Hey guys, two Help-Japan links:

I'm riding on Sei's coattails and joining the Help-Japan fandom donation drive over at LJ. So I'll also be drawing a sketch of whatever fanfic the talented Sei ends up writing, based on the winning bid. The talented [info]morphaileffect also has a versatile offer up that's pretty tempting, since she's a freaking great writer and also didn't specify a word limit ( :D~ ). Please have a look at the offers, and bid if you wish:

Sei's Offer | Morphaileffect's Offer

Or just have a browse at what's available at [info]help_japan and bid on what you like.


A few links:

No Sellout - The Secret Malcolm X Tape w/ The FBI
~ A secretly-recorded conversation between two FBI agents and Malcolm X. The agents wanted Malcolm X to agree to give out the contact details of the people who attended his parish. It's awesome listening to them get scorned.

Racists Totally Freak Out Over Muslim 'Batman of Paris'
~ A good rundown + commentary on the recent controversy regarding Nightrunner.

The Daily Show - Batman's Muslim Sidekick
~ The Daily Show looking into the previous issue. XD

Sorry for the lack of posts/replies recently, haven't been on community sites much. Heard from [info]summerbreeze21 a few hours earlier through a static-y phone call to Cairo, and she and her family are thankfully fine and have provisions. Media coverage of the revolution in Egypt has been disappointing in CNN and BBC -- turned to Twitter (!) and English Al Jazeera for more reliable updates.

My heart and thoughts go to the people of Egypt and your own ongoing (and uber epic) People Power Revolution.

I'm going on a self-imposed hiatus from the Assassin's Creed fandom until the PC release next year. Which means no AC LJ communities, no DA groups, no fics, and no kink meme. (sobs)

This is just depressing in ways I didn't predict. See you guys again in around 5 months or so. =_= Sigh.

My initial intention was to paint him straight up, ie just a portrait shot with the normal red hat, red cape (yeah capes!), and that rainbowfairydoublethosiery thing going on there. So I finished the base face, took a break, browsed around, and saw this from someone in the AC 4chan thread:

"10 bucks they have him in some sort of Templar attire when he's with Cesare. (Why did Leonardo in that whole Templar-type outfit that Lady Gaga wears in Alejandro suddenly come to mind? Seriously.)"

Cannot unsee anymore. Now, I have this:

still a lot of mistakes that need fixing, sorry )

...instead of his red hat.

and now I want to put Cesare somewhere in there and stuff )

+1000 amusement points for the sibling entity calling him "Moenardo" these days, though. XD

I hope I don't lose interest in this fanart before it can be finished. :/ Need to check/answer e-mails soon too, will get around to that.

LJ gives users the option to cross-post any LJ post/comment they make to Facebook and Twitter...even comments they make on other people's journals and protected entries, with a link back to the original post
~ via [dreamwidth.org profile] chaosraven. Just...ugh. This is why DW is awesome. I use FB to game sometimes, but that's it. Even that already compromises my personal information. Here are a few reasons to abhor Facebook:

Facebook disregards privacy, and says that the modern default is now "social"
~ Facebook makes changes in its code and privacy settings so freaking often, it's hard to keep track. Unfortunately, these changes rarely benefit users, and often default to sharing personal information until the affected users actually take the trouble to fiddle with their confusing Account Settings and choose to opt out. By then, the information had already been shared, mostly to advertisers and application developers.

A software developer showed how much information FB shares
~ and then Facebook sued him.

Trusting FB with your data means also trusting every individual developer whose FB application you've installed
~ FB shares user information with all the apps users have let crawl all over their profiles, and these apps are allowed to keep this information even after the user deletes the application.

FB intentionally makes it difficult to truly delete a user account
~ FB easily lets you deactivate your account, which isn't the same as deleting. It makes it look like deletion, though. And once you've figured out how to actually delete your account, they won't really delete it until after 14 days. If you access your FB account in any way during those 14 days, it gets reactivated and the deletion is canceled. FB also further claims that any IP content that you shared on FB becomes their property as long as it is still being shared by someone else who hasn't deleted their account.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of FB, is a hacking jerk
~ From the early days of FB: "Mark used his site, TheFacebook.com, to look up members of the site who identified themselves as members of the Crimson. Then he examined a log of failed logins to see if any of the Crimson members had ever entered an incorrect password into TheFacebook.com. If the cases in which they had entered failed logins, Mark tried to use them to access the Crimson members' Harvard email accounts. He successfully accessed two of them. In other words, Mark appears to have used private login data from TheFacebook to hack into the separate email accounts of some TheFacebook users." This [isn't an] [isolated incident], either.

