I'm curious how they'll do Thor... that should be interesting. The best part of the CA movie: it's going to be set in WWII. The Cap fucking up Nazis? yes please!

Third time's the charm. I've once again delved into my single favorite D&D setting, easily one of my favorite fantasy settings of all time. Bought up six more books on the setting and have been working my mind overtime on my campaign again. Should be starting up a session in a couple weeks with Poke, Stella, Jim n Kate. Jim and Kate are new to D&D on the whole, and they're both a little uneasy about actual face to face roleplaying, but I think they can do it. I'm hoping to finally get this game off the ground as I've been working on its intrigue and backstory for something like three years now. And while I'm at it, a big 'ol NUTS to D&D4.0. The pox on it and its family. No druid? GTFO of town sir. Good day.

Cross your fingers for Hans' Eberron Campaign revision 3.0.0. >.<

Another blogger joins the community: K8!! She's old school, so read her stuffs and say hi 'n junk. Hi k8!

In other news, here's some actual news about me lately: I stopped playing wow a little over six weeks ago (OMFGZ!?) and have also been working out and dieting for the same amount of time. (OMFGZx2!?!?) So that's kinda weird and crazy and strange and weird. But, hopefully I can lose weight and get buff and impress the ladies. (lulz.) I bought a bike and a gym membership with stella (maybe he'll actually go with me once in a while...) and so far it seems to be going well.

I've also dusted off the remains of what can only be described as a 'life' since then, (doing stuff? wot?) in that I'm hanging out with people more and leaving the apartment now and then. One of my managers at work turns out to be really cool so I hang out with him a lot. Also been hanging out with a cool chick from the jewel deli who likes anime and killing hookers in GTA4, so that's winsauce as well.

Gaming wise I've kind of migrated over to the xbox360, mostly playing GTA4 and rock band which are bitchin'.

The anime scene is still kinda bleak. Getting by on Bleach still and digging up some oldies of late.

Indy 4 was pretty sweet, I personally liked the twist. It's my scene. Better than that was Iron Man though. I'm pretty psyched now that Marvel has creative control over the forthcoming Marvel movies. Hellz yeah.

Resolution: More Fucking Anime

2008-01-11T04:22:00.001-06:00

It's time to get back in gear and once again hit up Japan's animated finest. Tomorrow I grab a new hard drive, and no comcast bandwidth will be safe from the swift wrath and fury that I shall use to pluck the succulent morsels of motion artistry from the deepest bowels of the various internets. That's right, tomorrow the tubes become trucks. BEHOLD!

Sky Girls. This started airing July '07. I pretty much have to watch this show. I mean, honestly. Does it look like I really have a choice? Moving on.

Dead Girls. Started airing August '07. Seems like the next logical step after Sky Girls. Little skeptical based on the odd looking possibly CG mechs, but hey. Mechs + girls can't be all bad. We'll see.

Evangelion Rebuild 1 and Evangelion Rebuild 2. ...Does this scare the fucking shit out of anyone else? I'm afraid to even read what the fuck these are going to be. Yet, I will, and I'll eventually see them, and yet another tiny bit of the very deepest and most personally intimate part of my very essence and existence will be torn asunder violently from the already hemorrhaging remnants of my eternal soul. I'll probably like them.

Minami-ke. Prepare your face for the onslaught of fucking cuteness that will leave you beaten and bleeding upon a round pink bed with a hello kitty pillow. KAWAII!!! Sometimes you just need it.

Petit Eva. This is apparently an internet release, so I don't know if we'll see subs. Not as if it would make any more sense if it was in a language I knew.

Genshiken 2, the sequel series to Genshiken, one of the greatest anime of all time. An anime about people watching anime? Hells yeah. They make it seem like my life could could remain just as lame as always but with more breasts. Where do I sign?

Gunslinger Girl 2 ~Il Teatrino~ Yet another sequel series to one of the best anime I've seen. Things are starting to look up. Haven't caught an episode yet, but from the art I've seen it looks like the animation style is different.

Kite Liberator. I sound like a broken record, but yes, again, another sequel to a badass anime. If you've seen Mezzo Forte or Mezzo DSA, or even the original Kite, you'll know how awesome this anime will be. As long as it doesn't suck like DSA, anyways. This airs Jan. 25th.

Mnemosyne no Musume Tachi. No clue. Comes out next month. Looks crazy and badass, check out the vids on the site.

xxxHolic Season 2. Surprise! Another sequel season to a crazy good anime. It's by CLAMP, our lovely ladies of Chobits and other good things. First season was surreal and awesome. Expecting more. Scheduled for release in April.

Amatsuki. Also scheduled to air in April. Again, no clue. Looks like samurai stuff, which is tasty sauce.

Kaiba. Another show airing in April, this one caught my eye only because it is said to be of the "Romance" and "Sci-fi" genres. A potent combo. Further investigation found this article about the director, who also directed Cat Soup, that crazy fucking anime where the cat wanders around some insane land and seems to die a lot, if I remember correctly.

Soul Eater. April. Looks fucking crazy. Called Soul Eater. That's cool.

Kurogane no Linebarrels. Set to air October '08. This one intrigues me, just by the animation style. I could go for a fucking good mech anime again.

Well, I hope I can find some exceptional anime again. It's been rather dry of late, and I was starting to get disheartened. I steeled myself earlier today into starting up Bleach again, and it was the right thing to do. The filler episodes were over quickly enough (hint hint naruto), and now it's back into the fist-clenching drama I know and love. With that as my backbone, I'll delve into these new shows and hope to find some classics. Time will tell. Ja na.

That's like my specialty and junk.

2006-12-27T00:51:00.002-06:00

So I get into the queue to join a group for Maraudon. Arlach does, I should say. And I get into a group with another paladin, a warlock, a priest, and someone else. Basically the paladin and warlock turn out to be friends and morons to boot. The priest leaves, and so does the other guy. Finally, some level thirty-three priest joins the group. By this time I was soloing some elites on the purple side outside the entrance to the actual instance. For some reason they wanted me to come help them summon this level thirty-three, so I said screw that. They booted me, and I queued up for another group.

