Shale (Dragon Age)

This pretty much summarizes the character humor in Dragon Age: Origins. Shale has become my favorite playable character. Oh, and if I'm correct, the player-designed character (the one in the ugly hat) is wearing Tevinter robes and the Libertarian Cowl. This clip doesn't require any setup, except for the fact that this is right after you get Shale, when you're leaving the village she's been trapped in for 30 years. And yes, Shale is female.



And I'll leave this with a Shale conversation. It summarizes both Shale and Zevran simultaneously.

Shale: "Order me to do something."
Warden: "Give Zevran a hug."
Zevran: "Now, now. I don't care much for foreign objects invading my personal space. Well... usually."

Otherworld

I mentioned that it was one of my favorite songs and the video I posted for it was enough, but that was the IN GAME video. The song is actually longer than that. This is someone else's fan-made video for FFX, featuring Otherworld and various scenes that make a VERY good trailer for the game and show the premise of the story very well.

Other than the annoying skip in the middle, I think this video shows the more appropriate, though less visually AWESOME, way this should be watched and listened to.

Oh, and for FFXII, Two videos why I think Fran is the most awesome:


And Fran's start halfway through (though you can watch all of them if you want):

Request and Safe Bank

Showing up to say my fill. That's not much, but it's enough.

Yo.

I need all of you to do something for me. Go to the store and look at the price of beef. Then go look at the price of soybeans. Don't memorize the prices and don't tell them to me. Just look at them for a while. Make a face while you're doing it. The stranger the face you make, the better this will work. Try to look like an owl at the beef and a monkey at the soybeans. Then start making funny noises.

Or, as alternative options have been mentioned for other things, dance for a few minutes. It doesn't matter where. Dance alone. Dance with someone. Just dance. "Even if you have nothing to dance to but a spoken word novelty song backed by a generic techno track that sounds kind of like Enya but without the edge."* Try not to do anything too structured; this is to have fun.

*This is a line from the Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie (spoken word novelty) song (backed by...yeah), "The Sunscreen Marketing Board". Look them up. If you can find their "Safe Bank!" skit, you will be well rewarded with laughter. But why make you look these up when I can find them?

The rest of the video is okay, too, but the Safe Bank skit is 3:17 into it. Other than that, I couldn't find the skits I searched for on YouTube. If you have another source for these things, search for Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie.

Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Waldemart

What do you get when you combine Anti-Walmart propoganda, Harry Potter, and Thriller? Well...THIS. Also, it features a break dancing Dumbledore.

Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Waldemart

Hello, Hello

I wasn't formally introduced by Jikei. My name is Toshio, as you can see. I don't say much in my posts, but you'll be affected profoundly by what they contain, I'm sure.

Ha!

It's more than likely that you will read them and become bored.

And in other news, I'm sure I was only invited because of my natural state of Awesome.

So, music time.

KIVIMETSÄN DRUIDI - Jäässä Varttunut

KevJumba

He is funny. That's all I have to say...oh, and this video is from March 2008...and I don't recommend watching this if you're not used to annoying internet sexual culture (the video isn't directly sexual, but when people ask you questions on the internet...well, that's how it goes). Oh, and watch all his videos a lot, especially on his JumbaFund account, as views of videos on that account count towards the "Jumba Fund", which is money that goes to a charity chosen by his viewers.



CHARMANDER!

OH, and on a side note, I've removed the Digsby widget as no one talks to me on it (not that I expect it, honestly). If you wish to contact me, you can email me (or IM me on MSN) at ikimasho@london.com. I do, of course, reserve the right to block people who send spam, chain letters, scam offers, or stupid email jokes (most of them). I'm also willing to do that to people who get too offensive or spammy on MSN, too.

Fallout 3

Maybe some other time I'll do a review of Fallout 3...as soon as it's not as addictive. So far it's a 100% perfect game for me, even though I usually hate FPS games. It more than makes up for it in the humor.

But for now: LYRIC TIME! This song plays in one of the opening movies...hmm...why don't I just post a video of it? This is the preview for the game.



And the lyrics to the full song:

The Ink Spots - I Don't Want To Set the World on Fire

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will do

I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of

Believe me!
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart

America's Got Talent...Sometimes

So, I'm sure that a lot of you watched this past week's season premier of America's Got Talent. If you're like me, you mostly watch just to laugh at the people who don't have talent (and somehow don't realize it). While these do tend to be absolutely hilarious, every now and then someone who actually has talent manages to find their way into these otherwise talentless auditions. So, I've decided to share a few of videos of these rare talented acts.

While I think that there are way too many singing acts on the show, there are some that actually end up being pretty good. (Please ignore the disturbing first act the video shows)

Animal acts are also usually too numerous, without enough talent combined to fill

a thimble (best word that we could think of). This dog, however, is just really

amazing.

Impersonators are usually just plain horrible, but this one was hysterically funny

During this performance, the laws of physics were temporarily disabled

This last video...wow...that's all I can really say

Nothing New

I have nothing new to say, so...



I don't like a7x, but jake2matt did make an awesome video for it, after all. The video is perfect for the song, though that seems like an insult to their video. Either way, the song gets three thumbs up. And that third thumb is "featured" from 3:16 - 3:29.

Double Meanings

Words with multiple translations from other languages are great...why not share some? These are going by pronunciation if they're from a different alphabet. I used roman letters for those who don't have alternate alphabets on their computers, but I could easily have typed them in in Japanese, at least.

FRENCH:
Chou - (a pet name for someone cute), cabbage

JAPANESE:
Kaigan - Beach, Enlightenment
Seiteki - Sexy, Political Opponent, Legal Wife
Yaru - To Kill, To Have Sex
Umi - Beach, Birth, Pus
Tendou - The Sun, Destiny
Bouji - Sex, Lovemaking, One's Dead Child
Kumo - Spider, Cloud
Shi - Four, Death

KOREAN:
Sagwa - Apple, Apology

If you have any others, feel free to share them. I'll add them to the list.

Oh, and video time:

Zombies!

So...that title has absolutely nothing with what I'm going to say, but it sounded good at the time. I have already been introduced; however, just to make absolutely sure everyone knows who I am, my name is Sumomo-san. Don't believe any rumors you've heard about me, they're all lies (at least I think most of them are lies). I'm really not good at this blogging thing, but I promised that I would try.

I'm a major anime geek (not that anyone cares), so I think that I shall post a video about one of the coolest anime characters of all time: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV.

New Member

This blog has a new member: Sumomo-san. Be nice to her. She...probably won't be nice back, but it's okay. If she kills you, you deserve it.

And to commemorate this, it's time to post a video.

Humor

Yeah, not really, but I try...time to get a song stuck in your head after listening to something ridiculous.





And something NOT from Death Note...it's an improvement to a song from the Little Mermaid (the way it SHOULD have been if you listen to all the words)

Sparta

I don't have a better title for this since I don't even know what I'll write. Let's see, I'll start off by saying you're not allowed to cook vampires in the "mall" (in quotes because there's housing there and everything...it's a mini-city, essentially) by my house. Also, sandboxes are meant to bury people, not dinosaurs.

I think my next post may include a link to a picture of a sketch in my sketch book. It's one I'm rather proud of. I may even upload 2 pics from there (my favorites).

Canada.

Tomato.

Sushi.

'Nuff said.

Hmm...time for something else...let's see...random video time:


And another!
