Girl, You’re a Lady, Man! (Female Puberty Taught By David Bowie)
It’s David Bowie’s birthday, so here is a fake song and one of the first dumb videos I ever made. Happy Birthday, Bowie. You are the one true brand new baby girl of Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Well yes, basically that happened.
I’ve been hearing about Yo-Jin-Bo for a while now, but I’ve never thought to actually play it. This visual novel is actually pretty okay, if not for the over-the-top reference heavy Manzai-kind of humor. In this game, you take control of a school girl who picks up a mysterious necklace during a club archaeological dig (I don’t know either). Through the necklace, a princess asks for the girl’s help to make the choices that won’t make her dead and find her a husband who isn’t nine years-old (long story).
The choices in the game are timed, meaning you have about ten seconds before it defaults. You also have to take care in your choices: a wrong choice will have you and your party dead. My first playthrough ended with the gang getting sliced up even though I was sure I didn’t mess up anything.
The choices in this game is pretty standard, although if you find all of them unappealing, know that the default is a loveless marriage. Because I cannot give two shits about remembering their real names or Googling them, here’s the guys:
Yo: A.K.A. The supposed canon love interest with red hair and zero experience with the ladies. He is so out of his game that his friends leave him out of matchmaking dates. He acts like a man starved when faced with the opportunity to do something with ladies though, if that kind of enthusiasm is your thing.
Jin: He’s the shota character of the series. That being said, he makes the first reference to BL when commenting on his party mate’s concern with another of their number.
Bo: (Godjam their names) He’s the bro with the cape that looks like Kenshin Himura’s master’s, except instead of being white, it’s Fabulously Purple. It should be noted here that he canonically knows that he’s androgynous, and tries to use this to bathe with the MC.
Mon-Mon: I’d like to think he gave himself this nickname because it’s a pun on him being a monk, but it’s probably because the first syllable of his full name is Mon. He’s got incredibly nimble fingers (see image 1) and mad massage skills (which is everything you need to know about him, really).
Muneshige: He’s the princess(Hitsuhime)’s vassal/original bodyguard. Apart from trying to keep the lady safe, he also gives her piggyback rides and baths. He also fondly remembers a birthmark on her body that they used to call Mr. Elephant.
The-Guy-With-The-Bandages: He’s blond, wears glasses, and he’s a psychopath! Basically, Shuu-as-a-human, except he’s actually redeemable (I think. Still going through the Monzan path).

You know, if they swapped the main protagonist(Hitomi)’s name with this BFF’s name, you’d get a pretty accurate picture of me.
Despite how everyone describes it, Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo!! isn’t actually an otome game about losing weight to gain the love of boys. Getting a love interest is actually optional in this game (although you will be missing out on all of the CG’s and events/half of the game). I mean, it’s still an otome game, meaning there’s still boy canoodling involved, but the game provides three different endings for those who don’t want to end up with anyone.
While, yes, you still have to reach a certain weight to get with a guy, your character’s self-worth/personality/life goal isn’t tied to how much she weights. You get crazy amazing retaliations and heart-warming dialogue from her, and it’s only during certain parts of the game where she’s even concerned about how she looks. The main reason why your character started dieting in the first place is because of how five of the dateable guys, and the alpha bitch fem rival Yuriko/Yurika, treat her (I should say three, actually). There are actually two male and two female characters who give her unconditional support, and one who gives her (brutally frank) advice.
All the paths I’ve seen so far (the doctor’s, the childhood friend’s, and the pastry-lovin’ boy’s) actually didn’t really make the heroine’s weight the main issue of every conversation she and the guys had. The three guys also had a pretty damn good reasons why they like her, and Hitomi actually takes a while to figure out/accept that she likes the bro she’s going out with too. Hitomi’s not a trying-hard “snarker”, nor is she a hoop for idiot balls, or someone who needs things to be pointed out to her. She can function well with or without love interests, and with or without her fat. It’s true that she’s not entirely perfect (example: the onii-chan route, with her wondering if her brother’s acting weirdly [GURL HE’S A PERV RUN]), but she’s definitely better than most otome game protagonists (as I’ve found out the hard way).
So go on, have a good playthrough. If you don’t have the time to play it yourself, here’s Angie Gallant’s LP of it.

Because I am Forever Alone, I’ve started reading Let’s Plays of otome/Female MC dating games. Other than Angie Gallant(The progenitor of Cloaca Mahoney and other legendary LP’s)’s LP’s, several other members of Broken Forums made their own LP’s.
In this LP by x-girl, you can basically date a version of Martin Crieff, except he likes trains, not planes. If you have an iPhone, you can actually download this game or the Prince edition and play it for yourself.

Rick Perry’s Really Gay Creekside Christmas Party
YouTube took our Rick Perry video down again, so here it is in our own video player so you can watch it whenever and forever. We will not remove it. It only took YouTube an hour to remove it the second time. We are baffled by this for two reasons, one being that we know that thousands of people have already flagged the original video, yet it’s still hopping along, spreading its message of holiday togetherness. We’re also baffled because the video was flagged for “nudity or sexual content”, yet the clip we used was found on YouTube. Here. In fact, YouTube, you host hundreds of videos more inappropriate than the one we used.
So you’re honestly saying, YouTube, that enough people were offended by our silly video in one hour, but there still aren’t enough people offended by the original one that has been up for more than a day? Are you saying, YouTube, that Rick Perry being a bigot by a creek is less offensive than two dudes frenching near a creek? If you’re not saying that, then Rick Perry has clearly gotten to you and we’re sorry. We now address Rick Perry.
First of all, Rick Perry, what the fuck are you doing on Tumblr right now? Quit scrolling through reblogs of The Same Picture of Dave Coulier Every Day. You want to lead the country? Fat chance. We also notice that you’ve turned off comments to your video. Class A move there, Rick-who-also-wants-to-be-president. No need to listen to other people when you’re president, right, Rick? Sure, it’s YouTube, so everyone would mostly just call you a fag. But also? Rick? You’re acting pretty faggy right now. Preeeetty faggy.
So anyway jokes jokes jokes and stuff blah blah blah, we are very seriously disappointed in whoever decided to take the video down (twice), but we’re even more disappointed in whoever decided to keep the original video up.
Oh and, hey, Rick Perry and friends, go fuck yourself in whichever way pleases you the least, thanks.
We’re Cracked and we approve this message.
This got taken down yesterday, but now it’s back!

This is the Key & Peele sketch I was lucky enough to get to be in this past season! This was insanely fun to shoot and has lead me to decide that from now on, I will only wear ill-fitting tie dyed T-shirts.
Directed by Peter Atencio and written by Charlie Sanders, both fine gentlemen indeed.

I think I'm cute. I know I'm sexy. I got looks that- Oh, wait, that's Shawn Michaels' theme song, sorry. Welp. Writing, reading, and gaming are my forte; music and visual arts my distant dreams; parkour, the WWE, and anything physical a factor of "impossible, not improbable".