Eventually I ended up getting a group with a druid, a rogue, a mage, and another priest. We finally headed in, orange side, and started to get it underway. Long story short, this group was amazing. The druid was bear tanking and was doing a damn good job. We cleared out orange, dipped back into purple for the Celebrian Diamond, and finished up sceptres for myself and some of the other folk. We kept goin' in purple, and were just before the bridge to the princess when the rogue and mage had to take off. So, we managed to nab up a warrior and another mage. Finished off the princess, hopped down to rotgrip, and proceeded towards the goblin.

Let me expand a bit here. I've been hitting Maraudon with Arlach for no other reason than to get him a particular sword that drops from this goblin. The goblin is literally the absolute last boss in the whole damn place and if you start way over in orange like we did, it's a long fuckin' haul. By now, with all the switching and waiting and bullshit, it has probably been four or five hours that I've been in here.

We kill the goblin, we get some crazy adds, the goblin dies, then we die. He didn't drop the sword, but he did drop the other thing I want from him. A shield that is obviously pally loot. It has intellect and mana regen. So I say, hey, I'll just need that since we're dead and done anyways. I click need. The warrior says "so will I." so he clicks need, and wins. Sigh. The moral of the story is that ninjas and/or dumbasses suck.

So that's done, and now I head on over to the internets to see what I can see. Over on andy's blog I see a new video he posted. I watch it, and I am soon enraptured by its content. An in depth look at the Hiroshima bomb. Interviews with survivors, moment by moment descriptions, and a rendered reconstruction. Basically, it helped me grasp the awesome power of an atomic weapon. If this video didn't make you feel somber and thoughtful, you didn't understand the implications.

Let me say this. That type of weapon, in a heavily civilian-populated area, is mass murder. It's not a strategic military objective, it's not an acceptable loss, it's not necessary, and it's not right. People died because the leaders of their country did some bad things. Let's say I live in zone Q. I'm a regular dude, pay my taxes, do my job, heed john Q. law. Zone Q fucks up land X. I don't know why. I was born in zone Q. I live here, I do what I gotta to live happily. Joe Schmo, from land X, comes to my house and shoots me in the face, because my country fucked up his. Does that seem right to you? Cuz it don't seem right to me. Not one bit.

So yeah, I futzed around with my blog some more. Stella was bothering me with "how do I put a background image" and "I'm a nub about blogging" and "pete's a damn nub, I mean wtf!" so I got into a mood and just went with it. Changing the colors around was a lot more bitchy than you'd think, especially getting two different link styles on one page. CSS and tables and ripping my hair out. Anyways, I got it done and I think it looks pretty good. The background image was a lot of fun to make, and worked out insanely well in both 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Believe it.

Other than that I stayed up even later after all that to play fkn sims 2. I know, shutup. My sims have aspirations! Deal with it. I spent like two hours before warcraft furnishing this massive house for my family, the Lawlzingtons, and the goddamn thing didn't save. So I had to do all that shit over again. I went to bed at like five in the morning. Oh well, it's officially "sleep upstairs on some tree boxes day" at work. I shall go do that soon. And when I get home, it's Heroes time. See ya later, chief.

Zed and Noa
Uploaded by JavaBomberman.

So you're not satisfied with the antics of Rock Lee and his random retarded dojo? ORLY! Well, guess what. There's still some good anime out there. Ya, wai.

Kiba. This one has just passed the thirty episode mark and it continues to escalate in excellence. Upon watching the first few episodes, I found myself going, "huh? what is this madness..." But I pressed on, and what began as a seemingly random smattering of odd fantasy/sci-fi tidbits soon congealed itself into a cohesive whole with a totally badass fantasy setting. Basically, it took me a bit to get used to the crazy ass "spirits" that every decent "shardcaster" uses to battle. Spirits are giant floating thingies. No, seriously. As often as they have a humanoid shape, they also look like turtles or flying diamonds... or whatever. Shardcasters will summon their spirits, and let them have at it while they fight each other with energy swords *cough*lightsabers*cough*. Shardcasters also randomly throw little orbs that can explode with different forms of energy or make smokescreens, etc.

I know, that's what made it hard to stick with in the beginning. It was intriguing, but seemed too weird and anti-killing-and-blowing-stuff-up for my normal tastes. However, after they introduced some cool badguys and random killings of family members, things started to look up. Now, thirty-one episodes in I'm hooked. The story is insanely intriguing and the characters are all being fleshed out. There's some nice twists all throughout that keep the "Oh damn!" experiences coming. The story follows Zed, a boy who somehow is teleported out of Calm, his home city that resembles modern day Tokyo. He finds himself in a whole new world, in the nation of Tempura.

And that brings me to my favorite part about this show: the setting. I dare say it comes in a close second to Eberron right now for "Badass Fantasy Places". The setting consists of five different nations; Tempura, Jimoto, Neotopia, Task, and Ulbacus. Tempura is your most basic fantasy type nation under rule by a council of wisemen. They are allied with Neotopia, a nation that follows the "Ultimate Rules" without exception. They are zealots of the highest order, kinda crazy and nazi-like. The "bad" nations are Jimoto and Task. Jimoto is run by the antagonist who, of course, wants to rule the whole world. Task is a harsh nation of beastmen and conniving/insane humans. Ulbacus is the technology nation. Every setting needs one of those, right? From what I've seen, it seems the main (and possibly only) means to travel between nations is through use of "shifting shards". Basically, shards that create teleportation circles.

The music is so-so and at times even detracts from what's going on, though much less often in the later episodes. The first ending was a little strange, which didn't help the initial opinion I was forming of the show. The second ending was a huge upgrade in quality of music as well as animation. The second opening and third ending are both superb, with excellent music and great animation sequences. The show itself, in fact, has seemed to get higher quality animation as time went by. Perhaps budgets rose as interest grew, who knows.

The final word is this: It's not Naruto!! But seriously, this show rocks. It's at a great point and continuing forward superbly. Check it out.

You ran us kicking and screaming through flower ninjas and that one with the fucking rich retarded kid WHO LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON and we allowed it.

Death Note
Originally uploaded by JavaBomberman.

Picture it: a perfect world without crime, without sin. A utopia of goodness and justice. A world you have the chance to create. It's easy. Just grab your pen... and kill someone.

Death Note. I must say, I'm intrigued. A notebook that kills whomever's name you write within. A teen with a vision of justice. A death god with nothing better to do. A mysterious detective with a sharp mind. So far, this show looks pretty damn cool.

