It's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, work is slow, so what better way to kill time than another TB:RB post? Just thought I'd take a moment to examine what are, by my observations, the five least-popular songs in online play. Of course, being limited to my own experience, I can't make any claims to definitive truth here, but I think I have a ( Read more... )

I stand corrected. Perhaps it was my lowered expectations, both for how I thought it would play in the game and how I hold Abbey Road in a higher esteem. Or perhaps it's that the guitar parts are generally much harder than they were for AR.

A dub-only Blu-ray? Really? Am I in high school again?

This could be a bad omen. US anime Blu-rays are rare enough already, but this indicates what American distributors have been saying for a while: Japanese licensors are reluctant to have newer shows put out on BD in the US.

1. I need sharper scissors.
2. Even so, ugly raw edges on pattern pieces aren't a big deal because they'll be hidden anyway.
3. When in doubt, think inside-out.
4. A Large-sized pattern is much larger than you think.
5. You'll regret ignoring the pattern's request for stretchy material when you get to the neck band.
6. On a related note, a straight ( Read more... )
