Ashura’s Wrath

The average Hollywood movie lasts from 1 to 2 hours. Splice together all the cutscenes from Ashura’s Wrath and you get nearly 5 HOURS. And if you consider the work involved in voice acting and the number of decisions a player can make, I think, personally that in games such as AW which have extensive CG and cutscenes, the VA cast deserves a lot of respect.

Also, it’s interesting when you do a bit of research and find out what other character’s the VAs do. Ashura, for example, also voiced Sado from Bleach, Elfman from Fairy Tail and Guile from SFIV.

Yasha also voiced Grimmjow in Bleach, Freed in Fairy Tail, Vega (Balrog) in SFIV, Archer in Fate/Stay Night, Escher in Chaos Rings (which I played to death on my TF101), and surprisingly (and creepily), he also voiced Undertaker from Kuroshitsuji.

Notice something? The main two characters both voiced characters from Bleach, Fairy Tail and SFIV.

 

This run felt pretty good. I touched Yellow again, and pretty much stayed in Green the whole time I needed to be. My average speed went below 7 minutes for the first time in a while, but the blue zones at the start and end always skew the average pace.

Endomondo (which I use in conjunction with miCoach) told me my fastest KM was between approximately 1.25KM into the run and 2.25KM into the run, and that was in 5min 20secs/KM. Still a way to go to beat my Personal Best of 4min 44secs/KM.

I’m not sure how the hell my heart monitor registered I was running at 210BPM when I wasn’t even sprinting. For the first 8 or so minutes of this run I was fiddling with my monitor trying to seat it properly as a result of the OTT BPM.

Some of you may have seen this, or a variant of this this, but this video shows all earthquakes around Japan for 2011 by size, depth and location. Watch what happens around March…..

Debian

I’ve finished copying my files over onto my Debian installation and I just now need to reconfigure everything. My Fitbit is now syncing in Debian happily. BOINC is installed (but not configured) and I’ve installed LXDE so I can take off KDE.

And DRM finally works!
