Welcome, friends

"A couple years of experience in the Otaku circle have taught me at least one good lesson--to trust Adam."

"Adam is actually a decently accomplished troll."

Long Time No Talk

I know I haven't been posting as often and with as much gusto and great news as I used to. I'm sorry about that.

Most of my time is spent on my game, which is coming along pretty well. We'll have a small site launching for it soon as well as a launch trailer in the same vein as the Version Vibrant trailer. It's so far taken a year of my life away (yup, longer than Version Vibrant took, but games are hard and this is my first crack at one). A lot of my heart and soul has gone into it so I hope it's received well.

We're (eventually) going to announce the first set of Otaku Angels as well as introduce a new chat mod system pioneered by Beth.

I've also been trying to understand my own psychology. I have some scars I need to patch up and some knots I need to untie in order to live a happier life. Special thanks to Indi who's been recommending good books to read. It'll be a long battle...

Random Thought

Hyde or VAMPS?

I just got an email asking if I wanted to interview the singer HYDE about his band VAMPS. Any fans here? What do you think?

Backroom Tweak

What do you all think of the small tweak I made in the background?

I put a link to the newest challenge and then moved comment replies to the same line as comments

I'm thinking of ways to promote challenges more, the big problem now is that it's not really unified, you have to click a lot to see what's new, unless you're subscribed to the challenge creators

Otaku Prom

As some of you have heard we might be hosting an Otaku Prom in the future! It'll have dancing and mingling and all that fun stuff.

Who will you take to it?

Also, I was at a celebrity cocktail party tonight and Third Eye Blind was playing in the corner. Check it out:
