Catches tigers in red weather.

I have such a backlog of photos to post here. Mainly just random ones that have been sitting on my hard-drive. Let's start with some of the merch I bought at A-Kon!



( +26 more pics. )

Links.
( omg remind me not to go too long again without posting link recs. It feels like I took forever coding this part. )

Ahhhh, this entry took forever to put together.

Links.

× This Bayonetta/Okami crossover fanart is cute.

× I pretty much turn into an awkward penguin anytime someone starts crying in front of me, so this article on how to deal with public weeper is pretty interesting. I think that, on the very rare chance that I ever start crying in public, I'd like it if at least someone gave me tissues or water or whatever. I don't think I'd be the type who'd like to be left alone.

× Amazing Ganondorf cosplay is amazing. I'm so fascinated by how perfect the hair is! Like, I want to touch it.

× Video: Rap using 151 Pokemon as sexual innuendo. Yeah...

× Space Invaders coffee table is really cool looking. I like it.

× Video: time-lapse of the 1:1 Gundam erected in Shizuoka. The visitors seem to scurry about like worker ants, its pretty amazing. Is there video of the Gundam being assembled? I'd love to see that.

× Awesome Samus fanart. Hey, did you know Samus was born on August 6, 1986? I'm older than she is!

/random use of this gif
Anyway, check out Ryo Iwai's website (or his gallery on DA) for even more art.

× Found via the awesome mklutz:

→ Video: How big cats act on catnip. My life, it is complete.
→ Ten Weirdest Sharks Ever is so interesting! Check out the video of the goblin shark--its jaw freaks me out!
→ In the near future there will be buses that can drive over cars. In this design from China "the idea is to make use of the space between regular-size cars and bridges, thus saving construction costs as well as minimizing congestion impact by allowing cars to drive underneath these jumbo buses". /copy-pasting since I'm failing at summarizing this myself

I'll posts pics of my cats or something later on. MUST STOP BEING SO LAZY.

Nasal drainage is awful. Such a funny aftertaste in my mouth. If only these allergies of mine would just go away.

Ahhhhhhh.

Aaaaaanyway, first week of the fall semester is almost over, I have Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box in my possession, all in all I'm feeling pretty content. So here, have links!

× Video: Mario Kart: The Movie

× Video: Hero of Time, a Legend of Zelda fanfilm. And because it is a fanfilm it is simultaneously terrible and awesome.

× I wandered into amei's journal a couple of days ago and discovered really cute fanart of Devil Summoner where the characters were in dog form--a "doggification" if you will. Then I wound up journal-skipping and ended up in Emlan's DA where I came across a whole bunch more doggifications, this time of Final Fantasy characters. No lie, they make me squeal with joy.

× Soda cases arranged in such a way that they create a Mario display.

× Kotaku feature: How to work in the Japanese gaming industry. Editor-in-chief Brian Ashcraft asks four Westerners their advice for working in Japan. Pretty interesting article.

× Two hilarious Persona 4 comics: Kanji's Happy Place and Kanji + Hermit

× If you thought the Katamari-themed wedding I linked to before was neat, check out these pictures from a Gundam wedding! It took place at the life-size Gundam in Odaiba.

× Very cool looking Space Invaders lamp shades.

× Video: Living with First-Person Shooter Disease

× Gundam statue carved from stone. Apparently its 4 meters tall and weighs 10 tons. Whoaaaaa.

× Two links found via mklutz: 25 unintentionally inappropriate statues in public places (ahahahahaha) and incredible decorated cupcakes!

× The lastest issue of Play features Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and whoa, check out that cover. Its like the modern equivalent of the ukiyo-e The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.

× Jack Frost beer mug! And two more goods from Atlus: Izanagi plushie and Jiraiya plushie. Cute. ♥

× What's going on in these games? A look at the unintentional dirtiness in video games. Well, some are unintentional, while others, like Custer's Revenge clearly aren't.
