Manga for Charity

2011-11-24T23:18:00.003-06:00

The Holidays are here again and so I feel once more compelled to raise money for charity. As Desert bus just passed I figured what better than to raise a little more for Childs Play (and clear some clutter from my shelves while I'm at it.) And with that I present this Auction

This Auction!

It's my entire collection of Yu Yu Hakusho (Volumes 1-14) I set the starting bid at 5$ which is a hell of a deal no matter how you look at it. To anyone who wins the auction I will also sign the books at their request (if you really want me defacing things like that, but to each their own >.>). Half of the money raised will go to the Childs Play Charity. You can find their website here if you just wish to donate directly. Happy Holidays all, more content coming soon!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of material lately guys. Life is a little hectic at the moment. Between starting up classes again appartment hunting and part time job hunting I haven't had alot of chances to get alot of the things I want done, done since getting back from Australia.

Kaiser LK and I had a great time down there though and once I get a new charger for my camera we'll have a video or two of that up on Teamfourstar.com for that. I have plans for up coming vids that include the following:

-Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged (currently scripted)

-Lets Play Amnesia:Justine

-A new project for content on the TFS website

-more movie reviews

You may have noticed I did not include any Outside the Otaku on that list. That is because I have decided to take a hiatus from that project. It started due to the near impossibility to get anything scheduled on the TGWTG update calander and then om reflectionI realized I wasnt having the same amount of fun I once was with it. If I'm not enjoying the project I make I always feel it effects the quality of the finished product and I try not to post anything unless I am proud of it. I know some of you were really looking forward to more of them, but until my drive returns I feel I need to take a break from OtO.

Hey guys, Lani here! Currently working on YYHA20 (Sorry it's taking me so long really trying to make it better than 19 for ya :p) as well as a few TFS Behind the Scenes videos. Just typing this up as a bit of an update for you all.

So yeah, the Holidays are coming up and unfortunately I just recently lost my part time job at the movie theater ^^;
So in a rush to try to get some money go buy presents for my family I'm selling off my Collection of Berserk Manga to anyone who wants them. I'm auctioning em off in sets of 5 although I am missing Vol 18 so that set is a little cheaper. Check out the sets below:

Vol 1-5

Vol 6-10

V0l 11-15

Vol 16-20 (missing 18)

Vol 21-25

Anyone who buys them shoot me an email and I'd be glad to autograph em for you though I don't really know why you'd want me messing up Kentaro Miura's artwork :p

Hope everybody out there is having a good Holiday season and I hope these Manga will make a collector happy ^^v

Peace Everybody!

Sooo much to do in so little time, but luckily you should be seeing alot more work from me in the coming weeks.

For those wondering what I've been up to when I am not behind the monitor of my PC I've been either working, going to school or spending time with the lovely Spnkyhappy who shall be leaving for college on Labor Day.

I got some vlogs in the works once I get some time to sit down and record them for both Scott Pilgrim vs The World and The Expendables, though I'm not sure if I should wait to talk about the Expendables until I see Machete cause I really do want to draw a comparison... we'll see.

Other than that my birthday is coming up so woohoo for 22 (sorry for the shitty rhyme) and a few people have been messaging me and Emailing me about whether I had an Amazon Wishlist. Rather than replying to each individually I guess I may as well post it here and on my twitter so here you go

LIST

Honestly I made that mainly as a checklist of things I wanted to get when I had the money to and one night I was just bored off my ass and added some random stuff (Yes there is a Roomba on the list don't judge me!)

So yeah that's what's been goin on in a nutshell. I'll be back later with more updates.

Long time no post

2010-08-25T11:02:00.003-05:00

Hey guys sorry I haven't updated in a while. Been busy trying to get alot of things done most of which are nearing completion so expect some content from me coming fairly soon.

I had a great time up in Canada at Anime Evolution even stayed a few extra days up there with Taka Kaiser and Masako over at Taka's place. It's always fun going to cons, mainly just getting a chance to see some of my closest friends. As much as I find Anime intriguing and visually appealing, I still wouldn't consider myself a fan. I just kind of see it as another medium of story telling similar to any live action show or movie.

Caught 2 movies while I was up there with everybody and I intend on posting a vlog on those since after seeing other people's opinions on them they seem to be incredibly polarizing films. So yes I have seen both Scott Pilgrim and The Expendables.

I really do love going to cons and getting to see my friends. Hell looks like I'm in luck as it appears I'll be going to quite a few this year. I can't really mention many of them right now since only one has really announced us as guests, but I am really looking forward to spending more time with my friends.

Other than all of that I have just been tying to spend as much time as possible with my lovely lady Spnkyhappy before she runs off to college in about a week where it will be much more difficult for me to reach her :(

So yeah for everyone who was wondering where I was and if I would up date I assure all 3 of you I have not forgotten about this blog and will be updating it with new material soon.

Peace y'all!

Garflield Minus Garfield Minus John

2010-06-13T02:31:00.004-05:00

I enjoy Garfield Minus Garfield, it takes a look into the owner John's life and makes him seem far sadder and more pathetic than he seems when he has his obese cat as a foil. Some clips make me laugh harder than others even though they are a little dark.

and some are just odd.

But sometimes I like to have a little fun and make something even more depressing than it was to begin with. So I present to you:

Rage Face

2010-06-08T03:56:00.004-05:00

Just kinda came to my attention that I'm the voice of the Rage Face meme or so some would have me believe ever since this video using an audio clip from my Final Fantasy Unlimited Review was posted.

Not only has it gotten over 200K views (to put it to scale most of my live action vids only get about 20k views where as DBZA gets around 300-500k in the span of a few months) but it's been cited on Encyclopedia Dramatica (probably the only time I will ever link to that site) and Know Your Meme.

Why am I mentioning this at this time you ask? Quite simple really. Due to a small corrupt sound effect file in the latest episode of YYHA I have been working on, the entire episode was corrupted as well as all of the save files for it. Yes that is about 2 days worth of work right there I am glad you asked, and yes I do intend to rebuild it. On that note I present to you my reaction to this situation.