How Dreamwidth's reading page finally convinced me to quit Facebook by [dreamwidth.org profile] dee
~ A user's account of how just about anyone can access highly personal information through FB.

Also, if anyone wants a Dreamwidth invite code, I have a bunch to spare. Just throw me a note/comment/whathaveyou ♥.

Just your garden-variety fanart recs post. I think I was doomed as soon as I stumbled across luulala's gallery. And Gobeur's. Title + art excerpt + notes follow.

Malik, Altair by luulala

~ I rarely have one favorite fanart in an entire fandom, but this one would be it for AC.

Ezio and Altair by luulala

~ more from the same artist, cross-generation slash ftw~

Look Ezio, isn't it amazing? by Gobeur

~ I had no idea that the "Leo" in this fanart was Leonardo da Vinci. Or that I'd fall so hard for the char when I played AC2. :( sorry, dude.

cutting the rest to spare your reading page... )

I wanted to include fanart involving Altair's water solubility (because one doesn't really get into this fandom without making fun of the master assassin's inability to swim), but I can't find one that I adore enough. :( Oh, well.

Also, I just figured out why Altair strikes me as funny most of the time. That damned cowl. The way it hides his eyes isn't the same as when it hides Ezio's...it's not menacing or anything. Kind of reminds me of this guy:



And it definitely doesn't help that he seems to have a perpetual question mark over his head throughout AC1. Or does stupid shit that has Malik wanting to tear out his other arm and beat him senseless with it.

There's also something to be said about projecting a player's thoughts into the char. XD

I have very mixed feelings about people using a culture foreign to their own if it's merely for the sake of having something "ethnic" or "exotic" in a story. On one hand, it's extremely flattering that others are taking an interest -- and if the story is engaging enough, it might even get more people to do the same. On the other, it has so much potential for encouraging stereotypes and spreading wrong information.

I just have a lot of feelingz )

This poster is also awesome. Nabbed from [info]nothingtrue:



And Altair apparently doesn't really mean eagle, but I'mma stop nitpicking now.

Most of the things I didn't like or was dissatisfied with in AC1 were pretty much fixed and then improved upon in AC2. Love, love, love the game, despite the simplistic story arc and the ninja ending.

The following review is a little spoilery, btw.


First, the bad...

better writers plz )


Then the good...

Leonardo da Vinci has never been cuter )


A few quotes I loved...

'I mean besides vaginas' )

Ugh, missed a few that I wanted to jot down, mostly from Caterina Sforza. Anyway...


A few in-game caps...











♥ Leap of Faith ♥


Also shameless use of these two promo images as my celphone's wallpaper and screensaver respectively:



My system couldn't run the game at full graphics all the time, especially with large crowds or in grassy areas. So no caps of action scenes or more interesting events :/ Lots of those around the Net already, anyway.

There's a prequel in the form of movie shorts that Ubisoft released recently called Assassin's Creed: Lineage, totaling 35 minutes. The story shows scenes of Ezio's father, Giovanni Auditore, and his life as an assassin. ♥

Ubisoft's developing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, a direct sequel to II with Ezio still the main protagonist (more Ezio! And Leonardo's still there ♥). They've announced that Assassin's Creed III will have a new protagonist though, so Ezio's story will end with Brotherhood.

ETA: fixed the broken image links, sorry about that

[Hands On Firefox 4 Beta]
~ Mozilla seems to have taken a few cues from Google Chrome, and improved upon them if the reviews hold true. A little wary of bugs at this point, but thinking about trying it out soon.

[Super Mario on Violin]
~ So awesome. It's not just a Super Mario music cover, the guy plays the whole playthrough music + sound effects with his violin. XD

[Dolls and Toys that Creep Us Out]
~ Doesn't really look all that scary when they're laid out like this on a bright screen, but I'm sure these things would scare the living crap out of me in a darkened room.

[Eight Fairy Tales and Their Not-So-Happy Endings]
~ I'm surprised this didn't include a mention in Cinderella where one of the stepsisters cut off the heel of her own foot so that it would fit into the shoe and fool the prince. Two bastard birds ratted her out while they were on horseback, and the prince saw that her shoe was filling up with blood. He just rode back home and returned her then demanded more of the stepmother's daughters ("SHOW ME MOAR DAUGHTERS, BITCH, THIS AIN'T THE RIGHT ONE"). :/ Not an ending I guess, but close enough.

