After partially assembling the other leg, I was interrupted to run an errand.  By the time I returned, I had to put the final touches and put everything away.  I figure I can always resume later the night. Piece by piece, the other leg was coming along and I finally got it done.  I took a look at the next component, the waist, and saw that it doesn't require a lot of pieces.  So I thought

Started finishing up on that leg that was left incomplete.  Thankfully, there was only a handful of pieces needed to put together.  Putting on the details also worked out well.  Not a lot of glaring mistakes but some of the lines turned out well.  I also managed to figure out what part of the leg was exposed and which are covered.  This helped me to put the finishing touches on the exposed

Not much was done but a single leg took longer than I thought, as I had to ensure everything was correct.  There is also the fact that I had to smooth out the pieces so the extra plastic don't stick out as much.  All I got to show for is a leg that is naked.  Nothing is covering it up and I am still in the process of getting it finished.  At the rate this is going, it'll take me another two

It is difficult to work on the model kit when you're tired.  As a result, the most I was able to do were the feet.  There is still plenty left to do for the rest.  However, I could not muster up the strength to really do anything further than this.  Not having a comfortable and nicely lit workstation can do that. The feet design seems to be a bit strange.  Perhaps this is by design but it is

Having a bit of extra time on hand, I made good progress on the other arm.  Finishing it up took a while but it was smooth sailing as I know what part is concealed and which sections are exposed.  Yet even though I made good progress on it, I also spent more time than anticipated.  After finishing the other arm, I should have simply left it at that.  After seeing what the next step was, I

I guess I didn't overestimate this time.  I managed to finish up a single arm.  But after that, it was pretty much calling it a day.  Granted, I still could put in some extra time into starting with the other arm, but I did not want to overdo it.  This session had me opening up another plastic bag to fetch a runner that is used in the process.  There were a few runners that came in identical

I had thought I would get at least half done on this particular session but it seems like I didn't get that far.  I overestimated when I thought I would get probably one arm done.  However, after painstakingly piecing the final parts to the body, I had to take a break.  After a half-hour nap, I returned only to have my vision a tad blurry for a few minutes.  After a while, that blurriness went

Some of the complications that come with building Gundam models is cutting the pieces out cleanly from the runners.  Sometimes you get that thick gate that eats up a lot of room and can make getting a clean cut difficult. Some of the pieces I have to cut out tend to be like that.  And then there are those with gates and orientations that make cutting difficult with the current tools on hand.

As I was finishing up Destiny Gundam, my other Gundam model arrived -- a Master Grade 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G.  I guess you can say I have a thing for Gundam mechs with unusual or unique sword designs.  But even though I have finished Destiny Gundam, I was not truly able to start on this until a few other parts arrived. The first being 4 GunPla LED units that I ordered from Amiami.  The second

It sucks recovering from a cold.  I managed to put in two sessions as I try to get better.  However, after finishing up session 5, I could not muster up the strength or the mindset to post.  Trying to put the pieces together without coughing up a storm wasn't a major issue, as I did this when the coughing was minimal.  Having a bottle of water kept nearby kind of helped a bit.  Assembling the

Finishing up what I left off, the other arm piece was carefully assembled and put together.  As I had leftover pieces from the previous session, getting it assembled did not take long as the only thing needed to do was snip off the excess plastic and smooth it out.  Once that was done, connecting the arm to the main body was all that was left.  I find out that despite what I had described as the

Knowing that I'll be dealing with some small parts, I got started on the arms.  But before doing that, I partially disassembled the head to add additional details in.  It was an attempt to mostly match the same detailings and appearance seen in the finished model in the photograph on the back of the manual.  It was a bit tricky trying to do this as a couple of pieces were extremely small, even

For the second session, I want to make sure that I finish the main body so that I can continue to the other parts that will require assembling.  A few pieces also needed some detailing so I took some extra time in order to ink the panel lines and edges.  However, as I look over the markers that I have, I find that some of the colors do not match nor do I have any color for this particular series.

