Hulu Gets Mirage of Blaze

Yeah, I don't have much to say about this show. I've never even heard of it. Mirage of Blaze sounds like a spell from a Japanese RPG. But I'm gonna at least give this show a chance because Media Blasters operates right here in New York City. I'm easy like that.

Media Blasters have their own channel on Hulu. I recommend watching Girl's High and KITE: Liberator. I still haven't watched Ramen Fighter Miki but that was before I knew Media Blasters were the ones to license it. Just added the show to my queue.

I could probably relate to Ramen Fighter Miki given that's all I can afford to eat these days.

Fanservice Friday: Ladies versus Butlers!

Ladies versus Butlers! takes last year's trend of characters crash landing face first on top of other people crotches to a higher level. The following sequences not only raises the fanservice bar, it's absolutely absurd! I've studied it frame-by-frame like the Kennedy assassination tapes and I'm no closer to figuring out how they landed that way. Did the maid spin towards the ground at the last second or something? This thing defies all laws of real-world physics AND cartoon physics!

Shigurui: Death Frenzy on Hulu

Arsen's forever been trying to get me to watch Shigurui: Death Frenzy. He knows the kind of anime I like and believes I'll enjoy it. I'll admit, it does sound like my kind of show when he describes it: blood & guts with a compelling story. Arsen wants so much for me to watch Shigurui: Death Frenzy that he copied the show to my hard drive. Have I watched it yet? Of course not.

When I saw Shigurui: Death Frenzy on Hulu's list of Recently Added Shows this morning, I felt more than a little guilty. But what's there to feel guilty about?

Galaxy Express 999 Joins Hulu Lineup

Hulu just added a page for Galaxy Express 999. I don't really expect you to sit here and watch the whole thing from your browser but it didn't feel right to not include it.

Or not. I don't enjoy watching long-form programming sitting at my desk anymore. After ditching cable last year the next logical step was to connect my laptop to my TV and that's how it's been ever since. Now I can watch programming from the comfort of my bed! Feels good man.

I guess what I'm expecting is for you to follow the Galaxy Express 999 link, add the show to your subscriptions and watch from the comfort of YOUR bed (or couch, or loveseat, or your aunt's laminated sofa, rocking chair, ottoman, lazyboy, beanbag seat, yoga mat), with Hulu Desktop.

Is anybody still reading this?

Fanservice Friday: Princess Lover! - Stop Teasing!

Why you've done this?

One Piece 434 - That's So Gross!

Makes me laugh every time. At what age does poop stop being funny?

Fanservice Friday: Dance in the Vampire Bund - Crazy Vampire Boobs

You don't often see cartoon characters get implants but that's exactly what I suspect is going on here. But what kind of implants are we dealing with here? Those are not your garden big fake boobs. Arsen thinks they're made of jello, I say it's some kind of custard pie filling. What say you, precious reader?

Batman & Robin Exposed! (Not Nude)

Batman & Robin? Moar liek Batman x Robin, amirite?

Customize Blogger's Search Result Pages With searchQuery

In January of last year I wrote an open letter to Blogger asking them to expand the pageType attribute. It was an appeal to add to the existing functionality in Blogger and fix what I perceived to be bugs and oversights. I included proposals for new pageType values, why we needed them and the problems they would solve. Blogger never responded. The good news: I've figured out a solution for almost every original problem!

The pageType for new Blogger Pages is 'static_page'

Blogger's worst kept secret–Pages–has finally bubbled to the surface. First things first, the pageType is 'static_page.' Don't expect Blogger to update the documentation, they never do. It's wasn't hard to find the pageType, I've been working on a tool that takes the work out of this type of thing. I plan to release it to the Blogger community very soon.

If you try to leave a comment on static_page you get error bX-knqpxc. There's also an issue with line breaks. I wish I had more than 15 minutes to play around with this but I was in the middle of doing something else and got distracted. I only posted this because Blogger didn't. I searched Blogger's Help documentation and there's not a single mention of static_page.

I should probably stop bringing that up, I sound like a broken record.
