What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[fastbilly1]

Smiled - Extraordinary Tales got released to streaming last month. For those who do not know, this is an experimental animation film about Edgar Allen Poes works. Including an awesome Fall of the House of Usher narrated by Christopher Lee. Bluray comes in February, but for now this exists:


Ticked - Pinch nerve in back means this weekend will mostly be spent laying down.

: Day off. Yay! Got to sleep in and I get to be mellow for the rest of the day.

: My usually stand-offish cat was unusually affectionate today. She came and joined me in my room for a while and then was all *rub rub rub* when I left to do some things in the living room.

Awww, kitty hugs.

Check out video game stuff online. Everyone is complaining about Nintendo censoring scantily clad ladies in video games, but aren't recognizing that visibly adult women aren't being censored when sexualized. The specific character people are complaining about, like in Xenoblade Chronicles X for example, is originally a 13 year old, and is still only 15 in the North American version (That's a rumor, she might not have been aged up at all). Very .... pedo-ish. All the games people are complaining about this in, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Bravely Default, and Fatal Frame Maiden of the Black Water have under age female characters, and that is the only reason the revealing clothes are being changed.

How do I know that's the only reason? Because Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Wii U weren't censored. The Fairy in 3D Zelda games is very .... revealed ... I only know of one instance of adult female censorship in a modern Nintendo game, and someone had to tell me about it, apparently some panty shot was changed in a recent Fire Emblem.

But I guess Nintendo of America is a bunch of monsters for destroying the original creative vision of having a thirteen year old girl character look like this for a fan service perv costume:

Plus, I'm pretty sure NoA wants the words "Nintendo" and "Pedophile" no where near each other when people speak, or type.

I would say the "age" of a videogame character is pretty much irrelevant. The difference between her being 13 or 18 is only a few keystrokes away, and most people wouldn't care about the sexualization at all if she had been described as 18.

Nintendo may not, but others companies are indeed censoring adult characters. R. Mika from Street Fighter V has been censored, some Tekken characters have been censored and I remember reading on NeoGAF a couple horror games have been censored too but I don't remember which ones.

Still, I would prefer to have the work as originally intended, warts and all.

: USPS lost a package on me and of course it had to be an expensive one . Shipped out a copy of Halo 5 Monday and it left the USPS hub in Columbus on Tuesday to catch a flight to California. However there hasn't been any tracking since then so it's currently in limbo and I have a very peeved customer. I'm working at the office Monday so hopefully I can get my post master to look into it. Packaged it in a box and the game itself was wrapped in about 3 layers of bubble wrap so unless they ran it over it should be fine. I figure it's probably just been left in a corner somewhere unless someone with sticky fingers happened to walk off with it .

I am extremely happy. I had a fun day selling my wares at a local comic book convention. My cousin came in mid day and helped keep me company.



I sold off some extra things I had. Comics, manga, dvds toys and some videogames!

Been going through my stuff for the last few weeks and seeing what I can part with.

Although a good portion of my sales stuffs was the same from the last time I did one of these, (you all remember right?)





All and all, I kept selling till the sun went down, and at the end of the day I made $5,000 pesos. Or about $300 US dollars!




Here's a video. i hope it works. I'm in there, you can see me eating a bag of chips!

I so happy with my extra money! Now I wont have to convert any money for the next few months, I hope.

Gonna put up some more pictures on my tumblr, if you're interested in taking a look!

- still wading my way through cars to replace my '03 civic....we even went to a few dealerships(I think just for my mom to prove the point of why we went to the concord dealership even if we didn't get the best guy that last time) to see if we could find something. ( it's been almost 2 weeks since I got the rental so I probably need to find something soon since I think insurance will only cover up to 900 and it costs 30/day for the vehicle...)

- Not working thanksgiving yay!

- have to work black friday, maybe since it's a grocery store it'll be quiet and I can get backstock ran and fixed up? (I'll dream on that one and hope it comes out that way....)

Not if their age ties in to the story. Also isn't changing their age to 18 still a form of censorship?
