So I just watched Dance in the Vampire Bund and I am one of those people that pays attention to detail.. and I noticed a few things that kinda bothered me.  I don’t really have anything better to do so I will nitpick a bit.

The first piece of evidence are these bit marks.

This pattern just does not make sense.  I don’t see how it is possible to bite a person in such a way so that the markings is in a semi horizontal fashion.  Think for a minute for where your canine teeth are located.  Now try to orient yourself so that your canines will leave markings as shown above.  If the victim is standing, you need to be taller and reach over their shoulder.  The second case would be standing and their head is turned.  How would a vampire even bite a person from that angle.  Their head is leaning towards the victim’s head and that would leave little room for anything.  If the bite mark closer towards the front of the body is higher. It would make a lot more sense.

Point of entry:

But what do I know?  I’m not a vampire.  I know nothing about biting into people so I am obviously talking out my ass here.

One other small point I noticed would be the amount of vampires they shown or speculated to be in Canada, or more specifically, in remote places.

I am generally under the assumption that vampires would tend to want to be in a place where there are a lot of people.  A lot of people equals a lot more blood, right? The temperature way up north can get extremely cold and it isn’t exactly a favourable location to set up shop.  Since it is so cold moving around and sucking blood in a thick winter jacket would be quite troublesome.. Who the hell would stay outside in that type of temperature anyways?  Especially during the night.

The days will get longer the further you go north.  There is even a time when the sun will not set at all and that should be one of their weakness right?  I know what a “midnight sun” looks like and it isn’t that bright at all.  But regardless, sunlight is still sunlight.  For accuracy purposes, I would say that vampires are weak towards ultraviolet waves.  I wouldn’t say inferred wave since we’re always being exposed to it constantly by the earth.  This is just some observation I made and there isn’t any sort of inconsistency with saying that vampires are weak towards sunlight.  It’s just me being more specific since I’m just like that (science student).

Oh right.  The anime seems decent.  Need more episodes for me to make a solid judgement to say whether or not it is good but I won’t be making a summary or anything in the future.

This post sucks.

These were the first two anime shows this year that really popped into my head from this year.  I did make a list last year that had Toradora! as well but it spanned into the new years so it isn’t exactly cheating.  I don’t think I followed that much anime this year.. maybe one or two each season.  The summer had a few more decent things… I think.. I don’t remember.  Fall lineup was a bit better as I watched a bit more but they weren’t great either.

Nyan Koi was also somewhat enjoyable.  Gotta love those twins.

Aside from anime, there are other things I did this year that I may or may not have blogged or tweeted about.

Stuff I did or remember from this year…

• Getting involved with the local fighting game scene.  Made a bunch of new friends and was very welcoming.  I don’t think there’s a better and tighter scene out there.
• My mp3 player stuck on permanent repeat… broken. ;_;
• Getting drunk with friends I haven’t really seen since high school.
• Realizing that I can graduate in less than two years if I don’t mess up.
• C4 (Central Canada Comic Con 2009).  Got to met people with similar interests and took a lot of good pictures.  Bayonetta and the girl in the red dress.  It was kind of funny because I might have seen the girl in the red dress in the halls at school.
• Started to use Twitter.
• Finally getting an arcade stick to play fighting games.  I should probably play more but I lack the motivation to get better at the moment.
• Not doing half the stuff I wanted to from my summer and New Year’s plan.
• Starting  to practice guitar again.  Finding that motivation to strive to get better.
• Finally watching K-ON!  I couldn’t get into it the first time but really enjoyed it once I got passed the first episode.
• Anime fans getting trolled by Haruhi season 2.
• Xtreme Tactics (Airsoft) for the first time ever.

Now for the video games!  I can’t say I have any favourites but there are quite a few that needs to be mentioned.

• Left4Dead2 – This was unexpected more difficult than the first one. I enjoy a good challenge and cooperative play is what makes the game much more fun. Still working towards the only achievement that matters.
• Tekken 6 – Easy game to pick up and have fun.  A lot of competition around.  Also, I am not that far behind from everyone… just lazy.
• Melty Blood: Actress Again – This is definitely an underdog fighting game since it appeals to a niche market.  No one plays it locally and without a net play component.  I am stuck just practicing combos and doing nothing.  I enjoy watching matchplay of this game and if it gets on the Evo2k10 game roster.  It would be so hype.
• Modern Warfare 2 –  What can I say?  It’s fun.  I raged hard in veteran mode when I was working towards 100% trophies.
• BlazBlue – It is a fun game.  However, the balanced wasn’t there.  The lack of local competition is what drew me off.  I didn’t have that much time to practice my gaming due to school and other personal reasons.  I really like this game too.

Disappointments

• King of Fighters XII – I wanted it to be a good game because it would have been a throwback to when I played KoF98 back in the laundromat back in junior high school.

Throwbacks, old games I dusted off to play again.

• Persona 4 – I still very much enjoy the game.  I’m on my third playthrough and I hope to complete my persona compendium this time around.
• Starcraft: Brood War – A friend of mine kept talking about the game and I just said without thinking, “ya, I can beat you..”  He tells me to bring it and I raped him 13 times.  I just started to play this recently but I think it just might be a temporary flavour and I will get bored of it in another week or so.

I guess I’ll make a list of resolutions for next year later on… we all know how well resolutions work out.

Here’s some Christmas music.

A nice little rendition of Last Christmas by Kotaro Oshio.

I hope I can get this song down before Christmas Day but I suck at guitar.

This week is another Necrofantasia remix but the composer is Demetori. They are known for their heavy metal sound and which can make stuff feel epic sometimes. Not a taste for everyone.

I’ll drop both the original and a cover here.

I like this particular one because it was one of the gateway songs that made me start listening to Touhou remixes. I’ve always liked the Necrofantasia remixes as a friend of mine always listen to Master Spark remixes.

Maybe next week I try to post more recent songs and/or covers.

This week is Necro Fantasia by Xi (AQUAELIE ~ Rapidity is a justice).

This song has a Mega Man X like sound to it.  Not that it is a bad thing because I’ve always been fond of the early Mega Man stage music, particularly Mega Man 2.

On a side note, Yukari is probably one of my favourite Touhou since, in many fan fictions, she is seen trolling other Touhou characters. How is that not awesome?
