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?

Jerkpop just might be KURO POSTS VIDEOS blog again, oh well. Here.

OH LAWD THEY ARE OUT TO GET US!!!!!!!!

Why does fail always seem to happen to me?

Sunday. SUNDAY! It’s my one day off. My one day to get more than 5 hours of sleep, and what do i do? After going to bed around my normal time, 2, without being forcably woken up, i’d expect to wake up at 10 at the earliest (run on sentence FTW!) BUT… NO, SOMEHOW, SOMEFUCKINGHOW I WAKE UP AT 6:34. GETTING BACK TO SLEEP ISNT A FUCKING OPTION! Because I suck like this.

RAGE.

This is pretty damn epic guys, Palin used a yahoo email for government email, over 1100 email were sent with the particular account.

SERIOUSLY

A stockpile of the headache/eyestrain machine that is the Virtual Boy has been found while cleaning out a warehouse in Dubai.  That shows how much people cared about the machine.  I don’t care what people say though, I love mine and I still have it.  Do I play it, no, but I have it when I want it…and I get to brag.  So w/e to all ye naysayers, I think it’s been the epitome of 3D (actual 3D) gaming ever.  And it just looks damn cool in its red lined and black background technology.

Unfortunately, ya looked like a dork playing the thing.

These girls, yes girls, are in their mid twenties. Jesus lawdy help me christ.

Ok, so you see the tags “Gurren Lagann” and “Fail”, right? How is this possible, you might think. Well normally, but by now we’ve all seen the latest Parallel works. Incase you haven’t, here. You will probably cry though.

DID YOU SEE THAT? After six weeks of waiting, the most epic song of all time, Libera Me gets treated like that. WHAT THE FUCK!? We’ve all been raging for the past 12 hours or so now, for right reason. This is the most epic fail in the history of everything. Gainax ruined the dreams of billions of us Spiral Energy Life Forums. I doubt humanity will be able to recover for quite a while. I guess, thankfully, we’ll all be killed by the Hadron collider tomorow, no better timing I say. We shouldn’t be alive as a race after this CLEARLY AVOIDABLE TRAGEDY. Fuck you Gainax.
