The Code Trainwreck Drinking Game

Kaioshin’s terms for a Code Trainwreck drinking game are too weak. “Fangirling Over Schneizel” is like 30, and “Link to something Kaioshin said” is like 9.

• Drink every time I type Schneizel.

Okay there, now you’re actually fucked! But let’s keep going anyway.

• Drink every time I post a random theory. Two if it has backing in absolutely nothing.
• Drink every time I go into rambles about SYMMMBOLISMMM.
• Drink every time I mention yaoi.
• Drink every time I make a typo.
• Drink every time I mention a meme. Doesn’t have to be related to Geass, but just meme’s in general.
• Drink every time I get too lazy to make proper posts and just copypaste logs or forum posts.
• Drink every time I mis-tag shit.
• Drink every time I start with a random example that is kind of sort of related to what the rest of the post is about.
• Drink every time a commenter doesn’t “get it”. Shining Example: Schneizel bashing.
• Drink every time that someone links here to Tamaki’s Girlfriend’s Roman Album commentary without linking to the actual interview translation.
• Drink every time that 風の谷の名無しさん comments.
• Drink every time that you get Schneizel as your anti-spam word.
• Drink a whole keg for each time I change the layout and forget to add the anti-spam box in the comments form.
• Drink every time you read non sequitur, either from me or the commentators.
• Drink every time I mention some random crossover.
• Drink every time I change my mind about something.
• Drink every time I post random fanart to accompany the walls of tl;dr that has little if anything to do with what the walls of tl;dr are talking about.
• Drink every time a type of game (RPG, MMO, Mafia, etc) is brought up.

The Kaioshin Sama Drinking Game

• Drink every time that Kaioshin says he’s wasting his time with a certain community or certain blogs or whatever, just to come back the next week. Example: GameFAQ’s.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin gets into an argument about what people think of Geass. Drink again if he later blogs about Geass, bitches about people on the internet, and references things said by those people he’s been arguing with. Example: hinode from GameFAQ’s and “fanwank”.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin goes back on his word. After discovering the “Secret Board” on GameFAQ’s, then being told by flow not to go around spreading stuff from the Secret Board and him even agreeing (for reasons related to his ego, see below), Kaioshin gets on AnimeSuki and says he’ll share the information with people who he deems “worthy” when they PM him. (Note: I’m linking to Kang’s reply with Kaioshin’s post quoted because linking to Kaioshin’s replies makes him delete the posts.) He has, as of now, completely broken that by nearly giving the details about them on his blog, when Tamaki’s Grilfriend pretty explicitly said “No.” So much for “sworn to secrecy”, eh?
• Drink every time that Kaioshin’s ego and self-importance comes up. Example: In direct relation to the above, after being told not spread the Secret Board things, Kaioshin took this to head, thinking himself as having special privileges to be able to read it. Also in relation to the above is the very fact he was asking people to PM him and then he would DEEM them worthy. No one deemed him worthy of visiting the Secret Board to begin with, so who does he think he is, exactly? Also in example, Kaioshin believes that he’s SPESHUL for giving Haruhi and Lucky Star “lower ratings” than at AnimeSuki. When you go look at the actual votes, it appears that other people gave ratings like those too! Kaioshin fancies himself a monotony breaker, which basically means he thinks he has some RADICAL shit going on. Lol ego.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin mentions the alternate R2 scenarios like as if they were what R2 was going to be like before the timeslot change. I think Rolo’s role in R2 should be a big tip off for most about how the alternate R2 scenarios had already been scrapped long before the timeslot change. I think it should also be obvious that the Roman Album interview doesn’t refer to the alternate scenarios, but the various versions of R2 01. But whatever.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin hides something. Example: He password locked this post, but I got it on GoogleCache and re-uploaded it for Ascaloth to link to.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin sends you hilarious PM’s like this one or this one.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin insults a translator for just doing their job. Example: Implying that information (translations is what this was in reference to - in specific the Schneizel/Animedia thing) I post on this blog is unreliable. Oh, I’m sorry Kokizzzle, you must be an unreliable translator. Mandoric must be too. Also in example is when he stirred up trouble with DarkMirage over Menclave’s Gundam 00 subs. He even had a blog post about it, but since he hides things, that’s of course long gone. See comment #32.
• Drink every time that Kaioshin shows disgust for meme’s. Take another drink if his ignorance of them leads to comically wrong statements about meme’s. Clearly we should talk about and reference things we don’t “get”, kids.

