To tell the truth, not a whole lot.
Mostly my summer consisted of reading, playing video games, watching anime, and cross country conditioning. Biggest exception was my one week at a summer honors program at ISU (graphic design, specifically). That was pretty fun. I got to play around with photoshop quite a bit, and now I really want it on my own comp.
And then, last week, school started. I'm a senior this year, which means that on top of homework and all that, I also have to start seriou
So anyways, summer's coming up. With summer comes a significant amount of free time. I already have some ideas for filling that free time, however, I know that at least part of it will be spent watching things on a screen.
So I'm accepting suggestions for my list of anime to watch over the summer.
List as of this writing: Gundam Wing Foolie Coolie
Already watched: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Elfen Lied The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Gundam Seed Gundam Seed Destiny Gundam 00
I'm also l
It's true! I can't believe it, either! But the evidence is there...
Wealthy Private Organization: In 00, it's Celestial Being. In Thunderbirds, it's International Rescue
Powerful machines utilizing secret technology: 00=Gundams, Thunderbirds=the Thunderbirds
Heiress lady with a manservant who serves in a support manner: 00, it's Wang Liu Mei and Hong Long, Thunderbirds, it's Lady Penelope and Parker.
Organization attempts to better the world in a vigilante manner: Celestial Being is
One of the best lines from Thunderbirds. No, not the crummy movie from a few years back. I'm talking 'bout the old-school marionette TV series.
Anyways, MechPunk has just been launched. If you are a fan of RPGs, mecha, sci-fi, city-states, and/or stories that present multiple points of view, I suggest you check it out. [/shamelessplug]
First, I started Mass Effect, which I hereby dub one of the greatest games ever developed.
Second, Dad and I both got Ray Guns in Nazi Zombies, and made it to our highest of Level Fifteen.
In all, an awesome evening, gaming-wise.

So I could use some tips or something for what to do for a body for a mech using those arms. And I'm trying to make the mech one that can hold a minifigure inside.
Gundam Seed has to have one of the best TV soundtracks out there. A few of my favorites:
Justice and Freedom
Fly! Freedom
Battle Against Dominion
Countdown
Prophecy of the End
'sup. I just found an ancient pack of Tic-Tacs. They look like they've gone bad or something....I didn't think it was even possible for them to go bad. Anyways, my family got an Xbox last week, and my uncle loaned me a bunch of games.
My impressions so far:
CoD4: Only done multiplayer so far. Fun maps.
The Force Unleashed: A little godmoddy, but its fun to just run into a squad of stormtroopers and just slice and dice through 'em. Brings back memories of Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast.
That thrice-cursed lock-on system that guides your movements around the enemy mobile suits.
I also hate how the controls are unresponsive.
So far, my overall opinion is that this game could be a heckuva lot better than it is, mostly because of the aforementioned problems.

GO GO OISHI MAN!
Now that I have that off my chest, allow me to say that Higurashi has the most incredible ending ever. Simply beautiful. *wipes tear from eye*
Also, new favorite song is REM's Imitation of Life.
So anyways, I just learned something today in Art Club.
Apparently, around Valentines Day, the Art Club hands out little questionnaires during lunch. People fill out these questionnaires and hand then back. Then we (Art Club members) play matchmaker, basing our suggestions on the results of the quiz.
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.
Oh, and we also sell little heart-themed posters.
