THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY

What, you thought Galahad was just being paranoid and crazy?
You should know better than that by now.

I don't have much to add this time around.
I hope I can upgrade my version of Flash soon, I think my use of outdated programs is starting to noticeably weigh me down.

Also, go play 8-bit Killer. Now.

YOUTUBE SHENANIGANS OF THE DAY

Since my last video involved Youtube Poop, I figured this week I should enlighten you all to what the Youtube Poop in Japan looks like (I think they refer to it as "[MAD]", as I usually see videos marked with that very Youtube Poop-esk). Most Japanese Youtube Poop in Japan revolves around music mixed together with meme based quotes and/or scenes.

I picked this one in particular because it has an interesting background to American audiences. Years ago, they showed a dubbed version of Rurouni Kenshin on Cartoon Network. I'm not much a fan of the series, so I don't know a whole lot about it, only that it didn't seem to air long on Cartoon Network for some reason. Anyway, Japanese internet goers found the English version of the series. The English voice actors trying to speak Japanese struck them as pretty hilarious in the same way we might find it hilarious when Japanese actors use inane English words (aka "Engrish"). In particular, the use of the phrase "Futae no kiwami! YAAAAAAAAAAA!" became a meme to them. This video is one of the numerous examples of this one particular meme.

I love the irony.
