Easter egg hunt contest prize

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Remember the Easter egg hunt contest SanrioTown ran? I was one of the winners from round 2, and my prize came today! It is a Hello Kitty 1gb USB memory stick. I actually won one of these last year, in a contest inside HKO, so now I have two of them!

Hmm, I should RAID them. Yea, I know, RAID with two drives isn’t fun (mirroring, or striping), you really need three or more for the real fun.

When I inserted it into my computer, there were two files on it! One is an HKO trailer, the other is a trailer for the animated series The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends.

It looks like the same person who packaged the first prize also packaged this one. The handwriting is the same. See, here is the “new” one:

And here is the “old” one:

Such neat handwriting. I’d like to meet the person who wrote this out. I have terrible handwriting, so I admire good handwriting. See, here is what my handwriting looks like. This is a sheet of scratch paper at work, so it’s “real”.

I’d like to blame technology. I mean, I don’t really need to write. Everything can be done electronically, yes? But that theory is easily shattered. Oh well.

Thanks again :)

Six degrees of GM Bacon

See what happens when you get bored? This is the first thing that comes up in google when you type GM bacon. Check out that abstract. How abstract is that?

Avatar improvements

When I look at this new post, the first thing I see is that huge top hat! It looks like the ones that the vendors wear. Oh yea, I have to get one of those fast. If anything, that hat alone is worth the wait.

I don’t wear hats IRL, so I dunno why I’m so keen on that particular hat.

Beyond the wall of silence

Bacon speaks.

Some good news. Sounds like a lot of work has been redone. They’ve not said anything one way or another, but I think at this point, I’m expecting that we’ll have to restart our characters. And if they’ve revamped the quest system, one can only hope that they decided to ditch the burry ball!

It sounds like they’re in deadline mode, and any news at this point is good news. With no disrespect to Bacon, but I do wish one particular GM would break her own silence, also.

And props to those who get the reference of my post title.

Thank you to the people at SanrioTown!

New Quest Types and Storyline

Yay, some more news for the starving masses!

I  think know someone who’ll scream when she hears the LTS are in the game (or at least, so it looks like)

Hello Kitty DVD

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

I dunno what’s wrong with me. I guess I’m just a sucker for stuff. They tease us with trailers of the “Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends”, but it doesn’t appear to be available in the US. Or if so, not on any of my channels. So I decided to purchase this:

But given the lack of availability in the US, I got it shipped from . . .

(check out the wonderful stamp)

I was cheezed off, cause the seller said it was “worldwide”, which, to me, means region-free (or region-0, or whatever you want to call it), but it’s really region-3. So I couldn’t play it on my home-theater. I probably could have set the region, but I didn’t want to mess with that. So I set the region on my PC, and played it from there.

I only watched the first episode, but it’s pretty nice. Obviously geared towards teaching lessons, but it they did a good job at writing it so almost any audience could enjoy it.

And more importantly, Kitty doesn’t have a mouth! I’ve watched some other (older? I dunno) HK animation, where they’ve animated a mouth, and it just doesn’t work. Yea, maybe it looks funny hearing a character speak with no visible mouth, but guess what? It’s a cartoon! They can do whatever they want!

Maybe someone will somehow stumble on my comments about non-US availability. But that’s probably just me reaching above my station in life.