Patience often has its virtue.  But sometimes waiting can work against you.  With the current economy as it is right now, everything is in a stinking mess.  One particular mess is the dollar/yen exchange rate.  For a very long time, the exchange rate for the yen has been over 100:1.  In other words, it used to cost over 100 yen to convert to a single dollar.  This is no longer the case.  Past

The idea is nuts.  The experience is grand.  The cost is a tad overboard.  But when it all comes together, the description is mind boggling.  There isn't much to be said when people speak of Eyefinity. Sure it's a wild idea and the caveat is a bit disappointing to say the least.  Yet what you gained is probably something you won't be able to live without. When ATI unveiled the concept of

So my RAID0 drive went bonkers on me and I lost a lot of files.  A bunch of them were personal files but some of them were movies that I have kept over time.  And those movies were the ones that are bigger than a DVD+R can hold and wanted to archive.  It'll take me a bit to get around to getting those back again. But despite losing so much, about half of what's stored there is backed up on my

It didn't take long for me to do this.  Seeing as I only need to nudge it a little and I'll achieve it.  The Lucky title is definitely a troublesome title to deal with.  With chances, statistics, and percentages, I had to gamble each time I walk up to a chest to open it. Achieving the Blessed by Fate title also pushes another title over to the highest tier possible.  With that, not only did I

It's been a long time.  5 years ago, a new online RPG game was released to the world.  And people got a taste of how the game Guild Wars worked.  Breaking away from typical and traditional MMOs, Guild Wars don't rely on using worlds where others can meet mid-way through.  Instead, parties are formed first and they enter in an instance of their own world, with no outsiders or anyone else to

*sigh* Idiots... About a week ago, ArenaNet posted a tweet offering up 3 free access key codes on a first-come, first-serve basis.  This was an interesting opportunity to score a costume if I was quick about it.  With time to spare, I went to fire up Guild Wars in order to get the game up to date and be prepared for it.  However, just after entering the password, which I am sure was correct, I

It's been a month since the game's released.  And I have promised that I would be writing this review to properly ensure that I have virtually viewed every aspect of the game on the multiplayer front.  As one might have guessed, this is to make sure that I have played it and know just how the weapons feel and work while playing online.  While other reviewers may have put in only certain amount of

It is done.  Because of bad preparation, I was unable to complete the entire thing on session 13.  This was due in part of the decision to paint a few items which have special colors and odd color blending from the plastic mix.  This was rectified with the early purchase of a couple of special color markers. The weapons have a few pieces which are colored gold but the plastic mix that went in to

The Tactical Arms II-L is nearly completed.  According to the manual, it's missing 6 pieces.  By session 13, everything should be done.  But so far, the giant equipment looks quite good and interesting despite being incomplete by so few pieces. Elevating the work area seem to have little effect on trying to alleviate the chance of being worn out early.  But I was able to go through a full

Starting on the weapons and equipment, I look over what needs to be cut and what needs to be inked.  Some of the pieces were fairly easy to see as far as what is there to ink.  But there are a few parts where the angles made it difficult to make a straight line.  However, I hope that after passing that portion I won't have to deal with that kind of issues again. Several pieces were cut off and

My endurance could not hold out to start on the next step.  As a result, the only component I was able to finish was the waist and with it, the main body is completed.  The components connected and snap into place and I can finally see the fruit of my labor.  The time and effort poured into this now show decent results.  The additional time to ink the panel lines on the pieces proved to be worth

So I'm now on the 9th session and the goal is to finish the other leg.  Fortunately, what I have done in the first leg has helped me prepare in getting some of the pieces ready.  And since I already have a leg done, I can use that as a reference point when looking up panel lines for inking. I found out that using the X-Acto knife can be quite useful in removing some of the excess plastics on

This may go down as the component that took me the longest to ever finish.  Resuming where I left off, I aimed to finish off one single leg and perhaps start on the other leg.  Well, I only managed to finish a leg.  But starting on the next leg cannot happen as I opted to stop there for the time being. As the leg start to come together, I find more panel lines that I could have inked.

