4D Space

I figured I should make one of these things in case anyone stumbles on my LJ and goes "WHAT I'M LOST" after seeing my long lost of (mostly derp and anime/game title) tags.

If you're just looking for my fic, the fic post tag is what you're looking for (the 'fanfiction' tag also contains me talking about fic, reccing, ranting, etc.).

It's mostly going to be Megaten-related fic, but I write off and on for whatever I'm in at the moment. If you're looking for my Kingdom Hearts fic, a couple more Berserk fics, most of my other fic, and all the shit I wrote from the time I was twelve until now (in other words, varying degrees of eye-gouging to crap to mediocre), you want my Fanfiction.net account. (If I wrote it in the last year or so I will vouch for it; otherwise, I make no guarantees.)

I'm also pretty active on various kink memes, so anon!me looks forward to seeing requests from anon!you on that front. :P

Anyway, with that out of the way, I guess I should mention that I don't lock anything, fic or otherwise, so you don't have to friend me to see the porn. Enjoy (or not)!

I know I'm late to the party, but... well.

It looks like a fanboy wet dream, and considering it's gonna be a PS3/360 release, it's bound to be 3D. Maybe this'll be the game that will finally get all the whining fans to like the 3D games instead of bawwwing and demanding Symphony of the Night all over again?

It's amazing how much the series can milk the same crap over and over again, really. But no, as bad as Judgment was, at least they were trying to branch out. For once.

I, for one, am looking forward to this little ditty, if only for the opportunity to see Patrick Stewart slumming. No! You can't profane the awesome badness that is Castlevania with a voice actor that's actually good!! Though actually, Liam O'Brian was pretty great in CoD...

And Hideo Kojima is apparently going to be working on it too? Wtffff. I have a feeling this game is going to turn out weird - in fact, I hope it does. The series needs a good kick in the pants. :/

But really, I bitch because I love it. Vampires, melodrama, whips and prettyboys? How is this not a winning formula?!

So, I finished Mass Effect. It was actually shorter than I expected it to be, about 40 hours. I guess that's normal for an RPG.

I did indeed get the fabled blue alien lesbian sex scene. It wasn't nearly as graphic/long as I've been led to believe. I wasn't disappointed, though - it's a feeling of payoff. XD I spend the entire game trying to seduce her, without a FAQ, and with success!

( Spoilers )

You know, when it comes to games with a moral compass, I usually go evil. When I was playing Fable 2 I married at least three times and sacrificed them all to the Temple of Shadows and then bawwwed about how I couldn't sacrifice my children, too (stupid game). I slaughtered that village with the monastery. I laughed at the havoc I created.

But for some reason this game pushed my morality buttons. I racked up a few Renegade points at first, especially early in the game, but by the end I'd completely maxed out Paragon - even though I'd originally intended to go Renegade, as per my usual. Even for that annoying flipping mission where crazy civilians were running around in the firefight I replayed about fifteen times until I didn't kill any civilians.

Idk why. Maybe it's because I like the characters in this game, and if you wanna go Renegade you pretty much have to treat everyone like shit. The protagonist not being an island really provokes nicer responses, I think.

So since the new movie came out a few weeks ago and people are talking about it, I figured I should get up to speed and watch the old one.

Why do people even like this movie?

( It was horrible )

Is the second one any better?

I just can't stop laughing at this picture.



The lulz, make them stop.

For the past couple months I've been unable to really get into anything, games, anime, or otherwise - I've been spending one hour on one thing, one hour on another thing, and then wasting the rest of my hours on my default I-don't-know-what-to-do activities: TV Tropes and Guitar Hero.

So anyway, I picked up Mass Effect again, kinda randomly. I actually bought the game over a year ago when I first bought my 360, but couldn't get into it because I had a really small, crappy TV at the time and had serious trouble reading the menu text and displays and the like, and playing was more trouble than it was worth. Then I kinda forgot about it.

I'm actually really liking it. The >9000 sidequests appeal to the completionist in me and the characters are really endearing. The gameplay itself does a nice job of breaking up action and dialogue trees and vice-versa, and the plot isn't moronic. 15-odd hours in and I'm having to stave myself off it so I can do homework.

But that's not what I'm here to talk about.

( Aliens in Mass Effect )

My favourite sexual euphemism/metaphor is still to 'biblically know' her. It always makes me giggle. Every. Time.

Oh yes, I am incredibly mature.

Favourite sexual euphemisms/metaphors, anyone? I saw "I was beginning to lose myself in her, and she was like the hollandaise sauce on top of eggs benedict" the other day on its_like_what and I laughed for like five minutes.

Bawww I want more Xenosaga. If they can't make another game, I'll be satisfied (marginally) with a spinoff manga or something. Come on you guys. I NEED THIS.

So anyway.

( LET'S TALK NIETZSCHE. )

...there has to be more rants on the internet about this, seriously, Where Is The Meta.

So apparently the entirety of the Pokemon anime is in fact Ash's subconscious constructing an imaginary world for him wherein he can solve his personal issues while he himself is in a hospital bed in a coma.

...just read it, if you haven't seen it already. XD It's very... Evangelion. It will screw with your mind and destroy your childhood in an awesome way.

