Kaze ni Naru (Become the Wind) [English Fandub]Finished it! I did my best with the artwork, I just wanted it to look like Nef, but with the cat from the anime :3 The character that I sketched in here is a combination of my own Nef as well as the one I created in PSO 2 (which, obviously, looks like the one that I drew, but since she's also my Youtube avatar, figured I may as well throw her in instead of the main girl from The Cat Returns). I also don't know if anyone would be interested in having a download for it, but I have it available anyway, so here you go~

4 days where I'm busier than I am on days where I'm not off...It was super awesome seeing my family this Easter weekend, we had tons of food and it was happy go fun times! I also got a chance to *finally* play the new Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance on my Xbox 360! So far, absolutely loving it, Raiden is awesome. The only thing I wish that they had done (probably because I've never played a Metal Gear game in my life prior to this, excepting Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, which was AWFUL) was made a tutorial explaining a little bit more about Raiden's combat skills. However, my lack of talent with it was most likely entirely my fault, and not the game for not holding my hand enough. I wound up playing about an hour of the game, then did some VR missions, which definitely helped me out in learning some of Raiden's skills, though I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to get close to getting some of those times. Hopefully by the time I beat the game, I'll have improved... maybe? I managed to remember one of my favorite songs of all time, and one that I was always pretty decent at singing, as it fits pretty much perfectly into my range, Kaze ni Naru (Become the Wind) from The Cat Returns. I'm working on a piece of artwork to sit there while the Youtube video is playing, so I'll hopefully have that finished by Monday evening, so I can post the video. My version is obviously a little different, as my voice sounds quite different, but I'm pretty happy with it. I will also be posting my PSO 2 White Day video tomorrow night, as I simply keep forgetting to do anything about it until it's roughly this time of night (3 am, whoops!). I guess that's everything... Oh! I downloaded the demo for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, and it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen. I chose to look like a Pikachu, and just the way the Pokemon reacts to things and how I run make me super happy. It isn't very challenging at this point, but I will most likely pick up the game to go with my new Pikachu 3DS XL. The White Day event is super awesome! So excited for the new content coming out now!I managed to FRAPS the whole White Day event, but I'm too sleepy to actually put it up now, so I shall do so later :3 Definitely worth doing, though! I did manage to get my Blue Rappy fan XD
I'm hoping to get a more complete version of the event though, just for my own benefit, so hopefully I can pick that up tomorrow after work! Sleepy time! I've also finished recording a new song (I think this one's already much better than my last, I learned how to work the program a bit better now!) and I'll be working on footage for it, since I'm so awful at slide shows. PSO 2 Melt [English Fandub] [lyrics by rockleetistHere is my first ever recorded attempt at singing, hooray! I used Audacity to record the vocals for myself, and FRAPS to record the video from Phantasy Star Online 2 (you may notice the blue hearts floating around; the White Day event is currently in full swing, and the lobby is decorated to match the event!). The song was originally sung by Hatsune Miku (I chose to put the live version here instead of the PV), and then rockleetist made an English transliterated version of it as well,; the lyrics I used belong to her. I recorded pretty much all of the video tonight, which is what I decided to spend my evening doing. I tried playing a game or two in League of Legends, but ran into quite a few toxic players who bashed other people on the friendly and enemy team the entire game, so gave that up pretty quickly. Overall, I'm quite proud of this video, as it took me quite awhile to create. I created it mostly for myself, just so I have a way of marking whether or not I actually improve with my singing if I manage to keep it up. Oh! I also picked up a new manga today, Jiu Jiu by Touya Tobina. It is super cute, heartwrenching, and serious all at the same time, quite excellent. Now I have to wait for April 2, 2013, and July 2, 2013 for volumes 4 & 5 to come out, for that will complete the series. All in all, it was quite a good day. Sources:
White Day: http://www.wikihow.com/Celebrate-White-Day Melt by Hatsune Miku: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoTd918zhZc Melt by rockleetist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU1g1Qz2T_Y This is one of the most amazing Vocaloid music videos I have ever seen!
When this video was first recommended to me, I admit, I watched the other feeds given to me on my youtube channel first, mostly because they were shorter. I finally couldn't resist the temptation any longer, and clicked to watch this video, and I was completely stunned by what I saw. Miku's face has never shown so much expression, and the detail in her animation reminds me of Studio Ghibli and the work done by Hayao Miyazaki, who is easily one of my favorite animators/artists of all time. I'm hoping someone with a great proficiency with the Japanese language will release a subtitled version, which I will then post here as well. In the meanwhile, I will do my best to sort through this google translate version of the English lyrics to create something a bit more intelligible. This video, however, even without understanding any of it, is still one of the most amazing music videos I have ever seen.
Sun Goddess Karma...?http://www.leagueoflegendsskins.com/images/skins/in-game/Karma_1.jpg This Karma skin was originally my favorite one of the lot; her classic skin felt too restrictive for her personality, the Sakura Karma too over-the-top, while this one had just the right amount of flair to it. Looking at the new version, however, she seems to be more of an angry deity instead of a strong leader. I think, should Riot be able to change her appearance any, that even giving her something as simple as a flared, short skirt in the same colour family as the current Sun Goddess Karma would add some much needed colour and femininity back into the updated model. What I wish for most, however, is for her face to be less angry looking. She had a serious disposition before, this is true, but the updated Karma looks very angry in both the Sun Goddess and Sakura skins. My new top/mid character, Vladimir!Honestly, I am quite terrible with Vlad at this point in time; I'm not sure if it's just because I don't have the runes for him or what, but I just keep dying over and over again because I don't know how to play him properly.
I shall not give up, however, and I will learn to use him properly. I have made a new account to work on him, and am planning on leveling to 30 with him. He's so much fun, and I love his escape (pool of blood); I have ruined many a lux's day so far. Currently using a build I found on MobaFire to help me figure him out, at least with his items and build; the items seem to work well, though I do sometimes pick them up in a different order depending on how the game is going. The main thing I have to learn with him is when/how to initiate, I think. I'm so used to being either a support or an AP mid that I forget that he simply cannot play the same way. Oh well. Practice practice practice, right? |
