Just in case you missed it in Episode III (if you missed it, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE!?!?!), here's another glimpse of some rather awesome Sakhaline-Tan-style artwork!!
Seeing this image of 4chan's "king" in all his glory reminds me of all the things I hate about Japanese-style fan conventions. When visiting various conventions, there are three things I hate DESPISE. I'll save the other two hates for another time, but one of the BIG things I hate about cons, and even the Internet, is THE GAME.
Seriously, WTF? Imagine cruising around somewhere like the MCM Expo in London, or Japan Expo in Paris, or even the San Diego Comic-con (hopefully someday I will be there too!!!), and suddenly some asshole comes up to you and shouts "THE GAME". I mean, once, it's OK, but repeated times, over and over again. What the hell!? OK, I "lost" the game, but so what? It sounds like something only the small-minded think about 'cos they've got bored of thinking about Naruto all the time. OK, ok, so the Free Hugs retards may be slightly more numerous. But at least they're looking for love. (They're still assholes btw).
/Rant
Yeah, I know. I'm BORED!!
TRIPLE POST GET!!! (kind of...)
This is my third blog post in the space of 24 hours... I like this new method of procrastination! I can dodge my work and still feel like I'm accomplishing something!
*Ahem* Procrastination aside, the real reason for this particular 00:00 adventure into the world of Cyberspace is to announce something that I hope to start work on over Christmas and into 2010. Anime reviews. Yes, once a week / fortnight / whenever, I plan to spend time looking at some of the best and worst (mainly the worst) anime series around. Hopefully in video form, although that's not been confirmed yet (damn Student loans!!). So, if there's an anime series out there that you haven't seen, and want to know if it's either a **MUST SEE** or She: The Ultimate Weapon standard (definitely NOT a must see by any means!), feel free to suggest something and I'll review it.
Similarly, if there's an anime out there you've seen, and you want to know what my opinion on how good / bad it is, then again, please suggest it. I know these reviews are only being added to the hundreds of other opinions out there, but as you may have seen so far, I know my stuff, don't worry about that! ^_^
Peace Out!!
The Side Project. Coming December 2009.
It's episode three, half-baked fresh from the always-burning SACCAGE oven!
Level 100-Kun
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Friday. Oh gods, that seems so long ago.....
First things first - Episode Three. By the time I finish writing this, it should be on Youboob. Apologies for the extended delay - sadly, in this crazy, mixed up world we live in, the education I'm paying for (Grrrrrr) must come first. Once I awaken from my extended sleep (aka tomorrow), I'll post it up here.
Oh yeah, LONDON! Sadly due to filming / time constraints, we only got three videos of note... but trust me, they're crackers. And by crackers, I mean NUTS. Controversy! Insanity! Cosplayers! We have them all, and those three episodes will make up the final part of the first season of SACCAGE. We still got 5/6 videos to go from the J-Culture Con in Derby, plus a few more surprises planned, but after that you'll see London Collectormania appearing in 2010.
Hope you guys enjoy Episode Three... when it turns up!!
.....
Why the hell do I put up deadlines just to miss them?
Actually, episode three is in it's post-production stage now (aka where it stays on my hard drive waiting for me to convert it into something youtube will like), so it's ready to go up on Friday. The episode after that (imaginatively titled episode four) may have to be postponed due to the editing of a TOP SECRET SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME MINI-VIDEO which will probably be stuck up on here. But hell, postponing the release of the next video just adds to the tension and hype right?
Anyways, onto what I'm actually supposed to be talking about. This Saturday (i.e. 28th) the SACCAGE team will be at the London Collectormania con to slob around get some more videos filmed. So, if you live within travelling distance of the most stuck up city this side of the Atlantic Ocean and you want to be part of what will probably be Series Two of SACCAGE, then come on down! More information on Collectormania can be found here.
Peace out!!
Here it is, the long-awaited second episode!
Abyssinion and Seff
BONUS GET! Introducing.... Episode Zero?
For all those who still have no idea what's going on!!

My avid readers, it seems that I very much suck.
It took me four days to realise that apparently only "registered" (WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ANYWAY?) users could comment on the blog... sorry!! Screw you E-Blogger Jesus life!! Well anyway, that's now been fixed, so you may now POST AWAY!!!
We have some new videos prepared but because Youtube sucks of technical issues they may be slightly delayed. What will probably happen is we'll start uploading episodes every Friday, once a week. So in future check back here every Friday for your weekly shot of all things AWESOME [**SACCAGE VERSION**]. Oh yeah, and there's a special **surprise** episode going up when I get my money these technical issues are resolved.
And before I forget, we're looking for PEOPLE!! Yes, YOU!! Especially Cosplayers and people who **think** they know stuff about Japan. If you'd like to be part of our project, please contact bondmatt32@gmail.com. And if you happen to be part of an Anime / Japan - centric website, we're looking for AFFILATES to SPREAD OUR GLORIOUS WORDS!! Oh, and for that matter, if you think we're doing a good job, SPREAD THE WORD!! If you think we're doing a bad job, SPREAD THE WORD ANYWAY!! We need the attention......................................... plz?
Peace Out!!
Introducing episode one... Master Sama!!

Yeah, I know. You're probably wondering WTF Project Awesome actually is.
[There is an introductory video coming, however we have to pay the bills too, so... yeah, it might take awhile. But it is a priority ^_^]
The original Project Awesome is French - "le projet A.W.E.S.O.M.E" , created by French Otaku and super genius Zali Falcam. Anyway, in a nutshell, in this seriously awesome (LOL CWUT I DID THAR :P) series, Zali goes around anime conventions and interviews Otaku on their perceptions of Japan. Put it this way - just because you're wearing cosplay, does this make you Japanese? And the results are rather interesting .... and funny too xD You can see the original series here.
[WARNING! CLICKING THE LINK MEANS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FRENCH!!
.... but they're really nice people really! But remember they do speak ANOTHER language, so you might not understand WTF is going on!!]
And that's where we come in! With Sakhaline-Tan's arrival here in the UK, our spin-off series, Project Awesome : SACCAGE was born! We're doing pretty much the same thing - in October we visited the J-Culture Con in Derby, so our first ten or so videos will be from there. And after that... who knows?
Oh, before I forget... you're probably wondering how the interviews are done, right? Well, anyone brave enough to come and get interviewed by us has to answer three questions at random... from a choice of 160. They range from generic questions on Japanese questions to slightly more insane ones... hopefully you'll see what I mean when the first videos finally get dug up from our crypt!
Peace out!!

Welcome to the official blog for the Project Awesome **SACCAGE VERSION** !!
From now on, this will be the home blog for the U.K. version of the otaku-centered Project Awesome **SACCAGE VERSION**. My name is The_Saccage_Blogger , but you'll see me listed as Abyssinion elsewhere.... damn copyright!!

Once I'm finished offering our souls to the eternal god Kamina, and - perhaps slightly more importantly - finished figuring out how this DAMN HTML CODING WORKS!!!!!!, I'll show you exactly what our project is all about! Oh, and don't go thinking I'm the big cheese on this project, there are others around as well, but I'm sure they'll make themselves known at some point... hopefully... PLZ?
Peace out!!
