Okay, I want to see if anyone actually does this.

If you play FF:XI and are on Midgardsormr, search out a Taru by the name of "Bonsaihinoki"

Go up to him and "/em makes the secret bonsai sign" and send a tell with the secret phrase of the month "Finge Benefits", I'll take your character name down and send you something random from what I have.

First of all, a warm welcome to everyone who came here from Van Von Hunter! Along with that, a big thanks to the creators of Van Von Hunter! Getting a link from a comic that has actually been published (they won first prize in the first Tokyopop "Rising Stars of Manga" contest) rocks! So, for all of you who haven't heard of Van Von Hunter before, go check them out!

Secondly, out e-mail has been overflowing with spam and virus messages. It's gotten so bad that I think we've missed e-mails. So, if you sent us a mail in the past week and a half or so... we might not have gotten it. I want to point out that there is a forum that you can post to if you want to ask a question or make a comment.

Also, we have gotten some fan art (w00t!) but we haven't had time to properly process it for posting yet. So for people who sent in fan art, we really do appreciate it, and we haven't forgotten... Things have just been hectic... sorry.

Hello, I am back. Woo. Hopefully this page will be on time, but I'm writing this rant before I finished, so I don't know if it will be (ehhhh....).

So, after months of staring at it, I finally picked up this copy of Queen's Greatest Hits compilation at Circuit City. It was pretty cheap too. I think there may have been a pricing error but who am I to complain. I've been listening to it all week. I love Queen. I have to admit, I'm one of those people that became a Queen fan after Wayne's World's bizzare tribute to Bohemian Rhapsody. One song which I didn't really appreciate before but have come to particulary like since I started listening to it again is "Seven Seas of Rhye". It just sounds like it would be a good song to sing if you're drunk at bar with a bunch of friends. It has got me to wondering though...what exactly is rhye? I know what rye is, but I don't think it's the same thing. Maybe rhye is just the British version of rye? Is there ever such a thing? Maybe Freddy made it up. Maybe he's just taunting me from beyond the grave?

Also this week, I got my issue of Anime Insider. I read it regularly, since those guys amuse me. In this issue in the letters section, they had a image of the cover for Warriors of the Wind (ala Naussica edited very badly). Now, I had heard about this butchered version of the anime before but I'd never seen anything of it. Now that I've seen the cover, I can only say that it has to be seen to be believed. It's the one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen, and when the caption says that this cover contains 3000% more lies than any other, they aren't exaggerating. Ah, those were the days.