The music of the first two episodes is dark and ominous, and it fits the premise very well. The animation is top notch, with some very well done scenes that seem to have a 3D touch to them. I'm looking forward to more.

And indeed, what about this premise. If one had control over who lived and died, how would one use it? To "cleanse" the world of evil-doers and miscreants, is an equally evil mind required? If so, can one acknowledge his own evil as necessary as a means to an end? And where is the line drawn?

Or is it all a farce. Can it be said that one who is capable and willing to undertake such actions is simply as wrong as those he marks for death? Where does the justice lie?

Well, hopefully the point is moot. Unless you know of any crazy death gods who have misplaced their notebooks of death, I think all we have to worry about are guns and bombs and crazy people with... well, maybe the point isn't quite as moot as I had hoped.

A prelude

Lorcast
Uploaded by JavaBomberman.

Lorcast slowly and quietly turned the corpse onto its back. The throat had been torn out. Killed by one of its own. Disgusting things, dolgrims. Both mouths of the creature were caught in silent screams, the tongues hanging dried against its sharp teeth. One of its four arms had been broken and now rested sickeningly underneath its back. The lithe githyanki woman rose from a squatting position over the dead abomination, pulling a torn parchment from a pouch on her hip. The pitch blackness of the khyber tunnel didn't stop her from studying the map to reaffirm her bearings. Silently she began to move deeper through the caverns.

The mind flayer paced across a raised stone cropping in a large cavern far beneath the surface of Khorvaire. A constant sound of metal-on-metal and undercommon ramblings filled the expansive cave. Countless dolgrims hustled about, crafting weapons and armor. As often as they chattered and spat at each other they talked nonsense to themselves. The telepathic orders from the mind flayer filled them constantly, keeping their dual-minds busy with the tasks at hand.

Good timing. Lorcast peered out into the massive khyber cavern from an entryway some twenty-five feet above the cave floor. She slowly scanned the mass of dolgrims below. Preparing for a strike on the surface... I wonder where. Her eyes now followed the mind flayer on the risen stone near the north end of the cave. There you are.

"The mighty illithid hunter." Before Lorcast could react to the raspy voice in her ear, a slimy tendril erupted through her chest from behind. She tried to stand and failed, finding a clawed hand holding her neck. She felt more protrusions tear into her flesh across her shoulders. She quickly tried to reach the silver greatsword on her back. As she moved her hand up, another long tendril plunged through the back of her palm, halting her arm. She turned to stare at her attacker as a long tongue licked at her cheek. Empty eye sockets on a pale face stared back at her. She coughed up some blood as the tendrils began sucking the life from her.

"O'lagarit will be glad to finally have you in his grasp, slayer." The wretched dolgaunt clinging to Lorcast smiled wickedly. "Let's you and I go say hello to him, shall we?"

"Tell you what." Lorcast turned painfully to look down at the mind flayer, O'lagarit, below. "You go on ahead of me, and tell him I'll be right there." Lorcast quickly formed seals with her left hand, as the dolgaunt began to furrow his brow and laugh at the obviously disillusioned gith.

"We'll be going down togeth..." The dolgaunt stopped speaking, and found himself staring not at Lorcast anymore, but right at O'lagarit. He blinked twice, and looked down. He fell with a thud to the stone platform. He let out a small gasp as he realized he no longer had a lower torso or legs. He went to pick what was left of himself up, only to find he no longer had any arms either. "O'la...garit... slay...er.." The dolgaunt died. O'lagarit stared at the body for a moment in disbelief, then wheeled and scanned the cavern.

Lorcast pulled the tendrils out from her hand, shoulders, her back. She threw them on the stone floor next to the dolgaunt's arms, legs, and lower torso. She peered down at O'lagarit who was frantically looking about the cavern for her location. The dolgrims had also started scampering about in search. Not exactly how I had planned this... but so be it. Lorcast formed seals again, and blinked out of sight. She reappeared not a moment later behind O'lagarit on the stone platform below her previous position. O'lagarit wheeled to face her, taking a step back.

"Ahhh... we meet again." O'lagarit regained his composure and readied himself against the gith hunter.

"For the last time, flayer." Lorcast unsheathed the silver sword on her back, the blade seemingly becoming a silver liquid as she did so.

The mind flayer shrugged and probably smiled. "What, you don't enjoy my company anymore?" He stepped back once more and started walking a radius around Lorcast.

Lorcast slowly pointed her sword at O'lagarit. "Let's finish it."

The mind flayer bowed. "As you wish." With a deafening screech the mind flayer threw his arms back and the air between the combatants warped with mental energy that smashed against the Gith like a train. Lorcast braced herself, taking the blast and getting pushed back some ten feet. The gith had hoped for just such an attack, however, and as quickly as it hit her she let out a cry and the blast from the mind flayer was sent back against him. His eyes widened as the blast tore back into him, sending him into a rock wall thirty feet behind. Lorcast slowly walked the distance to O'lagarit, kneeling and pulling the stunned flayer up by his collar.

"I learned that just for you." Lorcast spit onto the mind flayer's face. With her silver sword, she slowly cleaved through the neck of the flayer, taking his head and dropping his body back onto the stone ground. As the dolgrims, screaming and flailing their weapons, began to make their way up to her position, she quickly formed a familiar seal and was gone from the cavern.

--------------------------------------------------

I was gone far too long. Lorcast walked towards the small town of Valan where she lived with her family and many other githyanki refugees. She had presented the head of O'lagarit to the Gatekeepers at Greenheart, receiving much praise, but now she wanted nothing more than to go home. She had been gone for over four months on mission to infiltrate O'lagarit's sanctum, learn what she could about his plans, and finally dispatch him. It will be great to see Aliarn and the children again... little Biaka... Syphin...

As Lorcast came into the clearing that marked the edge of Valan, her heart sank. The city was crumbled and decrepit, and a stench of decay assaulted her nostrils. Aliarn... the children! She ran into the city towards her house. As she turned a corner, she saw a group of githyanki in the street huddled together.

