Shooting the vBullet. If you haven't visited Tony's Group Sounds messageboard, I strongly suggest that you check it out. He's made great use of vB3. Click here to check it out. I was actually interested to see that Tony's added a games arcade to his message board. If any of you remember what I was talking about a couple of months ago (regarding some significant OB changes), then you should know that Tony's boards provide you with a pretty good glimpse of what we've been doing. That is, we've been adding an "arcade" to OtakuBoards. Actually, the old vB2 also had an arcade feature. But back at that time, we were already talking about V7...so I decided to hold back on introducing it. In any case, the vB3 version seems to be better anyway. A bigger variety of games and a better group of features. The OB Arcade has actually been sitting in wait for about a month now. In other words, it was completed a month ago. So why haven't we opened it yet? Well, the answer is simple really. In order to launch the arcade, we actually have to implement some critical design changes to the site (relating to the postbit). The design changes aim to improve the functionality of the postbit, by allowing members to challenge one another and so on. The design is actually complete; it just hasn't been implemented. I say this because the reaction to the arcade seems to have been great, from those who have played around with it. I really had no idea whether it was a truly desirable feature or not, but seeing someone put it to use is great. So that's something to look forward to. On a semi-related front, I'm really looking forward to the next two weeks being over. Once they're over, 90% of my semester's finals work will have been submitted. At that point I will be a lot more free to devote my time to online stuff. This will be great. It will allow me to work on my next RPG, to do a tonne of work for N-Sider, to get heavily involved in new construction work for theOtaku.com...and of course, it will allow me to attend to some critical OB upgrades. Apart from the aforementioned arcade and postbit changes, OtakuBoards should be receiving two additional skins during the summer. I know I've promised skins before and they've been delayed again and again, but as you know, this is largely a result of time constraints. When I have limited time, I prefer to work on more critical things (ie: myOtaku v2), rather than skins and stuff. I'm also hoping to touch base with Tony about skins and see how his are coming along. Hopefully we'll be talking about three skins during summer, which should add a good sense of variety to OtakuBoards. Those changes, as well as some forum restructing, should help to revitalize OtakuBoards a little over the summer period. It's good, because since the launch of V7, we really haven't made any key changes to the site. These tweaks and adjustments should definitely help to improve V7 overall.

Remembering D-Day. Today I've been watching a lot of news reports about various D-Day commemoration events occurring around the world. Soon there will be one large event held at Normandy, with something like 14 world leaders, including Prime Minister Howard (our PM, if you didn't know ~_^). Watching these reports has been interesting. When President Bush visited Rome, there were mass demonstrations against him. And in France, around 2/3 of the population have a general dislike of the United States itself. Obviously, there are some who get far too defensive about this; the French are not saying that they dislike American people themselves. They're obviously talking about America in terms of its Government. Still, I found it interesting that in Normandy, the vast majority of citizens are still enjoying a kind of love affair with America. It's as though the general ill-feeling in Europe hasn't touched that part of France. Why? Well, Normandy obviously has a very personal experience with both war and the United States. And sixty years on, they haven't forgotten. In my country, opinion about the war in Iraq is about 50/50. Despite this, I would say that the people here are definitely a lot more forgiving of America than the French. However, one thing strikes me about people of my generation in Australia. So many of them have apparently forgotten the lessons of the past. A lot of tertiary students are critical of the Bush administration and America in general, but they seem to lack perspective. For example, a lot of young people seem to have forgotten what happened in World War II. During that time, Australia had sent an enormous number of forces to Europe. Obviously we did this primarily because of our allegiance with Britain, as well the fact that in WWII, defeat on the part of the allies was simply not an option. But just as we did this, Japan decided to enter the war. We hear a lot about Pearl Harbour and how it was such a serious attack. And I don't want to be flippant about that; it was a historic moment, in terms of being a "direct" attack on the United States. However, a lot of people (apparently including various Australian citizens) seem to have forgotten that Japan attacked two large Australian cities; Darwin and Sydney. As a matter of fact, large bombs and underwater mines still occasionally wash up on Sydney beaches, as a result of WWII. The reason I point this out is simple. During that time in our history, we were very vulnerable; we'd sent the vast