Touhou Dogfight

Touhou 3D DogFight SE Edition This is one of the ten best videos I have ever seen on YouTube. EVER. Not just on YouTube, it’s one of the most epic videos IN EXISTENCE. “OF ALL TIME!” If you’re not familiar with Touhou, you probably won’t understand all the moves they make. In that case, you […]

Best of WVR #120

Imitation This is a pretty good VocaRock song.

Haibane Renmei

Haibane Renmei came highly recommended from the same person as one of the two guys through which I found out about Sugar, all those years ago. (Does one and a half years entitle me to use that phrase?) And I do see similarities between the two. Neither one is a grand tale of heroes and […]

Meet the Yelling Engineer

Meet the Yelling Engineer! THE ENGINEER SOLVES PRACTICAL PROBLEMS!

Best of WVR #119

Daughter of White In stark contrast to last week’s less than mind-blowing performance, this week I thought I would have a lot of trouble deciding what song to pick. I had downloaded quite a few great songs already, when I finally came to this week’s top song. Instantly, I knew I had a winner. This […]

5 Centimeters Per Second

5 Centimeters Per Second is story about how the passage of time can cause people to drift farther and farther apart. Takaki Tono and Akari Shinohara start off as elementary schoolers who grow to really like each other. But at the end of their final elementary year, they have to move away from each other. […]

Walking on Air

Walking on Air This video has nothing to do with last week’s anime. This video contains Heavies flying through the air. This video is awesome. Last night, I was playing TF2, and the server emptied out except for me and one other guy. So we tried this, and had a lot of fun. Anesthetize, if […]

Best of WVR #118

Whammy Anarchy This week wasn’t a very strong one. I only liked two new songs in this week’s ranking. I either didn’t like the other ones, or they had been featured in previous weeks. Oh well. Incidentally, Unfragment (#5 last week) was the top song this week.

Air

For New Year’s, I stayed up watching Air until midnight. Air was the last of the “Key Three”, three animes based on visual novels by Key Visual Arts. Kanon and Clannad were the other two. The story is about Yukito Kunisaki, who travels around doing a neat puppet show, and lives off of the generosity […]

Breaking News

Shattered Horizon “Breaking News” Uh oh. That can’t be good. This video really makes me wish that Shattered Horizon had an epic singleplayer story campaign. It’s got the potential there. The game is set 40 years in the future, and man is mining material from the Moon. However, a disastrous mining accident (pictured above) blew […]
