blue_barrette: (oh come on)


I-I find myself irrationally upset when people don't use my Violinist of Hameln tag on Tegaki. It's not great or even all that good, but I want to be able to find all the VoH art easily.

I also find myself both liking and hating the new opacity options. On the plus side, the Japanese Tegaki site has suddenly gotten a huge amount of new gorgeous art. The art there was already on average better than the English Tegaki site, so the inclusion of better colors and opacity is great. The pictures are the perfect proportion for my Zune background. So I always hope to find some pretty art that looks good next to red.

On the negative side, I'm pretty terrible at it (it takes a long time and I have no patience and I overcorrect things and ARGH SO FRUSTRATING) but it's not like I'm able to draw much anyway.

( So I finally ran out of stuff to do in Tales of Vesperia )

Huh.

They probably could have made a more horrifying reference to Tales of the Abyss. I have a hard time thinking what it would be, but it's entirely possible.

Okay, so there are more references to Abyss in Vesperia - this is nice, and so is this, and there was a Tokunaga head in the background somewhere. But the only one I'll remember will be the top one. Why couldn't the Abyss references have been less terrifying, maybe more like the Judasey? Gentlemieu scares me.

(Also they haven't changed gambling from Tales of the Abyss, which is... okay, since I'm good at it, but it was a little disappointing. I was gambling for about ten minutes and suddenly got the Jackpot Achievement. 10,000 chips is... too easy.)

No, I haven't beaten the game yet, I'll get to it... eventually. When I exhaust the end-game stuff.
blue_barrette: (happy princess!)
I-I don't think it's possible for me to beat a Tales game in under 15 hours. The "Beat a certain boss before you hit level 15" is also pretty difficult. On the other hand, I'm somewhat obsessive when it comes to Achievement hunting so maybe this time I'll manage it!

I hit the final dungeon in Tales of Vesperia and have been looking at all the stuff I missed in the game. I...actually got a surprisingly large amount of it, largely because I like backtracking to previous cities and obsessively sleep at inns and talk to everyone. (This is also probably why my current game time is over 90 hours OTL) My Grade is only ~3000, so I'll need to farm before I go to the final boss... meh. And I missed a couple of Yuri's outfits... his first new one was his hot springs one, which he will remain in forever because IT IS HILARIOUS. Favorite character ended up being Karol, which is... shocking, because I hated the kid at the beginning. Everyone's pretty awesome, though. No hatred of anyone in the game, really, though there's no extreme love like Abyss or Symphonia. I stand by my initial reaction! Abyss >> Vesperia >> Symphonia.





...also I totally made a Vesperia mood theme. Mood themes are incredible pains, I didn't remember what a pain they are to make because I kept stealing other people's. And I also made a Youtube account? There's only a couple of stupid Vesperia skits in there right now. Don't watch "Not Enough Fat to Burn" or "It Kind of Works On You" if you haven't played the game yet. The others should be safe, though (they're just babbling about food or toys).

( ...this will never get old, will it. )

ilu vesperia and your idiotic accessories

( Vesperia again. )
blue_barrette: (firm handshake)
...well, so far? Vesperia has been awesome. Not as awesome as Abyss, but better than Symphonia. Voiced skits are awesome. Dogs with pipes are awesome. Characters (with a few minor exceptions) have been awesome. Return of the Wonder Chef? Awesome.

I... kind of hope it'll get ported to the PS3 soon, because it's a little hard to find people I know with 360s. Sigh.

Tales of Vesperia

...voiced skits = ♥

This sort of meme comes up occasionally and I usually do it and then never post it.

( Book meme. )

Apparently I'm going to get my wisdom teeth out within the next couple of months. GUH. Just getting a cavity freaks me out. I'm not sure how I'll handle the wisdom teeth thing. I mean, they hurt pretty much constantly, so I need to get them out soon. But... but... UGH. Just the idea of getting them out makes me queasy. I've had teeth pulled before. The thought of them doing that with my back teeth, when they haven't even broken through the skin, is just so incredibly nausea-inducing I don't know what to do!

So, I decided to play some Twilight Princess today.

