Thief II
Rather than look for a band, or practice songs, or study Japanese, or go out and do one of the million cool things there are to do in Japan, I spent the bulk of my free time playing Thief II: The Metal Age. I hate myself sometimes.

Seconds of My Life Slowly Taken Away

now playing: Megadeth's Hidden Treasures (1996)

I Kayo translated the little photocopied notice that came with the Dir en grey ~If Trans~ video I got last week. It says:

1) Do not watch the video while eating.
2) Turn off the light when you watch.
3) If you feel nauseous, stop watching
.
4) Avoiding showing it to your children.

The funny thing is, it doesn't look like something Dir en grey would've stuck in just to be cool; it's more like the record company insisted on inserting it! (Remember all those kids who were watching TV or playing video games and they died or had seizures or whatever? It's probably related to that mess somehow.)

I'm also gonna try and put up a few short 2mb clips from Dir en grey's Garden PV and Sex Machine Guns' Hanabi la Dai Kaiten ("Flower la Big Spin"). They're only 160x120 or so, but they look and sound okay, unlike those blasphemously poor Real videos that crush all the audio into a pulpy mess and squirt the video through a dog's rectum in order to reduce file size. But Angelfire (where I'll store anything over half a megabyte) has been unavailable for the last day or so, so no luck yet. Perhaps tomorrow...
