Manga Review #1, MegaTokyo!

By Dawnchaser
Have those few Cult followings, like, Tales From The Crypt, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, etc. What I am trying to say is that very few, if any shows from TVs, movies, comics, and video games have such a wonderful and loyal fan base then MegaTokyo. A piece of heaven from a good man named Fred Gallager, I and many fans of his have been following the adventures of Piro and Largo in Japan. This web comic has been in development since late in the year of 2000, thirteen years and a few months have passed since MegaTokyo first got stranded in Japan following a stint that a drunk Largo started, and Piro bailed him out of it.

Since then, adventure after adventure has surfaced, but, it's not as exciting to wait as it is to read, which comes to my point of MegaTokyo having gained a sturdy, and very interesting fan base, from the old hardcore to the ones that just joined. Nothing comes short but exciting and awe when Fred (Piro) draws us another comic, to keep us in suspense, and tease us with new drawings that he comes up with.

I first found out about MegaTokyo when I was about fifteen and in my local bookstore, looking through the manga section I was getting bored of the more then generic looking books and heroes. Not to get me wrong, I am a closet Otaku, and adore pretty much a lot of Manga and Anime, but at that time, everything just pretty much looked the same, until I came across a mange called "MegaTokyo". From the first few pages I was hooked, here was a comic that didn't have the generic hero, or have girls dressed with little to nothing, the jokes were actually funny, and the situations are a few that I could relate.

I guess that without a dose of Mega Tokyo every now and again, (I do wait until at least I get three pages of comic to read), I wouldn't have found a world that makes me feel at home, even if me and my good friends are more like this IRL then in the internet land of the crazy and insane. And if anything Fred is a trooper, even after his heart surgery, he and his wife continued to stride forward, and this should prove that with a lot of hard work, determination, and a passion for creativity, the sky is the limit for what you want to do. Here is the latest comic that I have put, and a link below to get you to the site so that you can begin or renew your adventure with these two gamers. Also, please make sure to share with friends and family, and make sure to always check back for the latest news and reviews. -Stray.

Science for the masses

No, not really, but it's really cool, well, the portable sawmill deal, at least with that some progress is being made in the real world, I guess. Been really busy since Friday so that is one of the many bland reasons as to why I did not write how Game Club go, or how nothing really happened and was only a waste of time that I could of done, or not. I mean seriously, I could play games at home, but I guess I was looking for the thrill and fun last time I was there.

Oh well, guess I have to go with what works, as for now, all I have is a friend of mine, Kirkland who sent me the video and I decided to share with all of you guys. All I can say is, that's a lot of dust... So please share with your friends and always check back for what's going on in this crazy blog of mine. -Stray.

Social Outcasts

Have You Ever, had that feeling in the pit of your stomach, you know the one where you either feel guilty for doing something, or nervous about going somewhere, or meeting someone new, or how that ice cream just isn't sitting well? Well that is what I am currently feeling, but it's mostly for who I am going to meet tomorrow, and for the fact that I wish I was nicer to my younger brother who drives me up the wall with his brash and annoying attitude.

But mostly about seeing that one chick, if you are a regular reader you will know who I am talking about, yes, the multi-colored hair girl that still holds a grudge against me and still ignores as if I don't exist. So, not sure what I'm going to be doing tomorrow at Games Club other then sitting in the back, and being a social outcast, like I usually am.

Yes, the infamous CCC Games Club, the one place where all other social outcasts gather to exchange information on games, each other, and how to deal the most death with controllers.

Sure, we social outcasts are just like regular people, but are more damaged of the human species, yes we play games that are sometimes for kids, and do and say things that we don't mean. But for the most part, we geeks, nerds, and neeks form a good bond, but sometimes the more aggressive female geek has issues that she doesn't know how to deal with, and will take that out on those around her.

I was, unfortunately, on the butt of one those rare emotional outbursts from one such female geek, I know I'm over thinking this, but I guess I'll have to just nerd up and sit in my corner. Engaging in the social communication of talking and making social bonds of friendship, maybe. I will keep you guys informed, and please excuse the lack of any reviews, been doing homework all day. -Stray.