/a/ you are wonderful

Never change, /a/. Never change.
Also thank you anonymous writefag.
Edit: Okayokay I’ll post all of it as it gets posted!

Here is this awesome Schneizel x Kannon’s hat fanfic that’s being posted on /a/~

Part 1

Kannon held his hat protectively in his fair hands as he walked slowly to Prince Schneizel’s office.

He knew that this constant sexual activities with his delicate hat and his prince where not going to be a good thing. His hat had seemed heaver than usual, it’s usual soft silk, feeling more dry than usual. He had gotten it cleaned numerous times but nothing seemed to do a thing.

So this is what had brought Kannon to Schneizel, his features dark with the uneasy feeling building inside him to tell the Prince the news.

He knocked on the door, and entered quickly, Schneizel sitting at his desk, seemingly busy with the paperwork on the table.

“Oh Kannon, what is it?”

“Um, your highness. I’m not sure how to tell you this…”

“What is ever wrong? You look a lot sick.” Even with considerate words, Schneizel usual expression didn’t change.

“You see, Schneizel-sama, my hat, this hat, it’s well… it’s pregnant. And you’re the father.” Read more »

tl;dr of the previous week

• 43 of my 50 post spamming fest completed. SO CLOSE YET SO FAR. I should’ve just taken that advice about image dumping. q_q
• THE FINAL CARD. IT IS IN SCHNEIZEL’S OWN HEART.
• Charles hid good intent with bad intent, Schneizel hides bad intent with good intent. THE MEANING OF THE REVERSED COLORS EXPOSED!!!
• The reaction to the Euphinator scene can make or break character interpretations. Seriously.
• Schneizel’s mask means either: He’s serious about wanting to rule the world and OMG CONTROL everything, or he’s trolling the shit out of everyone, or he’s an imoutocon.
  • Honestly I think I’m going to go with the imoutocon thing because I think it actually makes the most sense out of everything I’ve written despite it having a fuckload of holes. It somehow has less holes than “Schneizel is a the Joker” or “Schneizel is a control freak.”
• Mask aside, he’s a sociopathic broken AoE damage dealer who is an Engineer from Texas. He is also definitely not Yagami Light.
• If Diethard is going to double cross anyone, then Lelouch doesn’t know about it.
• Nina is totally going to Randy Quaid this shit for the ending.
• Kannon is either Ribbons, a Geass giver who isn’t using his powers to help his “King”, a Schneizel sympathizer, Naoto, or Schneizel’s gay lover/tea bitch.
• Kallen x C.C. is the GOOD END.

Eta 1hr until airing. COME ON IMOUTOCON SCHNEIZEL!

Southwest

Pendragon is sitting up top the Gulf of California. I guess it’s in Mexico (Baja California or Sonora) or near Yuma, Arizona. Having lived in Arizona 18 years of my life, this is amusing to me. :< This does make the Clovis and beach thing make a lot more sense though! I imagine there are plenty of beaches around for him to be at rest. On the other hand, what’s up with it being in the Southwest? I thought in the history lessons from the S1 DVD’s, the Queen moved to the colonies and the capital of Britannia was in the Northeast?

This post is beautiful

Lelouch is a cunt, Suzaku is an idiot, Schniezel is a psychopath, fuck it let them all die.