Due to weather, I could not resume assembling the model for 3 straight days.  To pass the time, I turned to my Sword Impulse Gundam and started inking the panel lines.  It has already made some progress but it was very minor at best.  Piecing together the Astray Red Frame require my full attention and that was just not possible at the time. But to really work on the Sword Impulse, I had to take

Session 5 finished up where I left off, which were the arms that I was working on.  But the amount of work and effort that went into finishing the arms took up an entire session alone.  The main time consumer were the hands themselves.  Aside from clipping the pieces off and then sanding down the excess plastics, to get the more accurate appearance, I have opted to do some minor painting using

I think it's more appropriate to indicate each run as a session rather than a day.  After all, I may have multiple sessions in a single day, provided that I was able to do it in the first place. As part of assembling the arms, I have managed to assembled most of what's needed but the arms are incomplete at this time.  This is due to inking the panel lines, some of which I now realize that I

So where was Day 1 and Day 2?  I didn't bother to make a post for it. On Wednesday, I started assembly of the Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai.  The first order of business is to make sure that I got all the parts and that nothing was somehow missing.  After looking over the parts, I started looking to see where one parts are so I can start the assembly.  The first major component is the body, which

I seem to be tumbling down the world of model kits, Gundam models in particular.  I do not know why but my 3rd Gundam model has just arrived via EMS/USPS.  It isn't large and it's actually a small sized box compared to other Master Grade models that I've seen.  But perhaps the biggest reason for its small size is due to the fact that it is based on an old Gundam design, which does not have some

So another Gundam model has arrived at my doorstep.  This time, it's the Gundam Astray Red Frame from the Gundam Seed universe.  The box itself is quite impressive but the content and the details are even more amazing.  Like Sword Impulse before it, there are a lot of parts.  And it appears that the model comes with a support base to help with the overwhelming weight of one of the equipment.

Having played Battlefield 2, 2142, and the first Bad Company, I have some bit of knowledge as to what I am getting myself into.  Knowing the Battlefield series, I know that the focus is going to be mainly on the multiplayer aspect rather than the single player.  Despite that, I will try to review the single player aspect of the game to the best of my ability.  This is not intended to be the

It was the rematch.  And again, it was Super Hockey Sunday.  Previously, in a preliminary round, Team USA on men's hockey managed to beat Team Canada on their home turf.  Seems like a sign that Team USA could win the gold, right?  Not really.  Canada bounced back and made it all the way to the Gold Medal finals, where they faced, again, Team USA. It was an intense match.  After trailing 2-0,

And so Super Bowl 44 came and went.  With it, a great show of abilities by both sides.  Both came out strong and both showed some weakness here and there.  While it seems like the Colts can easily come back to win it all, one thing that prevented it was the game changing interception by the Saints.  As soon as he caught it and ran all the way down for the touchdown, it was pretty much over.  All

It's been eons since I've posted anything with regards to anime that it felt that it's been put on the back burner.  Well, for the most part, it is.  As new anime series continue to churn out, I get lost in the midst of all of the titles that are being aired.  I lose focus on the type of shows that I like. I'm a nut for involving stories.  Romance, drama, a bit of comedy, and I can go for action

What does the future hold for humanity?  Fear?  Peace?  War?  Sometimes, you just need to ask youself just what the future may hold for all of us. Judgement Day, the Apocalypse, the End of the World, these are the things that is seen in the movie 2012.  It's a catastrophe movie.  And like any catastrophe movie, expect to see a lot of dying.  But what makes it sorta stand out from the rest is it

I guess I never really did much on Guild Wars during all the time that I have spent playing.  But that was until I started actively trying to do things that I thought would take a while to do.  Case in point is the achievement, or title as it's called in Guild Wars, Incorrigible Ale-Hound.  To get this, one must spend 10,000 minutes dunk.  And the timing is actual minutes, or less if you use some

So Steam is offering great deals on a variety of games that they have available at their store.  This is similar to their Thanksgiving/Black Friday deals that they had some weeks ago.  But this time, it seems their offers are much more interesting than before.  Having already purchased Trine, Braid, and World of Goo at prices which were too good to pass up, they offer those three again at similar

