I was a lazy blogger last Friday and didn’t post my regularly scheduled links. So that means you get a double helping today. Here’s everything I loved about the Internet these past two weeks.
1. The Chrono Trigger fan-made sequel has arrived. Will you play it?
2. I wrote about Katawa Shoujo again over at Japanator. It’d mean a lot to me if you took a look at it.
3. I wish I knew the top 55 geek movies to look forward to in 2011… oh wait. Here they are.
4. Meeting your favorite web-comic artist at a convention and not sure how to act? Zach Weiner is here to help. His list of “don’t”s are especially unfortunate!
5. All about eki-ben, the bento boxes available at Japanese train stations. I was researching this after seeing the delicious-looking train bentos in Summer Wars.
6. Startlingly beautiful post-apocalyptic dioramas. I especially like the one of the abandoned library.
7. A geek’s 1976 journal posted as a blog. Fantastic idea, and very brave for Steven to put himself out there like that!
Only watched the first few episodes, but I would wear this in a heartbeat.
8. The dumber something is, the funnier I find it. Lately I’ve really cracked up at Troll Foods and The Monkeys you Ordered.
9. Do gamers have the most vivid dreams? Signs point to yes.
10. Kotaku calls this video “The Secret Lives of Cosplayers,” but I would call it, “The Wacky Personalities of Cosplayers.” This guy must be a great interviewer!
11. How your website looks… under the influence. According to this, Otaku Journalist looks best when you are sufficiently drunk.
I know I’ve linked before, but this tumblr is so good!
12. I think I would have really enjoyed Boring Con 2010 in London. After all, one person’s boring is another person’s awesome.
13. I was very moved by this short story from The New Yorker called The Dungeon Master. I found it on The Essayist, which is a great Tumblr to go to for long reads.
14. Might I convert you to my new religion? I have joined the Gropagas and become a disciple of Lord Inglip. If you’ve ever believed that Captchas were sending you holy messages and/or have a good sense of humor, you may want to consider this way of life.
15. Are you guys on Anime Planet? I just joined and it is pretty neat. Check out my profile.
