I have been falling behind on squealing about the impending Crystal Bearers release because I keep saying "oh I will throw that into that big Crystal Chronicles pimping post I plan on doing"

By the way planning on pimping the Crystal Chronicles series.

ANYWAY I've been creepin' on the Neo GAF thread for the game, and someone has been posting screenshots from their japanese copy of the game, and I think this really speaks for itself:



That would be a moogle in sunglasses jammin' on a chocobo electric guitar. With flames on it.

( More FFCCCB Stuff Under Here )

That's right. An Oldskool/Newskool TMNT crossover movie.

It airs this Saturday. I'm having flashbacks to gradeschool birthday parties at the roller rink already.

Today is Friday the 13th and there is a man in my backyard with a chainsaw.

I thought that I should note this.

Comment to this entry with GET TO WORK HIPPIE and I'll ask you five questions, then you make a post answering them with this bit over them or a phrase of your choice. brittyone asked me the following:

1) ...I probably have some idea abut what the answer is already but what's your favorite Final Fantasy and why?

It's actually a three way tie between Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy VI. Tactics for its equally complex and rewarding gameplay and plot, IX for its characters and music, VI for music, female protagonists, Kefka, and general glitchiness (even if it was fixed for the U.S. the Drill hat glitch is the best thing ever).

2) Any favorite video games that aren't from Japanese developers?

Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. My love for Bioware puts me at odds with my loathing of Electronic Arts, as they are publishing their Mass Effect and Dragon Age titles :(

3) Favorite music?

At the moment my musical tastes have mellowed out a lot, but I have long been a fan of Bad Religion, Weezer, and Stone Temple Pilots. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Loreena McKinnit, Emilie Autumn, and Phoenix. Honestly you can get me to listen to any genre, though.

4) Ignoring Dagger, who would Zidane like to date in camp?

Katara, Kairi, Namine, and Rikku. :Db

5) If you had a million dollars, what would you do?

Pay off my college loans, buy a car, and getting some dental work done. Hopefully the rest would pay for car insurance and upkeep while I continue to look for a job. I HAVE EXCITING ASPIRATIONS AND GOALS.

I don't care how stupid it is, I want a Street Fighter Snuggie, dammit!

Also, must remind self that I do not need First 4 Figures' Zora Tunic Link. I have an action figure made from the same damn sculpt with points of articulation. Hnnnnnnnnnnnng the Shieeeeeek!!!!

Because I felt like it, Amano picspam. All images link to BIG MCLARGEHUGE scans.

( AMANO, FUCK YEAH! )

Hyadain did an Ultros song!



My favorite is still Rap de Chocobo, though.

Ssssssooo, screenshots of chocobos in FFXIII were released.

( Wark the fuck!? )

If I am in the market to actually purchase music, as opposed to pirating it, which sites do not load their .mp3s with a bunch of DRM crap?

If you're a fan of the zombie genre, you will probably like Virus by Abney Park. It deserves a spot on any Resident Evil FST, at any rate!

The other side of tragedy is discovering the people who rise up to meet it:

"Sergeant Munley — a woman with a fierce love of hunting, surfing and other outdoor sports — bolted from her car, yanked her pistol out and shot at Major Hasan. He turned on her and began to fire. She ran toward him, continuing to fire, and both she and Major Hasan went down with several bullet wounds, Mr. Medley said."

Read the whole article. This woman is incredible.

Hurna hurna. Fell out of reading Girl Genius sometime around July 2007 and now I have no idea where I left off.

So I was thinking about Disney's Beauty and the Beast and how Belle says that she wants "adventure in the great wide somewhere" but then spends the majority of the film locked up in a castle.

But then if you think of it as a dungeon, then it's like she's Link, only she fell in love with the boss monster.

HAHAHAHAHAHA DISSIDIA FANDOM GOT TROLLED GOOD

BY A FRENCH GUY.

My god! Blurry cam pics of what must surely be a Japanese gaming magazine turn up in the comm!

The Reveal!

Note that I was thoroughly had. However the fact that this was done by a guy who renders bushy 'staches onto Cloud and Squall is 1010% okay with me.

Good show, I say. Good show.

Dear Internet,

If you are going to use the word "literally" to describe an action, do make sure that it is something that the reader would most likely otherwise pass off as hyperbole. "Literally" implies as it is written.

Example!

"Accident at the glue factory today. Clean-up was so frustrating that I literally tore my hair out (that really hurts, btw)!"

Wow, somebody actually did something that is usually considered a metaphor! And to take a recent example from journalfen, this is one of the many phrases where you do not need to use "literally:" "[her] reaction was to literally cross her legs and scream..."

Wow, she crossed her legs? Good thing you cleared that up for me, partner. That just wouldn't have been clear otherwise.

Large Hadron Collider Sabotaging Itself from the Future


You know, if I was a CERN physicist, I would have a hard time not abusing my authority by releasing statements like this, too. Although from now on, they're going to be known as "the time-travel guys" and never be taken seriously again.

It's times like these, when it's 66 degrees out and I'm in three layers, eating a hot bowl of soup and still too cold that I seriously doubt my mammalian heritage.


Also, watched the Penumbra LP.

D:

That picspam meme that riley_boi did, only this is 99.99999% Final Fantasy IX.