On June 1st, 2009, I placed a pre-order on Hobby Link Japan for a very expensive PVC figure.  This figure would turn out to be the most expensive figure purchased to date.  I hope that I won't make another expensive purchase like that again for a very long time. The figure in question is Fate T. Harlaown, an anime character from the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS series.  The figure is

Black Friday, I still hate it.  The one single day out of the entire year that people have to shop on and the retailers advertise on, you'd think they would at least spread their intended sale across several days, rather than squeezing it all into one single shopping day. I still cannot get over the memory of an outing one year.  This lady had a PS2 and some games in the shopping cart.  Yet I

A long time ago, I transitioned from one game to the next.  It was a jump that took a while to adjust.  But this is due to how the two games differ.  Back then, playing BF2142 wasn't much of a big deal.  But it was still an interesting game since it was more focused on ground attacks and not so much on air superiority.  Although now, I do not know if I can say the same, having not played the game

You know how people say that one is digging their own grave? I guess you can say that this is one of those cases where it's like that. Granted, it's already been set when Infinity Ward when they said that there won't be any dedicated server. But nobody knew just how deep the grave hole would be until just recently. Best Buy hosted a live-chat with the people from Infinity Ward. And with it,

I will not hold back on this one. But granted this is mostly an inevitable truth. Last night, the Yankees won the World Series. And with it, their immense spending has finally paid off. I won't lie to you. I don't like the Yankees. I more than despise and loathe them. I hate them for everything that they and the MLB stand for. They are 200x worse than Microsoft in terms of ethics.

What a difference a weekend makes. I spent the weekend quietly and was not aware of a major news that broke out from an interview. By the time I heard about it, it was Sunday evening and was rather surprised by it. Well, not really... still, it was a bit of a surprise.Infinity Ward, the developers to Call of Duty 4, is changing how PC players find games/rounds online for their multi-player

As Microsoft makes its way around the country (of USA that is) to promote Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2, I had the chance to attend their "technical briefing" at the Boston, Massachusetts location. The reason why is simple: score a free copy of Windows 7. Is there any other reason? Well, getting to know a little about some of the stuff that is coming soon and new is also good. But sadly I am not

For a very long time, I have been using single-layered DVD+/-R blanks to burn all of my medias and files. However, some of the files I have go beyond the usual 4.5GB mark. Unfortunately, I cannot simply split them off and try to make two discs out of them. It doesn't seem all that practical to me. But I am starting to run low on space due to all the downloads and archiving of various files.

Lately I have been on a couple of buying spree for deals on games. And I blame it all on Steam for making such games too good to pass up. It all started out with World of Goo, a simple puzzle game that uses physics to help provide problems and solutions. The usual price is about US$20 but I picked it up for a small sum of US$5. The game is beautifully done and I see why people liked it so

One thing I cannot stand is how some people can be so stupid. But I'm at a loss on who is to blame. I mean, using mobile devices has a certain level of self-awareness and responsibility to others and to yourself. You use it to keep tabs on a variety of things and you use it to get in touch with other people. And that's fine when you're communicating with others in a simpler and quicker way

For a very, very long time, the game Battlefield 2 has suffered dearly in many ways than one. Even worse so is the attack on ranked servers that try to maintain a place for people to connect on and have some fun. I have not played the game in many months, if not weeks, for I have long moved on to better games that are at least supported. Well, the term support should now be taken with a grain

Perhaps the most intricate and delicate hobbies out there are those who assemble and build model kits. Model kits come in mostly plastics, requires assembly, and is unpainted. Most model kits are designed so that you need additional tools and materials in order to finish it. Bandai, owner of the Gundam franchise, manufactures all sorts of model kits for the Gundam franchise. And you'll find

Due to different culture and how objects are viewed and "used," certain things will never see the light of day here. But there are some things that transcends the barrier, like the Transformers franchise. For the most part, the Transformers toys tend to be played with regardless of age. Yet due to American rules, regulations, and perhaps law as well, these toys are analyzed with such scrutiny

I have heard the rumor but I left it at that, a rumor. Little did I know that it turns out to be true. The Phoenix Suns has traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Suns get 2 players plus a draft pick. And the Cavs get Shaq. The Cavs were destined to go all the way. But the Orlando Magics threw a wrench in the machine and screwed things up.