majority of our military forces to Europe. So the forces we had left to defend our own territory were relatively small by comparison. And many of those men died defending Papua New Guinea and Indonesia in particular. Obviously, if America had not become involved in the war, Australia would now be part of the Japanese Empire. There's simply no question about that. Nobody in the region was able to withstand Japan's power - even America had a very difficult time overcoming the Japanese. Of course, America got involved as a result of Pearl Harbour. And of course, if Pearl Harbour hadn't been attacked, one might wonder if America had become involved to the degree that they did. But that aside, one fact is clear; the United States was primarily responsible for ensuring Australia's freedom, just as Australia played a role in defeating the Nazis alongside other allies. The overall point I'm making, I guess, is that it's so easy to lose perspective. America is such a visible target and it's easy to blame America for all of the world's problems. But when I look at the state of the world today, I tend to actually be very thankful not only that America exists...but that it is the world's sole superpower. Can you even imagine what the world would be like if China were the only superpower? Or Russia? Things would be very different. Territories like Taiwan probably wouldn't have democracy like they do now, if China were able to simply do what it wanted. It is mostly due to American involvement in Asia that China hasn't already attacked Taiwan. Of course, it's not entirely one-sided. If you are an American, you simply won't understand what it's like to see American pop-culture squeeze the world tightly in its fist...oftentimes to the detriment of local cultures, which are sometimes threatened with complete extinction as a result. But I don't believe that this has anything to do with some kind of conspiracy or subversive plot -- it's what naturally happens when one country has such reach around the world. It's the way things are. It may not be perfect...but it could be a lot worse. So it's something to think about, for those of you who are reading this and who are not Americans yourselves. But for those of you who are American (the vast majority of you), I think it's important that you understand that the world isn't entirely anti-American. It's just that a lot of people tend to forget history. But those of us who remember history (and those of us who have a deep connection with American people, via our friendships and relationships) are very thankful that America exists. As long and rambly as that is, I thought it was something I had to say on a day like this.

"Waiter, there's an anime fangirl in my soup." Remember I told you about that book project and stuff? Well, that was all submitted yesterday. Phew. Unfortunately I still have two other big projects to complete this semester. The good news is that there is apparently only three weeks left. The bad news is that this means I only have three weeks to finish everything. Bleh. As I write this, I'm using my dial-up connection. I have to buy another Wireless USB Adapter so that both computers in the house can connect to the modem, which is a bit of a pain. But it's not unexpected I guess. This post won't be particularly long, I just wanted to mention to Baron that I read his comment a few posts ago (about proofreading RPG stuff?) Baron, I'd be happy to proofread something if you'd like. The best way to send it to me would be to PM it on OtakuBoards. If I can get some time to sit down and read through it for you, I will send you a response with my thoughts. I'm always happy to help people out on their RPGs if I can, especially because I've always been able to rely on others in various ways with my own. So if I can get to that, it'd be cool. EDIT: I just read stern624's comment in my Guest Book and I thought I'd use this post to respond. If AIM doesn't work on your computer, it's not our responsibility to develop a live chat room for you. If AIM doesn't work, use another product (ie: MSN). And if that doesn't work, use Yahoo; or some other online chatroom. The basic point I'm making is that it is not necessary or desirable to post off topic stuff in people's Otaku Life comments. If you wish to speak to me privately that desperately, you can always send me a Private Message on OtakuBoards. There are ways to do it that are still courteous. ~_^ Also, we did used to have a live chatroom on theOtaku.com. And what happened? It was very difficult to moderate and became overrun with spammers. We felt that we could not guarantee the quality of the place, and eventually we shut it down. So, I just wanted to point all of that stuff out. Nobody needs to resort to spamming simply because you don't have AIM or something. Again, using myOtaku is a privilege -- we aren't responsible for providing chatrooms or anything else. We only provide what we can, within reason. And, no...I haven't signed anyone's guest book. At least, not for quite some time. So many people have signed mine and asked for signatures that it takes a lot of time to go around and sign everyone's. Unfortunately I don't have the time to sit down and sign 200-300 of 'em. Hopefully I can sign a few here and there though. But I do appreciate the signatures, for those who take the time to sign. I want to make that very clear. ~_^

