Backlog Burn Act I – The First Contact
With Bad Company 2 out to keep me busy, I haven’t had much time to watch anime yet. Still I wasn’t feeling like going to bed just yet, so I thought I might as well blog these few thoughts while they’re still fresh.

Back in Business – PSA and Loot
Sup folks, Nova’s back home. Two weeks in the US passed fairly quickly although I found Florida to be rather dull for the most part. It’s indeed a retirement state where everyone’s either rich, old or black. For a poor European backpacker there wasn’t all that much to do, although I managed to find a nice deal on some combat boots and a Smith&Wesson knife at an army store I stumbled upon in West Palm Beach. Most of the time I spent grooming my miko army in Disgaea 2 and going through whatever books I had packed in with me. New York was thankfully a different story. Easy to navigate and so much things to do, it was truly a backpacker’s paradise. New Yorkers look and behave so much like Finns that blending into the crowd was no problem – if it hadn’t been for my coyote brown Camelbak Motherlode that I was hauling around with me wherever I went. I managed to meet up with one IRC acquaintance and thanks to his guidance finding and raiding the local Kinokuniya went smoothly.

So I’m in the US. Now what? (A Desperate Call to Fellow Bloggers)
Since I’m kind of on the clock here, I’ll keep this short. As you may know, I’m in the United States right now assisting my family with some real estate business in Florida, West Palm area. Next week I will take off for New York on wednesday for a couple days of personal vacation and then head back home to Finland. So, if you’re a fellow anime blogger and feel like meeting up, let me know. Here in FL my options are kind of limited as I’m mostly tied to my family but over in NY I have two days I’d rather spend meeting up with my colleagues. I don’t really like to spend a night out alone while I’m abroad.
So if you feel like a couple beers and a talk about annie-may and whatever else, do let me know as soon as possible. I have only limited access to the internet so your best bet is sending me an e-mail or commenting here (preferably the latter).
Elementary Shoppin – Nova’s Guide To Decent Header Banners
I was quite pleased when my IRC client’s aggregator finally reported a new post on OEG. I was getting worried that the guys had already called it quits. Anyway, the latest OEG round made me uncomfortably aware of how full of fail some blogs are in regards to their visual appearance. Now, as a fellow nerd I do understand that the external appearance might not always be the priority no.1 to a whole lot of you, but some blogs just have so inexcusably bad header images that something has to be done about it. Thus I decided attempt helping my fellow bloggers make their sites look better. Unfortunately I don’t know jack about webdesign, CSS and shit like that (I count on JTFish on that), so my only option was to share the little knowledge I have in making decent-looking header banners.

The Obligatory Single Awareness Day Post – Some Good Ol’ Pointless Ramble
It’s nice to see that Valentine’s still hasn’t been able to establish itself as an anime blogger festivity. I’ve never really gotten into the whole Valentine’s deal, being a sad nerd as I am and considering the fact that Catholic holidays in general aren’t that big out here in Finland (gratz to Gustav I of Sweden, good job back there brah). And what would Valentine’s mean anyway to those of us lurking moar and blasting out psychedelic trance like it was any other day? Besides I don’t even like chocolate. Haters gonna hate, hell yeah.

Winter 2010 Mid-Season Check – Idiots, Tests and Bursting Nutbladders
HNNNNNNNGG-
As the season has reached its midpoint, I suppose it’s time to have a look at how the shows have been doing so far. This season has provided us with a few positive surprises and at least in comparison to what it was last year I can’t say it has been all that bad. Anyway, on with the current power levels…

Original English VN ‘Memo’ Released
Aww…don’t say that Lizzy, I just want to make sure you’re safe.
Thanks to sage for the heads up, an OEL visual novel Memo got released today. I’m no news service but since original English language VNs aren’t an everyday’s happening, I thought it deserves a post. Memo is available for free as a 77MB zipped package, you can find download links on its website. I gave it a quick spin myself and it looks quite nice for a free VN. Tsundere Liz is so damn hot too…verbal abuse, NEED MOAR! The GUI is very smooth and nicely done, as are the scene and character transitions.

Halo Legends OVA 1 Impressions – The Origins
ATTENTION: This episode was produced by captive Flood animators while the production crew was busy drinking the budget up.
[22:57] (+NovaJinx) Halo Legends, I am not impress
[22:57] (+NovaJinx) I somehow expected more than what reminds me of the shitty flash animations in Mirror’s Edge
Kara no Kyoukai 7
That’s the best he could come up with?! Look like a total emo faggot? Any heterosexual person would have chosen the obvious option:
MOTHERFUCKING EYEPATCH AND PIRATE HAT. Think about it, it’s perfect. Shiki could have gotten one of them hook hands. And he could have gotten his broken leg amputated and replaced with a peg leg. And together they could have shown those Somalians how pirating is done. Man that would have been a badass sequel…
Baka to Test Episode 5 – You Wish The Cake Was A Lie
Damn Silver Link, Baka to Test is pretty much the funniest show I’ve seen ever since Seto no Hanayome. Hell, I’m beginning to think that it deserves to be promoted to God Tier. In this modern world of comedic mediocrity, stuff like this definitely stands out – nowadays it seems that most studios have interpreted that as long as you stuff as many references into a show as possible, it will be comedy gold. Oh well, I guess we can only blame their retarded audience.
