English, and a few very useless Japanese phrases.

Still trying to decide while looking over the schedules that were just released.

Who will you be with?
I'll float around between various groups of friends.

Do you do trades?
Do you do commissions?
I draw Salad Fingers kind of decently, so if you want that scribbled on a napkin or something then sure.

What suit(s) will you have?
I have a really derpy Charlie Brown ghost costume I'll be wearing.

Can I dance with you?
I don't dance.

It depends on the situation, but sure, I guess.

Be my guest.

I'm not very photogenic, but okay, I guess.

As long as you don't get me gin, you're welcome to liquor me up all you want.

Do you drink Alcohol/Smoke?
I do drink, and recently switched from cigarettes to vapor, with an occasional cigar or hookah session.

If I'm not busy otherwise, then sure.

Are you nice?

Other cons you may go to?
I'm thinking of going to AnthroCon next year, but I'm still debating it.

Attending any events?
Again, still deciding.

How can I find you at the con?
I'm sure the Charlie Brown ghost handing rocks to people will be hard to miss.

Can we go out for a dinner?
Yes, you can take me just about anywhere for food. My fat ass ain't picky.

Are you buying art?
I have some things I hope to pick up, but I'll see.

What do I have to watch out for when I am meeting you?
I may not make eye contact at first, and if I'm doing something else at the same time I may not be completely focused on the conversation.

What is the best way to contact you?
Either come up and say hi or get a hold of my cell phone number.

May I kidnap you to my room?
You liquor me up first you can take me anywhere you want.

You look pretty tired, are you ok?
I probably either just woke up or didn't sleep all night, so I just need caffeine.

Will you tell me your room-number and can I surprise visit you?
Surprise room visits probably won't be welcome, but if we make plans ahead of time and my roommates are fine with it then sure.

I have a personal question for the convention. May I ask you that?
Go for it.

I may as well do this since all the cool kids are doing it.

I kind of expected to be worse, but whatever.

You know, when I started this game, I thought it was gonna be a fun little cross between a tactical RPG and an action RPG. I thought there was gonna be a silly, nonsensical story just to have an excuse to put together a bunch of characters from different franchises, most of which I never heard of. For the most part that was true, and the game was fun, until the final boss came in and took a giant shit all over the game. Up until now, the game had some challenging parts, but it was a fair challenge, and still fun, but now it decided to take a big leap into bullshit hard. I'm just stunned by how fucking hard it got.

To start off this last fight, you're at the bottom of a staircase with a couple units and a few fairly easy enemies. You're given 15 turns to get to the top, destroy a force-field, and kill the boss. Not so bad to start, but as you climb, the rest of your party members show up, with all the old bosses showing up with them. That's kind of a problem with the time limit, so I figure it's time to haul ass and get rid of the barrier, taking unnecessary damage as I go. Then I get to the barrier and take it down. Now, before this, the bosses had roughly 150,000 HP. Considering you can do roughly 20,000-30,000 damage per attack round with each unit, not too bad. The final boss has 277,000 HP, on top of all the old bosses each having around 100,000 HP. So I figure kill all the old bosses first, then take out the big bad, using most of my items and losing a few units in the process. I finally start trying to kill the final boss. He's on top of a platform, so some units can't reach him. Once I find units that can, I find out he can one hit kill some of them with a counterattack. But I press on, taking him below 80,000 HP. Then this mother fucker pulls the biggest bullshit move and respawns some of the bosses I just killed, at which point I'm out of items, low on HP, and half my party is dead. Suffice it to say I lost.

This just completely discouraged me from beating the game. I don't want to touch it again. It's complete bullshit how hard the game decided to get right at the end. Nothing kills a game for me more than when something like this happens right at the end.

Is it just me or does this whole thing sound like a repeat of the great cub exodus of 2010?

I really hate winter. I hate snow. I hate cold. And most of all, I hate that my car decided to have transmission problems now, when it's cold as fuck and I'd prefer not to walk everywhere. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

So, I finally have a 3DS, and I decided on the special 3DS XL released with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. If anyone wants to be friends, my friend code is 0920-1009-2823. For those with Pokemon X and Y, I give out Electric-type Pokemon in the Friend Safari, though until I get a copy of X, I only give out Dedenne and Helioptile.

Not even kidding. $1111 raffle over at the link. Go there. Do it.

So, since YouTube is being a dick and tried forcing me to attach my old YouTube account to a Google+ for my Gmail account that was never supposed to be attached to my YouTube in the first place, I made a whole new channel and deleted the old one. Most of the old videos were crap anyway, so no big loss.

Expect video game playthroughs and talk of furry related stuff to be posted on a sporadic (as in a whenever I feel like it) basis.

