Thank god for google calendar

Honestly, i would never b able to keep up with anything, my memory's so bad nowadays.

A while ago i had the brilliant idea of writing down all important dates on Google calendar and have it notify me like a week before.


As people know, i have that weird habit of keeping track of my characters' bdays. This is because when one of those comes along, I always reflect about the character, the design, the background, etc. And as i do that, sometimes i reinvent part of it and make it more interesting.

Dandel, well, besides what i wrote on the wiki about her, not much to say really. I like her a lot because, deep down, she's like a shy pervert like a lot of us are and it's easy to relate to her, but it's just funny to see a girl in that situation for once.

If anyone wants to doodle some of her for her bday, that'd b nice, but i'm really not gonna force anyone.

Sexy Sega Sisters

Console Gals Logo





Top Left to Right: SMS Mistress, Genesis Girl
Bottom Left to Right: Saturn Sanshiko, Dreamcast Kunoichi




Sexy Sega Sisters:
Sega Corporation was around when the Great Crash of 1983 occurred. This caused many of the Sega folks to panic about the future of their console gal. However, before Sega could do anything, they were eventually bought out and became Sega Enterprises Ltd. Ever since their new owner came into play, things looked healthy for the first two Sega Sisters, but that quickly changed during the Bernie Stolar regime. While some accessories were unnecessary and may have given the girls a bad reputation (32x for the Genesis) it was not their style that doomed them, but their management. After many failures Sega decided to pull out of the Console Gal business and solely focus on the franchise aspect of it.

SMS Mistress
SMS was in fact built to be technically more skilled than NES Girl. However, being the more advance one did not equate to winning the fans over *cough* PS3 *cough*. Not surprisingly, SMS did not do to well in Japan or North America, but enjoyed a good following in other parts of the world. After a few years her hardware clothes would be further improved and she hid under the alias as Game Gear Chick. Many were not aware of her hiding as Game Gear Chick, but those who did bought the convertor which allowed fans to access her old Master System Game Cards.

Genesis Girl
Genesis Girl is pretty competitive and decided to leave a note for Nintendo's headquarters on her debut. The letter simply stated "Genesis does what Nintendon't". Nintendo was pretty cheesed and released SNES Girl 2 years later. Since then she been seen wearing a shirt that was written as:

W E L C O
M E T O T
H E N E X
T L E V E L

With the two girls on the market this sealed a rivalry between the two girls and perhaps created the first true "Console Gal Fanboys". Unlike SNES Girl's clean reputation Genesis Girl is well known to love violence.

Saturn Sanshiko
Saturn Sanshiko was developed after Sega's addition of the Sega CD and 32X accessories for Genesis Girl and saw success in Japan. She was programmed to be a powerhouse in 2d pixeling and as such garnered favor from many of the 2d sponsors such as Capcom and SNK. However rumors began spreading that PS1 Lady and N64 Dame were going to be polygon skilled and in a last minute training session she was given another processor to compete. In Japan Saturn was paired up with Sanshiro Segata and caught the audience appeal. In North America though, she ended up being hated due to Bernie Stolar's prophecies of an RPG free empire. Additionally, to the shock of everyone Saturn debuted much earlier than anticipated which lead to many angry sponsors and a huge lack of launch title gaming knowledge. If there was one thing she had going, it was her super awesome second model controller which was later made availble for the PC and PS2 Lady. Despite her lack of support and poor manager decision, she has grown a strong small following of fans.

Dreamcast Kunoichi
In a last ditch effort for a Console Gal market, Sega decided to create Dreamcast Kunoichi. Initially she had a twin sister code named Black Belt and she was code named Dural (named after the Virtua Fighter boss). The twins were pretty much the same except for a slight variation in how they process information. In the end, the Dreamcast Kunoichi you know was chosen due to her training being closer to her arcade relative Naomi. Black Belt was thrown into a vault and is never heard from again; Sega and Dreamcast Kunoichi both denys her existance. Dreamcast was trained in the arts of the Katana wielding and was upgraded from her prototype training. At first Kunoichi's anticipation from fans was quite high and fared much better than PS1 Lady and N64 Dame, but upon her arrival, she was plagued with several bugs. Unlike previous Console Gals Dreamcast Kunoichi embraced the new technology of online connectivity, but being one of the first to dab into this early weapon system she encountered many problems. She became quite injured in a battle before PS2 was announced, but soon as she saw her new competition she decided to retire into the mountains.