So on June 12th, the analog TV age has ended.  And with it, some pains and troubles started.  This is of no surprise, as any transition and migration cannot go without a hitch.  Having waited for so long for this to happen, I’m finally glad that the analog signal has been cut off, mostly. And while those who use cable or satellite TV will not notice a thing, those using old fashion rabbit ears

Well, it's bound to happen. This is one of the cool things about Stardock. They don't just make a version and let it sit and rot. They keep updating it, bringing in new features and making it work with new versions of Windows. Today, WindowBlinds 7 Beta 1 was released to ObjectDesktop subscribers.

This took me a while as I have been doing nothing but playing Guild Wars and Call of Duty as of late. But despite this, there are a couple of things needed to archive and burn to a blank DVD. So in order to do that, I decided to install two applications: ImgBurn and Alcohol 52%.Alcohol 52% was a trivial matter, since the backend or foundation for which the virtual drive system works with wasn't

It's easy to become lost in the midst of things. Sometimes you tend to forget to do something to test certain features, functions, and abilities to determine if there are any quirks, bugs, or just something out of the ordinary. In an earlier post, I mentioned on how I have iTunes installed and running. But I did not test any of the functions that made iTunes what it is: an interface for iPod,

After a bit of bugging in order to get some ideas, suggestions, and whatever else in between, an individual over at Hauppauge's UK forums suggested an idea for me to try out. While I have yet to determine whether or not this fully works, I'll be giving it a try in every possible way. Hopefully I'll be able to finally get the software to not hang there after it's done scanning for channels.As

To continue where I have left off, there were a couple of things missing -- Guild Wars and Call of Duty: World at War. Getting both up and running ought to be a simple task. So let's start with Guild Wars.Guild Wars, having experienced numerous reinstall of Windows, knows how to integrate itself into Windows when it is started up for the first time. The Guild Wars program is coded quite well.

So the day arrived that Microsoft makes Windows 7 Release Candidate available to all. While it was easy to really get the disc image earlier than expected, trusting it is a bit tricky. Without a method and way to really check the validity of the image itself, I took it with a grain of salt. And then Microsoft made Windows 7 available to those who have paid their dues, with a public release

Normally I don’t follow the progress of a software unless it is something that I am waiting on.  This happens to be one of them.  When Microsoft made Windows 7 beta available to everyone, they got much more than they bargained for.  Their server for generating product keys for new users crashed under load and it took Microsoft a few days to get that issue resolved so that their servers can handle

As Guild Wars is about to celebrate its 4th year, players are now shown what’s under the hood for the 4th Anniversary update.  And with it, there are a lot of things to go through.  Some of them are questionable... but others are long in the making.

Recently an update was published to the Call of Duty: World at War game for the PC platform.  That update came bundled with the game’s first Map Pack.  The update also comes with some fixes and changes to make the game play better, or at least that’s the intention of it.  Like many PC games that get updates from developers, there’s a list of changes that went into the game.  People would look at

This ought to sound familiar. As with any online games, I set up small little goals. I've been doing that since Battlefield 2. And when 2142 rolled around, I laid out some goals and awards to achieve. It helps keep me focused and it helps me to continue on playing. Then again, other factors that keeps me playing is the fact that there are friends around to play with. After all, it's a bit

With much anticipation, another April Fool’s Day joke has everyone in Guild Wars becoming a miniaturized and cartoonish Gwen.  Or in the world of anime, we call it Super Deformed or SD for short.  With thousands of SD Gwens running around, it’s too good to pass up various screenshots and video presentations.  2008’s Stickman was okay at best but it didn't leave that much impact.  For 2009, it

I don’t usually mess around with things that goes on the inside.  I’m not much of a people person when it comes to dealing with certain rules, views, and such.  But oddly enough, I am seeing two major conflicts that ended horribly and it’s only the 3rd month of 2009. One of the conflicts involves an individual who happens to be caught with a cheat sitting on that person’s hard drive, through the

