More Super Happeh Phun Tyme!
Just an update to new episodes that have been uploaded to youtube. Please subscribe to it and make a comment as to what other games we should play! Name anything and we will do it.
Episode 5 – The Price is Right has 2 parts to it. The second part is more party based with 3 people instead of single player mode.
Episode 6 – Nickelodeon GUTS was by far the worst game we have done so far. I had to speed up the video through half of it and we couldnt even finish the game itself so unfortuantely it turned out pretty bad. LOL!
Episode 7 – Jeopardy! This was probably the most fun we have had up to this point. It is also one of the longest ones coming to 3 different parts. Our intelligence level is tested and the result is…well find out for yourself!
Super Happeh Phun Tyme!
Back and still alive! Now with some new material!
A couple of weeks ago, I started a series called Super Happeh Phun Tyme which consists of me and my friends playing really horrible games (most of the time) and the occasional classic game. My channel on youtube can be seen HERE.
Please feel welcome to comment on the videos and add any games that you think we should play in the future of this silly series.
PS: There will be a new episode every Tuesday and Friday!
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Hatsune Miku LIVE!
Just as the title implies, its a concert and Hatsune Miku is singing on the stage! I enjoy anime quite a bit and Hatsune Miku is a cool concept as a character, but man this is too much. I’m actually a little creeped out by this whole thing… At the same time it’s entertaining to watch and seeing a bunch of lighted up leeks being thrown back and forth with excitement.
I hope I never become a member of the audience in one of these events. I got other important things to do, like watch these videos and laugh.

Starcraft Tournament
One of my friends from Japanese class invited me to go join a Starcraft II tourney.He happened to make a poster of the tourney and my face is on it, wonderful…
I have already lost my first match, but since it is a double elimination tourney, I have to lose one more time to be out of the game. My next game is tonight so wish me luck!
Back To Reality (Podcast 1)
I was invited to do a podcast with a friend and his friends. I hesitated. I had just woken up, hadn’t eaten, smelled like ass and had a ton of homework to do. I was forced into it and I’m glad I was. It was fun! I hope to be more involved with the conversations next time.

Awesome Reach
One of my favorite flash artists, Egoraptor, just recently made a new Awesome episode. What’s the game that’s being made fun of now? None other than Halo Reach
The humor varies on your take on immaturity, lack of intelligence, or just was plain ‘not funny’. I found this hilarious because it speaks the truth….in an exaggerated way.
Boobies
Now we all know, yes including those people who don’t watch anime, about the oversized, ‘perfectly’ shaped, and over exaggerated movement of boobs in anime. This AMV pretty much describes every bit of what the artists, producers, or whoever is responsible for the notion that boobs look and do what they do in anime. Perhaps it’s just how the Japanese minds work, or just a man’s fantasy come true..
Japanese Train Station
By far the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in awhile. Most likely this stuff happens only in Japan, so much so you could see this and say to yourself “those Japanese people, always doing funny things”. No seriously is this even safe? Anyways, I’m looking forward to crap like this when I’m over there, although if the ride itself is more than 20 minutes it’s not going to be fun.
I’m surprised that the kid was able to deal with all these guys pushing him into the train without any agonizing pain, or even hear people already in the train yelling and cussing. Crap like this would not go as smoothly here or anywhere else in the world.
I love it
Japanese Discipline
A video my friend found and showed me because it involved those crazy Japanese people. I didn’t know what I was expecting that involved ‘precision’. I was thinking somewhere between the lines of shooting guns.
My thoughts were wrong, it’s pretty sweet nonetheless. Unfortunately, part of the video should be skipped when they present each individual by their name which starts around 2:45 and ends at 4:05.
Magic Pad
By far one of the best AMV’s I have ever seen. If that is not enough to convince you the level of how well done this AMV is then hopefully this will. It won the 2008 AMV awards, the title literally meaning “Best AMV of 2008″ basing from votes from ordinary to experienced AMV fans.
Nostromo has listed into my favorite AMV artist. Nostromo has been involved in helping other people with their AMV’s for the past couple of years. He has done other works as well, one other that was on par with this one and I’ll post about that for another day.
