近期關注的冷門漫畫20120529

近期漫畫良作不少
其中比較知名的如四葉妹妹 - Azuma kyohiko
銀之匙 - 荒川弘   憂國的拉普斯金 - 伊藤潤二等
在這邊介紹幾個比較冷門的漫畫

1. 羔羊的異色寓言 - 梅澤俊  東販出版




這本對大多數的人來講
閱讀以後應該只會感到莫名其妙吧
跟淺野120的鬱悶系不同
這裡比較偏向於描述
人生於世抑鬱與社會化之後
造成的一些反差與效應
以下簡單引用一些漫畫內的文字

"可愛這個字,其實是從可憐衍生而來。
同情就是污辱。"

"錢~錢~錢~全是一些有錢才能解決的問題。
只要彩券中三億元便煙消雲散的人生目標......有如泡沫一般"

"一個人的慘叫聲、兩個人的飢餓,
或是焚燒十個人,這些都還能想像,
可是人數一旦過百,便無法保持清晰的想像力...
簡而言之,就是這麼回事。
放心吧,人類的想像力很貧乏,
你很快就會習慣的。"

這是本有些詭異的漫畫
但就是這樣
才更合本人的胃口

2. 致死之病 - 朝田光 / 瀬口たかひろ - 東立出版








說老實話,這本比上面那個更怪
不過算是個愛情故事就是
只是引用了很艱深的話題





先從標題下手
甚麼是致死之病
其實是引用丹麥哲學家

《致死的疾病》(丹麥語:Sygdommen til Døden;英文:The sickness unto death)是丹麥思想家、哲學家、神學家克爾凱郭爾(Kierkegaard)( 香港譯作: 祁克果 )(用假名安提-克里馬庫斯(Anti-Climacus)發表的思想著作,於一八四九年七月三十日在丹麥哥本哈根出版。書中所說的「致死的疾病」喻指絕望,這本書系統的討論了自我、實現自我和絕望、信仰之間的關係。這本書不僅對喚醒人的自我意識,啟發人認識自我、成為自我有著重要意義,也對後世的存在主義思想有著深遠影響。


以下是該書內容大意
具體來說:

  1. 如果自我缺少有限性,人就會活在抽象或者想像之中。
  2. 如果自我缺少無限性,人就會局限在世俗狹小的範圍內,不敢成為自己,只能通過模仿別人來生活。
  3. 如果自我缺少必然性,人就會在諸多可能性中感到迷茫,陷入虛無,沒有歸宿感。
  4. 如果自我缺少可能性,人就會失去自由,成為宿命論或決定論者。
自我意識與絕望緊密相連,從自我意識程度上說,絕望有三種可能的形式:
  1. 沒有意識到深層次自我的存在,否認有一個深層次的自我存在( being unconscious in despair of having a self )。這種絕望並不是真正意義上的絕望,也是最沒有希望的絕望。
  2. 意識到了深層次自我的存在,但不願意成為那個深層次的自我。
  3. 否定那個深層次的自我是上帝建立的,要成為自己建立的那個深層次的自我。
在書的開篇,作者就對「我」做了定義: "我是把自我聯繫到自我的關聯 ( The self is a relation relates itself to itself )"
這句話中的第一個「自我」是指現實的、直接的、表層的自我(first self),第二個「自我」指理想的、應該成為的、深層次的那個自我(deeper self)。這句話中的「我」也不是一個靜態的狀態,而是一個表層的自我成為深層的自我的動態過程。「我」不能正確地從表層的自我關聯到理想的自我,這就 是絕望。安提-克里馬庫斯認為那個深層次的自我是純精神性的,是有限性和無限性,可能性和必然性的辯證統一。缺少任何一個元素,都是絕望。




也因為這句話,這本漫畫也是針對著
我與自我來進行探討
"當我不是自我,自我也非我的的時候
就是真正的絕望"
與其說是愛情故事
真正吸引我的反而是裡面著墨有限的
對於絕望的陳述
他那絕望的本質
便是虛無 (nihility)


