Volunteering

Doing the volunteer work with the Japanese girls is pretty fun actually. Practicing Japanese as well as helping others learn/practice English is quite satisfying. I've also led my groups into first place in the majority of the contests without pushing them of course lol.
The girls are nice most of the time but today while I was sleeping in the bus they pulled the lever on my chair not once but twice! Waking me up of course. I'm usually in charge of safety stuff so I have to watch over them so they don't fall or get hurt. It's more common than you think.
Oh and we went to Lynnwood Valley or something near the Capilano suspension bridge. And tomorrow we'll be going to Stanley Park and Robson street, as well as nearby places of interest.
I've got to say that at least the days go by pretty fast and you have a lot of fun and are pretty tired by the end. But there's less time to work and work on projects! Ffff!!

PS: I also waste my time playing Monster Hunter lol... Dang. Gotta be productive again sometime.

Video/Music distractions. Don't forget to vote in the poll!

Hey look a poll

Never knew you could make a poll.
GET INVOLVED!!

Anyways I'll be heading off to my voluntary work with the Japanese girls in a bit so I thought I'd write a post on what I've been doing over the weekend! Well to start my friend and I managed to work on "Kill Soshi" a little. Mostly scripting and such but maaan I kind of don't want to do the illustrations and such for that VN cause I'd probably kill it, I'm not great with consistency, and laziness consumes the soul.

I also read "Monster Hunter Orage" over the weekend and it has a pretty cutefunfunny story. Irie is <3.
And I started to read the "Fairy Tail" manga. (Done by the same artist.) It's a little weird reading manga again because I haven't read a manga for about a year! (Not including doujinshis.)
I'm also drawing something which I'll probably release a stupid video on. Haha...
I should really work on that VN right...? The goal was by the end of summer right...?
I'm not going to finish am I? Haha...

Hey look I'm still in my pajamas and it seems like it's time to go! Ffff

Here's a Postly Cirno for you.

More Updates

So lately I've been playing Monster Hunter a lot. But tomorrow I should be working on my current VN project with my buddy who actually seems like he want to help for the time being. Other than that I've been working working and helping with the Japanese girls for some volunteer work. It's fun helping out and practicing some Japanese.
I also promise to practice drawing more so my illustrations for the VN and future works don't suck so much!!

I'm sure that a lot of you guys are aware of Star Craft 2 and how it's being officially released soon. I'll be getting it ASAP but I'm not gonna wait in midnight lines and do not want your free mouse! Hope to play with you guys.



And and! Touhou 12.8! Cirnooo! Woo!

Here's Unnamed Character 1 in some Rhenoplos Armour yay.

Current Animes

Here's the list of anime that I'm currently watching.
-Arakawa Under The Bridge
-Gakuen Mokushiroku: High School Of The Dead
-Kaichou Wa Maid-sama! 
-K-ON!!
-Okami Kakushi
-Seitokai Yakuindomo

Of course it's kinda hard to focus on all of them at the same time but I feel like putting "Arakawa Under The Bridge" in the spotlight. (Maybe because I'm watching it in a streak.) For those of you who have may not have already seen it or are currently watching it it was aired last season I think so it finished pretty recently. It's pretty funny so far though I've only been through 6 episodes. The characters are funny and art is pretty nice. For no obvious reason it reminds me of Bakemonogatari, don't ask me why. Maybe there's no reason lol.
Anyway I'd recommend it as something to watch if you have time.

Also Jhen+ farming go go go!! Gotta make some armour and upgrade these old weapons!

Richmond and stuff again

Went out to Richmond again today doing similar things to last week's trip. Ate lunch at 'Sui Sha Ya' sushi at Metrotown, went to Aberdeen to eat and look around at the cute girly clothing, and left to the Night Market to eat more squid tentacles! It was fun I guess but tiring. I also bought some ties at Daiso and my Mazazu Crepe stamp card has a total of 7 stamps! That's only 13 more until a free crepe! Yeah!!
I also wish my VN partner could at least be in contact with me! He's had no internet connection or anything in forever! (Forever being almost a week) I just hope he's gone through a few more visual novels and or has practiced his programming skills. I wouldn't be surprised if he had done nothing but oh well. Things have to keep moving with or without him! There is progress to be made!
So now I'm just tired. Here's your post and good night non-existent viewers!

Unnamed character 1 is enjoying her fresh Barioth armour!
Also no postly Cirno today. Maybe it'll be best to just post Cirno images every few posts.

Programming too?

