Sands of Destruction RPG

So, I don't know what this game is about, or anything. But it is an RPG (my favourite kind of Video Game), and the cover looks awesome.

Anybody know it and can tell me about it??

FanEXPO 2010

Greetings to fellow bloggers, passers-by and followers.
It's been a while since I'm posted anything, which is sad but I've not really had anything to say. (Aww, sorry that sounds mean.)

Anyway, this August I will be going to another anime convention. Of sorts.
So, FanEXPO is basically a GIANT convention downtown for "nerds", "geeks", and even a zillion "jocks" or so.

From "Star Wars" to the new "Assassin's Creed" video game to the "Bleach" anime, this convention has a little for everybody. And thankfully; I get the chance to go this year. Some of the guests are Vic Mignogna, Johnny Yong Bosch, and Peter Facinelli; who plays Doctor Carlisle Cullen in the "Twilight Saga" (And sorry gals, I'm not getting you autographs; spend your own 35 bucks to stand in a five hour line...).

Anyway, another neet star will be there; Chewie!!
Or for those non Star Wars nerds; Chewbacca. Peter Mayhew will be here as well; how cool !!!



As for my cosplay and shopping list (go, Dealer's Room!!).
I will be going as Horo from an amazing (and I highly recommend you watch it) anime called "Spice and Wolf".
At Anime North (some of my readers and friends may remember my excited rants on it) I bought wolf ears and a wolf tail (NOT REAL ONES) for this upcoming FanEXPO.
I knew I was going to cosplay Horo, and I'm sooo excited to do it finally =3

Shopping list wise, I know this is a very uncommon item for everyday life; but a Yaoi Paddle. Now please don't panic although the purpose is for me to hit your bottom with it, I won't.

....Yet.

Anyway, I hope to see you at FanEXPO if you go :D

For next time;

Dreamwidth

Hello Everybody, it's been a while hasn't it?? :(

Anyway, today is just a quick update to let you all know about a cool site called "Dreamwidth". It's sort of like a lower-key version of Facebook, BUT you have to be invited by a friend by one of their special codes.

Dreamwidth is an online journal service based on LiveJournal. It is a code fork of the original service, set up by ex-LiveJournal staff Denise Paolucci and Mark Smith.
For the most part, features are similar to those of LiveJournal: users have journals, where they may post entries, each of which has a webpage of its own, and on which other users may comment. Dreamwidth also provides shared or group journals called "communities".




If you have Dreamwidth, you can find me here; zololuveru23


For next time, Tomo <3

Comments [If you visit often, please read]

Hello all.
Because I am currently having a stupidly tough time with life right now, I've turned comments off on all of my blogs except for this one.

This is no means to say that I have the hardest life in the world, however I have to deal with a very recent and painful parental separation, friends treating me like a two-year-old or insulting me daily with cruel words, teachers up my ass about EVERYTHING they can book me for, and a very severe depression that is seemingly getting worse.

So yeah, I hope you can understand.

And if you don't, another reason is the hurtful hate comments I get on my other blogs.

So please get off my back on my other blogs and make my life just a smedge easier, please??

If you have any problem with this comment privilege removal or inconvenience, please contact me at

Thank you.

Roliana (Let's call it a Tutorial) (BlogPost#20)

Holy geez, four blog posts in twelve hours, and that includes eight hours of sleep and another three of no computer time O.o

Anyway, today's blog post is about an amazing website callllllllllllllllled;


Roliana :D

This website is amazing, and has helped me make so many new friends, as well as share my art, share information, and just over all have a good time.

What you do on Roliana is first, make an account. (If you're interested, Then Click HERE :))

You need first a username. So let's choose one, and enter it into that section. When I created my account, I used zololuveru23. So if you do make an account, add me as a friend =3

Next is the email adress that you will receive conformation emails at. This is important because if you give a false email, your conformation will go out into cyber spcae and you've done all the registration work for nothing.



Next you will see "Profile information". If you do not want to fill anything in, you don't have to. This is just an optional section that you can fill out if you really want to.