"Hello! By the Five, what happ...?" Her shouted question trailed off, as the group wheeled and stood to look at her. Blood dripped from their gaping maws, and their reddened hungry eyes widened as they saw her. They all began to hasten towards her, some slumped, some missing arms and legs. The overwhelming smell of undeath made Lorcast retch involuntarily. As the group moaned and feverishly made its way in her direction, she steeled herself for battle once again. Unsheathing her silver greatsword and holding it menacingly in front of her, she let out a gasp and a single tear fell as she saw her husband, Aliarn, amongst the group headed her way.

"Zombies." A voice on top of one of the few still nearly complete buildings made Lorcast turn abruptly. She saw a pointy-eared, stocky man with a short-trimmed beard and a long trenchcoat. He had a feral look about him, but his demeanor seemed to contradict his appearance. A short cigar rested between his lips. He finished pulling on a glove, and retrieved a finely crafted bow from his back. As he knocked an arrow and took aim at the group moving to Lorcast, he looked down, smiling lopsidedly.

"I fucking hate zombies."

Yes, very nostalgic. Inuyasha. The first anime I watched with gusto. I have Andy to thank for that. I tip my hat to you, Andy, for adding the catalyst that has started a chain reaction of excellence. It's been about four and a half years now since I saw the first episode of Inuyasha, and since then anime has consumed a goodly portion of my life and time.

Can I just say, hell yeah? I can't quite explain it, but perhaps you can relate. When you come across something that fits so perfectly with your thoughts and ideas that you just know it will impact your life forever, you'll know about how I feel.

At any rate, the reason this is on my mind at this particular moment is because I have delved into the vast Sea of Intarwebs™ and uncovered something magnificent. The complete Inuyasha manga series to date.

A short history: About two years ago, I lived in Iowa. I watched anime as much as I ever do. (a lot.) I was still watching Inuyasha at the time, and it had grown past 150 episodes by this time. Finding out that it was to end at episode 167, I was rather shocked and excited. I was hoping to see an amazing ending, resolving the ever present plot that had driven the show since the first episode. As I reached nearer to that final episode, I began to notice something was amiss. It wasn't moving to resolution. On the contrary, some of the last episodes were nothing but filler side-plots, as I had come to expect to see between the larger main plot segments. Upon seeing the first part of the double-episode final, I was apprehensive but hopeful. It seemed that it was possible to finish the series in the next 25 minutes... even if it was done quickly.

Alas, it was not to be. Upon watching the final episode veer completely away from resolution, and indeed back to the plot point at which every main plot segment inevitably returned, I fell to my knees with astonishment and bewilderment. I was told by the last episode that "the manga in Shounen Sunday still continued."

What the fuck did I care about the damn Shounen Sunday!? I was an anime man to the end. Manga had never been any part of my life. Don't get me wrong, I love reading. A good book can put my mind into another existence. Manga, however, seemed to me like a poor man's anime. Just a comic with no color. I love color! So, that was it for Inuyasha. I dismissed it as though there simply was no other way for me to find out what else was happening to Inuyasha and his stalwart crew. It was as good as gone and unresolved.

Until now. At the persistence of Mr. Nick Stella, I have succumbed to procuring the Inuyasha manga. I would like to reiterate my appreciation of the magical internets, as I was able to find and download all of the Inuyasha manga in one fell swoop.

Now, two full volumes into the manga past the point at which the anime left off, I'm once again hooked. I have quite a few to get through to catch up, and they continue to come out. Who knows, maybe I'll embrace manga as I have embraced anime. What better place to start than where I started in the first place. Inuyasha.

And so, as this seems to me both a new beginning and a look back at old beginnings, I thought it a fitting place to document my appreciation to anime. To those who've brought me anime, and those to whom I have brought it. To the places anime has inspired me to see, and to the ideas that it spawns in my mind. Its impact on me in these four shorts years is astounding, and everlasting. It seems hard to remember a time without it, and that makes me grin.

Arigato, anime. Arigato.

But what makes the Ouran Host Club so special? Why does it deserve its very own anime? Ah, I'm so glad you asked. The answer is Fujioka Haruhi! "Shikashi..." you say, "Fujioka is but a commoner!" Alas, it is true! A peasant amongst the super wealthy of this elegant gakuen can hardly be a reason for such a club to merit its own show. "Ah... so desu. Demo.." I say. "Fujioka-kun holds a secret!"

"Onegaaaii!!" you say! "what is the secret!?" Alas, I cannot reveal it here on this blog. A spoiler is such sweet sorrow, neh? Allow yourself a view of this suteki animation, and satiate your curiousity! Sa, Ikou!

"One, the beautiful looks that attract attention. Two, the fearless rich men. Three, the gentlemenship that cannot overlook the evil in this world. We, the Ouran Host Club, have now come forth!"

Big robots. That surf. In the sky.

That about sums up the first glance at this anime, Eureka 7. I know, I had that look on my face the first time, too. But don't let that deter you from catching one of the best shows out there right now. The plot is still unraveling 20 episodes in, and it gets more and more interesting and dramatic as you go. (Gundam Seed anyone?) Basically something happened a while ago that released "trapar" into the skies, a strange quasi-real energy/substance that allows for surfing in the sky... with the use of special boards. Coupling that with the emergence of the LFO (the giant robots that appeared along with the trapar phenomena), well... you have sky-surfing robots!

It's really good, I swear.

Besides that, I would compare the feel of this anime most closely to that of Bleach. It has that "cool, hip" air to it that keeps you feeling good while watching. You will get the idea as soon as the opening credits roll on the first episode. The music just rocks. I'd have to say it is has the best collection of opening/ending credit tracks currently available. I dare say they are more catchy than those of Bleach.

All around, you'll be hard pressed to find a better show these days. (Naruto! I blame you! *seethes*) Right now, this one is coming up a close second to the champion, Bleach. Although, if you have always dreamed of being the sekai no ichi of baking bread... boy have I got an anime for you.

But that's for another blog. Enjoy.

The bug has struck me again. I will most likely be heading back into the fray once I get myself resituated. (ya know, having a place to live, etc.)