Enjoy Magic Pad.
PS: those who are interested in downloading this on HD to have available all the time and to watch over and over again, go HERE and sign up. Then go HERE to visit his page of the works he has created and download them. It is encouraged to rate the AMV’s if you continue to download more later in the future or else bad things will happen… There are probably other places to check out without having to sign up to something, but I do prefer amv.org.
Gunbuster 1 & 2
Story 9/10 – Both Gunbuster’s kinda follow one another. Though each season has a different set of characters and since technically the first season ended, the second one had a new beginning. They say it’s recommended to watch the first Gunbuster that came out in 1988, but I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. Though it would explain the ending of the second season of Gunbuster rather effectively. I have to say that it is inefficient for me to combine 1 and 2 together since I feel the story of the first season made more sense, had more of an overflow and was just ‘better’. As it goes, it’s in the early 21st century, insectoid organisms are invading the galaxy, searching for new stars to house their young. Mankind’s only defense lies with space cadets. The daughter of a celebrated admiral killed in battle, with their skill and the power of the mecha known as GunBuster, they must help fight to protect the galaxy from total annihilation. Sounds dramatic and intense right? Well that’s the overall story of the first season.
Now the second season is about Nono, a clumsy young girl living in the backwater countryside of Mars, dreams of becoming a space pilot. But when Nono witnesses a real space pilot called Topless, and her brutal fight with one of the invading space monsters, she discovers that it may not be so easy. With guts and effort her only recourse is to fight back against hordes of space monsters.
If you are familiar with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, who are the makers of Gunbuster, it has the same plot. The universe is in danger and the people of the milky way galaxy on a planet called Earth save it…..in a very HUGE battle that breaks the laws of physics and reality. Now I feel I’m giving this show a little more credit than it’s worth. 9 is pretty much saying it’s good, but it’s very original and ridiculous. But coming from the late 80′s so it’s creative in its own way.
Characters 9.5/10 – The story isn’t anything new, but the characters were. In the first season, the daughter/main character and her “rival/ally” was commendable. What is nice about the first season of Gunbuster is they explain and thoroughly detail the difficulty, hardship, and work that is involved in dealing with a mech. I truly enjoyed the characters as they felt…real? They were mature, held responsible for the safety of the galaxy, but yet childish since they were still teenagers.
Animation 9/10 – The first most important detail to take here is that the first season was released in 1988, the same time as Akira, which was a movie. They both have a huge resemblance to each other, that’s how superb Gunbuster was. Sure it’s not like today’s, but if it is a problem such as it’s too ‘old’ then I would encourage to throw those feelings out the window for this series. The second season was magnificent as well. Again, similar to Gurren Lagann, the explosions, action scenes, was well implemented. Part of enjoying both Gunbuster’s is the animation, nothing to disregard on that category. My only complaint would be the CGI. It just looked too CGI for it to look good, but thank god they didn’t use much of it.
Overall 9.25/10 – I started to watch the second season first since I dislike the old fashioned style of anime of the 80′s to the mid 90′s. I was warned to watch the first season first and I decided to give it a shot. Boy was I glad I did. The first season was magnificent and only made the second season much better to enjoy. This is one of the few shows that takes the imagination of space to a new level. The first Gunbuster strongly reflected on the concept of space travel and it’s effect on time. Very fun stuff, the second season was strong on the human ability to colonize and travel around the solar system. As a huge fan of astronomy and the idea of space travel, it all just added to the enjoyment of the show for me. Now this show is pretty serious, barely no humor can be gathered from both Gunbuster’s, but at the same time it is RIDICULOUS! So just a heads up. Laws will be broken and perhaps a few “pfff’s” or “yea right’s” will happen. I can’t go much on about the series since their is only 12 episodes altogether, but ALOT does happen! Highly recommend.
Side note: This anime has 3 names in total: Aim for the top! and Diebuster are also the same anime.
If Anime was Real
There have been posts and videos about anime and what it would look like if it was real. We all know that it would be an ugly sight to see, which is the sad truth. This takes it onto a different approach. Wasn’t the best video and don’t expect it to be the funniest thing out there.
