True Mud - Sesame Street Parody

True Blood has never been sweeter or cuter.

The Legend of Zelda, Oh How Creepy You Can Be

A guy called Jadusable on youtube has posted videos of a "haunted" The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It has to be one of the most wack-creepy things I have watched in a long time (besides watching/playing the actual Majora's Mask).

Creepypasta

The Happy Mask Salesman will once again haunt you forever.

(There are three ways to find these delightful videos and in-depth video storyline: blogger, website, and youtube)

I had a dream...

Canada once again has proven to me that it is a brilliant place to live.

A professor at Concordia University in Toronto, is adding Mass Effect to his classes "reading" list. I believe Red River should follow in its magnificent footsteps. Or it should at least let us play Little Big Planet to adapt and create an Aesop fable. (Oh, how jealous I am of you Quest to Learn students. I got nothing but eraser dust and a broken computer to play with at my high school. No fun interactive programs for me. No LBP either.)

Thane Krios: Futuristic Lover & Blasto: The Hanar Spectre - Mass Effect 2

Okay, this vid is way too much fun. And it makes me like Katy Perry. Just a little bit.

Can't say I did the Thane romance option, but damn. He does know how to kickass. (Thane is a great squad member in ME2. I used him alot along with Garrus, Tali, Legion, and Mordin).



This is one Hanar on a mission. "Enkindle this."

Night of the Living Trekkies and Klingon Opera

I need this. I want this. I want to own it in all forms. The people who made this deserve medals. Honourary Starfleet badges. (Mental note: the Vulcan Nerve Pinch does not work on zombies. Do not attempt in a zombie apocalypse.)

And now there is a KLINGON OPERA:

As a lover of opera, there is a need inside of me to see this that I can't explain fully. I wish I had bought that Klingon Dictionary when I had the chance.

(Both nabbed from Topless Robot. A great site for the nerd in all of us. Thanks Rob for making my day.)

Merlin S3 | Bradley James & Colin Morgan [Quest No. 1]

I love that we're getting Season 2 of Merlin here in Canada (on Space), but seeing the trailers for S3 is murder.

and



Oh, boys. You make the waiting so much harder. Pray tell us more in Quest 2.

My Tweeting Life

I have officially become a twitterer.

I have always been hesitant to join Twitter. I was one of those people who thought that the only people who ventured on Twitter where stalkerish fans and people who liked to post about their lunch selections.

I was wrong. Naturally.

Sure, there are some people who take celebrity fannishness to a new level, and some people only like to tweet about pudding vs. jello for lunch. But using twitter is actually pretty cool.

I have joined the ranks of the twitterers who follow celebs, laughing with Stephen Fry (@stephenfry), catching up with sarcasm with Misha Collins (@mishacollins), and learning about girl geekisms with Felicia Day (@feliciaday).

I have yet to see anyone brag about the crème brulée they ate after supper, but I'm sure if I looked hard enough, they would pop up and then share their fantastic recipe with me.

My name is Kalaya and I am a Twitter convert. I enjoy tweeting and reading friend’s tweets. The 140 word limit is hard to get used to, but I'm learning to control my ongoing sentences (not applicable to this blog).

Twitter is a good social media device. You can use Twitter to create your own personal brand, as we are learning in PR class. With this blog and a Twitter account, I am making sure that people can hear my voice. You can also share your fannishness with others, tell people about charities they should join, or use it to spread awareness about what ever campaign moves or outrages you. It connects you with people or media outlets that you could have never connected with before, breaching the fourth wall.

Sharing has never been easier.

Thanks CreCom for getting me to join. :D

A Study in Time (Sherlock/Doctor Who Video Crossover)

Absolutely brilliant. I'd watch this in a heartbeat. (Video not made by me.)

Apple needs to stop messing with my MIND

Recently, I received an email for the new iPod touch, for the exclusive reason to make me jealous and wish that the lottery association people loved me.

Apple sends me these emails to taunt me.

Looking at the email and then at the Apple website, a small weeping sensation takes over me. The new iPod touch comes with FaceTime, Retina display, HD video recording, and Game Center. It's like an iPhone, but with no expensive plan and more room for your tunes. I think I just rediscovered love -- again.

I must admit, all the new features might not be pivotal to my existence. But when Apple tells me that I need Retina display on my iPod so I can have a higher pixel density, I can do nothing but be a slave to their whims and believe my overlords.

So if you haven't cried in a while and feel the beginnings of a burning sensation in your eyes, check out the Apple website and don't be ashamed when you start weeping like a baby.

Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar - First Impressions

Finally, I received my copy of Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar after waiting for months, Natsume pushing back its release date more than once. After ripping off the plastic covering and sitting down for a few hours with the game, I thought I’d give my first impressions.
The Good:

• Grand Bazaar deviates from the characters in Sunshine Islands and Island of Happiness
• Crops easier to grow
• You own a bazaar
• Nice farm and town layout
• You can use the one tap L button to run
• The newly introduced jump button (A), you can even get two jumps in by pressing A twice
• The control pad and buttons are used for all actions
• Washroom and sauna in own house
• Cat and Dog choices
• Cute love interests and towns people
• The town mayor Felix has a picture of himself in his own house (he looks rather handsome with his mountain backdrop. Very Ricola.)

The Bad:

• Time only stops when you speak to towns people (there is no pause button)
• On the map screen, you are the only disembodied head (unlike in SI/IH)
• The main girl sprite looks like the boy sprite but with blonde hair
• The B button is used to talk and use your tools (fortunately you can remove your tool with a press of the Y button)
• Colour palate and textures are rather dull looking

Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar might not be a perfect game, but so far, the improved HM formula is keeping me entertained and (after this post) coming back for more.