I have been getting "Phat Lewt" envy while I wait for the time I can finally log back in. Specifically, I've been looking at all the end game sets and whatsuch that would suit Sylen the best. I have found that I have the most interest in these particular pieces:

Haruspex's Garb
A Zul'Gurub set, seemingly through a set of quests. Loads of intellect *drool* and some extra chance to crit with spells. My kinda stuff.
Zanzil's Concentration or Prayer of the Primal
Very similar ring sets with lots of intellect again. Zanzil's has added chance to hit with spells, and the Primal set has added healing. I prefer Zanzil's, but they are both very nice. I need to hit Zul'Gurub it would seem.
Cenarion Raiment and Stormrage Raiment
Tier 1 and Tier 2 Molten Core druid sets, respectively. I want these... for obvious reasons. Probably won't see any of them for a bit yet.
The Highlander's Will, specifically Highlander's Lizardhide Girdle
Another great intellect with added spell critical chance item. Seems I'd have to PvP over at the Arathi Basin to get access to this. Sounds like fun.
Wildheart Raiment
The basic high-end druid set. Only a few pieces really intrigue me, and the set bonuses don't really tickle my fancy either. The pieces are scattered all over the high-end instances, save for ZG and MC. I doubt I'll really try too hard for these, as I prefer most of my basic green and blue gear that I currently have.
Claw of Chromaggus or Sorcerous Dagger with Fire Runed Grimoire or Master Dragonslayer's Orb
Well, what can I say. More craploads of intellect and added damage/healing with spells. Seems this is more stuff I won't see for some time, as it's MC and Blackwing Lair gear.
Staff of the Shadow Flame
Another item in Blackwing Lair, but how very sweet it is. Better bonuses than the dagger/off-hand combo above, but I really like the dagger set for proccing with Omen of Clarity. Overall though, better than my current staff. (though I heart my Glowing Brightwood Staff.)
Other Miscellaneous Stuff!!
Some Rings: Band of Sulfuras, Band of Forced Concentration, Dragonslayer's Signet
A necklace: Soul Corrupter's Necklace
These seem scattered about ZG, MC, Onyxia's Lair, and Blackwing Lair. More super high-end stuff I want.

Well, I've been trolling about of late, as you can see. I hope that if I come back I find instances to be more enjoyable than I once did. I think my main problem was going in without a clear plan of what I wanted. Well, now I think I know =P. As for those of you who have no idea what I've just been talking about, at least you got to look at a hot night elf chick for a brief time, ne? Ta-ta.

Golden Boy
Originally uploaded by JavaBomberman.

Golden Boy is a healthy romp for the whole family. Except the children. And the women. And any fine-upstanding gentlemen.

Well, I like it, anyways. And so will you, you pervert. This one's a classic from '95, right on the edge of the anime drawing style change. Though the old style generally turns me away from most anime that used it, this one incorporates a mixed style that let me overlook the older elements. Plus, there's boobies.

Our hero is Kintaro Oe, a seemingly bumbling moron during our first meeting. Through his misadventures with garbage pales, toilets, and computers servers, he strikes us as being "slightly off" with a tinge of "fucking weird." We soon learn, however, that he's actually a genius. (As so many of us are who sniff at toilet seat covers. amen.) It seems that he was a student at a prestigious college who dropped out because he had mastered all the curriculum. Now, he travels around on his bike getting odd jobs to "obenkyo" (study) the world around him first hand.

His employers, always well-endowed young ladies who at first felt about him as we did, realize his potential too late to stop him from leaving. They harbor this growing love for him, hoping to see him once again.

At six episodes, this is a great "sit your ass down on a comfy chair with some ramen and pocky" and watch the whole damn series. Two and a half hours is not too much to ask for a plethora of boobies. And like, storyline and stuff...

What's up with Lilith anyways?

Lilith
Originally uploaded by JavaBomberman.

So you're probably like, "I hear there was this fly chick who Adam was down with before Eve, but who is this cat?"

Well, lemme tell you.

Her name is Lilith. She was a fiesty bitch, to say the least. Adam was all about the missionary, but Lilith wasn't having any of that. So, she took off to do her own thing. Adam was bummed. He was like, "God, wtf? I want Lilith back." and god was like, "Hmm. ok." and he sent three angels down to straighten her out.

So, these three angels, Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, find Lilith and they're like, "We're gonna off 100 of your babies every day if you don't get back to your man." Lilith told 'em where they could stick it, of course. She said she was gonna go eat babies and fuck sleeping guys, but any baby who invoked one of the angels' names would be ok by her. She had a weird code that way.

After that, she fucked around with some demons and maybe even our man Lucifer. She churned out 100 babies every day (to spite God and those damnable angels) and they filled the world with evil. She had her way with men while they slept, and killed babies all up and down the Tigris and Euphrates.

So now you're probably like, "Oh! What a happenin' bitch. The more you know."

For real.

dishes
Originally uploaded by JavaBomberman.

An action I will be taking shortly. So, what's up with doing dishes? According to dictionary.com, to "do the dishes" is to "wash the plates, glasses, and silverware used at a meal. For example, If you walk the dog, I'll do the dishes."

Well, I certainly will not walk the dog, so off to the sink I go. This is not completely satisfying, however. Let's dig deeper. According to Wikipedia, dishwashing can be performed on objects other than the common dish. Apparently, "cleaning, eating, and cooking utensils" can be cleaned using this process as well.

It seems my task has become more daunting. I have expanded the range of items that I must wash fourfold. This is disturbing. Let's see what else they have to say.

The procedure for washing dishes (we'll use this term, though now it can refer equally to dishes, kitchen utensils, glasses, and cups.) seems not to follow a standard. Instead, "the right way to wash dishes by hand is typically a tradition passed directly from parent to child." This is most fortunate, as I still remember the teachings of my mother on this subject. Perhaps I can conquer this task after all.

The preparation for washing dishes seems to require a few items. They are as follows:
1. A sink
2. Water (preferably hot, from the tap)
3. Detergent (a liquad soap product)
4. A brush or sponge (preference or availability will determine the choice)

I seem prepared. I have hot running water, a sink into which it flows, a kitchen sponge, and ULTRA Palmolive® Spring Sensations: LEMON GROVE™ Antibacterial Hand Soap, a concentrated dish liquid.

Well, I shall have at it then, with new resolve. The internet has convinced me that I can accomplish this task with minimal error and ample confidence.

Away!