Bakemonogatari
Story 7.0/10 - Everyone has problems may it be physical or supernatural. The story centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third year high school student who has recently survived a vampire attack, and finds himself mixed up with all kinds of apparitions; gods, ghosts, mythological beasts, and spirits. The series tends to introduce only one new heroine per chapter, each involved with a different “apparition”. Most of them have an item which symbolises their spectres, such as Hitagi’s stapler – the claw of a crab, Mayoi’s back pack – the shell of a snail. The events of the previous chapters play an important role in the subsequent ones. The series primarily focuses on conversations between characters and it contains a fair number of parodies of other series. What does it all mean? Well it felt rushed and original. Something like The Simpsons, each episode follows a short story and has no relevance to the previous episode. Perhaps that is a tad overkill as each episode has some sort of involvement from the last, but kept at a minimum.
Animation 9.5/10 - This show is known for its animation. Not gonna lie, it’s awesome. It tries to be simple yet complicated keeping the visuals beautiful without looking too cheap. What got me off, which had too much of it unfortunately are these brightly, random, annoying pauses that have somewhat important text’s that are so short, you miss out on what it’s saying 80% of the time. Other than that, the fights were top notch, intense, bloody, and gory. Loved the fight scenes, but only a few occurred.
Characters 7.0/10 - Each arc introduces a new character, but my main problem was that characters from previous arc are not featured enough, they appear moderately in the next arc but afterwards their appearances are just here and there and it leaves you wanting more. Each heroine is different from the last which keeps the anime fresh. One character I didn’t like particularly was Hitagi Senjogahara. She called herself a tsundere and always speaks in an abusive style. At the end of Mayoi Snail, she admits that she loves Koyomi, and subsequently enters into a relationship with him. This was all fine and dandy, but she was too stuck-up for me to enjoy her personality. She was cute and felt intelligent, but wasn’t enough to overcome her negative attitude in the show.
Overall 7/10 - The problems each character had kept me wanted more, the problem was the annoying pauses mentioned before that drew away from the show. If they hadn’t integrated that into the show, it would be one of my favorite series. Some of the episodes felt slow, such as, non-stop talking that doesn’t go anywhere. It had humor that gave a ‘chuckle’ here and there, a few twists that made me go ‘oh?’, and fight scenes that go ‘damn’. Is it worth checking into? It’s hard to say, but I’ll give some advice. Watch the first 2 episodes and if you don’t like it, chances are it’s not worth watching any more.
Black Rock Shooter Game
No information is given about the release date or what console it’s going to be on, but I do have an idea…
Most likely it will either be on the PSP or the DS. Everyone is hoping for it to be on the PS3, but chances are so low I wouldn’t even consider it. Also to the folks who live in America, I can surely predict it’s only going to be released in Japan.
There you have it people, awesome news only to be disappointed. Of course I could be wrong and I really hope I am. I REALLY do.
Crystal Castles Concert
On August 9th 2010, Crystal Castles came to the Ogden Theatre in Denver. We got there pretty early as we both waltzed right in with no line in sight. It was fairly empty when we first walked in. Destructo was there and it sounded pretty good. It’s unfortunate that he had a small crowd and the fact no one was in the ‘zone’ to go insane so early in the evening. Though he was up on the stage for 2 hours and my friend and I were wondering when he was going to get off. Their is so much one person can handle from Destructo especially when they are eagerly waiting for the main event. I don’t remember the next DJ’s name when he came up after Destructo, but the music was on par. Everyone was in the mood by then and of course the crowd was bigger.
Oddly Crystal Castles was next. I was expecting them to be the last event of the concert. After the last DJ, it took 20-25 minutes to set up the stage for Crystal Castles.
When it began, it was epic. Definitely had punk feel to it as the lead singer would be rolling on the ground and be carried by the audience multiple times.
Thanks to my friend who not only introduced me to them, but took me to an awesome show!
Here is a music video of Celestica, one of my favorite songs done by Crystal Castles.
McNugget Rage
This video was just released today I believe, but it happened sometime last year according to the surveillance camera’s time.
