Shin Yamato Damacy Episode 7 – First Impressions
Written by Jeshii on 2010.08.02 – 03:58 -
The new episode of SYD is some first impressions based on photos.
On a side note, I love DaRC. DaRC, the head of YD operations for the last few episodes, isn’t someone I ever knew in Japan. I feel like I know him pretty well from all the videos, but really, all these people are totally unconnected to me. But, I there is a line of succession that runs between us. They took the YD mantle and ran with it. And each video they turn out makes me glad. I hope the tradition will continue for generation of JETs in Gunma.

NicoNama iPhone App is out!
Written by Jeshii on 2010.05.18 – 05:04 -
Not exactly quick on the heels of the NicoDou iPhone app, we now have the ニコ生放送 (Nico Namahousou, “Nico Live Broadcast”) app!
Yes, you can watch NicoNama while on the go. Yes, you can broadcast while on the go (I was able to do it on my old 2G, though it crashed halfway through. Check it out!). But no cruise. You can also just look for current iPhone broadcasts here.
While it is free, you have to have a Japanese iTunes account, but remember, you don’t need a credit card to make one.

How to Cockblock Chat Roulette
Written by Jeshii on 2010.03.12 – 00:10 -
So while most of the world gets nothing but dudes in stormtrooper masks masturbating on Chatroulette, Japan has ニコ生クルーズ (NicoNama Cruise). It literally is NicoLive on random (or at least apparent random). And for that short time that the cruise arrives at a broadcast, all the comments from the cruise go to the actual broadcast.
I’ve been obsessed with NicoNama Cruise the last few days just cause of the wonderful randomness you get out of it. You don’t always have to understand Japanese, but it helps. And if there is a broadcast you like, you can visit that one with the button at the end that says 「この放送を見に行く」.
Sure, it isn’t quite as personal as chatroulette, but I will tell you now, there is a lot less male genitalia. Also, a cute Japanese girl comes up every once in a while. So give it a try!

Year in Review 2009
Written by Jeshii on 2010.01.01 – 03:15 -2009 is over. This was quite the year! For my end of the year retrospective, I’ve gathered up my personal top 10 NicoVideos from the past year.
10.
Although Bad Apple didn’t even warrant a real entry from me this year (it did get a twitter update however), it was pretty much the biggest video of this year. I give it 10 for being awesome, but way overplayed.
9.
There was a major RED ZONE explosion around early Feb. They are all awesome, but Shuzo has a special place in my heart (Although the K-ON! one was pretty close).
8.
This Cirno video was very influential this year. My two favorite mads off this one were the Shuzo one and the K-ON! one (apparently I have very particular tastes).
7.
The Training-type MADs were all the rage, but this one closed the book on them. It was perfect. If you aren’t an Eva fan, then I apologize.
6.
2009 saw the birth of Hammer Day, which is the 11th of every single month. This was the last by the original Hammer Guy and still the best IMHO.
5.
K-ON! was another big part of 2009, and this was the MAD that I couldn’t turn off. It’s just too brilliant.
4.
I personally started watching Haruhi this year, so when I first saw this video, I had no idea who any of these people were (but I loved the video). Now, at the end of 2009, I have seen everything and am anxiously awaiting the movie.
3.
The Family Mart chime remix fad was started by this video. I couldn’t stop listening to it. Simple and shows you a little bit of how to use a KORG to make amazing music.
2.
The last しも (Shimo) medley video practically introduced me to NicoNicoDouga and essentially prompted me to start this blog. This one, which came out in June, was more like a review of my time on NicoNicoDouga. The joy was unspeakable, and so this takes #2.
1.
While it may look like I’m tooting my own horn here, this remix of our video pretty much crippled me with laughter. By far the most enjoyment I got out of a video this year. Thank you みすとん！
Honorable Mention:
The 韃靼海峡 (Dattan Kaikyou) based MADs were excellent before they started getting deleted. Totally would have made the top 10 if not for that.

Shin Yamato Damacy Ep. 5 – Obama
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.08 – 23:12 -
The best episode yet. BakaDaruku and new member David (Obama???) head out to 高崎 (Takasaki) looking to speak with them about US/Japan relations.
I think I like this episode the best since it really reminds me of the good ol’ YD feel. I mean, talking to チンピラ (chimpira) and 女子高生 (joshi kousei) was all we ever did. However, I don’t think either BakaDaruku nor David were nearly drunk enough.
Fantastic. Check out the new SYD channel!

Kaiguys Shuzo The Return
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.08 – 02:08 -We made another 海外ズ (Kaiguys) video:
It isn’t getting nearly as many views as the last one (it’s at something like 1% of the old one), but there is already a MAD someone made:
I love it. Even if our videos got no views, enriching the MAD world makes me happy.
In other news, みすとん made a 海外ズ community!

Kaiguys Shuzo Remix
Written by Jeshii on 2009.11.13 – 03:35 -
YES! The Shuzo video that R and I made got remixed!!! And it is a Skyhigh MAD!!! I’m very happy with the way this turned out. Thank you anonymous Nico user mistone!
One interesting this is that originally the title had the word 外人 (gaijin) in the title, and it was later changed to 外国人 (gaikokujin). There is a huge debate over whether or not 外人 is a derogatory term or not, but for now, at least the non-controversial version was used.
佐々Ｂ さん also made a nice comparison video. Also, kyoheiokimuraさん made another MAD! See them after the jump.

The New NicoNicoDouga
Written by Jeshii on 2009.10.29 – 23:28 -NicoNicoDouga(9) is here. And it is fabulous.
My number one favorite change? The ability to embed videos on any blog. Yes, Yamatologic will now have the NicoVideos embedded right here; no account needed. The draw backs are that the ads are annoying, and you can’t comment, so you know you want to experience the joy of the site first hand.
There is now a menu that you can bring up that give you access to things like もう一度再生 (“Play Again”), この人の他の動画 (“other videos by this person”) or ブログに貼付 (“post to blog”). These are handy dandy. The other ones are less useful to me personally, so I’m going to skip them for now.
The マイページ (“My Page”) has some neat new features. The most notable is the ニコレポ (“NicoReport”). It is essentially a NicoDou twitter feed. However, in keeping with the anonymity of the site, you don’t get to say anything in it, it just registers when you マイリスト (“my list”) a video or one of your videos goes up in the rankings; just little stats really. You can then register other people in your watchlist so that their accomplishments and actions are listed in your report. That plus community postings makes for an active report list!
Speaking of マイリスト, they now have an extra とりあえずマイリスト (Toriaezu Mairisuto) that is just an extra my list that never gets full, just kicks out old videos if there are too many, first in, first out style. I love it since that it essentially what I used one of my lists for anyway! It’s like a temporary queue, so then you can save the ones you really like later in your normal my lists.
The last major change is the ranking page. It’s no longer one long list of the top 100, now it is a crazy grid of the top 20 videos for various categories. It’s information overload, but I think I like it.
So those are the major changes I can think of. If you have questions, bring them to the NicoNicoDouga Help page, and let’s get some walkthroughs of what you want to do made!

Cute Touhou Animated Gifs
Written by Jeshii on 2009.09.01 – 23:39 -
ニコニコ左上のGIFアニメを東方キャラで再現してみたらこうなった
If you have ever spent any amount of time on ニコニコ動画 (NicoNicoDouga), you’ve bound to have seen the silly little animated gifs in the upper left hand corner.
This is a great little video featuring some of those redone with 東方 (Touhou) characters. Expect to see these avatars around the ‘tubes soon. The チルノ (Cirno) is my favorite. エンドレス⑨ｗｗｗ
