So, I might try to make one of these every month from now on.  Hopefully I'll have enough to talk about next month.

To get enough content in and to make these look cleaner and more appealing to the eye, I'm going to split these posts into sections called "corners" like the "Audio Corner," for example.

Soundcloud?

I got a hold of one of the Pokemon soundfonts awhile back and remixed some of my songs that were originally written to emulate the style of the soundtracks from the games, but there are certain copyright issues keeping me from uploading any of it here since the soundfont is (I believe) a direct rip from the games.  I haven't tried uploading any of the songs using the soundfont here, nor will I try as I would like to avoid having any issues with this account.  So I might make a "throw-away" Soundcloud account to upload the songs just so that a few of you who could care can hear them.

Current works-in-progress

I'm working on remastering and finishing up some songs for my first album making use of FL Studio, Celestial Ambience.  I've uploaded two abridged versions of songs that will be on there to my account here - for example:

which will be slightly longer.  I'm pushing for an 11 song album, which I'm planning to use as a standard for album lengths.

I'm also still doing a collaboration with LichLord on an Industrial song that was sort of an homage to his style; his part of the collab is dealing with vocals and the production end.  Once he's content with a vocal recording that he feels is final product worthy, the song should be ready for uploading here.

What is J'Rob playing?

So, I finally got Skyrim via Steam back in late December during all the sales (I picked up the Legendary Edition since it was 66% off)...I used to think it wouldn't be that fun of a game to play, but then...lesson learned: don't think - try it.  (You thought I was going to make an "arrow to the knee" joke, didn't you?)

Needless to say, I'm now level 75 with Dragon Armor.  Once I hit about level 51, I had maxed out my Smithing and Block, and almost maxed out my Heavy Armor; after making a set of Dragon Armor and weapons, I proceeded to level grind using giants, making my Heavy Armor and Block legendary a couple times.  As for major questlines, I've beaten the main quest with the dragons, the civil war quest (supporting the Stormcloak side), and the Dragonborn DLC quest.  I'm currently working on the Thieves' Guild questline and whatever questline the Dragon Cult masks are part of (which includes one of the Mages' College quests).

The Weeaboo Corner

(Yes, I am doing a Weeaboo Corner.)

Probably should've been in the Gaming Corner,

but fuck it.  During the Steam Summer Sales, I downloaded the game Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.  It's basically an RPG where you have to run a shop to pay off a massive debt, and to get stuff to sale, you have to buy from wholesalers, hire an "Adventurer" to fight through dungeons for items to sale, or haggle prices from customers who want to sell stuff to you.  The reason why this isn't in the Gaming Corner is because the characters are basically drawn in the manga/anime style, and the dialogue, story content is very anime-esque (it's also very moe).  I'm currently only about 2 hours in for gameplay time and it seems pretty fun to play.

What anime is J'Rob watching?

Currently, Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! is in the second season (Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren) and I'm caught up with the current episode (as of right now, it's at the fourth episode, and new episodes air every Wednesday, and unofficial translation teams put out subtitles within 24 hours).  So far I'm liking the new season (episode 4 was filler, though...but still okay).  I recommend this anime (I'd give it a 8/10).

I'm also going through the second season of K-On!...and I have no idea why...

Don't get me wrong - it's pretty good and I'm liking it...but why did I start watching this again?  It's about a "light music" club, so I can relate to the music stuff in there, but it focuses more on the daily lives of the club members, who are all high school shoolgirls.  So my question is, "how the fuck does this have the 'seinen' tag?"  The artstyle definitely isn't anywhere close to the shitty shoujo anime/manga style, but how is it even seinen?  Despite that, I'd also give this series a solid 8/10 rating.

Well, that's about all I'm going to do for a newspost this month.

Here's a semi-random music video choice.