Long story short, “Sorry ma’am we don’t serve Chicken McNuggets at this time”.
The woman was charged $1,500 and 60 days in prison.
Hatsune Miku Append
I saw a new figure of Hatsune Miku and I had no idea where exactly where it was from. By chance I ended up finding out by accident searching for a video on youtube. The latest version Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku Append ver is not just a figurine but a new software pack. An update over the Vocaloid 2, released by Cryptron Future Media INC, named “MIKU APPEND” that was released on April 30th of this year.
This software pack, give the Hatsune Miku, the face of the vocaloid line, more emotions like being happy, sad, dark or other basic emotions. With this, the feel of Miku’s sound will be further improved, and may sooth the critics main complain of the sound being too machine like.
One more pic to finish the job
I haven’t found any information on the figure if you wanted it in your home. As far as I know, it’s so fresh, pre-orders are yet to be announced. I will keep an eye out for a price and release date!

Small Mountain Hike
My friend had to video record of some mountain climbers for a project, so he invited me to go with him to Horsetooth Reservoir. It was a beautiful day with bright skies and warm temps. Mind you, these pics were taken from my phone so the beauty has been somewhat destroyed, but it makes a point. I ended up laying down on a gigantic rock for 45 min, blowing off my mind to make inner peace with myself.
Colouring
Another recommended AMV that it worth watching. Visuals and editing is a *thumbs up
Angel Beats!
Story 10/10 -Similar to Bleach, the story is about these kids who are dead. They wake up to a world where they are thinking that fighting the only way out because if they don’t, they will ‘disappear’. While there is much detail to be told, I don’t want to spoil the whole show. What I can tell you is that it was like a drug. I ended up watching the whole series (13 episodes) in two days, most of which was because I had to wait for my roommate to get home from work. What’s compelling about the show is the amount of remorse the show gives towards the cast. They all have a story that makes you go “damn that sucks” since they are all depressing. You have a feel for all the people, and since the show doesn’t tell the background story of everyone it makes you ask yourself “I wonder what regret he/she has”. Not only that, you only get to find out how one of them died in the real world. I’m pretty much saying that it will keep you intrigued, leaving questions left unanswered, hoping your uneasiness goes away. I will also add that it doesn’t seem to make sense in the beginning, but don’t fret, it all comes together. 
Animation 10/10 – This is by far the most beautiful and detailed series I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing that this is a series and not a movie because the quality is the same. The things I noticed differently from almost any other anime out as of now is the eyes. The color is like a shade from light to dark and it’s just gorgeous. The hair is also different, the color goes from light to dark in a very suttle way, unlike having white streaks on the edges of their hair. The CGI is well done as well. You pretty much have to see for yourself. It’s clear they had the funds to make the show and didn’t hesitate to spend it. Smooth, soft, colorful, I can’t describe it well enough to make it sound as good as it is.
Characters 10/10 – The cast and how they were portrayed was well done. Now I liked and disliked the idea of the amount of detail was left out for most of the characters. It left some sort of mystery about them. I think this matches well with the concept of the whole show. What the hell is going on kind of thing. They were all fighting for what they believed in, but they didn’t know if it was the right thing to do. Like I mentioned before the lack of information left me wanting to watch more in hopes I do get to know the characters story and while they didn’t leave much of anything except for Ontonashi (the protagonist), and maybe some detail about Kanade, Yurripe, and Hinata, I think it was enough. Now people might complain that it was a bad move on the producers of the show to leave out so much detail, but I don’t think it was. We become spoiled and feel we are supposed to be given information about everything so that we can connect to the character more properly in the show. It would’ve been too obvious; “oh, they told the story of the main character and now we are going to learn about the others”, but it doesn’t and I respect that. Everyone is in this “purgatory” world because they died unsatisfied and full of regret, so we already know that it was a depressing death, isn’t that enough information? There isn’t a need to get into everyone’s life story. I know I’m ranting, but I think this is an important concept. Other than that, I enjoyed the cast and their behavior, it felt real and not over-the-top ridiculous.