( Just finished the Arbiter's Grounds! )

[Poll #1178313]

I want to get some new games, but I probably should try to beat some of my older ones first. I'm not even stuck on any of these games. I have no excuse for not trying to beat them! (Other than my completionist nature - drat you, P3! And Suikoden! I want to get everything, but I don't want to consult a guide >__<)

EDIT: Hahahaha, Tegaki has a Hetaria tag.
blue_barrette: (it's always time for dancey dancey)
Everyone needs to go and listen to the "Most Unwanted Song" here. It's... I don't even know what it is. I just... when the donkeys and bagpipes started going at the same time, I just lost it. HAHAHAHA. I badly wish my radio would play stuff like that.

....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Watanabe, please stop giving your characters hats. I can't draw them. Although, now that I think of it, Shchell is the only new character to be given a fun hat. So, in the end, it was my fault for drawing him instead of one of the others. Actually, now that I think about it, the fact that the new characters lack dorky hats makes me somehow... very sad.

While I'm posting art, does anyone know anything about this and whether artists should be worried about it? Apparently there's a piece of legislation going up before Congress that would more or less force everyone to copyright every work of art they have done or else they lose all right to it. I think it's definitely a piece of legislation that shouldn't pass, but I'm curious if it actually has a chance of passing. I really hope not, but I lack any sense of confidence in politicians.

I LOVE ROBOTS.  MARRY ME PLZ <3<3<3

I haven't posted up any art lately - I suppose today's as good a day as any to do that!

...actually, it looks like I haven't drawn much of anything lately. Alas! I haven't been taking many notes in school, and I've been doing boring stuff like studying and researching, rather than drawing. The few things I've been doing have mostly been stuff like THIS, as I've been irritated more than usual lately at my lack of ability to draw anything but faces.

( So instead, I've put up a series of work-in-progress pictures from the robot picture above. Oh, and few other pictures, but not many. Certainly not the size of an average art dump from me. )
blue_barrette: (tamaki yay)
All right, so I finally got Trillian running correctly, so it's possible that I may actually try to chat occasionally. I know, it's shocking and out of character. Oh well! My AIM name is Byasamahimechan and my MSN name is arekuruu4@hotmail.com.

Please leave your AIM/MSN names here. Comments are screened, in case you don't want everyone to know your account names. Or, uh, you could just pester me when I'm on, but you should probably tell me who you are because I'm slow when it comes to connecting names to people.

HAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHA, what the hell. The openings for this series are always so strange funny strange and funny.

So, instead of trying to beat the third Phoenix Wright game (the new one comes out in a few days, doesn't it =__= Drat.) I've been playing Eternal Sonata.

( There's no spoilers here, just generalized ranting. )
blue_barrette: (look into fields of pink)
I think Jonathan Coulton's Gambler's Prayer is my favorite song right now. I mean, I do think that Skullcrusher Mountain and Re Your Brains are MUCH better songs, but Gambler's Prayer is somehow just as amusing right now?

While I'm on the subject, Creepy Doll is good as well, though I think some of you have phobias of creepy dolls so maybe it's a bad idea to download this one?

Mandelbrot Set is a good one too. For, y'know, nerds and such. Code Monkey is a good one for nerds too. Sometimes I listen to it on repeat when I code =___=

It's also a little late, but he has funny holiday songs too. Podsafe Christmas Song is... like the Chipmunk Christmas Song, so it's probably only funny if you've heard that verison. But Chiron Beta Prime is amusing without needing anything more than a passing interest in sci-fi?

Other good songs are My Monkey, Under The Pines, Tom Cruise Crazy, and Furry Old Lobster.

I AM NOT EVIL


Today I actually finished one of those art memes that've been going around deviantArt.

I-I just wanted to draw Marluxia. Sigh.







...my hair is too long. It takes forever to dry and really doesn't look nice enough to keep it the way it is. I need to find a new haircut. One that's shorter, but long enough to pull back in a ponytail. And doesn't have bangs. And doesn't take that long to fix in the morning. Sigh.



EDIT:


........OTL I-I may as well just mark everything read, right? ...because there's no way I'm ever getting through all of that.
