10 Annoying Things About "Hardcore" Gamers

25 Annoying Things About Non-Gamers | GamesRadar

1. They make lists like the one's above that only really consider FPS fans as gamers
2. They call visual novels "moonspeak porn games"
3. They think porn in games is "perverted"
3. They don't want to play VNs without porn cause those are "boring"
4. They bother you when your playing Ever 17 to ask about "those butt plugs" (the ear phones from the prologue)
5. They enjoy anime based on VNs but would never play "those awful date sims"
6. They think its OK to kill hookers in GTA but good forbid you want to play Casual Romance Club, you pedophile/sicko.
7.They make documentaries about how gamers don't fit stereotypes and only interview "professional" Super Smash Bro players and Halo fans.
8. They buy Rock Band 2 for 189.99 but ridicule you importing Higurashi.
9. They don't think the DS is a real platform
10. They don't understand why your 1/8th PVC statue by Kotobunkiya is more than their Master Chief action figure.

Kanon Costume is Done!

Kanon Costume Quick Shot
Originally uploaded by kis_kat

Well I finished my Kanon costume just in time for Halloween! I did the 2nd year shawl because I like the blue better. I might get a Mai wig sometime. the collar didn't come out how I wanted it to but I am quite happy with the shawl because I used a knit, so it feels like something that would actually be in a winter uniform.:D

I also added a pocket to the right side panel's back seam. I can't stand clothes with no pockets.

I am pretty happy with this costume. Sorry about the low image quality, I'm using an iSight (and holding the mouse to use it lol) and Aki will probably take some better ones later.

UPDATE: Oh, and DokiMajo 2 came today. The puchi nendoroids are very cute but hard to assemble. The special CD is mac-compatible also :D

New computer, witch touching, and Erin

Well, I am back from my excursion to Oregon. We of course went to the Portland area Kinokuniya Shoten where I picked up the first two volumes of "Erin's Challenge! I can speak Japanese" a NHK video series with textbooks for foreigners learning Japanese. I also grabbed Lucky Star GN 1.

When I came home I was greeted by a small package from eBay: Doki Doki Majyo Shinpan. This had to wait though because I had to head off to the FedEx depot to pick up my new MacBook Pro.

Yes, I am typing from it now.

Dokidoki Majo Shinpan! 2 DUO [First Print Limited Edition Box] on sale

Buy Dokidoki Majo Shinpan! 2 DUO [First Print Limited Edition Box] (Nintendo DS) - Order Now!

The aforementioned game is Play Asia's deal of the week. It's quite a good price at under 40$ + shipping.

This is the limited edition box that comes with:

• 2 petite nendoroid figures by GSC
• a student book of some sort
• a mascot charm set
• a special CD-ROM
• heat sensitive stripping card.
  
• The game (well duh)
  

I ordered this just a minute ago despite not having the first one yet (its in the mail). I actually have wanted this set for quite sometime and just despise buying things out of order. This sequel actually has a higher CERO rating than its out of print predecessor (likely due to the jiggly boobs) and would probably function as a fine stand alone introduction to the series.

Honestly, I would have preferred to spread out the purchases but weekly deals are timed -_-

Ordered new MacBook Pro and Doki Doki Majo Shinpan, box came from CDJapan

Well I ordered a new computer. The shiny new MacBook Pro high end 15' model with the processor upped to 2.8 Ghz.http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/ My totally awesome parent's are footing the bill for the majority of this amazing machine.

I also ordered Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! used from eBay for about 10 dollars + shipping. This is the infamous witch touching game. Play-Asia is having a special on the sequel by the way.

My SAL box from CDJapan came with my LB! long strap, it is indeed quite long unlike most other cell straps from the Japanese market, I can fit both hands through it comfortably. The cloth strap is decorated with the baseball chibis of all the main characters, girls on one side, boys on the other. It comes with a metal charm of the teams logo also.

I also ordered Re:Package, Hatsune Miku's first commercial album, all musical performance by livetune. I might have actually received the sold out first press as it came in a fancy hologrammed box with such kanji on the label. (First press bonus is a caramel box what ever that is) I will update this post when I listen to it so check back :3

UPDATE : Fun electronic-style music. Unlike many albums I actually like all of the songs. Recommended