Overall 10/10 – It’s ignorant to give a show a perfect score because there is always room for corrections, but I’m doing it anyway. No doubt I enjoyed the show, the story, characters, and animation with complete satisfaction. It has been awhile since I finished a series so quickly (the last was twelve kingdoms a year ago). I must also add that I enjoyed the humor, I laughed, chuckled and was amused by it all. It takes effort to make a serious show, where these kids died, pissed off, rebelling and add humor, BUT not too much, just the right amount. Last but not least is how the show steered from one situation to another was brilliant. For example, Ontonashi had a plan to help his friends, so he picked Yui. He successfully sent her away and it felt as though the rest of the show was about him sending his friends away, but it didn’t work that way. There were other times where this happened and completely changes towards a different direction.
Black Rock Shooter Gold Saw
Black Rock Shooter seems to be everywhere these days. A new figurine Black★Gold Saw, is part of the supporting cast of the OVA series Black★Rock Shooter. Her relevance to the plot is still unclear, and her origins, along with her human counterpart, have not been disclosed. It is presumed that in the beginning of the OVA, she fights Black★Rock Shooter and is victorious, giving Black★Rock Shooter her scars. It is unknown if she is an “other self” at all, and if she is, whom she is one for and how she relates to Black★Rock Shooter or Kuroi Mato. Her possible human counterpart in the real world was sitting on the chair of the train at the beginning, but this is unclear as the hairstyle is very common and the eye color is difficult to tell.
Images/credit from Dannychoo
Black★Gold Saw is a girl with red eyes and long black hair. A red flame shoots out from her right eye. She has a pair of curved black horns whose color turns to red as it reaches the tip. Like Dead Master, Black★Gold Saw also has skeletal claws. Her outfit is similar to Black★Rock Shooter except for the design of her jacket and her bikini top; her jacket extends into a worn-out cape which is dyed red at the end.
Like all of the “other selves”, her eyes have a circular pattern in them. Her weapon of choice is a large black sword with a long handle and a curved hilt shaped like a pointing-down crescent.
Japanese Sex Toys
Japan is widely known for it’s unique and unusual culture of sex. It’s so unusual that Japan is considered the most perverted country in the world. Now I would normally rant about the justification of this statement as opinion based or actual fact, but I’ll leave that up to you.
This is about one particular company that makes special “toys” for guys, called Tenga. Their moto goes
No baggage
No Headaches
No String Attached
[think of it as dating without the drama]
This is from the official American Tenga distribution website where the products innovated in Japan can be easily purchased in America rather than buying them over in Japan. It seems they are targeting single guys and trying to make them feeling better by saying “your better than those other guys who have to deal with a significant other”.
“TENGA products are engineered to produce a potent, but controllable, sucking sensation without motors, pumps, or somebody that just might not be in the mood. TENGA’s don’t get tired. They don’t get headaches or PMS, and they don’t stop working if a storm knocks your electricity out. With a TENGA in hand, YOU control the experience – when, where, and how.”
The best part is how they boast in how awesome their products are. Using the latest technology and scientifically tested to produce the best sexual sensation-to replicate actual sex, Tenga does it all! The tutorial videos do seem to show some justice to what they say. When you see the tenga at work, literally doing work on your badongadonk, it looks rather painful or if your into the sadistic stuff, the most amazing thing to go inside your dingle-ling. They do have more than just one type of Tenga. In-fact theirs a bunch of different ones..
- Tenga Black Deep Throat Cup

- Tenga Black Rolling Head Cup
- Tenga Egg Lotion
- Tenga Eggs (Season 1 and 2)
- Tenga Fliphole
- Tenga Fliplite – Melty White & Solid Black
- Tenga Hole Warmer
- Tenga Red Air Cushion Cup
- Tenga Red Deep Throat Cup
- Tenga Red Double Hole Cup
- Tenga Red Rolling Head Cup
- Tenga Red Soft Tube Cup
- Tenga White Air Cushion Cup
- Tenga White Deep Throat Cup
- Tenga White Soft Tube Cup
Each supposed to intimidate the best possible feeling of sex in different ways, for example the Tenga Red Air Cushion Cup is supposed to feel of one acting in missionary position. Each have their own chart of arousal and a very imaginative diagram of how its supposed to work. I would put up the rest of the other Tenga products information up, but you get the point.