Currently in class...

During break time, that is almost over, in my early morning English class, with a bunch of other tired students, and a mind that is starting to wander. I have a passion for writing, which was originally why I started this blog, to share the stories that I have written. Then it started to progress, from stories from me, to stories from other people, to complaints, to reviews, and then a variety of more. If it wasn't for the loyal readers that come here, I probably would of folded long ago.

(Teacher is talking...) (Almost done...) And the comments, oh the comments have been flourishing, I've been getting so much feedback... *Crickets heard in the distance* For wishful thinking, I really hope that I get something other then, no comment, and a follower or two... Meh, I will continue to be here, even if all you don't say a single world. I will take over the world and make you all zombies! Muhahahahahaha!

Now, you will all listen to this song, that explains in musical lyrics how I will take over the world, and make you think why, all with Yourfavoritemartian animation to go with it. Complete with star wars, potatoes,  and angry workers. Muhahahaha, please click on the link below to subscribe to their channel, like, comment, and as always, come back for the latest news and reviews from your truly. -Stray.

100th Blog Celebration Picture.


Again I suck at drawing, but I did doctor up this pic for you all.
-Stray. 

P.S. Even Raven says it needs work, don't want to
do anymore work. 







My how the time fly's by..

I didn't realize it, but the last post was my 100th post, and I don't think that I would of gotten so far if I didn't have such an awesome readership base. With over forty views now each day, besides for the few times that I don't post or forget to do stuff, I just wanted to thank each and every one of you that reads this. For the interviews I've done with several animators, for the stories from myself and Blood Raven 117, for the friends that I have gotten to make through doing this blog.

To me, this blog isn't really a place that I write random stuff and go, "that's that," no to me, this is a beginning of a place where any and all people can come together and share their stories, or reviews, or complaints, and not say what or who they want to see next.... >.> Comments are always appreciated, please comment and let me know so that I can reach other people with what is out there that deserves to be shared. Sure, I do some big time names, but most of the time, what I share, what I review they're small guys, but they have talent that should be shown off. To make them proud of what they have created, and let them know that their are people willing to say, "Go for it, don't stop."

Alright, I'll stop being weird and sappy, and since this isn't my usual character I need to make you all roll your eyes and wonder why you even bother to stay with me and "Interesting Life." Now, this isn't an animation but a book, more like a Graphic Novel, it's by Doug Tennapel, no I haven't read anything else by him but I did like what I read, even if I did ruin the library book and had to buy a new one... The style is like some young adult graphic novels that I've read but it's pretty neat. No I am not going to ruin it but, you are all going to enjoy it, especially with Garth. I suggest you read it and the eBook is only $10, so a great deal.  Click on the picture to go to Amazon to get the book if you want, and as always stay in tuned for more news from me. -Stray.  (Also doing a special picture to thank you all)

Music Review on the go

I really haven't reviewed any music lately, in fact I think that I have yet to do an actual music review, but I was thinking that I should probably review something. And while I was on Vsauce, because they are just awesome, I came across one of the songs that happened to be done by a musician with a thing for dubstep.






Now I for one think dubstep, if done right is amazing, but it has to be pure sound for me to actually appreciate it, and LDUKMusic has that amazing talent to make me bop my head.

Now, I know what you're all thinking, how does dubstep work for this musician? Well, let me tell you, see there are musicians with talent, actual, amazing talent, and then their are those that can't sing to save their lives, and with todays "music artists" they need all the digitalization they can get. I swear, I wish songs were better then they are now. But now is not the time to make a complaint, let's just say that LDUKMusic has a gift and that gift is amazing. So please, turn up the volume, sit back and just enjoy the amazingness that is LDUKMusic. Also click on the link to go to the channel, subscribe and favorite and share this with all your friends. And always check back for the latest news for reviews from independent animations to a good story. -Stray.

Ever wondered...

