga when kissing. So basically it would mean the same as :3 )

Nekoflaa also got one with longcat, so yeah, there’s only two of this t-shirt.

The gathering -Day 5-

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

The Stepmania finale was postponed to 02:00 I think, I can’t really remember.
aCiiiii won, RiChY got 2nd place.
They played Scar Symmetry – Prism & Gate as the final song.
link to video
And then we took some group pictures of the musikkspill.com guys.

The end of TG09.

The gathering -Day 4-

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I got more ram for my computer, got 8GB now, it’s nice, but I’ve gotten “out of memory” or whatever a couple of times later on.
Those who say 8GB of ram is obsolete for “normal” computer activities have no clue about what they are talking about. :P

Taco buffé with Nekoflaa :)

Reached 2 TB uploaded on DC++ :P

The gathering -Day 3-

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I got disqualified from the Stepmania compo for not sending in my scores in time…. someone decided to take my seat and start an super smash compo, so I had no chance of delivering any scores before they finished -_-”

Bought a Raid controller for my computer.

I attended a conference about Windows 7, where we discussed a lot of other stuff too. (NT, Dos, unix, os x)
It went on for over 3 hours, at first I thought it was supposed to be about 1 hour, that wasn’t the case though.
But I don’t regret it, we were let in on a few “secrets” if I may. Such as approximate release date for RC1 :3

The gathering -Day 2-

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Not that much happened.
Round 2 of the stepmania compo.
And most of Musikkspill.com went out for a pizza buffé at a local restaurant.

The gathering -Day 1-

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Yes, nice.
Up at 6 o’clock, out of the town at 7, arrived at “vikingskipet” 10 o’clock.
Standing in line for 3 hours and 10 minutes o_0 with rain pouring down, and the wind blowing, it was hell.
They gave out free copies of farcry 2 and and the new warhammer game, I didn’t get any, neither did any of my friends, they totally ignored us, while everyone else got both games or even multiple copies.
Sure, I have farcry 2, but that’s on the xbox 360, I wanted the pc version.
Sure, I don’t really have a strong desire to play warhammer, but it would be nice to get SOMETHING AT ALL.

Katt (endre) jumped straight into the line with us so he didn’t need to stand in line for 3 hours.
I got 2 TG t-shirts, both saying “I’m cool”, since the theme this year was fire and ice, and I sat on the icy side. (They had “I’m cool” and “I’m hot” t-shirt depending on which side you were on. I’d love to get both, but I really shouldn’t complain, I weren’t supposed to get 2 t-shirts anyway.)

I played the first round of the stepmania compo, right after starting over on sutte hakkun, my save got deleted :(

I also got a Silent Knight II CPU fan for my computer.

TBC

The gathering -Day 0-

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

The gathering, the worlds second largest computer party. (Not LAN mind you, there’s a difference)
It’ll be my third time there, I’m gonna leave six’o'clock in the morning.