Where are you staying?
Super 8 up the street from the main hotel.

What day are you getting there?
Hopefully Thursday afternoon/evening.

Who will you be rooming with?
 djkyota and 4 others whose FAs I don't know.

Who will you hang out with during the convention?
I mostly stick to my group, but might branch out. It all depends.

Are there any panels you might be attending?
I'll see what catches my attention.

Are you attending any stage or public performances?
Apart from the Masquerade I'll see if The Furry Punk Rock Massacre is there again.

How old are you?
22

How tall are you?
5'8"

Are you taken? Are you looking for a mate?
I have someone in mind.

Can I talk to you?
If you can tolerate my weird/semi-obscure interests and long awkward pauses in between sentences, then sure.

Can I touch you?
I guess. Just don't touch my face. I swear if you touch my face I'll bust your nose.

How can I find you?
I'll likely be out front smoking more than a few times. If you see a guy in a trench coat, Tripp pants/shorts/a kilt, boots, and with glasses, gauged ears, a collar with a bell on it, and a
chin strip beard, you probably found me.

Can I visit your room?
Depends whether or not the roommates care.

Can I buy you drinks?
I hate gin with a passion for fashion, but other than that I have no problems with people getting me liquored up.

Can I give you stuff?
Go for it. I'm easy to please.

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Depends on my mood and where we are.

What about more intimate stuff?
Depends, but probably not.

What’s your goal for the con this year?
See friends I rarely see outside the con and have a good time.

Are you nice?
Generally, yes, unless you catch me in a shitty mood.

How long are you going?
Until Monday.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Zeb or 91 works.

Where will you be most of the time during the days?
Wandering when I'm not outside having a smoke.

What/where will you be eating?
Wherever is cheap and tasty.

Can I come with you for food/fun etc?
Sure, but you're paying for your own food.

Can I take your picture?
I guess so, but I don't think I'm all that photogenic.

So I made  djkyota watch the Amy's Baking Company episode of Kitchen Nightmares. If you've been on Facebook at all you may have heard about it. If not, Google it and/or watch the episode on YouTube. Here are our texts as we watched it. Edited for spelling and grammar.

Kyota: OMG. 3 minutes in and I already hate them.
Zeb: It gets worse.
Kyota: But I already hate them. D:
Zeb: You'll hate them more by the end.
Kyota: I hate them so much right now. They just shoved the guy who waited for a pizza and since he was waiting the one guy started screaming at him.
Kyota: OMG. I hate them so much.
Zeb: It gets worse. I'm dead serious.
Kyota: Babe, I think I can't continue. It's too crazy.
Zeb: O.o It broke you...
Kyota: Yeah. 9 minutes into the episode.
Zeb: It gets worse. I'm dead serious.
Kyota: Oh god... cat bodies...
Kyota: HE'S TAKING THE TIPS FOR HIMSELF!?!?!?! OMG WHAT A FUCKING CREEP!!!!
Zeb: Oh, just wait.
Kyota: I hate him so much right now.
Zeb: I'm sorry I told you to watch this.
Kyota: You didn't. Like I said I heard about it on Facebook. It's intriguing.
Zeb: You'll be completely broken by the end.
Kyota: Merf.
Kyota: She's a cold, heartless bitch.
Zeb: She's delusional and insane.
Kyota: XD
Kyota: It's making me like Chef Ramsay. A lot.
Zeb: He's awesome and I'm sad he had to deal with ungrateful assholes like her.
Kyota: Me too.
Zeb: If I ever open a restaurant. and end up on this show I'll never treat Chef Ramsay like that.
Kyota: I know. Because you're a human being and you show respect to people higher up than you. These people are crazy and delusional.
Kyota: OMG. She fired a girl because she was asking about where the food was going. D:
Zeb: I know. Wait until Ramsay interviews former employees.
Kyota: He's doing that now. :3
Kyota: HE MADE HIM WASH HIS UGLY FUCKING CAR?!?!
Kyota: What a CREEP!!!
Zeb: Buckle your seatbelt.
Kyota: XD I hate these guys.
Zeb: It should be almost over.
Kyota: Yup.

