But I don’t back down from challenges.

There, look at that! My first post and not a single word about squids! Oh, wait…

My first test of the TF2 replay system.

I’ve decided I don’t really like Vocaloid music anymore, and so I’m going to dedicate Friday’s column to the latest and greatest pop music! And what better one to start with, than Rebecca Black’s song about Friday!

100+ characters. That’s a heck of a lot for a single game series, is it not? So who are my ten favorite? Click “read more” and find out.

Kero ⑨ Destiny

Suwako Moriya, She-Who-Likes-Frogs. I’d really like to have her hat. Aside from the aesthetic value, it also has good functionality. The wide brim would be very useful in keeping the Sun off your head, yeah?

Futatsu no Tsubasa

Marisa Kirisame, the Ordinary Magician. MASTER SPAAAAAAARK, da ze!

Blazing Heart

Fujiwara no Mokou, the Immortal Phoenix. She burns stuff. If you’ve ever played an online game with me, you know I like to burn stuff. Put two and two together here.

Oh, and Teruyo can go die in a fire. :)

Nowhere Girl

Hong Meiling, the Chinese Dragon. No, her name is not China, you goons! JAOOO~!

Border of Death

Yukari Yakumo, Manipulator of Boundaries. Yukari is the hax-iest person in Gensokyo. Sure, Sakuya is pretty hax too, but do any of her attacks involve summoning a TRAIN to ram into you? I thought not.

Unyutei

Utsuho Reiuji, the Nuclear Raven. I like Okuu, because… Heck, who DOESN’T like nuclear reactors? Okuu is also somewhat of a birdbrain. “Unyu?”

Fragrance of Oriental Sunflower

Yuka Kazami, Gensokyo’s Resident Sadist. Though very slow, she’s one of the most powerful people around. She could kick your butt on Stage 1 on Easy Mode if she wanted to.

Club Ibuki in Break All

Suika Ibuki, the Little Drunken Oni. Despite her appearance, she is also one of the strongest people you’ll ever meet. And no one likes a good party more than her.

Rampaging Flandre

Flandre Scarlet, the Insane Vampire Girl. Her sister needed charisma to become popular. She’s popular cuz she’s naturally cute.

And finally, my favorite Touhou character of all:

Chirumiru Cirno

Cirno, the Lovable ⑨. THE STRONGEST. I don’t think she’s really as much of an idiot as she appears. I like to think that she’s like… Say… Calvin. Usually an idiot, but genius in odd places.

So… Yeah. That’s the end of 2010. Now, on to 2011! With energy!

Now, what am I going to do next New Years…

These guys promote anti-hempatism on the airwaves.

:D

Obvious joke that basically wrote itself.

This is the first, and only time I break my self-imposed rule of not posting any videos that contain coarse language. Nevertheless, I cannot possibly pass up this video.

On June 23, a video called “THE GRIND” appeared on YouTube, and contained footage of a mysterious thing known as “Catageddon”. What happened? What could have caused such a disaster? A team of sleuths at the Facepunch forums decided to get to the bottom of it. They acquired the map shown in the video from one of the guys who was in it, and set about trying to figure out what caused the Catpocalypse.

After three hours of investigating every corner of the map, the team succeeded in finding the cause. But at what price…?

At 1:15 in the linked video, it shows a certain member of the research team. I want you to take a good look at his name. And remember it.

And finally, I say this as a warning to anyone trying to follow in their footsteps…

DO NOT ANGER THE DEATH KITTY. IT WILL ONLY END IN PAIN.

EDIT 6/24 @ 4:15PM: A second video of the team’s findings has appeared.

HUDDA HUDDA HUH!
