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.

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…

Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC Beta Impressions
Since everyone and their dog pre-ordered the game, I didn’t feel like missing out. I had just gotten back into Battlefield 2142 too, so I thought what the hell.

Winter 2010 Season Start Overview – The Initial Power Levels
I think onee-chan is pretty cool guy. eh eats imoutos and doesn’t afraid of anything.
I suppose it’s about time to crank one of these posts out. I got some nice specimen piled up for another image site rage, but let me get over and done with this first. Your usual initial ranking of shows running this season plus a few words I may have to say about each.

Thoughts on the Anime Blogosphere and the ‘Otaku’ Elimination Game
War ain’t what it used to be.
Yeah yeah, I was gonna post about Durarara!! but that’ll be up for later. Right now I’m interested in something that was posted in the comments section of a post on the ‘Otaku’ Elimination Game. I’ve had a lot of thoughts surrounding it ever since it began but I’ve been holding myself from expressing them too much. Now I think it’s about time to let it loose.

New Year’s Special – Jinx! ~a tale of memories~
The Twelve Days in b4 Christmas already emptied my reserve of things to look back to in 2009. So instead of reminiscing about how great and shitty anime was this year and how blogging is such a badass hobby, I went out on a nice clear day to take some pictures of my hometown. Since as some of you know due to my ranting on IRC, I’m staying at my family’s house for the holiday season. As my merry, careless student life is very close to an (BAD) end, I decided to visit some places of my childhood where I spent my earlier school days. So yeah, nothing here now but personal ramblings of an old man and pictures of snowy places. Grab a cup of glogg, turn up the Vangelis and heed to my story.

Winter 2009-2010 Season Initial Watchlist
I suppose it’s about time to have a look at the next season now that fall 2009 is pretty much over and done with. Hope you all had a nice and relaxing Christmas – personally I was just counting days to work. I’m too old to really care much about presents anymore – the biggest thing I got was getting me Disgaea 2 for PSP and playing it like a mofo. I love that game, it’s like Disgaea 1 but everything is better. And Rozalin is so hot.

I Am (Not) Impress – Fall 2009 Pre-Finale Verdict
My procurement logistics plan face. But on to the business at hand…
The fall season is finally approaching its conclusion and since my schedule was totally messed up after three weeks of traveling, I thought it would be best to clear things a bit for both my readers and myself. Also, I’m supposed to be studying procurement logistics and doing assignments that make me RAGE, so this is a good way to escape it all and curse over later when I don’t know worth a shit in the exam. In the end I didn’t manage to keep following all that many shows although it was an improvement over the summer season, back when I dropped everything but Bakemonogatari and Zetsubou Sensei. I originally thought utilizing the tier-system throughout this season but right now it all seems unnecessary trouble. After all there are only two classes: Those that by some virtue remained on my schedule and those that did not. No middle ground here kids.