— Petah

This post from ADTRW is completely to the point and accurate. It’s a shining example of verbal economy in Geass discussion. Honestly I tend to go on long rambling tangents every time I write something. That first ideal ending entry would’ve been like 80 times longer if I hadn’t shut myself up last night. Even though I’ve gotten better about expressing myself in smaller more organized paragraphs, my expression still tends to get lengthy and unnecessary at times.

TVTropes

Thanks to [1], Crazy Awesome Yaoi Fangirl Miasmacloud’s Code Geass blog, the words Fabulous and Trainwreck get thrown around a lot regarding this show. Oddly, Miasma herself doesn’t really use Trainwreck in a very negative sense, instead using it to explain why she likes the show (besides all the Ho Yay) but the Unpleasable Fanbase has taken the meme up as a weapon regarding the latest and very divisive episodes.

’tis an honor to be mentioned like so though I don’t really think I’m all that responsible for trainwreck and fabulous meme’s. Ego +50. :D!

(Tbh, I think trainwreck is quite a neutral term because even if you think it’s bad, you’re still continuing to watch. And from a litfag criticism PoV where you suspension of disbelief drops itself, I think Geass is quite bad, but I’ve tried to give up looking at things through that lens. :p Just gotta sit back and enjoy the delicious Schneizel.)

Code Geass Q3: Linebarrels of Iron

You may or may not have heard of an upcoming fall anime by GONZO called Linebarrels of Iron. I believe this show is actually Code Geass season 3 in disguise. The show has Taniguchi on staff, Fukuyama Jun (Lelouch’s VA) is casted though he isn’t the main character, the main guy has some red stuff in his eye, and there’s mechas so there’s some KMF’s. Hell, the trailer even had Ali Project playing. Also, Noto Mamiko’s character? No memories, but remembers her name? Didn’t C.C. bitch about not remembering shit as a human, but she’s still got a “real name”?

Other fun things: It’s by GONZO (that company who makes such awesome endings that people have coined the term GONZO ENDING), and that Gundam SEED character designer dude is on staff.

I’m seriously considering blogging the first episode pretending like it’s a 3rd season of Geass.

Weekly pot ‘o potpourri

• First thing’s first: Why didn’t anyone tell me I spelled potpourri wrong last time.
• Geass Voice Synthesizer. What is this I don’t even…
• Taniguchi has been giving an interview for a business site about anime, making a hit, viewer generations, la la la. After the shitstorm caused by just commentary on a Taniguchi interview, I don’t really feel like delving too deeply into this. However, at one point, Taniguchi says that there’s 3 elements to a successful, which he names off as being your DVD and toy sales, your TV ratings, aaand if people are still humming the tunes from the show years down the road. This made me think of someone walking into Hot Topic goin’ jibun wo~ in the future.
• After a blurb in Gattai about me raping Schneizel’s corpse, I have decided that if Schneizel’s corpse makes it out of Geass intact, Kannon will keep it a la Rose for Emily in some room. Ignore the rat poizn part, though.
  • Oh, and Eej wants morphing .gif’s of Michael Garret <-> Kannon and Quattro <-> Schneizel. Someone make these, thanks.
• The Geass mafia game started the other day too. >:0! Quit being pussyfooting faggots and post, imo.
• I was writing something in this bullet point about Lelouch’s theatrics bullshit which turned into how I thought his voice actor always felt “forced” and this was representative of that and then this somehow morphed into how Nunnally being alive is kind of dumb and why LAST BOSS NUNNALLY would come off better if it was just LAST BOSS NUNNALLY or just LAST BOSS SCHNEIZEL and not like two phase battle but this is kind of related to why I didn’t think Schneizel would make an impression as a LAST BOSS because he comes off as set fireworks then sit around and watch them explode and then I realized this could probably be its own post and wound up writing about how I came to this conclusion because I think I just wasted an hour writing something I didn’t end up posting or something and I might be a little emo on the inside and baaaw.
• Kannon-tan is introduced in the R2 novels asking Schneizel if he would like more tea~ I don’t think the novels are canon due to various contradictions but this shit is cute and amusing. :(
• Uh, Euphy’s dub voice. I’m not sure how to say this. It’s like some episodes she sounds like she’s 12, and some episodes she sounds like she’s 40.
• Is it bad if the only reason why I want to see ep 23 is to get a clean screenshot of that delicious evil guy face that Schneizel was making in the preview?

