In Memory of Bill
We'll miss you, Bill, we'll all miss you. For your exemplary zombie killing services, excellent field medic record, and for always getting to the chopper. You might not have been as godly-awesome as Chicago Ted, but you're damn close. And we wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. We salute you, Bill. Rest in Peace.
That said, L4D2 Demo was officially released after days of delays. I've moved on from office boy Louis to Coach the big guy. The demo is quite fun, albeit short. I thought L4D2 actually wouldn't live up to the hype, but it can prove me wrong as much as it wants. Looks like I'll be playing L4D2 and Modern Warfare 2 all holiday season(unless I feel like joining in on Borderlands).
In other news, I just upgraded to Windows 7. I like it, it's great. The installation was quick and easy, and the GUI appeals to me. If I didn't know any better, I would say Vista was just a beta for 7. Nonetheless, I wholeheartedly approve of Windows 7(as if it really needed my approval).
Moving on, I don't remember talking about how disappointing this fall anime season is. I expected Railgun to be mind-shatteringly awesome, it isn't. I don't see why people like shows like Nyan Koi. I find myself watching shows that continued from the previous season, like Brotherhood, which is really great. But I cannot say I completely dislike this season, solely because of Seitokai no Ichizon. That show floors me everytime I watch it, everytime. (And if you think I'm even going to mention Kampfer or that Inuyasha ending thing, off with you.)
Also, I just watched the Detective Conan movie: The Raven Chaser. It was a nicely spent 2 hours, I think Detective Conan is my only favorite long-run show besides FMA and Monster. And if you haven't seen either of those, what are you doing? Go now.
And speaking of shows, I've been getting into American shows a lot again. Watching South Park again, and catching up on American Dad. Friends loaded me with recommendations like Dexters, Burn Notice(Don't know why I never watched it before), Fringe, and even Weeds(I think that's what it was called). Alongside those are other shows like Supernatural, which are all surprisingly good. Either my standards have fallen, or American shows have stepped up their game. I'm fine with either.
Last, what happened to everyone? Save a select few, it seems everyone else died two months ago or something. I expected to have to catch up on months' worth of blog posts, but left with just a few to read. Oh well. Fair game, I suppose. It's not like I've been writing the most fascinating posts myself.
Well that's it for now, Kai out!

What? What? What?
Update? No. Way.
School.
Lunch.
Work.
Work.
Study.
Fall asleep at desk.
That's the routine, life is great.
In other news, october anime season has started. And Q4 gaming season is about to roll as well. Gaming +1, Anime +1, Time I have left -2. I think I need to officially switch to the 30 hour day.
You know what? I had much more to say, but I forgot all of it. Short attention span = FAIL. OTL.
and a friend keeps sending me these as if I'm interested... Okay, I'm slightly interested.

Update
Because I haven't for so long.
I realized I haven't kept up with posting/informing people and friends what is actually going on in my life. Through IMs, all I really say is "oh, same old", or "just the usual". I've also noticed I've been steadily withdrawing from society for the past few months. Could I be on the road to becoming a hikikomori? Now that's an entertaining thought.
I've been buying a lot of games through Steam to pass the time these days. Call of Duty: World at War was better than I gave it credit for. But mostly for the zombie mode. And it is still nothing compared to Modern Warfare. I'm searching for some games to waste enormous amounts of time on(without becoming addicted to WoW, NEVER) like a good MMORPG or an entertaining RTS. Keeping away from Maplestory, as my only playing buddy is too busy having a social life. Dived back into Supreme Commander for a while, back into its awesome level of scale and detailed plans of attack. Truly a game years ahead of its time. The only problem is that because its years ahead of its time, my computer can't run it on its highest settings. How the heck did they know what the highest settings looked like before release? Someone out there must have a computer brought from the future through Stargate of something.
Speaking of Stargate, in my effort of finding ways to way time, I've actually been watching a lot of television shows(on my computer of course!). Shows like Lost, Scrubs, Stargate: Atlantis, SG-1, CNN, and the Weather Channel.
In terms of anime, the season is still chugging along slowly. Haruhi is slowly, but not adequately, redeeming itself. Tokyo Magnitude 8 is rather too laidback to be called a disaster. Detective Conan releases are few and far between. The seventh Kara no Kyoukai movie was nice, I enjoyed it. FMA: Brotherhood is finally getting interesting as its beginning to branch off from the first one. Hayate the Combat Butler is entertaining as always. Tears to Tiara is continuing to be awesome, regardless of how many times I question the name. and Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, which I shall just reduce to Umineko from now on, its bloody hilarious, bloody hilarious. And I discovered that Valkyria Chronicles is actually more entertaining if you: (a)played the game, (b)watch it out of order and have idea what the heck is going on, or (c)watch it backwards, as the story seems somehow more effective or something. And needless to say, Bakemonogatari is still number one with its wicked sick jabs and cutthroat jokes.
Aside from all the time spent in front of my computer, I've been at work. It feels like I'm at work from dawn to dusk some days. But in return, I feel like I get entire days of nothing to do. So I think it levels out in the end.
Classes start again soon. I'm not looking forward to it, but its only a little longer before graduation so I'll do my best to hang in there.
I've also been randomly hearing the radio every now and then. Horrible. Songs get stuck in my head too easy. Is that just me? Too easy? I guess so, I'm easy like that. But honestly, getting song like that stuck in your head all day? Not fun.
Lastly, I am spending at least an hour a day trying to improve my literary skills by writing a chapter or freewriting, maybe people will get to read it someday. Who knows?
Had Starbucks Coffee for the first time in forever, felt so good. I knew there was a reason I was a Starbucks Loyalist. How do you wake up in the morning?

Nothing to report...
Work, work, work, and guess what? Work! Oh, I almost forget, there was also work. And after that, a little more work. With some work on the side. And to top it all off, a heaping giant pile of, you guess it, work.
In other news, the new anime season is kicking into gear. Spent any time I was able to not work watching Bakemonogatari and the other not-as-memorable shows. I remember saying Eden of the East was last season's best show, Bakemonogatari(or Ghost Story) is this season's. Go ahead, look for yourself. And also, beware of staplers, its a sign. (Side note: getting stapled in the hand kind of hurts, just an FYI. Don't try it at home kids.)
Second Opening
Oh right, the first opening, with no staplers in sight.
Anyone else notice this stapler fad lately?
But still my favorite song from K-On! is...
And I just wasted all my material for the XanaNet's next post, sigh. lol

Random Update
Because it had to be done.
I really haven't posted anything in so long, and there's so many things I want to talk about to! Too bad I've been too busy working. Playing a lot of games: Left 4 Dead, Team Fortess 2, Star Wars Republic Commando, and Star Wars Battlefront 2, among others. Watched some movies but Transformers 2 was the only one I still remember. Watching anime: Haruhi 2, Canaan, Detective Conan, Hayate 2. Don't even need to tell you how awesome the ending of Eden of the East was, but I will(someday). Also, Clannad...I'll miss that show. I've also worked on my literature a ton, you know where to go to check that out. I vaguely remember saying I was going to post my year-end project, that idea was fail. I need to cut out pieces when I post things here, but when I cut out some pieces from that... it just doesn't work. Sigh. Oh well. And upgrading my computer soon, and getting a camera soon, and getting a life soon. Okay, maybe not the last one...
Well, time for me to go! Zombies are hot on my heels and I need to git to da choppa!
(and because I always do vids...)