A long, long time ago on a server far, far away... Well, it does feel like it was a long time ago.  When the morons at DICE/EA announced that they will be making a new Battlefield game that will be free to play, I became interested in how this will turn out.  What seem to have complicated the matter is that they were probably riding on top of the other game that uses a similar art style: Team

Frankly, I don’t like the Steelers.  It would have been great had the Cardinals won the game.  And they were close to doing it as well.  But fuck, I can’t believe Steelers pulled that one out.  Well, another year, another game, another season gone.  Next up, NBA and baseball.  On second thought… screw baseball.  With the fucking Yankees spending cash out of their asses, I don’t think I even want

So after spending a good chunk to get replacement ear pads that I thought would be universally compatible with all sorts of Audio Technica headphones, it turns out the ones I got is a tad too small for mine.  But I guess that is a risk that I took when I blindly ordered it with next to little detail on whether or not it will fit.  I suppose because of this, I have dinged myself a good chunk.  So

Years ago, I bought my first big headphones.  At least during that time, the phones themselves were expensive.  Why would one bother to go with headphones that costs so much?  That’s a trivial matter.  For some, it is to hear every detail out of the audio that they listen to.  To others, it is to hear the extra detail instead of the poor audio quality that comes with cheap headphones.  This is

So after a week long stay at a small hometown, it was time to return to the bitter cold of the Boston suburbs.  And that means having to go through security checkpoints at the airport, the one procedure that has irritated me since 2001. Despite losing about 45 minutes getting to Washington DC Reagan airport, there was still enough time to go across the airport to connect to the next flight,

One of the joy of playing FPS games is making progress, whether that's improving one's skill online or seeing your progression through ranks and achievements.  Several games offer a way of keeping track of one's progression while playing online against and with other people.  Perhaps the first official system in place that track people's performance was through DICE/EA's Battlefield 2 game.  Its

Little by little I proliferate myself into a variety of places: this blog, in forums, at Guild Wars wiki, and in online gaming.  Since I do not strive to become the best, all I want to do is to see where I stand, how far I can go, and what my limits are. In Battlefield 2, it got me as far enough to gather everything needed to have all the weapons to choose from.  In Battlefield 2142, it got me

As I rack up the points, or at least try to, in the latest Call of Duty series called World at War, I find myself wondering if I'll be able to tolerate going through the entire leveling process all over again. Granted, this is only for those who wanted to play around with the extra custom class slot that's available. Sadly, you don't simply gain the rest in one shot. Each slot is unlocked at a

Having played Call of Duty 4, I wasn't all too thrilled to be playing the new one (World at War).  However, things have surprisingly changed for once.  For starters, the weapons are nearly like night and day.  The map design appear to be considerably better and much more balanced out. Granted, the weapons are designed around the World War II era, ammo is a bit of a major factor to how people

Many years have I not opted to vote personally on a presidential election.  That's usually because I am not much of a voter.  However, I looked up information and gathered what was necessary.  The information was there.  And I just happen to be in the neighborhood in the morning.  I figure I'd stop by and see how the process work and what type of ballot system my state was using at the time.  Yes

I'm not one to celebrate birthdays.  I just find it as just another day like any other day of the week.  As Guild Wars ramps up the Halloween theme to their game, other online games seem to be doing the same in their own way.  Grand Theft Auto IV turns your character into a zombie.  And other intellectual properties run by NCSoft are also decorated or celebrating the spooky holiday.  I, though,

You've seen them.  Those agreements that you have to click "Yes" to in order to install a program, use a program, or use an online service.  Sometimes they're dubbed as EULA but that's not really what all of them are called.  Some are just some sort of service usage agreement where they have certain rules set up so you cannot sue the living shit off of the company or provider.  Yeah, it's pretty

Way back then, I posted on how I was quitting Call of Duty 4 due to how the game was set up when a particular flag was set.  One of those reasons end up being how I cannot dash across a street without dying.  This is often reckless.  But sometimes it is necessary.  Sometimes it is needed in order to mount an offense up, to potentially turn the tide.  This is perhaps one of the more interesting

