Yeah, I haven't been uploading or even really working much on Christmas requests the past couple days. That's because has been here and... Well seeing as he's my boyfriend and it's been eight months since I'd last seen him, I'm maximizing my time with him as much as I can. Rest assured I WILL get the last few done eventually. But right now, it's about me and Will.

I was pretty excited to see a dub of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni at Best Buy yesterday(English title'When They Cry' ). Even more so when I saw Funimation was uploading a few episodes on Youtube as well. I had watched a fansub of Higurashi a while back and I had really enjoyed it. And here's the first episode of the official dub.

Take out the spaces

Really, Funimation? Maybe I'm being a little spoiled here, but I honestly expected better rom the people who dubbed shows like Fullmetal Alchemist. Even more where Geneon is concerned because of shows like Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent. In the time I've known about the anime, I've come across a lot of people who wanted to see it officially dubbed for the US one day. This finally happens and the voices are horrible. It's just kind of frustrating.

I still like Funimation and a good number of the dubs they have done over the years and I will continue to buy some of their dubs, but this will not be one of them.

And this one is for the girls.

Plain and simple, just list the top ten hottest guys in videogames in your opinion and give your reasons. Also, it would help if you provide a link to their picture. Whether it's official or fan art doesn't really matter. Just as long as you have a picture. Tag at least three people at the end too.

10. Evil(Custom Robo) - What can I say about Evil? He’s a complete jerk and he’s full of himself. But it’s these same personality flaws that somehow make him attractive. Particularly when he’s giving Harry a hard time. Because let’s face it, Harry sometimes deserves to be given a hard time. Evil is the leader of a group of bounty hunters called Dark Blue, and his skill as a Commander(one who can make Robos fight in the Holoseum) is matched only by his ego. His Robo even looks quite a bit like him and he eventually has a Holoseum made for himself in his image. I don’t know what it is about him, but that very ego is portrayed in such a way I can’t help but love him. Oh yeah… And that laugh. [link]

9. Linedwell Rainrix(Evil Zone) - Lie is one crazy SOB. One of several fighters entered in a tournament to determine who will face the evil being known as Ihadurca. Of course, Lie is pretty evil himself, possessed by the magic sword, Shahal. Lie is a psychopath who loves battle for the sake of bloodshed. The dying screams of his opponents is music to his ears. And speaking of music, he himself is a bit of a musician with a love of playing the guitar. His dream is to become a heavy metal star. He’s pretty badass, and based on the cut scenes before he fights Erel in both characters’ stories, he’s a pervert as well. Which I actually kind of like in a character depending on how perverted they are. [link]

8. Ghosh Rode(Azure Dreams) - Another full of himself a-hole. And a rich one to boot. He’s one of those pretty boys too which generally, I don’t care for, but in this case, I make an exception. While he treats the main character, Koh, like filth, I can’t help but like him. At first I couldn’t really figure out why, but I think it’s because ultimately, you can always get back at him, and the way he takes it tends to be pretty damn funny. He’s quite the swordsman too. And he loves to flirt with the young women of Monsbaiya, so there’s always someone to compete with when trying to get a girlfriend for Koh. I’m not entirely sure, since it’s a very long game and I haven’t finished, but from what I’ve heard, Ghosh eventually becomes less of a snob and more friendly towards Koh. But only time will tell. [link]

7. Moses Sandor(Tales of Legendia) - The bandit chief from Tales of Legendia. He kind of fills the role of the stereotypical bumpkin, even having the stereotypical Southern accent. He’s none too bright and tends to think with his spear(or in the case of women, he thinks with his… Well, I think you know where this is going), but when it comes down to it, he’s a man with a lot of passion who is willing to give anything, even his own life for the people he cares about. To him, friendship is a brotherhood. He is of the Beast Master tribe and is deeply connected with his galf, Giet. Even to the point they seem to understand each other. Despite his tough exterior and love of a good fight, he can also be moved to tears quite easily. [link]