lol geass-themed captcha

I don’t even need a captcha script at all, but I found a custom word one and went lulz mode. Word bank includes “shunakanOTP” and “faggotry”. This is secretly a plot to get people to spell Schneizel’s name right, maybe.

Anyone interested in Geass forum game mafia?

Foliage and I want to run Geass-style Mafia as a forum game, 15 person setup. This would be srsbsns “1 day = 24-48hrs” though, not the quickie games we play on IRC. Dead people quit posting in the thread when you’re dead, etc. We’re running it over at the RPGDL’s forums if anyone is interested. Britannia is the town, and the Black Knights is the scum.

M. Night Shyamalan and a live action Geasss Movie

Pretend that M. Night Shyamalan is directing a live action Geass movie. What would the plot be and who would play who? Actually, ignore the plot part. We pretty much skipped over it entirely and lulz’d about casting. Read more »

AniDB is fabulous

It has been brought to my attention that AniDB.net’s R2 page includes an “everything is fabulous” tag. How… how… how fabulous. I’m gunna have to do a reverse-Michael here, AniDB is not making me RAGE.

Dad said “No! You will BE KILL BY PLOT HOLES.”

Serpit | Posted 9/4/2008 8:55:14 AM | message detail
Taniguchi waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were plot holes in the script. He didn’t see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Mr. Okouchi were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Taniguchi was a anime producer for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the animes and he said to dad “I want to make the animes daddy.”
Dad said “No! You will BE KILL BY PLOT HOLES.”
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the script of the Sunrise writers he knew there were plot holes.
“This is Okouchi” the radio crackered. “You must fight the plot holes!”
So Taniguchi gotted his palsma pen and blew up the page.
“HE GOING TO KILL US” said the plot holes.
“I will shoot at him” said the cyber plot hole and he fired the fabulous missiles. Taniguchi plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the page ended and they were trapped and not able to kill.
“No! I must kill the plot holes” he shouted
The radio said “No, Taniguchi. You are the plot holes”
And then Code Geass was a trainwreck.

Fuck I laughed.

Why are you watching this show? Take 2

I had a poll back in July asking why you were watching Geass. After the events of R2 21, I want to ask the same question. After big revelations in the story, there are likely to be divided opinions, or opinions changed, or [whatever]. For me it’s still “Schneizel takes priority over all”. I could write a college thesis on that! But how about the others?

Edit: APPARENTLY PUTTING THE POLL IN THE POST MAKES WORDPRESS POLLS GO BATSHIT.

gg’s translator had a power failure

gg’s translator, Xabin, who does R2, had a power failure earlier today. He was hosting the tracker, so that’s down, I have no idea if he grabbed the Horrible Raw or not during the short time his power and net were working again. We can only comm. with him via text messages by proxy of TheFluff, and the last thing Fluff said was that his server = not detecting NIC anymore. Internet = No, but power is back, I guess! I don’t know how fucked we are atm, but the episode is probably going to be far later than normal.

Wakamoto Norio GPS

Okay lol. I saw the sample of this Japanese voice actor GPS system before. They made GPS systems using various JP voice actors, such as Kugimiya Rie. One of them is using Emperor Curly’s VA, Wakamoto Norio. Dio linked a 5min sample of the Wakamoto Norio GPS on IRC. Maybe Britannia uses GPS like this in their cars and KMF’s. After each driving instruction, yell ALL HAIL BRITANNIA or YES, YOUR MAJESTY.
