Takuya Kawashima -- Post 6 Guy
[While I was shopping for new ears and a tail at Hybrid more than one year ago, I ran into a noob who seemed pretty lost. He asked me a thousand questions about SL in general and the habit of people wearing cat parts in particular. I took him on an excessive shopping tour and as soon as he looked like a handsome Neko, my SL sister came along and snatched him away. Takuya Kawashima quickly turned into a mean sword fighter in Samurai Edo, a good scripter and the best friend and virtual brother-in-law I can imagine. – Bunny Brickworks]
Do I hear a weeaboo? OK, shove it right where the sun doesn't shine as I was born and raised in Japan. Do I hear 'he is gay'? You can shove it there either though it is perfectly true in RL. And if you can't handle it, I seriously pity you on your narrow-minded and one-dimensional upbringing. So much about my RL.
When I came to SL in summer 2007 I didn't expect much. Second Life was being hyped by the media as a virtual world of unlimited possibilities and I was simply curious about what this world might have to offer. My first impression was … not much to offer - bad graphics, lag and other avatars that asked me where they could make money. WTF? Make money? I thought we all joined to escape real life and the need to get on the treadmill day by day. SL didn't seem very attractive to me until I met some people.
These people were awesome. They shared not only their knowledge and experience with me but also their home, took me shopping and exploring, showed me beautiful builds and I was soon addicted.
I was taken to Samurai Edo, bought a CSI-compatible sword and started practicing. It was fun! And as I didn't want to have my butt kicked by two little girls with kitty tails, I spent more and more time online, improving my skills, working on speed and timing. I soon realized that the heavily scripted swords didn't contribute to my improvement efforts. A friend of mine, who is good at torturing tiny prims, built the perfect sword and I wrote a low-lag but nonetheless CSI-compatible script for it. We don't sell the swords but love to give them away to good friends. I still don't understand why people want to make their living with SL profits.
Scripting is pure Zen for me. I love to see how simple codes suddenly do magic when dropped into an object. I am the workhorse for GaZoV DeSiGnS, an accessories store owned by my SL partner Greta. The scripts she needs are pretty basic – something that can easily be done during a lunch break at work.
Yes, I am partnered to a woman in SL. Oh my god! And yes, we are one of those weird couples who don't have any plans to meet in RL and have babies and a bungalow with a little white fence around it. We don't voice or skype (we once did, so I know she's a girl!), we don't jump on sex poseballs or swear each other eternal love and devotion. In SL she means the world to me. She is my confidant and battle partner and I appreciate the weird family she spawned! But we don't have any plans or dreams to take it to RL, as we are both perfectly happy there. Does that sound strange to you? Well, it is surely not stranger than teleporting or flying.
As I already mentioned, my partner spawned a whole family. There are three sisters and two brothers who make up the Kawashima clan. We are not one of those creepy 'hurt my sissy and I'll hurt you' families. Every single member of the clan is heavily armed and combat-proven and more than well equipped with a loud mouth. Due to frequent moving and a busy and unusual work schedule, it is hard to keep up friendships in real life. So it is good to know that whenever you log on, there's always someone who listens or lets you vent – hooray for three different time zones the clan members are in.
That's all about me. I guess I am the ordinary Neko samurai emo boy who enjoys being with friends and using the few skills I have to make SL a better place for me and the ones close to me. Despite all the issues with lag, badly behaving asset servers and a lousy customer service, I am more than grateful to Linden Lab for creating this place and giving me the chance to meet some awesome people from all over the world whom I would have probably never met in real life.
What a *barking annoyance* this ass is. I love the hypocrisy -- his SL partner gets to have a store and make money, where he works for free, but the rest of us are hectored and bullied by his fake altruism and told we are wrong to try to make SL profits. PERFECT example of the FIC "no business but my business" ethic that cripples commerce for other people by demanding voluntarism and freebies, but makes exceptions for themselves and their close personal friends.
And in the end -- the Herald shows no dick for this guy. Does that speak volumes, or what?
Nobody is living in a little bungalow with a little white fence, asswipe. Take your hatred elsewhere. Also, please do tell us about 10 more times that you are a) gay but b) you have an SL girlfriend, so that we might believe you better.

