You know you’re on the internet too much when…- Part 2

The goverment starts cracking down on the local internet cafe’s, in this case it is in China. But it’s only the illegal internet cafe’s, also known as “net bars” in China, that are being hunted down. The net bars are seen everywhere across China with China’s economy on the rise, from the corner of a well known street to the upper floors of “supposedly” empty buildings. This is China’s way of dealing with the rise of “internet addiction” that is sweeping the country, mainly among the youth of China. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen an Asian country trying to “tone down” the amount of internet users, South Korea has also tried to stop the gigantic boom of online gamers. Though China’s way may seem more “authoritative” compared to South Korea’s method.

All I want for Christmas is a…phonebook?

Ahhhh Christmas, the time to give your fellow man/woman joy through presents lol. But what would a teenager want to receive for a Christmas present? How about a phone book? The Wii was a very popular gift this season, I even got one myself to give to my dad for his birthday that’s near Christmas, and is quite the gift to give to anyone this season. Some of the Wii’s auctioned even went past 400 USD just for the system itself. Want to know more about these funny and somewhat crazy seasonal gifts, read on to find out.

Merry Christmas to all

Patty’s so kawaii with her reindeer horns and red nose ^^

I hope everyone will have a Merry Christmas, even if it is just a day to give thanks to someone. Give thanks or at least a “Merry Christmas” to those who helped you, family, friends, or maybe that neighbor you never talk to but says “hi” to you every morning before you leave. In Japan, Christmas is basically a way to say thanks to those who helped you during the year, especially your senpais. So everyone still goes to work, which is good I think as they spend a ton of money on Christmas gifts. I too spent much this Christmas. For I was able to buy one of the most wanted and least available Christmas gifts around, I believe some of you know what I am talking about. I will tell you the story of this “rare” acquisition that might give you a bit of a laugh when you read it lol ^^.

Word of the year for 2007 is….

“WOOT” ^^, what an amazing word that is lol. This is not officially the word of the year but it is for Merriam-Webster online as it was the most frequently looked up word in their database. For those of you who play games with friends, played online, or have gaming friends then you probably know what this word means, I do from all the online gaming and the game battles with my friends while we munched on pizza lol. Basically its a form of expressing joy which could come from something that just happened, like beating your friend in a game or grabbing the last slice of pizza before anyone else. But saying WOOT itself is pretty fun, take a deep breath now and yell out “WOOOOOOOOT,” it feels so good lol; best do it when you are at home and not in a crowded library lol. The origin of WOOT is not clear, but it could be an acronym for We Owned the Other Team which is in reference to beating another team quite severely.

Bleach: The Blade of Fate

If you’re a fan of something whether it be anime, sports, figures, nature, drawing, etc., you tend to buy something relevant with that fandom. For me, one of those is of course, anime, but there are so many that it’s hard to stay true to one. One of animes that I am a fan of is Bleach. So with the almighty green paper (USD), I set out to buy the Bleach game Bleach: The Blade of Fate for the DS. I went to the local Gamestop after work to purchase this and it wasn’t even on the shelves yet lol, I had to ask a Gamestop employee to retrieve one for me ^^. This is what I have to say about the game….

Kagami’s Life Of Crime

akibakko-119107476944842.jpg

Well that was a bit disturbing to watch lol. Beloved Kagami killing Pikachu’s and Doraemon’s with uzi’s and rifles o_O. Hearing Kagami and Tsukasa laugh gleefully as they killed Pikachu’s in the beginning of the first video as well which was eerie. It was nice seeing the other Lucky Star characters and other anime characters killing people too lol, see if you can name all of them. This is what happens to child stars I guess lol, once the nice income from their show ends they go to a life of crime, how sad T-T. But at the same time I thought it was awesome lol, think I’ll borrow my friends PC version of GTA: San Andreas and look for these mods ^^. Seeing sweet Kagami using her tsundere attitude to kill Pikachu’s was interesting though. Never thought I would say those words in one sentence ^^, might be the first lol.