Falaren of the Wood

2005-11-25T00:16:00.001-06:00

For as long as anything had been, so too had Falaren. That is not to say he was immortal, as all that ever is, does soon perish; but what lingers beyond and within that which can be seen and felt cannot be contained nor qualified like those of material existence. And so it is that what exists after, before, and between a life of flesh or wood or light is something that holds more than simple earthly sensation and being. Falaren, like the infinite multitudes before and after him, was now as he once was and undoubtedly will be an infinite amount of times again: A purpose. A purpose that spawns will and substance. This is just an accounting of once again what always is:

Something changed. The idea lingered but a moment in Falaren's mind before it was dismissed. He didn't particularly care what had changed, and certainly with the forest canopy rushing up towards him, he didn't have the time even if he had wanted to care.

He lithely flipped his body so that he now faced the treetops that sped towards him. Without thought, he knew that Seria, his immense eagle companion was swooping down to slow his fall. As he passed the first branches during his descent, Seria clamped her mighty claws around his shoulders and flapped her giant wings against the force pulling Falaren down. Quickly calculating the best course of action, Falaren called upon the power the spirits allowed him. With a few words and deft hand movements, the trees around Falaren suddenly erupted in motion. The branches started to curve towards him, entangling him as he fell. He slowed quickly and painfully, as the branches didn't take any care to make his abrupt stop very comfortable. Letting out a bloodied cough and gathering himself up onto some of the outstretched branches, Falaren found himself looking down some one hundred or so feet towards the forest floor. Better to hit a few branches than the unforgiving earth. He looked up, noticing that Seria had perched herself just above the newly tangled branches of the trees. He nodded at her; she gave a shrill call and took flight towards the open sky.

As Falaren reached the safety of flat ground, he took in the sensations of the forest all around him. This was his domain. This was his reason for being. He was the keeper and guardian of these woods, and he would keep them safe from whatever unnatural occurrances dared to threaten their life and longevity.

With a familiar duty set in mind, Falaren began to make his way through his woods. He set out to keep the natural balance intact, and wondered where this task would take him first.

Well, time flies when you've lost your mind. It seems I am no longer living in an apartment with Jimmy. As I look around, I notice a cat that is familiar. She lived with me once, some time ago. She lives here now, but I don't. I see a large fish tank with a variety of fish. They are pleasing to the eyes. I hear the movements of a trio of rats, caged. They requested sunflower seeds, but I got them some other type of seeds, small and white and oblong. I believe they like them just fine. The contents of two bags and a laundry basket make up my belongings, save for some delicious coconut butter cookies from Nature's Best. I recommend them highly at only $1.89. The rest of me is waiting in an uncle's living room, stagnant. I will wait about twice again as long as I've waited so far, and perhaps live with a man named Eric. He is a salesman/stock guy. He is payed far less than he deserves, as most of us would claim. Perhaps when that time comes, I will emerge again into the scene with a fiery vengeance. I feel I owe it to my people, and the people of other people. Look for me again someday soon, I may be closer than you realize.

The Life and Times (a recap)

2005-08-16T15:22:00.001-05:00

What on earth have I been doing lately? Well, I've come back to good 'ol Illinois, and Westmont to boot. I returned in mid-June and live with the insanity known as Jimmy. I also live with his girlfriend, MK, and another strange girl creature, Nicole. Here is a numbered list of my goings-on in the past 2 months or so:

Worked for sugarloaf out here, was transferred from the Iowa office. Fired a week ago Friday for "not enough time on route." They can take the 12 hours a day they wanted me to work and shove them up someone else's ass. They probably have.
Had many apartment antics. Lesbians revealed, mexicans kicked out, etc. I mostly watch from the sidelines. With a camera.
Watched Jimmy try to find work. We laughed, we cried. He just started a carpenter's apprenticeship yesterday, and it should work out. Strangely, I started as well... but didn't go back, as we found out that putting the same name for my sponsor as Jimmy was perhaps not a good idea. People were angry. I will hide.
Made many a new friend: Riddice, Dave, and Kyle. Started hanging out with Mike again. Poke's always around. Though now he's away, he will return. Pete's been around a lot too. Also gone right now. Soon, school will suck them all up and times will probably be boring. Even been back in touch with the Admiral! Good times.
Been playing games constantly. Munchkin, A Game of Thrones, Risk 2210, Age of Mythology. I rule and win constantly.
Went to Mitsuwa, a Japanese market in Schaumburg. Friggin'... awesome. Spent more money than I had, didn't mind. Real Japanese food... *salivates*
Watching neet stuff on TV. Digital cable rawkz my world. BSG ftw.
And of course, much much anime is had and watched. Had a weekend scare when the PC crapped out on me. Did many magics and rituals and got her back online. *huggles*

And so, that's the that on that. I also changed my hairdo as per the will of Girlfriend (of Josh & Girlfriend fame). If I've forgotten things, you'll get over it. It's probably time for new anime reviews. Better have at it.

Hey, what does furi kuri mean anyway?

I don't know. "comon, you hafta know! The main character always knows stuff like that!" What is this? Who cares about furi kuri anyway.

Who are you really? "I'm an illusion of your youth, a manifestation of the feelings in your adolescent heart!"

"Legs spread, same width as the shoulders. Body tight, then hit the ball like you're defeating the enemy. Here, the pinky finger is the key. And then you just hit, hit, hit. Ka-kin! Bingo!" What are you talking about? "He who conquers the left side conquers the world, chief."

"Never knows best."

How much do you like him? "Watermelon, or like a panda with a mean face. Or like sandals with pressure points drawn on them. Or the smell of a blackboard eraser. Or a sunday morning where you wake up and it's raining. Well, I like him more than hard bread."

"Hmm... you're scared even though your brain is missing."

When you act selfish like that, bad things are bound to happen you know. "Oh well, I'll have to deal with the bad things then."

Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly.

