Having A Get Off My Lawn Moment


The cane and clothing from New York makes me looks older.
Actually, my get off my lawn moment is about how Hello Kitty Online had become an insult. It is sad; I just did a Google search and confirm go play hello kitty online has became and insult, very different from 2009 when there was an interest and buzz from the gamer community. The biggest error was braking up the servers to different regions and outsourcing distribution to outside companies like Aeria Games. The decision to outsource had lead to a delayed beta and loss of momentum. In addition, it broke up the international socialization of the game and unnecessarily segmented the market. Other issues are, as other seen, the lack of advertising and not promoting and linking to Sanrio stores and events. HKO should been promoted though the Sanrio 50th anniversary events especially the LA and Miami events. Getting celebrity and their kids endorsements would do wonders.
How I would save the game. First, consolidate all servers to language groups. Second link promotions to Sanrio stores, store purchases can lead to earning coins. Finally fix the social networking aspect. Make guild mean something.

My Post Christmas Shopping Trip.

I got  50.00 in Christmas Money and decided to go get my Hello Kitty Build-A-Bear after putting her off for a while. I had to deiced ether go for Toy R- US jumbo Kitty or the Build A Bear one. Many fellow furs were telling me at the meets about the availably of Hello Kitty at Build a Bear. Her Name is Jan Jetset and will be my second Travel/Con kitty when I could not take my larger Hello Kitty with me to a fur con or one of the large fan Anime conventions. One day I would like to attend out of state conventions like furry fiesta, where I have to fly rather than drive. I might keep her in my suitcase or even carry her aboard and use her as part of my trip reports.

Next Stop was to the Sanrio Store at Washington Square. The store had changed with less items for sale. One piece of good nes ther had a busy holiday sales season.  Still I was able to get one of the larger 50th Anniversary Hello Kitty Plushes and a Iron Patch to turn one of my Shirts into a Hello Kitty man-shirt; an idea I got off Hamster Kitty.

Caption This: The Occasional Funny HKO Picture

There been a bug in the recent patch of Hello Kitty Online. It has to do how item are popping up in player’s accessory pants  slot that causes the pants not to be rendered on to the payer charters leaving them naked from the waste down .   

Well this picture leaves an opportunity for a little game. I am putting up this picture and you leave a caption in the comments.

Relevance fail: Sanrio Digital attempt to appeal to the Hip Hop culture by introducing Sagging; unfortunately with disastrous results

 

Any more?

Small Gift Popup Tour- Portland Oregon

It was a typical NW fall day, grey damp and wet. I decided to take light rail down to save on gas and parking. It was short enough of a visit to get in get some pictures buy some stuff and get out on a single ticket. Unlike reports of the San Francisco kickoff, there was no big line, perhaps due to the weekday visit and / or the weather. I even scratch up some cash to buy me a few cheap items.
