WISE FWUM YO GWAVE!

[ghostdrive]

Ahahahaha, I've been waiting to use this subject line forever. Finally, a suitable post! (Its the infamous soundbite from Altered Beast for those who don't know.)

Sometime last year I went to one of the older cemeteries in Corpus to take photos of the awesome tombstones there, and only today did I remember that I never got the film developed. [dies] I am so forgetful. So off to CVS I went.

I realized belatedly that I should have responded 'yes' when they asked if I wanted my photos on CD since then I wouldn't have had to scan them myself. I am lazy. Anyway, here are some of the pictures.






This statue in particular was my favorite (which is probably obvious since she makes up half the photos). Such a beautiful face.









There should be another roll of film lying around with more grave photos. . . I just have to find it. XD

× Silhouettes of Ultraman monsters on Japanese electric transformer boxes. So awesome.

× Let's roll the time machine back to 1994 and check out some video game magazine ads from that year. Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks especially of the horror that is Shaq-fu.

× Sidestepping the Uncanny Valley With AI discusses the AI of non-playable characters/companions in video games, and what makes an NPC succeed or fail. Very interesting article, although I might be a little biased since the writer mentions Yorda and Agro multiple times, both of whom are favorites of mine.

× A couple more interesting articles from Bitmob: Game Design: Save Systems and Defending Imagination: The Silent Protagonist.

× These amazing photos show a man who paints himself like his surroundings thus rendering himself nearly invisible. So creative! It took me the longest to find him in the bulldozer photo. (Found via mklutz.)

× Greatest fandom secret ever.

× Fanfic:Things Found, a Persona 4 Yosuke/Souji fic where Yosuke discovers a way to ruffle Souji's impeccable calm via the sensitive spot on his neck. I love the build up, how Yosuke get's more and more in his leader's space while simultaneously being all 'WHAT AM I DOING' to himself until, BAM, hot moment at Rise's dungeon. Love, love, love. One anon called Yosuke a giant pesterbug, and its oh so true. XD

× Want your own Master Sword? Have $375 to spare? Well, this post might interest you. I have to say, those shields are really impressive, especially Dark Link's.
