What, who, where am I?!?
Craig Lotter is a web developer based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa, who seems completely incapable of shaking off that pesky inner child within, the one that forces him to love all things animated or hand drawn.
The Rugged Rock of Craig contains snippets of his life, popular culture and all the important things like anime, manga, games and comic books. The CodeUnit of Craig on the other hand contains the more serious stuff like code snippets and tutorials, while the House of C chronicles his foray into the world of web comics.
For which it never seems he has enough time anyway.

Screenshot Saturday: Detroit Metal City (Episode 12)
Episode 12 and Jack Ille Dark, a.k.a The Emperor, legendary Black Metal maestro from the United States certainly knew how to rub mild-mannered Soichi Negishi up the wrong way (and all over some lovingly prepared mushrooms at that), resulting in a very angry alter ego taking to the stage. Continue reading

Screenshot Saturday: Michiko to Hatchin (Episode 1)
Towards the end of the first episode of Michiko to Hatchin we have this absolutely fantastic sequence where Michiko comes careening out of nowhere on her over-powered turquoise super scooter, ramping through the big glass window into the unsuspecting evil foster parents’ dining room in order to locate her missing daughter Hatchin.

Cosplay Sundae: Airi (Queen’s Blade)

Given a human form by the evil Swamp Witch and the most loyal and willing of servants, Airi finds herself used mostly for assassinations, where her power to absorb vitality on touch serves her particularly well.

Mankind’s only real weapon against the Neuroi turns out to be a mixture of technology and magic, given form in the Striker Units, mechanical legs that when worn by magic-wielding girls, deliver the power of flight and strength to its wearer.
