Welcome to my world.

I'm SomeGuy, 26 years old, residing in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I've studied English Literature, Chinese Martial Arts, and am currently pursuing careers in writing - possibly even in the anime industry itself.

And I work for this site.

And you should be watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.
Or watching Ranma 1/2.
Or learning about the Shinsengumi.
Or planning to come to Anime Evolution in Vancouver this June.

Here at the "Smallville" page, I have my personal blog where I'll post about anything and everything. If ya need me or otherwise need to know anything from/about me, here's where I'll be.

If you're really looking for my more professional, site-type stuff, you wanna head over my "Metropolis" world.

Moooooooving Daaaaay!

I move into my new apartment tomorrow. As such, I shall probably not have internet for a week or so, depending on how long it takes to hook up.

Everyone bug Adam to post the podcast, okay?

Other than that . . . I'll see ya guys in a bit. Don't die while I'm gone, okay?

Also . . . . . packing up dishes is a pain in the ass.

Happy Halloween

(Pumpkin Kratos says Happy Halloween angrily!)

I'm spending the better part of the day working as a Federal exam monitor up at the university. 7am morning. Sick. One-day contract work pays well, though, so yay.

After that . . . Halloween night shall most likely be packing, boxing, and then playing Uncharted 2 for double-experience and other fun stuff. Mostly packing, though.

Happy Halloween, guys.

Love. Freaking. Castle.

Castle's on right now. Halloween episode.

Episode opens with Castle-putting-on-costume-montage.

Red shirt. Tight pants. Boots. Revolver. BROWN LONGCOAT.

Alexis: "What is that?"
Castle: "This? This is, a.... space cowboy."
Alexis: "Again? You wore that costume five years ago."
Castle: "...I like this costume..."

See, this is why we love Nathan Fillion. Also, there was a Buffy reference afterwards. It just makes sense.

Freakin' love this show . . .

EDIT: Found a sneak picture from the set:

Space cowboy indeed . . . . .

There Will Be Brawl . . .

Dude, that's Kyle Hebert . . . we love that guy!

Just started watching "There Will Be Brawl", a web series that's apparently been going on for the better part of this year now. Currently it's up to its seventh episode and has just two more to go.

The series basically goes, "what if Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a dystopian noir world of crime bosses, crooked cops, and serial mutilators?" It's dark, it's violent, it's vulgar, and it's also incredibly funny. Luigi is also the star, which makes me super happy - I've always been a Luigi kinda guy.

And Kyle Hebert plays Wario. We love Kyle Hebert here at theOtaku.com, y'know.

Anyway, should go without saying that this is pretty intense, so it's not for youngins. But if you're mature enough for a cannibalistic Kirby and a Princess Peach who feels you should think of her as a slut . . . this is a crazy good series!

Good News, Bad News . . .

Good News: I got home early enough to watch Being Erica on TV. 'Tis a sweet little Canadian dramedy, 'tis.

Bad News: I totally got sick again. Stupid Ed blames the ghosts that haunted us Friday night (he even missed work!).

Good News: I HAVE AN APARTMENT!!! Mom came with me to look around on Monday. She takes a bit of credit, she feels. In any case, I shall not go homeless starting November. Despite the no elevator (it's on the 3rd floor, will complicate moving), no balcony and no reserved parking, it's less expensive than my current place and is 700 square feet which is pretty big considering what I'll be paying. So yay!

Bad News: I can't find my cheques for my bank account that I think they credit-checked me for. I don't think they came with me during the move. I hope this does not complicate things . . .

Good News: Rock Band DLC today/yesterday: Queen! Ten songs, all brilliant. I should download that now, actually . . .

Bad News: 13 Ghosts (the old 60s version) is on TV right now. Evidently, Ouija boards unnerve the hell out of me now since Paranormal Activity. Go fig'.

Good News (to end on): Penny Arcade made this. Uncharted leads to hilarity. Always.
