[Videogames] Guild Wars Wintersday 2009 Hats

GuildWiki.de has leaked the 2009 Wintersday hat design inventory icons. I couldn't find them in the .DAT, but I think I found their skins.

[Science] Super-Earth Found (12/16/09)

I was sent this link two weeks ago, but I forgot about it until now. Apparently, scientists have found an earth-like planet, named GJ 1214b, about forty light-years away. Oddly enough, it was found with a normal sixteen inch telescope instead of a more powerful one.

[Videogames] Guild Wars Santa

"I want a miniature polar bear!"

Ever wonder what build Santa Claus would use when playing Guild Wars? This is my interpretation.

[Manga] Pani Poni by Hikawa Hekiru

Pani Poni is the story of an egotistical eleven year old girl named Rebecca Miyamoto who graduated from Columbia University at the age of ten. She becomes the homeroom teacher of class 1-C of Momotsuki Academy. The manga's story is very similar to Azumanga Daiou as it centers on an immature teacher and her wacky class, as well as having two other teachers and their classes as supporting characters.

(Pani Poni is a joint scanslation project by The Wafflehouse and Eternal Bunny Love.)

[Videogames] Guild Wars 2 - "Giving Tyria a Voice"

Guild Wars has a history of getting some great voice actors for their characters (Steve Blum, Kari Wahlgren, Maurice LaMarche), but the addition of Felicia Day as Zojja just secured a lot of sales to fanboys.

[Anime] Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is being made into a movie.

[Comic] It's sad because it's true.

It started back in Christmas of 2000 when I was stocking for Dollar Tree and it's been the same every year. I'll hear it on the radio and it'll be stuck in my head until mid-January.

[Software] I just installed bittorrent. Now I can download pr0n anime.

I haven't used BitTorrent since well before I bought this computer a little less than a year ago, so I decided to install it. I have to admit that I am impressed with the enhancements to the user interface. There doesn't seem to be anything new since the last time I used it, though. Now maybe I can catch up on the newer animes that don't involve shinigami or fox-ninjas.

[Manga] [NSFW] Boin Tantei vs. Kaitou Sanmensou by Doi Sakazaki

Boin Tantei vs. Kaitou Sanmensou (Detective Jiggles vs. The Three-faced Thief) is a oneshot story about a new employee at a detective agency. Her lesbian boss dresses her up as a maid, giving her the nickname 'Detective Jiggles.' They set off to defuse a bomb set by the Three-faced Thief to blow up a famous diamond. To get to the bomb, 'Jiggles' has to get past several traps that appear to be designed by a pervert.

Spoiler: The bomb ends up going off and killing them all in the end.

[Manga] Akagami no Shirayukihime by Akizuki Sorata

Akagami no Shirayukihime (The Red-haired Snow White Princess) is the story of a red-haired girl named Shirayuki who is selected by Prince Raji to be his new concubine. Having no say in the matter, Shirayuki cuts her hair and runs away. Later, at an abandoned house, she meets Mitsuhide, Kiki, and the sword-wielding Zen. When Zen eats a poisoned apple sent from Prince Raji intended for Shirayuki, it seems that the only way to save Zen is for Shirayuki to consent to be Prince Raji's concubine. But there is more to Zen than it appears.

Spoiler: Zen is actually a prince from a neighboring kingdom. He ends up saving Shirayuki from Raji.
