Otaku RPG: Fallacy 5

*The slaver base on the other side of the village*
--------------------------------------------------------
*A woman in an elaborate leather outfit sits in a tent. On each side of her, a man fans her with a palm leaf. Her feet rest on a man on his hands and knees. Next to one of the men stands a woman covered in leather straps with a blindfold over her eyes and gauntlets with blades protruding from them.*

*A glass-wearing girl carrying a huge pair of scissors on her back walks in.*

Glass-Wearing Girl: Lady Hilda, the raid was a success. We captured roughly 50 suitable men. But-

*Hilda sits upright.*

Hilda: But what, Mari?

Mari: One of our squads didn’t return and the predators have reported an encampment on the other side of the town.

*The insane-looking one in the leather straps stirs.*

Gwenyth: Should I deal with them?

Hilda: Hmmm . . . What do you think, Mari-?

*Mari is teasing a man with her scissors. He flinches as the blades glide just over his skin.*

Mari: Heh heh. Keep very still! Otherwise, my fingers might just slip-

Hilda: Mari! For the last time, don’t mess up the merchandise!

Gwenyth: *Ahem* Your orders?

Hilda: Let’s welcome them to the neighborhood. Heh heh.

*They head out and their army of male slaves armed with crappy swords (if anything) led by women in outfits similar to Hilda’s wielding whips begins to march. Several women dressed similarly to Gwenyth gather around her before they disappear.*

WTF Mate? 7/24/07

Sorry guys, but no DoS IRCast this week. Anyways . . .

Scary Fact #1: Us gals don't like shota . . . scary, fourty-year old, balding, ugly men do.

Otaku RPG: Fallacy 4

*Outside a mid-sized town a few days later*
------------------------------------------------------
*Sayoko, Francis, Magnus, and several lesser officers stand around a map of the area around the town.*

Francis: I suggest we send a diversionary force to the front and moon them until they puke. Then, we can sneak around to the back entrance and-

Sayoko: You’re gay, aren’t you?

Francis: WHAT?! Where the hell did that come from?!

Sayoko: Well, you have an affinity for rear doors . . .

Francis (mouth wide): . . . . .

Magnus: W-we could hurl burning chunks at them before rushing in.

Sayoko: You sick son of a bitch. Where are we gonna get that much puke?!

Magnus: T-that’s n-n-not w-what I m-m-m-m-meant.

Sayoko: Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

*Screams come from outside. The group rushes out.*

*As Sayoko, Magnus, and Francis step out of the tent, they witness a scene of total chaos. Sayoko's soldiers are desparately fighting off crazy women leaping about in bondage gear and men bound by shackles. They're losing, though, because the enemy has claws while they only have . . . staves?*

Sayoko: . . . Why the hell are our men fighting with sticks?

Francis: Staves.

Sayoko: . . . I see i'm not going to get a good answer out of you. Magnus, attack!

Magnus: J-jesus christ, lady, I'm not a pokemon!

Sayoko: JUST DO IT!

*Magnus hurls lightning bolt after lightning bolt at the enemies until the immediate area is littered with Kentucky Fried Wierdos.*

Sayoko (picking up one of the surviving enemies, a male): Where did you come from?

Guy (pointing to the town): T-the other side.

Sayoko: That's it? No resistance? No defiant glare? No lies?

Guy: They don't pay me well . . .

Sayoko: Alright then . . .

Sayoko (to Francis): Kill him.

Francis (raising his weapon): With pleasure.

Guy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*Francis brings down his weapon without mercy.*

*Thump*

Sayoko: Thump?

Francis: Errr . . .

Sayoko: Did you just try to kill him with a stick?

Francis: Staff.

Sayoko: Whatever! It's a big-ass dildo for all I care! Now shut up before I show you how to use one the hard way!

Francis: Eep!

Sayoko: Bah! March! We're going to pay our neighbors a visit.

*Sayoko and her army march away.*

Guy: Umm, guys? I'm not dead, just paralyzed from the neck down . . . Hello? Guys? God damn it. Oh well. I still saved money on my ca-

Francis (lunging at the cripple): RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Things I Hate: Movie Games

For every good (or even bad) movie, there's a flaming, putrid turd of a game.

You remember all those Pixar movies, right? Y'know, like Monsters Inc. and shit? Well, a few days after ya see da movie, you see a commercial on TV sayin' something about a video game. Now, most parents and idiots think, "WOW this shit is awesome! I'd better get it." A few days later, some hapless child or random idiot puts the game into their PS2 and . . . .

"WTF is this shit?"

You turn on the game and it's alright. Nothing special, but it'll hold you over for a few hours. Then, the cheap cutscene plays. Wait . . . that's not (insert actor's name here)'s voice! Who the fuck is this?!

Then, the actual game starts. Alright, you have to . . . escape the stage? Alright, I can collect some (insert movie-related collectible here) to get "special" features like clips from THE FUCKING MOVIE THAT YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN! Gameplay? Take your pick: platformer, beat-em'-up, or the occasional shooter?

Not a very good set of options, is it?

Well, the platformers aren't about jumping from platform to platform so much as they're about jumping, missing the ledge due to shitty placement and camera, and dying. The beat-em'-ups aren't any better. It's like Dynasty Warriors cept' in slow motion and with equally sluggish controls. Shooters? Well, someone's getting shot, and it's not the enemies.

The ironic thing about movie games? They make lots o' cash, which is a testament to the rather stupid masses who don't learn the first time.

The moral? Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: Geeknights Thursdays

The General Idea: "Throwaway Thursdays" as Rym and Scott like to call em'. Whatever doesn't fall under Science, Tech, Video Games, Board Games, Anime, Manga, or Comics ends up on this feed. They pick a topic and . . . well, talk about it. You know, share experiences, give insight, etc.

Style: Well-organized. Geeknights Thursdays isn't a comedy podcast, but you'll get the occasional laugh from their well-placed in-jokes. Rym and Scott do news, but unlike most podcasters who do news, they actually have something interesting to say when they do it. Simply put, they tell you something you don't know or say something worthwhile about something you do know about. The podcast is structured into a few consistent segments. After the short opening and preliminary comments, they go into news followed by things of the day, which are awesome things they find on the internet. After that, they go in-depth on their topic for the day and end with show-related info.

