Dream Logs: Luka PV Cosplay Thingy →
If I recall, I had this dream when I fell back asleep around 7~8 AM this morning. I’m at some sort of convention in Japan, and I come across this house-like setting in the con—apparently it was a replica of a location in a Vocaloid PV. There were several Luka cosplayers there, standing by the stairs in a row, and I made my way down the stairs past them into some sort of...

Dream Logs: Cosplay adventure!
It seems like a fraction of my recent dreams have been about conventions and/or cosplay. Last night, I dreamt that it was International Cosplay Day (a day where cosplayers around the world, well, go about their day in cosplay; in reality it’s not for another 4 months) and I was at Valley Fair in a cosplay that I don’t remember. (Which is funny because that’s where the last South...

DJMAX Technika 2.1: Serious Business
Okay, in all seriousness, this whole drama over a particular Technika 2 crew needs to stop. Bitching about a crew’s premise does not solve anything. If anything, you are possibly making things worse. Now I’m not sure to what extent this has annoyed people, since I don’t post on Bemanistyle->F140 a lot, but their antics, at least as of late, haven’t been that harmful....

Tumblr's queue/scheduling system
I swear, it’s one of those things that only works “when it feels like it.” Schedule a post too late into the future, it gets posted too early. Schedule a post on time, it never gets posted and I have to publish it manually. And what does going to their help files yield? Cooooooooooooooool.

That awkward moment where the boss kills your last...
Oh yeah, and while we’re at it, let’s also throw in a few more factors: The boss is your personal “brick wall boss”. You had enough energy for a bomb. In this game, every time you defeat a boss, you can get either a 1-up or energy recharge. Emphasis on the 1-up. (I’m talking about a different mode and boss from the one a few posts ago.)

Arcade Etiquette
It’s come to my attention for a while now that arcades are quite lacking in etiquette. Kids running around mock-playing the machines and looking as if they’re gonna break them, people jumping in when I’m score attacking Razing Storm, etc; that sort of stuff has brought worries and raeg to me and possibly other arcade visitors as well. If you bring kids, monitor them at all...

Dodonpachi DaiFUCKatsu
Last month, I had my proper taste of DFK (as in not iOS) at a shmupmeet, playing the 360 port on a candycab. After months of being hype for it and wanting to get a J360 for DFK (I got Ketsui for it instead), it came off as a bit of a disappointment to me. I wasn’t feeling it. Why? It’s not the autobomb or the loli transformers that really piss me off. Part of what turns me off from...

DragonInstall: I still don't understand why people hate auto bomb so much. Whats so bad about it? How is it any different than if you would of gotten hit? It still fucks up your score.
captpain: To me it's almost like having a health bar.
Udderdude: DFK = Cave's first euroshmup :D
njiska: Oh come now, that's not completely fair. At least your hit box isn't larger than the ship.

So in indirect response to the high volume of spammer accounts that love to follow me on Twitter until the Twitter term “follower” loses all meaning, I’ve become more thankful of people who follow me for more wholesome reasons.

New Year's Resolutions: 2011
Taking back what I said [on Facebook and various forums] about not having resolutions, I came up with a few just now… Actual resolutions: Stop trying to be friends with those who don’t want to befriend me. If someone ignores me, not just once but regularly, then they are not worth the effort. Stop making “friends” with people who are clingy towards me, yet I think are...

2010
A stressful and emotional year, but it was not one without many fantastic experiences and new friends. As long as each passing year is full of new things and surprises, I can’t, like the majority of people, look at the past 365 days and wish they had never happened. To everyone who made 2010 a year like no other: Thank you. Onward to 2011! Exiting jump gate. Be on alert!
