2.1 Lines per Second
After making a 266 line ASS script for the 127 second ep7 of Nyoro–n Churuya-san, I needed to do something else for a bit. So I decided to make this little GIF I thought of while working on the episode last night.
Sometimes I wonder if Dagger rages over translating all the weird and complex signs in Zetsubou Sensei like I do typesetting them.

Des's Avatar Works
I thought I might start posting the avatars I make from time to time, so that others can use them without having to dig through my ImageShack account. I don't do fancy ones, they're mostly just well-cropped screen shots from the anime I watch with a border, sometimes animated, but they're simple and nice.
Here's a few of the latest ones I've made:
And you can see more (including 150x80 versions of some for use on OB) on my ImageShack account.
If people are interested, I may start making more of them.
Oh yeah, and I wrote a little guide to creating avatars from screens and art, which I posted on OB quite a while ago. The sections about the JPG and GIF formats can mostly be ignored since we can use PNG on theO, but the tips for cropping and contrast are still relevant.
The Des in Its Natural Habitat
Hey, guys! Ever wondered what the Des's room looks like? No? Well, too bad, you're going to see it anyway! Shinmaru's post got me interested in doing this so I totally ripped off the idea from him.
View from the door
My room's door is back in a little alcove due to my closet taking up the rest of the space at that end of the room, so you can't see anything in the corner off to the right. Which is good because that's where I hide all my por—wait, what was I saying?
Apparently I keep my room relatively clean compared to most guys. And there's actually a decent amount of open floor space in here. Though there are pockets of untidiness, such as the closet. And my bed is almost never made unless I've just changed the sheets.
That tin on my dresser, in front of the printer/scanner, has chocolate covered espresso beans in it, which I've slowly been working through since I got them at Christmas. Those things are incredibly strong and potent, to the point that I can only eat a few at a time, and they're the reason I'm on a caffeine high as I write this. It normally takes two or three shots of straight espresso to make me feel caffeine at all so you get the idea.
The computer desk
Beautiful Miku-chan graces my two monitors' wallpapers and President Aria, Pikachu, Raichu, Poliwhirl, and Meowth plushies adorn the tops. The secondary (right) monitor is usually used for chatting through Trillian or theO chat while I do most other things on the primary monitor. It's the reason I frequently watch anime and stuff while chatting at the same time.
That SNES controller is connected through a USB adapter so that I can use it with emulators, such as when producing my Zelda and Super Metroid videos. Nothing beats the SNES pad for old Nintendo games. And I can also connect GCN, PS1/PS2, and Xbox controllers.
The mug sitting between the monitors is perpetually filled with either coffee or tea. It just doesn't feel right to be at my PC and not have coffee or tea to drink.
My speakers are crappy and barely get used. I much prefer my headphones.
TV and game systems
These are directly to the left of my PC so that I can either angle the TV out and play games while sitting at my desk or sit across from the TV on my bed. Currently, only my Wii and PS2 are hooked up and the others are put away in the closet. I hardly ever use the TV to actually watch TV.
The black box on the floor is a system house thing I ordered out of a Nintendo Power catalog years ago, during the N64 days. It stored my N64 and then my GCN for a long time and now it stores my Wii and GCN controllers, some cables, and my N64 games. (My N64 games being Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 2, Perfect Dark, Gauntlet Legends, and Pokemon Stadium 2.) Behind it on the shelf you can also see my Guitar Hero II controller and PS2 multi-tap.
The movies on the bottom shelf consist of...
DVD: UHF, Super Mario Bros. (Yes, I own the SMB movie.)
VHS: Some Cold Steel promotional video, The Mask, Mad Max, Star Wars Episode I, Brain Donors, Spaceballs, a bunch of Looney Tunes cartoons, The Hobbit (the animated one), Pokemon 2000, a bunch of Pokemon season 1 episodes
Yeah, I don't own or watch many movies. And the ones I do watch I usually get through Netflix or see in the theater.
