ものまね当てに超うぅっ弱っ!

If any of you have heard of the game Casting Voice, it's Bandai Namco's new production game where you raise voice actors instead of idols. Kind of a nice concept, and the preorder bonus was a couple of download codes, so I decided to go fo…

If I had room for a display case...

Earlier this week, my Rin Shibuya figure that I bought from AmiAmi came in. The figure is nothing short of stunning.However, when putting the figure together, I was a little worried because fitting all the extra pieces (the mic, cable, and…

Purple screen of death

Anybody deal with viewports in XNA? Anybody ever try, for let's say split screen play, to render half the backbuffer in one rendering pass, and the other half in a second pass? Ever get a half screen of purple and a half screen of actual r…

いつだってユウキ (Always Brave)

Okay, so this is old news by like a week, but Yuki Himekawa finally is getting voiced! Whooooo!The third Cinderella Girl poll took place a few weeks ago, with the usual promise that the top 5 idols will debut as a unit with their own CD. H…

PS Vita's left analog stick bugginess

So, I was playing around in God Eater 2 yesterday, and I got hit with the most annoying bug. Pressing up on the left analog stick's up direction didn't make me run at full tilt. I was like as if I were running at half speed.It looks like t…

I am gooooooood (eater)!

Seeing as I've just picked up God Eater 2, I figured I'd do a review on the first games. I actually picked up the original God Eater before Burst came out, and the changes between each were pretty... dramatic.The first God Eater was Namco …

The keyboard as a canvas

I've been kinda dragging my heels on some of my programming experiments, but I think I've finally got most of what I set out to accomplish this time.In a nutshell, I was able to take a 3D model, and put it in a scene...... and turn that sc…

Point and click adventures

Once again, I'm spending money on computer equipment. This time, it's a replacement for my mouse.While my A4Tech XL-760H has served me well, I've recently started feeling a bit uncomfortable middle clicking with it. Honestly, I kinda thoug…

I need a new name

I actually did a bit of spending before the new year, but I guess I haven't gotten to saying what all I got.For a while I've been thinking I'd get a Vita as there are a few games for it that I want, and last December I finally decided to s…

Dang it, Chrome...

Every so often, there will be a release of Google Chrome that's unusably horrid. Right now is one of those times.Chrome itself is fine and all, it's just Pepper Flash (which it uses for Flash movies) is horrendously slow. The video is chop…

At least there's another forwarding service that'll combine shipping now...

Up until now, I've kinda begrudgingly used Celga when I needed to get stuff from multiple places at once. Their commission fees I find a little excessive, their packages take a while to get to you, and their website isn't the best in the w…

大凶

So, I'm finally back from vacation.However, I have to say that I have had terrible luck with meals the day I got back. On the airplane, I decided to have the beef and potato... which was partially opened when they gave it to me. They gave …
