Chikage~ ;0;

Chikage, my laptop, has had a really annoying issue where its fan would rattle like mad whenever it gets too hot. This has been going on since around March, probably earlier.

So I took it back to Best Buy back in July, since I have a two-year warranty on it... and found out that they'd have to send it into the shop and I'd probably lose all my saved whatevers.

Now, the only things I actually keep on Chikage are games and random episodes of whatever that I've downloaded and have yet to watch, but yeah. It took forever for me to back all my shit up, and then I kept dicking around for months since the prospect of not having a laptop for a prolonged period of time is kind of ugh to think of.

But yesterday, I finally got around to taking it back to the store... and the fan would not fucking rattle, despite having done that shit right before I left the house.

So yeah, bullshit. And the guy at the store said that they'd end up charging me $30 if they couldn't reproduce it themselves so bah.

So I left the damned thing on overnight, and then ran Youyou Kengeki Musou at full specs since that is a CPU-killer... and yay.

Went into the store, the guy at the counter was a total bro and gave me no hassle at all, and now I am out a laptop for at least two weeks.

I MISS YOU ALREADY, CHIKAGE. ;0;

Gensou Shoujo Taisen Kou CLEAR

I cleared Marisa's route in Gensou Shoujo Taisen yesterday.

Friend of mine decided to download it because he is a dirty pirate and so that shamed me into clearing the last four stages, on account of me having owned this game since June and yeah.

All spellcards captured, all wifepoints GET.

Last stage was Flandre, which took me two fucking hours to complete.

Pictures...

Here's my team, sorted by level. Marisa is seven kills from making Ace. Next closest is Nitori somehow, and then Alice. (though this is not reflected in their levels)


Aaand here are Marisa's stats. Highest of any of my characters, and she's also the only character I have who learned Nekketsu. Combined with Master Spark, the strongest attack in base damage for any allied unit, I was able to finish off Flandre with like 12000 damage worth of overkill.


And now I get to wait until Spring for You to come out, as it got delayed again. Whee.

Mystery package

A few weeks ago on IRC:



And then on Monday, this came in the mail. By EMS, even.

Nice job on the names there.


And the contents...



iM@S Animation Master 03
Sora no Kiseki FC
Revopliers
Katekyo Hitman Reborn can badges
Muv-Luv Alternative book thingy
2011-2012 calendar
Hello Kitty light-up mascot thing (wut)
Chibi Maruko-chan cellphone strap (seriously, wut)


But yeah, now I have Animation Master 03 and Sora no Kiseki FC. Yay interwebs friends and all that.

Marisa GET

So yesterday, my Pure Neemo Marisa doll finally came in.


Looks like the boxes for this series is will all be "generic Touhou box," the identifying stuff like the character name and parts list are all stickers that go onto it.


So I took her out of the box and fixed the ribbon on her braid (you have to do it yourself) and 魔理沙かわいいよ魔理沙


Parts list said "five types of hands," which I was totally fine with. But then I open the box and she has a total of ten different pairs of hands. Holy shit.


Azone's Pure Neemo body looks nice, but the poseability is pretty limited. The shoulders and hips only move front and back, which kind of limits the amount of dumb stuff I can do with her. :/

The Obitsu body looks to have a full range of articulation, but I don't care for the way the joints look... yay tradeoffs.

And then I got stupid:



DOUBLE MASTER SPARK



Marisa stole the precious thing



I'm totally going to use this as my avatar on fg-Site.


So yeah, after seeing how SUPER MEGA ULTRA CUTE Marisa was, I finally broke down and preordered Remilia. Shame that Reimu and Sakuya are kind of eh, but I suppose it's better on my wallet this way.

Kuttsukiboshi (part 1)

...so I finally got around to watching Kuttsukiboshi.

I first heard about it sometime last year, but it wasn't out yet and so I put it in the back of my mind... and then I stumbled across the official site again last week and after going ガチ百合ｷﾀｧｧｧ~　(ﾉ>ω<)ﾉ　　for a bit, I went about obtaining the first episode.

So... holy shit that was a lot dirtier than I was expecting. Still nice, though. And the end... GOD DAMN IT WHEN THE FUCK DOES THE SECOND PART COME OUT I NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS SHIT ENDS GAAAAAAAAH.

Just... goddamn. Cliffhangers are bad enough on their own, but they're especially AGH-inducing in indie projects like this which have a tendency to not get completed. >_<

But once the second part is released (knock on wood), I will buy that shit right the fuck away, no question.

Even if it ends badly.

Please don't end badly. ;0;


On another note, Mingos played Kiiko in this... she's been in quite a bit of yuri stuff lately. Not that I'm complaining, though.

Kind of a shame that they didn't have her do the ED theme since, you know, MINGOS.

But meh, it was probably budget stuff or whatever.