Substance: Here's where the goodies lie. The news on this show isn't something you just nod off to or fast forward by. It actually makes you think. Quite an accomplishment, i'd say. Things of the day tend to be hit or miss, but are usually reliable sources of entertainment. Regardless of their main topic, there's always something new to learn (or another perspective to consider) when listening to this podcast. Sometimes, the idea is to inform newbies and sometimes, it's to go deep on a subject. Works either way.

Hosts: Rym and Scott can form cohesive sentences unlike a good deal of the podcasters out there. They can speak clearly and express their ideas with the same clarity. Though they do go off on tangents and Scott tends to raise rather odd arguments from time to time, these factors rarely detract from the show. They won't tell you shit you already know, which is a huge plus in my book.

Sound Quality: Earlier episodes have passable (though certainly not bad) sound quality. Everything else (barring interviews and non-studio recorded material)is of superb quality. No complaints here.

Episodes This Review Is Based On: All Geeknights Thursdays episodes prior to 7/19/07.

Recommended Episodes: This is a toughie. It really depends on your tastes since the episodes are very topical. Just find ones you like and listen to those first.

Release Rate: Usually every Thursday.

Overall: 5/5 Top-Tier

Otaku RPG: Fallacy 3

Magnus: N-n-no! I-I am a m-m-mage.

Sayoko: O Rly?

Magnus: Y-Ya R-R-Rly.

Sayoko: Alright then, let’s see your powers, but tell you what. You’re going to show our men what you can do. Succeed, and you’ll be my right-

Francis: Ahem.

Sayoko: *Sigh* Left hand man.

Magnus: R-really?

Sayoko: BUT, there’s a catch. If you don’t live up, I’ll have them chop off your legs before impaling you and leaving you to rot. Off we go!

*In front of the barracks*
-------------------------------------
*Several hundred soldiers stand at attention while Sayoko, Francis, and Magnus face them.*

Sayoko (pointing to a huge boulder): Well?

Magnus: O-okay.

*He holds his hand toward the boulder. For a moment, his hand glows with a scarlet aura.*

Sayoko: . . . Well, that was lame.

*Suddenly, a fireball the size of a giant’s torso bursts out of a seal on Magnus’ palm, obliterating the boulder and raining debris everywhere.*

Sayoko: I think we have our winner!

*Just as everyone starts cheering, another fireball rips through the air, detonating in front of a group of soldiers.*

Sayoko (to Magnus): What the fuck are you doing?!

Magnus: Fireball . .. Fireball! FIREBALL!!!!!!!

*He sprays the area with fireballs. Soldiers and civilian spectators alike flee in terror.*

*After a few minutes, Magnus collapses.*

Francis: At least he’s powerful . . .

Sayoko: . . .

*SLAP*

Otaku RPG: Fallacy 2

On the 153rd day of the 9998th year of the celestial calendar, Lord . . . umm whatever his name is was thrown into the dungeon of homoerotic agony never to be seen again.

*Sayoko sits on a throne-ish chair, observing her new servants when a man in fancy military armor runs into the room.*

General: You called, milady?

Sayoko: About fucking time you got here, General . . . err . . .

General: Francis. Francis, the Lord of Staves.

Sayoko: Staves? That's the lamest thing I’ve ever heard!

Francis: Well, blades, bows, and spears were taken and I wanted to be original . . .

Sayoko: . . . Moving on, I want you to gather the mightiest warriors of this realm and bring them to me!

Francis: Alright . . .

*Half an hour later*

Sayoko: What?! I tell you to bring the best of the realm and you bring me this collection of rejects?!

Francis: Well, the previous lord already drove out our best warriors so . . .

Sayoko: Oh great. I might as well be picking teams in Special Ed.

*Sayoko closes her eyes, spins around, and randomly points at one of the “warriors” Francis brought.*

*Her finger lands on a somewhat muscular man with a longsword on his back.*

Sayoko: Who are you and why the hell should I hire you?

Alfonso: I am Alfonso. I want to defend the world against the evils that plague-

Sayoko: Next!

*A klutzy girl stumbles up to her*

Sayoko: Well?

Angela: I’m Angela. I’m a seemingly helpless girl, but in reality, I’ve descended from an ancient race of celestials and have hidden powers beyond mortal-

Sayoko: Francis! What does the scouter say about her BS level?

Francis: It’s over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sayoko: WHAT 9000?!

Angela: So . . . . do I get the job?

Sayoko: . . . Get out.

*A gruff man wearing heavy armor and carrying a large blade steps forward*

Sayoko (yawning): You interview him, Frenchie.

Francis: I’m not a Frenchie, you demented bit-

*SLAP*

Francis: *Sniff* Please stop! Frenchie will be good! Frenchie promises! Errrr . . . . (to the newcomer) Why should we hire you?

Boris: I like swords.

Francis: Fair enough. What is your defining characteristic?

Boris: I like swords.

Francis: I see . . . And your previous experience in this field?

Boris: I like swords.

Francis: Outstanding! I think we’ve found our-

*SLAP*

Sayoko: Next!

*An angst-ridden teen slithers up to the “throne”*

Sayoko: What’s so special about you?

Teen: My life is a living hell. They try to make me something I’m not. My blood boils every time I think about it. How they imprisoned me. How they rejected me. How they left me to-

Sayoko: Blah. Blah. Blah. ALL parents are like that, so either grow a pair or get out, Shinji.

*Finally, a twitching being hidden under red robes moves forth, his hands grasping his robes.*

Sayoko: I swear if you flash me, I’m gonna chop your flashlight off and give it to Mr. Angstfest over there.

The Life of a Japanese Schoolgirl part 4

OOS (Out of story): Welp, Life of a Japanese Schoolgirl is back! Let's see what our unnamed heroine's been up to.
-----------------------------------

July 14, 2007

Dear diary, today, I got out of rehab. To celebrate, one of mom's "friends" got me a computer!
After spending an hour installing Windows 95, I decided to investigate the wonderous internet.
Everyone at school told me of all sorts of cool things like "IM", and "Myspace", and "cybering".