Spread your wings. Well, I now finally have broadband. It's nice to be free from 56K, especially considering the ridiculous stuff we went through with Telstra to get everything going. Actually, it was just a matter of them not sending the confirmation email for something like two and a half weeks. -.-;; But still, it's all been fixed now. The installation was very easy. I'll be adding a second computer to the wireless network tomorrow as well. On that note, I'm glad I went with wireless. It was more expensive, but the alternative (running a cable through to this room) would have been a huge pain in the butt. Right now the biggest advantage for me is simply file transferring that relates to web development. It's now very easy to transfer large graphics files and so on. I've also now begun the process of sorting and uploading tracks for Kill Adam 2's soundtrack. I was thinking of doing something corny, like calling it DSS (Dynamic Soundtrack System) or something. People have used midi in RPGs before (note Shy in particular), but I think that Kill Adam 2 will really push this soundtrack concept a lot further. Of course, broadband won't be required to actually read the RPG...but it's highly preferable if you wanted to actually utilize the soundtrack feature. The great thing is that usage of the soundtrack is optional. But more importantly, even if you're on 56K...you can still elect to have certain songs used in your posts, even if you can't listen to them. So I hope that this, as well as a couple of other little innovations, will be warmly adopted by Kill Adam's participants. Also, I took the opportunity to watch the trailer for Hero now that I have broadband. I have one word for you: wow. This movie looks simply gorgeous - absolutely beautiful art direction and some stunning special effects. It looks a bit like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with a little Matrix and Kill Bill thrown in for good measure. How can that be a bad thing? You're right, it can't. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the trailer to I, Robot last night when I saw The Day After Tomorrow. At first, I noticed that the music they were playing was lifted directly from one of the Matrix soundtracks (though it appears to be somewhat remixed). This made me think, for one moment "Oh man...don't tell me that they're making a Second Renaissance movie!" ...unfortunately it didn't fulfill one of my wildest dreams, but the movie may still be pretty good. Afterall, it's based on a somewhat famous story. And the visuals look pretty remarkable. The robots remind me of a Bjork video clip...where two robot versions of herself are making love on a conveyor belt. Has anyone seen that video? Although the song doesn't particularly interest me, the clip is amazing. In fact, I think it's possibly one of my favourite music videos ever. The design of the robots in both the movie and the music video seem kinda similar...which can only be a good thing. Although having said that, I think the robots in the Bjork clip look better. They're a bit more clinical and sterile looking though, as opposed to looking more like a consumer product (as in I, Robot). In any case, I'll definitely be checking that movie out. And I hope that you are looking forward to Kill Adam 2. I'm starting to feel a lot of pressure to get that just right...but it's in good hands generally (especially with Tony providing the HTML behind it).

Funky see, funky do. I'm excited by Adventure Arena lately...moreso than usual. There are a few reasons for that. One is related to the current discussion in Otaku Lounge, which seems to be getting some great contributions going. Another is related to the fact that we are talking about restructuring The Arena in the staff forum right now. Some awesome ideas are coming up and things are taking shape. The staff are narrowing things down and building ideas in a group...and I'm very proud of them. ~_^ These new changes, when they come into play...will be very cool, I think. I think they will really serve to make The Arena even an even more unique and exclusive part of OtakuBoards. Also, in general, a lot of people seem to have these amazing RPG ideas lately. It's so cool. Left right and center, I'm seeing people discussing exciting new concepts and planning their own big debuts. It's wonderful. All of these developments really give me the hope that Adventure Arena will soon be filled to the brim with exciting new RPGs. Even if I don't participate in all of them, it's always exciting to see big new work get put up...especially if the idea is unique. Also before I go, I want to make a comment to fried ryce who has been making comments on my posts lately. Basically, I want to say that I have no idea what your former myOtaku name was. You still haven't told me. Therefore, I have no idea why it was deleted. That's the first point; nobody can help you if you don't provide the relevant information. Secondly, if you want to see the Stolen Art thread at OtakuBoards, please click here. If you see your old account mentioned in there (and if there is an error or concern), you may want to register and clarify it in that thread. If you aren't mentioned in that thread, then your site wasn't deleted because of plagiarism. As to why it may have been deleted in that case...I have no idea. Again, I haven't been told what your old account was called. And without that info, I cannot help you.

