The Twilight Realms

What up, bitches!* It's Kawaii here. As many of you know, I'm a total GLaDOS fangirl. She's like... everything I hope to be someday. So I just thought I'd list some of my favourite GLaDOS quotes for you. I even categorised them, how about that! Oh, uh, some of them might be a little spoilerish. Don't say I didn't warn you. Quotes from Portal "The difference between us is that I can feel pain. You don't even care, do you?" "Maybe you should marry that thing, since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does THAT feel?" "Killing you and giving you good advice aren't mutually exclusive." - This one is also voice actress Ellen McLain's favourite line. I hope I get to meet her someday. "Who's going to make the cake when I'm gone? You ?" "What's your point anyway? Survival ? Well then, the last thing you want to do is hurt me. I have your brain sca...

Yes, Yu-Gi-Oh! again. I've noticed from watching the Japanese dub of the anime that some of the characters actually had named special abilities that had nothing to do with cards (though many of them were actually made into cards for the OCG/TCG). So, in the interests of having nothing better to do, I've decided to catalogue them below for your reading pleasure. Note that the names of the techniques were in English to begin with, they haven't been translated from Japanese. Name: Mind Crush User: Yami no Yūgi Effect: This is the only technique whose name was carried over into the English dub (though only used once, whereas the Japanese version has him say the name every time he uses it), but it's rather vague as to what the effect actually is. Ostensibly, it removes the evil in a person's heart, though it's implied that it can only be used if the target is weakened mentally (for example, in the first episode, Yami no Yūgi was unable to Mind Crush Seto Kaiba un...

Oh baby, here comes the sound! So I thought, on a whim, since I've been into Yu-Gi-Oh! lately, I'd make a list of all the cards that have a mind-control/hypnosis "theme" in the series. The format will go like this: Name: The official English name of the card. Japanese Name: The Japanese name of the card, if it differs from the English name. Translation: A literal translation of the Japanese name of the card, if needed. Type: The type of the card. Level: The number of level stars the card has, if it's a Monster Card. Stats: If it's a Monster Card, the stats will go here. The first number is Attack, the second is Defense. Description: A description of the card's effect, or the card's flavour text in the case of a Normal Monster Card. Name: Alien Brain Type: Trap Description: Activate only when a Reptile-Type monster you control is destroyed by battle with an opponent's attacking monster and sent to the Graveyard. Take control of the att...

Let's go! I'm writing a kind of guide this time, mainly for myself, but others can use it if they want. I'm writing this because literally NO ONE ELSE has written a guide for this yet. So what is it? Well, it's the LASS setup on The World Ends with You, modified for EXP gain. Sounds fun, right? So what is LASS? Well, LASS stands for Lapin Angelique Suicide Special. Basically, it's a specific combination of equipment that turns Neku (the main character) into a walking powerhouse, in exchange for basically making it so that a stiff breeze will KO him. It's high risk, but high reward too. There are three different kinds of LASS setup - ATK, Balanced and EXP. Since I'm interested in the EXP setup, and since I'm basically writing this guide for myself, that's what I'll be focussing on here. Note that this will not be a full game walkthrough - there are plenty of those on GameFAQs. This is just a day-by-day guide on getting the LASS setup, and th...

Present day...! Present time! HAHAHAHAHA!!! This time I thought I'd make something for you guys to not read that would be both fun and educational. A list of useful Finnish phrases, in case you ever decide to visit me! And yes, this means I'm going to teach you how to swear in Finnish. Swearing is an important part of the Finnish culture, and now you too can learn to do it. But before we get into the fun stuff, I'll give you a crash course in Finnish pronunciation. Since Finnish is entirely phonetic, once you know how the individual letters are pronounced you can pretty much say anything in it. The stress is always on the first syllable of the word. So, the Finnish alphabet. I've left out letters that are pronounced like they are in English. a - Short like u in cut, long like a in father e - Short like e in pet, long like "ai" in "air" h - Before a consonant, pronounced like the German "ch", but softer. H is never silent in Finn...

 Osu!   So I have this book called Weird-o-Pedia by Alex Palmer which is full of random facts about all kinds of stuff. I noticed some of the facts were (sometimes tangentially) mind control-related, so I thought I'd list as many as I could here. Sorry if this post gets kinda long, but I hope it's interesting at least. Food & Drink Thinking about fast food makes you work faster. At least that was the case for a group of college students who were asked to read a page of text after some were exposed to images of fast food logos and others weren't. The ones who saw the logos read 20 percent faster. Love & Sex Women are more likely to dream about ex-boyfriends when they are ovulating. Researchers have found that women in long-term relationships have sexual desire for men other than their partner as they approach ovulation. So, if you're daydreaming about that biker dude from college, you might want to wait a week before giving him a call....

Osu!! So, I was going to explain to you who Kawaii and Yuri are in this post. But I thought it would be much more fun to let them do it! Kawaii: What up, bitches?* Kawaii's the name, and you better believe it fits me. I'm a Persocom, also known as a gynoid (I'll forgive android, even though androids are technically male). But don't call me a robot. I'm better than that. Anyways, I appointed myself as TL's conscience/voice of reason, and I'm usually the one who keeps him in line. Though sometimes, he has to keep me in line too. I can't help it, I just like to have fun. Speakin' of which, I love a battle more than anything. Whether it's participating or watching, fighting just gets me really excited, especially when the two competitors are evenly matched. Hey, but I'm not writin' this for a fighting room, am I? I'm writing this for a hypnosis room! I've never actually done any actual hypnosis before, but I just love triggers....

Osu! Back once again with another pointless update for you all. See, I have some kind of weird sayings/catchphrases that I use a lot, so I thought I'd let you all know what they are in the rare case that you might actually be interested in that kind of thing. "This is how [name] [active verb phrase]." Explanation: If I notice that someone has a rather unusual or just pretty cool way of doing something, I'll usually comment on it with this. "Active verb phrase" is basically "does some stuff", for those of you who don't know. "Because that's how I roll, people." Explanation: Basically my attempt at justifying doing something which makes absolutely no sense to do, or why I do things in a particular way. Any word ending in -tion, followed by an exclamation mark Explanation: Demanding something, basically. Or pointing out that something I wanted to see is there. It can go either way, really. "Context." Explanati...

Maybe I should do a bit of a Q & A for people who are confused. Q: What the hell ARE you? A: My name's Twilight Lord. At least online. And yes, it's a name, not a title. I'm a male Felyne/human hybrid, with the appearance and voice of a female. I have a mainly human body, with mackerel tabby cat ears and a tail. I have a pretty slender, feminine build, with long, light brown hair and green eyes. Also, that's nothing at all like how I look in real life. Q: So what do you look like in real life then? A: You really want to know? Fine, then go to www.youtube.com/user/undefeatabletwilight and watch my webcam videos. Prepare to be disappointed. Q: Who are Kawaii and Yuri? A: Kawaii is, for all intents and purposes, my personified subconscious/"voice of reason" (so she says, though she's not very good at it). She was originally a roleplay character, until she got more of a mind of her own through me being tranced. Yuri is a character from a story called ...

OSU!!! Well, here we are again. It's always such a pleasure. But this time, I'm taking things in a bit of a different direction. Starting here, this is for you guys. All you on IRC! I'm doing this blog for you now! Why? Because I care just that much. You should be thankful. Kawaii might write some stuff on here too, if she feels like it. Otherwise, it'll just be me giving you some entertaining, pointless nonsense to brighten up your day. Because that's just what I do. Ouen! Daiseikou! *Google Translate it, you lazy thing. Why do you expect me to do all the work?
