100th Blog Post!

Enjoy some screenshots of Game Dev Tycoon, appropriateness may vary.

I know this isn't very festive for a Nth post but I need to do something with this stuff.

Things that Happened.

So somebody made a video with Captain Commodore's Texty Adventure. Here's the video (My game starts at 20:40 so you'll have to skip about for a bit.

Other than that, the Aerohou RPG has been coming a lot smoothly. I also had an MRI recently. What the inside of a MRI machine sounds like being in a car, with a NES banging on the roof while beeping obscenities. With a C64 having a seizure...while on dial up, that's my absurd take on the matter.

Sorry for the lack of substance recently, I'm hitting a ditch with content provision. Expect more posts soon.

What would a neurologist say when he fooled someone?

Neuro PSYCH!

Some Bad News

So because I was sick during Memorial Day, I never got around to making this week's Touhou Tuesday or RevieWednesday. I now that must suck for those who read my blog...or at least glance over it.

Sorry for not being able to make those two posts.

Some pictures of me having a chicken strip shaped like England.

I ate it and it was a long time ago, so no Ebay auction for you! AH!

Plans for new broadcasting material!

So you know my weekly gig, Touhou Tuesday and RevieWednesday right? You want more weekly (or bi-weekly) blogs! Well here you go! The Adventures of the S.S. Nuh and Miko's Army! Unlike the first two blograms (programs + blog) these two will be more of an ongoing fictional story fare.

Here's more info:

The Adventures of the S.S. Nuh

Hop aboard a ship unlike any other. a ship not of luxury. But rather of ship of disgust absurdity. A ship of utter crap, a ship populated by flamingos. Hell! The ship is shaped like a giant flamingo. Despite the construction of cardboard, balsa wood, flamingo skin and feathers, and rusted out scrap yard metal. It is a ship so indestructible, that only only person on Earth can destroy it. But that's the antagonist so that I'll won't talk about that. Theses are the various escapades of the S.S. Nuh!

Miko's Army

Mima is at it again, but she's been building a attack force and conquering Gensokyo! Its up to the Home Guard to at least stall her for a bit until something bloody happens! This is the Touhou Project parody of the cult classic British TV sitcom, Dad's Army! Reimu Hakurei becomes captain of her own Home Guard unit. Only to be in charge of something flawed sort of. Having to deal with tasks that they somehow finished, yeah there's not much to this other than Dad's Army being rendered through ZUN. Yeah.

More Super Mega Drive Pictures!

Miko's Army

The following is a parody to promote the Aerohou RPG game. The parody in question is the song "Who do your kidding Mr. Hitler", you might know it as the intro song to the sitcom "Dad's Army". But only with minor adjustments

Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Cohen If You Think We're On The Run? We Are The Girls Who Will Stop Your Little Game We Are The Girls Who Will Make You Think Again 'Cause Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Cohen If You Think Old Gensokyo's Done? Ran Goes Off To Town On The Eight Twenty-One But She Comes Home Each Evening And She's Ready With Her card (So Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Cohen If You Think Old Gensokyo's Done?) So Watch Out Mr Cohen You Have Met Your Match In Us If You Think You Can Crush Us We're Afraid You've Missed The Bus 'Cause Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Cohen If You Think Old Gensokyo's Done?

RevieWednesday: The Movies

The Movies is a tycoon/simulation game of running a movie studio, starting from the 1920's onward. Researching tech, shooting movies, hiring staff (janitors, builders, film crew, scientists, etc.) and stars (actors, directors, and extras), constructing buildings, and earning rewards. I remember playing the game when I was really young, playing the demo nonstop. I still even have the box with the discs.

POSITIVES

The game plays great and reflects greatly upon the history of movie making. For the time, the graphics look nice. The game has a great and varied soundtrack. There are thousands of people to hire, plus an actor/actress/director creation tool to boot. Complete with various newscasters for the various periods of American history during the 20th/21st centuries.

NEGATIVES

The actors/directors were made to be sims, requiring your attention and care. That is fine, except that you have the responsibility of the economic upkeep of a movie studio. So its either focus on the actors or focus on the studio, it sucks. Plus the studio lot size becomes problematic later in the game, because sets and buildings require space, by the 1970's, your lot is at capacity. Luckily there's a mod that can fix that, somewhat.

VERDICT: 3.9 out of 5 Stars

"The game is pretty good, didn't age too awesome and is attention heavy. This needs a sequel, badly."

Touhou Tuesday: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, ruled by the King Jack Nicholson

Tell me if from a distance, that looks like a drumstick. Doesn't help that she's named Ringo.  Funny enough, despite Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom being her first appearance. This wasn't her first appearance (as in being in any form of media). This was, in actuality. 