What makes things go boom? Or how vampires never age? Or just destroy everything around them? No? Bummer, guess that means that no one would be willing to stay here and continue to learn about what am I about to write about... Oh, does this mean that you're staying here to read about it?
Good to hear that, hahaha, sorry, just happy that I'm done with homework until Wednesday, well mostly.


Now, Team Four Star is a pretty cool group, making some of the nicest abridged series from Dragonball Z, and you guessed it, Alucard abridged. Alucard is again a series that if you can't take a joke, or don't like blood this abridged and the real series is not for you.

So now that the warning has been issued, I can continue with sharing all the love around that involves killing, maiming, and making fun of the church, nazis, and more killing. I don't usually deviate from my usual posts about independent animators and their wonderful stories, but I really couldn't resist as my dark side is popping out again... So please watch the latest of the Alucard Abridged series, which I will be putting on here as well as the link so that you can like it if you want. Make sure to always check in when I get the chance to post on here and also my youtube channel. -Stray.

I admit it...

I might have gotten kidnapped on my way to post something and took me a few days to get it out of my soul, and head. A show that doesn't make much sense but is funny to watch, Ghost Stories. If you haven't seen it then you don't know what real pain and suffering for all people is about, no seriously, this show makes fun of everything and one, religion, homo's, God, ghosts, pussy....cats... >.>" Make of it what you will, but yes I have been listening and relistening to it again and again while I was doing homework...

Make of that what you will but I swear that I am almost done... So.... Close... <.< But I needed a break and listened to YuGiOh abridged series, if anyone knows where episode 60 is please let me know A.S.A.P. and I might possibly pay you... Don't count on that though as I am the Grinch, just not wearing green, and steals little childrens hopes and dreams instead of presents.

As for the animation I am going to show it is in the same category as the first two shows I was talking about before but has a twist. Ever heard of Paging Dr. Seuss? It's a cartoon and not what most people think it would be about. Well, I would be spoiling it if I said what it's really about, and so I am going to make you all watch it. I wasn't able to find it on YouTube, not even the animator had it on his channel but you will be able to find it on NewGrounds, so I am going to give you the link here,  as even me trying to download it off of the site didn't want to work. So please forgive the lack of animation on here, and click on the link, like or even favorite it when you get a chance. Please make sure to always check back for the latest news from me, your furry friend and evil kid taker. -Stray.

One Late Night Post...

I am currently sitting here, in the dark, worrying about School, a simple thing I know, but it's been about three years since I last went, and there is still a girl there that holds a nasty grudge against me. Why? I honestly have no clue, only thing I still have is that I am to stay away or police will be called. So what do I do? I stay away the best I can, sure I see here every now and then, and I don't say hi, I make sure to give her the space she wants.

So last year I tried to apologize, no dice, she still holds something against me, again I have no clue why this is, I don't really know what I did. What I do know is that during that time, after I turned 21 I began to feel alone, sorely depressed, was recently homeless (again) and just trying to reach in order to be friendly. Meh, well the past is in the past and I do apologize for not writing earlier, again. (Get use to it).

The house is quiet, nice even, stop reading over my shoulder... Well nix the part about living with family, but I'm fine for now, I guess, just reminiscing about things that I keep inside me to learn from. I have no video for you guys tonight, just couldn't find anything about the worries of school in a video or audio format. But the picture works I guess, and if you guys haven't seen the video I put up on YouTube, here is a short summary.

Both "Interesting Life" and "Straydog" are both in a state of flux until School excitement dies down and I don't have to focus very hard on schoolwork and passing this term. A lot is riding on me passing with Financial Aid, but hopefully I will get an extra check and buy better equipment for recording sessions. And actually learn how to make my own stuff, etc. Instead of working on wonderful pictures already made by people with talent that is better then mine.

So please, my wonderful viewers, stay tuned for more posts as I will be posting more hopefully, ( >.>") don't quote me on that. So please follow and or subscribe for more reviews and news from this lone dog's blog, also best wishes to all students returning this year. -Stray.
