My Anime List
I finally got around to finishing my anime list. The links to Anime News Network aren’t up yet, but I wrote down all the names of the anime on the page. All together (with some of the manga on the Lists: Manga page) these take up more than 32GB so be warned if you download them all
Ebonlore is gone
Yes that’s right. Ebonwh–Ebonlore is gone…from Age of Conan at least. It seems someone hacked their site and their officers’ AoC accounts. Their guild was disbanded, officers lost all their gear and money, and their Guild City and Battle Keep are up for grabs. Oh, and there are some screenshots out confirming Ebonlore’s hacking. Pretty nifty stuff. I’m glad they’re gone though, that guild ruins games.
The C&C Community Petitions for Kane’s Wrath Mod SDK
Over at the EA Forums a petition has been started for a mod SDK for Kane’s Wrath. As a staff member of Generals World and C&C Labs–nay, a fan of C&C– I fully support this petition and urge you do to so as well.
These sites support the SDK (quoted from forum post):

The Truth Behind Kane’s Wrath
An article written by my buddy Blbpaws over at Generals World about who really developed Kane’s Wrath and why the game has as many problems as it does. The answer is not EALA, it’s BreakAway Games.
Approx. $732 Later…
Give or take some change of course. I just bought an Xbox 360 Elite, extra controller (black), Dead Rising, Halo 3, and Lego Starwars The Complete Series or whatever. I’ve played all the games at my friends houses and they all are great. That was $701. The remaining $30 I spent on 2 books to appease my mother. I can now proudly say (when she returns from vacation) that I bought some books as well. Maybe I won’t get yelled at as much
Kane’s Wrath Status on Mods
I see many inviduals searching for Kane’s Wrath mods. I hate to break it to you, but there aren’t any…and if EA does not release a Mod SDK, software used to more easily mod the game, there is a very high chance that there will never be any mods for Kane’s Wrath. Why? Without a Mod SDK modders must decompile Kane’s Wrath, which I must say, will not be easy. Why is there no Mod SDK? EA handed the development of Kane’s Wrath to a 3rd party company. The reason for no Mod SDK happens to be the same reason we, the players, suffered though a bugged game for three months before the 1.01 patch. So look no further for Kane’s Wrath mods, they do not exist.

Greatest Damn Joke Ever
I take no credit for this but….wow it’s good. No, it’s Epic.
In the men’s bathroom, an accountant, a lawyer and a cowboy were standing side-by-side using the urinal.
The accountant finished, zipped up and started washing and literally scrubbing his hands…clear up to his elbows….he used 20 paper towels before he finished. He turned to the other two men and commented, “I graduated from the University of Michigan and they taught us to be clean.”
The lawyer finished, zipped up and quickly wet the tips of his fingers, grabbed one paper towel and commented, “I graduated from the University of California and they taught us to be environmentally conscious.”
The cowboy zipped up and as he was walking out the door said, “I graduated from Texas Tech University and they taught us not to piss on our hands.
JibJab makes a good point
Basically how I feel about the election. Both candidates suck, especially Obama. My only thread of hope is that if he gets elected, he won’t get reelected. I’m going to college for 5 years starting in August so *hopefully* he’ll be out of office by the time I’m out of school. Don’t know about you, but I sure as hell don’t want to pay 50% taxes. Not saying McCain is any better, he’ll probably die in office and that’s not to mention how he’ll probably put us in even more war debt…
Two new ones
Since I’m off work today and too lazy to update the lists, I’ve been watching some pretty good anime.
Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto:
Besides being a long name, the story revolves around a swordsman in Japan. Not too sure of the story so far, only on episode 3…but it looks promising.
Meine Liebe:
Meine Liebe Wieder:
I’m not too partial to stories that deal with kids in school (hell, that’s me. why would I want to watch about that?), but this series is quite good. I’ve only watched the first season, Meine Liebe (German for My Love), but the character development is exquisite. That’s not to mention all these kids are basically prodigies and insanely skilled in almost every skill. They are also the best looking kids in the school so it’s a mini-PGE or mini-Vampire Knight where the girls try to get noticed by the guys…kinda obnoxious but hey, it’s enjoyable. I believe the setting, if it were to be classified in a non-fictional timeline, is pre-WW2 Germany but they have a king.
