Champloo, some more thoughts, then Tailrazor.

Well, having viewed exactly 2 episodes of Samurai Champloo so far, I can definately say it rocks. Alot. Whee. I'm interested to hear the dubbed voices, although I probably won't be able to when it premeres tonight, since I'm going to be at work. Work! Yay! I can't wait to start actually working hard at my college job, honestly! That is only mostly sarcastic. Having something to do honestly cuts down on boredom that I experience (because as much of a gamer as I am, sometimes I don't feel like playing games, and I don't often have a book or something with me, and then I'm screwed.), but I know I'm going to start being worn out pretty bad when I get home too. Also, I'm going to have to start brining myself lunches as well. Hmm. I suppose I should probably go buy a buncha nice sandwhich and snackish stuff tommorow... I don't like eating except in company in general (I avoid eating when I can... I figure this balances out the fact I don't get much exercise, although it's probably not a good idea), but if I don't eat anything for an entire day while doing 7.5 hours of constant physical work (not overwhelming or hard physical work, but constant, and I'm definately on my feet the whole time) I'm going to feel very sick. So yeah, it'd be a bad idea. Should get lunch stuff tommorow. Yeah.
Sometimes, I wonder if I'm a slut. Then I realize, if I am, I honestly don't care, plus I doubt they judge such things on internet relationships. (I don't know who "they" are. Also, I enjoy how, since I have put this thought in the middle of a longer-sized post, the majority of people viewing my blog will not read it. I actually tend to do this often, so if you want to know what I'm really thinking about alot of the time, you should read only the MIDDLE of my posts, and not the beginning and the end.)
The Saviors preview cards haven't filled me with too much estatic feeling. Dunno why. Promise of Bunrei was completely and utterly sweet... actually, in general, they've shown so many kickass White cards, I should be overflowing with joy. But eh, I dunno. Magic has continued to be a hobby I pursue, but I haven't been too focused on it recently. Just a couple of MTGO games here and there, when I get the urge and the WoW server is down for matenence.
Recently, I've been working on yet another world/plot/story. I suppose I'm more envisioning this as a full RPG (I often build an RPG-like repetoire of moves for all characters in all of my stories, even if the story is a very non-combat related story and really would never work as an RPG... hell, the characters in Darkness and Rainstorms have moves like that), since half of my thoughts when I make each character is "I want this character to look insanely distinct and different from generic RPG character design." I don't know how much I've succeeded, but I think if one would add in over-the-top animations for things, it would come off having it's own flavor very well. In any case, tentative title is "Tailrazor: The Ultimate Gamer" although I bet I'll change it. The main character is Rebecca "Tailrazor" ____, who is, I think a red panda, and a very flat-chested, non-emotive, very serious person who just happens to have won the National Gamer's Championship 6 years running. This is a huge event, actually manages to get nationally televised, and is sort of an Ironman competition, featuring all major muliplayer games in every genre and on every console. Using this fame and some of her parent's financial backing (They're rich, I haven't fleshed them or how they got rich out yet, though.), she was able to create a string of Arcades/Cafes that make sure she's pretty well funded. Part of the success of these locations is her push to keep the very very latest gaming technologies and games in the moment they're available, and the promise that she will personally take on anyone who has the top score in any of these locations if they challenge her. The advertising people behind these arcades have constructed a campaign that forces her to act like a very bubbly, happy girl, who Tailrazor has named "Euphoria." Helping Tailrazor run everything behind the scenes is Techgirl/Secretary Grace ____, who has a secret love of hacking and other such things and who Tail has taken a definate liking to, although she, like everything else, doesn't show it. I have two other characters created, and they both come out of some sort of Psychatric ward or hospital, and honestly, I haven't figured out a plot yet. Just a bunch of characters that I keep trying to mesh together in my head until I find a plot there. That's normally how it works, anyway. Heh. And then sometimes, in that meshing, I find other characters that must be there and they get created... anyway, I suppose that's a little tiny taste. The deeper part of the plot would probably revolve around Tail trying to deal with the fact that the public, and even others, seem to like her "Euphoria" persona better, with a minor romantic subplot and anything else that ends up happening. Like I sorta described earlier, I try to let my plots be as organic as possible. Anyway, I just described all that, and it's probably something else you might see if Poetfox.com ever got up and running, but we all know how doubtful that is without Droid's help. Heh.
Okay, I'm off to eat and watch Firefly now.
