HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEKO!

Matt | December 22, 2009 | 3:19 am
I Got you a Miko for your Birthday. Enjoy Responsibly.
I Got you a Miko for your Birthday. Enjoy Responsibly.

I noticed that it’s the Solstice today, and that means it’s Neko’s Birthday. I believe that this means Neko is OVER 9000 today, and that he also is now king. Well, at least until the 22nd rolls aroun. So everyone, please wish this man a Happy Birthday today, because he deserves it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEKO, AND MANY MORE!

News, good and bad and…

nekosasu | September 16, 2009 | 3:41 pm

So, I’m just back from my short trip to the UK (to check out the campus, my accommodation, and get a glimpse of the atmosphere overall), and I received some good and bad news upon arrival. Recruiting writers! More info after the jump.

nekosasu by Gargron

nekosasu | July 29, 2009 | 11:26 am
Important update: The picture has been colored! Check it out at Anime² RIGHT NOW!
This is me!!!
This is me!!!

Image by Gargron. (Yes, I did slap Autocontrast on it (without permission, I know, sorry) to make the outlines look more pronounced.)
Yep, I mistook Gargron for Sixten. I thought they were the same person, but if even their real names clash, I think that’s when even the dumbest cat realizes its mistake – goes to show how well I know people around here. In any case, my deepest apologies to both of them. m(_ _)m
I shall never post again after waking up. The whole blitz editing caused the server to hiccup for ten minutes probably because of the sudden feed/trackback modifications.

The original (un-autocontrasted) picture hereI was truly speechkess when I first saw this drawing., first seen on twitter.
This in relation with lolikitsune’s ambitious project of creating a great VN called CCY-senpai wa 17sai featuring prominent (and not-so-prominent; read: me) anibloggers.

My reaction to this:


omg I can’t believe I’m so… C-C-C-C-CUTE!!!!!!

This definitely ain’t good for people with diabetes. Even K-On! is no match against this overly sugarcoated depiction of yours truly.

lolikitsune and Gargron, you are godlike. Thanks lolikit for including me in your project, and thanks Gargron for your great drawing!

More info to the VN can be found here; more artwork to the other characters of the VN here.

–

The only drawback to CCY-senpai wa 17sai is that the artwork costs quite a few $$$, at least from Sixten’s side.

In any case, I want to convey an important message to my 3 faithful readers here: if you can spare a couple of bucks or so, don’t give them to Unicef or that beggar around the corner of your street please donate them to lolikitsune and see to the fruition of this awesome project. Thank you!

RFP – Riannon PVC

nekosasu | July 27, 2009 | 9:28 pm

As announced, I am extensively playing Ar Tonelico, and since I suck at multitasking I don’t really have much time to watch animu. I should dish out a batch post once in a while though, because this current PS2 addiction might last a while – I received Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 this morning, and Ar Tonelico 2 should be in my mailbox tomorrow too. So… unless I tire of gaming, it might be a while until I can do episodicals (I told you, I suck at those!) but then again, I think I’d be better off with just quarter- or mid-seasonals or so.

SO. Have some Riannon pics. Reminds me, I need to catch up to Tears to Tiara soon, I’m 6 episodes behind again.

I’m in your Reyvateil, installing my crystals

nekosasu | July 24, 2009 | 8:33 pm
I'd dive into all of them girls. Especially the one on the left.

Just letting you know that I am playing Ar Tonelico now. It has been catching dust for over one year, yet I never got around to actually get past the start screen. It’s different today, and I’ve already dived a lot into Misha. Just got friendly with Aurica too. Was a little bumpy to get acquainted to all of the game functions, the smorgasbord complicated names, and the pretty lean gfx, but I’m enjoying it so far.
One thing though: too bad KruscheRed hair, relatively flat chest, 15 year old – PERFECT. JUST PERFECT. is not a Reyvateil. I’d install my crystal into her, if you catch my drift.

Anyway, if you don’t see me post often the next few days, you know why now. I might dish out another RFP post in the meantime, though.

Pangya Season 4 in the US – About time.

nekosasu | July 9, 2009 | 11:48 pm

About freaking time.

NTreev has announced that client downloads for Pangya Season 4 are now open. It is not playable yet, but you will be able to update your old client to (or freshly install) the new season of Korean loligolf. More info here.

I used to play Pangya extensively since Season 2, where it was still called Albatross 18 (by OGPlanet), way before the BR invasion, pang hacks, etc. I got myself up to Semi-Pro D until A18 died last March/April, then I quit playing. Too much trouble.

The way Hinano kept ranting on her blog and on twitter these past few weeks was pretty cute because endlessly naive, going over to stupid, but that is because I was in exactly the same position as her before A18 died. I had dumped hundreds of bucks into that game, I had so much fun while it lasted, yet the sloppy and greedy management by OGP increasingly poisoned my game experience ad nauseam. Looking back, I really think I was most stupid back then when I wasted my time talking and talking, believing that the game would become better. Back then, when I still cared. Just like a certain someone right now. ;) And luckily, I am over all of that now.

Well, hopefully S4 will give some oldfags and pros an incentive to play again, despite the many hackers haunting the server at the moment. My old guild, still resident on the PPIrC servers, is hoping to recreate the GGS guild on the new platform.
I may play once in a while too, whenever I grow tired of TF2 and those noob Pyro fuckwads on public servers. If you want to play a game with me, drop me a mail or tweet. My nick there is Hisui(e14). See you on the links!

Edit: Oh and, prepare to face some bugs. LOTS OF THEM.