On the shelf above, from left to right, we have...
PC: PlanetSide: Aftershock, Guild Wars plus its expansions, and SimCity 3000 in a stack
Stack o' Zelda, which is all of the pre-GCN Zelda games, with some empty GB and GBA game cases in front of it
SNES: Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III (aka FFVI), Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart
PS1: Chrono Cross, Discworld II, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Tactics
PS2: 007 NightFire, Final Fantasy X, Guitar Hero II, Hard Hitter Tennis (NightFire and Tennis came used with the system)
GCN: Animal Crossing, FF Crystal Chronicles (I lent out Skies of Arcadia Legends for this and haven't gotten it back...), F-Zero GX, Zelda: Collector's Edition, Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Master Quest, Zelda: The Wind Waker, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Tales of Symphonia
Wii: Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Sports
Also, that handle hanging on the wall above my TV is my throwing axe. I was sad that I couldn't squeeze it into one of the pics but I didn't want to take another just for it.
Upper shelves
On the left of the bottom shelf in the picture is my anime binder, which is filled with numerous DVDs. Though it's still not even half way full; I think it holds somewhere around three hundred discs. To the right of that, under the monster plushie, is my portable CD player and a couple smaller CD wallets, in front of which is my old and crappy digital camera. I actually yoinked my mom's camera instead to take these pics because my camera can't handle the crappy lighting in my room.
In the middle is a disorganized mess of various cables. I think there's even an old, original Game Boy link cable in there.
Then we have my DS, which is sitting on top of a carrying case (it's yellow because it's Pikachu themed) inside of which is my original model GBA. My GBA SP is sitting in front of my DS games, with my battery charger on top of it.
The games are...
GB/GBC: Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2, Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Trading Card Game
GBA: Super Mario Advance, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Final Fantasy IV Advance
DS: Animal Crossing: Wild World, Final Fantasy III, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS, Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt
The top two shelves are filled with old issues of Nintendo Power and EGM, and strategy guides. And an Eevee plushie sitting on an Altoids tin. And I still have no idea why my mom gave me a miniature bottle of Brute in my stocking last Christmas.
On the top left are a couple old socket 478 Celeron CPUs and a heatsink/fan. There are more old computer parts on top of the shelves, too, though those ones are dead. I also have a stack of Calvin and Hobbes, and Dilbert collections up there.
The other desk
This is that other corner that you couldn't see from the door. The desk in it is another haven for old computer parts as well as old school books and binders. That motherboard is the bastard that ruined the Lucky Star marathon I had planned out last October when it died on me the day before the marathon was supposed to happen. It still pisses me off when I see it sitting there and remember that.
Shelves above the other desk
On these we have more old computer parts, some in boxes; some boxes for current computer parts; board games; a carpet deodorizer box that does not, in fact, contain carpet deodorizer because we have no carpets in the house and that would just be stupid; other random crap; a monkey stuffed animal... My mom loves buying me monkey stuff—it's a long story—and there are actually a couple others around my room that didn't make it into the pics. Also, Gengar sees all.
Posters above the bed
These are, um, posters ... that are above my bed. I wish I had better ones or some nice wall scrolls. Though the Zelda: A Link to the Past overworld map is still rockin' even if it is all beat up; I believe it's from 1994.
The carved coconut monkey head hanging from the shelves is pretty awesome, I gotta say.
The Big Box
Sitting in front of my closet here is the box that Guitar Hero II shipped in, with the GHII packaging box (which normally goes in my closet) next to it for comparison. As you can see, it's about five freakin' times the size of the packaging box. But that's not even the best part. No, the best part is that the GHII box was at the very bottom of the shipping box with all the packing material on top of it. Seriously, Amazon, WTF?
Also, on top of the Big Box is the box that my latest pair of steel-toed boots came in. They're Wolverines.
And that concludes the tour. Please vacate the premises in an orderly fashion. The ninja attack monkeys will be released in two minutes.
