So there's this "new" advertisement for Pepsi Max on television lately. I don't know if other countries get it or even if other states do, but it's pretty stupid.
It starts off with a girl and a guy just getting out of bed, clearly after a one night stand. She says she's going for a shower, so he goes into the kitchen and opens the fridge. Insert bottle shot of Pepsi Max.
Queue there's a knock on the door, it's the girls parents. Her being in the shower can't answer it, and given the guys look, they probably suspect she's all innocent. So naturally, he did what every guy does in such a 'difficult' situation. He drinks the Pepsi Max.
Suddenly, a swat team bursts through the window, and begin to tidy the place up. Apparently they have guns that can shoot covers onto and under beds, effectively making it. Why not. So they clean the place.
Cut to the woman getting out of the shower. She walks into her lounge to see the place all cleaned and her male friend on the window with one of the swat team. He makes a "Call Me" sign and they jump out.
The stupid thing is, in the background of that shot, you can see bombs landing on all the surrounding suburb. So they've just cleaned this flat and are now laying waste to the surrounding area. I know carnage makes me want to drink Pepsi Max!
(I'm lying. I'm staying with Coke. And none of that other flavour diet or zero crap.)

Ah! November!
I have three 21st birthday parties to attend this month (one being my own!). My party on the 14th, a friends party on the 21st and another friends party on the 28th. I foresee my liver hating me.
I should probably forewarn that if I have access to a computer, I'll undoubtedly post something stupid here, I always seem to.
So I finally finished Buso Renkin. It's quite an interesting title to say the least. Luckily as the show progressed, the problems I'd mentioned earlier appeared to be less noticeable, still there however.
I actually found myself enjoying this title, which is completely unlike me. Normally crude humour and stupidity turn me away from shows, but that apparently hasn't been the case here. I guess it was executed well enough that it didn't bother me as much as it could have. Could have done without the absurd amount of crotch shots however...
One unfortunate thing about this title however, if it gets a big enough fan base on BYOND, you could probably expect an absurd amount of games based on it. Mostly because there is a limitless potential for it. The Buso Renkin objects themselves are usable by both humans and homunculus alike, and the powers involved can only be limited by ones imagination. Hey, at least it'd be refreshing.
But I'm not here to review the anime (I did that here), just to state that I enjoyed it.
(Speaking of which, I also finished watching Heroic Age the other day. A truly fantastic title! More on that later however.)

It's about time.
For the last few years, I've found myself wanting to drink more coffee than tea, the only problem with this was: I hated the taste of coffee.
Why would someone want to drink something he clearly hates the taste of, you ask? Simple: Efficiency. Coffee is a great source of caffeine, something I've been absorbing into my body, every day, for the past fifteen years. As up until recently, I've been drinking multiple cups of tea every day for the aforementioned fifteen years, averaging from anywhere between 3 to 12 a day (during the particularly bad days the last time I quit smoking, I was going on 20 or more). Aside from tea, I had a 600ml bottle of coke every day for the last three years of my school life.
(I like to think all the milk in the absurd amount of tea I drink is the reason I've never broken or so much as fractured a bone in my life. But I doubt it.)
And after much trials, it's finally happened. You see, the human body is an interesting thing, apparently, you only have to suffer the taste of something you hate so many times before you get used to it, and maybe even begin to enjoy it. Of course, coffee was a foul bitter taste and that couldn't be helped.
So over the past few months, I've been slowly subjecting myself to the taste of various available coffees in the house and just now, I found myself enjoying the taste of one. Hurrah. Many, many sleepless nights to come, working away in my dark corer on various projects.
If you hadn't already told, several times, I'd probably care.
So I watched the first four episodes of Buso Renkin last night. I figured I might as well give it a try, I have nothing better to do with my time.
Unfortunately, this title has gone to opposite way to Inuyasha. Instead of recapping every episode thus far, they decided to re-explain points that had just been explained, several times, at great length, whether you want them to or not.
I'm fairly sure from the first to forth episode, they only changed every second sentence. You can make a drinking game out of this anime, every time they say "that's the power of (his/my) Buso Renkin", take a shot. Unfortunately, you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning by the third episode.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for filler, but I'd much rather listen to corny anime-themed Japanese music with a bunch of dancing girls every time they need something to bridge gaps. Sure, it has nothing to do with anything that's just happened, but it wouldn't bore me to tears, and is easier to skip without suddenly missing key plot points.
Seriously, I'd prefer this for filler. (Sexual References... I think)
Yes, I'm also aware the song is Swedish.
Other than that small complaint, it doesn't bother me. The male protagonists inherit stupidity tends to annoy me less than your average comic relief character. Unfortunately, the comic relief character appears to be one of his friends, but I can't be certain only four episodes in. But on the plus side, the females keep referring to him as a pervert, and he's already tried to give the protagonist a porn magazine. This is a bonus.
At the moment, the series can go either way. Once I've either watched it all, or at the very least, as much as I can tolerate, I'll give a better review about it.

Hey there, Tiberath. I've been trying to contact you regarding Mobius (BYOND RPG submission) via email and I haven't received a response since you asked for details. Was I supposed to make a submission on the BYOND RPG forum?
I'm a bit confused as to what I'm supposed to do next. If you have the time, I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thanks!

That depends on what you're after. Presently I'm running multiple computers and generally have my pager running on the computer I'm not stationed at.
Feel free to drop me a line at tiberath@tibbius.com or for MSN ambient546@hotmail.com on what you wish to ask me.

No I'm not BYOND Staff, just a volunteer. Matters of account retrieval should be handed directly to BYOND staff via the Support Form. In future, any problems you have should be posted in BYOND Help.

Don't stress too much. I have pesky real world obligations to fulfil as my father wants me to dig up the drive way so he can lay cement. Chipping through gravel and clay with a large and heavy metal pole isn't easy.

Well, you'd start wrong. I'd write a datum to control the benefits given for members (and subscribers).
