I'm Done, But Not Really

So, with the release of Frank's Basement, I've decided to leave Divertissementz and start my own. I figure if I'm gonna blog reguarly, I might as well have my own. Anyway, it's called Roll for Perception. I'm looking for others willing to blog too, so if you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll get you set up.

Festo AirJelly blows my mind!

This is probably one of the coolest inventions I've seen in recent memory. How it controls the amount of helium and rises and falls also confuses the living daylights out of me. Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch the video. My eyes are still popping out of the sockets.

Clannad meets Pokemon. Result? Entirely too cute for it to continue existing

Yeah, so those of who check Kotaku on a regular basic probably already saw this. For those of you who don't, watch this. It's a fan made combination of Clannad with Pokemans. You, uh, might wanna brace yourself for cute overload.

New Naruto Game Animation blows my mind!

As most of you know, I am most certainly NOT a Naruto fan. At all. But after seeing some stills from the upcoming game, Naruto: Ultima Ninja Storm (commence eye roll manuever), I had to see what this thing looked like moving. I found a trailer on Game Trailers this morning. I have to say, despite my apprehension to play a game with the word Ultimate used so prominently in it's name, this looks amazing. It's the first time where, were I not paying attention, I could easily mistake this for the best hand drawn animation ever!

Best Viral Video of 08!

Ok this video wont imbed correctly, so here is the link. This is the funniest thing I've seen so far this year. I thought it was real for the first minute, then was like WTF?

Dreamworks Bought the Rights to Ghost in the Shell

"DreamWorks has acquired rights to the Japanese manga "Ghost in the Shell" with plans to adapt the futuristic police thriller as a 3-D live-action feature."

Tell me that doesn't excite. Just try and say that without smiling. Yeah, I didn't think so. This is definitely exciting news for all of us Batou loving nerds who have been waiting for something awesome like this to happen. Oh, and did I mention that the movie is being produced and directed by Steven Spielberg?

Granted, I'm not the biggest Ghost in the Shell fan, but I definitely thought it was a cool concept and it's a perfect candidate for a live action adaption. This gets me excited for a couple of reasons. First of all, it means that more and more studios are realizing the potential of turning animes into live actions. And second, I really hope this begins a trend. There are at least two anime live action adaptions I know of thus far, including this one, and so far they both sound awesome. (Yes, I'm a DBZ fan. So sue me.)

Now they need to start doing a few other good anime live actions. Then I'll be happy. =D
