I was over at JapanSugoi when I checked out an article and link to play a train simulation game online. Now this actually came to be from past train games on different consoles, pcs, and even arcade. Arcade lol, nothing like putting in money to drive a train lol. Well anyways…there are “train otaku” that made this into a game genre. I tried out the game, my favorite course being Inokashira Line Simulation 2, and I must say ummm….interesting. It’s not your everyday shoot’em up, beat them down, sweet talk, or sexy game. Just driving a train which apparently I can’t do lol as I missed the destined platform or ran out of time which probably made my customers very angry. But eventually I got the hang of it. This is in driver mode where you can use a mouse or your up and down buttons to control the stick which controls the speed of the train. I really liked pressing the space bar button to make the train blast its horn lol, made me feel manly. So the point is to stop at the end of the platform and get customers to the next platform where more people will board, I know it sounds boring but its a challenge just to get it perfect which took up my precious five minutes to understand lol. So its a challenge and the graphics aren’t half bad either as it depicts the actual route in real time image.

I spin my pen too but like a NORMAL PERSON lol. These guys are crazy and yet I am envious as this will certainly gain me some points with the ladies lol, plus its something to do when I’m bored. I found this vid while I was browsing through Kirainet.
For us “normal people,” that aren’t obviously gifted with pen spinning, you could check out these vid tutorials to see the basic and advanced tricks you can do
I spent about four to five hours on making my new header…mostly erasing the subtitles and minuscule background on the character and filling in what was erased with the original to the best of my abilities. I took the images on the header from episodes I have from my collection and boy was it a pain just to find the right image lol. Then with photoshop I spend the painful task of erasing and filling in the original colors, raw episodes would have eliminated that but I like using photoshop so I decided to do it the harder way rather than downloading the raws^-^. The easy part was deciding where to put the characters and making the background. It was kind of fun making the header so I might change my header each month.
(Speaking in the deep movie intro guy voice) When fandom goes too far, there is bound to be parodies. In a world where Osaka dreams, bad stuff goes down. Evil flying stuffed animals rain down on the Earth with only a wispy girl, stretchy boy, an iron boy, and a stuffed lion that can stop it. (Back to regular voice) This is an Azumanga parody I noticed on JapanSugoi so I thought I would show it. This was pretty hilarious and it has rpg aspects which I love ^-^.
I am currently living my life playing Diablo II again lol. So I don’t really want to post lol. I played the game so much when I was younger but gave it up after I reached a pretty high level and got bored from the repetitiveness of the game. Playing it again is once again exciting due to all my items being gone and having to start from scratch. Any nostalgic games ever get you playing so intently again?
I am of course talking about Samurai Jack. The tale of a samurai from feudal Japan who grew up learning to fight the greatest evil, Aku, by traveling all around the world and becoming better physically and mentally. When Aku broke free of his spell, Jack goes to fight him and nearly beats him when Aku springs on Jack a portal which puts Jack in the future where Aku is God. Now Jack must find a way to beat Aku by going back in the past and defeating him so the Aku future never comes true. Samurai Jack is one of the best animated shows to come out in America in my opinion, way better than those other “anime” wannabes. This show is definitely about action with Jack fighting his way through most of his adventure as bounty hunters seek his head. But there is a ton of comedy as well, seriousness, and more. Jack meets the most interesting people and goes to the most exotic places while he finds a way back to the past. What’s interesting is how Jack only kills robots that spew oil that represents blood so there is no need for censorship. I highly recommend watching this show over and over again. You can find it here on toonami jetstream or on youtube.