"I was watching Taro-kun who was making out with a high school girl." "Fondling her yum-yums?" I told you I'm not Taro! "Fondling her cupcakes!? Who's this slut you're fooling around with? Huh? Huh!?" Mamimi! We were down at the river! "Really? Mamimi?" "I bet she does it like a weasel! She's cursed I tell ya!" "Ah, your brother is away so she's sinking her fangs into you, Naota!? Fondling around... fooling around! Fooly Cooly! ... What's fooly cooly?" How should I know!? I'm still in grade school! You think I'm that crazy!? "ha-haaaaaaa.... ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaa..... That's what it is. Naota's gundam hammer. It's that Tomino-esque thing. Saying it's gundam, but basically it's giant-robot anime, right?" I don't know what you're talking about! "Nao's just like me, so he must be doing it. I know he's doing it! Doing, doing it! Fooly coolying!" "I see! Pretty impressive, little bro." "So what do you think, Haruko-san?" "Whadya?" "Oh, cooly cooly? Like that?" "Cool-aid?" "Not like curry powder aphrodisiac licked off my desk." "Death?" "It's this kind of cooly cooly... new modality." "Noodle?" "I mean like MTV!" "Empty?" "Oh, former assistant editor-in-chief, I didn't know you had such a lovely young wife! ooo hoo hoo hoo! Cooly cooLY! YEAH! It's kind of a... cooly cooly dream thing!" "Yeah, cooly cooly is.. you do it like this, with your hands, see?" "oh, right... I'm already in that kind of relationship with Ta-kun here." "Relationship!? How do you mean!?" "Mouth-To-Mouth."

Nothing amazing happens here. Everything is ordinary.

"There, under your hood, is it furi kuri again?

A little Counter-Strike

2005-06-05T22:17:00.001-05:00

Well today I partook in a friendly CS league. What might this be? Well, first, counter-strike is a first-person shooter that I've been playing for many years. It's a counter-terrorism modification for the game Half-Life (one of the best games that has ever existed, and probably ever will.). At any rate, now it's counter-strike: source. Basically, it's CS 2. Better graphics, etc.

The league took place with the Gamers Coalition folk that I've been playing CS with now for... quite a few months. (Their site is linked in my links.) It was a 4 vs. 4 match, and unfortunately we lost 14-16. I must admit I did pretty well though. For the first half I pulled about a 22-11 score or so. Second half I didn't do so hot, but we managed to get some wins near the end. Check out the standings and whatever else you want to here.

Well! Naruto episode 137. I have to say, I am both relieved and excited. "Relieved, Hans? Whatever for?" Well, honestly, the last set of episodes really dragged on. I had hoped Naruto wouldn't come to that, but for a fleeting moment... I had visions of Dragonball Z. *shudders*

I jest, it wasn't nearly as slow. And I love Dragonball Z...

Anyways, we have Naruto, Jiraiya, and Sakura headed out on their quest to find Sasuke. Jiraiya, of course, amuses me to no end with his perverted ways. I am curious to see more Naruto action against these new Orochimaru-guarding-ninja that are after Sasame. (And comon.. who didn't know that was a girl last episode? pfft.. @naruto)

Well, things are looking up anyways. Ano-sa, ano-sa!!

Futakoi Alternative
Originally uploaded by JavaBomberman.

Futakoi Alternative. Another anime. A strange anime. It's cute, funny, bizarre, and makes you go, "huh? oh.."

A bit of backstory: First there was a show called Futakoi. If you break that apart and translate it, you get "Twinlove", basically. What was it about? Well, twins... and... love. Anyways, it was about a boy who returned to his hometown after being gone a few years. The town was... full of twins. He had cute and cuddly adventures anime style with different sets of twins. It was mushy and cute in your classic anime relationship style.

Well, now there's Futakoi Alternative. They took the same sets of twins from the first show... and put them in wholly new and strange settings. The same girls who, in the first series, were just typical silly 8-10 year old girls, are now a pair of gun-wielding secret service girls fighting strange blob monsters on a large cargo jet. While it's flying. The story revolves around one of the lesser pair of twins (in the first show) and a completely new male lead, Rentarou. They are detectives... and random, random things occur. It's simply... bizarre. As an example, the ending sequence is done completely in claymation.

So, of course, I love it.

Smooth Over Everything

2005-06-04T10:10:00.001-05:00

Well. It's nearly moving time. I'm making my escape from Iowa on Thursday. Here's the weird part: Everything seems to be working out. I know, right? What's that all about? I'm waiting for something to go wrong. So far though, it's like pie.

Jimmy got the place. Supposedly a nice three-bedroom two full bath place. sweet.
Jimmy got money. Huh wuh!? Yep, it happened. And the two girls have money too.
My job has been transferred. And I'm getting a raise!? ok, fine!
I just called my uncle... and he's like, "borrow money? oh sure, when will you be by?" so I was like... "... uh " Is borrowing money usually that easy? *boggles*

So... great! I'll take it. In other Jimmy news, I have learned a valuable lesson. Always be careful when banging your girlfriend from behind in a very fast fashion. Things might go in places that will leave you without a happy girlfriend for a few days. But always be sure to call people and tell the story.

Bleach. An anime. A great anime. I just watched episode 34 and thought I'd share my thoughts about the series. Here's the lo-down:

Bleach is set in modern times. The characters seem pretty normal from the start, teenagers and school and whatnot. The twist? Spirits are everywhere. Many souls hang around in the material world, for good... and for bad. And some people... can see the spirits. Ichigo, our red-headed hero is one such person. The good spirits tend just to need some guidance. The bad ones though... they need something a little more "persuasive". Namely, a sword or two to the skull. Luckily, there's a group dedicated to doing just that. The shinigami, or death gods. These are souls who have such great spirit power, they are able to combat the naughty spirits, called Hollows, roaming around the material world. They reside in a place where all souls go, called Soul Society.

Well, through these episodes we see the adventures of Ichigo, a normal kid with some massive spirit power; Rukia, a Death God girl who gets mixed up with Ichigo due to some nasty Hollows, and other various characters who are all very interesting and developed throughout the episodes.

This show is great if you love gut-bustin' intelligent comedy mixed with fast paced ghost-slayin' (who doesn't!?), a great deal of character drama, and big nasty 'ol swords! And the music is rockin' too!!! So WTF!? Check it out damnit!

pink, ya like that?

