Plain Rice: You Need to be a Genius to Read This Blog

Blog "Readability Test", a viral application that tells you what your target audience is based on unknown factors. I did it to humor myself.



...Right. Fun things.

Game Rice: Mabinogi Closed Beta Teaser

http://mabinogi.nexon.net/

Closed Beta in 42 Days. It took 4 years, but the wait is finally over.
Trailer at link above. Alright~

MAD Rice: 1000% MASTERSPARKING!

This is absolutely amazing. This has probably gotten me ideas for the Another Dream literary component. If you're wondering what another dream is, go here. It's a fan made WESTERN touhou project. I do enjoy writing from time to time, so maybe a Yuyuko and Youmu based tale is in order.

MAD Rice: Nico Nico Saiko~

Nico Nico. Is. Awesome. I guess it's an anthem of sorts.

I'm never going to youtube for MADs again.

Pang Rice: Pangya With Voices AKA Kooh is Perfectly Casted

If you didn't know already, I am the biggest Kooh fan in the USA for the Pangya world; PC system and Super Swing Golf. Recently, news of the Japan client adding additional voices has struck major interest; they've never talked before, and by purchase of a certain clubset or won by lottery, you can have all your lovely ladies (Or handsome men, excluding Uncle Bob and shota Scout) voice their motions.

Frankly all I care about is Kooh and I don't give a damn about anyone else (Except Hana).

PANGYA! YOOOSH... GANBARUZOU!

I can't identify the others in this video, but I know that voice anywhere; Kugimiya Rie voices Kooh (Shana of Shakugan no Shana, Louise of Zero no Tsukaima) . COMPLETE MATCH. I can't think of anyone else besides Chiwa Saito taking up the task. A little Tsundere and strong pirate.



Here is a profile cut from a friend's web blog, what I consider to be one of the best Pangya resources in general: Sweatdrop's Zoints

Well, I've got much school stuff to do, but do leave a comment with your thoughts.

Ahh.... I am so very happy right now.

Melty Rice: New Version... Again!

So according to Arcadia there will be yet another Melty Blood rendition, Actress Again. This prominently features Roa as a playable character, Reisbyfe (Sion's Last Arc Drive Partner), the addition of a groove system, and a guard meter along with interface tweaks.

I personally think this is a bit ambitious. Having a guard crush capability in this game has to be insane; you will spend half the time blocking; no, nearly all the time blocking if you're on the defensive, as there are so many linkers. Also note that this game is solely based around correct poke mixups and techniques; if the guard crush is too low for higher level play expect a decline in balance.

Also noted that Kohaku or Hisui don't appear to have a solo option; there's only one window of them both together, which is somewhat dissapointing. If twins are carried over without movement tweaks the stuff-fu 214s of Hisui and the 214 Amber Missiles of Kohaku can be called nothing short of nerfing for advanced players of the solo versions.

I also note that Reisbyfe seems to have a giant shield, which worries me due to clash frame possibilities (Can you hear that? That's Ciel dashing at you).

Well, all will be tested when a demo of sorts comes out. I'm just happy Aoko got some charming art, and hope they don't do anything too extreme to her moveset.

Let's just hope it won't be Actress Again to Act Cadenza as Soul Calibur 3 did to Soul Calibur 2's legacy.

Oh, and just out of curiosity, if you're reading this message leave me a comment. I'd like to know exactly how much visitation I get, and can increase posting accordingly.

Ah, I turned 19 on October 21st. Huzzah o/

Ani Rice: Even More Animated Miku

I wouldn't call it a step up from the previous video, but more evenly level.

Seems like all I do nowadays is post Miku stuff when I have the time. I should probably get back into talking Pangya or New Season Anime these days...
