Vocaloid Art (naoto)

Amazing art is amazing. GUMI-CHANNNN~~~ (IA too~)

Atelier Meruru 2nd Playthrough Pt. 2

I may have said this before somewhere, but when Totori is on the topic of making homunculi she has the best and cutest face ever.

"e-he! I can't tell you yet!"

You truly wonder what's going on in her mind... :V

EDIT: Story parts aside, I have already begun the "overpowering chars to break the game" process. I notice that most people in the boards are going for speed such that enemies can't do a thing before they get obliterated by Meruru's team. because of the whole "doesn't use a part of your day if meruru doesn't get a turn" thing, this would make sense - pump the speed of your allies so that they obliterate everything before Meruru can even move. For the most part this is cool with the common enemies.

For bosses though, it's cooler to see their attacks and see how you can withstand them! So I'm going the defense and HP healing route. Sadly defense is mostly for non-elemental attacks only, and getting full elemental immunity for all 4 elements seems like a really difficult task. Luckily, we have HP regen! And luckily, we have a ton of traits for HP regen that can stack on top of each other! And then we have auto-KO recover (after one turn)! So essentially the only way an enemy can obliterate my team is if it launches some wide-scale attack that would OHKO anyone... well... lets hope that doesn't happen. But...

Totori's HP regen is looking freaking amazing right now, though. Heals for 78 HP per turn without items, with the mystery Ankh it heals for 100 HP per turn, then, pocketwatch for auto KO recovery... HAHAHA COME AT HER YOU GUYS, JUST TRY AND KILL HER, SHE'LL COME BACK ALIVE LIKE A ZOMBIE HAHAHA

Oh right we can also top it off with some Lively or Pepped Up trait and along with the convert function which absorbs HP from attack HAHAHA TOTORI IS UNSTOPPABLE HAHAHAHAHA

Atelier Meruru (2nd Playthrough)

THESE ENDING REQUIREMENTS HOLY CRAP WTF WTF WHAT WHAT WHY IS IT NOT JUST "increase char friendship" ;o; ;o; ;o;

Ren＊Ai

The song that starts in the middle.

No, seriously. :V Certainly gave me a "wait, what?" feeling since I was tabbed out to do other things, and suddenly the pace of the song changed.

It's not too bad of a song, but then again I don't think there's been a lot of good songs lately. There seems to be some theme of China and GUMI for whatever reason, which is interesting, but not that good sounding imo. Oh, there is also this rather realistic and slightly freaky video of Miku singing Disappearance... the eyes don't have enough saccades so the model doesn't turn out as realistic as it could have been (putting aside the unrealistically perfect proportions in other parts of the body). But that's not this video. This video is LOVE!

I say QUALITY (color) DOUJINSHI

Rinshan

Closed Kan on dora.

Flipped over 3m.

drew 4m, also dora.

was winning tile, as well as keeping me in tanyao.

Took a while to get my first rinshan, but looked to be a good one! :V

Hey look red dora too!

Neptunia Anime

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-08-28/compile-heart-neptunia-rpgs-also-get-anime

In honesty I really didn't think Neptunia would get an anime, at all, considering it is a relatively not-so-great series although the concept is pretty amusing.

BUT HEY

NEPGEAR, RIGHT? :V

I think I'd have preferred an Atelier anime series though.

EDIT: What IS apparently happening with the Atelier series: http://andriasang.com/con2ew/atelier_totori_vita/ <<< proof that Totori is the best 

Growing Brains

http://www.nature.com/news/tissue-engineering-the-brainmaker-1.11232

Since this is Japan, I hope that in the future we can have home-grown moe maid humanoids~!

I saw a good amount of fanart for this song so I wanted to check out and see what it's about. Apparently, it's about China! :V I think the song in itself isn't too bad, but I believe the acting and the lyrics are what makes this video pretty amusing. I don't understand all of what's going on, but I do notice the times when the VOCALOIDS try to speak Chinese, which is pretty funny.

The title seems to say some kind of fanclub... what does google translate say?!? ...nope google translate isn't helping me either. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Atelier Totori 2 (Unfinished, part 2)

From now on I'm no longer calling this game "Atelier Meruru", but in actuality it will be "Atelier Totori 2" because clearly (to me) this is just a sequel to the first Atelier Totori game. And "Atelier Rorona" is of course "Atelier Totori 0".

