    Why is this song so effing awesome?

    By the way, this VN is surprisingly good for the one I've never heard about. The plot is okay so far, though it reminds me of a cross breed between Persona 3 (scary monsters lurking in the dark, woo~) and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (have you heard about a book with such a cast as Mary Clarissa Christie (the protagonist), professor Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes, colonel Moran, Conan Doyle (yes, he meets his own characters IRL), baron Munchhauzen, Howard Lovecraft, Bram Stoker, Winston Churchill, etc. etc.?). But the plot is not the most important part: it is the atmosphere that matters. Everything contributes to it: from the excessive English in the character's dialogues to unique graphics style to breath-taking music (well, you already heard that one). The only flaws I can point out right away are the lack of voices for some of the characters and poor 3D graphics at the game part (yes, it has one).

    So yeah, while the whole world waits for 13.11, I wait for 21.11. Screw Arthas.

    Finally, I got some hard-earned money - nearly 230$! Of course, I began to spend them right away - some HLJ orders, nice shiny Shana bag, Shadowmoor prerelease (okay, not yet), some other small things... And, of course, beautiful artbook - GU-REN by Ito Noizi featuring tons of Shana arts and no Gurren-Lagann ones. But, I still don't have it. Why? I wonder... I ordered it this wednesday, and this saturday I got an email saying that I can grab it whenever I want (except Sundays). I went to their office right away, and... No one was there. Awesome. Later they said that they were at anime party, but how could I know that? =\ Even more, they said that someone already bought my order, and that I should wait two more weeks until they get that artbook again. Sorry, WHAT?! And how should I know that I'll get it this time for sure, before someone else gets it?

    Awesome =\

    Right now, I am making my extendo sig (at long last!). There is going to be some pretty cool stuff - well, you'll see. At first, I was going to post blog stuff there - but heck, why not post blog stuff in the blog itself?

    It won't be so hard - I already have a couple of them, so another one will be pretty easy. The main problem is, all of them are in Russian, so this is going to be my first international one. Heh, it'll be pretty fun =P