Well my buddy who is supposed to do most of the programming is lacking commitment! So it looks like I'm gonna have to learn faster AND do all that other stuff that I originally had to do such as the art/illustrations, story, and finding music. Anyway it shouldn't be that bad. I guess it's better for me to screw up, make crap, and develop the skills needed to make a reasonable visual novel early.
Must draw more! I feel satisfied drawing simple or things that I can draw quickly even though they don't look that great so maybe that's why this VN is actually making some progress lol. I still need to find some music also so if any of you guys know where to find some free licensed music fire at me.

Oh and here's some random post relevant image/comic thing I may as well start. It's just to spice up posts in the future.

Unnamed character 1 is also angry that she cannot work on her blog visual novel because of her partner's lack of commitment! (It's all just an excuse for laziness!)

And of course, postly Cirno! I'm running out of Cirnos! Yeah there aren't even that many posts yet too!

Dying graphics card

The graphics card, it's exploding again! That just means good old default graphics card gets to be used! Yay. It's not nearly as great as the one that died but at least I can use the computer huh. What was I doing the last 14 hours you ask? Well it's called Monster Hunter Tri. Yeah that same Monster Hunter 3 that I've been talking about in  previous posts. It's still fun to play casually and whenever but come on I made a new character and grinded up to HR 20 today lol. Good stuff. It's nice being a noob again. Seeing everyone around you die all the time and taking about 250% more damage than you're used to is pretty nostalgic.
Oh you know what's nice? When high ranked people help out the new guys! I always love helping out noobies no matter what game it is. I just hope that they will return the favor to another noob in the future. It's a 'what goes around comes around' world in a lot games. Though it's not wrong to ignore and look down on people I guess.
Currently working on Barioth and Lagicrus armours for my noob. You know what else sucked? Getting disconnected twice after finding two good groups.

It was odd though how I took some offense when some guy called me a "Touhou fag." It's not the first time but I was oddly annoyed at him for that. He also called a bunch of other people by some other names which were I guess references to their names. It was annoying how he just keep talking and talking about references. I'm used to it but those people are just a pain sometimes.
And now I just decided that I'm not going to sleep so I'm not going to sleep.

-I've just hit 24 hours straight of playing MH3. Time just flew so fast! BAM 4 hours gone, BAM 10 hours, I must have zoned out and I feel kinda sick. I'm also hearing game sound effects and stuff occasionally lol.... I guess I'll sleep in a bit.
-Here's some more GW2 stuff. http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/ranger/
Rangers!

And for no apparent reason.

Here's your postly Cirno. Now leave!

Let's post

I feel like talking about the anime "Gakuen Mokushiroku: High School Of The Dead" which involves zombies and stuff like that for those of you who don't know. I think it's an interesting idea really, I've always wanted to watch a zombie anime! Maybe there are some other ones out there but this is the first one I've seen personally.

Here are the things I like about the anime so far: (Hopefully I'm not spoiling anything, and besides it's only been like two episodes. There is room for things to get better and or worse.)
+The zombie concept.
+The situation/setting, though it isn't that special. I guess it's because it's the first anime I've seen that reminds me of a nice zombie game.

The things I dislike:
-Some of the characters are really annoying! I guess it adds some extra drama to the anime but they're just... HURGH please please die, please.
-The ecchiness and the largeness. I'm just not a big fan, you should know that by now!

Not a big list but there are probably a few small things which I could add to both. I do look forward to finishing the series though. And if you'd like you could comment and tell me what you think.

Here, I'm sure you may have already seen this on my DA account but anyways here's a little teaser on the VN I'm currently focused on, "Kill Soshi." Just a test main menu, and mostly practice. Though I'll share with you guys that Soshi is a character in another project which my friend and I are working on. I've sort of been everywhere when working on stuff lately so It's hard to focus. So anyways "Kill Soshi" is probably the shortest VN project that I have right now which means a higher chance of success and an opportunity to practice and develop skills that are needed to improve future projects.

Hmm let's see what else... I still need to find a person/people who would be willing to assist the VNs by making music. Oh also if anyone knows what "CG" stands for please tell me. I'm not exactly sure what "CG" is but I have some ideas. 

Don't you guys just love long posts. Isn't it much more satisfying than a short post filled with random videos and pictures of Cirno? You know what? I like long posts too so I'm trying to extend the the length of this post by typing more. Really I guarantee you guys that there will be short, meaningless, boring posts in the future. But I'll also guarantee you that I can post some fun interesting things too! And fan-service? Don't you guys love fan-service? I'm not sure what kind of fan-service you want though. Oh well, let's leave that for another day.

Postly Cirno is getting harder and harder to post due to problems finding interesting Cirno images in my H-free hard drive! Just kidding~

Also according to Google Anatylictytics I should have at least 14 unique visitors, 243 visits, and 845 page views! But I still need that counter at the bottom to hit 99 before Mintz is satisfied.
(Yes on purpose, if you see any typos THAT BAD it's probably on purpose!)

