A shameless bit of advertising.

Ok, now being on the PR team for this leicester anime con I should have done this earlier, but never mind! On Sept 5th-7th at De Montfort University, we have ALCON!! Last year was amazing with screenings, cosplays, competitions and parties. This year we have so much more with;

• Anime Viewings
• Cosplay blind date
• Artist Ally
• Video gaming
• Plushie making
• Japanese Culture lectures
• J-party!

Along with many more! You cant tell me this isn’t worth £25 for the whole weekend! (£10 for day pass). Time and space is limited and ends 30th of June. Don’t live in Leicester? No problem there is safe comfy accommodation for a fantastic price. I attended last year it was so much fun and got to know so many people.

Go to http://www.alcon.org.uk to check it out and sign up! See you there!

SOME AMAZING COSPLAYERS

I was at the MCM Expo this weekend and I have to say these two girls were the first two cosplayers I saw that weekend and I went “WOW” at. There were many more that I did that too over ther weekend but these girls did look amazing.

Well done!

NAYUKI CHAN SAYS HAVE IMAGES

Because I seem to be Obsessed with Anonymous

It is no secret that I have an intrest in this Anonymous Situation that’s going on at the moment. It’s taken over my You Tube time and has taken my attention away from Britney Spears being commited. It might just be me but the Anonymous videos on YouTube from some of the “members” can actually be very entertaining. Though the most entertaining ones are usually when the member isn’t actually in the video (therefore not breaking the rules on Anonymous). So I decided to make a bit of a compilation of all my favs. Paul Fetch may think everyone will HATE ME FOR SUPPORTING ANONYMOUS but I know better than he does

ANONYCAT

OH NOEZ! THEY ARE GOING AFTER LOLCATS!

ENGLISH GIRL SHOUTS A LOT

TOM CRUISE TALKS TO MR FETCH

I AM ANONYMOUS

EVEN ANIME LOLZ

LOLZ

Maybe some more.. once I have watched some more.

CENSORING MS SUZUMIYAH

Mr Gabriel Cardenas came across this post which you may all find amusing. Oh Haruhi. They are censoring your beauty! Fight back!

BOY “STEALS” ONLINE MONEYS! OH NOEZ!

Oh yes. Apparently a boy in Japan has stolen 36 Million yen of Virual Money for the gameMabinogi! Why did he resort to such drastic measures you may be wondering? What could have been so enticing in the game that he had to go and hack into someones account and steal all the money? Well he wanted a pink Princess dress for his character.

OH NOEZ THE WoW IS UNDER ATTACK.

For serious though, how do we treat “online” or “virtual” crimes? Are they just as bad as real crimes? Should people be prosecuted for stealing money from someone else or is BANNNNZZZ working just as well? SHOULD WE REALLY CARE ABOUT ETHICS (yes I did just write Ethnics there and had to correct it) and MORALS IN AN ONLINE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT THAT ESSENTIALLY IS NOT REAL? I have no clue.

These are the questions I pose to you dear Readers.

Maybe you can help.

Robot Wifeu: The Geeks Dream

I was reading this article on Wired and it got me thinking. Could you imagine if Robot’s became so advanced we could actually “marry” them or buy one to fulfil certain needs! *laughs*  It would be every Hikkokomori Anime/WoW/Godknowswhat Geeks fantasy. You know those boys who obsess over Anime girls and think that real girls just can’t quite cut it next to those Animated beauties. They would go mad over having Robot women they can buy and would take the place of a normal woman.

For one thing they could customise the robots to actually look like their fav Anime/Gaming/Celeb. Remember that episode of Futurama where Fry downloads Lucy Lui into a blank Robot and then falls in love with her? That would be what the future would hold! *laughs* Can you imagine walking around and people sitting in cafes or making out with Angelina Jolie or Hayden Thingymabob or Haruhi Suzumiyah or bloody Tifa?! It would be mental! But it would be every uber-geeks dream right? They  could obtain women way beyond their limits! Actually why am I limiting this to guys? I mean girls would be just as excited. Actually I bet every Yaoi Fangirl would buy a pair of boys to resemble those in their fav Animes and make them get it on! I can actually see that happening, Yaoi Fangirls watching Kyon and Itsuki get at it. Deary me. Metal Fever!