3. 朝子的默示錄 - 青山景 - 東販出版























青山景,一個已經自殺的漫畫家
(關於這個有興趣的人估狗都會有資料)
從以前本人就有在收集他的作品
內容其實都很有意思
看似混亂的鋪陳之中
混入了許多作者想要表達的元素


"這次的目的是把信徒作個分類篩選
這是為了製造目睹奇蹟發生的人,
與慢一步知道的人之間的高低差。
前者人數最好是越少越好。
對岸那些人有好奇心
也有行動力
只相信自己親眼所見的事物。
主觀看來,
這個行為似乎是為了追求合情合理,
但實際上只是讓他們容易受到煽動罷了。
我可以斷定,不管是多麼低劣的手法
只要是親眼所見,他們都會深信!
正因為人只相信自己所見,
所以反過來說,那些專程來的人
[想要看甚麼東西],
不就淺顯易懂了嗎?
再來那些人就會興高采烈的口耳相傳,
把事情傳出去,順便還會加油添醋。
對於後者,也就是今天沒來的人,
口耳相傳反而更有效。
那些慢一步知道的人,會因為害怕情報落差,
反而咬著情報源不放,簡言之,
這些慢一步知道的人的處境,
才是信徒真正的本能。"

美軍士兵守則

雖然在911之前我對美國的世界政策乃至於軍事行動就很反感了
但是在看完METAL GEAR SOLID之後對美國的厭惡又更無以復加了

然而現實層面卻是
看美國的DISCOVERY系的科普節目學習科技新知
看美國的國家地理頻道的歷史或天文節目滿足好奇心
看美國的軍事系武器航具作戰模式等情報充實戰術思維
玩美國出產的FPS和MMORG遊戲
騎美國設計的傘兵折疊腳踏車練身體
連生存遊戲或野外求生的部品也都是美系的啊OTZ

回頭一看我的生活習慣還真是親美啊OTZ
(應該說這個世界上的科技都是美國在主導啊)

但即使在反美及親美的矛盾情緒下
美國仍有很多值得學習的地方

之前在K島看到美軍的士兵守則
引發了我的好奇心

如下

1. You are not a superman.
你不是超人。(不要無謂的冒險、不要做傻事)

2. If it''s stupid but works,it isn''t stupid.
如果一個蠢方法有效,那它就不是一個蠢方法。

3.Don''t look conspicuous - it draws fire. (This is why aircraft carriers are called “Bomb Magnets”.)
不要太顯眼,因為那會引來對方火力攻擊。(這就是航母被稱為“炸彈磁鐵”的原因。)

4. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
別和比你勇敢的戰友躲在同一個散兵坑裡。

5.Never forget that the lowest bidder made your weapon.
別忘了你手上的武器是由最低價的承包商得標制造的。

6. If your attack is going really well,it''s an ambush.
如果你的攻擊進行得很順利,那一定是你中了圈套。

7. All five-second grenade fuses will burn down in three seconds.
所有五秒的手榴彈引線都會在三秒內燒完。

8. Try to look unimportant because bad guys may be low on ammo.
盡量顯得是一個無關緊要的人,因為敵人可能彈藥不夠了。(他會先打最重要的人)

9. If you are forward of your position,the artillary will fall short.
每當你要攻擊前進時,炮兵往往也快要用完了炮彈。

10. The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack.
那支你以為是敵軍疑兵而不加注意的部隊恰恰就是敵人的攻擊主力。

11. The important things are always simple.
重要的事總是簡單的。

12. The simple things are always hard.
簡單的事總是難作到。

13. The easy way is always mined.
好走的路總是已被敵軍布上了地雷。

14. If you are short of everything except enemy. You are in combat.
如果你除了敵人不缺,其它什麼都缺,那你往往就要面臨作戰了。

15. Incoming fire has the right of way.
飛來的子彈有優先通行權。(擋它的道你就要倒大楣!)

16. If the enemy is in range, SO ARE YOU!!!
如果敵人正在你的射程內,別忘了你也在他的射程內。

17. No combat ready unit has ever passed inspections.
從沒有一支完成戰備的單位能通過校閱。

18. Things that must be together to work usually can''t be shipped together.
必須要裝配在一起才能發揮效力的武器裝備通常不會一起運來。

19. Radio''s will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately.
無線電通訊會有可能在你急需火力支援時失靈。

20. Anything you do can get you shot - including doing nothing.
你作的任何事都可能挨槍子兒 - 包括你什麼都不做。

21. Tracers work both ways.
曳光彈可以幫你找到敵蹤;但也會讓敵人找到你。

22. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
唯一比敵人火力還精確的是友軍打過來的炮火。(誤射)

23. Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you can''t get out.
當你防守嚴密到敵人攻不進來時,那往往你自己也打出不去。

24. If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take.
如果你多報戰功,那下次你會被給予超過你能力的目標讓你去打。(自討苦吃)

25. When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose, they are both right.
當兩軍都覺得自己快輸時,那他們可能都是對的。

26. Professional soldiers are predictable but the world is full of amateurs.
專業士兵的行為是你能預測的,可惜戰場上業餘的士兵佔多數,因此敵人的行為大部分是你所無法預測的。

啊~~~
這26條準則不管用到哪個場合都好中肯啊XXD
簡直就是這個世界的真理啊OTZ

Sonic songs collection with lyric

來整理一些Sonic中好聽歌詞也不錯的歌
His World 來自360遊戲 Sonic The Hedgehog
It doesn't matter 來自 DC遊戲 Sonic Adventure
Open your heart 來自 DC遊戲 Sonic Adventure
Live and learn 來自 DC遊戲 Sonic Adventure 2
以前只是常常聽
現在看了歌詞才更了解內容

Sonic The Hedgehog - His World



另一種版本


[Verse 1]
C'mon light the fuse, he's a rocket and he's ready to go
'Cause now the coutdown has started and he's ready to blow
He's got the dope sounds pumpin in his stereo (-ego! )
Kickin' ass fast... puttin' on a show!
C'mon and get yourself together, there's no time to rest
And if you put the time in he'll put you to the test
He's like a runnin' man, in his world, more is less
And if you wanna test him best bring your best
Don't make me spell it out, bring your best!

[Chorus]
In this world (His world! ) Where life is strong
In this world (His world! ) Life's an open book
In this world (His world! ) Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!
In this world (His world! ) Where one is all
In this world (His world! ) Never fear the fall
In this world (His world! ) Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

[Verse 2]
Runnin' and back again, well what'dja expect?
Comin' out to win ten out of ten, got a real rough neck
Strikes something slippery, straps on his shoes
'Cause he's the best there ever was, haven't you heard the news?
Intergalactic continental champ, running things
Hyperactive instrumental and pulling strings
He's just the one who understands where the tides will swing
So he's breaking down doors, never following!
C'mon and psyche yourself up, 'cause it's time to play
Bounce to the beats and the rhymes 'cause they're here to stay
The one and only marathon-man livin' today
Movin' up, comin' fast, and he'll blow you away
Because the pressures of this world, they can take their toll
And it's tough to get away when they take ahold
The only way to break free is to break the mold
You can't stop now, lock and load
I said you can't stop now, c'mon, rock and roll!

[Chorus]
In this world (His world! ) (Gotta make your own way! ) Where life is strong
In this world (His world! ) (Life is just a game you play! ) Life's an open book
In this world (His world! ) (Notice that we're here to stay! ) Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds, every step meets the risk!
In this world (His world! ) (Gotta make your own way! ) Where one is all
In this world (His world! ) (Life is just a game you play! ) Never fear the fall
In this world (His world! ) (Notice that we're here to stay! ) Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

[Bridge]
Light the fuse on his rocket and he's ready to go
'Cause now the coutdown has started and he's ready to blow (to blow... to blow...)
(In his world... ! where one is all! )
Intergalactic continental champ, running things
Hyperactive instrumental with pulling strings
(In his world... ! Never fear the fall! )

[Ending]
(In his world... ! ) The only way to break free is to break the mold
You can't stop now, lock and load
(His world... ! ) I said you can't stop now, lock and load
(His world... ! ) Don't stop now, c'mon and rock and roll!


