Welcome to my world.

I'm SomeGuy, 29 years old, residing in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I've studied English Literature, Chinese Martial Arts, and am currently pursuing careers in writing - possibly even in the anime industry itself.

And I work for this site.

And you should be watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.
Or watching Ranma 1/2.
Or learning about the Shinsengumi.
Or planning to visit Vancouver, The Best Place On Earth (actual marketing motto).

Here at the "Smallville" page, I have my personal blog where I'll post about anything and everything. If ya need me or otherwise need to know anything from/about me, here's where I'll be.

If you're really looking for my more professional, site-type stuff, you wanna head over my "Metropolis" world.

Academy Duello Demonstration, Battle Tournament Failure

I got some videos up. Also, I hate that I still haven't quite mastered uploading WIDESCREEN videos to YouTube correctly . . . ahh, one day . . . .

General Demonstration:

The Grand Melee:

Freakin' love these guys . . . anyway, we'll see how long it takes for me to do a complete con review, hey?

In other news . . . The Shinsengumi got owned in the FF Battle Tournament. In the first round. By Team Rocket.

But Team Rocket went on to win the whole thing, so what can you do? Oh! I know what I can do! I can show off the video! I'm the one with red hair . . .

Gotta love lightsabers . . . and gigantic firing squads . . .

Mid-Con Post: What I Learned Today . . .

I'm blogging this down so I don't forget later . . .

Rule one: keep your weapon pointed at your opponent.
Rule two: turn your body to the side to give a smaller target.
Rule three: lean your body away from your opponent.
Rule four: turn the true edge of your blade against the opponent's to move it aside.
Rule five: put the strong of your blade against the weak of theirs.
Rule six: Being on top is better.

Ahem . . .

. . . . . so yeah, I learned some basics of rapier combat yesterday. That was extremely fun. Thank you again, Academie Duello, for coming out to the con!

SomeGuy's Convention YouTube

Alright, Fan Words are chopped down to a feasible number now. Just got snagged on one really long deal that deserves some attention which I'm not giving it and I'll be back on top of my theO work!

Anyway, they were selling hats at the con' that I thought people here would find interesting:

Seem familiar? Hehe . . . yeah, I dunno either.

Anyway, going by the title, I've some videos to share with you guys!

Hijikata Breaks Character: Gintama cosplayer loses it after I told her "what a gay goat eats".

Ka Mate, Shinsengumi Style: Me performing a Maori haka for grins.

And finally: "Welcome to Anime Evolution 2008", a music video montage of the whole con as only Bon Jovi can express:

So long I don't get lazy (or too busy playing with Shadow'), I'll get my reports out and up soon. 'Til then!

UBC Confirmed For Brawl!!!

Feels like I've got a lot of cross-site posting to do tonight.

Anime Evolution's back on track. Same dates, August 22nd-24th.

New Venue: UBC. My old school.

And yes, the Shinsengumi fuckin' saved the con'. I'll write a longer piece all about that in a little while.
