Quarterly anime roundup March 2017 *Spoiler Free*

I'll write a post every 3 months which'll contain the thoughts I had right after watching an anime. As such it should be taken as mere thoughts that I had directly after watching it. It's NOT a review, more of a final impression if you will. Anyway It'll contain whatever I watched during those 3 months with little if any regard to release season or current trends. You can find my complete list of anime I've watched and their ratings on kitsu.io/users/APasz/library So without further ado. Japanese title「English title」*=unofficial. I really didn't watch all that much during the past 3 months, you can blame games for that. Titles I've completed during this period 2017-01-01 to 2017-03-31 Abusoryuuto Deyuo 「 Absolute Duo 」 At first I wasn't completely sure how much I'd like this one but I found a few redeeming points. I feel that if money wasn't such a driving factor behind it, it could have been an awesome anime. Amaburi,  甘城ブリリアントパ...

Quarterly anime roundup December 2016 *Spoiler Free*

So I've decided to scrap the season thoughts. Instead I'll write a post every 3 months which'll contain the thoughts I had right after watching an anime. As such it should be taken as mere thoughts that I had directly after watching it. It's NOT a review, more of a final impression if you will. Anyway It'll contain whatever I watched during those 3 months with little if any regard to release season or current trends. You can find my complete list of anime I've watched and their star rating on kitsu.io/users/APasz/library So without further ado. Japanese title「English title」*=unofficial. Titles I've completed during this period 2016-10-01 to 2016-12-31 Aoharu x Kikanjuu「Aoharu x Machinegun」 Interesting, not that great but still decent enough. I don't really have much to say. Bananya It's cats, in bananas... come on, that is so Japanese I just had to check it out. Not much to it really, it's just... cute, yeah lets go with that. ...

My final thoughts on the Spring 2016 anime season. *Spoiler Free*

Yes I know I'm very late, Sorry. Again I'll keep it short and sweat. I've watched all aired episodes as of writing. I'm not listing series that are continuing into the Summer 2016 season, such as Re:Zero, Twin Stars... I will keep spoilers to a minimum as much as possible. Official (*=Unofficial) English translation contained within「」. As a scores may change I wont be listing them here but if you want a score, You can find my watch-list on Hummingbird (I know MAL is better but it's too late now) hummingbird.me/users/APasz Dropped Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou - episode 5 Usakame - episode 6 These simply weren't gelling with me. High School Fleet「Haifuri」 So it actually ended up being at least half way decent. It's not brilliant but if you like warships, douzo. As far as I can tell it is quite accurate, not 100% by any stretch of the imagination but close enough, unlike something like, Ars Nova. Gakusen Toshi Asterisk: 2nd Season「The Asterisk War: T...

Time and Date formats.

I wanted to give my take on the debate about which date and time format is the best. The are 3 main formats for dates and 2 for time. D/M/Y, Y/M/D, M/D/Y, 12 and 24 hour time. There are other formats but these are the main ones. So why do I use Y/M/D 24h in a country that uses D/M/Y 12h? It's simple really but first, lets all agree that M/D/Y makes no dam sense. Anyway, moving on, D/M/Y and Y/M/D Makes sense because it goes from smallest to biggest or biggest to smallest and they can be easily swapped between but the biggest reason is due to how a computer counts. The most commonly used counting system is the hexadecimal (edit: sorry, I meant base36, hexadecimal is base 16) system which is from of 0 to Z. So 0, 1... 9, A, B... Z and symbols have their own block but that varies bit as to which character-encoding scheme is used. If you have a set of files that all start with the date and you sort by name. Under the D/M/Y system you get, 01-01-2010 01-02-2010 01-10-2009...

Battlefield 1 Open Beta Thoughts

The Battlefield 1 open beta (or bata if you're American), has just ended. Now it time to figure out weather you should pre-oreder or not. The answer is NO, you should not pre-order Battlefield 1. Well thanks guys for that very informative talk, I'll see... wait, what do you mean I have to actually talk about it. Fine whatever random person on the internet. I was only able to manage 3.5ish hours in the beta, I would of liked playing more but I'm busy. I'll start off with a very simple list of the Good and Bad in the Beta. The Good Clean and Informative User Interface. 60 tick Servers No Americans Battlefield Feel The Bad Only one map No offline The Neutral Class System Weapon and Map Balance I don't often bring up UI design but when I do, there is something there. I can't can't quite put my finger on it though, maybe it's the clean white style, the animations, placement, context. It just fits and refreshing somehow....

PC vs Mac...

Today I'll be comparing the oldest competitors in the industry. PC vs MAC. I wont be going into detail about hardware or even software but I'll be talking about the general differences of philosophies between these two camps. Since I'm not in my 50's I don't have first hand experience of the early days but I do of the the last 10-15 years. The biggest difference is the fact that the PC market is made up of heaps of different companies such as Intel, AMD, NVidia, IBM, Asus, Gigabyte, Sony, Acer, Logitech, Razer, Sennheiser, Antec, Kingston, Hitachi and so, so many more and then some more behind the scenes the consumer never hears about. Wheres on the the Apple side, you've got Intel, AMD, NVidia and Apple themselves. The Experience When you get an Apple product whether it be a desktop, AiO, laptop, tablet, phone, watch, you know exactly what you are getting because Apple controls every facet of the experience as much as they can which results in a overal...

I did a music 'thing'.

You may not know this but I love music yet I've never actually dabbled in making it. So I dabbled and made a thing. So now I serve you a 'thing'. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL97SraUKLlZqw6Ni6D53D84Ec6gxsMCHU . AJ-R .   - アパゾ