What they did was that they made her voice more masculine and tried to modify her accent only to give off of a Ringo Starr impersonation, to point that they credited her as Ringo Starr. But this is the first time she is going to appear in something that won't be modified to sound like an 80 year old British drummer.

All kidding aside that moon rabbit chick is actually called, Ringo. No shit!

Proving Minecraft IS useful in the Educational Sector

In my school, we're learning about electronics and I naturally brought the subject of logic gates (NOR, AND, NOT, OR, and the such). So me and my teacher were talking about what they were and how they worked. I then brought up how Minecraft's Redstone is pretty much electricity and that you could build these logic gates. Twas my suggestion that Minecraft could and probably should be used educationally.


But knowing my school, they'll turn her turn down [by extension: me] because Minecraft is a game and it has uneducational properties because its a game. So once again, my school turns around and sticks its big fat head into its home, a deep dark cavern, to sit in the corner in the fetal position likes its ever done for a couple years now. Instead of enjoying the sunshine of innovation! Instead of taking the things that don't seem useful for education, useful for education! But knowing my school, they are stuck up in the anus of the past.


Luckily that decision hasn't been made as of yet. So my school still has the chance to come out of the deep dark dank cave and obtain the vitamin D and C of innovative schooling. Probably tan in it.


Thank god for me.

Announcing new game!

So if you hadn't noticed the tank with the Apple logo on it, (which is officially called the iPanzer) has an image resolution of 544x416, the same resolution as RPG Maker VX [Ace]. So I have a new game in the works and its called...

Aerohou RPG

"A working title"

So this game takes place a few years after the [tentative] fourth Aerohou story and after the "death" of Dr. Cohen and Gensokyo is saved from a raging former school director using his own religion, against Reimu and Frank because he feels they should be punish for ruining his "life", and AeroSoft is safe from destruction. But after the meeting a reincarnation of a former gappy, whom destroying a Boston skyscraper caused alarm for the Super Topham Bros. (Frank and Trevor) and tells Yukari and Reimu about him and his cause, the Cohenist Order. Is Gensokyo in danger? Is Dr. Cohen not really dead? Who is this gappy? You'll find out...

RevieWednesday: Robocraft

Robocraft is an MMO about building vehicles (such as tanks, planes, helicopters, cars, etc.) out of sci-fi themed parts (shooting laser firing SMGs and Railguns for instance) and fighting them against others on a team. So far there are two default games. Classic and MOBA, the first one is pretty much a one way Capture the Flag, in the sense of standing on the opposing side's base until these four bars fill up which determines how much of the base is captured. The other is trying to blow up each other's bases, you also have to shoot up these four towers, since they will provide power to your base's shield which heals players and prevents long range attacks from the opposing team. The latter also haves respawning, so that's nice

POSITIVES

The games looks nice and plays great. Its addictive and uses your creativity to build stuff in an effort to kill others. Its addictive as all hell. The game is for free and the developers were nice enough to make it so your only fighting people of similar level to you. There are tons of parts to build with.

NEGATIVE

Because this is a MMO you have to deal with people who are overpowered (not talking about the boss mode), so if your early into your level (since levels are determined by how advanced your vehicle is, as opposed to earning Experience Points) expect to have your ass handed to you a couple times. Also, the wait times for some battles are tad long sometimes.

VERDICT: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

"The only MMO I can enjoy without the need to be on it all the time like all the others."

Touhou Tuesday: Seconds from Danmaku

So I was watching some old episodes of Seconds from Disaster and I was thinking on how to apply that to Touhou Project. So if you want, put down in this post's comment section, a disaster that you might think can happen in Gensokyo (perhaps going along with the show's thing with destruction). Whoever has the best Touhou disaster, gets to have their idea be expanded into a larger narritive in next week's Touhou Tuesday.

Also this:

It might not be Touhou related per se, but it is. More information will be available soon.

That is all. Nyaa~

Things I'm missing out on...

I wonder if there's any okatu's in my town. If not, hope more can come. Either that or if out of some strange event, a doujin vender came to the farmers market, that'll be cool.

New walfas is up!

So I made a walfas of the video "Michael Rosen's Fridge", mostly because I wanted to try out converting Youtube Poops into a walfas short. So yeah, this is the result.

On a lighter note.

Here are some pictures I have of my collection:

Sorry for the quality of the pictures.

Autism Speaks: Where a charity became a fear mongering bunch of wankers!