Take me to the beach... Wow, here I am again, updating my page. I was going to just edit my last post, but I couldn't be bothered. So here's a full update, or something. ~_^ I often start these posts having no idea of what I'll talk about. I usually just ease into a topic as I type. So let's see how it goes. I guess the first thing to mention is that I was assigned another project for school yesterday. This isn't news in and of itself, because when one project ends another always begins for that class. No big deal. The big deal is that this project is really more of an industrial design project than a graphic design one. Moreover, it's to be submitted to a national industrial design competition. And further still...the competition says that you have to have the entry ready in August. Our school wants them to be submitted by late June. Are they serious? The competition deadline is reasonable, given the size of the project. My school is wanting to literally cut that down to about a third of the time. I find that to be quite insane. If the school expects winners to be representing it at the competition, how can it achieve this if we have far less time than other institutions? I'm sure they have some method to their madness but...I can't see it at the moment. Other than that, there isn't really a huge amount of new stuff to report here. Well, I should actually say that I think I've developed a crush on someone at my school, who is in their first year (I'm in second year). But uh...that's not really very exciting news or anything. It's only noteable because throughout the entire year and a half of me going there, I never really noticed anyone at all, in any year level. So, that has added a bit of distraction for me this week. lol I was going to talk about a few OtakuBoards-related things, but I think I will do that in my next post possibly. I say that mostly because I've been talking to CrH on AIM about it and I feel like I'd only be repeating things here. Anyway, this week I'm in for a pretty quiet Saturday night I think. A few of my female friends are going out to see male strippers (I forget what the occasion is) and they invited me along. But I declined. I'm all out of money anyway. ~_^ Ahem. Yes, so, off I go. If you comment, try to be kind and thoughtful. Oh and...a virtual hug would not go astray. Goodnight. ^_^

If you read only one myOtaku this year... ...it must be this one. Particularly the post about Japanophiles. I couldn't have agreed more with every point that Mr. Cutter made if I possibly tried. So, it must be the myOtaku entry that you read, if you never read anything else on this site. That's all I have to say at the moment. No doubt I'll edit later. ~_^

Anti-freeze isn't good for you. What should I talk about in this post? Hm... Okay, I'll give your requests a go. ~_^ Public Transport The public transport in Melbourne is the best in Australia, by far. The only thing that comes close to beating it is the Sydney Monorail...which is admittedly pretty cool (even though it's overpriced, as is everything there). Right now, Melbourne is in transition. This is because of the Commonwealth Games in 2006, which will be hosted here. Two of the city's major train stations (Spencer Street Station and Melbourne Central Station) are being completely revamped, which is very cool. If you are interested in seeing the snazzy website about it, click here. It's going to be very funky when it's done. The new roof that covers the entire complex looks like a big pool of rippling water. When you combine that with MCS's redevelopment as well as the new Docklands and Federation Square...Melbourne looks almost totally different to what it did only five years ago. Everything is new now. The Docklands (where my school is located) is going to be particularly awesome when it's finished. The entire thing is being redeveloped and skyscapers are going up everywhere. It's wonderful. In terms of the specifics of public transport, about half the trains in Melbourne are operated by Connex, which is a French company. The other half are operated by Metlink or whatever they're called. I forget, because their trains don't operate on the line I use to get to the city. So I never take 'em. Both Metlink and Connex have been replacing the ageing Melbourne train fleet with completely new trains. Even the old ones, by world standards, were pretty comfortable and nice. The new ones are even better. They're all white and sleek, with climate controlled interiors. The doors open with a funky little push button that lights up...and you can easily move between carriages, which are seperated by sliding glass doors. The whole setup is a lot more modern. Even the sound of the train is totally different -- from the outside, it sounds more like a space ship than a train. lol It takes me about two hours to get to school, including bus travel. Despite the fact that it's a relatively long journey (with two line changes), it's actually quite comfortable. The new Connex trains are probably the best way to ride into the city; in some ways, they are even nicer than using a car. So there you go. That's a brief look at Melbourne's public transport. And I haven't even gone into the uber-cool new trams, which look like space shuttles. lol It's going to be really nice when everything's finished. Commonwealth Games, here we come. ~_^ Weather Melbourne gets all