Now your preferences are very important. Make sure to click what you want and make sure you understand what it is asking you.



And now you are done and have an account on Roliana!
Go and make some friends, I'm sure you're going to make lots of fun, yes?

Facebook Virus!!! (BlogPost#19)

A computer security company on Tuesday warned Facebook users against clicking on a link claiming to be the "sexiest video ever" which is actually a trap designed to infect computers.

The firm, Sophos, said that thousands of users have been hit by the malicious post, which appears to come from a friend's Facebook account.

The posting reads: "This is without doubt the sexiest video ever!" and is accompanied by what seems to be a movie thumbnail of a woman wearing a short skirt on an exercise bike.

Sophos warned Facebook clients against clicking on the thumbnail, which does not play the video but takes users to a page telling them they do not have the correct software installed.

It then tricks users into installing adware, a software package that automatically plays, displays or downloads advertisements to their computer.

"You may want to watch a sexy video, but you're more likely to end up being plagued by pop-up advertising," said Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at Sophos.

"Not only is adware being installed in your computer, but the rogue Facebook application is posting the same message to all of your friends' accounts," he said.

"It's no surprise that your friends might click to watch the movie when it looks to all intents and purposes that you are the person who has sent it to them."

Cluley advised those who had been affected by this attack to scan their computers with anti-virus software, change their passwords, review their Facebook application settings and remove whatever was installed.

"Go Google It!" (BlogPost#18)

This blog post was inspired by my love of technology, romance and music. This post will talk about a song and then go on to talk about other songs sung by the artists and their "brothers" and "sisters".

The song that I will be showing you and talking about today is called "Go Google it, you moron" by people called "VOCALOIDS"

Definition of a VOCALOID:

Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody.

So there you have it!! :)

This song, 'Go Google it', is sung by two of my favourite VOCALOIDs, called Luka Megurine and Gackpoid. Gackpoid's program was voiced by Japanese singer and actor Gackt, and Luka's voice was sampled from Yū Asakawa, a Japanese voice actor.

Before I talk about the song, I'd first like to show it to you .



Isn't Luka so darn stubborn? :P
Hee hee, I love this video not only because of as mentioned, the two are my favourite Vocaloids but because of how cute the two are together.

Anyway, what really matters is how a computer program can sing THIS WELL.
And though I'll admit I've heard the Luka program sing Lady Ga Ga's 'Poker Face', at was SCARY bad. The Luka program is much more suited to sing Japanese than she is to sing English I find.




Gackpoid is a very annoying character I find in most sings but as a Samurai he never, ever gives up on anything. His singing program is better than Luka's in this song, however I have a feeling it is because there was so much work done with Gackt and Gackpoid that the Gackpoid program can sing so well.

However, at the rate our world's technology is increasing, I'm not entirely suprised, but in some songs I have to remind myself that the Vocaloids are still computers.



As I write this, I am listening to some other Vocaloid songs. I would like to share some of the amazing ones, but first I'll give their names quickly.

Meiko: Japanese female (November 5, 2004)
Kaito: Japanese male (February 17, 2006)
Hatsune Miku: Japanese female (August 31, 2007)
Kagamine Rin/Len: Japanese female and male respectively (December 27, 2007)
Megurine Luka: Japanese and English female (January 30, 2009)
Gackpoid: Japanese male (July 31, 2008)

My favourite song of the Vocaloids is called Dreaming Little Bird, and is a duet between Kaito and Gackpoid. Constantly, I must remind myself that these guys are a computer, and not real people (with the exception of Gackt) and shouldn't wish to one day meet them.

Another song I love; Cantarella. There are many different versions to this song such as Kaito and Miku and Gackpoid and Rin.

Kaito and Gackpoid have a lot of duets together, but a remix version of Gackpoid's Dancing Samurai is pretty good too.

My favourite song by Luka is Just Be Friends. Even though the song is sung by Luka, it is from a guy's point of view. I'm in particular favour of this song because of how freaking amazing it is.

Well I'll stop freaking out over Vocaloids and let you get on with your life.
For next time,
The Night Angel
