Positives, negatives and everything in between fickraken

So I had the fortunate opportunity to volunteer for Bushiroad's Springfest Regionals the past weekend. I was a Floor Judge on Saturday for Vanguard, and a mere Runner for Weiss Schwarz and Buddyfight (too noob at those games to clarify rulings lol)

A lot of people yelling JADGE, the nightmares are real now.

Very crowded lot for Vanguard Teamfest, with about 261 contestants. Also the thirst for Maiden of Flower Screens were real..... SCALPERS

Aside from a few disputes and people getting their stuff stolen (only happened on Vanguard day, and 3 times no less!) overall it was a very fun weekend and got to meet a lot of people and while I was unable to play or trade anyone it was enjoyable chatting up with others and clearing rulings.

Managed to get all this loot for compensation for volunteering as well, which was pretty cool:



Also got $93 worth of amazon.ca gift credit and other Love Live Weiss Schwarz shit that should be coming in, WOOOORTH.

Huh, I'm actually surprised that there's tournaments for that stuff on our side of the globe.

I'm upset there aren't any over here.

Mayor? This is news to me - I don't remember having to take a train to the apartment, or talking to a cat on the way, and my landlord won't be a racoon (thank God).

My neighbors won't be animals either, as the complex allows no pets.

This might allow me to turn over a New Leaf tho.

Bahahahaha! xD

Pos: OMG Sui that set! Very nostalgia such awesome wow

Sliv and Taiyz reminded me that I had Skype..... Oops

Also @ Taiyz only Toronto and Vancouver has these annually in Canada
Met some guys who drove half a day trips just to enter, so cool.

What the f***: Seriously, after all the shit you said about my uncle as he's been in the hospital and we assumed he was going to die, about him having "wasted his life" and blah blah blah...

WHY DO YOU KEEP FUCKING COMPARING ME TO HIM, and just now say that you want me to make friends and shit and I mean what the f***. You think I WANT to be stuck in a life where the only friends I have are online? You think I actually ENJOY this? No, I'm moving out of your fucking house because I want my life to GO SOMEWHERE. I'm SICK of this shit. If I stay here then I WILL be alone, FOREVER. So just SHUT THE f*** UP and WHY would you even GO there!?

[/rant] Sorry guys I just needed to get that out of my system.

I think someone is worried about you.

And yes, moving out is a great idea.

Bittersweet Pos?:

Translation of Mushoku Tensei Web Novel is completed, and there marks the end of the chronicle of the Quagmire. 'See ya' indeed, Rudeus Greyrat.

Now to wait for Yen Press or something to take up the Light Novel so I can get a physical copy of this joyful biography of a perverted genius polygamist.

Why doesnt this forum has a thread for LN/WN again? It's pretty much a weeab's hideout, isn't it?

Don't say the W-word, it's racist.

Also does anybody besides you read online translations of light novels here? The only light novels I've really ever bothered to get into were the .hack ones, and Kino no Tabi but Tokyopop's defunct and they also pissed off the Japanese publisher somehow so the latter got canceled.

Either way, we're not fascists here, you can, y'know, make a thread yourself.

I only read like, 3 LN series.

Campione and Index.

I stopped reading SAO at some point in the middle of Alicization.

Finished Chrome Shelled Regios.

I know. It just really struck a nerve. It's not like I have zero offline friends by CHOICE, or that it doesn't BOTHER me that I have no friends. This is something that's with me constantly that I try to push to the back of my mind or it will eat away at me. Even saying what my mother did was unintentionally cruel.

Yes. Yes it is. OMG the place is like, almost perfect. The location isn't great but the apartment itself is practically everything I could possibly want.

Pos: Lease signed, deposit paid, several boxes already packed.

Negative: Work as been so slow lately. :X
Positive: Going to Germany in August.
Positive: Long weekend.

Well, I finally made a playlist for Assassin's Creed's musical trailers. I left out ACIII because although it seems like they had licensed music, it was instrumental and not very impactful, I think they also had a trailer with the American national anthem (might've been Amazing Grace, think that trailer came out on Independence Day.) I also don't think I've explored all the AC trailers yet so there may be others, but these are all the ones I have seen (fun fact: I had completely forgotten about the Horizon trailer for Black Flag, I actually found it while compiling the others, but YouTube claims I have watched it.) There's also technically a second musical trailer for Rogue omitted for the same reason, there's a vocal-less trailer for the original game featuring a cello track, don't know if that was licensed or not.

Why did I compile this list? Because it's nostalgia supreme. A lot of these trailers (excluding the Revelations, Unity and Syndicate ones) were overlooked by most of the community because they weren't reveals or E3 trailers, but they're easily one of the most iconic things that stand out in my mind when I reminisce about the series. It's also a rather startling journey through the previous generation of both game engines and YouTube compression (ignoring Revelations and Unity, again.) Enter Rome is also probably one of the greatest video game trailers ever, IMO.

Anyway, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ixr2q8bHo8&list=PLTKxKzJFxO1VlCHa3xHl7zzRS4m45IoyE

Neg: My neck still hurts. Wat.

Having no offline friends can be a sensitive thing for me at times but I just remind myself that new opportunities are right around the corner.
