The ramblings of a bearded crazy person

Spring is Nowhere

Yuyuko’s Theme – Border of Life

It’s been the coldest winter I’ve had in a while, with temperatures far below what they should be. I blame Yuyuko.

Yuyuko is a really interesting character. To quote cjn1414118 from YouTube: (People who leave comments on YouTube that are actually fun and informative? What is this?)

I find it weird that the plot of PCB can be viewed as so deep and so childish at the same time. I mean, Yuyuko is the princess of the dead who is trying to steal all of spring from Gensokyo, leaving them in eternal winter. She does this to revive the dangerous Youkai tree in the Netherworld, thant would, once revived, possibly destroy everything in sight.

…But her motive is still pretty much: “Ooooooh, what does THIS button do!?”

When I first heard it, I didn’t think much of Yuyuko’s theme. But then I started to realize how bloody epic it sounds. A few remixes after the break. Read More

In the wake of last week’s disaster, Sippotan, the person who normally does the WVR, is alright, but taking a break. So Iori took the reins this week, with Sippotan’s approval.

Beware the Ides of March

A Dramatic Reading of Julius Caesar

It’s March 15th. So obviously, I need to post a rendition of Shakespear’s famous play.

Left Loosey & SPUF – All I Want to Do

I was snickering through most of it, but I finally completely lost it at the drum solo.

This came out a year ago, and I just found it now. Maybe I should visit the SPUF more… Perhaps they’re not all gibbering monkeys over there. (You know who you are.)

Quake

Nine Inch Nails – Quake – Main Theme

You know, I am ashamed to say that I have never played a single Quake game. Not even once. One of the great foundations that first person shooters stand on today, and I haven’t played it.

Well, I spent last year playing some games that I’ve missed. Maybe I’ll get Quake this year…

(The soundtrack of Quake 1 was written by the same guy who did the song last week.)
