Anamanaguchi is a chip-tune/rock band that mixes live instrumental rock music with synth music ran through a hacked NES chipboard, to create a pretty interesting sound. They did the soundtrack to the Scott Pilgrim vs the World game a couple years ago. Their new album just came out a couple weeks ago and I'm listening through it now, it's pretty awesome. ^___^

Worried about the increasing ease with which law enforcement can access cellphones? How can you protect yourself? Step 1 would be: Don't call the cops when you're embarking on a petty crime spree. It's a lesson two men learned the hard way, thanks to a humble pocket dial to 911.

The Fresno Police Department provided TODAY with a recording of a 911 call, made at approximately 11:30 p.m. PT on May 9. In surprisingly decent quality, the audio documents just over a half-an-hour in the lives of Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, two 20-year-olds who ended up being intercepted and charged with burglary, conspiracy and possession of stolen property.

"This stuff just doesn't happen — where a crime is captured from beginning to end," Sergeant Jaime Rios told TODAY. "The 911 call was still open at the time of the arrests, and the officer took the phone and ended the call himself."

From the sounds of things, the two California men were just sitting around chit-chatting when one of their phones dialed 911. The 911 dispatcher's attempts to communicate with the callers went unnoticed, likely because the phone was buried in one of their pockets. When one of the men declared, fairly quickly, that they "need weed," the dispatcher decided to keep listening. The pair then decided to break into a car.

The dispatcher was able to hear the men plot how to break into the vehicle, the moment the glass shattered, and even the strange way in which Teklemariam and Rinehart divided up the prescription pills they discovered. (One of the men had trouble counting out the pills, and can be heard cursing before restarting his count.)

The dispatcher was able to feed information from the call to a police officer — and with that, it didn't take long to find Teklemariam and Rinehart. "He's following the s*** out of me, bro," one of the men said, once he realized that the officer was trailing behind their car. A few moments later, they got pulled over.

Though the men tried to play it innocent — "What'd I do officer?" is heard — the situation resolved itself quickly. The officer searched the vehicle, found the stolen items, and quickly busted the two men, one of whom couldn't wrap his mind around what happened. "The phone really called 911?" he asked. "This phone really called 911? Damn."

Pokémon ‘X’ and Y versions?! Mewtwo ‘X?!’*1 To the Pokemon brand: You’ve officially run out of ideas and you’re welcome . . . *LOSERS!!! * WHAT the!!

It just dawned on me a night ago while I was re-reading one of my DIGIMON scripts from 2012.

Pokémon ‘X’ and Y versions?!

Mewtwo ‘X?!’*1

To the Pokemon brand: You’ve officially run out of ideas and you’re welcome . . . LOSERS!!!

Looks like the ones, who claim to have been ripped off years ago have become hypocritical, net-scouring rip-off gangstas themselves!!

I’m fully okay with the DIGIMON series using DECODE in their game title Digimon RE : Digitize Decode (dropping June 2013), which they got from a line in one of my DIGIMON scripts from last year (I was elated!!) because it was wholly my intention for them to somehow see it and consider adapting the aforementioned scripts into a series/follow-up films.

HOWEVER!!

As far as those ‘geniuses’ over at Jokémon go: I’ll be hanging onto the ‘Sommelier’ portion of my name, thank you, I worked hard for it + used it from inspiration, and didn’t STEAL it!!

It ain’t no allegation, PKMN Feraligatrs!! You may think you have everybody fooled with these new ‘titles,’ but I’m blowing up your poo-stained spot right here, Satoshi and company!! Honored, my a**!! Those ideas came from a DIGIMON series I wrote in the Fall of ’12 + from the name of a certain character I created with X in it!! I wasn’t BORN yesterday, and I hope your gaming sales PLUMMET to Hell when your tired a** “games” get released! *Put ‘em on a dunk tank seat*

Crucial Note: It looks like 3D s*** anyway!! The same old hackneyed crap meant to rejuvenate interest in the game series, which they concoct over and over again and which is the chief reason why I don’t purchase these armpit-odorous, bear-attacked, wack-a-doodle games anymore!!

Pokémon: You’re DEVASTATED!! DEVA-F*******-STATED!! How DARE you?! Do you know who I am in real-life? You’d faint!!

As for the chromosome games coming up, Pikachu is crying on the hamster wheel you keep putting it on time and time again! “I had a dream my life would be… ! So different now from what it SEEEEEEEEEMS!!” Just a bunch of raggedy, played-out, desperate, money-hungry bastards, including Satoshi Tajiri! He may be a legend within the anime world, but he’s lost respect from me for okaying a clear rip-off that Pokémon fans swear so much against as far as the Digimon franchise goes!

You’re a Lvl. 2 JOKE, Satoshi Tajiri, and I am done looking at you as a man with any sort of class or dignity! You need a “Thunder Bolt!” up your seizure-inducing a**, old man! Bad!

Shame on the Pokemon game-developers and producers for doing this and not thinking it would come back to haunt them, probably on their high horse thinking “Who cares? The Burst is just a measly little fan-site that only a small number of people within the anime community know about. Let’s rip this STRAIGHT from this guy’s script and keep moving.” Well, today I’m CERTAINLY letting the facts be known!!

“Pocket Monsters” (or whichever tongue-tying way you wanna’ call it in Japanese) ripped off my literary work at The Burst and other works as well! Ever played the original ZELDA games from the 80’s?! Among others!! Similar my a**!! Yet they themselves were ‘ripped off!’ G-T-F-OUTTA’-HEEEEAAAAHH!!

PKMN creators: “Return!” Go put yourselves in lasers going into balls!!

lol *You’re SO not as sneaky as you think, Pokemon Company!*



*1=As an aside, to the PKMN creators, NOW you wanna’ update Mewtwo? 1999 called! It’s sayin’ there’s no hope! And what ELSE are you gonna’ stuff inside Mewtwo X’s head?! ]]> Video Games Digimon_Somm... http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=248991 DreadOut (PC Survival Horror set in Indonesia) http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=248990&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 15:09:38 GMT Some of you may have heard of this already, but last night I played the demo a bit and wanted to start up a discussion.

As a big fan of horror games, I was very intrigued when I first heard about this game. It sounds pretty much just like Fatal Frame, where you play a school girl named "Linda" who uses her smart phone and other devices to interact with creatures/ghosts of Indonesian mythology.

Here's a write up about the game on siliconera:
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/16...game-dreadout/

They had a crowd sourcing thing related to it just recently, but unlike a lot of other crowd sourced projects, this game was pretty much done already. The $25000 they were asking for was just to finish up the game and distribute it.

There's a demo available, but the URL for it seems to be down at the moment.

I played the demo for about 10 minutes last night before having a "nope.jpg" moment and quitting out. I should have even tried to fire up the game close to midnight with all the lights out and being alone in my house. Graphically it's definitely not a AAA title, but looks pretty good. It feels a lot like Fatal Frame, only the keyboard/mouse controls make it easier to move around.

Anyway check it out. It looks like a winner. ]]> Video Games Gibb http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=248990