Why don't you tell us what you *really* think, Prok?
Posted by: Surreality | October 14, 2008 at 11:18 AM

Posted by: Jumpman Lane | October 14, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Wow, my boyfriend must be something special that the asswipe himself, Lord Voldeprok, comments his article. Hey Prok, did you want to see a dick cause you have none yourself? That's the only explanation I have for your outburst. Or maybe Tak hit a nerve by his little 'we don't go RL' comment as a miserable toad like you still dreams of finding the perfect partner in SL that you obviously miss in RL due to your lack of social skills ... Anyways, I'm happy to see my baby's sexy butt here. I so SL love you!!!
Posted by: Greta Gazov | October 14, 2008 at 12:53 PM
yes prok tell us more about the FIC
Posted by: mootykips | October 14, 2008 at 01:31 PM
Tak, very nice to get to know you better. Be whoever you want to be. Don't you dare let the hypocrites get you down.
You know, the intarwebs is such serious business. *rolls eyes*

Just a question because I'm curious: Why not hide the human ears with hair? Are the cat ears just "decoration", like a hat? I didn't know nekos were known as "fourears". SL offer a vide variety of hair, many hairstyles that hide human ears. The ears can also be made smaller if you have a shape you can modify. Personally, I notice such details.
Not so bad body, the neck look a bit long but it can be the poses. I like the "lean" look.

I am NOT a hypocrite! The post turd 6 remains unflushed! He is stinkin up the place! PROKOFY IS RIGHT! I am gonna start that campaign in Second Life! And I mean that!

I stopped reading after "born and raised in Japan."
Born and raised...
On the playground was where you spent most of your days?

Interesting how the language gets more forecful, insulting and less indirect when we have a male model is it not?

As if women are treated with kid gloves?
SHOCK HORROR!

Does anyone have the slightest idea what this Jumpman clown is talking about?
Posted by: Surreality | October 15, 2008 at 10:20 PM
@ Prok : lol
Can somebody please tell the "ordinary Neko samurai emo boy " (aka:ass) how to detach objects from his closeted-gay avatar? His avatar is posing in water with glasses on?

@mootykips: A "super long well-formed essay... with no grammar mistakes"? Are you sure you mean "essay" and not "sentence"? I thought one of Jumpy's goals in life was to create a single sentence that not only made sense but didn't make his spell-checker crash!
@Surreality: I think Jumpy is like a man on Viagra - he only comes here when he's taking drugs and has a hard on for something ;)
Posted by: Sigmund Leominster | October 16, 2008 at 10:15 PM
No, I mean essay. He wrote an entire article in understandable English, iirc, about some stupid e-drama crap, then in the comments of THAT VERY ARTICLE he reverted back to hurfdurf-ese.
I might be wrong, but it only really stands out in my memory because I was in shock that he could write anything that good.
Posted by: mootykips | October 17, 2008 at 01:11 AM
LOL.
This comments section is pure gold. I feel like Intlibber at an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet.
5 Stars *****
Would see again!
A star-studded cast of SL's biggest losers!
Sure to be a virtual box office smash!

Wow, contradict much? I'm sorry, even though I'm gay I feel exactly as Prokofy does, and that's rare for me. So without further adue, you're a weeaboo faggot emo neko.

@sureality hey chump try fallin dead. then the pain will stop :P
Posted by: Jumpman Lane | October 18, 2008 at 10:44 AM
For a gay man, he's really not put a lot of effort into his shape. Normally, we have the best eye for men's bodies.
Meh. Not post six worthy. I've done sexier.

@chumpman -- try taking the dick out of your mouth. then maybe people could understand what you say.
