Welcome to my world.

I'm SomeGuy, 29 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 visit Vancouver, The Best Place On Earth (actual marketing motto).

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.

Just Got Home

Got a lotta posting and uploading to do now . . . so let's get some quick thoughts out:

  • No one asked for a picture, but more people recognized my Nathan Drake cosplay this time than last.
  • We have a year to practice Rock Band for next time...
  • I love having a camcorder now.
  • Met Batou again, he's as fun as ever.
  • I've humiliated a bunch of American Otakuites and am now debating whether to show how I did or not... 'cause I want to, but I won't if people aren't game for it.
  • I love pub food.
  • I'm also sad that I can't play Castle Crashers at Stupid Ed's house anymore.
  • It was wonderful to meet another guy with a passion for Bon Jovi power ballads.
  • "Crab Battle..."
  • There are no Sackboys to buy out there!
  • FUNimation is REALLY good at what they do now. I used to begrudge them for pandering and playing the big man... but they are just really, really smart about things they do and I can't help but respect that now.
  • The Shinsengumi rocked ass and took names as per usual.
  • I need to go for Korean Barbecue again sooner than later.
  • Hit up a GameStop on the way home, picked up a couple Rock Band cymbals. I'm quite happy about that.
  • Hit up a Jack in the Box on the way home. Amercs, y'know I love ya, but if THAT was what you consider "medium"... damn.

I'll start cutting some video together soon as I can.

Note To Self . . .

[blog] . . . BB code doesn't work for News Nuggets. Stop trying to use them. Ahem. Outside of that, job interview went well, and I just need to fill out the massive application/background form to continue with the process....

Kernel to Chew . . .

One of my posts from the past couple weeks was more than a little disingenuous. I'm not talkin' about April Fool's, either.

Food for thought.

Oh, what the hell?

The site got hacked last night.

This is gonna cost us . . . I don't know how quickly Adam's reacting to fix things, but I hope it's faster than not. With luck, he can change all his passwords and stuff and get things back to normal by tomorrow.

Honestly, I think this is retaliation from one of those Twilight fansites. One podcast crack too many for their tastes, I guess.

Never let it be said that we didn't reap what we had sown . . . eff.