kinds of crazy weather. The best part about Melbourne, though, is that we never suffer from extreme weather. No severe earthquakes, floods (generally) or tornadoes. Nothing like that. It's a temperate zone, so things are "in the middle", between tropical and arctic. lol The good thing about this is that all of our seasons are real. Summer gets very hot and bright. Winter is freezing and icy (although it never snows in Melbourne; only way outside the city), spring is bright and colourful and in autumn, everything turns golden brown and red...it's fantastic. I think that very late summer and very early summer are my favourite times of the year. It's that time when the weather is a little warm, with lots of cool breezes. It's so nice to go outside during those times. It's especially nice when you get thunder storms during that type of weather too. I also love autumn, because I like windy conditions. >:P Enter the Net What is there to say about this, really? I mean, I have frequently praised Solo's effort. Enter the Net has become the prominent writing achievement on OtakuBoards. And for good reason. Not only is everything well written, but Solo manages to include a million references to things that are unique to our community. So in many ways, I think Enter the Net is like a snapshot of this entire community. And if you think about it, that's a very cool thing. Although Enter the Net is fiction, it's almost an encyclopedia of OtakuBoards history (especially the Plushie play ~_^). The other cool thing about Enter the Net, is that Solo has managed to recreate people's personalities (or online personas) in a really accurate and humorous way. It shows that Solo is a pretty perceptive guy, because he's noticed so many of the little nuances of the community. So there you go. Anything else I should talk about in my next post? ~_^

Don't massage her feet. I saw Pulp Fiction for the first time a couple of days ago. It's kind of funny, because I vividly remember when it was released...but I never really had any desire to see it. I'm not a fan of gang/gangster movies. I've seen it once, and seen a few scenes a couple of times over (because my sister wanted to watch it too, so I watched a bit with her). It was kind of interesting to see the scene where Vincent takes Mia to dinner, if only because that whole scene (especially the twist competition) is so famous by now. So to actually see what surrounded some of those famous scenes was really cool. As for the movie itself? I liked it, and I think I liked it more upon seeing various scenes a couple of times. My favourite parts of the movie are the ones involving Uma Thurman, for sure. Although just about all of the conversations in the entire movie are awesome, the one between her and John Travolta over drinks is particularly cool. It's also interesting to look back on a movie like Pulp Fiction, and think about the fact that each decade has something that really defines it. For the most part, the 90's seem a bit hard to define because in some ways those years weren't as distinctive as previous decades. But when I watched Pulp Fiction, I had a very distinct feeling that it was a movie that belongs in the 90's and wouldn't fit anywhere else. Does that make sense? I'm not sure if anyone else had that feeling. Even though I had never seen it, it kind of gave me a sense of nostalgia. Hard to explain. In any case, I think it's worthy of the praise that it receives. I did find some parts of it quite slow and dull, but generally my interest was held purely through the wonderful dialogue. It's all gold, pure and simple. Even though most of the characters are swearing constantly, what they are actually saying is often pretty significant. Even the Seinfeld-like discussion between Mia and Vincent is still something that you rarely see in movies. Movies are designed never to have awkward silences, you know? To see it happen kind of makes the characters more real, in a way. I could probably continue writing about that forever, but I won't. Before I go, I wanted to ask everyone something. I have an idea for Kill Adam, which I've mentioned to a couple of people so far to gauge reaction. Basically, a long time ago (well before the first RPG began), I wrote an opening post to it. I think I've shown this post to Mimmi. It's quite different from what I ended up submitting as the first post. It even involves a character that never made it into the story (though he may for Volume 2, who knows). And I wondered if other participants had this type of stuff laying around. I say this because I'd like to make a thread after Volume 2 concludes, titled "Kill Adam: Deleted Scenes". It's pretty self explanatory. It would be a single thread where people submit pieces that never made it, for whatever reason. Even if they're very early notes and thoughts...it doesn't matter. I'd like to see everything go in there. It would be very cool. It would also lend itself to some discussion about what happened with the ideas (what was removed, retained, etc) and how things developed. I think it would be an interesting approach and a nice complement to the RPG itself. Do you think that it's an idea worth pursuing? And if you're a KA participant...maybe you can let me know if you have stuff any "Deleted Scenes" to include. I will be encouraging people to keep their deleted scenes from Volume 2 as well, for this purpose.

