I cant believe I havent made a post for this yet, but to say in short, my Chinese friend got me into finally reading/watching Gintama last year. Ever since, Ive been reading it online, and watching it on AnimeCrazy.net. I even have an account there too! Search up Dokuganryuu if you too are registered, and befriend me!
Anyways, Gintama is a really good anime/manga. Its always comedical, but sometimes its serious. I always usually laugh during each episode. The description of the series (currently about 246 episodes long, each episode being 24min long):
In the early 17th century, Japan adopted strict isolation policies and severed almost all ties with foreign countries. In 1853, the US fleet commanded by Admiral Perry forced the doors open, leading to a modernization of the nation's sociopolitical systems and the eventual fall of the Shogunate. The samurai regime ended its life with the imperial restoration in 1868. That's what history tells, but in Gintama, that's not what happens. Instead of the US fleet, the country is stormed by spaceships coming from four corners of the universe and soon we see it occupied by extraterrestrials. The Shogunate has become a puppet of alien occupation armies. All samurais have been disarmed and reduced to temp workers with no skills who just try to make ends meet. Gintama is a story of a handyman named Gintoki, a samurai with no respect for rules set by the invaders, who's ready to take any job to survive. He and his gang, however, are also among the very few who have not forgotten the morale of a swordsman. Wherever they go, all they do is to create troubles. Troubles that they of course try to solve, but in reality...
And there it is! Gin is always doing odd jobs for the Yorozuya, whether it be saving a princess (or a stubborn alien prince who love to keep monsters as pets, usually causing trouble), getting the last issue of ShonenJUMP from another fan, fighting against the Shinsengumi, or even just eating a kurege udon (jellyfish parts in noodles [sounds delish, no?]) meal, which would not be made by Otae, thats for sure. But to commemorate to all the goodness, I'll post my two favorite songs from Gintama (since YouTube doesnt allow episodes on it, copyright stuff and whatnot. So sit back, relax and enjoy! And remember, go to AnimeCrazy.net if your interested in the series to watch the full episodes!
Im so excited that I finally figured out how to add and edit layers in GIMP!
Ive been wanting to know how to ever since I see people creating cards/wallpapers that look really nice using different texture layers, but didnt have GIMP at the time. Also, yesterday, I made my Gakupo card for the challenge, Honor of the Samurai, and wanted to add texture to it, but didnt know how, though I did have GIMP.
So I moseyed myself on over to the GrooseTube [yes yes, I really mean YouTube, but Groose renamed it, he said it needed a new name, see what Im sayin?] and searched for 'how to add layers in GIMP'. Yesterday when I tried finding a video for it, I couldnt find one that was helpful. Today however, I just clicked on the first one I saw and BAM! First 2minutes helped me already! It was an 11min long tutorial too, but I just watched like the first 2. The lovely little video that helped me was this:
I really should add layers to that Gakupo card I had submitted, Im not pleased with the way it is now. I'll do that when I have time then, and you can expect I'll be making better/more cards/wallpapers from here on out! BELIEVE IT! AND PUT YA GUNS ON!
Greetings ol chaps of theOtaku. What? W-why am I talking like this you ask? Well, its none other than because Ive been watching this extremely jolly 3DS Playthrough by GameChap on YouTube. Now I know that I do not have in my possession a 3DS nor OoT, but one might say Im watching this to ready myself for all the cads to come when I do acquire a 3DS which will most hopefully be at my birthday.
In watching this extremely delightful playthrough, I have seen the OoT 3DS, and might I say its very well re-done version of the original, good deal those Nintendo has done. And now let us get right down to the point. Here my good chaps is the first video in GameChaps jolly walkthrough, in good detail and jolly good commentary. I hope you shall watch it as I have I am currently on part 46 of the walkthrough, good stuff it is or use it in help for when you are playing your own OoT 3DS game. Pip pip toodle doo and all that~