[Some dude deep-fried his motherboard]
~ ... then played Quake 3 with it. And made fries during.

[Nailing jelly to a wall: is it possible?]
~ A bit old, but I love the amount of time and dedication spent on making this post.

[White Collar's Tim DeKay and Matt Bomer doing a dance game]
~ White Collar's boys continue to be adorable outside of their roles ♥

[(Bliss Scanlation) Revaival]
~ That's not a typo on my part, that really is the title. One of the most amazing Sengoku Basara doujinshi ever. Chapter 4 almost made me baw (then again, I baw easy). Kojuuro ♥. Chapter 5 still in the process of being scanlated, looks like.

[First Look at Moffat's Sherlock]
~ Upcoming BBC series on a modern-day revival of Sherlock Holmes, from Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.

["yeah that's not what I was looking for at all"]
~ Missing cat = not funny. I hope the lady found her kitty again. But couldn't resist David's sense of humor in this post. His entire site's worth a browse for some fun, everyday humor.

[Official Vampires Suck Trailer]
~ "From the guys who couldn't sit through another vampire movie" XD

And just 'cause it is awesome, Leyte Dance Theater's version of Singkil:


I think just about every elementary/high school student here in the Philippines has had a go at a version of Singkil (back in the day, anyway). If it wasn't Singkil, it was Tinikling or Pandango sa Ilaw. Or one of the harvest dances. Anyway. Good times.

Considering making a few pimp posts soon (Sengoku Basara and probably Yoroiden Samurai Troopers). ♥

The entire family was there, including her niece and sister who flew all the way from New Zealand, and although she had been awake when she started losing breath, the doctor assured us that she felt no pain because of the high morphine dose she was given.

She was a kind, talented, and caring woman — full of life and eager to live it, and so very loving. Please pray that her next great adventure will be filled with grander and more pleasant things, as it’s nothing less than she deserves. She’s touched and affected so many people’s lives, and asked for nothing but friendship in return.

I’ll be posting pictures of her soon.

"Repent, Harlequin!" said the Tick-Tock Man


I'm sure some of you remember this show XD I was at a very impressionable age when this was showing locally on RPN 9, I think it was. My father missed it so much, that he ordered the DVD from Amazon and ripped it into AVIs to share. The quality of the video from the actual DVD we received wasn't stellar to begin with (they seem to have been archived from uh...very analog sources. XD ), and that, of course, carried over to the rips. But it's as good as we could make it. Still very watchable, just don't expect HQ.

I was afraid Covington Cross would be one of those series that I remember very fondly, but regret ever watching after seeing it again. Fortunately, this wasn't the case. It's still as fun and clever as I remember it to be. It has perhaps two or three episodes that I don't really want to see again, but the rest are still pretty much up there, even by today's standards. The only real parts that make me itch to press the fast forward button are the dreadful fight scenes :X; But if you can stomach the fight scenes in today's [Robin Hood] and [Merlin], then it shouldn't be a problem!

a few more pictures to pimp/tickle your memory )

guess whoooo XD DCI Gene Hunt as a strapping young lad )

On to the specs:
~ XVID AVI
~ 352 x 240
~ around 350MB-ish per episode, total 4.61 GB
~ runtime 50 minutes per ep.
~ complete 13 episodes + 1 video press kit

Downloads:
~ Torrent (help me seed!)
~ direct HTTP downloads via the sibling entity
    ~~ rename the extension to .avi
    ~~ the direct links are temporary, they're going to be replaced with Megaupload links as soon as the sibling entity is finished uploading them there

The sibling entity has a lovely pimp post [here], and I can't agree more with what she said: "Covington Cross is actually a ficcable, fandom-able (do these words exist??) series, I think. There's excellent interaction between endearing characters, and massive room for speculation. It's too bad it came before the age of the Internet - otherwise it might have flourished as a series. Sadly, it was canceled with only 13 episodes to its credit."

Also, if you have a previous version of Painter that you can't run anymore because of the "not enough memory" or "out of tiles" error, there's a fix for that. Upgraded to 2GB RAM and couldn't run Painter 7 anymore, but thankfully this fixed it.

I enjoyed this film much more than I thought I would. XD Sarah Brightman as Blind Mag is pure love.

A few caps I took, beware of spoilers.


[purchase the DVD from Amazon]
[torrent link for the movie]


31 screencaps )

Couldn't help but extract my favorite part of the movie. Don't view if you care about spoilers!



Edit: replaced the Youtube link because Youtube is a sellout and some Repo! fans are goddamned rabid ignorant nuts.
