I forgot to mention that I want you guys to be in the last boxes. So who wants to be in? First come, first serve. :D

I hadn't worked Daniella into it yet in the game she wanted to be in and I thought I could fit it in to the glitch part - I don't really know. Daniella? .-.

EDIT:


>First image which I have to do last<

One day, through the overwhelming forces of games worldwide breaking the fourth wall, the power to traverse from inside the console to reality was discovered, and fictional characters were finally given the opportunity to interact with the people who have manipulated them for decades.
Their first destination was the innocent town of AREA DISCLOSED.

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/Box1V2nay_zpsa14d7a51.png)

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/box3V2eli_zps1755e0dc.png)

The civilians of the town were quietly avoiding human conversation, tucked away in dark rooms before brightly lit screens slowly damaging their eyes, when all of a sudden…

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/Box4Nay_zps50d10642.png)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/Box5V2Lil_zpsa296f6d1.png)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/Box6V2Eli_zps386f06bd.png)

The humans were astonished! Jumping out of the screens right before them were real-life video game characters. Before long, the virtual world begun to merge with Earth, and as the days continued, things grew more and more curious.

The discrepancy between video games and reality faded further as the two continued to intermingle. Were they living their life, or a video game?

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/box13v2nay_zps5cd76123.png)

However, come with the consequences of living the lifestyle of the virtual world was the eminent battle between the forces of good and bad. While some enemies were considered no threat, some were truly the embodiment of pure antagonism.

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/box19_zps6170931b.png)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/box20_zps6c839c69.png)

Despite this, there was always a hero to rely on.

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/box21_zpsfe08a5fa.png)

The nights grew large and confusing as the time zones between games overlapped and there was an ever unpleasant abundance of glitches littering the streets.

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Art%20Assignment/box18v2_zps1651b151-1.png)

The people were incapable of coping with this stress, and along with the many other ordeals that video games bought, like nagging parents and letters from school, they realised that despite their love of video, it was impossible to live like this. Thus, farewells were made and video games were sent back to where they belonged; the virtual world. People returned to the ordinary lives, staring at flickering screens for hours on end, spending their sparing minutes on that essay due the next day, and lived in peace.

And more to come. :0

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Yeah, sure. Though I haven't been around very much lately.

[Mizukithepanda]

Well, I'm already in it, so I'll let someone else get in on it. If Fallout is too difficult to reference, perhaps Bully would work? I seem to remember her liking that game a lot.

[Charmy]

Why does no one want to be in my thingy? >:0

[Daniella]

I usually ignore glitches when they happen, so I can't really think of any. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-kraken.gif)

For Fallout, all I can think of is where people show up as just a pile of floating guts and two eyeballs, though I've never had that happen and I'm sure you don't wanna put that.

For Bully, I know there's a glitch where you can stuff multiple people into the same locker. Also the go-kart's so fast, when you run people over, they just kind of deflect off of it or get thrown up in the air.

[Charmy]

THREE MORE BOXES. o-o

Okay, I don't know who to put in the last ones! D:
I need a Harvest Moon farmer, one or two Pokemon people, and about four JRPG fans.

EDIT: Totally skipped over Darth, sorry. I'm sure you like all three of these, so, I'll wait and see. X]

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

I do indeed! Not sure what all you'd need to know for any of those (or if you just free-style it since you're familiar with all of them) since I haven't been around much to see this thing start out but if anything's needed on my end feel free to ask.

[Daniella]

Darth rolling in gold from the billion dollar glitch (poor neglected cows) or side-stepping messed up pixels, like I hear HMDS has. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-kraken.gif)

Ya gotta have some with more guys in it

[Charmy]

I messed up. /A\
I don't really care though, I just wanna finish it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I know, there's like, two. It's just coincidental that most of my friends are girls.

[Charmy]

Darth makes facial hair on Jack look smashing.

EDIT:

BUBUBUBAAAA

[Baby]

(IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1233596_10151545071751086_460952302_n.jpg)

August:
My second tattoo was done, adding 'Baker Street' to my '221B' and a Tardis
(IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/993364_10151517014101086_1464908802_n.jpg)
This is my newest prize possession-- A Loki 'Hottoys' doll... so expensive.
(IMG:https://scontent-a-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1098422_10151517014436086_282716348_n.jpg)
Sherlock Cosplay. Never doing that again-- it's three layers of hot disgusting...
(IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1001401_10151518854951086_299449231_n.jpg)

September:
Rest in Peace my little man. When I find who poisoned you, I'll make it right.
(IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1044471_10151451875841086_1645999340_n.jpg)

