General Questions/Studio Blue Hell Questions

Q: What do you use to make this site?
A:
You mean besides caffiene? Well, I use Dreamweaver Ultra Rev 4 for the coding (lazy arse I am, yes), sometimes Cute HTML if I don't feel like getting crashed every two seconds. For the artsy-fartsy crap, I use Photoshop 5.0 LE and Paint Shop Pro 6. FTPing the stuff, I use CuteFTP. Since I only use Internet Explorer for browsing, I don't know how this looks in Netscape or any other browser, so if it comes out wonky, just remember, this site is too good for your lame browser ^_^. If it is viewable in anything else, good for you.

Q: Can I "borrow" some of these images?
A:
Please ask first, sir/m'amm, unless it's one of my banners for giving me a link on your site. Failing to ask otherwise will result in missing limbs and/or genitalia.

Q: How often do you update?
A:
When I damn well feel like it, pretty much. I do have my life, but, I try to update as often as possible. I'd check back here ever week or so.

Q: Do you do any commisions for artwork?
A:
Well, it depends. I'll even work for free on certain things, but for the most part, just really really cheap. Dirt cheap in fact. You best give me an e-mail if you want to know details.

Q: Is this your first site?
A:
Yes and no. The original Ichiban Crush no Blue Hell was founded in May of 2000 and was hosted by Anime Network, a division of eFronts. Well, eFronts was, from what I could gather, a sham company and it all fell apart. Anime Network died in March of 2001. And so did the hardly updated site. I could not retrieve/archive anything back from the old site; everything you see here is new (or in some cases, recreated or redownloaded and uploaded). Another reason for the death of the original Blue Hell was a lack of Internet Access at my home in Georgia; the only update from Georgia was the "lost" update- the AWA 6 photo gallery. I say lost because I never even had a chance to announce it on the main page; only those who got the link from various message boards got to see it. Also, the old site had different sections that this one will NOT be bringing back, namely the infamous "Taitsukun's Asskicking List". NO WAY is that going to be brought back so don't bother asking.

Q: I am offended by something you said and I demand you take it back right now!!!
A:
Sorry fanboy, I take NOTHING I say on this site back. What you gonna do, huh? SIT ON ME? If you don't LIKE it when I say Kefka is the video game equivelent to Hitler, or that Gainax are a bunch of overrated cheapscapes, go to another site or suffer through it because e-mailing me with your whiny otaku complaints is going to get you on as another stupid e-mail in the Random Shiznit section faster than you can say "Quatre Is Gay".

And he is gay. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Q: Dude, your site sucks ass.
A:
You know, a lot of things in life do suck. Take your mother for instance. This I know from my experience last night. Oh yeah, and tell your girlfriend thanks, she just happens to suck too (assuming you have one fanboy).

Q: Can you explain the Pirates Of Blue Hell thing to me? I like the site and wouldn't mind contributing something.
A:
Well THAT'S a big change from telling me my site sucks ass! Okay, questions about contribution are answered in the Pirates of Blue Hell Section.

Q: Can you give me a link to my page/domain in the links section?
A:
I only give links on these occasions:
1. You know me and you don't piss me off! Trust me, you probably already know who you are, you'll get an e-mail from me or I'll let you know the next time I see you. Your link would be under the Friends Of F section.
2. I don't really give a rat's ass about you personally, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like your site.
And when I mean "Like", I mean, don't shamelessly advertise it to me on a daily basis. Getting just one suck-up e-mail from you telling me about your site and how I should like it and link it up to my page is enough for me to hate you for all eternity and wish a horrible and painful death upon you and your children, and possible even worse. Chances are, if you get this link, you probably wouldn't even care. The link you would get would obviously be under the People Crush-sama couldn't give a rip about but likes their sites so here they are... section.
3. You are a Pirate of Blue Hell: Also provided that you have already linked Ichiban Crush no Blue Hell to your site (banner or no, but I do prefer you to use the banners), and your site doesn't want to make me totally regurgitate my daily diet of Jolt Cola and Mu Shu Beef. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece. Hell, it could be a Homefronts page for all I care, but as long as it's not Goatse.cx bad, and it IS under the lines of Retrogaming (below 32-bit and but above 8-bit please), Cosplay or Anime/Manga (this CAN vary). Your link would be provided under the Cap'n Crush's Fellow Rouges section.

Cosplay questions:

Q: So, like, do you make your own costumes?
A:
Well, actually, it's me and my mother. For some reason, my mom loves Cosplay projects. She practically begs to help. "Gee mom, I don't know, whitewashing that fence is pretty goddamned special you know..." ^_^;; my mom kicks ass yo. Also, I do get help from various experts. I'll be honest with ya', I'm not in the least sense a professional.

Q: Have you won any awards?
A:
Nope. Do I care? Nope. It's all about ta' funs baby!

Q: Will you make a ___________ costume for me? I'll pay you ta monnies!
A:
I don't have any right doing commisions; my skills are not mad enough to make you pay me for a crap costume. That and I have a busy schedule of my own.

Q: What cosplay will you be doing next?
A:
NO COMMENT. Sorry, I only show my newest costume two nights PRIOR to the con I debut them, if not later or after the con.

Q: "Tamahome!/Guy who is always Tamahome at every con!! Will you marry me?"
A:
^_^;; how 'bout you just glomp me instead, mmkay? Unless you're Watase-sensei herself (I would assume TRUE hell has the biggest ski season EVER if that were to ever happen), then yeah, sure, happily!

VG Abyss Questions

Q: Will you review [insert PS2 or X-Box game here]?
A:
NO. VG Abyss is dedicated to only retro video games that happen to fall under the Anime genre or are just very good and need recognition. Also, I do cover cheesed pirate-only titles of yesteryear.

Q: So what's retro in your eyes?
A:
Right now, 16-bits and below. I may decide to cover some Saturn stuff someday, but it won't be any time soon.

Q: Will you review Target Renegade for NES? It's a really good RETRO game, Mr. Oldschool!
A:
First of all, that's a horrible game. I honestly didn't think it could get more worse with the FIRST Renegade title, but that's just SHAMELESSLY bad. Second, unlike the first Renegade, that title was American developed. Since this IS an anime site, I feel that the random games should at LEAST be Japanese originated titles.

Q: Fine, what about Brain Lord for SNES?
A:
Get off my site...NOW!

Q: Okay, OKAY! I'm sorry, but can I request ANYTHING for a review?
A:
Not likely. I will say I do welcome suggestions, and may or may not take them; it all depends if I've ever played or heard of the game or not.

Q: Well I'd like to see the game mentioned SOMEWHERE on your page. It IS a Japanese-originated title and it IS based on an Anime and/or REALLY wicked sweet!
A:
Okay then, why don't you direct yourself to the Pirates Of Blue Hell section and look under the VG Abyss section there? There's even a list of stuff I wish I could do myself, but can't at the moment that maybe YOU can do. All your questions can be answered there.

Random Shiznit

Q: WTF?
A:
Bingo! Everything there is completely random, or if it doesn't belong in the other sections, it goes there. Also, it's sort of my experiment section; new sections COULD spin off from this area, so I would stay tuned to it if I wanted to be the first to catch on to the latest Ichiban Crush groove.
