Been long enough without art posts, I'd say. Time to rectify the situation. Today I've got the art of humi for you. He's got an O bloodtype, it would seem (see here for the uninitiated). I'm also a type O, or at least so I think, not having been to a doctor in years. Yet the ketsuekigata system would suggest I should be a type AB... Heh, there's a ( Read more... )

The FPS situation isn't getting any better. Well, that's to say, my average accuracy has gone up to 12% and there have been a few games (against pseudo-noobs...) where I've broken even with my kill/death ratio, but in games with actual experienced players I get my ass handed to me repeatedly. It's clear that my hand-eye coordination is gone to shit ( Read more... )

"Something more substantial", my ass. Here's what happened. I remembered that I have a Quake Live account, so went over there to play a couple quick games. The peers, however, wiped the floor with me. Couldn't even survive long enough to pwn some obvious noobs - and my average accuracy was something like 5%. Horrid. This is what has happened to me ( Read more... )

No Internets can ever be complete without cat macros.

My mother has started to stock up on dry beans. When I questioned the rationale behind it, she basically told me that Glenn "Froggie Stew" Beck has instructed his sheep to prepare for the coming civil war or some other thing like that. Oh well, it's not the worst thing he could tell them to do ( Read more... )

If you've been following the news yesterday, you've heard that Sea Shepherd lost a ~$2m trimaran in a collision with a Japanese whaler. The trimaran in question was a ridiculous high-speed plaything made out of plywood, carbon fiber, and hemp; its powerplant was powered by biodiesel and hippie farts. This thing, capable of ~40-knot speeds, was hit ( Read more... )

Skipped a week there, eh. Oh well, what's wrong with pushing it a week further into 2010? Also: the first late post of the year. Don't worry though, this one's definitely a single and not the start of something enormous. These posts always take me longer to piece together, and worst of all, it doesn't even feel like anything's getting learned... ( Read more... )

Saw a spectacularly stupid thread on 4chan about this. Age-old argument. I could go on and on, but that'd be just as stupid of me as that thread, considering how there are sites like this one and thisSince both Star Wars and Star Trek are vying for much the same customer base, there's obviously a lot of friction between the two; but not from the ( Read more... )

It's apparently Newton's birthday. I honestly don't care overmuch. However, during the small hours, I thought I was hallucinating when I saw some movement on the Google page out the corner of my eye; it shocked me as though getting tazed in the taint. Not fun. Apparently they decided to animate a falling apple. Had better not pull that shit in the ( Read more... )

A random person emphatically recommended that I watch Collapse. So I did.
It's basically an alarmist scareumentary, focused on the concept of peak oil. Not a bad one, although it does exaggerate some things; like, for example, how all plastics are supposedly made from oil, and how oil is the only assumed source of energy (we've got plenty of coal, ( Read more... )

Very skilled. Hold me at no fault for being reminded of El Kabong by this guy's handle!

Go take a look at his Pixiv page. He's also got a slightly messy blog with unsolicited music playing in the background. Don't get scared; it's not even remotely as bad as the Internet diarrhea projectile-shat at you from some MySpace pages of our countrymen, ( Read more... )