October:
Charlize had her litter. OF TEN. It's very unusual for a purebred bullmastiff but it was beautiful. I helped her through the whole pregnancy.
(IMG:https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/1380188_10151658356896086_833067944_n.jpg)

This is my little guy. I pulled him from her and resuscitated him as he was unbreathing and the mother abandoned him for dead.
(IMG:https://scontent-b-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1469805_10151690657996086_525138618_n.jpg)

One week later in November, came my dog Gypsy's puppies. We weren't even aware she was pregnant until the day before. She was always skinny and she is only 7 or 8 months old, but she had 6 beautiful babies.
(IMG:https://scontent-a-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1424567_10151680473486086_1945770566_n.jpg)


And that's my life up to now... since I dunno. Whenever.

[Charmy]

You know when people take pictures of the sidewalk and show everyone?

WHAPAM.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1385969545229_zps9737d0d1.jpg)

A lot of buildings are fairly modern/new. I haven't seen many traditional-styled ones around here. City and all.
EVERYONE lives in apartments.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1385969589288_zps988bb1b3.jpg)

My host mother vacated her room for me. She's so nice. ^^
SHe also fixed up the clogged up toilet last night for me. Ahhhh. T____T
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1385984218203_zps30919f12.jpg)

The first night when I watched Totoro. I didn't get to finish it because I was very tired.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1385984233979_zpsa4478010.jpg)

She wrote a note saying the room's probably smaller than I expected, but I knew Japanese homes were generally smaller. I though their apartment could have been much smaller, it's really not bad.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1385984239952_zps9405db19.jpg)

This view goes on for ages. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

They can pause and rewind and fastforward and everything else on their TV. She put on Ponyo. The only thing - no English subtitles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
I'd already seen it before so I just watched it until we had to go somewhere.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386030965963_zps40eb4085.jpg)

Their house is so clean. My host grandmother just cleaned it up then. T_T
We have dog fur. Everywhere.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386030972994_zps0c0dd3e2.jpg)

"Downtown" The roads a so narrow and everyone's so patient you can dazily walk on the road. I look around everywhere to check for cars and no one else seems to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386036343851_zpsd76feab2.jpg)

LOOK AT THESE SIDEWALKS.

UDON.

I didn't even eat half. The bowl was huge.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386043011160_zps0d26a681.jpg)

The shop. Apparently there's usually a line extending outside. ^^;
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386044588010_zps7c9a8e45.jpg)

Masaya, my grandmother's daughter's eldest son. His English is AWESOME. And his friend Sho, who speaks some English.

WHY IS EVERYTHING CUTE IN JAPAN. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Lions Dinner party I went to. I bought a blouse and nice shoes for these events but I didn't know THIS was the big formal event we were going to. I changed into a sweater shirt and rocked up in my uggies because my host mother said it was okay. She doesn't know I have more formal clothes. I'll bring them out next time. XDDD
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386068374891_zps7d0d736f.jpg)

There were like, seven courses of food. I got so full.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386069275793_zpsed2d0de9.jpg)

Pretty singer on the night. We did the link hands song. I don't know, it was weird. I don't have any pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/1386069346548_zpsf307ceeb.jpg)

THE VIDEO GAME STORE LIKE, FIVE STEPS AWAY FROM THE APARTMENT. Is awesome. I love it there.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00081_zpsbb2af938.jpg)

The games and consoles are cheaper than what they are in Australia. Selling these for about $170.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00082_zps99103ae7.jpg)

Australia, 200+, here around $160.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00084_zps28ad3777.jpg)

They sell cards too. There's a card playing section in one corner of the store. I also saw a Harvest Moon guidebook here. X]
I'm going to go again another time. One game I saw I good buy was Mario Kart for DS - not much text, no region lock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00085_zps623a753d.jpg)

WAHOO.

YOU CAN'T BREATHE IN KIMONOS. THEY'RE LIKE CORSETS.
You also have to take a thousand tiny little steps to get anywhere.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00091_zps220a3ab2.jpg)

I had to brush my hair out of my face. I look like a boy. T__T
The kimono was too big for me too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00094_zps0a596504.jpg)
My host grandmother's daughter Akiko. She's cool. ^^
She plays Totoro soundtrack while I'm in the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
I need to learn the lyrics so I can sing with her.

Today, Ghibli museum and a shrine. I'll bring my camera this time instead of using my phone. Anyway, got to shower. バイバイ！

I think that's Yakuza 5 though. Also known as Ryū ga Gotoku/龍が如く. That particular game doesn't look like it's coming out here and it makes me sad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasad.gif)

Yeah, that's the only thing I can comment on with certainty since I know so little about Japan. Looks like a really fun time you're having though!