I had remembered something Fujiko told me. www.lemonparty.org, I think. I thought I'd check it out!
After starting up AOL, I heard something that sounded like my computer was having an orgasm . . . or an epileptic shock.
Anyways, once I got online, I entered the adress and waited.

And Waited.

And Waited.

And Waited.
---------------------------
July 15, 2007

This morning I woke up to find that AOL finally downloaded the site! Yay!

But.

What I saw had nothing to do with lemons but was a party all right.

Just then, my mom walked in.

For some reason, she nodded like she was understanding something, turned around, and left the room.

Ummm . . .I guess the next stop on the internet Fujiko suggested is something called "4chan".

I'll check it out tomorrow.
-----------------------------
July 16, 2007

Dear diary, today, I took a look at 4chan.

At first, I thought it was cute and stuff with /a/ and /an/, but once I got to /b/ . . .
-----------------------------
July 17, 2007

W-w-why is everyone so mean? Everyone's calling me bitch and whore and /b/tard!

There're funny things on /b/, though. Desu!

Things I Hate: Generic Anime Podcasts

Ever looked on itunes and typed in "anime"?

It's a doozy, ain't it?

Sure, some of em' have cool soundin' names, but once you listen to them, it goes something like this:

Host: *breathes heavily* Uh um errr Hi *eats a cookie* this is umm uh *one minute pause* my podcast.

*Plays an hour long shitty jpop song from some popular but crappy anime.*

Host: We uh . . uh . . . uh . . . have some um news.

*Reads off shit from Anime News Network none of us give a rat's ass about; probably a half-hour long list of anime releases that no one gives a damn about too.*

Host: Um . . . promo time!

*Plays a promo for another shitty anime podcast that's probably been dead for a year.*

Host: Um . . . yeah . . . well . . . I'm uh um reviewing um Naruto. Naruto is about . . . Naruto. It's um awesome. *Spends an hour reading the god damn Wikipedia article on Naruto.* Go buy . . . um rent . . um . . . torrent it.

Co-host (interrupting): *Insert lame in-joke here*

*Everyone laughs and repeats this process for an eternity before they accidentally stop recording.*
-------------------------------
Yeah, not cool. So thus, my rant begins.

1. NO ONE gives a fuck about Naruto. (At least not enough to listen to a review of it on a fucking podcast).
2. News is ass. If we wanted to know about new releases and anime-related scandals, we'll do it our fucking selves. Unless you have something interesting to say about the news, shut up.
3. Odds are, if you try to be funny, you become that much lamer.
4. No one agrees with your taste in music.
5. Plot summaries are NOT reviews.
6. Your promos suck.
7. If you won't delete dead air and vocal fillers in your postproduction, then we'll delete your podcast from our podcatchers.
8. Think you're both knowledgable AND funny? Think again.
9. Watching Evangellion doesn't automatically make you hardcore.
10. Watching Bleach DEFINATELY doesn't make you hardcore.
11. Inuyasha is NOT deep.
12. Naruto is NOT cool.
13. Love Hina is NOT funny.
14. Lucky Star is NOT Haruhi.
15. .hack//SIGN is NOT interesting
16. We don't need to know about how much of a furry you are.
17. Most yaoi is just as shallow as most yuri.
18. I don't care how "experienced" you are. You're not Daryl Surat.
19. I don't care how "funny" you are. You're not Dave or Joel.
20. I don't care if your news is "interesting". You're not Rym or Scott.

And most importantly:

21. I don't care if Kodomo no Jikan is "funny" or "cute" or "innocent". You're a pedophile for liking it.

I don't know who the "you"s are referring to in particular, but I'm sure you'll know if you're one of em'. XD

Wow, that felt good.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: The Rookie

The General Idea: The Rookie is a podcast novel written and read by Scott Sigler. Essentially football in space . . . except awesome.

The Plot: In the distant future, several species of sentiens live in a somewhat uneasy peace. To divert their violent tendencies from each other, the various races turn to football as both a source of unity . . . and awesome violence. Quentin Barnes is the star quarterback of a team in the Purest Nation Football League, an all-human league consisting of all tier three teams (out of 3 with Tier 1 being the highest). Despite being superior to most players in his league, Quentin is far from satisfied as he desires the highest prize: to play in tier 1. He gets a chance when he is picked up by a tier 2 team, the Ionath Krakens. If his new team is among the top two in tier two at the end of the season, they move up to the top tier. The catch? He has aliens for teammates, and coming from a culture where the only thing you learn about other species is how to kill them in the most effective way possible, he has his work cut out for him.

Style: No fancy tricks here, Scott Sigler gives it to you straight. The Rookie pulls no punches, gets to the point, and saves the graphic detail for the stuff that counts: the brutal, unforgiving, and sudden violence. Just the way I like it. XD

Substance: N/A (This is for informative podcasts)

Host(s): Scott Sigler is vibrant, energetic, and expressive. You won't hear him stumble over his words or mumble. He's one of the few hosts I've heard who adress fanmail and voicemails as if they were from his buddies. From what I've seen, the close relationship between him and his junkies (named so due to their addiction to his work) is quite a rare sight in podcasts with fanbases as large as his. Also, for a one-man voice cast, he does a pretty damn good job.

Sound Quality: No flaws of note. Excellent overall.

Episodes this review is based on: All of Them.

Recommended Episodes: All the main episodes.

Releases: Completed

Misc Comments: At first, I was a bit skeptical about the football theme. I'm not a footbal fan and expected The Rookie to chew me up. I was pleasantly surprised when I wasn't completely lost. For a sports story, characters have a fair deal of depth and everything from intergalactic politics to the workings of the underworld are presented. The football parts are done in such a way that you can enjoy all the blood and glory of futuristic football without having to deal with the boring bits. The violence is a bit slow to appear and if you're coming from Infection or Ancestor, won't be as able to sate your bloodlust. Well, Sigler, if you're reading this, kudos to you. You've turned me into a Junkie and now I can't wait for Nocturnal.

Overall: 5/5

Otaku RPG: Fallacy 1

Katsuhiko Tenshi is a average high school boy who gets average grades, lives in a average home, has no girlfriend, and goes to an average school. He plays video games and hangs out with his geeky friends. He's kind and loves to help his friends. He spends his days dreaming about being magically swept to a fantasy world where he'd become a hero with some ancient power and hit it off with royalty because no one gives a flying fuck about him in real life.

