About Me
Wondering hobo on a sabbatical trying to find his degree so he can travel to the land of sushi, kawaii girls, and Ken Kutaragi(you may have won the battle but who haven't won the war Ken ~shakes fist in air malevolently~).

When not writing for NGG, or EP, Giantsquid occasionally updates his blog Emergency Trap, watches cheesy scifi movies and shows, talks on the phone(longer than most of the female persuasion), and discusses issues of etymology and linguistics with himself.

He vows to one day get some sun on his ghost white, baby soft skin(but it probably won't happen as long as he has access to a controller and his laptop).

GiantSquid loves RPG's and currently is into old-school ones like NISA and Atlus localize to his lovely country of the U.S. from his future home of Japan. Win-win for him. ~Grin~

Send your unfailing love and adoration to him(he loves it and it makes him feel special), but please refrain from sending him used socks, dirty underwear, spoiled milk, or anything else smelly.

Guitar Hero + X-mas lights = "You Rock"
giantsquid | 12:35 AM on 12.26.2007 9 comments


Some creative developer at NI using NI DAQ synced a bunch of Christmas Lights to his Guitar Hero guitar.



It's a good quality video, and it was nice of them to explain it. Only time will tell if this spawns a wave of G-mas light displays, but chances are no since Christmas is all but over.

I did notice that while he sure was creative, his display seems a bit haphazard in places, and at times resembling tendrils from a cheesy horror movie or live action anime.

Viihold, the Vii Mark 2
giantsquid | 1:42 AM on 12.24.2007 12 comments


Yes, if Nintendo still plans on upping marketing in China, they better hurry. Now they have 2 Viis, Vii's, Viis', Viis's, -insert correct grammar here- to deal with.



The Good: More Expansion Ports, and a power button(yes this time you are a god and control whether the power is on or off)
The Bad: Plays same crappy games the first one plays
The Ugly: These things are selling enough to warrant a second one.

On a more serious note. Knockoffs are huge in a country that has current economic troubles. It would be interesting to get a hold of sales statistics for the Vii.

Sorry, I'm on a roll, browsing videos tonight. I don't own GH, so I don't know if this is really the hardest song or not. It's just mind bottling though.

Halo 3 Most Elaborate Suicide

Did I miss this one? or did everybody? I've seen the other "hot" Rude Goldberg and physics demonstration videos going around, but not this one. It's pretty impressive. The creator said it took him 4 days and 65 takes to finally nail it.
