09/02/2016: Hungry Eyes
In my English class, I've been learning how to do an actual thorough analysis on literary works. I'm super glad about this, as this whole past year I've literally just been typing and talking straight from my ass.
Asides from this, I have a paper due within a month, and lots of work from class. It's been a bit of a hassle.
I went out and bought the Loot Anime crate for the month of August, I'll have pictures of the contents whenever it arrives.
Anywho, I'll try to watch a new movie by next week. I recommend watching Kubo of the Two Strings.

08/18/2016: Fortunate Sons
Hey there readers. It's that time of the week and also that time of the month to make a post on the 18th of August. Today is actually my brother's birthday, so in the off chance that he'll actually see this, happy birthday you big ol' stinker.
I've been reading these translated chapters of a book called Orokamonogatari. Oro, what I'm calling it from hence forth, is part of a series of books from the Monogatari line up. If you know me even slightly, you'd know that I have a big, chubby one over this series. My waifu hails from this anime, so please consider my feelings before you talk mad shit.
Oro follows none of the above. The story actually takes place after Sodachi Lost, which I won't go into detail with, just know that things have been sorta resolved between the MC and the heroine of the book, Sodachi Oikura, transfers to another school to begin the last month of her high school career.
The book reveals a lot of Sodachi's intentions and idiosyncrasies. It's cool seeing the other side of the coin, who was very ambiguous with her intentions before the light novel. She has a lot of quirks that make her completely awful, but that's part of the reason she's warming up to me. She's asocial and borderline psychotic, but she struggles through daily life trying to be a better person to prove someone wrong. It's very enjoyable, and I'm sure the rest of the chapters will follow suite.
I started to learn Japanese. I've taken the red pill, and now there is no going back. I suppose this is no surprise since I feed my nerdy antics with lots of Japanese weeb products and media, so I figure I might as well take it all the way.
Single and living in a single flat apartment in Japan, here I come.
Ohhh, also I'll be occasionally posting what I've learned on here. Maybe you'll appreciate it or some shit, I dunno.

08/07/2016: Battle Tendency
Besides the terrible movie and the good times, I've played through Layers of Fear.
Honestly, a very, very good time. I can't say a lot of bad things about this game, besides the length.
The atmosphere really sold me on this one; silence in one room, with nothing but your footsteps, mimicking a heartbeat, being heard over the sound of a woman's cries, or the times where the music kicks up bringing the tension along with it.
If you haven't played the game already, I would recommend to do so soon.
finish it
you deserve it
I've also checked out a documentary on steam called "Branching Paths." Honestly, I was hoping to see more on the industry with Visual Novels and the likes with a title like that, but you mostly get insiders on the stories of Japanese indie developers. Don't get me wrong, it was a very interesting as well, but I'm a huge weeb and like to learn up on the stuff like the struggle of developing visual novels. The stories were heart warming and interesting, and some were a bit sad. :( but really good watch anyways. Hope some of the movie money goes to the developers.
I've bought a few games on steam these past few weeks. Quite a few actually. I refunded Day of Infamy for them. Day of Infamy fucking blows.
Anywho, with the extra cash money I got back from doing so, I bought Grim Dawn.
Grim Dawn is Titan Quest with a grim european fantasy setting, but post apocalyptic. After the fall of civilizations.
To be totally frank, it looks like any other fantasy setting? So I'm not really sure what that's all about, besides giving a central plot point.
What I do love about the game is extra strong. Dual classing, great auto inventory management, among other features that you would want in a Diablo 2 clone. What's also included is called the Devotion Tree, which is a secondary skill tree which can be grown by purifying temples you find on the map. Besides encouraging exploration, I feel that it's a neat way to challenge a player with a wave of monsters to fight, or burn a resource you gain from killing a monster den. It's neato.
I got the game for about 15$, but I feel like I walked away with a game heavy with content. No buyer's remorse this time.
Not like the time my friend made me promise to buy 25$ worth of tickets to see Suicide Squad. Fuck that.

