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.

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.

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.

So-Ra-No-Wo-To Episode 5 – Damn kids, when I was in the army…
Not like I’ve been feeling like picking up episodic blogging but SoraWoto’s fifth episode managed to bring up some not so nice memories of my time of service in the Finnish Defense Forces. Now I sorta know the feeling all the Finnish fathers have when they tell their sons how it was so much tougher back in their day and that conscripts these days are weak and stupid. In fact I claim that whoever hasn’t been through the luxury of military service doesn’t really get much out of this episode.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Lagann-hen Movie Impressions
I wasn’t expecting anything of Gainax after the first TTGL movie which was little more than a waste of time and hard drive space. Hell, I wasn’t even going to bother with this shit until so people started being so obnoxious about how much it rocks. So I set out to find out whether it’s another proof of the generally shitty taste of the public.

Nova’s January 2010 Anime Awards
Oh dear.
What does an anime blogger do when he has an irresistible urge to post but has no decent ideas? Do a Top-listing with a semi-random theme or pull off some shit like this. Hooray for dynamic blogging! Well okay, I was too busy with Bad Company 2 beta to actually try to think up something good to write about. Good thing the beta goes apeshit every now and then, refusing to let me play for a couple hours or so. Anyway, on with today’s topic.

Durarara!! 03 – The Alignment of Badassery
Brains Base, I am impress.
Words fail to express how much I love this show. Episode 2 was full of awesomeness and episode three takes a few steps further. Forget about Gurren Lagann, shounen shits and whatnot, this is what badass looks like.

Welcome to the Jinx! – Hey Look, I Can Do Figurine Posts Too
So I was hanging out on IRC and practicing harmonica, totally minding my own business. I just managed to pull off When the Saints Go Marching in for the first time without any blunders, when hikago decided to give me a grand reason for this faggotry that is about to explode all over your screen. Good thing I already got approved by OEG…

Winter 2010 First Impressions – Durarara!!
This show is awesome. The first episode was pretty banal but worked as a set-up for the second. And boy was the second episode great.

Winter 2010 First Impressions – Omamori Himari
Damn you, Koshimizu Ami!
Omamori Himari looks just as awful as I hoped and feared it would. Hoped because I knew I’d have something to make fun of. Feared because I think the manga is decent and would like to see the anime do it some justice it deserves.
