I decided to post this here since this blog is already dead and I didn't feel it was necessary to fill a single Facebook page with a long tirade. I don't use FB much so the reason my self-description was so scamp was because I don't want to be on. But I don't want to be chided for not doing what I'm supposed to do so:I'm moderately skilled in video editing for the past 4 years and I only

2010-02-02T21:56:00.005-05:00

It was a sad day when I learned that this blog would be going down foreve- Yeah, fuck it. I'm not gonna be all sentimental since I heard from the Midnighter like a week ago about the change. Hope the new site's up soonish and hope you enjoy it. Akira out.

Final Fantasy VII: On a Way To a Smile Denzel [Review?]

2010-01-31T20:00:00.010-05:00

So, as I was randomly going through my list of anime to watch, I noticed that I had accidentally downloaded a Blu-ray special that apparently came out on the FF7 Advent Children Blu-ray disc. Let me just start off by saying that this special, or OVA or whatever you want to call it, can go suck a sperm flavored popsicle because it is bad. Very bad to be frank. Why you might ask? Let me say it in

Public Enemies [2009] Review

2010-01-30T05:46:00.004-05:00

I've journeyed across the country from one end to the other on one of the most uneventful six hour rides ever experienced in my life. Perhaps it was the painstaking task of reading an assigned text whose context is so fallible that you're wondering whether you're either too stupid to understand the words or too logical to actually suspend your reasoning skills to side with the writer for all the

Winter 2009/2010 Impressions Part 2

2010-01-26T14:34:00.021-05:00

I'm back after watching some new shows and boy some are hit and miss. Here's the scoop.Cobra the Animation Goddamnit, I got about 2 minutes into this when I realized what I was watching. 007 James Bond the anime. Sure, the main character's name isn't James Bond, but dear Christ, the Opening song to this anime is so Bond-esque it's not even funny. It's pathetic. And to top it all off the main

Back to the Future [Games]

2010-01-25T03:10:00.004-05:00

Oh boy. Wait till you guys hear the commentary on this. It's a doozy. The rendering time for this video was ludicrous. And for some bizarre reason--though not completely irrational--the video is 105% its original speed. That tiny speed increase made everything seem a lot more clunky and poorly paced. Then again, I'm making excuses for myself but after ten days of work on this, there's nothing

Winter 2009/2010 Impressions

2010-01-13T14:44:00.031-05:00

First impressions of the Winter 2009/2010 season were not good. I saw the lineup and thought to myself, oh fuck this season is gonna suck so badly. Except for a few shows I was looking forward to, I believe this season will suck pretty bad. Although I'm not one to be prejudiced before I actually see the show. Even if the shows do suck, it'll give me material to rant about. I'm all for being

Avatar [Short] Review

2010-01-12T05:42:00.010-05:00

This is long overdue and it would be more than just frivolous to give a review of a movie that practically everyone has already seen. I held back on this for the longest time so I could have gotten the IMAX 3D experience and once you watch this, you'll know how I truly feel about the nonstop eyeball-gouging that took place in that theater.For the rest of you willing to devote a second of their

2010-01-10T21:37:00.005-05:00

Hmmmm....Yeah, I promised a review and to be honest I don't know which I would personally want to write first. I was planning on doing my first impressions of the Winter 2009/2010 season, and I will in due time, but I also wanted to finish my current show, Kanokon. I also watched Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou recently and I wanted to share my thoughts on that one as well, but there're things that are

Kingdom Hearts Series Impression

2010-01-08T22:28:00.004-05:00

Ever wondered what it'd be like to have Jack Sparrow and Goofy in the same room? Ever wanted a video game where they fucked up everything that was memorable about Tron by not having anything to do with the source material? Ever thought of seeing Cloud Strife tearing up a storm with a sword that is wrapped in a cloth for some unknown reason [I guess it makes it...hurt more?] while Mickey Mouse is

Hey everyone. I'm just doing this post because I'm in a massive rut right now and I was going to do a few updates and things for fun until I came across a bit of information which completely decimated my mood. I've never come this close to a break down before and it's something that I feel it should be best kept to myself. It's a disappointing bit of information which could ruin me.So I'm going

Omegle

2010-01-06T13:19:00.003-05:00

I recently chanced upon a new thing that I found on the internetz. Omegle. Yes, it's a very strange name for a site that lets you talk to random people also known as strangers. Yeah it's one of those sites that connects you with another person from across the world randomly. However you never know what you're going to get. 90% of the time when I connected to someone the other person either A)

