First Otaku Battalion

Yeah, this has been out for a few weeks now, but I kept forgetting to upload here.

Hi guys, I just bought us a L4D dedicated server(@ SG Wargames) for 3 months. You may connect to it at 203.116.41.180:27027.

Once you have connected, go to console and type status. Copy the entire output line and msn it to me. I’ll give you admin status so you can start spawning tanks and dropping buddhas.

As for why I linked the server to A4D’s Steam Group instead of 1OBn’s, it’s because I thought it’d be better for more people to be able to access easily. After all, almost no one on 1OBn steam group plays that much nowadays.

So some of you might have already heard of Plants Vs Zombies, and some of you might even have already finished the game and watched the (incredibly cute & catchy) credits song. But how many of you have seen the Japanese dub of the credits?

No, those aren’t subs; they’re the lyrics to the original English version (which I personally prefer, but whatever), and you can see it here:

Apparently composed and sung by the same person who did all the (equally cute and catchy) music for the game, one Ms Laura Shigihara. Anyone got sauce for the OST? XD

EDIT: Seems like Ms Shigihara put up MP3s of both versions of the song on her blog ( http://shigi.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/sunflower/ ), the better to infect all your friends with. Too bad she didn’t upload the rest of the OST, but meh. Love the story about the butter sound effect recording tho XD

So this might be old news if you visit Sankaku, but it seems Bandai is building a full scale Gundam (RX-78) statue to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the titular mechs:

And construction is underway:

Now all we need is for them to hurry up and build a Mazinger so we can have a live-action Super Robot Wars XD
