So We've Heard You Don't Know How To Save Pictures From Instagram!

This is yet another helpful tutorials for all you non-tech savy folks of the interweb. 

Our previous tutorial on How To Print Screen With Your Laptop:

http://silentsanctummanga.blogspot.com/2012/02/so-weve-heard-you-dont-know-how-to.html

Instagram : there are a literally GRAMS and GRAMS of interesting photos on the said site. Mostly good and a handful of bad ones and amongst the 30 something bad ones, chances are you'd want to save a particular image. But what to do? Screenshots /Screen grabbing is such a drag and you don't even have the patience to crop most of them. Leaving you with crappy looking photos announcing to everyone as to how much battery you have left and how much of an insomniac you really are. How pathetic! Let's change all that and do things the right way, the SSM! way!

First things first, if you DO have an Instagram account, follow our account over @

https://www.instagram.com/silentsanctummanga/

And let's be INSTA-BUDDIES! 

Creepy!

Alrighty then, down to the order of business aaaaand for the sake of clarity: step by step screencaps would be provided as opposed to what we did in the previous tutorial.

1. Stalking/Visiting the page of your favorite IG-er. For this particular tutorial we chose to follow

Ms. Anri Okita's acccount.

She has plenty of really REALLY nice.....pictures and that's very important in a site such as Instagram.
Plus she's an excellent artist,

and that's always a good thing!

And if you're smart, you should probably follow her as well! It's for your own good!

2. Selecting your desired photo.

Let's keep this tutorial classy by choosing the photo that best represents her page:

Whoomp!

There it is!

3. Right click then select " View Page Source".

You'd then be directed to a page looking like THIS:

Ughhhhhh,Whadahellman????

Don't worry, Ric Flair!

We'd help you out. This is a SSM! tutorial after all!

Now that Ric Flair had calmed the fuck down. On to step #

4. Click Edit then Find.

The Find action then prompts a Status Bar at the bottom of the page.
Key in "jpg" then press ENTER.

Scroll up/down to find the first match with the said keyword.

5. Copy the link of the said first match.

6. Paste it on a separate tab. Then PRESTO!

A savable image!
Plenty other photos were saved using this method. The entire process is a bit tedious at first but rest assured that it is all well worth it!

Now a simpler way to bypass all this mess is to check if the said photo had been uploaded elsewhere. Like let's say ....on her Twitter account:
https://twitter.com/AnriOkita_real
But then again, some photos are an Instagram exclusive so there's always that dilemma.
That's that and you're welcome!
Now, on to the fapcave!

Weekends With Chappie

So this is what we've been up to the entire week prior to today.

*Purchased 3 new Dragon Ball Tankobons.

So that's, 13-42= ?

We're still 29 issues short from completing our rather ballsy collection.
What a pain in the ass!
We've been collecting these books all our lives and yet the numbers don't lie.
Oh well! Better luck next time, I guess..

* Recommended Indie Of the Month...no scratch that 
Indie Of The Year.
Which one, if you might so naively ask.
It's....THIS ONE!

Buy it!
Read it!
Savor it!
Then thank us later.
Available exclusive where the finest books are sold, UNO MORATO.

Also went SURPLUS STORE HOPPING (is there even such a term? Well, we're coining
that up right now!) and
* Purchased these CDs and books.

* Mind blown from the hidden message of these BLACK & WHITE covers.

Individually they wouldn't make any sense but side by side
they'd eventually convey the mantra of
HEAR, SPEAK and SEE NO EVIL.
How about that?

*Played two out of the four cds relentlessly.
Namely
1.) Marvel Super Heroes

Where in we've unlocked DR. DOOM.

At the character selection screen,
Press Down, Down then press and hold X,O, R1.
(you should still be holding X, O, when you press R1.)
Captain America's name would be announced but the image would be replaced with
that of Dr. Doom.)
and THANOS.

At the character selection screen,
Press Down, Down then press and hold L1,Triangle,Square.
(you should still be holding L1, Triangle, when you press Square.
Spider-man's name would be announced but the image would be replaced with
that of Thanos.)

But still no ANITA.

Got to use Dr. Doom's cool gun combo.

