Idolm@ster relations, Volume 2 complete

Finally finished the sound effects. I made some changes here and there, but I think this will be the final version. Enjoy!Text only: http://www.mediafire.com/?oxou4e0htzt051lAs an aside, Cael is a happy Colemak user.

Baroque and Beats

So, I got a few things in the mail, and one thing not in the mail.Now, I know I got the American Collector's Edition of Devil May Cry, but I found out there was some missing content in the Japanese version that wasn't in the American. As m…

He's fighting to fill your dark soul with... ah, forget it.

Okay, so it's like lately, there's been all sorts of stuff going on in games that's been cool, and there's been yet another announcement that's got me excited.Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.Coming out in November this year according to one s…

Happy Birthday, Azusa-san!

I think the title says it all.誕生日おめでとう、あずささん!

If you could pick someone to voice you...

So, I've been looking at the small amount of information about 7th Dragon 2020, and it looks like we're looking at a Fall 2011 release. Theme song hasn't been announced, just that there is one, and that already makes me curious. Music is b…

OH MY FROTHING DEMAND!!

7th Dragon 2020! One of my favorite games ever gets a sequel!!!http://dragon2020.sega.jp/Words cannot describe how happy I am! Holy crap, this was a niche dungeon crawler, and now it's back with cyberpunkish flair! I never even thought thi…

おつ

So, I just recently found out that the creator of MikuMikuDance is finally letting it rest. Last May, Yuu Higuchi announced that he would no longer be updating MMD. Guy's gotta move on sometime, right?http://vocaloid.blog120.fc2.com/blog-e…

Colemak 決定!

So, this is what... week two of using the Colemak keyboard layout?You know, it doesn't really feel like it's been two weeks. I'm typing faster in Colemak in two weeks than I was in Dvorak in a month, and I dare say it's starting to become …

The Hanging Gardens of DirectX (XNA and Gamepads, continued)

Apparently, using Managed DirectX with XNA 4.0 causes it to hang. That means that library I posted earlier isn't going to do anything except freeze your program. Blech.I've seen people recommend using SlimDX instead.

麦茶、飲みたい

Also, it was Tsumugi Kotobuki's birthday... yesterday by American standards. Happy Birthday Mugi!... Though, I guess I've been out of the loop for a while, I hear the manga started back up.

XNA and Gamepads

The one thing about XNA that just sucks is that natively, it doesn't support any game pads other than XBox 360 controllers... which kinda stinks if you don't have a wired controller.You can fortunately use something else, though. Managed D…

Genocide

Still at God Eater, and I finally got the bird feather sword I wanted. I swear, a lot of this game I'm spending grinding away... farming Araragami for their random drops.Vajura and Shuu have been on the top of my hit list. You'd think they…

Colemak

So, this is day two of using the Colemak keyboard layout, and well... it's kinda comfy. I don't really have a detailed opinion on it yet, but I figured I'd share a bit of insight on how to get a custom keyboard set up on Windows.For those …

見習い戦士、ついにテレビデビューだ!!

The third Idolmaster anime PV is out, featuring none other than my very own unit, The Squires!Check them out at 3:04. Whoo-hoooooo, I feel so complete.

MMDX 2.0 release... やって来たああああ!

The only thing keeping me from upgrading my compiler to Visual Studio 2010 was the fact that an MMD library for importing models and motions into a program was still running on XNA 3.1, which I think isn't too friendly with VS2010 (there w…

BEHOLD THE POWER OF A NERU!

Okay, so this ain't anything special, but here's my first experience with MikuMikuDance.Okay, it's more like Neru Knife Hand, but eh...How did I get here? ... Through a river of trials and tribulations that honestly could have been avoided…

Oh, by the way...

... I hate scorpions. Especially when paired with electric lions.Yes, I started God Eater back up. That mission was not cool.

Dvorak

Lately, me switching from the QWERTY keyboard layout to the Dvorak keyboard layout has discouraged me from doing too much typing while I get used to it, but I'm slowly getting used to it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keybo…

Melon Pan shall

Search engines can be pretty strange. One of the hits I've gotten recently from Google is "Refridgerator beside a bookshelf". Kinda weird, but pales in comparison to the other.world domination 攻略Number six on Yahoo Japan search. What doe…

見せてやる!

My area has an absolute dearth of Japanese swordsmanship schools... except for kendo, which is like everywhere. So it looks like I'll be taking kendo come Saturday.Appearantly, their next beginner session starts that day, so it should be i…

Wallet May Cry

Finally, got my computer space all set up. Whoo... slacked off a bit and read some K-On after carrying that heavy bookshelf, but I finally got everything set up, except for shelf placement.The desk actually is in the shape of an L, so you …

My furniture is trying to hurt me

Alright, I think I got all the furniture I need for now. I just returned my bookcase for another, and got free food from the place as well (they were having a special today) which was good considering I would've spent 12 bucks on it.I actu…

Public service announcement

So, over the last couple of days, I've had the habit of going out at 2am to get something from 24/7 places. I don't know what it is, but twice now in the same week, some random person has attempted to start a conversation with me in the pa…

My lamp exploded and my chair punched me in the face

So, I've been furnishing my room with the essential computer desk, computer chair, and since I don't have a light fixture, I obviously need a floor lamp.Well, the floor lamp and the computer desk I got on Saturday and Sunday respectively. …

New computer desk

I have a new computer desk now! Or rather, I've had it, it just didn't get assembled until today.... But I'll talk about it later. And my lamp.

Don't you ever die?

Oh, this one takes me back.Time Crisis 3 was the only game I've ever been close to 1LC'ing, not that I'm sure light gun games count.Stage 3, in the room with all the monitors. I ducked the first grenade I saw thrown at me, and hunkered dow…

Night Owl

Okay, I haven't been boring myself, I just keep going to Ace Combat 6 to keep from getting bored.Hard difficulty, Attack Planes only (Yukiho Nighthawk, Im@s Thunderbolt).

Balancing the backlog

Planning my next couple of purchases, along with my next run of the backlog. This probably means I need an action game and a few shooters... though come to think of it, I think I'm good for now on the shooters part. Though, I am tempted to…

見習い勇者 (ブレイブ・ライセンス)

Okay, so... I finished a second run through Idolm@ster 2 yesterday. The playthough lasted like a few weeks simply because I was experimenting around. Sometimes I'd redo the same audition six or seven times in a row just to get some numbers…
