Well, while I’m waiting for the newest in the line of ニコニコ動画 (NicoNicoDouga) master medleys (the most recent being ニコニコ動画流星群), I found this medley of songs done to iDOLM@STER clips. I like some of the songs in it (カプチーノ is the best by far), but what really got me about it was the editing. The videos for all these songs are amazing. If the game is like that, then I guess I should be looking for into it, but I have a feeling this is the skill of the editor. Anyone know for sure?

YouTube links after the jump for the ニコ動画 impaired.

If you are planning to visit Japan, I highly recommend autumn, especially if you are a nature person. The weather is no longer blistering hot and the rainy season is over, so you can go outside and do some excellent hiking.

Go check out goo for the 紅葉 guide and you can check how far along the leaves are near you. And, if you don’t live in Japan, we can always live vicariously through flickr.

]]> http://yamatologic.com/2008/10/16/its-kouyou-time/feed/ 0 NicoNicoDouga AKI!!! http://yamatologic.com/2008/10/02/niconicodouga-aki/ http://yamatologic.com/2008/10/02/niconicodouga-aki/#comments Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:00:02 +0000 Jeshii http://yamatologic.com/?p=143 So, NicoNicoDouga has had some interesting version names. There was β (beta),γ (gamma), RC, RC2, SP1, then they went with 夏 (natsu).

But then the season changed and now it is fall. So!

The new version of NicoNicoDouga is 秋 (aki)! Makes sense. After Summer comes Autumn. It’s simple. And the video introducing it was funny, saying 「文句あるか」 (monku aru ka, “Any complaints?!”) And, the 秋葉原 (Akihabara) tie-in potential can’t be ignored.

They were calling the next version… “Double Beta,” but no one really knew what that was supposed to mean. So they went with the natural next choice.

New features have been announced… many not yet implemented. Short explanation after the jump.

  • NicoNico Points- Points you can use around the site, starting 10/15. I assume you have to buy these?
  • NicoNico Medal Game (tentative name) – Playing pachinko while watching nicovideos? They are going for major だめ人間 points on this one!
  • User NicoWari – Now you can set NicoWari’s (like the time report) in your videos?!
  • NMM Version Upgrade – An upgrade of the NicoNico Movie Maker. Very exciting, especially since the old one was so lame but had so much potential.
  • Page Changes – The design has changed here and there.
  • NicoNico Commons new features
  • New fashion collaboration with Suicommi Underground
  • NicoAnime over the broadcast channels?!

What does double beta mean?! Who knows! Who cares! Anyway, I’m sure I’ll be writing more about these features as I figure them out. XD

I do miss the messages that used to be in the upper right hand corner though… ;.;
