Even though I’m sure the previous drafts of the strips weren’t the crap you believed them to be, you were right to start over. The new strips turned out really well, Fred. Excellent job. ^.^b

Microsoft hasn’t released any new proprietary software for the Mac in a loooong time (I’m not counting games, obviously), and I’m pretty sure it’s on purpose. I find this especially frustrating with MSNM when my brother, who’s in Japan atm, wants to spend some time playing MSN games with me and can’t because my client’s too farking old and thus incompatible. Rage.

Quick review of Tsukuyomi Moon Phase OST (The Best Collection):
I’d give it about a 75% decent tunery. I particularly liked the moody cello, mandolin, and harpsichord pieces, there were a couple of vocal tunes that have a nice Keltic mourning to them. There are several tunes with a vocal I’ll describe as frenetic Balkan - almost Arabic, a bit harder to listen to but okay in context with the other tunes. A few other tunes are Gothy breathless vocals - I liked them.
A few tunes are just goofy silly - a rendition of the old “soft shoe” song and some happy goofy things that sounded jpop elevatorish or Intermission Proceed To Concession Stand. I’m not fond of those.

And of course, the opening whacko tune: Neko Mimi Mode — you can’t tear yourself away and it destroys your insulin factories.

Bonus on the disk are a collection of six second vocals of Hazuki saying “Hazuki things” …. this has “replace the sounds on your computer” written all over it. Mind-draining cuteness.

The CD materials come with a paper doll cutout set that insane people might play “dress Hazuki” with… wierd. They’ve also drawn her younger than she appears in the series (where she has a real figure though very petite).

Hazuki’s age is never given that I’ve seen… so I just keep telling myself she’s 14-16. As high pitched as Hazuki’s voice is, its about the same pitch as my wife’s voice and they’re about the same size, shape, and hairstyle (she’s 4′11″). Naturally I’m attracted

VLC will play most things you want to play on the Mac, but it won’t play the newer WMV stuff. You need Windows Media Player to play those files.

It seems that Microsoft is always one release behind (compatibility-wise) with their Mac player. WMP9 file support probably won’t be added until WMP10 (or whatever they call the next one) is the suggested codec on the Windows version.
