Here are two videos from Cirno is a Genius (The second one is a parody, it’d probably help to see the original), with some super-awesome camera/lighting techniques and special effects! And create.swf! The videos look a lot better in HD. I mean a lot better. Anyway, yes. Nifty. It probably would’ve been better if I had posted the first one yesterday, seeing how it was Monday and everything…
Well in the end Reimu, Marisa, Aya, Remilia and Patchouli made it in with another 43 contestants to make 48 total.
Next will be 7 or 8 preliminary rounds which will whittle this number down to 27 characters who will join the 37 prequalified characters in the main league of 64.
In brief, these preliminary rounds will be held thus:
1. 48 characters divided into 4 groups of 12.
2. Each group will compete, the one with the most votes in each group will qualify for the main league.
3. Remaining characters are reshuffled into new groups and compete again until all 27 slots are filled.
(For more detailed information, please see the rules page)
The 1st preliminary round will be start on 0000 GMT, Monday, 19 January 2009.
P.S. In the main league of 64, each character will have a match with every other character, i.e. every character has 63 matches. This means that during each voting round, there will be 32 matches (32 characters vs 32 characters). The rules are such that during the main league voters must vote in a minimum of 8 matches.
And as you can probably guess, yes, homework took a lot longer than expected today too. Perhaps it’s because of my naps. I should stop taking naps after school… but I can’t.
Well, these are actually about a month old, but I didn’t see them until earlier this week, and they’re quite awesome. So I am posting them. It’s Night of Nights played with miscellaneous “instruments” that aren’t actually instruments! Like rulers and CDs and stuff. Judging from the clock in the second video, I’d say the video/audio is sped up about 2x. Either way, I’d like to be able to do that. It would be a nifty skill to have when bored.
It’s another smooooch thing with Chen, Yukari, and Ran! Ran’s eyes look sorta… weird. Probably just because they’re yellow. I also find it interesting how a lot of the time, characters’ eye colors are the same as their hair color or the color of their clothes (I can’t really think of any specific examples but I remember seeing this a lot). Does it work like that in real life? Of course, I mean the hair thing, not the clothing.
Homework took much longer than expected, even though I started doing it early today, and didn’t take a nap. Gosh darned revolving-enclosed-shapes-on-the-coordinate-plane-around-a-line-outside-of-the-shape-itself and kinetic-energy-and-its-relation-to-the-velocity-of-molecules-and-thermodynamics and writing-the-first-draft-of-an-essay-actually-that-wasn’t-so-bad-but-it-took-awhile! At least tomorrow’s Friday.
