“A shot of one of the menus while playing a song. I figure wildarmsheero would enjoy this”

You figured correctly. Incidentally, my Kaede dakimakura cover came in today.

Sorry for the late comment, I only just found this entry poking around in my referral log…

Eh? A Zune?

Zune sounds like an anime character’s name already… (kinda sounds gundam-ish)…

I named my PSP “Miu” in honor of that brat of Ichigo Mashimaro fame. I used to name my hard drives non-anime characters, but with the last one I bought a year ago, I finally bucked that trend by calling it “Nanaka”. I usually don’t name my iPods for some reason.

I got a Zune as well but i went for the red one instead. Named her Rosie. lol I couldn’t think of anything clever enough.

I found some alright wallpapers at this site: http://themezune.com/

the anime ones are pretty mediocre at best. Do you make your own?

> so what seiyuu names are you using for your stuff? XD

Desktop is Yukarin-TT (Twin Tail, since it’s a dual core system), tablet notebook is Minorin (previous notebook was Saeko), smartphone is Nana, some misc servers/equipment which are named Mai, Rie, Yui. I’ll leave it up to you to figure out which seiyuu I named them after. :p

I too got sucked in because of Woot. $100 bucks for a 30 gig Zune seemed like a sweet deal to me. I didn’t pay much attention to the Zune until recently, but if they keep at it, they’ll have a very formidable opponent for Apple’s iPod.

And the new 80 gig Zune has DVD-quality video-out, that’d be handy to bring to school to show some fansubs for the anime club…

Woo, I’m in the social~

Yeah, I´ll try to order the three remaining Haruhi boxes as I get money each month. Or just fall under the preasure and order them all at once… I want to see how it´s shipped first.

From all the extras I know I´m going to love the box

And for a mp3 player, I´m going back and forth, have a iPod Nano 2gig which I´m rarely using since my mobile phone does a stand in as a mp3 player, but playing Persona 3 made me want to get one again… or rather the earphones the hero is using.

houkoholic, glad I got your seal of approval! Also thanks for the heads for the sites; I’ll have to check them later.

… so what seiyuu names are you using for your stuff? XD

Adun, it amazes me as well ^^;; And cool about the server name. I had a quick laugh at that as well.

manga, hahaha gotcha bout the image bit. And congrats on ordering Haruhi v1 LE R1! It really is one of the better anime releases out there. Are you going to get the other 3 LE DVDs as well? *evil laughter*

air, yea it can but to my knowledge it is not with the latest firmware. There’s a rather simple hack you need to do to your Zune, which basically downgrades it to 1.2 and uploads the necessary unicode fonts. If you do a google search or check zuneboards.com you’ll find how to do it. Really pretty painless IMHO.

Also glad there are other readers out there with Zunes as well! “Welcome to the Social” I guess… LOL

Whoa, the Zune can do unicode now? Is this with the newest firmware? I’m gonna have to upgrade mine now!