World of Warcraft. It is a game. A massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It is not run by nazis. Anyways, I play it. A lot. I play on Earthen Ring, an RP server. That means you should be role-playing more than not. It's a loose rule... but generally I love RPing. I have a level 60 night elf druid there, Sylen. I also have many alternate characters: Arlach, level 22 human paladin; Kairi, level 26 human warrior; Sylenin, level 20 human mage (haha, I play with a good friend of mine from back home, and his main character is a level 60 Paladin named Bachstail. Anyways, he decided to make a character; Bachstalin. So, I made Sylenin. We fight for the people. heh...); Gilberin, level 12 gnome warlock; Airelia, level 19 night elf rogue. I also have a few on horde side: Lythak, level 10 tauren druid; Molvoch, level 18 orc hunter; Chromax, level 5 undead warlock. I also did a stint with my friends on a PvP server, and have Corinth, level 32 tauren warrior and a level 9 troll rogue, Kydharin. At any rate, I have come up with a lot of backstory involving these characters and the other characters run by my friends on the server. For example, Arlach and Bachstail were childhood friends, along with Isthian who is run by another of our friends. Isthian and Kairi are siblings. Jim (the friend playing Bachstail) and I have written some stories about these characters and their adventures through the warcraft storyline. It's bunches of fun. For example, here's a story I wrote about Arlach for his introduction:

Arlach, Teller of Tales

Arlach awoke in a dripping sweat. His mouth was dry, and his eyes were pained from the dry air. He blinked and swallowed, finding both actions more painful than usual. He sat up slowly, surveying his surroundings. As he looked around the single-candle lit room, he furrowed his brow. Where am I? The thought occurred to him. Furthermore, how did I get here? He stared at the candle, its light bouncing about happily, but it didn’t give him any answers. He sighed.

A door opened suddenly. Arlach turned and squinted as he faced a man in long robes and a burst of light from the doorway.

“Ah, you’re awake.” The man walked quickly to the side of Arlach’s bed. He handed Arlach a large goblet with liquid. Arlach took it, realizing his desperate thirst. He drank feverishly of the offered water, finishing it quickly.

He took a deep breath, relieved. “Where am I?”

“You are in the care ward of Northshire Abbey. I am a cleric…” The cleric held a hand up as Arlach motioned as though to ask another question. “and no, we don’t know how you got here either. We found you outside, wounded something fierce. I was hoping you might have some answers for us.”

Arlach turned and furrowed his brow again. What do I remember last…? He pondered for a moment.

Arlach had grown up in Southshore. As a boy, he trained with his best friend Bachstail to fight the orcish hordes’ invasion of Lordaeron. The boys were thrown into battle as early as twelve years old, as the orcish invasion was swift and strong. During their first engagement, Arlach was captured. He would surely have been killed, except within the orcish ranks was an orc that Arlach had befriended as a younger child. Arlach’s orcish friend kept him from being killed in the orc camp. Arlach was a great musician and the orcs loved hearing him play his lute. For six years Arlach was a captive in the orc camp. Arlach was set free after this time, and made his way back to Southshore. He reunited with Bachstail, and was able to live in relative peace in his hometown for nearly eight years. During this time, he trained more in the ways of archery and animal taming. He and Bachstail also opened a tavern, and he bartended. He found great joy in listening to the patrons. He did not wish to fight the horde or the undead, as Bachstail seemed intent on doing. He knew his time was short before Bachstail would leave for battle. Tensions were rising as the horde was once again gaining power. Near the end of these eight years, there was talk of the Burning Legion returning as well. Arlach finally decided that he would follow Bachstail in the inevitable war. Before he did so, he also decided he would confess his love for a girl he had been admiring secretly for most of these past eight years. On the eve before he would confess, he met a man named Terikk while sitting in the forest, writing in his journal.

Arlach blinked. He frowned. The last thing he remembered was clear now… he had taken food offered to him by the stranger Terikk. He had eaten the food. He remembered being unable to move… and tasting blood just before losing consciousness.

“I… well I was poisoned I think. I was about to head to Lordaeron to aid the alliance against the new horde and the coming of the Legion. In fact, I should probably be…”

The cleric was taken aback. “Head to Lordaeron…?” His look was grim. “Lordaeron was lost… nearly six years ago.”

Arlach furrowed his brow at the cleric, taking in the information. He looked down at his hands, his arms. I’m older… He sat, staring at his hands for a time.

The cleric stood up. “I’ll... give you some time. Is there anyone who might be able to help you? Someone you know…?”

“Bachstail.”

Arlach was able to be reunited with Bachstail, once again. He realized that he had indeed lost six years of his life. Arlach was unsure of what had become of him during that time. He decided it was best not to ponder it greatly. Arlach resumed his playing the lute, but also during his time with Bachstail and the clerics of Northshire Abbey, began training as a paladin. He found himself less close with Bachstail, as he had once again lost time with his friend. However, Bachstail had an inn that was run by his guild, the Sons of Avatar. Arlach once again became a bartender, and found solace in this. Now, his training as a paladin very often comes second to his love for bartending. Arlach loves hearing the stories of the people, and enjoys telling stories of his past adventures in the forests of Hillsbrad. With his lute and an apron, he is able to forget his troubles and lend his ear to the people.

Click here to see the site for the guild I am in with my friends. The website has some other stories by myself and others. I think I'll link it on the sidebar too. Cuz I wanna.

Also, check this out if you wanna read about the warcraft storyline. Really good stuff.

first post! woot!

Hello, this is my blog. I will be putting some stuff here. I will list some of this stuff.

Anime stuff. If anime could sustain life, I would be immortal. Maybe I am... *ponders on this*
World of Warcraft stuff. I may breathe more than I play this game, but probably not. Second only to anime, for now. (and like... eating and sleeping, I guess.)
Anime stuff. Did I say this already? too bad.
Counter-Strike stuff. maybe.
Random stuff. Like, whatever. Burger King mints are good.
Music stuff. Listening to, playing. (I heart classic rock, j-pop, and playing my Rickenbacher bass. Her name is Vespa. Drums too, sometimes.)
Gaming stuff. Soon, I'll be back in downers grove, illinois. Hometown excitement. Anyways, much exalted and dungeons & dragons will ensue.
Jimmy stuff. I will be living with Jimmy again, and there will always be something he's doing that's worth a good laugh. or a gasp. or a painful stab in the throat.
Anime stuff. choke on it.
Movies and sci-fi stuff. Firefly and Battlestar Galactica anyone? hawt. and star wars, duh.
Possibly, possibly work stuff. Though I can't imagine this being very entertaining.
Other friend stuff. Andy; where's Todd?; Josh and the GF; poke; the admiral; k8 and mr. sir, Stella and gaming krew.
ANIME STUFF. god.

List complete. These are in no particular order. If I forgot something, just remember, this is beta.
