Apocalypse Hotel...

Image
I streamed Apocalypse Hotel ... Following the collapse of civilization, one storied hotel stands among the ruins of Tokyo's Ginza district. Overrun by nature, this lone hotel continues to defy humanity's collapse. Current guests: zero. Check-ins scheduled today: zero. Yesterday's website traffic: zero. Enter with caution in this story of survival and mystery in a world where the memory of humanity begins to fade. The apocalypse came and humanity left Earth behind. The only evidence of humanity's existence in the ruined waste, now being overcome by nature, is one hotel run by a staff of robots and managed by the dedicated robot concierge Yachiyo. One day, the hotel receives their first guest who just happens to be an alien. The hotel staff accommodates the alien to the best of their abilities and everyone is pleased. Sometime later, a family of aliens arrives and make themselves comfortable. The family and the hotel staff work together to make improvements and attrac...

Adventures In Old-School Gaming...

Image
I've been an old-school Dos gamer since I had a 286 PC running actual Dos. I even wrote my own Dos-based game launcher program (in the Pascal programming language) to make my life easier back in the day. Now, I'm running Windows, but, I still like to play the old DOS-based classics. So, first I needed to install DosBox . The basic version of DosBox is 0.74. Then, there are patches for DosBox that need to be applied, I just download whatever the latest version of the patch files exists on the DosBox development site, unpack and copy the files to the DosBox installation folder. This will solve some common issues with some Dos games misbehaving. With DosBox installed and patched, then I create a main folder for all of DOS games to live. Each game gets its own subfolder within the main folder -- I happened to use Dos as my main folder. Some games will require configuration or installation before their first use. I use DosBox to open a Dos window and manually configure or...

BeheNeko: The Elf-Girl's Cat Is Secretly An S-Ranked Monster...

Image
I watched BeheNeko: The Elf-Girl's Cat Is Secretly An S-Ranked Monster ... When Aria the elf finds an adorable little kitten, she quickly grows to love it a bit more than might be healthy for her. mainly it's because her sweet little pussy isn't really a cat at all! No, the cute and cuddly creature that Aria calls Tama is actually a former knight reborn as a Behemoth, a legendary S-class monster that merely happens resembles a loveable domestic feline! Fortunately, Tama loves Aria as well and is more than happy to use his powers to defend the odd elf girl from dangers, real or otherwise, in BeheNeko: The Elf-Girl's Cat is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster! Aria, the resident warrior elf, comes across a stray kitten who is, in fact, a reincarnated hero in the body of a baby Behemoth, an immensely powerful monster that happens to look like a cat. The kitten gets to ride around between Aria breasts and is the star of the show at bath time. The cat, for his part, wants to keep...

Bartender: Glass Of God...

Image
I had the opportunity to stream Bartender: Glass Of God ... At Eden Hall, each glass has a story. A quiet bar lies tucked away in the streets of Tokyo, and it seems only the most desperate souls burdened by their own troubles manage to find its doors. But after a glass of God poured by the brilliant bartender Ryu, they leave renewed. Ryu has a gift--he knows how to soothe the soul with the perfect drink. Who will he meet next? I'm not usually taken to watching food-centered anime, so, imagine my surprise when I found myself watching Bartender: Glass Of God . In this series we follow Miwa, an executive at a fancy hotel, as she tries to convince Ryo, the local bartending savant, to work for her organization. The series plays like a cocktail-of-the-week with an accompaniment of story-telling. Obviously, there's no red ink and no naughty bits. I'm not sure why I sat through the series. I knew what I was getting into and if you're into bartending, alcohol or food in anim...

Centered Headers In Contempo...

Image
Years ago, when I installed the Contempo template for the first time, I managed with some brute force tactics and a lot of duct tape, to get the header centered. At the time, It took quite a bit to make it happen and there was a lot of pain involved. The reason for all the pain is that Contempo has multiple headers and the template switches between them depending on if you're scrolling, or are on the main site, or on a post or on a static page. Years ago, I didn't really document what was involved, I just threw everything at it to see what would stick. Now, years later, I don't feel like messing with my old code. Recently, I decided to revisit this issue. After some trial and error on one of my non-anime related sites, I have some basic CSS that will work with out-of-the-box Contempo . If you've heavily customized your theme as I have, your mileage will vary. The coding actually wasn't as complicated this time around thanks to advances in CSS. The necessary code...

May I Ask For One Final Thing?...

Image
I took the time to stream May I Ask For One Final Thing? ... Scarlet has put up with her fiancé’s bullying long enough. Not only is Second Prince Kyle arrogant and crude, but he suddenly called off their engagement during a ball. And if things couldn’t get any worse, he then accuses her of a crime she never committed. Fueled by betrayal, Scarlet unleashes her rage, giving the prince and his nobles a beatdown they’ll never forget. I really like strong female leads and Scarlet, our resident brawler, is the star of the series. Join our intrepid heroine as she beats the snot out of anyone she feels is in need of a beating. The series starts with Scarlet having her engagement cancelled at a public event and her former fiancé is standing in the company of another woman -- a pink-haired floozy. Scarlet thrashes everyone at the event including the other woman, who gets the first punch, and saves the last punch for her former fiancé. During the initial beat down of the nobles, Sc...

Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power...

Recently, I had the chance to see the Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power ... Overshadowed by her saintly sister Flora, plain Carolina seizes a chance to be useful by agreeing to political marriage with a prince rumored to be cruel. But the prince is nothing as expected -- he’s a gentleman, and Carolina feels valued for once in her life. As Carolina blossoms, she discovers a sense of self-worth and a mysterious power, while Flora’s perfect life back home starts to crumble. To say that Carolina and her sister, Flora, don't get along would be understating things quite a bit. As her kingdom's saint and with Carolina not having any affinity for magic, Flora, her mercilessly put Carolina down as useless at every opportunity. When presented with an opportunity to be married off to another kingdom, Carolina jumps at the chance to be away from her sister. With all of the abuse Carolina has suffered, it's no wonder that her self esteem is almost nonexistent. After Carolina...
