the BEST guide for Installing Video Codec... (till i write another one)

目前为止最好的视频解码软件的安装设置


the days of frantically looking through a bunch of video codec just to watch some pr0n educational tutorial is long gone. since CCCP just released a new version, i shall bestow upon thee the guide for setting up the best combination of video/audio playback/decoder as of this date. if you're not doing this already, well.. here's your chance for redemption.

1. download Combined Community Codec Pack
下载CCCP
2. "obtain" a copy of the latest CoreAVC decoder
下载CoreAVC
3. uninstall ALL video codec you have installed previously
反安装所有现有的视频解码软件
4. restart computer
重起电脑
5. run the CCCP file you just downloaded to install it
安装CCCP
6. extract and install CoreAVC, uncheck "Haali Media Splitter" during install
解压安装CoreAVC不要钩Haali Media Splitter
7. register CoreAVC with info provided in EDGE folder
用EDGE文件夹里的注册器注册CoreAVC
8. go to Start menu>All Programs>CCCP>Settings, uncheck H.264/AVC
在开始菜单里去CCCP运行Settings让H.264/AVC那盒子里不要有钩
9. ...
10. profit!
胜利!

now you can play stuff with either Media Player Classic or Zoom Player. the most noticeable benefit of following what i wrote here? ~30% improvement in H.264 decoding (for pretty much all the fansub anime and a lot of movies nowadays) speed and way better multi-processor utilization. although VLC is still the best standalone player, but its subtitle support, deblocking and decoding speed is nowhere as good.
用这个方法设置的话不光是整齐空间小,最明显的是播放H.264方式压缩的东西时一般可以加快30%左右

Code Geass "leaked cut scenes"

FLOW - WORLD END (Music Station 2008.08.15)

A different kind of FLOW as the last post... (har har cwut ididthar) this would be the OP for Code Geass R2 if you havn't guessed.

I imagine that the number of fans who listen to anime music is noticeably less than that who watch it, with the number interested in PVs and live performances even less than that. This live version is a shorter version of the song, but I find live performances much more entertaining to watch, because you’re not simply listening to a prerecorded track you’ve heard many times before. The atmosphere is also quite different when you have a crowd of rabid fan girls. :P

110 Million Memories - Voice of the 80's Generation

中国镜像男声版|女声版|FC版

The soundtrack originally came from Megaman2's WilyStage BGM. Some 11's remixed the song with lyrics and received phenomenal responses: this is quite possibly the best modernized remake of a videogame music from the 8-bit era. Before you know it, countless versions branching off of it.
思い出は億千万/亿千万的回忆（童年，死党，初恋）80年代人的呐喊.绝对经典。 原本是洛克人2代中,威利博士城堡第一关的BGM, 不过在ニコニコ动画,有日本朋友为它做了词,而且一配成名,更甚之,有神人重新演奏,导致了原本在玩家间被称为神曲的這首BGM在日本网络圈迅速成红

Full of nostalgia of growing up during the 80's, hope this song can help you find that childhood innocence deep within our worn hearts. manly tears~ (;´д⊂)
充满了80年代童年的回忆的神曲。。想想现在的自己 是多么的堕落。。。大家不要忘了自己童年的纯真啊。。

Wanted: Goth Lolitas to Teach Otaku Nerds Engrishu

Geek ghetto Akihabara has become the site of Cosplish, Japan's first English conversation school featuring cosplaying foreigner teachers dressed in wacky costumes.

Cosplaying teachers are told to teach students how to use simple, "maximal broken English", while the school also plans to give instructions on "Otaku English," using mostly abbreviations, and "Anime English," which will focus on English instructions of famous lines from cartoons like Gundam.

Founder Akihiro Suzuki figured opposites would attract and started Cosplish.

"Otaku are known for their incredible customer loyalty, while schools are known for their trouble in getting customers to keep on coming back, so I figured a school for cosplayers would achieve the perfect blend," Suzuki tells Cyzo.

Suzuki has a background running maid cafes, another otaku staple. Initially, he considered dressing up foreign women as maids and getting them to give English lessons in a place he dreamed of calling Maid in English. But he decided his vision was too narrow.

"Even though the maid trade within the otaku business seems to be broad-reaching, it's actually quite narrow. It only caters to otaku who have a thing for the image of maids," he says. "I thought I'd go for something broader, which would appeal to a wider audience, which is why I decided on the cosplay idea."

Enrolling in Cosplish is simple, requiring only that students e-mail in a reservation to attend a class, with times listed on the company's official website. The monthly magazine warns that classes are often suddenly cancelled if not enough people book to take them, 20 being the required number of students needed for a class to go ahead.

"I want to start classes for kids some time in the future," Suzuki tells Cyzo. "And I'll make the teachers get dressed up in Pikachu suits."

Gotta admit, this perv's got both powerlevel and business sense. I'd be uber at moonspeak by now if we had some ninja and/or meido teaching... Heck, i'm so opening one of these in Shanghai when i retire.

It has been announced today that former foreign minister Taro Aso won the ruling party’s election and will be the new Prime Minister of Japan. Here are a few fun facts about Aso:
前外交官TaroAso今日通过政权党投票上任日本首相，这些是有关他的几个有趣消息:

• - He's a Roman Catholic.
  在日本这种佛教重地, 他是个罗马天主教信徒
  
  
• - In 2001, as economics minister, he was quoted as saying he wanted to make Japan a country where "rich Jews" would like to live.
  2001年,在他还在掌管财经的时候曾经声称他想要让日本变成一个让富裕的犹太人梦寐以求的地方
  
  
• - He is famous for his love of manga, earning him many fans in the otaku community. Otaku refer to him by the nickname “Rozen Aso,” because he was once seen reading the manga Rozen Maiden.
  他是个出了名的'漫画通', 使得他在各国的动漫爱好者团体间呼声十分的响亮

And that's how the Strike Witches uniforms became standard issue to all schoolgirls... not really, but is this the confirmation of a NHK conspiracy? In any case, the presidential candidates in the States should be taking a page out of this guy's book by monopolizing interest groups that has a national scale audience IMO. And a christian japanese? there is something like this? i thought that was made up by Samurai Champloo.
几年后，人们是会回首赞叹他对日本女生校服的改善，还是怀疑这不过是美国人不敢学的拉选票的炒作？Aso对中国的态度蛮苛刻的，而且认为犯罪率和外来人口有直接的关系。希望他会继续用导入有钱人而不是剥削穷移民的角度去改善DraconicLaw带来的各种社会问题。

Although she is a singer and actor, I think she is more famous for being a female gamer/geek. This makes her the wet dream of many otaku. However, her love for her video games (she wants to marry Dragon Quest V) and her cats kinda creeps me out.



here's some of her cat eating pictures to show why asians have no soul...