This story isn't about him.

Sayoko Ando is at the top of her class at a prestigious academy. She's part of a wealthy family and lives in a mansion. Boys drool over her and she's a superb tennis player. She's also a royal bitch and crossing her means social excommunication. She spends her days pondering her ascent into the worlds of business and politics.

One day after watching her goons beat up Katsuhiko for spilling tea on her shoes, she mysteriously passes out.

When she woke up, she found herself being watched by an old lady dressed in common clothes.

Old Lady (reaching out to touch her): Ah! I see you're up, milady-

Sayoko: Get your damn, dirty hands off me, peasant!

Old Lady: I'm sorry but-

Sayoko: What the hell do you think you're doing putting me in this room?! It's much too small. If my hair isn't properly ventilated, it goes off center!!! And this bed! What's with these cheap sheets?! Do I look like some bourgeoise?!

Old Lady: But- But-

Sayoko: And what the hell are you doing in here?! I may catch some commoner's disease! Have you no brain?!

*The old lady breaks down into sobs*

Sayoko: But most importantly, what the fuck am I doing here?!

*The door slams open as guards rush in and grab Sayoko, dragging her away.*

*Within minutes, she's onto the floor of a dining room with a huge, rectangular table with a man in a flamboyant outfit sitting across the room, feasting on roast chicken.*

Sayoko (standing up): Are you some kind of fat ass pimp-?

Nobleman (interrupting): You shall not speak unless spoken to. I am the lord of this estate and i shall make this brief. You fell out of the sky. We found you. A prophecy foretold this. You are the maiden who will slay the darkness and restore balance and-

Sayoko (bored): If you're going to give me that cliché RPG-fodder bullshit, at least make it somewhat amusing. Adjectives help a lot, buddy.

Nobleman: SILENCE! As I was saying, rather than bringing you to the king, I will now-

Sayoko: Info gap much? If you're going to bore me, then get your info straight, you fat fuck.

Noblemen (clenching his fists and turning red): Insolent wench! You're going to make me king of the world! Got any problems with that?

Sayoko: Take a guess, you retarded swine.

*She jumps up onto the table, dashes across, picking up a long steak knife along the way. Before the noble or his guards could react, she was upon him, her knife just barely touching his neck.*

Sayoko: For one, the world would be fucked with you at the helm, fatso. On the other hand, if I’m THAT powerful, I think I’m gonna have some fun.

*She grins a devilish grin*

DoS IRCast: When Crappy Podcasters Attack!

Alrighty, folks! Sorry for da long wait, but i'm back!
This time around, i'm bringin' ya a little something called the DoS IRCast. DoS stands for Dawn of Sin and is my one-name-fits-all thingie. I call the following an IRCast bacause I wanna relive the days of multi-person shows without the hassle of editing audio. So, i just did it over IRC.

Today's Topics: When podcasts read lame news + Podcasts Hosts and how they make or break the show.

If you're interested in participatin' in this thing in the future, ya can find us on the Rizon server. Our channel is #OneSin Original, eh? >_<
[one_sin] Hate: When podcasts read off news
[leviathan] Totally agree
[leviathan] it's like
[leviathan] they're making fun of the listeners
[one_sin] Yeah
[leviathan] "Y'all are too dumb to read the news/realize we're reading it"
[one_sin] The only people who need to know the news from a 'cast are internet newbs.
[leviathan] news is meant to be read
[leviathan] from a funded trusted preferably print source
[one_sin] It's one thing if you have insightful or interesting commentary like Geeknights
[leviathan] not just any screaming blogger in their boxers...
[leviathan] Yeah.
[one_sin] but if you're just gonna read off 500 new anime releases, then you can die in a fire
[leviathan] Rather than "Here, news," "Here's the news, let's discuss."
[one_sin] yeah
[one_sin] and not just "ZOMG! I'm so excited!"
[one_sin] News on podcasts is a waste of time
[one_sin] a HORRIBLE waste of time
[one_sin] unless it's meta stuff
[one_sin] and even then, it's still a bit meh
[one_sin] though understandable
[leviathan] meh, but understandable?
[one_sin] yeah
[one_sin] i mean
[leviathan] now how does that work?
[one_sin] you have to tell people about wtf is goin' on in your community
[one_sin] but it probably isn't the most interesting shit
[one_sin] Think of it as a necessary evil
[one_sin] whereas non-meta news is just plain unnecessary
[leviathan] ok
[one_sin] podcasts like Anime Genesis would be 100 times better if they dropped the lame news
[leviathan] Anime Genesis is iffy to begin with
[one_sin] I only listen for Duo
[one_sin] Oh! New topic!
[one_sin] Wanna shift?
[leviathan] sure, let's go!