So I watch TheMysteriousMrEnter, he's a reviewer who both sees the good and bad of TV animation...mostly the bad of it. He's also the one who through his videos, sort of taught me how to look at animation from a critical perspective. Recently, he made a video debunking one of the Autism Speaks ads. He look at it was negative to say the least. Despite knowing about the organization before the video, I was blinded to what they did and what their take on autism is. Which apparently (underlined for sarcasm sake) is a disease that must be stopped and that it'll ruin the kids life and your life just as much which is a lot. Jesus Christ! Its like as if Hitler tried being nice for once...and then became one of those really extremist feminists, knowing that he'll probably use her (now he just made the switch) resources to push propaganda. But I'm getting SUPER off topic here, I'll just show you the video that he made:

Yeah, that commercial he talked about, was offensive to me and to him as well. At the beginning he said that he two was on the spectrum (I'm also on the autistic spectrum as well), so one of my own warmed me and to an extent, us, That Autism Speaks isn't what it seems. I personally suggest taking their organization with a grain of salt. Actively complain to them as you like, I don't advise going out of your way to do it, especially if they think its malicious and send out the Blue Puzzle Police after you.

Hopefully this enlightened you about something that's working against its cause.

Cool thing I found during the week.

So during the week, I was out on a nature walk with some people at my school, since its right across from a state park. I was with one of the most hyper people on Earth and just makes weird noises when he is, but that's not the point.

The point is that we found a Geocache box. So what Geocaching is pretty much is, is just a thing you can do with a GPS and go around looking for hidden boxes that you can write your name in (usually with the notepad already encased within the box) and sometimes take and leave things, sorta like one of those vanishing cabinets from Harry Potter, only in the fricking woods of all places (to put a vanishing cabinet).

We left our names and buggered off into woods, hyper sounds notwithstanding.

I finished the 10th Grade MCAS

Describing the 10th grade MCAS is like getting a back alley violation by the Board of Education, my butt still hurts. But the good news is I'll never have to deal with it ever again, as soon as I receive the results. But worst case scenario is that I won't be able to obtain a paper stating that I'm smart as per orders of the bureaucratic state. Good thing I have the skills to disprove the lack of intelligence declaration papers saying that I'm dumb. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

RevieWednesday: West Side Story (1961 Movie)

Side West Story is a musical about two street gangs warring over territory, but one member of Jets falls in love with the sister of the leader of the Sharks, singing ensues and Tony and Maria (the people I just mentioned) try to stop the fight to no avail. Their love affair was sooned stopped by Tino, her arranged husband, who goes out to kill Tony. After the Jets hassle Maria's mother, she tell them that she's dead. Tony hears the news and yells for Tino to find him. Maria finds Tony, only for Tony to die and Maria guilts both sides, the movie ends with the two gangs carrying Tony's dead body.

POSITIVES

This movie has great choreography, memorable songs, and classical plot. By classic plot I mean the story is based of Romeo and Juliet, so this movie is a modernization of a previous work...unlike the other times Hollywood modernized a movie and it didn't work, but West Side Story is a rare example of how you should modernize a previous work. Its also a really good example of how a movie adaption should work, since its a adaption of a musical play written in the late 50's. So this movies does right what the Dr. Seuss movies do wrong.

NEGATIVES

You can hate for me for this but, I don't like "I Feel Pretty", I'm just not a fan of it. The movie can be slightly predictable if you know about Romeo and Juliet, luckily the movie's different enough to have an identity of its own, so don't bank on "Same shit, different X" entirely. Despite the movie being a good example for modernization, its only modern to the 1950's. Good thing the movie's timeless enough to not get bogged down

VERDICT: 4.8 out of 5 stars

"This is one of the best musical movies to ever exist, only rivaled by Grease and Hairspray."

  

Touhou Tuesday: Shopping in the Gap

The following Touhou Tuesday has been gapped out of existence, no thanks to Yukari Yakumo. Sorry for the inconvenience.



I'm also sorry for the lack of content for today's Touhou Tuesday, mostly because family got in the way of my thinking space. If not for the fact that Fujiwara no Mokou torched it already...twice.

Some pictures of games that I have beaten...

I understand that the first two were pretty much the same picture, just with different lighting (flash and no flash), I also have video of me beating Contra on the NES. Other games I beat include: Mega Man 2 (Both on Virtual Console [Wii and Wii U] and on original hardware), Cave Story, Platypus, Game Dev Tycoon, and GamersGoMakers.

Narcissistic Math (Alt. Title: How I'm much better at math than you are!)

Ego + Self Esteem = Narcissism

Some stuff that happened to me at school.

It was game night and I brought "Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie" for the PS2, this happened to me when I took out not only the disc, but the memory card and controller!

The game simply crashed.