...from volume one. I blame iceblitz for re-reading and not shutting up about it (You can sum up everything she says as "Serpico. Serpicooooo. SERPICO." XD) It's probably gonna take me >9000 years to do the entire thing, but whatever. It's been a long time since I first read the entire thing up to date.

( Blah diddy blah things you notice the... is it the third time, I don't remember, spoilers abound )

I keep waiting for the day when I fall out of love with Berserk, but I've come to see it as like... going back to visit an old friend. A really violent and wangsty old friend, but a good old friend.

...I will not start anthropomorphizing manga, I will not start anthropomorphizing manga...

I got through Operation Ground and Pound!!!!111 (on Expert, obviously)

I have been trying to get that song for so long you don't even know. It's the easiest of the Dragonforce songs IMO, but STILL.

Brb trying to nail Heroes of Our Time. (One day, one day, I will be able to pull off Through the Fire and Flames... one day I will be a true Guitar Hero!)

Maybe it's weird to still be obsessing over this game like... two years (?) after it came out, but who the fuck cares, I love GH3.

And yet after all this time I still can't complete Expert career. The guitar battle against Lou is physically impossible, I SWEAR.

Must practice moar.

I dreamed I was Axel dressed up like Tuxedo Mask and I was firing roses at an enemy pirate ship. They were lobbing puppies at us, but they could not match the power of my fabulous roses.

I spent the latter half of the dream trying to seduce Sephiroth and almost got him to cheat on Cloud (they were pirates on my ship), but he stopped mid-nookie when he realized I was a girl!Axel.

I don't understand my subconscious at all. >_>;;

Goodbye Chains is teasing again. Twenty internet bucks on the context of that being totally innocent. Also Colin has eyes woah.

Though. I mean. I tend to think that the comic is aiming for Banquo/Colin canonicity eventually - just way, way down the road, and possibly after large amounts of plot. Suspense sells, after all.

I only really follow three webcomics regularly - Goodbye Chains, xkcd, and Menage a 3. Sometimes I'll archive binge on something else but really, nothing else gets me to OBSESSIVELY CHECK multiple times a week anymore.

Anybody have any favourite webcomics? I'm dying for something new. I've read my share of "two gamer guys on a couch" and "everybody's gay let's have drama" webcomics. There has to be more out there. :/

Well, my ears are ringing, my neck is sore, there's a lingering smell of weed on my clothing and I am feeling the desperate need to wash my hair.

I am satisfied.

Related: a dude at the show noticed my Sonata Arctica shirt and mentioned that they're touring with Dragonforce. They're coming nowhere near Vancouver, no surprise there, but what I did learn is that Sonata Arctica (sans Dragonforce) is coming to Vancouver late September. By which point I will be in Japan.

D:

D:


D:

I - I almost want to cry, seriously. But they'll be back, right? Right?! I mean, iirc they usually come to Vancouver every two years. It'll happen again!!

;~; Maybe Sonata'll do another tour to Japan in 2010. HAY IT COULD HAPPEN. Maybe. But Sonataaaaa waaaahhhh

It's that music meme thing. Anyway, I got P from exhuming. Have I mentioned nothing starts with P?

Perfect Criminal - Die Toten Hosen (I've been listening to a lot of these guys in an attempt to get German through osmosis so I can not blow my class. Too bad this song is in English. >_>)

Party like it's 1999 - Prince (this song is 9000 times more hilarious if you think of it as the theme song for X/1999. My only question is: Where is the AMV?)

Picaresque - Utena OST 3 (this one is a tune that was cut from the anime, probably because it sounds like porno music. Even moreso than the Akio Car theme song.)

Pretty When You Cry - VAST (this is my Farnese/Serpico song, Farnese POV. I was gonna make an FST but then I got lazy.)

Pool Party - The Aquabats (If you don't love this song you have no sense of humor. Period. XD)

I think I got the same meme twice from two different people, so I'll probably end up doing this again. You can never have too much muzak, rite?

I think I'm gonna go to the Canadian Carnage show on Wednesday. I was hesitant before because I thought it was on a Thursday for some reason and would conflict with my evening class, and I was also worried tickets would be ridiculously expensive (...the very reason I didn't go to the Metallica show, zomg you could buy a PS3 for the price of those tickets O.O), but after taking a boo at craigslist (Ticketmaster is being a bitch grr) there seems to be more than a few tickets under $100. Probably not the best seats in the house, BUT HEY. SLAYER AND MEGADETH. I haven't been to a show since like... Apocalyptica last fall and I'm jonesing.

I just love metal shows, and to a lesser degree, punk shows. Moshing, headbanging, hardcore fans going "RAAAAGH", you don't get that kind of energy with other kinds of music. Sometimes I wonder if me loving this shit is a byproduct of being brought up going to classical music concerts where you had to sit down and be quiet for two and a half hours.

Sometimes I think I should've been a teenager in the eighties or at least the early nineties, back when all these guys weren't old fogies and things like hardcore punk were shocking, grunge was amazing and new, and the biggest metal bands were the most scandalous stuff of the time and everybody was freaking out. I would brave the disaster world that is 80's fashion to be around when that stuff was at its peak. I mean, I go to shows now and see guys old enough to be my dad who were fans back in the early days. I feel so young!

What's the music of the 2000's? I guess it'll be easier to figure that out after the fact. Though it's not like metal's dead or anything, hell no. Just. In a new generation, I suppose.