[one_sin] Hosts
[one_sin] The host is one of the key parts of a podcast
[one_sin] a good one can make or break a show
[leviathan] The only thing going for AG is duo, neatness, and regularity.
[one_sin] yeah
[one_sin] and Pocketasian
[leviathan] right right
[one_sin] who has randomness
[one_sin] take AWO for example
[one_sin] Daryl Surat can make even the most boring topic seem interestin
[leviathan] oh i love him
[one_sin] The same goes for Rym from Geeknights
[leviathan] See, daryl gives everything straight
[one_sin] and Dave and Joel from Fast Karate
[one_sin] These guys have serious charisma
[leviathan] i like that he's allowing the listeners to understand what his deal is, like he's an actual tv show host.
[one_sin] yep yep yeppers
[one_sin] and he isn't afraid to play devil's advocate
[one_sin] regardless of his views
[leviathan] There are hosts out there that are like, "Yeah, you can't know my name or face or anything about me! Oh, here, a piece of my life. NO NAMES! NOO!"
[one_sin] <.<
[one_sin] >.>
[one_sin] Shit
[one_sin] ya got me
[one_sin] >_<
[leviathan] no, you don't throw out random insight into your life
[one_sin] Oh, right
[leviathan] whilst still holding up a mask
[leviathan] like a bad game of clue or something.
[one_sin] as far as my life is concerned, i'm fuckin' Agent Smith
[leviathan] 'swhat i'm saying
[one_sin] lol I am an entity of teh internetz!
[one_sin] but anyway, whereas a strong host can make standard material good, a bad host can fuck even the greatest of content
[paltir] i've seldom seen a good host
[leviathan] now what i'd like to do is a little experiment with the host theory
[one_sin] So, someone with a monotone or someone who stutters a lot can annoy the fuck out of the most patient of people
[one_sin] oh?
[leviathan] Hand the hosts of several different podcasts the same outline of the same content, analyze the delivery, and analyze the listener feedback.
[paltir] sooo, like... all of the AP crew
[one_sin] yesh
[one_sin] XD
[paltir] Lev, but what if there IS no listner feedback?
[one_sin] Also, people prone to excessive tangents and lame in-jokes fail hard
[paltir] in-jokes to your target audience are sweet
[paltir] injokes to your podcast are lame
[one_sin] There's also the matter of active and passive hosts
[one_sin] AG is a perfect example of this
[paltir] oh, god
[paltir] not AG
[one_sin] if Benu had any personality, he'd be able to keep pace with the other egos on AG
[paltir] but he doesn't
[paltir] nor does he have any balls
[one_sin] but because he's a passive host, people like Duo and Pocketasian easily control the show
[leviathan] and he looks like a monkey.
[one_sin] in addition, he doesn't contribute any opinions himself
[one_sin] so he's just there
[leviathan] and he looks like a monkey.
[paltir] and he cuts out really good parts of other guests....
[one_sin] XD
[paltir] like really kickass discussions
[one_sin] But then there're also whiny hosts
[paltir] yesh, he is rather funny and nerdy looking
[leviathan] HE LOOKS LIKE A GODDAMN MONKEY. THIS IS THE SOURCE OF ALL HIS ISSUES.
[one_sin] He's also a Haruhiphile
[one_sin] but that's beside the point
[one_sin] Whiny hosts tend to be obsessive fanboys and teenage boys
[leviathan] can't stand whiners
[leviathan] it's like, go bitch to someone who cares.
[one_sin] People whining about how someone said that Rei is an emotionless whore and Gendo's sex toy
[leviathan] oh please.
[one_sin] The teens, on the other hand
[one_sin] are just as bad
[paltir] see, the fact that gendo would use the creepy emotionless, flat chested rei AS a sex toy is what bothers me
[paltir] I mean, I think the man has standards...
[one_sin] The problem with them isn't what they whine about (for the boys, anyway) so much as how they do it
[one_sin] lol
[paltir] cause Gendo is pretty much the most badass person... ever
[one_sin] I fucking hate how much teens whine!
[paltir] in the show anyway
[one_sin] Screaming about how the Wii reminds them of a penis isn't a very compelling or amusing argument
[leviathan] Now that is just stupid as shit.
[leviathan] That's the problem with teenage boys.
[leviathan] They have hormones bouncing all over the place
[one_sin] Neither are fangirls whining about how people keep dissing Inuyasha when they don't even listen to said opinions
[leviathan] and have no self control.
[one_sin] yeppers
[one_sin] Also, people who confuse favorites and bests piss me off
[one_sin] It's one thing if Love Hina is someone's favorite
[one_sin] it's a whole 'nother story if they call it the best
[leviathan] Exactly!
[leviathan] And of course there is
[one_sin] the latter gets a Reality Check Kick to the Nuts
[leviathan] the compelling argument of
[leviathan] "omg u suck he/she/it is soooooo cool and u need 2 die, fuckhead."
[one_sin] yeah
[one_sin] Fanaticism is bad by itself
[leviathan] everytime i see one of those, i want to die.
[one_sin] couple it with something menial like an anime character . . .
[leviathan] ugh.
[one_sin] But let me just say something to piss off some fangirls
[leviathan] "omg u suck Inuyasha is soo hot and u need 2 die, fuckhead."
[one_sin] Sesshy isn't that hot
[one_sin] Especially in the anime
[one_sin] he looks like a complete tool
[leviathan] I know!
[one_sin] even Boa-san isn't very fluffy looking in the anime
[paltir] Alcohol is teh best...
[paltir] no doubt
[leviathan] paltir, it's too early to start drinking.
[one_sin] lol
[one_sin] I think we should drop all pretences of a topic
[one_sin] and just post this with minimal editing
[leviathan] just do whatever the fuck we want?
[one_sin] and see what kind of response we get
[one_sin] sure
[one_sin] besides Wii penis jokes
[leviathan] ...
[leviathan] hate
[one_sin] Anyway, let's take the two Geektastics for example
[leviathan] jifty and
[one_sin] Jifty and Paltir can make otherwise shitty pulled-out-of-my-ass topics amusing
[leviathan] oh wait
[leviathan] yeah
[paltir] it's almost 8 lev
[leviathan] yes, i know, too damn early!
[one_sin] If anyone else yapped on about webcomics or alternate history novels, i'd kill them
[paltir] hardly
[one_sin] but Jifty pulls it off well
[leviathan] well, paltir's smashed half the time, and jifty's just plain awesome.
[paltir] 8am maybe
[one_sin] And Paltir . . . well . . . being drunk makes shit funny
[one_sin] XD
[one_sin] But typical cookie-cutter fanboy stuttering geek hosts ftl
[leviathan] ow... pain...
[paltir] Jifty is surprisingly funny
[leviathan] took ya long enough to get on topic...
[one_sin] Either enlighten us, make us lol, or STFU

This Water Bottle Can Do Anything . . . Except Hold Water

Have any of ya seen da new Arrowhead bottle?
Looks pretty sweet, doesn't it?
All nice and aerodynamic with da curves and whatnot.

Well, guess what?

IT FUCKING SUCKS!

First, I tried ta open it.
Da bottle twists instead of da god damn cap!!
So, I tried reeeeeeeeeeeeally hard ta get da cap off.
It works, but now there's water all over me.
Seems like appying pressure ANYWHERE on the fucker makes it squirt water anywhere.
The worst part is, I buy em' in bulk (What can I say? I'm a thirsty gal), so ima have to put of with about 20 or 30 of these suckers.

Sure it looked ugly, but I'd take the old bottle over this one anyday . . .

