SMASH 2013

SMASH! – the Sydney Manga and Anime SHow is a convention happening every year in Sydney, and its goal is to celebrate the culture of Anime, Manga, Video games, and Cosplay.

ClariS

I made this as a music monday a few weeks ago. Copy pasta from the Anime@UTS website.

Hello and welcome to the first thrilling episode of Music Monday with your host JamieJakov.

If you have you seen Ore Imo, Madoka Magika or Nisemonogatari you should be familiar with the group ClariS.

ClariS is a japanese pop music duo, consisting of high school girls Clara and Alice. The duo was formed in 2009 when the girls did a cover of the Vocaloid song “Step to You“. Read More ▷

Anime@UTS AGM 2012

September 30th, 2012

Anime@UTS AGM

Yesterday, 29th of September was the day of the UTS Anime clubs Annual General Meeting. There we discussed the events of this year and plans for the future. But the main event was the election of the new executive team.

First of we thanked the 2011-12 execs for all their hard work. And then we proceeded to elect the new team.

I wanted to go for two positions: Events manager and Screenings coordinator, and so I did. However apparently one person can only have one position, so therefore during the events coordinator elections, I was shot down. But then I was nominated for screenings director by everyone and everyone seconded it and so thats how everyone elected me as screenings director /shock XD

Overall the whole exec team changed (except for Mr. Prez and Kiri). We will make this year even more fun!

Pokemon on my Mac

June 17th, 2012

Because of all this talk about Pokemon in the Anime@UTS club lately, I fell into nostalgia mode and decided to replay some of the classics.

In order to do that though, one either need a Game Boy / Color / Advanced / Nintendo DS.  In my case I have a Game Boy Advanced, however i do not posses any of the Pokemon games…. sadface.jpg

So what does an IT guy do in this case, one thing! find an emulator. And I was successful. Now I can play any Game Boy games on my iTaiga (MacBook Air) or iKonata (Mac Mini). 1 ROM is usually 1-20MB and they provide infinite enjoyment!
