You are reading a post about Haruhi

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

In case you’re curious, the opening pic is from a Haruhi doujin about a dinosaur that makes itself at home in Mikuru’s cleavage.

If you don’t want to find this doujin, don’t click on any of these links.
Onto the point of the post: I read the Haruhi light novel. Here’s how it happened:

I was at a [...]

A Biased Review of Crystalis: Part I

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Crystalis was the best RPG for the NES. Zelda sucked. Final Fantasy sucked. Then came Crystalis—a game so brilliant, so captivating, so devoid of pedophilia that it would surely take the gaming world by storm. Unfortunately, it came out so late in the life of the NES (1990) that it got lost amongst shitty games [...]

A Game? Why Didn’t You Say So?!

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

After watching two episodes, I was ready to shelve Eden of the East for a marathon. It wasn’t bad, but aside from the animation quality, it didn’t strike me as anything promising. Memory loss. Biblical allusions. Male nudity. None of these turn me on. I shall address each in turn:

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

I’d originally planned to chronicle a trip to California, but I was unable to land a summer job there…

The Best Legal Analysis You’ll Ever Read

Monday, May 4th, 2009
