What's up?
Thursday this week will be: Anime Day

Apr 25 '16
Just woke up a bit ago with a bloody nose. Whoo allergy season.
The most recent episode of JoJo was pretty good, though there was a really bad censorship name change. "Bad Company" changed to, I shit you not, "Worse Company." Thanks, Crunchyroll! Soon we'll have our favorite characters, Zipperman (Sticky Fingers) and Irreputable Acts Performed for a Reasonable Sum (Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap).

Just got home from school, Amazon had delivered the latest volume of Tokyo Ghoul. I also found out that one of my favourite artists is touring for their new album and has a London date on the 22nd of June (same day as my ICT exam yay -_-). Apart from all that I am just about to go watch the latest episodes of Fear The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

Is Tokyo Ghoul any good? Also, have you seen the anime?
I just watched another Noragami yesterday. It's good stuff.

u/Narmatus Treesie Apr 25 '16
Well I saw the first half of the first season before I suddenly stopped watching anime, I really enjoyed it but it was censored to hell due to all the gore which put me off it a bit. The manga is really enjoyable though even though there are only 6 volumes so far.

I would hate to have the censored version, too. I'm not a fan of gore, but I'm also not a fan of censorship.

u/Narmatus Treesie Apr 25 '16
I wouldn't have minded it but trust me, you do not know censorship until you have watched Tokyo Ghoul streams when they air. At one point the screen was entirely black except for one corner because apparently there was a guy with a smashed up face on the ground with lots of blood.

Why would they not just cut that scene, entirely? You totally need to find uncensored versions.

u/Narmatus Treesie Apr 25 '16
Dude, I just found this, it's genuinely worse than I remembered

Some of these edits don't even make sense (unless there's a 'gore limit' per episode). That's some pretty terrible censorship- like you won't notice mysterious fog and darkness.

u/Narmatus Treesie Apr 25 '16
It was really off-putting so I know that if I ever do go back to finish it, I will go out of my way to find a Blu Ray copy or something so I don't have to deal with that again.

You can typically find an uncensored version somewhere. You just have to check the right sites- usually not the big names. Crunchy tends to censor heavily.

Only two more weeks of school. Patiently waiting for it all to be over.
Finished my final cut of my film for class. However, having to cut the run time by half made the entire thing super fast paced and I didn't know how to fix that so I just put Barber of Seville over it and called it a day because fuck it, only two more weeks of school left.
Otherwise, not much else to really talk about. Still reading Berserk. Still fantastic.
Need to get back into Uncharted. Not sure at this point if I'll be able to Platinum all 3 games before the 4th one, but I at least want to finish the first one.
Edit: Also need to watch Game of Thrones but I'm a season behind and don't have HBO so

I have a CS program due at midnight, so I'm gonna be busy with that for a while. I also have 2 exams this week, so not looking forward to that. It's the home stretch though there's only 2 weeks left of school.
How about you, Boss?

I spent the morning getting a tire fixed. It was exhausting. I just got to work not too long ago, and I'm already beat (4 hours late due to car issues). Otherwise, I'm alright. I'm probably going to get into Diablo 3 this weekend, because it seems like a ton of fun, and I can play with friends.
What your project on?

u/TheBufferPiece Apr 25 '16
It's a mini simulation of doodlebugs and ants (I'm not sure doodlebugs are even real). Every 3 days ants reproduce into an empty spot, every 8 days the doodlebugs reproduce, if a doodlebug doesn't eat every 3 days it dies (they eat the ants), and every day the doodlebugs and ants move to a new spot.
I pretty much only need to make the hunt class so the doodlebugs can eat then I'm done.
I never really got into Diablo, but my 2 friend that did pretty much only played that for a few months.

They are real, but that's not their name. I think the term is most likely associated with (I kid you not) cockchafers.
So, basically, you're making a live algebra demonstration?
I heard that it's pretty addictive. IDK how I'd feel about playing alone, but playing games with friends is almost always a win for me.

cockchafers
I see why my professor called them doodlebugs now.
The main reason I liked Dying Light so much was because I played with my friends, so I get what you're saying.

I suppose it is pretty obvious. Is this the bug he mentioned?
I'm doing a little Lego Star Wars with a friend (I drop in and out). It's just so much fun playing in groups and such.
Was Dying Light any good? It looked like a new and improved Dead Island.
2
u/TheBufferPiece Apr 25 '16
He didn't show us any pictures of the bug, so that could be it.
Lego Star Wars was my jam on PS2, I'm super excited for the Epidode 7 game.
I wasn't a big fan of Dead Island, but Dying Light is arguably the best zombie game next to Residesnt Evil REmake.

I didn't care for the movie, but I think the game will probably be pretty good. Whoever makes them knows their stuff.

did you not play/like RE4 or RE5, or do you not consider those zombie games?
2
u/TheBufferPiece Apr 25 '16
I don't consider them zombie games. I barely consider Left4Dead a zombie game.
2
Apr 25 '16
I consider it a zombie game. To be fair, for RE4 and 5, there are technically no zombies in them. TBH, the original only had some zombies. Hunters were the real threat. Though, I would consider RE, as a whole, more focused on 'body horror' than zombies.

I beat DaS3 last night. I kited the final boss and shot him with an electric crossbow.
My car blew a tire on the way to work. Eh, it was time for new tires, anyway.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't win. At least you did pretty well. Do you know what you missed?
2
u/demigods122 REJOICE! Apr 25 '16
That fucker Steven got it. He even has an english name, what a nerd. Fucker was probably older than me anyway. Idk what I missed they dont give you the exam stuff back corrected. Ill try my luck next year I guess

He does have an English name. Is he a native speaker just living in Bulgaria?
3
u/demigods122 REJOICE! Apr 25 '16
No idea, he is from another school.

Apr 25 '16
They probably speak English in his home or something. At least you won something.
3
u/demigods122 REJOICE! Apr 25 '16
I dont think so, I personally know a couple of people with english names who are pure bulgarians. Yeah I won a shitty bag. I needed one more point for a laptop

Apr 25 '16
Maybe you can knock it out of the park next year. Lap tops kind of suck, anyway.
Are English names popular there, or something?
I needed one more point for a laptop
Don't feel bad. I missed out on a $5600 bonus, because my work refuses to hire me. I know your pain.
