NEW NEWSPOST

FUCKING YAY

(No more Nonon, sadly)

Audio Corner

What is J'Rob listening to?

I never did show off my Emperor CD's that I got recently on here, did I?  Well, here they are:

And Ihsahn:

I think I may as well say Emperor is my favorite band now.  They're practically the perfect mix of Black Metal and Progressive Metal (progressive mostly on Prometheus, their best album, in my opinion), and I really like more progressive music.

Current works-in-progress:

I don't really have too much I'm working on right now.  I just recently released something I started working on in late June and finished in about a week on here:

Other than that, I'm currently finishing up a sequel to my second A.I.M. piece from this year.  Expect to see it soon.

Gaming Corner

What games is J'Rob playing?

Well, after the Steam Summer Sale 2014 event made a dent in my wallet, I have acquired about 25 or so new games, went up about 25 steam levels (and of course badges and trading cards), and from the badge crafts to gain those levels, emoticons, backgrounds, n' shit.  A couple notable games I picked up are:

• Agarest: Generations of War Zero (weeb game with waifus)
• Castle Crashers
• Chantelise (another weeb game)
• Killing Floor
• The Portal games

TF2:

I've been playing a lot of TF2 as of late; I've switched around playing different classes, playing a lot of one for a while, then going to another.  I've learned how to properly play the team medic, trying to keep the ENTIRE TEAM healed, and making sure the WHOLE TEAM IS OVERHEALED SOMEWHAT at the start of the round, so that they can absorb the first push much easier so that the engineers have more time to set-up and whatnot.  Pro-tip: don't be the idiot medic that sticks to the heavy the entire game, ignoring when your teammates call for aid - your team will do a lot worse when you do that.

I've also been playing soldier alot recently.  I've been working my way towards getting a Hale's Own (standard) Rocket Launcher and Concheror.  Currently, I'm at 1738 kills on the rocket launcher (Rage-Inducing Killstreak Rocket Launcher), and 553 uses on the Concheror (Wicked Nasty Concheror) - it'll be some time before they're Hale's Own.  I play more of a support soldier (but still somewhat offensive, since I don't use the Fag Box, which is better when running one of the other buff horns), but I usually end up being on the front line, so I use the stock (the strange killstreak one) rocket launcher.

Also, @nor is jealous of all my lucky cosmetic drops >:D (nor gets a mention :3)

Weeaboo Corner

I have ALOT to talk about anime-related.  So much that I'm really going to hate the fucking 20 image cap.

Probably should've been in the Gaming Corner

but fuck it.  I mentioned that I got Agarest: Generations of War Zero in the Steam Summer Sale.  That is a prequel to the game I've been playing recently, Agarest: Generations of War.  The game is basically about a war stretched over a couple generations, and at the end of each generation, you pick one of three female characters to waifu, which will determine the protagonist of the next generation. haven't gotten too far yet, but what I can tell you is that ELLIS IS FUCKING GOING TO BE FIRST WAIFU

Ok, so it turns out that Ellis isn't waifu-able...proving the most annoying law of the cosmos that best girl can never win (defied only by Inaba Himeko and who knows what select few) once again.  Babies are going to be flipped because of this.  So my second choice after her is:

Luana

I'm still pissed that best girl can't win, though.

What anime is J'Rob watching?

"Nagi no Asukara"

THIS GETS TOP MENTION BECAUSE I POSTED THIS ON MIUNA MONDAY

I finished this one a week ago...I FUCKING LOVED IT - 10/10 ANIME.  It also has best girl, Shiodome Miuna:

And don't forget Mukaido Manaka ʘ‿ʘ

10:10 PM - [ClantagsAreGay] Nor: ʘ‿ʘ

10:10 PM - [ClantagsAreGay] Nor: le manaka face

ʘ‿ʘ  ʘ‿ʘ  ʘ‿ʘ  ʘ‿ʘ  ʘ‿ʘ

(this post is no longer lacking in Mukaido Manaka, and now you know what that spam was all about)

This is a rather difficult anime to sum up; four middle school students from one of the sea villages have to go to school on shore since their middle school underwater was closed.  The people from the sea and the land don't quite get along too well at the start.  Season 2 takes place a couple years in the future, and I can't really say much more without spoiling the anime too much.

Also, there's a ritual to the sea god that plays a vital role throughout the series.

"Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica"

This anime is the epitome of the statement "don't judge a book by it's cover."  I originally stayed away from this one because >mahou shoujo, but after watching the series, I realized how bad of an idea that was, and will likely never not at least give an anime a chance before completely writing it off as being bad, especially after recently finishing the Rebellion movie.

Trust me - just watch it.  It's a 10/10 masterpiece of an anime.

>pics related

"Neon Genesis Evangelion"

Sevkat kept telling me I needed to watch this one, so I did.  It's also a rather old anime (mid-90's).  I really liked it, save for episodes 25 and 26 (the ending of the series is a notorious mindfuck).  I also avoided this one for a while because >mechas.  This isn't anything like Gundam or the sort at all; the basis of the story is that humans are under attack from a mysterious enemy called "angels," which are incredibly large, and can cause large amounts of destruction while being protected by a forcefield referred to as the "AT field."  To combat the angels, the evas were built, which are about the same size as most of the angels, and have weapons that can penetrate the angels' AT fields; the evas are piloted by children at the age of 14, who are the main characters of the series.  Overall, this is your basic 10/10 weebcore right here (you don't really have to be weeb to watch this - this isn't one of those "hide your powerlevel" animes).

I'll add more about other anime/manga series I'm currently watching/reading later since I'd like to have this up before Miuna Monday is over.

That about wraps up this month's newspost.  Now here's some obsure music I listen to:

Some weeb music, too:

(don't mind the Spanish subs on this one - it's the highest quality embeddable one I could find)