08/07/2016: Double Blog Posting Extravaganza!
This is to make up for the lack of one last week.
Have been very busy lately. Admittedly mostly social life stuff, which is different for me.
The other night, I went out with my older brother and my best friend from high school. It was an excellent night with excellent people and rad times.
Also checked out Suicide Squad.
My thoughts?
Meh. If it wasn't just a Will Smith movie, it probably would've been okay.
Not saying that Will Smith is bad, the man can turn even the cheesiest, shittiest lines into something digestible and believable.
However, one man cannot stop a ship from sinking.
In other words, it sucked. Go see it if you want to.

07/30/2016: No title
My last few posts have been admittedly lazy, with my decidedly lackadaisical approach to posting on this blog recently. I'm really lazy.
So with that in mind, I've decided to rectum this problem. A brand new post! For all you bots and non bots to view! Keep in mind, my brain has been a tad addled.
Even now, I can't recall the last week all too well. Tomorrow, I actually plan to get some German food with a.. great friend of mine. Admittedly, his personality is one of the reasons I'm slowly going insane. It has been nagging at me in the corner of my mind, the way he tries to sound intellectual by using vocabulary outside of his comprehension to sound like a pompous aristocrat poo head.
Like yours truly.
Please stop 'pulling' your movie opinions from Rotten Tomato. I do not care to hear what they say in 'your' voice. I've already pulled up 'your' opinion at least once or twice. Lmao GG
Speaking of, my thoughts have definitely been on a darker side. I mean that with the least amount of edge possible. That's about as possible as my negative thoughts taking a positive turn. Holy shit, I could not be edgier right now if I literally cut myself from my existential angst.
ANYWHO
I watched Lights Out.
It's definitely a runner for the 'Disappointment of the Year 2016', up there with 'Day of Infamy' and the new Independence Day movie.
I even dragged my pompous movie going from to see it. Was it worth? It was okay.
The hugest downfall of the movie were critic reviews. I read one out of curiosity, and I usually go into a movie blind. I wanted to change that just once, just to see if my opinion would be affected in any way afterwards. The experience was practically ruined for me. Never again.
What stood out the most when I read the review was the theme of the movie. Here, let me spoil it for you, too.
Depression. Not just any kind of depression, but chronic depression.
Critics, right? I honestly did not think too much of it. The critics I've read tend to pound on very good points, but other times they also drive ones so benign right into the ground. It happens, everyone will have a different perspective on things.
However, this particular critique on the movie nails the biggest problem on the head.
What bothered me the most about Lights Out was not the theme itself, but the fact that the movie kept reminding you that the theme was so. Blatant, contrived to the point of it being obnoxious.
"Ghost, why are you haunting that girl?"
"To make her feeeeeeeellllll baaadddd"
"Ghost, why did you hit her??"
"Because she was feeelllinnngn betterrrrr ooooOooOooOoo"
This happens every five minutes.
The ghost appeared after the death of both the husbands of the wife who is haunted, child as well. The ghost haunts the child turned adult many years into the future after confronting her mother after so many so years. The ghost haunts the girl at the asylum, making her feel bad at every turn by hurting her. The ghost tells the haunted woman her thoughts and how the woman is a terrible person.
And finally, the finale.
Mind you, the movie is so blatant on the theme thus. How will we solve this dilemma called chronic ghost depression?
Fucking kill yourself.
What an answer. To save the girl from her own shadows, she points the gun to her head and offs herself. WHAT A FUCKING ANSWER.
Movies. No doubt they will always be fictitious no matter how close to reality they seem. However, they will always contain a dose of human element to bring an audience that much closer, relating and sharing an experience that could almost be called real.
HOWEVER, DO NOT TELL A POSSIBLE AUDIENCE AFFLICTED WITH DEPRESSION TO KILL THEMSELVES.
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE
IM DONE