I enjoyed it, generally. I liked that they explained how Heather/Sharon got out of the Otherworld and the reason for the name changes. Didn't really mind the changes in what happened to a few characters (apart from Vincent, who became 18 and Heather's love interest) as for the most part they stayed the same characters. It generally followed the source material, which made me happy, unlike the Resident Evil movies, which take names and creatures from the games, do whatever makes the Mary Sue played by Milla Jovovich look like a badass, and forget their own continuity. It had the creepy atmosphere and some genuinely disturbing moments, and the Otherworld transitions were awesome. There are some things that were obviously meant for 3D, since it was a 3D movie, but they're few and far between. My problem comes from the couple action scenes and how Pyramid Head was treated. I think it's a combination of a misunderstanding of the source material and trying to attract the crowd who likes the Resident Evil movies. While there's not many action scenes in the movie, I don't think they fit. Going back to Resident Evil, the one good thing I can say is the action scenes are good when they don't do slow motion bullshit. Those movies can do action, because the source material had more combat focus than Silent Hill, and since Resident Evil 4 they've shifted from survival horror to generic action. Silent Hill, however, is more like a David Lynch movie, more slow paced and full of symbolism and weird, disturbing things. Throwing in Pyramid Head fighting the thing that kidnapped Harry (killed in the game) is out of place. Speaking of Pyramid Head, he still has no substance. He's referred to as Alessa's executioner, who attacks residents of Silent Hill as punishment for burning Alessa. Then there's Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, who is the embodiment of James' guilt and desire to be punished for killing his wife. He doesn't actively fuck with anyone or anything; he's just kind of there, and he beats up a monster at the end. I must say, though, I enjoyed it and would watch it again.

Oh my god Iron Sky. I disagree with everyone who calls it "so bad it's good" because it's actually good. The plot is there are Nazis on the moon who have been hiding there since 1945 that come back to Earth in 2018 to try to take over. Sounds stupid, but it's a comedy that's actually funny. The president is a Sarah Palin joke (which is always funny). The references to other movies involving Nazis (Dr. Strangelove, The Dictator, and Downfall) are funny. The Nazis inject a black guy with stuff to make him white, and it's about as ridiculous as you can imagine. The Nazis attack Earth with giant space zeppelins full of UFOs. For a movie with a €7,000,000 budget the special effects are amazing. You just have to see it. It's amazing.

Don't know what Fighting Street is? It's the TurboGrafx-16 port of Street Fighter 1 and it sucks. First of all, there's 2 playable characters: Ryu in 1 player and Ken if you're player 2 in 2 player. Everyone else (Joe, Mike, Retsu, Geki, Lee, Gen, Eagle, Birdie, Adon, and Sagat) fights you in 1 player. The controls are absolute shit. In this version, since the TG-16 only has 2 buttons, pressing the buttons does a weak attack and holding the buttons does a strong attack. The special attacks work whenever the fuck they want. The timing must be extremely specific or something. When I played I ended up using the classic controller, since x and y are basically turbo buttons, held x or y in, and rotated the joystick like a maniac, hoping to pull off a special attack. This strategy got me a few wins, but specials are so finicky it didn't last long. Only managed to beat 3 characters at most before getting game over, due to the controls and the fact that the opponents either spammed long range specials or were strong enough to kill me in 3 hits. The only redeeming qualities of this game are the hilariously bad graphics and Engrish voice acting (every voice is done by 1 guy with a thick Southeast Asian accent). I wasted $8 on this pile of shit. Don't be a fucking moron like me and waste your time and money.

I have some thoughts on the HD conversion and the 3D effects they added to Jurassic Park 3D. I didn't like the HD conversion very much. Roughly a month ago I watched the Blu-Ray edition of Star Wars Episode IVwith my dad on his giant TV. It looked really old compared to watching it on DVD and the special edition CGI bullshit Lucas added in the 90's really stood out. I felt kind of similar about Jurassic Park 3D, though not as bad since this is when CGI was used to compliment and enhance practical special effects. As for the 3D effects, it's not like The Last Airbender where you can't see shit because of the conversion, but I had some problems with it. I kept noticing stuff in the foreground being really blurry. There were points (like when Grant, Lex, and Tim see the brontosaurs/brachiosaurs/whatevers while they're in the tree) where the 3D made it really obvious when a scene used a green screen. At other points when there's lens flare or a drop of water hits the camera it really sticks out because of the 3D. It's still the great movie from my childhood, but the aspiring filmmaker in me can't ignore these things.

So I've been trying to play some crappy Sega Genesis games, namely the Genesis version of Action 52 and a god awful Chinese pirated version of Super Mario Bros. called Super Mario 2. I have one problem, however. Every Genesis emulator I've tried is a piece of shit that doesn't fucking work. I've tried Kega Fusion and all 60 versions of Gens with every god damn configuration possible and they either refused to load the rom (Kega Fusion) or flat out crashed (every version of Gens). This never happens to me with NES or SNES emulators, why the fuck does it happen with Genesis emulators? How fucking hard is it to emulate a 24 year old console? The SNES is only 3 years younger and NES is 3 years older and they work fine. Why the fuck don't Genesis emulators work fine? Did someone misplace a decimal point somewhere making the emulator? Is the fucking blast processing too much for my computer to handle? Fuck Genesis emulators because they don't fucking work.