Mechaaaaa: Gouf Custom

Seems like I forgot something last week . . . .

Welp, here it is!

Thanks to Karaokeninja from the frontbeat.com forums for reminding me.

Anyways, da mech o' this day . . . no. Month? No. Week? Not a chance.
Bah! Let's call it da mech of this post.

It's da Gouf Custom from Gundam 08th MS Team.

Unlike normal Goufs, this one has a gatling gun attached to its shield so its hand doesn't look quite so retarded.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Spec-wise, the Gouf Custom isn't really different from a normal Gouf. The difference lies in how it's used. In 08th MS Team, the Gouf Custom takes on an entire squad of Gundams and manages to terminate three Guntanks at the same time. One particular kill of interest is da one where the Gouf stabs a Guntank straight down from its head which is followed by a huge gush of blood. Fuckin' awesome!

Mechaaaaa: Gouf and Gouf Ignited

These are among my all-time favorite mechs.

First, we have the classic Gouf.
Ignore the stupid name, because it rocks! The Gouf is the succesor to the lovable Zaku and is armed with a number of kick-ass weapons.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
There's a machine gun built into it's fingers. Yes, a machine gun. Score! Fuck that shining finger business from G-Gundam.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Here we have the famous heat rod. With this, the Gouf can whip you, slice you, zap you, drag you closer, or tentacle rape you for those "Get over here!" moments.

Heat Sword. Need I say more? It sure as hell looks better than the heat tomohawk. More stabbing = win. XD

Now, we have the Gouf Ignited from Gundam SEED Destiny. Not only is it a better-designed Gouf, it fucking flies! Now, it can rape you in mid-air! Other improvements include lazers coming out of the shooting hand and a big-ass sword. No stabbing though. T_T

Ima Lookin' At J00!: Comedy4Cast

Review Based on episodes 1-10, and 49-103.

"Comedy4Cast: Comedy in four minutes or less"
That's their slogan right there.
Comedy4Cast is a short, 4-7 minute podcast in which the host (I think his name was Clinton or something) does a seemingly random skit before going into chat mode.

Content:
- The first four minutes are the "comedy".
- Usually, he does a random skit as himself. This can be anything from using time travel to edit his podcast to fighting against the evil known as the online signup interface.
- Sometimes, he plays other characters. One of them is an imbecile who . . . well . . .is imbecilic! Another is an average guy who speaks like a noble so everyone thinks he's rich and powerful. And another is someone who starts all his sentences with "basically".
- These skits rely too much on randomness and often fall flat on their faces. I mean, when over 80% of the skit makes no sense, it just ain't funny. Randomness is something that's best used at key moments like "The pythagorean theorem is a squared times b squared equals BALLS!" as opposed to "BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS i like tea BALLS BALLS!" I really don't know where I got the balls from . . .
-The mid to new episodes have a little chat session with Clinton at the end. These mostly pertain to comedy4cast and himself in general.

Sound Quality:
- Earlier episodes have tolerable sound quality. Most certainly not amateurish.
- More recent episodes have nearly flawless sound quality.

Recommended Episodes:
1, 49, 50, 59, and 79

Overall:
1/5 - Though there are a few good episodes here and there, they're much too rare to subscribe to the podcast.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: Comedy Central Motherload Webshows

This is another vidcast by Comedy Central. This time, the content consists of various shorts from their motherload thingie.

Content:
- 2-5 minute shorts.
- Content incledes everything from animated shorts to standard skit-based comedy.
- Sorely lacking in terms of amusement value.
- I wouldn't be surprised if they just took the shit that they wouldn't want to put on TV and threw it together into this shitty excuse of a vidcast.

Overall:
1/5 - Don't Bother

The Truth About Yaoi

For some reason, some people tout yaoi as being superior to yuri because "Yaoi focuses on character development and a deep, compelling story." Sorry to break it to ya, but yaoi ain't that much better than yuri.

1. The "deep story" tends to be rather shallow and overused. (ie. "That mysterious boy at school", "Childhood buddies") In fact, most of the time, the plot seems to just be an excuse to get the guys to get to teh buttsex. At least yuri titles are blatant about their purpose.

2. Character development . . . . yeaaaaaaaaaah. There's a dominant, seemingly cold, withdrawn guy and a girly guy. Any questions?

3. "The sex is just to show a deepening bond." Oh really? Then why is there so much attention payed to it? Yaoi sex is just as outlandishly set up as yuri sex. I seriously doubt cock rings and 69ing doesn't develop shit.

Now I know yaoi is all about teh gay sex. And that's the only reason I partake in it. XD I wish people would stop claiming it's an evolution in anime. It's just hentai with no girls.

---------------------------------
On a different note, I hate how the mere mention of yaoi has guys whipping out the Red Bull and disinfectant. It's a guy . . . doing another guy. Big fucking whoop. "EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!" "NONONONONO!!! YAOI IS TEH SUX!" etc. I know people have their preferences and all, but this is just stupid. It's fucking anime. Yaoi ain't gonna burst out of your closet and rape ya with an ear of corn. If ya like yaoi, great! If ya don't, good for you! Just quit your god damn bitching if you're the kind of person that has to publically voice your rather dull and childish disagreement (i'm referring to the people who go like "EWW EWWW EWW BUTSEX THATS FUCKING SICK"). So stop gagging and get some balls.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: Comedy Central: Stand-Up

This is a video podcast released by Comedy Central. It takes 1-4 minute clips from their countless standups. Obviously, it was intended more to get people interested in Comedy Central than provide entertainment.

Content:
-The releases are hit or miss. Some of the stuff will make you chuckle, but most of the time, it just ain't funny.
-If it is funny, the shows are too damn short to leave a lasting impression.
-If they just made the shows 5-10 minutes long, it would improve exponentially.
-Somehow, this vidcast made it into the itunes top 100 podcasts. This leaves me to believe that either a lot of people that are fans of Comedy Central blindly subscribed to the cast or there's some corruption goin' on in Apple.

Sound:
-TV grade

Overall:
2/5 - It has it's moments, but it's mediocre most of the time.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: X-Play Daily Video Podcast

The X-Play Daily Video Podcast takes the reviews from the show on G4 and makes them avalable in 3-4 minute episodes. The show reviews video games while occasionally throwing in a skit or two.

