Root Double

So um, I know I don’t post stuff a lot on here, but there’s this kickstarter that I’m actually really curious about and backed because the people making it did visual novels like Ever17 or worked on games like Bravely Second.

You have to admit that a resume of that caliber is enticing. Anyway, the game is called Root Double. Looks pretty interesting, I think. I’ve been looking around to see if anyone has any opinion on this game, and it LOOKS like it has positive reviews.

I’m just going to take a stab in the dark and see how this ends up. If anyone’s curious about their kickstarter, here’s the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproject/root-double-before-crime-after-days-xtend-edition/comments

So unless people haven’t figured it out, Aksys more than likely is going to make a big announcement at Anime Expo taking place July 2nd weekend. Thousands of people, myself included, are really hoping it’s a ZE3 production announcement or at least a Kickstarter like for Shenmue 3 in E3. 

I mean, sure even though Spike Chunsoft technically owns the rights to the name that doesn’t mean Uchikoshi cannot rename it, right? I think so?

Here’s hoping! We have a week and three days remaining! :D!

Thrilling, fast-paced, thought-provoking dialog of Pokemon, the Animated Series.

This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.

favorite things about this

literally all the brass starts to get the hang of it and then the crescendos happen and everyone is like FUCK FUCK FUCK??? FUCK. JUST. BLOW RLY HARD.

the strings are lazy but also the same. like u can tell a lot of the ppl w/ the stringed instruments may already basically know how to play stringed instruments. like there’s definitely a section at the beginning where you hear a good portion going “oh yeah this is like. a smaller/bigger version of what i do.”

all you hear of any woodwinds is just “pffffttt??? pFFFTTTT???? PFFFFFTTTT I SAID PFFFFTTTT!!!!!” bc woodwinds are fucking HARD and you hear after like the first crescendo half of them just give up. they give up. they’re done. fuck this it tastes weird and my lips hurt.

that trumpet. that person is fucking TRYING man they fucking GOT this. they may not have figured out notes but they figured out LOUD and they GOT this.

So...comics? O,o

So yeah, I’ve always wanted to draw comics. Ever since I started reading manga, I’ve wanted to. Whomp, VGcats, Girl Genius, Carciphona...I want to be like all those amazing people who draw comics day in and day out. 

But as you can see, I simply suck at drawing. But everyone had their start somewhere, right? So I can’t just...sit here and do nothing. D:

I want to do it. =[

Hetalia

I’m slightly unnerved by the wikipedia about Italy being a cowardly character who apparently “relies on Germany to resolve issues.”. :| I don’t think the author of Hetalia knows anything about the history of Italians and how much progression they’ve made to society in terms of art, engineering, science, and facets of life. 

Yes, I’m Italian. I thought that was obvious?

No, I haven’t read or seen Hetalia. I’ve seen too many pictures on tumblr to ignore it, though. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. I’m just going off the wiki.

Part 2 of 2 of the second comic centering around exploration. Miriam has been wandering Gebel’s castle with no hope in sight. Running out of ideas and stamina, she happens upon a mysterious portal...

And of course, you see what happens. XD

Exclamation: “WHY AM I BACK OUTSIDE?!”

[original-darkeiko]

So! My next comic for the Exploration achievement for Bloodstained! =] Sorry, I can’t get a good picture of it. I tried to get a full picture but it ends up turning out so blurry so I did my best! ;A;

If you can’t read the bubbles, the dialogue is as follows.

Top Bubble: “This place stretches forever. I’ve been wandering for hours.” (-Pretty sure I passed that torch already.)

Left bubble: (-Huh?) “What’s this? A portal? Where does it lead?”

Right bubble: “Do I even have a choice? I’ve been hitting dead end after dead end.

...Worth a shot, I suppose.”

Part 1 of 2

Shipping XD

Okay, so...I’m reading this webcomic called ReLife and it’s pretty good, but holy flip the comments below it are hilarious. XD Some people are shipping the MC with some of the main women, some even calling it a harem, and then...a plot twist shows up and here are the comments.

“Ship is still sailing?” - C

“Needs to go to port for repairs.” - R

“Damage control is active...but apparently, no signs that the ship would continue going...requesting for evac...I repeat! Requesting for evac!” - E

“NEVER. As the captain of this ship I shall die in it. I still have hope. That look turned on the engineer on board and I believe he may be able to fix the problem. You may leave the ship, we called for help and other girl ship is helping those who want to evacuate. But I shall fix this ship or die in it.” - R

“No no no no no no...the ship sustained medium damage to the left side due to collision with the plot twist iceberg, but it could still set sail. MC has to go to the nearest port or harbor for optimal repairs.” - F

XD I love all this freaking shipping analogies. I laughed so hard.

Next comic

So I want to try my hand at making comics so I’m currently working on my next Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night submission that centers around ‘Exploration.’ 

Sure, my drawing skills aren’t like Shilin’s, but I can’t get better without trying, right?