Something is definitely afoot here. Some time ago, I had issues with trying to get the GeForce 7900GT to run without any problem. That issue still exist today as I tried to use it as a backup video card. What happened? The GeForce 8800GTS (the 640MB version) decided to die on me, right there, as I was about to reboot to do some driver updates. I dunno how it happened but as soon as the

Here's another one. Eventually there's going to be a bunch of them all centered around the loonies that I come in contact with. The topic of the conversation turns out to be in regards to schools. Preference is one thing but downright banishing a type of school is plain stupid. The way I see schools are that each and every one of them offer something for kids and adults to learn. I do not

So recently I acquired glasses that can help me see and read things far. The original intent is to enable me to properly renew my driver's license. However, my poor eyesight has finally caught up to me and they rejected my renewal request, at first. After getting a quick checkup and an order put in to produce new lens, I waited a week for it to arrive. I was called up and notified on the

I am a person without such views who see things as they are, believe what they are, and formulate opinions on my own free will. I say what I wish to say. I do what I wish to do.

There are a lot of shit on TV these days. But once a while, there comes a little gem that makes watching a bit more enjoyable. Still, that doesn't mean it'll drag me back to watching TV on a regular basis.ABC started advertising a new show called Wipeout during the NBA playoffs. Essentially the show is nothing more than a small game show where contestants go through a series of obstacles in an

Kaiyodo's RevolTech series of figures are simply the best thing around. Ever since picking up their first batches of releases which include the Eva-01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion, I've been looking forward to seeing other figures that will eventually make its way into the market. Their latest relases include the popular character Gurren Lagann from the series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

I'm usually out of touch to some of the latest craze. But eventually they make their way to get my attention. And when that happens, it becomes my current hit of the moment. Usually this is a good thing, as I always needed something different to keep things interesting. It could not have come at a better time when things seem too bland in certain areas which I will not mention. It came to my

What seem like an eternity for the day to arrive, the title that I had looked forward to for so long is finally here. Back in the SNES days, a game by the name of Final Fantasy II came out. That game was labeled as the second game only due to it being the only second game to come out in America. However, it was actually the 4th Final Fantasy game ever released for the franchise.Two ports later

Kaiyodo, you are one evil bastard. Recently I acquired two new RevolTech figures from Hobby Link Japan. They're the YF-19 and YF-21 from the Macross Plus series. I got both in order to complement each other as getting one means having to get the other. For a bit now, I have been contemplating on ordering Gurren Lagann, from the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann series. The first simply comes with

Perhaps it's a sign of one's age or proof that a company will milk the franchise down to the very bone. I was alerted of this news by a local buddy of mine. Square Enix, or as I'd like to call it, SquEnix, put up a countdown site. As if the URL did not gave it away, the sound that plays in the background also proves it more. Chrono Trigger is coming.

After a week off from the 'net, I come back lagging behind in a lot of things. Several of my RSS feeds that I subscribe to don't keep track of entries that are more tha a week old or beyond a certain number of entries.

Recently I opted to purchase a new iPod in anticipation for a trip. Originally I intended to take the old iPod (3rd generation) in for a battery replacement. I kept pushing it off until I later figure that the cost may not be worth it. So currently I am a proud owner of an iPod Classic, 80GB in capacity size. The choice in size is obvious as there is absolutely no way I am able to fill it

Sometimes I ponder just what some of these people are thinking. Those are usually left a mystery to the rest of the world since they never come forth. It has been speculated since late April that a certain new title is in the work. There are numerous guesses and speculation as to what it entails. Eventually the debut of the title came.In Guild Wars, the Zaishen title is a title that are

As time slowly rolls by, Guild Wars currently celebrates 3 years of retail time. Since then, a lot has happened from the beginning of it all. There were new content. There were new items. There were new features. There were new lands. Yet despite the limiting capacity of the original game itself, it has fared quite well given the kind of things added to the game itself.