The Hole and Lite versions come with lube and here are the descriptions of each.
MILD : Wrap yourself in a gentle touch. Let it envelope you in warmth and kindness.
REAL : Relish the feel of superb moisture for a realistic experience. For those who want it real!
WILD : Stimulation explosion! Enjoy every single inch with Tenga Hole Lotion Wild! Tenga Hole Lotion is a watery liquid
One interesting fact about the Tenga products is that some have a number of uses before it should be discarded. The Tenga Egg is a portable version of the series, small and compact, but can only be used once per egg. The Tenga FlipHole and Tenga Fliplite (smaller version of the hole) was constructed to be cleaned after use so it can be used multiple times. Now I saw some sources say that it should be used 50x or so then thrown away, but I don’t see why it needs to be thrown out at all if it can be cleaned the same every time.
I haven’t personally used this myself, nor will I ever (I think), but it’s interesting all-together. A couple years back I browsed the site and they were in need of testers. I actually filled the online application because of these reasons.
1)Get paid to feel good (unless it’s a failed product that might cut your special part off)
2) Go to Japan for free as they pay for everything, housing, tickets, etc.
3) I’m single
I never got a call back, but perhaps it was for the best. It makes me wonder what kind of tests they would’ve done on people….(shutters). Anyways, here are some videos
K-On!
Story 7.5/10 - It’s simple, which is a good thing. Basically, there isn’t much of anything to expect as K-On! gets to the point. As in every anime that involves the daily life at high school, plenty of school clubs are doing their best to recruit new members. Then Yui, the clutsy, “stupid” character can’t decide which club t go to. However, when she accidentally signs up to join the light music club, she decides to become a guitarist. There’s just one problem: she’s never played the guitar before in her life. So it’s unique that she learned to play it and everyone else (including her younger sister) to know how to play the guitar well. K-On! Lacked much on the learning aspect of playing an instrument all together. As she meets up with new friends, her and the band aim for the bokugan, a show or competition bands go to.
Animation 8.5/10 - It’s your typical 2005 and up type of animation. Such as Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Clannad, etc. but this is good. The only difference from the other shows is the way the facial expressions on the characters faces are portrayed
for certain events, making the characters ‘cuter’ and laughable. My personal favorite would be the repeated drawn circle on the eyes as some sort of fluster feeling or perhaps when they feel oblivious to what is going on (which happens quite a bit). The last important bit is the way the music the band plays goes very well with the animation, drums hitting where the drum at the right time feeling like they really are playing a song.
Characters 6.5/10 - All the characters were ‘lovable’. Of course they each had their unique perk, reaction, and all that jazz. You have the sane normal girl (Mio Akiyama) who plays the bass and tries to get her friends to act accordingly. The rich, blonde girl Tsumugi Kotobuki, who instead of acts like a stubborn, spoiled brat is innocent and forgiving. The crazy and misorganized Ritsu Tainaka who happens to be the manager of the band. Last but not least, the protagonist of the show Yui Hirasawa. In some shows we determine what kind of personality the character has; how they react to situations. This show tried not to have the characters overreact too much, so it feels more realistic and not so absurd to make it more funny or dramatic. I hate shows where the character exaggerates to the problem making it bigger problem than it should be. I know it’s hard to mix a character’s personality to more than just one particular category, but it’s the same pretty much through any other anime based off a group of friends. Same personality quirk, different face. It tends to get ‘boring’ sometimes.
Overall 7.25/10 - I wasn’t hooked like I wanted to be. I’ve seen and heard remarkable reviews for this show. It’s everywhere in the anime world, like the next Haruhi. From all this hype comes disappointment. I did laugh a couple times and it was a relaxing show, but that was it. Through the last half of the show I thought to myself “there is potential”. There is a second season called K-On!! (with two ! instead of one) and hoping they fixed the problem the first season had. Now it doesn’t sound professional to not exactly know what is missing or how it could be better, but I know it can be done. If you feel the need to watch a semi-comedic, not over-the-top ridiculous, relaxing show, then K-On! is for you.
