Melancholic

Well, it's probably because I rarely ever listen to Rin songs but I TOTALLY DIDN'T KNOW THIS SONG EXISTED. I think I haven't really heard a lot of good rin songs so I usually skip over them, but this one has a very nice and catchy melody. Rin's voice is done pretty well here, although I think other vocaloids (like Miku) could probably sing to the same effect, but definitely not a bad song for Rin.

I guess I could say,

"全然知らない×知らないもん"!!!

ba-dum-psh. :V

外見と内面

Briefly checked the Vocaloid charts recently, haven't found anything that interesting. This one isn't too bad though.



Don't feel like thinking too much for the title, but it probably means something like "looking inside from the outside".

雪月花

A better song than Checkmate, I think, and should have gotten 1st instead. I like the vocals on this song A LOT better.

Title: Snow-moon-flower? :V

Also the picture is nicer. Actually no the pictures are about equally nice.

Checkmate

This is part posting the video, part seeing how to make this work on my blog. (formatting has changed, kind of confusing)

The vocals on this video aren't that great imo (I think they made GUMI's vocal go way too high), however for whatever reason, I think this song would be appropriate to play for mahjong. :V

I hate how they made this into pure HTML and not a combination of both, like the blog format was before.

Mahjong: Short Game

This was supposed to be a full 2-wind game for mahjong.

 I ended it in the first round, without even me losing my dealer's seat. 3 rounds as dealer.


12k hits each round. Ron, Ron, Tsumo.


 MAN WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?!?

 To see how short it is, Go here: http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2012042214gm-0009-9001-49700204&tw=0

BTW I'm probably going to lose all my luck from here on.

六兆年と一夜物語

Hou-shyie this will boot up IA to be one of the best vocaloids along with the originals, along with her other songs she's been singing. Our next generation GUMI has arrived!

Actually, I'm not sure if I like IA doing the fast parts on this song. Although I have to admit the instrumentals on this song is so cool I couldn't really care less. :V

The title (from not looking at any sources) apparently I think says "6 years and one night story"...maybe.

EDIT: Blah says it's 6 trillion years.

...Like an Epic Role Playing Game.

In my lab, preparing and meeting with our PI is like getting to the (reoccurring) final boss of the game.

You grind by doing research and gathering results.

You form your party members, ie your lab advisor, the associate professor that helps you a lot, and one or two graduate students that have work related to yours.

You try to find the best and rarest equipment - your presentation slides and what pictures you can put in them.

You finally make the encounter and you get floored - losing some valuable items in the process. Like your opportunity to go to Hong Kong.

...Well, the last part hasn't happened yet. HOPE I GRINDED ENOUGH.


Of course, the one thing this has and RPGs usually don't is a time limit in which you have to present yourself to the boss by (otherwise you could grind forever right?).

...HEY, IT'S LIKE A REALLY HARD ATELIER GAME. Atelier Cube, lets go! :V

China

I thought this slashdot comment was a really nice read.

In other news my sickness has rebounded and I once again will have to push back things I need to do so that once I get better I can feel the meaning of a second hell.

ネムラネーゼ

Good song.

Too sick, no energy to think up better commentary or even translate the title.

Airing

Series which I claimed I would watch as it aired, but eventually stopped after like 2 episodes:

World God Only Knows
Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai


Series which I claimed I would watch as it aired, but I didn't even watch it:

Black Rock Shooter
Toradora

Series I am actually watching while airing:

Smile Precure.


...wait, why? :V GODDAMIT PIXIV. It's not even a good show, it makes me facepalm about 3 times per episode...
