Well, you guys, I have finally done it. I succumbed to the power of crunchyroll.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/
In five seconds I can browse through pretty much any anime in existence. I rediscovered Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which kicks major ass and would have taken me like a year to torrent. It's in low resolution, but it looks fine in a small window, so I don't care much. Besides, the juicy stuff like Karas and Haruhi I have on DVD.
So, the website is well-designed, and the banners can easily be taken care of with Adblock.
Well, there you have it. Have fun watching gobs of anime.
This is Fubar, signing off.

It's true.Dual-core is as good as they say it is. I was a skeptic, but I have been convinced.
My computer is running at 34C, yet somehow it is five times faster than my old processor. It's kind of ridiculous.
If I told you how fast my computer is, you might choke a little.

Due to the fact that the Wii will be in high demand, I plan on lining up early outside of Best Buy or Target or some such place. You know why?Twilight Princess.
Come on, this one's a no-brainer. If Shigeru Miyamoto himself says this is the best Zelda ever made, that makes the game beyond awesome. Zelda games have always been in a class of their own in terms of quality, and I just know this one's gonna rock the house. I'm still a little iffy about the control scheme, but I'm willing to take the chance, seeing as Nintendo probably wouldn't deliberately screw their system-seller over with crappy controls. I think they may be on to something.
Besides, I'd get mad bragging rights for getting one at launch.
But, from what I've heard, getting one will be somewhat difficult. So, we'll see. I plan on getting one at the very least before Christmas so I can play the crap out of it during winter break. And knowing my luck, I'll probably wait in line for half a day only to find that the Wii is sold out. Or, I might get a Wii, but find that Twilight Princess is sold out. Oh, that would be rich.
In other news, my Intel Core 2 Duo processor with my 965 Chipset motherboard and DDR2 RAM are now on their way. Sh1v3r in ph34r of my 1337 c0mputz0r.
Good night. I'm Fubar, and you're not.

So, I'm having a great time up here in Tahoe. It snowed like mad last night while I was sitting in a jacuzzi...good times, good times. Anyway, on to what you're really reading this for: WOTW #6.
neskvartetten.tk
I picked this week's site for two reasons.
1. Music
2. Design
Neskvartetten's website not only has awesome music
(they're a tiny, unknown jazz/blues band), it has a pretty sweet Flash site design. Too bad there's a banner at the top, but Adblock will take care of that in a flash.
In other news, Twilight Princess comes out in six days. Go check out IGN's new movies, it'll whet your appetite for the game even more.
Alright, I'm done.

Website of the Week returns once again to bring you awesomeness from the realms of the Intarweb.http://oc.ormgas.com
Yes, that is spelled correctly. Get your mind out of the gutter.
Actually, ormgas means "snake gas" in Dutch or something. Look on the site FAQ.
Anyway, remember OverClocked Remix, the previous Website of the Week? Well, this website lets you stream OCRemixes straight off the site, so you don't have to download 1500 songs or find each remix.
What's even better is that the design of this site is amazing. If you register, you can vote on songs. The more songs you vote on, the more site features you unlock. It tracks your votes on each song. It also keeps a running tally of the highest voters, and the highest rated songs, a feature that OCR does not have.
If you like a song that's playing on the stream, just hop on over to the home page of Ormgas and click the little download button next to it (if you're logged in). Bingo, you download the song without having to traverse OCR to find it.
There's even an IRC channel with a Perl-programmed chat bot that gives hilarious responses.
So, what do you have to lose? Check out oc.ormgas.com NOW.
Also, Twilight Princess.
Back Next