 Sonic Adventure - It doesn't matter



Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
I'm just livin' by my own feelings
And I won't give in, won't compromise
I just only have a steadfast heart of gold

I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
I got my way, my own way

* It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
There is no way to stop me from going to the very top

It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right

Well, I won't look back I don't need to
Time won't wait and I got so much to do

Where do I stop, it's all a blur and so unclear
Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong

This fight is not for anybody, this is purely for myself
There is no way I'm gonna give up 'til the very end
I can't tell what is wrong and what is right, I've got to find the answer
But until I do there's no way I will ever give up

Place all your bets an the one you think is right

(Guitar Solo)

* Repeat

 Sonic Adventure - Open your heart



Thunder, rain, and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamour, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign

Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us!?

All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone who are we what can we do
You and i are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not there is no way i can lose

Can't hold on much longer - but i will never let go
I know it's a one way track - tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way - nor will i count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn - now i see what i've gotta do

Open your heart, it's gonna be allright

Ancient city blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger

I don't know what it can be but you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick, you won't have it your own way

Can't hold on much longer - but i will never let go
I know it's a one way track - tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way - nor will i count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn - now i see what i've gotta do

Open your heart...and you'll see...

If it won't stop, there will be no future for us
Its heart is tied down by all the hate, gotta set him free

I know it's a one way track - tell me now how long this'll last
Close my eyes and feel it burn - now i see what i've gotta do

Gotta open your heart, dude!

Can't hold on much longer - but i will never let go
I know it's a one way track - tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way - nor will i count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn - now i see what i've gotta do

Open your heart, it's gonna be allright

Sonic Adventure 2 - Live and learn



Can you feel life movin' through your mind,
Ooh, looks like it came back for more!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Can you feel time slippin' down your spine,
Ooooooh, You try and try to ignore!
Yeah!

But you can hardly swallow,
Your fears and pain.
When you can't help but follow,
It puts you right back where you came.

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.

Whooooa, yeah!

Can you feel life tangle you up inside?
Yeah, now you're face down on the floor!
Oh!

But you can't save your sorrow,
You've paid in trade!
When you can't help but follow,
It puts you right back where you came.

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.

Hey, whoa, whoa,
Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

There's a face searching far, so far and wide.
There's a place where you dream you'd never find.
Hold on to what if?
Hold on to what if?

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.

近期強作: Fez

這個Fez不是以前史克威爾推出的幻想戰記
而是由一個老外獨立工作室作的Fez



這是一款概念很強的遊戲
用3D概念作的2D遊戲
但卻用2D概念去玩3D的遊戲
讓我簡單的說一下這個概念
3D有所謂的"景深"這個概念
但2D其實是沒有的
例如兩個前後相差了30CM遠的梯子
在沒有景深的平面上,他們就像是連接再一起的梯子一樣
但是當你翻種了九十度角
這30CM的垂直距離差就會變成水平距離差
就會被表現出來
從影片中就可以看到這個概念

獨立製作遊戲
Indie Game
這隻有比較有名的有
Limbo ,Super Meat Boy, Braid等等
有意思的是
這些有名的Indie Game製作人
被串再一起拍了一部類似紀錄片的影片

Indie Game, The Movie


目前還沒字幕版
內容大意就是在講一些
專心致力於製作"自己的遊戲"的人
這之中包含了強烈的視覺傳達與意念傳達
以及現實層面的壓力
"我到底在做甚麼?"
"我做的東西真的能說服玩家嗎?"
"如果沒有成功,我就會消失在歷史的洪流中"
作遊戲就像是個預先劃地的戰爭
雖然也有在劃地外取得勝果的例子
但大多數都會在自己劃出的領地中分勝負
一旦戰敗就一文不值
推出先進的武器
不見得可以擊敗原始的小刀
這種例子在這幾年開始漸得印證
在歐美市場方面
與其推出畫面極佳的作品
不如推出遊戲性強的作品
就算你的畫面只有8bit等級
玩家也照吃不誤
就這點來說
亞洲市場的玩家就還比較停留在
畫面大於遊戲性的狀況
但
亞洲市場的討論中
真的是支持正版的比例其實也沒多高就是
在有盜版支持大量遊玩的狀況下
所有遊戲的平均壽命都非常短
其中遊戲生命長的
仍然會是遊戲性強的遊戲
但這卻不代表
正版銷售量就會跟著好

