I went through The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and all I have is this blog post

Although it didn't have any sexy-jiggly boobs, it was a pretty good movie. Not that I'm suggesting movies need dangerous romances to be good, this is just an observation that I felt needed to be addressed. The last time I saw a movie with Shaolin monks was Cromartie High School so this one really raised the bar the martial arts actions. The training segment in the middle was right on the mark in raising spirits, but it was a bit bothersome how some of the chambers were only lightly touched upon. Another part that bothered me was the main character's super-human ability to survive, his leg was pretty bad by the time he got to the temple. My biggest issue was with the concluding fight. Even though the main character could summon an endless amount of strength and ability, he ended the fight with a headbutt to the groin, low blow indeed. The second biggest issues was the quality of the subtitles, I just don't understand. Listening to the Cantonese portions, a lot of the meaty details were cut out. Overall, its a good movie. Definitely for the fist-pumping action and not for anything else. If only there was a lead heroine, or not.

Enough about that, time to get dangerous. Welcome to the Danger Zone! How dangerous you ask? You could have died 5 times by now. Not dangerous enough for you? Are you sure that you're safe sitting where you are? A Turkish robot might barge in at this very moment! Look out, behind you, its a robot at the curtains! At least its not a giant transforming robot, or a platypus.
Ok, so your where you are probably isn't as dangerous as a space prison or Japan; unless you are in Japan, in which case I pity you. What with the Evangelion nonsense, death races and pulse-pounding cyberpunk noir. It might be better off to just simplify your life, maybe get something from the newest kiosk.
As for us radical dreamers, we gotta live life on the edge. Unless you're living super dimensionally, you're not doing it right.

Here's something I didn't draw. Looks good, huh? Enough of that, robot supplement.

BREAKARTS: Digital racing robots

So, the CosmicBreak 2 kickstarter hasn't been doing to well and I think the best outcome for the long run would be for the project to not reach their goal by the time this campaign ends. From my perspective it seems like whoever running the crowd funding campaign complete mishandled the execution and management of the kickstarter. If it gets funded during this project it would justify their decisions, but failing will prompt them to review the project and potentially revive it in a much better form. However, this is just a recap to followup the previous post so lets move onto the main topic. While doing my usual indie game crawl across the internet I found an article on the Japanese version of Playism for BREAKARTS , a racing game with battling giant robots. For people from my generation this is reminiscent of IGPX with a look similar to Armored Core. Back in the day, and actually a few weeks ago, IGPX aired on Toonami and as advertised it involved  giant skating robots that foug

Spur of the Moment

So, something strange occurred today. Actually, it was more unexpected than strange. I originally planned to finish my nanotechnology homework today, but I ended up distracting myself by focusing on a kickstarter. While my interest in kickstarter projects is nothing new, this is the only project I've written a 2.5K word essay about. ... I posted the essay over two posts within the comments section of the kickstarter since the character limit prevented it from being one post. ... I also emailed a link of the google doc version to the feedback system on the creator's official website. ... I've done strange things before, but I don't recall ever writing an analytic essay just because "I felt like it." Interest and passion are mysterious sentiments, the motivation they provide can result in uncharacteristic behavior. Like an initial domino in a Rube Goldberg device that ends with an atheist preaching of theology. If I see someone doing something that I agre

Its been a while since I last posted anything. Initially, I switched to the all link format since it was easier than thinking of what to say for each post, but circumstances have changed. From these changes, I have to act outside of my current routine in order to harvest enough links for a post. Although the link method doesn't require much thought on my part, it required a resource of links in order to work. However, simply typing my thoughts down during a post requires no resources to have been gathered, only that my mind is conscious. Since I've established my reason let's move on to the main point of today's post, C21. C21 is an MMORPG made by CyberStep and it is officially being translated into English for the first time. In general, you play as a robot and blow things up. Unlike other games of this nature, you have direct control over your character instead of the traditional mouse-click style of play. I have a bit of a history with C21 that goes all the wa