I don't know what is more dumbfounding: why these malicious malware and spywares terrorize me so or why they do such a poor job at doing so. It's almost insulting how they think I'm an idiot and can't spot the multitude of spelling errors and incompetent illegitimacy of these spyware programs. I can say that disabling Task Manager was the biggest hurdle for me to overcome but nonetheless, it's

2010-01-05T07:30:00.003-05:00

Just a little notice to everyone. I'm working on a little project pertaining to something nostalgic for you guys. But I'm also relishing the joys of the new year without the incessant stress from my studies. So on my excursive trips around the city, I came across a beverage container at a nearby 7 Eleven that I feel cannot go without mention.Yes, this is real. And no, it's not just "shaped" like

そらのおとしもの [Review]

2009-12-31T17:12:00.022-05:00

There are very few times I watch an anime while it's airing. One when it's highly recommended by people I actually know and like or two when the premise seems interesting enough to wait week to week for the next episode. Sora no Otoshimono was one of the shows in the prior category. When I was told there'd be flying panties, I couldn't help but be shocked in awe at the randomness of the statement

Happy New Year's

2009-12-31T04:22:00.006-05:00

It seems like every now and then, I suddenly remember exactly why I called this blog "InsomniApnea" and currently my inordinate sleep patterns are taking a toll on me. I thought an all-nighter would've brought me back onto my sleeping regiment but I guess what I underestimated was that my body was incapable of taking that kind of punishment. I don't mean to kick a dead horse but I bet playing

Youtube, you're officially on my black list.Well it's not all about the negatives. When I said progress was a-comin', I wasn't lying. My equipment has been restocked and tested. Everything seems like it should be smooth sailing from here on out.

General Annoyances

2009-12-27T16:11:00.007-05:00

Anyone who's lived with their parents knows that they're extremely annoying. Especially during the holidays. I'm just using today to vent since I have this medium to complain about called a blog. Sorry Midnighter if you don't like it. I'm still posting it. As everyone knows parents are the ones who bring you into this world to torture. Why you might ask? Simple. They have nothing better to do

Final Fantasy XII Review [Part 2]

2009-12-27T06:36:00.000-05:00

The wait is over. Here it is, children.I apologize for the abundance of fade transitions but without them, the entire review would've been upwards of twenty minutes long and I wanted to keep this as brief as possible.It's official. I will have a part 3. While this sums up how I feel about the game, we need to dissect this flaming turd further.

Sherlock Holmes Review

2009-12-27T05:38:00.003-05:00

My wondrous introduction to the world on video wasn't as graceful as I planned to be. You can tell I wanted to maintain my yuletide cheer but the least I say about the bottled angst in me at the time, the better. All I can say is that a very inconsiderate family member was unintentionally wreaking havoc upon my jolly goodness and was a crippling distraction.EDIT: This is only a minor observation

いつだって My Santa [Review]

2009-12-24T13:17:00.002-05:00

Since it's Christmas time at the Akira household, it usually means a lot of stuff going on. Namely cooking and cleaning. So while all of the festivities were going on I thought to myself it be a good oppurtunity to review a Christmas anime. "Itsudatte My Santa" or as the Americans know it, "Always My Santa." Lemme say a few things before I start the review. Holy shit, I've never seen the word

The Ivalice Alliance Impression

2009-12-24T03:29:00.000-05:00

I decided to make things a tad more festive for this because I will most likely be placing the blog on hiatus until the equipment is up and ready. But until then, enjoy.I'm going to give my two cents about the Ivalice Alliance as the least I can do. While I do intend to get the second part of the review of XII out "showcasing" the gameplay, I prefer to actually have the video footage. Me being

2009-12-22T12:01:00.001-05:00

The following post by Akira has been indiscreetly tampered by The Midnighter to maintain a level of political correctness in the blog. We hope you enjoy:Why hello there world. I didn't see you there and not tl;dr'ing. For the lamers and the underknowledged (yes, add this word to your vernacular), sorta kinda like me because even I didn't know this, tl;dr = "too lazy;didn't read". I will be

I apologize for the lack of posts lately; I've been preoccupied with teh lerningz and couldn't get around to doing anything. But progress is assuredly coming and the rest of the Final Fantasy XII review will be posted soon enough. As for the PS3 issue, I haven't made much progress on it yet although the likely route I will go is to order a power supply and dismantle that sonuvabitch myself. I
