The Twilight Realms

This is the part where I post lyrics to a song no one's probably ever heard before, and then explain the meaning behind each line. Why? Because this is my blog and I can do what I want! The song is "Goku vs Superman. Epic Rap Battles of History Season 3." You can find it on YouTube. (Note: I'm writing these lyrics exactly as they appear in the video, just to explain the lack of capital letters) Verse 1: Superman  - Just before this verse, we see Clark Kent transform into Superman by spinning rapidly on the spot, which he often did in old TV shows as well. Who can stop this constipated jock  - A common humourous observation about Dragon Ball Z is that the characters all seem like they're constipated, referring to all the grunting and yelling they do while powering up/transforming etc. with the awful animation  - Dragon Ball Z is often criticised for its sub-par animation, featuring extensive use of stock footage and copy-pasting, particularly during its...

So I was just playing Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on the GameCube and I thought I'd do this little fun (read: useless) project. Basically, I'm going to attempt, using a combination of a katakana table and Google translate, to write the level names as they would be written in Japanese katakana (the Japanese system for writing non-Japanese words), transliterated back to English letters. As an added bonus (since I really like them), I'll add the names for the music tracks that play during those levels. Are you ready? Okay, let's go! Hero Side Story City Escape - Shiti Esukēpu Music: "Escape from the City" "The Mad Convoy Race" - When being chased by GUN truck Wild Canyon - Wairudo Kyanion Music: "Kick the Rock!" Prison Lane - Purizun Rēn Music: "This Way Out" Metal Harbor - Metaru Hābā Music: "That's the Way I Like It" "Can't Stop, So What!?" - When riding the snowboard at the end Green For...

Thought I'd do another list that no one will read, this time debunking common rumours (mostly resulting from misquotes). Here we go! Myth: Al Gore claimed that he invented the Internet. Fact: Al Gore only said that he took the initiative in creating the Internet, by spearheading the funding that helped develop the technology that made the Internet possible. Myth: John Lennon said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. Fact: He actually said "more popular than Jesus", and was making a statement on Christianity at the time (the full quote was "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that - I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now - I don't know what will go first, rock and roll or Christianity.") His statement was taken out of context for a smear campaign by the American press. Myth: Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat during a live performance. Fact: Actually, this really did ha...

Haha, how's it goin', bros? It's gonna be another "random facts" blog post, this time about the YouTube gamer known as PeeeeewDiePie! PewDiePie's real name is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (in Sweden, apparently people have two middle names). He explained the origin of "PewDiePie" in one of his "Friday with PewDiePie" videos, that it originated from his childhood playing games. He took "pew", the sound of a laser being fired, and put it together with "die" (as in the verb "to die"), forming PewDie (pronounced like "pew" and "die" put together, as opposed to "pew-dee"). Later on, when he forgot the password to his PewDie YouTube account, he made a new account called PewDiePie, based on something he used to say when playing games as a kid. (The new account name being pronounced "Pew-dee-pie"). In the game Surgeon Simulator 2013, the achievement "It's In! It's I...

Thought I'd do something that every blogger does eventually given the right time and tools. Upload cat photos! Here's my tortoiseshell tabby, NiGHTS. She's about four years old (I think, not entirely sure). Wondering what the heck I'm doing. The slightly blurry nature of the photo is because I have no idea how to use a camera. Again with the blur. She likes to look out of that window a lot. Again wondering what the heck I'm doing. She's a bit of a temperamental cat - she'll let you pet her (usually), but if you try to pick her up and she doesn't want to be moved then she will scratch your face off. So blurry... @_@ Already losing interest in what I'm doing. And suddenly being interested again. Well, there you have it. Look forward to more blurry and unprofessional photos of NiGHTS in future blog posts! Love and peace!
