What is J'Rob listening to?

I found a couple interesting metal bands from East Asia from some rather odd related video suggestions.

Blood Stain Child - an electronic/metal band from Japan

IIRC, I found this one first.  Yes, the lyrics are in English - they had a vocalist who was from Greece sing with them for a while.

 

Chthonic - a metal band from Taiwan that incorporates Taiwanese mythos and history in their lyrics/themes, and use East Asian instruments alongside the standard metal instruments

 

I've also gotten back into listening to a bit of Allan Holdsworth.

If you have no idea who Allan Holdsworth, you're a massive fucking pleb/deaf, and should listen to him ASAP to cure your pleb-ishness

What is J'Rob working on?

So my roommate has a guitar (sadly not a 7-string, but it is a custom Ibanez), and we got some equipment and figured out how to set everything up to record directly into FL Studio.  So guitar in my music in the future a possibility?  Quite likely.  (The Hardcore effect plugin has some interesting presets I want to use)

What games is J'Rob playing?

Team Fortress 2

Lately, I've been playing quite a bit of MVM.  I've done a couple tours of Operation Two Cities in hopes for an australium weapon or at least a decent professional killstreak fabricator; so far I haven't gotten any, but I have gotten a couple good specialized kit fabricators.  I did a full tour of Oil Spill and was lucky enough to get a Blood Botkiller Stickybomb Launcher from completing it. I started doing Operation Two Cities with medic as my main, but recently I've been going as a scout main with a couple perfect runs as a money scout.

I still main as solly in normal PvP; I've been wanting an australium rocket launcher for this reason, too.  The strange killstreak launcher I currently use is now Epic (5000+ kills).  I'm also gathering samurai cosmetics for my soldier loadout; I used the parts I got from MVM to make a specialized killstreak kit to put on a strange Half-Zatoichi.

Currently my rocket launcher is at 5604 kills, and my concheror is at 1927 uses

This is what I currently run:

(the disciplinary action can be horrifyingly good in control point and payload race games)

This is the loadout I really want to have (implement mp4/WebM support already, Tom, dammit):

What anime is J'Rob watching?

I haven't many decent opportunities to watch anime, so my backlog is just piling up worse.  But so far, what I need to finish is:

• Gj-bu
• Gurren Lagann
• Suzumiya Haruhi