Content:
-The reviews themselves are well-informed despite the shallow appearance of the show.
-Though said reviews do tend to be exaggerated when they're about hyped-up monsters like God of War, they're very accurate and reliable for other games.
-Unfortunately, they shoehorn a shitload of "comedy" into these reviews. Most of the time, the jokes are juvenile and fall flat on their faces.
-There are a few exceptions to this. The most notable ones are the Splinter Cell Co-Op Theater episodes, which are hillarious.

Hosts:
-Both of the hosts are seasoned gamers and they know what they're talking about, but they're not comedians.
-While not annoying, they aren't TOO special. At least they didn't get some sweaty, middle-aged man who mumbles like crazy.
-If they'd drop those god damn lame political/pop culture jokes and focused on reviewing, they'd easily become much better.

Sound Quality:
-TV Grade. Need I say more?
-For those of you with shitty TVs, I'm saying it's as good as it gets.

Overall:
3/5 - It has its uses, but it won't be winning any awards.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: Ancestor

Ancestor is a novel written by Scott Sigler.

Up until recently, it was avalable on itunes as a podiobook. I dunno if it's still avalable elsewhere.

Ancestor is a story about a company's desire to bring back an ancient creature to use for organ transplants. As the project progresses, the sinister nature of these ancestors is revealed.

Content:
- The story is quite captivating, especially around the middle.
- Characters aren't ultra-deep, but there's a bit of depth to them.
- Plot twists were relatively original until the very end at which point the story lost some momentum along with a good bit of my interest.

Host:
- Scott Sigler does all the voices himself. The female and deep voices are so-so, but his other voices are quite interesting.
- He rarely adresses the audience, prefering to just tell the story. This keeps things short and to-the-point.

Sound Quality:
- Flawless as far as I can tell.
- The transition music is very low-key and lets the story flow while getting the change in perspective or location across.
- There is a problem regarding this in one chapter where the perspective constantly changes between two people in the same area. This gets kinda annoying really quickly.

Overall:
4/5 - Not a must-watch, but pretty damn good.

Ima Lookin' At J00!: The Onion Radio News

Before I start on this review, "Ima Lookin' At J00!" was originally a sub-show on my podcast, "Blood, Crack, and Anime." Recently, I decided it would be easier to just do it here. In ILAJ, I review the many podcasts I listen to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Onion Radio News" is a fake news podcast where the host makes up a 1-2 minute news flash with some outrageous premise.

Content:
- Completely Random
- Short, but not sweet
- This is a show that tries too hard to be funny, and it does this by throwing completely random jokes at you. While some randomness is good, just having a random phrase thrown at you does not make for lolz. In fact, most of the "comedy" flies over your head and comes off as juvenile at times.

Host:
- 1-2 minutes per show isn't enough to make the host too significant . . .
- He isn't annoying, i'll give him that.

Sound Quality:
- Well-done
- No blemishes as far as I can tell

Overall:
1/5 - Don't Bother

The Life of a Japanese Schoolgirl part 3

October 10, 2006

*Sniff* Sorry it's been so long. It's just that . . . It's just that . . . daddy died. He was found in his bedroom strangled to death during what was probably a cocaine-filled orgy. Now it's just mom and me . . . without any income.

Shit. This is gonna get ugly, isn't it?
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 11, 2006

Everyone at school stared at me wierdly today. No one seemed to want to talk to me. Even Fujiko's funny stare changed to a different one! The wierd thing, though, is that some kid asked me for crack . . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 12, 2006

T-T

Instant Ramen today. It tastes like cardboard and makes my tongue bleed, but I guess it's all i'll get until we get some money . . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 13, 2006

Instant Ramen . . . again.
My taste buds stopped bleeding.
If my body adapted, then I guess i'm all right.
But if it's like frostbite . . . . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 14, 2006

Instant Ramen.

My tongue is turning green . . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 15, 2006

Instant Ramen.

I can't taste anymore!
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 16, 2006

Instant Ramen.

I can almost swear that I saw something moving around the house . . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 17, 2006

Instant Ramen.

Oh my god. I saw it. It's a mudkip! What the hell is it doing in my house?
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 18, 2006

Instant Ramen.

It's an infestation!! I've been seeing more and more of these things . . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 19, 2006

Instant Ramen.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
Every time I turn my head, I see five of them.
And the voices call to me too.

"I hear you liek mudkipz."
-------------------------------------------------------------
October 20, 2006

Instant Ramen

I hear you liek mudkipz. I hear you liek mudkipz.
I hear you liek mudkipz. I hear you liek mudkipz.
I hear you liek mudkipz. I hear you liek mudkipz.
I hear you liek mudkipz. I hear you liek mudkipz.

The Great Pedo Hunt

Y'all may have noticed that we have a surplus (any number greater than zero) of pedophiles. Thus, i've decided to declare The Great Pedo Hunt.

What crazy scheme is this?

It's simple:
1. Take one or more of the images on the bottom of the page.
2. Find a pedo or a pack of pedos and slap da image on them.
3. Get far away but not out of visual range and wait.
4. Within minutes, our agents will systematically eliminate the infestation with sniper rifles, gatling guns, grenades, and the like.
5. If you put a gigantic one on the ground, out bombers will procede to raze the city.
6. If you're the do-it-yourself kinda person, Walmart has shotguns for sale.

Good luck!
The fate of little girls (and some boys) around the world rests in your hands . . . and guns . . and instruments of torture.

The Life of a Japanese Schoolgirl part 2

September 22, 2006

I went to the mall. First I stopped by the shoestore for some leather boots and steel-soled cleats. What are they for? That's a secret. :P Then, I went to the perfume store. Nothing much there, but I hear that in a week or so, they'll be getting a shipment of stuff that's really popular in Germany. I think they called it "Essence of Scat." It's almost poetic sounding! After that, I went to the video store to get some anime. You know, those import stores have been getting more popular lately. Maybe it's because they have five episodes on a disk for $29.99 instead of two for 50 bucks . . . Hmmm. This merits further research!
----------------------------------------------------
September 23, 2006

Oh . . my . . GOD! Ouran Host Club is teh BEST anime ever! Alas, my friends would never understand. I have to keep this a secret. If they think i'm an otaku, i'll never get any boys! Well, maybe those American boys. They don't seem quite as repulsed by otaku . . .
----------------------------------------------------
September 24, 2006

"You must construct additional pylons."