6. Dhoulmagus(Dragon Quest VIII) - It seems ‘such a pity’ that I could only put him at number six, but it was hard enough just narrowing it down to ten characters as is. Dhoulmagus is a powerful sorcerer and kind of crazy, though if you ask me, not too much. He took up the Sceptre of Trodain in hopes of obtaining power to take revenge against those who made a fool of him, but ultimately became possessed by that power. Because of this, he ends up going off to kill certain people in order to increase the power of the Sceptre(and ultimately to awaken Rhapthorne. But that’s getting way ahead of things). Dhoulmagus seems to take a sadistic delight in these murders, however. And just by his personality it seems ironic that he would always use the phrase ‘such a pity,’ when he seems to have no pity for anything at all. Sarcasm? [link]

5. Bowser(Super Mario) - Yes, the freaking giant turtle/dragon from the Mario franchise. I just can’t help it. He’s actually quite a charming character. If you’ve played any of the games that actually display his personality, he’s got quite the ego and thinks purely with muscle. And he can be very childish in a lot of ways too. I think one of the things I like best about him is that while he is a villain through and through and generally only works with the good guys out of necessity, he does seem to have a softer side at times. Check out the ending of Bowser’s Inside Story if you don’t believe me on this one. Of course he’s afraid to show that side of himself, it would seem. [link]

4. Iggy(Super Mario) - Another turtle dragon. And he’s the son of number five! Does that make me a bad person? >_> Honestly, I’m not attracted to Iggy as he is in the games. Rather I’m not interested in him as a child. But I tend to think what he would be like as an adult and I can’t help but love him. He’s already known to be quite insane. And an inventor. You know what that makes him? A mad scientist. And when I think about what he would look like in his adulthood, I can honestly say a HOT mad scientist. And let’s face it, he’s got awesome eyes. I’d say more, but they never really go that in-depth with the Koopalings. [link]

3. Flay Gunnar(Mana Khemia) - Flay is just an all around amazing character with a very colorful personality. He can’t stand to be bored and so he finds a way to make every day an adventure, even if he has to arrange one. And he often drags the main character, Vayne into it, as well as others at times. He starts as a self-proclaimed hero. A defender of justice. But when he realizes that there are no villains to fight, he can’t sit still and forms an evil organization, leaving the heroics to Vayne. The whole reason? He’s bored. But when it comes right down to it, he’s got a good heart. Though he may act like he takes it all seriously, there are times that you just have to feel that it’s really all a game to him. [link] [link]

2. Fawful(Mario & Luigi) - He’s appeared in all three of the Mario & Luigi handheld RPGs thus far, and I’m glad that’s been the case. He’s just plainly a hilarious and awesome character. Starting as a lackey to Cackletta, and quite a loyal one at that, he ultimately becomes the major antagonist in Bowser’s Inside Story, along with the Dark Star. He’s obviously insane, and despite being the student of a witch, his talents seem to lean more towards technology. I love his laugh and I love his odd speech patterns. And let’s face it, he’s just plain CUTE! I even find myself feeling a bit sorry for him at the end of Bowser’s Inside Story. Oh, and apparently, he’s a good cook.[link]

1. Kefka Palazzo(Final Fantasy VI) - Honestly, this was the easiest one to pick. I knew right from the beginning I’d have him as number one. I mean I’ve idolized the man since I was eight or nine years old. Kefka is the very definition of what a villain should be. A complete psychopath, Kefka has committed many acts that could only be seen as atrocious. Many of which involve mass murder. And he takes an absolute sadistic joy in all of it. Kefka is willing to do anything to achieve his goals, no matter what he has to do or who he has to kill. And honestly, I find it’s a part of his charm. He’s also the first villain in the history of videogames to go from a mere human lackey for someone else, to achieving godhood and ruling the world within the course of a single game. And when he did rule the world, he did a lot of damage, turning everything to a ruined wasteland. Many people died and life was miserable for those who didn’t. He was truly evil. Something I love to see in a bad guy. And he didn’t make excuses. He didn’t have some traumatic past that made him evil. He was just purely insane. True it DID come from the effects of volunteering himself as a test subject for experiments to infuse magic into the human bloodstream(he was a quiet and reserved man before that), and he DID have some pretty bad things in his past, but the point is, he didn’t make that his reason. He didn’t have some sob story to tell so you would feel bad for him and understand why he was doing what he was doing. He was evil because he was insane and just plainly enjoyed it. Both his human jester appearance and his six-winged god form suited him very well, and I just love that laugh. [link] [link] [link]

If you guys want, anyway. Anyone else who wants to can do it too.
