Somebody please nuke the problem mp4 or whatever on the KITTEH <3 page. It's near impossible to load.

I'm currently playing around with Duolingo. I'm not sure how long I will keep using this but it is fun to at least learn some languages at a baby level. For example, I didn't know nouns are capitalized in German and there are masculine and feminine articles (e.g., ein, eine). Also when was the last time I dealt with usted? I recall all the forms of usted to be an absolute bitch to remember. Edit: for clarity.

Ugh, okay, I guess I'm not going car-less in LA. Mothers, man. They can be so indecisive.
-
You can't be car-less in LA. Bay Area, yes, but not SoCal. Public transportation in LA isn't like NorCal. That's just asking to be robbed, human trafficked, sodomized, and used as a drug mule. And that's on a good day.

That is why I told my mom that I would be fine using ZipCar or something. Also it isn't impossible to bike to the stores. Sure the Asian supermarket is waaay out there but I don't need Asian groceries. Besides, I have roommates that do shop there.
So it isn't like I don't have options. I'm just kind of ticked that my parents didn't tell me that they decided to let me keep the car after we decided that I would give it to them two weeks ago. I actually did a...

... good deal of research and planning on living without my own car. That and getting a motorcycle. I kind of want a motorcycle.
Eh, whatever.

Oh good. Mardock Scramble didn't kill my smile for good. I recommend it but be warned, it's pretty dark. I really hope to never really deal with the dark side of society... As far as cyberpunk goes, it doesn't really add to the genre but it certainly doesn't hurt it at all. I find the soundtrack to be pretty good and it fits. It has an amazing rendition of Amazing Grace. Edit: WHAT THE FUCK Originally this OVA/series would have been with Gonzo (eh...) and had Range Murata as character designer. Fucking a man. Yes I am mad for something that happened 9-10 years ago. I need more Murata designs.

I wouldn't call it hard to find but it is in less places than in California. It, especially selection, also depends on the area I think. Then again I don't think I've spent enough time in NYC as 21+ to get a real feel of availability. It's my general impression. One thing though: NYC got the advantage of the easy of getting around. Bottle shops, bars and such are only a subway and/or bus ride away. If only LA got a decent public transit, my life going car-less would be easier.

While California has its own share of problems (some serious ones...), alcohol isn't one of them. I can get beer or whatever at most stores that carries food. I want a bottle of whiskey or vodka at Walgreens or CVS? I can and oddly, it can be the cheapest place to get them. Beer everywhere, even at the liquor stores. God I hate NYC... beer is actually kind of hard to find but on the flip side, the bottle stores are AMAZING. They might not be cheap but god damn, their selections. Then we get whole states like Pennsylvania or, I think, West Virginia. Nightmare mode. 2x price for the same alcohol from across the state line. While most cops don't care (unless you are a business owner), you can get nailed for bringing in any alcohol from across state lines.

So, I upgraded my roasting equipment with a stove-top popper. Main reason I went this route instead of the air popper is that I like the unevenness stove-top roasts. The thing is though, I just did a test run with about ~225 g of coffee beans and it is certainly way more even of a roast. I'm just confused on the actual burner settings and such since I think I may have under-roasted my coffee. Visually it looks to be just a little pass first crack but it looks off. Maybe it's just bad looking beans. The amount they smoked seemed right though... I need to run through my 8 lbs of coffee before I'll make a verdict. That evenness though! Reduce that scorch! Maybe soon I'll be comfortable on gifting roasted coffee.

Titans taberu-ing humans is not moe. And oh yeah, I recently found out about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8julXH_oew It's prefect.

Patema Inverted is interesting and I think it is worth your time. I'm currently going through Mardock Scramble. My smile is gone for good until I get more The Rolling Girls. La la la la. I finished Serial Experiment Lain. It got such a great atmosphere but I'm not sure if the story holds up.

Rockstar is a bit tad excessive there with the delays...

I could've sworn I had replied to this. Anyway, the game is already a year and a half late on PC, at this point what's a few extra weeks? I mean, we've waited this long already. I feel like anyone that's in that much of a hurry to play it has already done so a long time ago.

They probably forgot. "Hey Jimmy werem't there something we were supposed to be workin' on?"
"I can't think of anything. Let's go take another dip in the pool of money."
*several months later at the pub*
"Oi fook m8! We were supposed to be working on the PC release of GTA5!"

