Not long ago, a genuinely likable boy who went by the handle Lukeywes1234 was just an ordinary young YouTube account holder. At least before the /b/tards over at 4chan decided that he was their new king, mass subscribing to his channel and posting tribute videos like the one above.

Yay more Haruhi! Wait, what do you mean 'More of the SAME Haruhi'? I thought they did that with Endless Eight already!

What the hell. Right after I rant about how profiteering suits suck any medium dry, Kadokawa decides that the best thing to do with their immensely-profitable Haruhi light novel series is to reissue the series… but with new, connected covers, and call it a “Rebirth”.

Longtime readers know how ticked off I was about Haruhi’s Endless Eight fiasco. Even though KyoAni never reused animation throughout the arc, I kept thinking they were being cheap, lazy bastards, except I thought they were keeping the money for themselves.

Electronic Frontiers Australia have posted their authoritative condemnation of the Australian government’s plan to impose mandatory, national filtering on the Australian Internet (like the filters used in Iran, Syria, China, and other repressive regimes).

Radio Free Morningstar on Nullspace Aetherband 32

Hi guys! I was playing with my graphics programs today and came up with this wallpaper for Radio Free Morningstar, from my webcomic The Vigilant! It depicts Jaden Stormchaser’s satellite pirate radio station, the Morningstar, hovering above Central City in geosynchronous Nullspace orbit, rendered in glorious ray-tracer-ific 3D! A translucent bubble of Free Nullspace, it gives Sentinel Jaden a 360 degree view, perfect for spotting incursions from the Far Reaches!

Ahoy! Today be the day of days, International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Aye, today be the day we raise our tankards of ale, rum, grog, or whatever have ye to our mistress the Sea, and the scurvy dogs what sail her vast bounty, to the buccaneers what answer to no law but their own!
