Japanese Anime Series: 'Walkure Romanze'

“Walkure Romanze” is a twelve episode Japanese anime series that aired from October 2013 until December 2013. It is a story that is inspired by a combination of Medieval Europe and Victorian Era Europe. This romantic school drama is adapted from the erotic visual novel game of the same name, but the series itself has no nudity let alone graphic sex.

Thus, Walkure Romanze is safe for minors to watch. The story takes place at a school in which jousting is the sport of choice. Takahiro Mizuno, a former champion jouster, teaches childhood friend and romantic interest Mio Kisaki on the sport of jousting.

However, there are other females that want Takahiro to teach them as well. Walkure Romanze is a unique love story with the main focus on the Medieval sport of jousting. If you enjoy fantasy stories, you may want to check out Walkure Romanze.

Crunchyroll currently has the North American license for the anime. You can check out all episodes on Crunchyroll.

How to Capture & Share a Screenshot

I found an extremely interesting extension on Apple’s browser that is called Safari and I wanted to share it with you. This extension allows you to take a photograph of part or all of a website and then either save it on your computer or share it through Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. The above photo is an image that I took with it. I took a photo of part of the webpage that showed Fort Worth’s Longhorn herd.

To obtain this extension you merely have to open up your Apple safari browser. Then click the button that is located near the top of the screen on your browser that kind of looks like a flower and click on the drop down menu. You will then see a choice called “Safari extensions”. Click it and it will take you to a page called “Safari Extensions”. You will then want to look for the extension that says “Awesome Screenshot” and click “Install Now.” You might then have to restart your computer for it to work.

After it is installed you will appear towards the top of your browser. Mine is located to the left of the webpage address. It will look like a black ball with a dot in the center. To use it simply go to a webpage that you want to save, click on the icon and it will give you three options. You can either capture the visible part of the page, capture selective areas of the page, or capture the entire page. Once the page is captured it will open up a new page on your browser and you will be allowed to edit the photo and then either save it to your computer or share it with others.

Japanese Anime Series: 'Golden Time'

“Golden Time” is a Japanese anime series that is adapted from the light novel series of the same name by Eji Komatsu which ran for the Dengeki Bunko imprint from 2010 until 2014. The series itself, which is twenty-four episodes, ran from October 2013 until March 2014. It is a modern-day romantic comedy drama that focuses on a group of college students.

The main focus is on Banri Tada who is starting his first year at college studying law. After losing his way, due to not being used to Tokyo yet, he meets and befriends Mitsuo Yanagisawa who is also studying law and shares the same classes as Banri. They hit off the friendship; that becomes a precursor to the future romantic relationship between Banri and female protagonist Koko Kaga with the latter claiming that Mitsuo is meant to be her fiance.

Ultimately, Banri and Koko must deal with their own issues as they come closer together. Banri is struggling with his memory loss, prior to starting law school, all thanks to an injury that almost left him for dead and placed him in a coma. Koko has to deal with the fact that Mitsuo simply is not interested in being her husband along with the fact that she seemingly has no real friends at school. She also has to deal with the fact that she joined the same school for the wrong reasons but is thankful to have met Banri.

At school, Banri slowly starts to meet figures from his past. He learns more about himself prior to the accident that gave him retrograde amnesia. You can stream the series on Crunchyroll.

“Lupin III” aka “Lupin The 3rd,” one of the oldest anime franchises, is still very popular. Now, there is a new Lupin III anime series that will be rolling out in 2015.

For that reason, the anime will air in Italy first before airing in Japan. Lupin once again works with Daisuke Jigen, Fujiko Mine, and Goemon. In addition, the crew continues to be chased down by Inspector Zenigata of Interpol. There is also another major change: the color of Lupin's coat.

Normally, Lupin is known by his red coat. He trades in the red coat for a blue coat. This is akin to a British Imperial soldier trading the red coat to join the American Colonial Army for a blue coat. Keep in mind that Lupin has changed the color of his coat a few times.

Looking forward to Lupin III next year.

If you have a Playstation 4 console, then you are probably waiting for the 2.0 update to the console's firmware. Under this update you will get enhanced live streaming, improved voice commands, a place on the screen for “players you might know,” Playstation 4 data backup to a USB drive, and an “Add To Library” button for the Playstation Store.

Add To Library is handy if you are a Playstation Plus member as you can get those free games without having to immediately download. Meaning, you can go online and play games and stop playing when you feel like it to download free content for Playstation Plus members.

A bigger attraction is the ability to play music on your Playstation 4 console. However, the music has to be on a USB drive because the Playstation 4 will not save it onto the hard drive. You can plug in your smart phone or other music player. You can listen to artists like Lady Gaga, The Game, BAP, f(x), Drunken Tiger, Lorde, 50 Cent, Datsik, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Garbage, Rage Against The Machines, Lil Wayne, etc.

Should the music freak you out when playing The Evil Within, you can play a music tune that makes the feeling less scary.

UK Workers Pay More In Tax Than Facebook!

Facebook generously gave it's employees millions of pounds worth of company shares last year after making £900m ($1.5bn) in profits. Through use of clever off shore accounting they received a total tax bill of £3.169 which when you consider they received a Credit of £182,000 means their actual tax bill was £-178,831.

It is funny that government is spending Billions of pounds to paint the poorest and most in need as greedy work shy fraudsters while continuing to reward corporations for playing the system just because they are scared they will stop trading here. Let them go, they are only draining the system anyway.

There are plenty of UK based business that will thrive in their absence and pay the taxes they owe. Change the law Kick Out those companies that don't pay their way and let honest business take their place.