[Charmy]

If only region lock. T__T

Oh god. Now that I'm in Japan Photobucket's playing Japanese commercials. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Kawabata shop street.
I carry so much def gaijin.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/IMG_1389_zps0b042395.jpg)
Seriously, over about the past five days I've only seen two foreigners who aren't of Asian descent.

I forget the name of the shrine.
Jinja photos. ^^
It was pretty.

This is where you wash your hands and such with a ladle and water, to purify yourself. I watched videos previously on how to do it, but Akiko only washed her hands and didn't put any water in her mouth. I guess it's not as strict as I thought.

Behind the bells was realllly pretty, but it was blocked off.
Umm..... You chuck a coin in, ring the bell, bow, and clap twice, and bow again I think.

Went to a symphony concert with Keiko. It was very good. The Japaneseness of it made it cute. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/IMG_1434_zpsd9f37d75.jpg)
Keiko said no camera allowed and said I could only take one picture.
My favourite song they did was Lion King medley. The conductor might as well have been dancing with the way he was jumping around. At the end, he bent under his stand and pulled out a small toy and held it to the lights like they hold Simba. I just cracked up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I EAT SO MUCH I SICK.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/IMG_1436_zpsc12d1924.jpg)
Honestly, I am sick. I nearly threw up after eating this delicious manjayaki/okonomiyaki. :(
They've been feeding me way too much. Tomorrow I'm telling Masaya I need smaller amounts and more fruit.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/IMG_1437_zpsae3cba61.jpg)
Waiters wore Christmas suits. ^^

And my mistake, Ghibli exhibition, not museum.
It was so cool. :D
Akiko and I saw all the layouts for the movies. The Spirited Away section's walls were entirely covered, and I saw layouts for Ghibli movies I'd never even heard of before. Right now, I'm about to watch Ponpoko then go to bed. Photos weren't allowed in the museum, sorry. :(
BUT COOLEST GHIBLI GIFTSHOP EVAR AHMYGAHD I WANNA GO AGAIN SO COOOOOOL. They had this awesome statue of the big monster thing from Mononoke but it was like over $100 so I decided to avoid it. >__<
These are some of the things I got. I am going to go again sometime. I spent around $50 there.

Hello Kitty ram was from my jiji, not the shop. ^^

I like Jiji. :)
They sold the movies there too buuuuuuuuut I don't know. I didn't see a price listed anywhere and not all of them had English subtitles.

Of all those fortunes on the strings, I could only see one that wasn't red, and theirs was green Chinese. Unless all the tourists know Japanese?

Actually, that one place was a fashion-restaurant.

What's this about?

And pretty chandeliers.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Pretty shrine is pretty.

I don't know why it was there but it was cool.

I slept in today from being sick yesterday. I ate too much again too. :(
I watched From up on Po- HAHA. I nearly wrote poopy. From up on Poo- I DID IT AGAIN. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) From up on Poppy Hill today, felt sooky from lack of English and hopped on Gaia for a few minutes then waited to go to Hakata-mae. This is the place that pops up when you look up Fukuoka. It's huuuuuuuuuuuuuge. After shopping, I went to another dinner party which I failed to acknowledge again was the time that I should have worn my formal shoes. Ugh. I'm going to wear them sometime formal or not after all that effort put into finding a pair that fits me. I only bought clothes here. I took like, an hour to scour through less than half the shops. Blue scarf (TAKE THAT SCHOOL), shorts and a shirt. I had to go to the party and kept on getting distracted by nice things along the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I was confused as to why there was a bunch of electronics under the water, but it was for the fountain show which I got to see a part of. They played it to Pirates of the Caribbean. I have two videos of it...no Youtube.....I don't know. The water shot to practically the top of the building. :0

This is one side. The shopping side. I only covered the first floor and a few of the second. D:

Some of the stores were bigger than a house. D:

They had cute clothes but 'spensive.

We did bingo at the dinner party and I got wine.

I don't like alcohol so I gave it away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

People are giving me gifts and I don't have my little Australian things with me. /oAo\
I wrote down their names to remember for next time.

I don't even know what this was.

Ah, and the shrine I went to was kushida shrine. ^^



I want to rent more anime. B[

It looks like you're having a ton of fun. :D

I would also just like to point out that the only systems out with region lock currently are the Wii, the Wii U, and the 3DS. Everything else is region-free, so that Yakuza 5 limited edition PS3 could play any game you wanted it to play, no matter where you bought it.
