In a surprising turn of events,… it seems one of my anime wallpapers, a vector of Fate Testarossa from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s, has been turned into a psp skin by a fellow Japanese fan, and even provides a video guide on how he made it.
Though it’s not something new, there are still alot of people out there who don’t know about Gravatars. So I’ve decided to write a quick post about it and what it is.
Gravatars are all around avatars, it stands for Globally Recognized Avatars. You may notice, on some blogs and websites, comments by guests or users are often accompanied by personalized avatars. And when you write your own comment, you receive a generic avatar. Now, you may be wondering,.. how do I get a personalized one?
A solemn story of love and loyalty between the Vocaloid characters, Kagamine Len & Rin. This has to be the best MAD I’ve seen depicting Vocaloid Len. Another great reason why I find the Vocaloid series so interesting. Most of it’s appeal comes from fan-made creations and derivations.

Japanese fonts span a small scale when compared to the available library of English fonts. And the default installed Japanese typefaces that Microsoft provides, such as MSGothic and MSMincho, are barely enough for variety. Well, not surprising, as very few people really have the need for it… but for people like myself, who want to make use of Japanese fonts in their graphic work, having a wide array of Japanese fonts can be quite useful.
Neutral’s Escape games are a challenging set of flash games where the objective of the game is to escape out of the room. You have to make use and interact with the objects inside the room to ensure escape. The games require a certain amount of logic and creative thought, as well as an inquisitive mind.As far as I know, it is the best of it’s genre. All the other room-escape games I have seen, seem to lack the visual style and atmosphere that Neutral’s games carries.
Undoubtedly, am sure it is worth your while.^^
