we're finally notdotq anymore

The Darker than BLACK OVA was one of the largest let-downs of the year. It tried to be funny but was just way too creepy-Japanese. Oh, and *facepalms* @ the phlag. The epic fail of this episode of anime was so great that when I brought it up a couple weeks later, my brother, who had the misfortune of experiencing it with me, cringed.

“You weren’t supposed to remind me!” he protested.

I felt so bad, I apologized. And I meant it.

I’m going to kick this off with something unimaginative.

Code Geass Episode 15.

“I bought a house in Australia. But to go to Australia, we need to take a plane. And you won’t fit into carry-on, C2… so I’ll make you compact!” - Mao, Code Geass Episode 15

I know that macros of this have probably deluged /a/, but I watched this show unawares of its memeportance and I laughed my ass off at this set of lines so hard it wasn’t funny for very long. No but seriously, I’m surprised that “I’ll make you compact” didn’t become the new “I’ll turn you into junk.” Actually, maybe it did, and I am just blissfully unawares. In any event, epic lulz were epic as Mao’s dialogue ra/i/ded my chest and filled it with pain.

I think this is fairly self-explanatory…

The last time I talked about notdotq’s transformation was on October 9th, when I’d just put up a new front page for the site. It was a new face for my anime blogging business, and while at first it was just a quick joke, it is now a very permanent joke: it is here to stay.

Back in April, with a little help from Dr. Japes, I discovered Forumwarz. I completed Episode 1—the first part of the story—within a month or so, and then I began tapping my fingers. The tapping has ended. Episode 2 is here. I have not bought it yet—that is outside the scope of my current powers—but I intend to, and I have gone through the interlude cinematics.

And the Phoenix Wright knock-off minigame.

Didn’t something like this happen in the aniblogosphere recently?

internet games are scary—they hit so close to the mark sometimes

If you like things nice and Rule14′d, or if you like hacking and internet drama, or if you like cybering with old men who get turned on by phonographs, or if you like Phoenix Wright, then I suggest that thou getst thee to a Paypallery.

Seriously, it’s great fun.

And finally, to the shits who are thinking, “what? MONEY?! Where’s the free demo?”, you can still play Forumwarz Episode 1 for free. The Crotch Zombie fellows are good people, and their business model is more than fair.

So it turns out that this Sixten guy—creator of Miao diary, lover of perverse things—is not only lolicon and gay (yes, at the same time, somehow, see: wants to j-j-j-jam it into Jason), but he is also a fairly high-level troll. » Continue reading this…

This may be a month late. This may be 54 chapters late. But better late than never. Who’s responsible for this not being “never?” That would be Author, who just posted a link to Miao Diary Chapter 2 Part 1. My first reaction… well, you all know me. An inexplicable urge to blow chunks, the inability to convey thoughts via words, and a never-before felt throbbing in my heart. » Continue reading this…
