This past week has been a bad time to be a celebrity. Michael, Farrah, and Senor Billy all kicked the can (actually, Billy cleaned, then kicked the can). This is a youtube-tribute to the man who removed all doubt from our purchases. This one goes out to you Billy, I’ll never buy with confidence again.
Summer Wars (サマーウォーズ) is the new Mamoru Hosada flick coming out in japan this August. Hosada made The Girl Who Leapt Through Time which is a masterpiece imo. From what I gather, this movie is about Koiso Kenji (a mathematics genius) who is home for the summer with his ridiculously large family. He cracks some code and shit gets real. This is mostly speculation (if you find a real synopsis, comment it please). The trailer makes me think he also has a prearranged marriage. The Trailer is pretty self explanatory.
Needless to say, the movie is going to be worth watching. Hosada always adds weird mixes into his movies and I’m sure it’ll be a ride.

Tons of new Single Player missions:
From: arstechnica
“We have missions where the lowest level of the terrain gets flooded by lava every five minutes—if you don’t get off low ground, you die. We’ve got missions where hordes of infested Terrans attack, but only at night,” Browder told Destructoid. “You have to hold off at night, and then during the day, it’s ‘EVERYONE GO OUT AND KILL ‘EM WHILE THEY SLEEP!’ We’ve got missions where you’re trying to defend an infested colony. We’ve got missions where you control a single Ghost, trying to change the tide of a war.”
Tons of videos have been released the past few days with SCII footage. The game has been playable since early 2005 and by-golly Blizzard thinks it’s almost ready for beta play. (Rumors are out that a few beta invites have already gone out to friends and family at Blizzard). Tech trees are also out and can be found here:

Boku no Natsuyasumi 4 (My Summer Vacation 4) is coming out for the PSP in July. The Trailer above is a short blip where the main character asks everyone in his family why girls have boobs. The game is said to include all the fun happenings of a Japanese summer. You know, fishing and collecting bugs and stuff. OPPAI!
Disclaimer: These are all PTR changes, so some might not make the game. The mount stuff is already confirmed, though. Also, I didn’t post the whole list. I just put the important shit.

My account has been inactive for about two months. But Blizzard assures me I’m still the best Paladin in the game. Bet.
One Piece 548 make me cry manly man-tears. I WON’T GIVE ANY SPOILERS, BUT SHIT GETS REAL.
For those following the manga series, check out the new chapter. For those following the anime, this is for you.
Luna Online is a new addition to the gPotato family of games — games such as Flyff and Rappelz. I’ve always enjoyed free games; ’specially free MMOs. But free games are rarely done well, and free MMOs are rarely ‘done’ at all. Luna is still in its infancy as a MMO but the game is already pretty well documented. Some of the conversation blocks don’t look visually pleasing but it still gets the job done.
Moving on to the important stuff. Luna is entertaining, colorful, super-moe, and it gets you girls. Okay, maybe it won’t do the last part — but the rest is pretty true. Luna does, however, have a matchmaking system where you can search for a target age/gender/likes&dislikes (eHarmony watch out). When you create your Luna Online character you get to choose; Male/Female, Human/Elf, Fighter/Rogue/Mage. As you level in your respective class you unlock more class options (to view the options click on the class). The game is free, fun, and involving. Give it a shot: http://luna.gpotato.com/?m=download
So my friends and I thought I’d be a great idea to dive into the world of Vana’diel for some good times this summer. The Final Fantasy XI Collection is only $15 and we’re fans of the series — so we should get at least a little fun out of it.
I’ve got to say, the install is a pain in both my ass cheeks. I’m still sitting through it now. I tried a direct transfer from one PC to another but that didn’t work. I transferred the reg keys and modified my DLLs but it’s still erroring out. So I’m installing it old school. Squid Ink.
Whenever I’m feeling down, it’s usually because there isn’t enough moe in my life. And what’s better than loli-moe? Exactly. Cheers.

Have you ever wanted to see a list of awesome ebay novelty items made by me? Yeah, that’s understandable.
Here is a list of ebay items necessary for life:
With the above swag, you would pretty much be the coolest kid in town. Kids would come up to you in their slightly frayed athletic cap and you’d just say “sup, faggot” (Instant classic). After they saw your neko-cap and you’re sweet ass vocaloid wallet they would poop in their pants a little bit and run away.