That phrase has been haunting me all day. Last night, I had a dream that I was building a HUGE alien city. But when I tried to bring people into the city, a voice would tell me "You must construct additional pylons." I tried to ask the voice what pylons were but it just kept repeating that phrase at me!!!! And then some wierd bug/mammal-like aliens came and make everything go splody'. T-T
-----------------------------------------------------
September 25, 2006

This year will be awesome! I just know it! Sure Fujiko looks at me wierd every now and then and her dad keeps inviting me over to their house, but otherwise, everything's normal. Ah, I love my life. I have a feeling this is gonna be the best year of my life!

The Life of a Japanese Schoolgirl part 1

Now y'all know I watch a lot of anime. One of da odd things i've seen is all da bizzare shit that happens to da schoolgirls. So in commemoration of this madness, i've decided to make little something.

-------------------------------------
September 15, 2006

Hello, diary! I had my first day of my senior year. Yup, it was awesome! I mean, I met soooooooooo many hawt guys. There's my professor, my best friend's boyfriend, my childhood friend who i hadn't seen in years, and even my long lost stepbrother! I can't tell daddy though, cuz he'll give me the belt again . . . >_<

-------------------------------------
September 18, 2006

*Sniff* That Fujiko can be so mean sometimes. All I did was flirt with her boyfriend and she said all those things about me being a slut! It's almost like she has some grudge that's been kept a secret under her friendly exterior because she wants to make me suffer like someone drowning in coca cola! You know what this means . . . . snooping time!
--------------------------------------
September 19, 2006

Fujiko's mother slapped me three times for looking in her secret drawer. How was I supposed to know she kept her toys there?
---------------------------------------
September 20, 2006

Fujiko's dad didn't know anything . . . but he gave me twenty dollars for a "massage" Jeez! The stock market must be crazy or something for prices to go that high! Maybe I should do this more often . . .
---------------------------------------
September 21, 2006

Aww that Fujiko is such a joker. She was just kidding about the whole whore thing. Hehe Gotta love her. I wish she'd be more careful with that knife though. She almost got me with it! >_<

Blarg!

Now that I think about it, this is more of a Blarg than a Blog, isn't it?

I mean . . . . . . . . . . . .

Umm . . . .

Aha! Words fail to express the significance of the word "blarg".

Yes.

What Ever Happened to da Good Ol' Villains?

I look around these days and I see three distinct types of villain.

1. The Emo Bitch
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This here's Akito Sohma. Sure he looks badass at first, but every time he opens his mouth it's to spill some bullshit about vengeance or cursing his fate. These guys are all about grudges like most other villains. The problem though, is that they do this VERY VERY loudly and with shitloads of angst and tears, and Blah Blah Blah CUT MY LIFE TO PIECES!!!

2. The Psycho
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This here's Jin-e from Rurouni Kenshin. He is a psycho mofo who kills and kills and kills. Why does he kill? BECAUSE HE'S APESHIT CRAZY! These guys aren't cruel in the traditional sense. If they impale you on a stump, it's nothing personal. Side-effects may include twitching, random screams, non-emo self-inflicted damage, and funky-eyes.

3. The Conqueror
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The dude in the back is that evil guy (one of them) from Excel Saga. He wants to conquer the city. Why? No one knows . . . This type of villain has some kind of compulsion to build an empire without end, making for rather lame character development.

These types are good and all, but they get boring quickly. I wanna see some more of the Hardcore Villain type!!!

Motive? What motive? These guys make your life fucking hell because they can. Sometimes bearing cold expressions and sometimes being arrogant, they strike without warning and fuck up anything that looks at them oddly. XD

Too bad this type of villain's scarse these days with most modern plots involving a "deep" yet rather shallow antagonist . . . T_T

Big Guns

Y'know. I watch a lot of action-oriented anime and play a lot of video games and i've noticed something.

Bigger = Better

Apparently, i'm supposed to think that a lazer the size of a bus is a better weapon to lug around than an M16.

Now I know it's meant to be over da top, but come on!

Do we really need planet-sized robots swinging around planet-sized swords?

Or Cloud's buster sword which he can swing with one hand while fighting on a motorcycle?

But Gundam is the biggest culprit here.

GENESIS:

This is the biggest fucking cannon i've ever seen. It's the size of an asteroid! Seriously, how often are you going to fire this thing?

METEOR:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Don't let the dorky design fool you. This thing might as well be a mini-battleship. Missiles, a huge array of cannons, mile long beam arms, the works. My question is about those beam arms. How the hell are you supposed to control those things?! I mean, a mile long arc is good and all, but you'd be chopping up EVERYTHING with something that big.

Destroy Gundam:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This gundam is armed with more beams than all the 80s disco balls combined. It is HUGE. I mean, it makes even battleships look small. Too bad it's slow as fuck and gets screwed the second someone gets in melee range.

Alrighty. That's enough . . . for now.

Where da Fuck Did You Come From?

I'm sure y'all are wondering where else the demonic entity known as One Sin lurks.

Welp, ima tell ya!

Dawn of Sin Forums
It's my forum where people . . . . forumize? XD
Anyways, ima go into detail some other post. There's too much ta explain here.

#OneSin
As you can tell by the name, i'm an egotistical bitch. >_<
Blood, Crack, and Anime
It's a podcast that a buncha people, my brother and myself included do. It's centers around anime, manga, and video game reviews, but we often do random stuffies. Just so ya know, start from the newest episode and work your way back. Da earlier stuff is shit. T_T

I have IM and Skype accounts, but i'm never on . . . so there. XP

Anyways, i'm guessin' an introduction is in order.

I'm a 22 year old rough and tumble Cali gal.

I'm a random gal and I like ta do everything from writin' stories to screamin' obscenities at slow drivers to getting really really really high.

Crack! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Gettin' back on track, my hobbies include watchin' anime, readin' manga, playin' video games, podcastin', collectin' Zaku models >_<, cruel and unusual torture, random acts of violence, procrastination, and corn.
