How I wish I could start every day of my life

Wake up in the mornin feelin like....

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Finally finished this 64 episode beast the other day (after starting it somewhere around new years), the first half of the series doesnt really give you much incentive to keep watching and as a result I almost actually dropped it 1/3 through, but I stuck with it because it has like.. the highest rating on AniDB at the moment (9.4 with 2k+ votes)

Turns out they were right, the story picks up somewhat half way through, and then the last quarter of the series was essentially a clusterfuck of action scenes loosely strung together by a plot with more twists than your average DNA molecule.

The series reminded me alot of an old Arnold Schwarzenigger film, first 3/4 of the film is buildup, setting the story, introducing the characters, and lots of little action scenes, and then the final quarter is all out action - Difference here being the average action film is 90 minutes, equating to about 15-20 minutes of finale action, the action quarter in FMA:B Lasts around 13 episodes

This is pretty reflected in the average episode votes...



Anywho, what im basically trying to say is, The series was really fucking good. Its a memorable story with a huge cast of likable and distinct characters, the art was fancy and the ending was satisfying (unlike the end of the 'original' Full Metal Alchemist series). If you saw the old series, this is a fun trip back to revisit old characters, If you didnt see the old series, this will probably be a nice treat into an interesting universe of alchemy.

Damn Lemon Whores

Yep. This is most definitely the most bizarre porn intro ive ever seen.

Akinator (aka. The time waster)

So i only just discovered Akinator through ponychan, this thing is fucking amazing.

Basically, you think of a character, answer some questions, and it guesses who you was thinking of.

I thought it was pretty good when it guessed Albert Wesker (Resi) and Harima Kenji (School rumble), but then it guessed that I was thinking of Angel the Bunny (MLP) which was like.... wat.
(it also guessed Ed Elric, Dr Robotnik, Bruce willis, but those are kind of more common i guess)



Give it a try, ask it to predict some semi-common characters, then try to fuck with it by picking someone obscure

edit: Okay jeeeeeeeezus... This guy knows fucking everything, Successfully guessed...
Hirasawa Ui (K-ON) , Riza Hawkeye(fullmetal alchemist), Tsukamoto Yakumo (school rumble), Kamiyama (Cromartie) , maggey byrde (phoenix wright) ,General Ouromov (007 Goldeneye)
I thought i'd try Ryze (from League of legends) and it hits me with..

minecraft project - First floor done!

Now to put the first floor ceiling in, lighting, and then start working on the second floor - which probably wont take as long because there is less space to work with (balconies and shit)

Nichijou TV (Spring Anime 2011)

So episode 2 of Nichijou came out today, and its fucking fantastic.
I havent laughed so hard at an anime in a while, its bizarre humour is pretty refreshing amongst all the standard moeblob school comedy bullshit that is every other show nowadays.

If you liked Azumanga Daioh, you should check it out

I also made this, because im really fucking cool.

Minecraft project update 2

Have to say, wasnt expecting to have to do essentially 3 layers of floor - that being background, lightstone and then visible floor and glass. (along with having to need to do 3 layers of ceiling per floor later)
Can see some testing of light sources on the left corridor, it looks pretty good (ill screenshot it when ive done the whole corridor), but it looks kind of like office lights.

Everything seems to be coming together pretty well, I had to brainstorm for a few minutes to come up with a floorplan/blueprint sort of thing though because i was pretty lost.

also. Looks like im going to have to remove the glass ceiling that i made because its too low, just as well i didnt fill in the whole thing.

huge minecraft project

never made anything on this sort of scale before, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Will keep you guys posted on how its coming along

I was really inspired by this huge underwater thing someguy made (video embedded below) , and thought 'I want one of those in my world' , then went and drew up a quick sketch thing of a building to give me an idea of what i want to make. No doubt though this is going to take ages to make, and its probably going to be a bitch just to properly design the interior, I like symmetry a little bit too much and I can already tell thats going to hinder me greatly.

The progress..

Shit like this exists?

I so fucking jelly.

Conclusive proof that the average gameFAQs user is about 10 years old

Any other series would have been fine, even if pokemon was highest, it wouldnt prove that gameFAQs users are mostly children, because pokemon was actually a good game.

(I totally voted Donkey Kong Country, but Advance Wars or Punch Out would be fucking sweet too. Not much of a Fire emblem or Metroid fan... )

Streets of Rage Remake project is now out

http://www.bombergames.net/sorr_project/



Found it on blackcats and I have to say, it does what it says it does
Its... Streets of fucking rage. Remixed, Remade, Re-coded , Re... you get the picture.

If you enjoyed Streets of Rage, its definitely worth a look, theres 2 player support (obviously) and even an AI teammate mode for you lonely hearts.
There is, sadly, No online support, but its completely reasonable given that this is a fan based thing, and proper netcode and etc would probably take fucking forever to make.

I imagine i'll play through it at some point with my brother when I go back home

Update: Okay so I played a little more, enough to get to the beach in SOR1, the game is really really well made, like you can tell alot of love has gone into this. I also forgot how much i love streets of rage, the music in particular was making me nostalgia the fuck out, the background beats, the jingle when you finish the level.... Even the soundeffects are really well done, from the crunchy punches to the unforgetable FWOOM that the pipe makes.

So the human body can be pretty stupid sometimes.

The body needs iron to function properly, it stores it in a molecule called 'Ferritin', now here is where stupid comes in...

~~~

"Hemosiderin
- If capacity of storage of iron in ferritin is exceeded, a complex of iron with phosphate and hydroxide forms called Hemosiderin
- If burden of iron increases beyond normal levels, hemosiderin can be deposited in the liver and heart, this can reach a point where function in these organs becomes impaired and death ensues."

Why would you....
This is like a guy living in a closed box that likes money so much he decides to throw away all his food to fill his fridge with money and then proceed to block all air holes in the room with money.
I dont even.
Why do mechanisms like this exist? :|

Toriko Preview

"In a world where the taste and texture of food is extremely important there exist individuals known as Bishoku-ya (luxury food providers) who specialize in the acquisition of rare ingredients and animals. Toriko is one of these hunters and it is his dream to find the most precious foods in the world and create the ultimate dinner course. As one of the most skilled hunters in the world he is regularly hired by restaurants and the rich to seek out new ingredients and rare animals. A man with inhuman ability, he utilizes his incredible strength and knowledge of the animal kingdom to capture ferocious, evasive and rare beasts to further his final goal, the ultimate dinner course composed of the most delicious food in the world. He is currently accompanied by a weak and timid chef who, inspired by Toriko's ambition, travels with him to improve his culinary skills and find rare ingredients. "

'World Order'

So i only discovered this group (?) the other day when I saw it in my youtube newsfeed





So, crazy japanese electro-house group with some elaborate choreography, no big deal right?
And then i did a little research on the group, and it turns out the Lead singer(?) , producer and so on is an ex K-1 Fighter, built like a fucking beast with full tattoos and shit.
Then doing a little more research found this video...



This guy is a fucking boss.
