Transformers: War for Cybertron Review

Written by David Nolen | 29 July 2010

To interrupt your current bout of procrastination I bring this review to you after suffering the verbal lashings of my partner in crime who knows how much I was looking forward to and enjoyed this game. So after putting down Dragon Quest 9, I give to you a review of the game I'm really talking about: Transformers: War for Cybertron.

To be blunt, this is damn near everything a fan of the series could ask for. Never ask a fan of Transformers everything they'd want, because they invariably want more. Since it's a broken fanbase, there'll never be any real consensus on that. The best you can do is give the greatest number the most often requested items on a list, and in this, the game does not disappoint. But why am I rambling here, when you can just click that link and check out the review. I now return you to your regularly scheduled bout of putting off to next week what you can do right this second.

Anime Expo 2010 Pics Are Up

Written by David Nolen | 19 July 2010

Someone had the bright idea to release a kick ass Transformers game (which I need to get a review done for) and a Dragon Quest game recently. I must find these people and both thank them profusely and beat them to death, because I have work to do, damnit!

On the subject of work, I've finally processed the nearly 400 pics I took for Anime Expo 2010. Head on over toTenchifanart for the pics. And now I have to go and see about so much much more...oh Lord what did I do to deserve this? Oh, right, I volunteered.

Anime Central 2010 Fashion Show Torrent

Written by David Nolen | 05 July 2010

So, back from Anime Expo and finally got some information on one of the most screwed up technical problems I've ever seen in video editing software of any sort. Simple little problems like...oh...I dunno...ADDING A WATERMARK?! Anyway, after going through several solutions which plain flat out just don't work (not working on linux...gee, that sounds familiar) I find myself back at Avidemux using a plugin designed to work with wine, avisynth. A powerful scripting tool to be sure, but being a scripting tool with a hacked in plugin solution, getting the right verbage down for certain plugins is...harrowing to say the least.

Regardless, I've got it. So, without further ado, here's the Anime Central 2010 Fashion Show torrent as recorded by yours truly, and hosted by Nyaa Torrents. Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to deal with this Maquerade video. I've got an in with another person who filmed most of the Yoshiki thing in the middle. I only hope we all have enough to hack together the whole thing.

Angels Beating on Your Door

Written by JC DuBois | 27 June 2010

High school, oddly enough, is never a place that I ever really considered heaven material. It was fun, sure, but heaven? Well, I suppose there were all the girls walking around in short skirts and low-cut tops… they were certainly angelic at times… Errr, in any case, if you haven't guessed yet, this time around I'm taking a look at Angel Beats, VisualArt's/Key's newest entry into anime. Grab your helmet and flak jacket, cause it's a real warzone down there…

ACEN 2010 Writetup Is Now Up

Written by David Nolen | 22 June 2010

Wow, I'm getting faster. Maybe I can get the Fanime report out sometime soon too? In any event, here's the Anime Central 2010 Writeup that I've been planning to get done for awhile now.

As it was in the past two years, I've got nothing but good things to say about the convention. If you're ever looking for a good time, this is the place to go (though maybe they should think about adding a day), I guarantee, so I hope I did the experience justice. But don't just take my word for it, click on that link up there and check out my full thoughts on it which includes some news items for those looking for the videos from this year's convention.

Durararararararararara!!!

Written by JC DuBois | 29 June 2010

Yeah, ok, so I couldn't think up anything more clever to use for a front page post announcing a Durarara!! review, they can't all be winners. C'mon down to Ikebukuro and meet some of the locals, they'll be glad to have you… if they don't throw a vending machine at you or shave you with a pocket knife or slice you up with a shadow scythe or…

Fanime 2010 Report Up

Written by David Nolen | 25 June 2010

Could it be? Am I sick? Have I ceased procrastination? Hell if I know, but in any event, the Fanime 2010 Report is up for viewing.

As in all the previous years, this one was a great convention, though I may have over-scheduled myself a bit. Probably wasn't the best of ideas with the lingering traces of the stuff I was suffering from at ACEN still in my system. Thankfully they'd opened up a Safeway supermarket right near the convention which was a great place for food, drugs, and other essentials which reduced so many of the problems we usually have to far more manageable levels...and then we fill up our time at the convention with other things to do, heh. But why am I telling you here? Click up on that link and check out all the fun stuff I saw and took part in.

Summer 2010 Watch List

Written by JC DuBois | 19 June 2010

The Spring 2010 anime season is winding down, and with it all of the series that I've been watching lately. Angel Beats and Ichiban Ushiro Daimaou, and holdovers from Winter 2010 Durarara!! and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood have all been some solid material this season, but all good things do come to an end. Fortunately, it's looking like the Summer 2010 season is going to be just packed with new series to follow – and I do mean packed, as my personal watch list has ten series on it. Naturally, that number will probably drop off a bit after a couple weeks, but as of right now Summer 2010 has more obvious potential than the last three seasons of anime put together.