There's a blade by the bed and a phone in my hand. I saw Kill Bill 2 again last night. That was pretty cool, because I was seeing it with my mother and sister. I was particularly interested in my mother's reaction to it, because she said that she enjoyed the first a lot more during the second sitting. And really, Kill Bill 2 is quite different in tone from the first. She liked it, but found it to be even more weird than Volume 1. In particular, she found Pai Mei to be an utterly ridiculous character. And of course, he was. And that was the point. But she understood that, so it's all good. lol In any case, I loved it. I liked it more the second time, definitely. Kill Bill just has a great attraction, which is difficult to adequately describe. Apart from the themes and all of that stuff, the performances and characters are all so wonderful. Not only are they wonderful, but they interact with each other perfectly too. There are several examples that I can give you about why Kill Bill has had such a strong impact on me. The first and most obvious is probably my Kill Adam RPG...which began almost as a parody of Kill Bill, where Kill Bill itself is almost a parody of traditional Hong Kong and Japanese martial arts films. It's evolved beyond that, but the point is that Kill Bill was my main motivation for doing it (not to mention Josh's encouragement and discussion). Secondly, there's Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah. Uma Thurman is never an actress that I particularly noticed. Out of any of the performances of hers that I've seen...I've rarely been wowed by her acting ability. She was really awkward and silly as Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin for example (not that Batman & Robin is an example of a great movie anyway -- but still). In addition, I never understood why she is seen as this great "Hollywood beauty". She has incredibly ugly feet (lol) and she has some very manly features. I don't see her as being very feminine at all, in various ways. This isn't to say that I think she's ugly -- if I saw her in everyday life, I'd probably think she was quite a pretty woman. But she's certainly not a classic beauty, if you see what I mean. In general, I always felt that she was a bit overrated. Kill Bill changed my opinion. Not only did she deliver her lines perfectly, but the character of The Bride fit her like a glove. In some ways, the idea of Uma Thurman and a martial arts movie originally seemed like polar opposites for me. But it works so well. Moreover, Uma impressed me greatly in various scenes in both movies, but particularly in Volume 2. Remember when she was being buried in the wooden coffin? Her reaction to that...her crying frantically when the torch went out...everything about that felt real. It was amazing to watch. It was really mesmerizing. And when she walks into the cafe and asks for the water, and gives that little smile...lol. It was just perfectly executed by her. Her interactions with Bill and B.B. are also very genuine in appearance. Overall, a combination of her character's plight as well as her own acting ability really helped to sell me on Kill Bill. It was a role made for her, and she shined in it. It was so good that it has really made me love her as an actress. And Daryl Hannah...well, she always kind of annoyed me. I think this is mostly because her characters have usually been very soft personalities. Remember her character in Grumpy Old Men? Nearly every character she plays seems to speak softly and wear fluffy pink sweaters. So of course, I start to somewhat associate that with her. Seeing her play Elle Driver was so refreshing, because here she was, being the total opposite to what I'd expect. Not only that, but she did it so well. The way she delivered her lines, her physical movements...and especially her little speech about what happened with Pai Mei. When the camera zooms in on her eye and mouth as she talks and laughs...she really came across as a classic movie villain. It was great. It left a big impression on me. And so, like Uma, Kill Bill has definitely restored some faith in Daryl Hannah for me. On a similar note, I'm continuing to prepare for Kill Adam 2. I'm going to be pushing things a bit further on a technological basis, by incorporating more HTML into the design and stuff. Tony is helping me with that, which is great. He always knows what he's doing and his actual enthusiasm for the RPG has been awesome in general. I'm thinking about using the music player concept from The Matrix Revelations, as well. It will be a bit more simple in Kill Adam...but it would potentially give participants a much finer degree of control over the atmosphere of their posts. The big question is whether or not I have my broadband set up in time -- if it were up and running, things would be a lot easier in terms of music and stuff. Anyway, it should be good. Perhaps Kill Adam 2's debut will coincide with the changes that I briefly mentioned in my last post. So, KA2 might be a good testbed for it -- a good example of what you'll be able to do. All in all, I hope that there's enough interest for this second RPG. I hope that people decide to sign-up. Although the entrance requirements will be within certain boundaries, I don't want people to feel intimidated -- even if they don't get in, it's great that they give it a go. Just by signing up, people are showing a level of enthusiasm for the RPG. And that kind of support is very cool.