I mention my roommates' cat a lot so i figured I should post the little murderous fur ball. He really doesn't allow me or anybody that isn't his human parents touch him, yet he always comes up to me and splays out in front of me as if he wants a belly rub. He's so murderous that I really can't tap him on his head for some discipline. So I fell back on laundry basket timeout. But... but... I think he is warming up to me. And no, Mally don't surf.

Try being a conservative Final Fantasy fanboy. Truly I want to give XIII another chance but the memories of everything leading up to FFXIII release was just pure disappointment. Maybe it will surprise me like XII (which I should get back and beat but I can hardly care for the two tacked on "main" characters).

Suikoden I decided to pass on P3FES for my next RPG since I just got done with NepNep. I think I have enough modern anime bullshit for now. General impressions so far is that this is what Trails in the Sky would've been like if it came out back on the PS1. I can sense the large amount of lore and backstory already without a single battle. I'm getting giddy thinking about it. I also got to say, the walking speed is painful. Woe is me who doesn't have a speedup button! Edit: Inventory management is odd. I think everybody has their own bag but all battle loot goes to the main character. I also don't see a slot for weapons so I the only thing I need to do is to set my characters up with armor and accessories. Strange game. In not a bad way, this game is surprising me with its mechanics. Also the sprites does scream (late) 1995. Got to remember this is before Final Fantasy VII (early 1997) and their 3D models and FMVs. Hell, this was before Wild Arms (late 1996). So this is very interesting to see sprite work hasn't evolved much beyond say FFVI (early-mid 1994). To be honest, it looks kind of funny and even more dated than FFVI. I blame the higher detailed sprites. Graphical history folks! Edit2: Looking around at JRPGs that I didn't play, Breath of Fire III actually has a similar battle perspective as Suikoden. You can see how devs were more familiar with working with the PS1 hardware. Smoother sprites.

Holy nepu, I beat a game!? Now to 100% the game and get the true ending! Also apparently with all the DLCs, the level cap is now at 999. Anyways, the game is perfectly fine. Level design is a bit bland but the core gameplay is good I think. If this was a static line battle I would have a lot more problems with it but Re;Birth gets around that with some freedom of movement during battles. One interesting to note is that your battleground is exactly where you initiated the battle. So that is kind of neat. Though there is a battlefield area limit so I quite frequently get stuck during maneuvers. I kind of wished that we can control 4 characters though since we do have 4 goddesses. It would also make all the character you can potentially get more manageable. Seriously, if I grind it all out I think I can get like 15? Now, for the cutscenes, I wished they had more portrait sprites on screen at once. Sure, the cutscenes are based on visual novels but I wished it had a bit more jazz to them. Music could be better too but I won't hold what they have against it. There's a few other stuff that I hope gets fixed with Re;Birth 2 but I don't seem to recall what they were...

I'm not sure why the PSTV slipped under my radar.

I don't get the joke Cowboy you just seem to be stating a fact.

Probably because there's nothing to play on it.

I use mine primarily for PS4 streaming to the other room. Or, I did before I got P4G.

Needs to die in a fire if it sacrifices gameplay. Too bad this game didn't turn out to be a PS4 exclusive Wolfenstein-like game.

Yup, I was just venting. Not quite but I do throw a figurative book at them with the full force of Dean's office behind it. Automatic class failure with expulsion from the university. Fun stuff like that make me depressed and well, angry. They wasted my time (Not only do I have to deal with them but it easily doubles the workload to make sure there are no others for this assignment and all future assignments) and ultimately their time and money over a small assignment. I don't like being an asshole, even a justified one. I'm totally excited for the day I get a fake excuse of a funeral or some junk.

And I did. Season 1 last episode. Oh my but of course, being Space Dandy we got the silliness coming back in in awesome fashion. Also Adélie comes back, right? RIGHT!?

It's a general "you".Nobody here.

Don't fucking cheat on any assignment, let alone one as simple as this. Make up numbers and do a quick and crappy "proof" photo that you did the lab activity if you like but god damn I will academically murder you if I catch you. The first sheet you ever see has the instructions and caveats on working with another person. We even emphasis on the rules of collaboration in the info slides prior to the lab. Claiming ignorance will not save you.

The fuck? Is 1886 a Gundam anime in disguise?

http://www.posemaniacs.com/thirtysecond This might interest some of you here. This flashes poses for you to copy and you got to sketch them up in the time limit you set for yourself. I might start doing this nightly for 15-30 minutes. I'm just currently unsure if I should do skeletal work first or just jump right in to do the poses with flesh and all.
