Blogroll 2.0 & no more DannyChoo fag-ism

November 15th, 2009 hikky 32 comments

Yeah, my blog roll is finally up to date!

Until now my blogroll was basically a copy & pasted link list from my old blog.

Revamped it a little bit as you can see here. It’s now displaying blogs ordered by their latest update together with the title of last published post.

Should work without problems but feel free to add any suggestions below.

Most probably I forgot to add some blogs so please add the following details in a comment below if you want to see your blog featured in my blogroll:

  • Blog name
  • Blog URL
  • A short description or tagline
  • RSS feed URL

Evangelion 2.0 – A mind blowing experience

November 8th, 2009 hikky 24 comments

 

It’s now two days after watching Evangelion 2.0 in Munich and time for a few words.

 

Note: I’d like to keep this post mostly spoiler free, as it would be a really cruel thing considering the plot of the movie.

 

Starting off with a battle between EVA 05 (Provisional Unit), piloted by Mari Illustrious Makinami fighting against the third angel. (It’s hard to recall the first few minutes, cause if you aren’t used to watch anime in a cinema it’s just too overwhelming at the beginning.)

This initiating battle scene is actually representative for the direction of the whole movie, as you notice that it is much more than a rebuild of the original series.

Machinarium – Awesome game is awesome

November 1st, 2009 hikky 8 comments

Most likely you haven’t heard about Machinarium yet. But if you like the idea of playing a game which is kind of unique you might want to check out this short review.

Machinarium was released a few weeks ago for worldwide online purchase and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. You can get it via the official homepage (where you can play a few demo levels online).

The PC version is also available via Steam, Direct2Drive, Gamersgate and Impulse for ~15€ / 22USD / 2000Yen.

I ordered the boxed version which is available in German, Russian and Italian since Tuesday for example here on amazon.de.

Evangelion 2.0 premiere in Germany (and random stuff)

October 28th, 2009 hikky 9 comments

 

Some may have seen this a few days ago on figure.fm but that’s something that should make it to my blog too, of course.

I reserved tickets for the Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance premiere last week!

The movie will be shown on November, 6th at the "Gloria Filmpalast" in Munich with English subtitles. (As part of the Asia Filmfest 2009, showing a lot of Asian movies. For example: Blood: The Last Vampire, IP Man, Red Cliff, Shinjuku Incident, K-20, Ichi, Lady Venegance, Samurai Princess, and many more.)

It’s all about Windows 7

October 22nd, 2009 hikky 24 comments

As a geek I can’t resist to do a W7 post on the launch day of course. It’s the 22nd since a few hours in all parts of the world, which means thousands of people are getting their shiny new operating system today.

 

Especially the Japanese Ultimate version is of huge interest for me. Coming with the first official OS-tan Madobe Nanami ( Madobe= by the window, Nana = seven) and event sounds voiced by Mizuki Nana!

Only available for folks in Japan who pre-ordered Windows 7 Ultimate though. The pic above is one of the included wallpapers. The others are below in the picture spam section.

And I found this desktop mascot on /g/ but it’s just a fan made one. Still better than nothing though. http://www.mediafire.com/?mzqvmjxnj0t

Has anyone already found the theme files? If so share them please!

 

UPDATE: Here is the fixed themepack: http://www.mediafire.com/?yyyngymjmfj 

(If the link above is overused try this alternative link MadobeNanami-engfix.themepack )

Works great! Just double click on the file and your Windows 7 is moe-fied.

Prepare some tissues before you apply the theme. (⌒▽⌒)