The other thing about Robot partners is that like you have complete control over them. If you get sick of them you can just turn them off and stick them in a closet till you need them again. Can you imagine having a fight with your Robot Other Half and simply just turning the volume down so you couldn’t hear what they were saying? That would eliminate all of lifes problems. Because even though these are Robot People they would be able to think and have emotions, well I assume they would. They would be like people you could just control.

My prediction for the far far future where Robots are people is that you will get more people staying inside and disconnecting from Society as you do now. *laughs* I mean the internet has people cooped up indoors imagine if they could get sex whenever they want without any effort too with the woman of their dreams?! You’d have trouble getting them out of bed (Laptop, Robot Women and Games Console Controls at near reach).

Of course it may all just end up like the anime Chobits. That wouldn’t be so bad (:

A Procrastinators Dreams

I procrastinate. But to be honest with you I bet all of you at some point get bored when at work/home and randomly search around on Google for things to watch and see.  I was having one of these moments the other day when I read this article on Wired which suggests that we have “evolved” as such so that our computers are an extension of our brains. We look up facts on Google, we don’t remember email addresses or phone numbers now because they are just stored in our Gmail accounts or on our Mobile Phones. Apparently each generation is remembering less and less basic facts due to the fact we can access basic information at the press of a button. Why should we waste the memory space inour head remembering them?

I don’t think I’m so bad at this. I know my own cellphone number, I did know my home phone number till it was changed a few weeks ago, I know my bank account number and sort code and a lot of peoples emails off by heart. The things I forget are usually song titles (I can never tell you what a song I love is called. I just know the band usually) and peoples birthdays. I need to program my friends birthdays onto my phone so I can have a reminder a few days before. But actually Facebook takes care of that for me now. I know that if you took my phone or my laptop away I would probably be a bit lost. Not for information, but I would simply run out of things to do to waste time when I am waiting for something I have to go to or when I am just simply bored.

A lot of us are way too reliant on our computers. I know that I don’t stay in on mine every night of the week but I know people that do and it’s rather worrying I have to say. You can do pretty much all things from your PC now right? Talk to people, watch TV, watch Movies… you have access to everything so it’s easy to see why people tend to spend more and more time on the Interwebs than they do actually going out. I think that extreme is pretty bad, I mean there is a limit to how much you should spend on your computer surely? It’s not very healthy to not get out and about and I’m sure you’ll get some sort of health defects from sitting around all day staring at a screen. Everyone needs fresh air, excercise and a bit of social interaction everyday.

The thing about me and my PC is, whilst I can probably live without it, I wouldn’t want to live without it. Think about it, we have laptops, wireless internet connections, internets on our mobile phones and all sorts now so that accessing the Interwebs has become a norm. You may  not think it would affect you if you took it all away but it would, even if you don’t use your PC that much. One of my friends only uses her computer and is only online when she’s at work. She said she’d cope fine without having the internet on her PC at work but she wouldn’t. Her job is pretty slow and she spends ALL day on Facebook messaging people, browsing Youtube and listening to Last.FM. She would miss the internet if it was pulled. The internet is a procrastiators dream and no matter how much you deny you wouldn’t mind if it died and never reared it’s head again you totally would! You just haven’t realised how much you would yet.

What was the point to this article? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’ve noticed that at work time would go much slower had I not had the internet on my computer. I read articles on Wired and I read Blogs and I update Pink Domino and before I know it it’s 5pm and I can go home. I am so glad noone is planning to kill the internet. I know I would miss it!

THIS IS NOT HOW TO BE MEROKO