到了這裡
已經是純理念性質的討論了
這在台灣近乎是不可能
不過我還是期待
有那麼一個傳說中的團隊出現的一天

K島島民與網釣漁民的交火

曾幾何時
我每天上K島的時間從每天必上
到一個禮拜2次
甚至到了一個月可能上不到一次

雖然說是本身正在進行脫宅以及休閒嗜好技能化的路線修正
但是這種網路使用習慣的巨大改變卻是我當初沒有預料到的

近期偶而一次去看看模型版
想說計畫要來重操舊業做點模型來玩玩
就跑到模型版晃晃
結果看到了非常有趣的東西

由於K島的宅知名度太高了
所以不管是想要把阿宅騙出來仙人跳的
或是真的走投無路或超拜金的學生妹出來賺皮肉錢的
或是條杯杯業績不夠出來釣魚的

常常可以在各大版面看到下面類似的訊息


為了防止各位善良訪客因一時好奇而誤入歧途故以馬賽克遮掉XD

不知道是有島民真的被鴿子釣過或被仙人跳
還是真的約出來卻著實當了一回龍騎士
還是真的被這種洗版訊息弄到快抓狂了

島民們開始了K島特有文化!!!
K島話題再創作!!!

這也導致我在非惡搞版的區塊以外的地方被惡搞攻擊到不支倒地XD

這次站出來的是蘿蔔版、模型版及鋼普拉版的蘿蔔宅
他們開始將這個洗版訊息改成機器人動畫裡的組織、人物等特色

然後不讓這種洗版訊息專美於前
開始主動攻佔還未被侵入的板塊

這個洗版活動變成了蘿蔔宅島民對島內的攻擊
與其讓自己的電腦被病毒入侵還不如自己親手寫病毒植入自己的電腦
這種玉石俱焚(?)的手段除了得到廣大島民的笑點支持的同時
也得到了島民們的不滿與不便XD

這種島內攻擊的風氣大概只要再次出現類似洗版訊息
下面就會跟著出現島民們的創作改版
然後再以比原版快的速度出去各大版洗版吧XD
這大概會變成一個新的K島文化吧

以下就節錄幾個病毒式主題發言XD

首先是魯魯修的騎士團招募宣言!!!


 接著是勇者王獅子王凱的地球守護招募宣言!!!

 再來是東方師匠的招生宣言XXD

 然後是流龍馬的反入侵志願者招募宣言!!!

最後是賭上全人類命運的反螺旋族宣言XXD

接下來不知道會是哪個版的宅友們站出來
我個人比較期待看到特攝版和軍武版的

2012年4月9日

PETMAN再進化!!!我們又離鋼彈更近一步了!!!

還記得2009年讓眾多蘿蔔控為之瘋狂的PETMAN嗎?
經過了三年的改良
現在BostonDynamics公司推出了最新力作

PETMAN-改(改字是俺自己加上去的XD)


跟上次發表的僅有下半身的PETMAN不一樣
這次是連同軀體以及手臂都納入機身了!!!
而這個像是MG鋼彈模型的骨架
竟然可以像個活生生的人一樣走路了!!!
而跟系列其他產品一樣
PETMAN一樣也有著絕高的平衡感



光是這樣絕高的機動性就已經能打趴一堆日本製的家用機器人了
只要再加上仿人機械手臂手指和頭部的感應器
根本就是一隻活生生的機器戰警啊!!!
何況這玩意兒本來就是軍事導向
更增添了男子漢的浪漫度啊!!!

如果再研發出半永久迷你型動力的話
那麼不要說是鋼彈了!!!
連機械O僕都將不再只是宅男們的幻想啦!!!XXD

接下來再附贈一個有點毛骨悚然的東西


接下來連洛伊德(ZOIDS)都要問世啦!!!