And eventually got to show off with Thanos' jewelry collection.

The bubble shot attack doesn't really do much damage( it's more of an annoying
trap that an actual attack.). But apply the same move on
SHUMA-GORATH and simply make the poor creature look even weirder!

Another special move that doesn't really do anything is the TIME GEM.
Other than canceling your opponents' special meter and reversing his/her controls, it really doesn't do much damage.
But apply the same move on a doppelganger and you'd get this really cool wallpaper while you duke it out.

The other game that we chose to master was
2.) Street Fighter Ex Plus Alpha.
By game developer Arika.
HALIKA?

no Arika!
Oh, ARETHA!

no, ARIKA!!
Oh, got it!
PAPRIKA!

Oh brother!

 There you go!
by Akira Nishitani and then published by Capcom.

It was a weird game back then and it still pretty much is to this day.
With Hidden Bonus Game such as the barrel breaking stage from the original SFII game....but only HARDER!

To Unlock this Bonus Game:
Go to Mode Selection Screen menu and highlight "Practice" then input
Start,Up,Up,Right,Up,Right,Up,Start. A sound will confirm it and accompanied
by a "HERE COMES A NEW GAME MODE" message at the bottom of the screen.

And two of the most memorable characters in the fighting game mythos...
THESE TWO

unfinished character models or something...
Maaaan, that's even lazier than MK's pallete swapped ninjas.
Totally not worthy enough to be unlockable characters and totally
unworthy to be even in the game. Oh well! And there are even two more
remodels(recolored then given evil genes) of the same characters,
Evil Ryu and Bloody Hokuto...woopeedoo!

To Unlock these uninspiring Hidden Characers:
Again Go to the Mode Selection Screen and highlight "Practice" then input
Start, Up, Right, Down, Right, Start. A sound will confirm the code
and accompanied by a "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLEGER"message at the bottom of
the screen.

We were quickly disappointed with the inclusion of too many SHOTOKAN fighters.

I mean, compare this with the STREET FIGHTER ALPHA(ZERO) 3's  roster and you'd
clearly see the difference.

Familiar faces were then replaced with cheap alternatives.
Despite all the flaw, Our personal favorites would still be
BLAIR, GARUDA, D.DARK and PULLUM.

But enough talk and let's simply play the game!
Well, it does play just like any other SF games. Well, That's a relief!

Some of the moves are a bit harder to pull off.
But fret not, humble netizens!
Nothing a little bit of TRAINING (Expert Mode) can't fix.

 

A little training here and a little training there then VOILA!

You'd be throwing HADOUKENS like a pro in no time!

Another nice feature of the game would be the playlist thingie on the bottom left.

Because it's always nice to know which songs are playing while you're getting your ass whupped.

There is also a REPLAY similar to what we've been acustomed to with the Tekken games.

On that note it also features an Ending Collection.

Again, very similar to what Tekken did way back when.

There are also some in game surprises like Akuma beating the snot out of
Vega(M.Bison)

then challenging you to a totally imbalanced fight to the death.

Much emphasis on the TOTALLY IMBALANCED aspect as this Akuma (also referred to by some as SHIN AKUMA)attacks in relentless combos and with 100% accuracy.

Beating him however earns you the title of "BEAD SMASHER"

and some extra menus on your options section.

The polygons were extremely big and chunky.

Something they'd later refine on the updated versions.
The endings were pretty weird and rather unsatisfying.

No actual stories or spoilers were in any of the endings.

They simply serve as a reward for finishing the game.

And last but not the least,
*Downloaded Martial Masters.

Huh?
Martial Masters!

What?
MARTIAL MASTERS!!!

A game that plays and feels a whole lot like Street Fighter III.
Download your own copy @ http://www.mediafire.com/download/zbe5jn2apkd5rbm/Martial+Masters.zip

Haven't really played it thoroughly but is pretty much getting used to the
controls. Personal fave would be Ghost Kick, Lotus Master and Tiger.
 Edit: It was a sweet game and it even has it's own ending rather than just a generic congratulatory screen.

And that's that!
Haven't really drawn or checked any of our school assignments but that's alright.
Atleast we're relaxed and ready for monday.And it was a relatively productive weekend to say the least.