TOTORI IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OKAY.


Anyway. There is some early spoilers but I highly doubt anyone who is interested in the game will have not played it by now.


So Hom-chan is back! I'm happy, but I liked her outfit in the first game better :(. But still, nice to have artificial humans running around doing my work for me. We get them pretty early in the game too, so that's nice, along with the registering of items. This is useful considering how annoying it is to synthesize items that require like 7 steps when you start with the basic gatherable ingredients...

Oh yeah. Astrid is such a jerk. :V

Atelier Meruru (Unfinished, Part 1)

Oh god Totori's win pose is so cute.

Oh man oh man oh man TOTORI I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK TOTORIIIIIIIII TOTORIIIIIIIII


...what? Meruru? Who's that? :V

Comiket 82 Day 3

1. That feel where you go in circles in an area for so long after having bought so much stuff, you aren't sure if you bought doujin from that good looking booth already or not.  (and of course you have too much stuff you're carrying to bother looking through and checking)

2. People say its awkward when they see a cute little girl selling hardcore ero doujin. I find it more awkward finding 50-60 year old people selling loli moebait stuff... >.> Oh well, don't discriminate!

3. Screw east hall ero doujin, west hall 2 original works is where its at. Everything is SO AMAZING THERE.

4. Comiket traffic is like everyday Hong Kong rush hour subways, except you tend to have goods you want to protect rather than yourself. But I daresay Hong Kong at the subway is a worse experience in general than Comiket.

5. Somehow, I had the MOST stuff I wanted to buy today, but I finished up comiket the earliest today. I blame pointless 3 hour lines in the previous days which I desperately avoided today.

6. Advice for future comiket goers: use the backdoor to go between east-west. Less than 5 minutes to go from one hall to another. I had no trouble going from west to east to west again.  It was more trouble going through the halls itself, especially east hall. 


...I need to buy a new suitcase. :|

Comiket 82 Day 2

"Hah! I don't need to buy tapestries, they're useless!!"

*buys 2* "..."




"Okay, no more bags, I can't carry all of them back and they're terribly hard to pack. No more bags, no more bags."

*gets special edition set because... of the bag* "Wait... shit."

Comike 82 Day 1

Buying that seemingly useless bookcase cover was the best purchase I have ever made so far.

History Cycles

http://www.nature.com/news/human-cycles-history-as-science-1.11078

This is pretty cool, mainly because I really can see something happening in 2020. Judging just from the rancor on facebook alone, it will probably be something about gay rights, industry copyright vs freedom of internet, or both.

I think the medium might be different though. Whereas before there is a lot of riots straight out on the streets, I think there's going to be a lot more focus on online activity when the next "revolution" comes.

Eerm. wtf, really? :V


ga-GAOooo... :V

チルドレンレコード

Actually, I don't think song was that great at first but it kind of grew on me again. It's Jin I guess, what do you expect. Although this song hasn't let me win a mahjong game once yet. Probably not the best song to play for mahjong. I think IA isn't a good choice for music when I play mahjong. :|

Title seems to say "Children Record"... okay... :V 

Pathogenic Treatment

http://www.nature.com/news/can-bacteria-fight-brain-cancer-1.11080

This is a pretty scary concept... purposely try to boost the immune system response with an infection to fight off cancer? That's dealing with the immune system, bacteria, and cancer at the same time... this is a really scary concept. :|

The people being treated have to have a REALLY healthy body other than cancer for this to work!

Its a deco27 (and sasakure.uk) Miku song on my birthday! Happy Birthday! A song like this must be great right?!?! Well, honestly its not the best, but still not too bad. Something not too bad to listen to in loop for a while.

In other news, its my birthday but not much exciting stuff happened. I was supposed to have a birthday dinner but it got cancelled, so instead I watched smile precure... for a rather gloomy birthday Smile Precure put a smile on my face... ;_;

Beauty goes "こっち　こっち!" Waaah she's so cute! :V

Exploding Termites

Just going around, looking at random articles lazily when suddenly I see:

how can I not read this.