King of Fighters XII

SNK was nice enough to post some sprites and how they created their sprites on their website. If you are interested, they have not changed their methods at all. They pretty much take a 3d model and draw over the pixels until you get what you see in game. Anyway, I took the liberty to clean a few and animate Mature's idle stance. Man she turns me on. I'm such an orochi woman lover.







There are other ones, but I'm sure no one really likes Ash the loser.

Meet Perl

Perl is an artificial human character that i created so that PizzaCat would have someone else to hang with his character Proxy

Perl is a scrapped prototype that was designed for scouting and infiltration and not for battle. She's supposedly powered by crystals that only exist on my persona's world, which when "activated" produce energy and partially nullify gravity.

Perl was one of the very very few made using these crystals, she does not have even remotely the same strength as Proxy but instead is a stealth specialist capable of becoming fully cloaked.

Anyway, Pizzacat finally drew Perl for the first time, click on the pic to visit his blog and have a look at it.

I'm supposed to make my own variation on that doodle of Perl, a director's cut if u will, I just haven't had time.

Thoughts: Sniper vs Spy Update - Week 1

I... hate the way the game is now. TF2 has become idle/unfairness central.

Here's how my tf2 experience has been this week:
  • I've noticed a huge influx of extremely retarded players lately, granted most are noobs and just mess up on gameplay level, but i made the mistake of chatting with some people, and i was reminded why all internet communities are bad.
  • Valve's new randomizing system is so extremely badly coded, that I've seen people get around 25 items within 5mins, actually the guy had his inventory full but still kept getting items. instead of randomizing to others, it randomizes the item and gives always to the same guy.
The TF2 forum has had a few topics of people claiming they kept getting all the items in the game within a few minutes and filled up their inventory. But, seeing as the trading system isn't working, It's useless. this is the worse idea, concept, and implementation Valve ever did.


Valve response to the system obviously being broken has been none, it was obvious from day 1 it sucked, hell, anyone could had guessed it, but an entire week and not a word? I am losing so much respect for the only gaming company i did respect.

Thoughts about the new items:

First the spy:
  • The Ambassador - headshots, snipers are so fucked, all u need to know.
  • Dead Ringer - was cool, makes spies nearly invincible and sorta useful, was a huge mindfuck on people. But got nerfed real fast. Valve sure has it's priorities all fucking wrong.
  • Cloak and Dagger - I DON´T KNOW! VALVE NEEDS TO FIX TRADING FOR ME TO FIND OUT!
And now the sniper crap:
  • The Huntsman - It's actually fun to use, hard as fuck to aim with it cause it's a relatively slow projectile, but high damage and i hit way more with it than with the rifle. Also friendly pyros can set your arrow on fire for extra dmg.
  • Jarate - It's a jar of piss, it's juvenile and funny, makes spies visible, gives mini crits AIDS, and puts out friendlies that are on fire. That's about it.
  • Razorback - incredibly pointless, especially cause of the ambassador.
So, has my opinion of the update got better after a week? No, it got worse.

Most players are forced to leave the game on and idle on a server while they sleep, this is simply the worse kind of framing I've ever head of, ever.

i give up on playing it until they fix it, i've been cranky and moody all week because of the unfairness and trying to get something good.

Still DO NOT WANT.

A lil rip from TF2

If you play TF2, u may have noticed that now there's class icons used in the leaderboard since the spy vs sniper update came out.

Well, i got them for myself cause of my obsession with all things icon like, and thought I'd post them here to share with anyone who might like them.





Also if anyone sees a nice mod for a custom set of these, please let me know, these aren't too good looking ingame or that intuitive.

Holy tuna fish sushi Batman, I'm still alive!

So my presence have been very lacking in this blog but I will be posting more regularly now. Anyway, I am now have obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development with a minor in Mathematics from my school and will be applying to a better school for a Masters degree.

The school I am attempting to apply will be in fact much more expensive and will require me to borrow from the bank. I do not want to do this at all as I hate owing money to anyone let alone the banks. However, I believe that this school will provide for me a much better experience and will in fact provide me work with me to land a job where I want it.

On a side note, when did K-ToF started using those image things? I think I will jest him with my own. HA take that!

Another note: I will be posting the rest of the Console Gals this week.
