Silent Hill meets Tomb Raider meets… Pringles?

I’m not usually the sort to be enticed by advertisements, even if they are interactive ones online. But this video which turned out to be an ad for Pringles sure caught my eye.

Exam Answers Win

Today is one of the few days during this hectic ‘A’-level period (a period in which I have studied more than I have ever studied over my two-year course in Junior College) when I can kick back and relax a bit before the next paper many days later. I thought I’d just share a few funny exam answers I stumbled upon at Sankaku Complex recently. They made me laugh a bit, and gave me that much needed exam-stress relief.

Get Down!

I know this Internet meme has been going round for quite some time already and that I’m quite late to be blogging about it only now(busy doing IRL stuff), but I realized that it is really quite interesting and appealing, at least to my tastes (and not just because it’s partially Japanese, srsly guiz go faq yourselves) so I deemed it suitable enough to fill some space here.

Get Down! (ゲッダン) is an Internet meme which combines a crazy idea with crazy images and crazy music to produce an Internet meme that is infectious, funny and three times the awesome.

Re: Everybody Is Scared Excited for AFA’09

When comments do not seem to work, I fall back on trackbacks!

While I agree that Danny Choo has contributed to the global surge of the popularity of anime, I wouldn’t say that it was he who mainstreamed it. Rather, he only documented it, the industry has by itself assimilated into Hollywood culture. It’s like a paradigm shift, the conformation of a certain pattern because of its proximity to ideality, that drove otaku subculture to become the way it is now. Manga artists of today will find it hard to get by in Japan if they do not write within the mainstream genres. “It’s going to be especially difficult to make a living for the kind of authors who can’t pen ero/parody/bishonen/bishoujo manga (in fact it is right now).” -Tamiki Wakai, Shounen Sunday mangaka.

I suppose the Japanese are seeing how this scheme has benefited the Americans, and are copying them in hopes of achieving similar success. Just my two cents, may not be worth the two cents though.

By the way TP bro, I can’t make it for the dinner thing on Friday. Got something else to attend to. You guys enjoy yourselves there.

Top Searches Fail 2

I’ve heard of frog legs, and I’ve eaten them before, but this… Is ridiculous.

Also, it seems that my stats have peaked ever since I posted that Modern Warfare 3 video. Hmm, now I think I know what kind of posts I should be making to generate more public interest…

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing Trucks

Hot on the heels of what is predicted to be the biggest selling video game of all time, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Onion News Network reports that Activision is already in the final testing stages of their freshest product, Modern Warfare 3, which looks set to outdo the previous game in every way imaginable.

Yeah knockhead, I’m talking to you!

Top searches fail

I can understand that somebody may have a thing for Konata, but why is the search phrased like that?

Taken from from WordPress dashboard.

In other news, it would seem that netizens Googling ‘AK’ and expecting to find the famed assault rifle are also likely to visit my site from their search results. Ho hum, that’ll do me some good publicity.

K-On! at AFA 09

With regards to this post:

Life After ‘A’ Levels… More Hectic than Before ‘A’ Levels?

I’ll be honest with you.

When I made my last post in August, saying how I would quit all forms of ‘recreation’ on the Internet to focus more on my studies, I thought I heard an old, sagely, wise voice whispering from the back of my head.
