Anime makes the most ridiculous shit be awesome

This is something me and Zach found by accident while looking up a voice actor: The Legend of Koizumi

This anime is about world leaders deciding the fate of countries in games of mahjong, it's so absurd we have to look it up on YouTube, and oh my god...



This is the first episode, there's 2 more on YouTube, and they're weirder and more intense, way more...

We all know there's all sorts of anime about silly subjects, some turn out awesome, some are just dumb (Beyblade comes to mind).

This is possibly the best thing I've seen in ages. The ludicrous theme of the show just makes it more entertaining. I highly recommend watching the next 2 episodes, because the get exponentially better and better.

Episode 2

Episode 3

The remakes of Spiderdubs: An opinion

Now, ages ago I wrote a small article to talk about Spiderdub. It isn't quite meant to make sense but ended up being hilarious.

The creator, MW10T, recently partner'd up with someone and now there's a site for his Dubs ( http://rablats.com/spiderdub ). That's cool, I like that.

On Youtube, for whatever reason, his first episodes of Spiderdub are missing. Instead of re-uploading them to blip.tv, which is what he uses now, he remade and re-dubbed the episodes entirely, and they're way longer.

But, that kinda ruins them in a way.

Spiderdub 4 is the first one that available on YouTube and has a remake:


Original YouTube version


Remastered version on rablats.com

The first ones were short, the timing was good and the voice acting sounded natural. Granted that thinking they were funny or not depends on your sense of humor, but most of the time they amused me.

The "remakes" are really really long and the timing feels off. The voice acting feels much less natural, like he's reading off a script, which is probably what he's doing now.

And he's including those really weird and sometimes somewhat disturbing intermissions in them now, which is something he started doing in all his videos and as far as I know, no one actually likes. They feel like in case you were actually having some fun, they're there to pull the drag chute and make sure you're not anymore.

Those are the biggest downer, because the episodes are already longer and less entertaining, but this random shit in it is making it much worse and right down annoying to watch.

You know what? I just figured it out, he's pulling a George Lucas on us. The Original stuff was good, the later stuff wasn't as good, the remakes are bad with added shit no one cares.

If you disagree with me, feel free to share your opinion.

Couple more pics from the pandaren females

So, this first picture is the concept art for the Pandaren female, and honestly, all I can think about is how awkward it must have been when the artist turned that sketch in.

There must be a really awkward environment at Blizzard right now where no one wants the say the word "furry", but everyone is constantly thinking about it and being confused about their sexual preferences.

Like, the guy who approved the concept and said "It looks good" probably thought in the back of his head "Oh god, I didn't mean it like that, I wonder if he thinks I'm into furries now."

I'd love to work there just to laugh my ass off.

The 2nd pic is a red panda, which is something I was wondering too, although I originally forgot to write about it here.

So now it begs the question: We established that we have more than 1 color, should we expect more? if so, should we expect "nonsense colors"? Cause that would truly be going into full furry territory.

Here's a little known fact, back in the day, I made a couple of WoW model mods, and one of them was for Dwarven females, I'm very familiar with their build, and I gotta say, the more I look at the female Pandarens, the more I see similarities with the Dwarven counterpart.

Here's the last and probably only surviving picture of the mod btw. Don't ask me for it, it's long gone.

Slightly off-topic, but along with those pics, I found this one, and it looks like a sort of rat that is also part dragon and carries a small barrel with explosives with it.

I dunno what it is, but I thought it looked awesome.

WoW's female Pandaren revealed

So, this is something I mentioned a while ago, the female Pandaren.

Well, it's not too thin. Doesn't look too bad really.

Obviously, you have a wave of people hating it, and another wave of people loving it. But honestly, my interest is the sexual dimorphism. So let's compare:

Again, and IF this is up to scale, it looks reasonable. Personally I would had made the female a lil "wider", but seems fine to me.

I've read people comparing the female Pandaren to the female Dwarves, Which I can't see as a negative thing since they were my fav females build wise. Also, it's fitting seeing as Samwise, the artist who originally came up with the Pandaren, always linked them to Dwarves, in the sense both liked booze and getting in fights.

I think he has drawn, years ago, some pictures of Pandarens and Dwarves partying together.

IF I were to change something, I'd give the female Pandaren wider hips and thighs. They seem a lil thin for that build.

Another video about ME3 and "entitlement"

Just today, Foreverpandering uploaded a video on Youtube about gamer entitlement. However, he made it into a satire, which actually makes it quite funny.

Showed it to bitten earlier, he laughed at it so i don't think it'll offend anyone.

I'm kinda sick of the subject of ME3 and the greed/incompetence of the gaming industry in general. This last week it's all people have been talking about like it's something new. I've been saying this shit for years.

Just yesterday, I was talking to a friend and saying that they knew it didn't matter if ME3 was good or bad, cause everyone was gonna buy it anyway. With that knowledge in mind, why put effort into it? If we could "unbuy" games, the gaming industry would actually have to try harder. And we can't have that.

I still strongly encourage people to do research and watch reviews of a game before buying it. Don't buy shitty games, save your money to encourage good gaming.

Still, this is a fun vid, enjoy.

New Bro Team Pill: Lord of the Rings Online

There's a few of these I haven't posted when I was fucked up in bed unable to move.

Maybe it was because I was in pain, but i didn't particularly think they were funny. Heck this one feels ok, but it's starting to stale.

I tend to attribute the fact that I'm getting bored with something to my personality. I do tend to get bored with things abnormally fast sometimes, usually simply by analyzing it and thinking about it for a bit.

But even if they're not as funny to me as they used to, they're still interesting in the sense that they pick up games I've never heard of, and I can get an impression of the game in a rather short video. Granted a grossly inaccurate impression, but still.

I guess if the votes for these videos are still positive, I'll keep posting these.

A video about DLC by Supergreatfriend

This is a video from Supergreatfriend, a LPer and reviewer that both me and Zach have a been a fan of since his "Deadly Premonition" LP.

While playing in his LPs or reviewing, he talks about his views on gaming, and one of the reasons I like the guy is because for the most part, I share those views, although he's way more tolerant than I am.

Recently, there's been a lot of controversy and general bullshit about Mass Effect 3, and this video is mostly Supergreatfriend venting/ranting about the subject.

You only need to listen to it, the video is unimportant, it's something random he threw on it just so it wasn't a black screen.

Me and Bitten were having a long ass convo about this just yesterday, and I was having trouble explaining my point of view to him. So I'm going to force him to watch this tomorrow.

I was also thinking about writing some article about the subject and get flamed for it. I'm just glad Supergreatfriend saved me the trouble.

I may still write something about the subject, because the concept of DLC has been corrupted and twisted so bad. Some companies lock content that was originally in the game on purpose now. Just seems that in general, it had a very negative impact on gaming.
