I'm a girl actually. But yes, glad you agree!

Lol... Vocamerica... Ok, my major issue with them isn't limited to the awkward QUALITY mmd dances. I'm not happy with the way it's run in that the lineups has utau in it AND one of those positions was purchased. Viki Hopper, was a pay to be featured utau. Paid 2000 usd to get the feature spot in Vocamerica. It's supposed to be a western vocaloid promotion concert, but the lineup isn't even western Vocaloid. I won't donate or see the concerts, because of all those aforementioned reasons plus the fact that it also features utaus / people's rando ocs. I don't really care how Aki spends the money, but I don't like the decisions that went into it. It made it seem like a exclusive club for OCs by her friends fueled by mostly donations, but still tagged as Western Vocaloid promotion.

On a separate topic, Maple Story 2's beta will be released tomorrow. Nolstalgia for the old maple makes it tempting for me to play. Anyone else interested? Well the issue with Vocamerica is basically what we were promised and what we got could be considered disappointing. The issue with the UTAUs is they promoted themselves as a "Vocaloid" concert group and UTAU isn't Vocaloid. I'm not really bothered with the quality of the dances as you can not ask for HQ dances from an amateur group....

@CCyclone I know its a joke, but the point of a joke is to be funny and the joke is so old it makes "Arrow to the Knee" look new as a meme. I prefer more original jokes. Saying that, bare in mind I used to do the same thing as a teen on the net in the early 2000s, the problem with that though is I've then had 18 years or less of seeing other people do the same joke I did when I was young. It was not funny when I did it so... Yeah... That's my issue with it.

As I keep reminding people, I'm 34 (its my birthday today so I'm not 33 anymore), Ioften say this because I'm aware of how touchy people can be if your an adult around teens on the net (don't ask). I've basically been there, done that and got the T-Shirt so to speak. so I don't have the same idea of fun anymore. ITs something I just have had to accept myself. I used to be able to drop into forums and join in with fun, but... Now I just find myself being far too serious because every topic of discussion I've discussed to death in some way. GM crops, religion, evolution, whose the cutest X character...

I sort of managed to reach 2009 and then I just got fed up with it. Mostly the death of my view of the net came with Dragon Cave's infamous Thrilled Dragons incident, which basically was the nail in the coffin. I respected the artist of the Dragon Cave sprite and it turns out she was a bitch and Dragon Cave was a click. ITs also why I then got fed up with the VO elite click in the 2010s onwards...Basically, I've long come to the conclusion the nets "fun" is short lived and people come and go so you can never form friendships or get to know people like in real life. The moment you do, they disappear. Basically... I've said it when I joined this wiki in 2010, the vocaloid fandom is my last fandom.

The BF thing is not happening yet, he is planning it but he is held back for a while because his mother is getting in the way. (don't ask that's a story in itself). But I'm glad we're at this stage. ^_^

@Arrow+Pen, CFM sells things almost at their original price, they don't tend to drop them. Hence why the V1's were so expensive. The cheapest vocaloids ever sold were the V1 trio before they retired BTW. I was looking at some old e-mails and before they went mail order only, their price was $20. Not bad, if we're really talking price of vocaloids, technically though VOCALOID first as a free app gives you VY1 for nothing in a basic form.

Sweet Ann is also in the MQ range with Tonio, so is not a bad purchase. MQ is still better then LQ, and considering Gumi and Gackpo are in the LQ range of V1 because of some technical annoyances in them, being MQ isn't a bad thing at all. There are a lot of MQ Japanese vocaloids.
