Caption Battle: Love Hurts...
"It's that time again..."
"To really just relax?"
"To do battle with THE AMAZING RANDO?!"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last week's winners:
In third place, riffing on the ad-things: red.alchemist!
Music used to be her anti-drug.
In second place, pretending that Japan is Soviet Russia: Calaya!
In some countries, zombies offer you their brains.
And in the coveted first place... because the podcasters liked it and since it was good enough to break my previous "don't do it" suggestion... Shinmarooooo!
Things got awkward in a hurry when Yui screwed up her grammar and told Azusa the cake was a "lay" ...
It's almost sad to think that K-On! Month is almost over... let's end it with a bang!
So once again, we trust in the fertile depths that is Des-bre-ko's Imageshack to bring a very special screencap... cosplay, Halloween, it's close enough... anyway, that's Mio in the maid suit. Have fun with it:
You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.
And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content. You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. So good luck, and remember: this was the scene that invented "Moe-moe... kyun!"
Three Sweet Updates
Tonight was a productive night in the otaku universe. We have three huge updates to announce:
Separated Backroom
We've separated the backroom into two areas: Notifications and Updates.
We did this for two reasons: First, so that your backroom will load much quicker moving forward. Second, so that you can see a monster 100 updates per page (versus 30-40 before).
In addition, we made it so that new updates are in bold for five minutes, instead of disappearing the second you refresh.
Gift Display Change
We've reversed how gifts are handled. Before, you had to select the 10 gifts you wanted to appear on your portfolio. Now, everything appears on your portfolio EXCEPT what you select.
Quiz Browsing
When you visit our quiz site you can now browse ALL our quizzes using the paged navigation found at the bottom of the screen.
...Now go play! Post any feedback here and enjoy!
theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VII - Ep. 2
Evidently, Adam's theme music shall be "Bad" by Michael Jackson. Go fig', huh? Also funny... in the book, Coraline Jones often comes up against people who call her "Caroline"...
Music - Tenkuu no Canaria by Nana Mizuki from Tales of Symphonia
~Tethe'alla-hen~

Caption Battle: Eat... Become One Of Us...
"It's that time again..."
"To make another pizza run?"
"To add an egg to get breakfast?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last week's winners:
In third place, only because the podcasters deserve it a little: Shinmaru!
Ritsu and Mio still cannot believe Ichigo pronounced Desbreko's name correctly.
In second place, because anime will always go for the shortcut: darkeangel!
Ritsu: Got your nose!
Mio: No, I got your nose!
'Mugi: Wait... where ARE our noses?!
And in the coveted first place with just a very suave caption... DemonKingAtticus!
Survey says only 2 out of 3 friends will feel that the current situation is a dream.
Only two more caption battles to go before K-On! month comes to an end! And Halloween is coming up... what will that mean?!
This week's screencap actually comes from one I took as opposed to Des' - see, here at theOtaku.com, it's sometimes just worth doing things yourself when the opportunity arises. Anyway, left to right is 'Mugi, Yui, and Azusa (I know, new character. Crazy.).
Beyond that... yes, we are all aware that the cake is a lie - even people who have never heard of Valve Corporation know that the cake is a lie - mention that the cake is a lie at your own risk/expense/unoriginality/failure. Ahem... anyway:
You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

Long-Time Glitch Fixed!
This has to be the #1 reported glitch we've had since Version Vibrant's launch: The fact that in your comment manager, guestbook signings will often link you to the wrong page. No more! All's been fixed there forever.
