Happy Turkey Day guys! Here’s a video guaranteed to make your heart smile.

Damn PETA! I’m all about animal rights, but do they really have to do ridiculous crap like this?! Way to go about demonizing a nice, fun game like Cooking Mama just because it involves meat. Personally, I think it’d be a boring game if all the dishes I ever cooked were made with Tofu. I don’t know how they’re getting away with blatantly using Cooking Mama name, graphics and all. Maybe because it says “unauthorized PETA version”…?

It’s been quite some time since I posted anything, and I think it’s time to just back on the failtrain.  While school, work, and vidjya games had me wrapped up last month, I still had time to check the internetz and got bored of that.

Speaking of school, I had to do an introductory speech on a person, fictinional or not.  That one person had to be our dear friend Dr. Gordon Freeman.  While I did a really crappy job on the speech, I learned some things about Gordon, Barney, and the entire universe itself.  That’s all the boring, dry, and informative stuff that I know you care nothing about.  Here’s the juice, fun stuff that I stumbled across on my joourney for more info on the Free Man:

We can all remember a month or two ago when Oprah’s forums got trolled. We have something else just as awesome, betraying people’s beliefs. Miley Cyrus’ youtube account was hacked, and someone posted a video saying that she had died. Here to give a better explanation is Sxephil:

The best part isn’t even the story, it’s the response videos that people posted. View them after the jump.

This is one of the most beautiful cosplays I’ve ever seen! I want this dress and not just for cosplaying purposes! I should just do the ultimate nerdy thing and get married in Yuna’s wedding dress at an anime con….Otakon 2010 featuring Baku and Lan’s wedding….LOLZ! This is a silly frivolous post, so I’m going to pose the following questions:

If Baku and I were to get married at Otakon, would you come to our wedding? Keep in mind that as this is at a con, there’s a mandatory cospplay dress code. Who would you show up as? Would you behave appropriately or inappropriately? And would you ever consider getting married in cosplay at a con?

As I’ve told many of you, my laptop went kaput. I am in the process of procuring a new one, and it’ll take about two weeks until I’m able to really post again. I know what you’re saying “Hey, Sensei, you’re posting now!” Yea. I am. I’m also at school in one of the very rare breaks that I get. So, I won’t be posting until my new laptop gets in. Just so ya know.

So, perusing the forums for Ohayocon, in particular the cosplay thread. There was the usual Soul Eater, Phoenix Wright, Bleach, Naruto, but I have to wonder what the hell is Twilight doing in there?! I’m personally not a fan of the series (because of Stephanie Meyer’s terrible writing not because of the series’ popularity). I try to refrain from bashing it because I know so many people love it, and I don’t wish to die a painful death via rabid fangirls.

However, I cannot understand why the hell anyone would consider “cosplaying” as Twilight characters at an ANIME CON. THERE’S NO COSTUME INVOLVED! Okay, fangs and if you wanna go all out, contact lenses–boom! you’re a vampire. If you’re gonna be a werewolf in wolf form, I could possibly accept that; but for me, it’s not much different from a werewolf Halloween costume. And who’s going to be one anyway? Everyone’s going to either be Bella or Edward or one of his vampire relatives. How can expect anyone to recognize you as one of the characters when you’re wearing regular clothes? You could try replicating the outfits from the movie, but those aren’t any different from your own clothes.

Cosplay for me is distinctly looking like someone other than yourself, particularly a character from a game, anime, manga, or some other Japanese culture. Twilight does not fit into any of those categories. Of all the people you could cosplay as, why the hell would you choose to look like some uncreative, normal looking person from Twilight? And how would you “characterize” them besides going around being e-mo? Actually, what I really want to know is how you go around “dazzling” people? I may have just condemned myself writing this post, but oh well.

So I want you guys’ opinion: Do you think Twilight is a legitimate cosplay? Who would you rather see at an anime con: Darth Vader or a Twilight character? Why?

Yes, waiting is incredibly boring but I don’t have anything else to do at the moment. I have a scheduled appointment with my dentist. I forgot the previous one because they though that it would be a good idea to send me a letter about it 2 months in advance and then just stay quiet. Of course I’m going to forget it and stow away the letter somewhere during that time. So I called them up and got a new time today instead and now I sit here at the library writing this while waiting.

I don’t know where I’m going with this but I thought I should make a post at least so it doesn’t seem like I introduce myself and then just disappear.

Library computers suck. Especially when they force you to use IE6 at 800×600 when the screen is made for 1024×768.

Hello there. I though that I should introduce myself since I’m a new writer for Jerkpop. My name is Okänd (pronounced like ocean with a d on the end (ocean-d) and with a longer o) and I’m from Sweden.

I’m a fearsome Viking that recently went to pillage the Bahamas.

I scared them by saying I would return and steal everything again if anyone there told anyone I was there. That’s why nobody has heard anything about it until now.

This is probably not really what you were expecting, but it’s still amazing. During the election coverage at CNN tonight, there was an interview with a hologram. Yes, go ahead, read it again, a hologram. Don’t believe me? Look:

Straight outta Star Wars. I don’t claim to know the science behind it, but it seems like it should be real in theory. If anyone out there can get the science behind this and explain it to me, I’ll be grateful. Nothing left to say other than, “Hurry up and get me a flying car!”