Summer days

Over the past few days I've mostly been watching various animes so I haven't been posting much. Other than that I went to the Night Market, a few malls, and worked on a VN with a friend. As well as drawing a tiny bit here and there. Nothing too big!
Oh and man I started a new project AGAIN! Seriously it's gonna affect my other works negatively but I think this one will be short... Anyway it's a fun one and hopefully it can be done in under a month.

Edit: I also managed to finish "NHK Ni Yokoso!" today. It's a nice anime. It also managed to give me some motivation for my projects, just a little bit. The story and characters were nice too.

Maybe I shouldn't post lol there isn't a lot to post about! Random videos, too bad!

Postly Cirno is up. Wait.. I hope that's Cirno.

Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Mao

So I finished watching the series yesterday and I'm only posting today because I'm trying not to post multiple things in a single day or add a section to an old post. It was chaotic to watch the last few episodes but it was fun nonetheless. I'd recommend it as something fun to watch without an intense storyline. The characters were nice, I think my favorite character is Keena.
-Oh look it's 12:05AM, I can post today!

Anyways later I should be working on my VN with a friend. We're both total noobs so it will be interesting working on a project. I'll post it up on the Blog if ever gets finished lol. Wish us luck!
Also man is it hot. I dunno the temp right now but I sleep half naked without a fan which may actually help but it's hot. Happy summer!

Random videos.

Postly Cirno has been posted today. That looks yummy.

Noob

So I was playing some games and mentioned the word "noob" when I was talking about myself then someone comes up to me and tells me that I should have said "newb." They told me "newb" is used for new players while "noob" is used for annoying people. I guess it would vary between people or maybe it's written up somewhere, I dunno. To me the words "noob," "newbs," and all words that are alike mean the same or well all of those meanings. To be a new player, to be annoying, etc. It's just how it's put into context personally.

Oh in other news I hit HR 51 in Monster Hunter 3 last night yay. I managed to kill Alatreon multiple times beforehand though and forged a hammer lol. So now I'm just making armour sets and helping people out!

Awesome song. Currently watching anime.

Daily Postly Cirno with Flandre? This means I can post postly Cirnos with other characters now?! Alright!

Wasted Time

Have you guys ever thought about what if you had been doing something different with those hundreds and hundreds of hours you've spent on those those console game and well video games in general. Yeah it's good if you enjoyed your time or if you learned something but I was just thinking to myself again. If I spent all that time doing something like drawing or exercising I could probably have something more valuable for myself rather than having some level 9999 or having a crap load of achievements. It kinda makes me wish I could go back in time and instead of wasting my time playing games. I could be a much much better artist or even a musician if I spent that time being productive! Oh well I'm not really angry I'm just thinking about how much there would be in my talents and such. You'd also have to keep in mind how it may change your personality and your knowledge if you didn't waste your time playing games. I guess the time isn't really wasted huh. Anyways random post is now over! I'm sure the grammar may be off on this post if any in particular, I feel dazed.

Cirno is disappointed in your wasted time! (Mine too!) Now gimme some hits!

Back from Camping 1

So anyways I'm back from all the sitting in the car, sleeping in the car, going to Mcdonalds, lazing around in the tent, being pushed around by the wind, standing in the rain, laying on the beach, walking through the trails, and and, hey look! It's the fourth of July! I'm unsure what holiday it is but I'm sure it is a holiday of some sort, and I'm too lazy to look it up but happy whatever day today!
Well camping was fun but I expected us to be in a more wild area. We stayed up somewhere in the Okanagan so of course we had to do some wine testing. Being me I didn't drink any alcohol of course lol. And we didn't exactly 'camp' the whole time. We just stayed at our camp after doing various things around the Okanagan.
I don't like eating Mcdonalds but three of the people that were there had Premium card for working at Mcdonalds so whenever we were on the road we would eat there. Other than Mcdonalds I ate various junk food which I packed and some that my friends packed, I didn't eat a lot in general though.
The amount of mosquitoes on the trail was quite annoying. I only got about three bites this trip. Around the camp it was fine because we had insect repellents of some sort.
Other than going around into the wild, going to beaches, and doing to wineries and such I just lazed in the usually warm tent. We played Big Two and other various card games late into the nights and watched Kick Ass and Ninja Assassin, both were fun to watch.
Also I was hoping for there to be lolis so I also made sure to flip over some rocks and look behind trees in hopes of finding Wild Lolis. No success. So I think I'll go unpack and shower now. Here's some pictures to keep you occupied.

Also SNAP only one view! It's not a big deal though I just like to talk about the hit counts.
