A long needed update

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Got a new graphics card at The Gathering ’10
Photobucket

And a bunch of manga.
Let’s start of with Tsuiteru Kanojo (ツいてる彼女), I didn’t actually mean to buy this one, but the site I bought from didn’t have any pictures, and wrote the name only in romaji.
I actually wanted Tsuiteru Kanojo (ツイてるカノジョ)
See that, exact same fucking romanization, so when the site only wrote the title in romaji, how the fuck should I know there where two mangas with the same title. >_>
Haven’t read it yet though, let’s just hope it’s good.

Second, Nana to Kaoru (ナナとカオル), this book be quite interesting. (Sidenote: this is not hentai, despite what the cover would make you think.)
I’m guessing there will be about 5 volumes, so still a bit to go.
Photobucket

And again, yes, cpmasked.
I have now realized I must stook up on this stuff before an eventual ban.
There probably won’t be one, but one can never be to careful.
At least if you consider all those bat shit insane feminist groups out there.
Photobucket

And Urusei Yatsura (うる星やつら)\Takahashi Rumiko (高橋 留美子) Illustration book
Rumiko is also the mangaka for hit series like Ranma 1/2 Maison Ikkoku and Inuyasha, should you think anything looks familiar.
So here, have a shitstorm of high-res pictures.

So what’s been happening

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Well, I “decorated” my wall with some of my better drawings, and some drawing I didn’t do. (the colored one)
Photobucket

I’ve ordered more stuff (yeah, I like ordering stuff)
And I’ve watched the first season of Genshiken.
I’ve played Tales of Vesperia for 20+ hours. (Released in PAL territories a year after release in the US? really. I didn’t think it was that hard to translate it from english to…. english >_>)
I have to finish it again the day I get myself an PS3 though, since the x360 version is seriously lacking in the pirateloli department. *rage* (I’ve known this for quite some time, but it still pisses me off.)
And I’ll probably get the japanese version, for better voices. (Though I have to admit, the english voices aren’t THAT bad)
And screw Karol (?), I think that’s his name, I hate him so much I can’t even bother remembering his name. (I usually call him Karlos)
Why remove my pirateloli and keep the most annoying kid of all time?

Oh, and go watch Nostalgia Critic’s Transformers 2 review.
Here
I really don’t care for tranformers, but the review is still awesome.

And I noticed that MegaMari (that one game I got a week ago) reads “Maid in Saitama” instead of “Made in Saitama”, which I find kind of hilarious.

On a sidenote: I’m just barely surviving with it being like 40 degrees (C) every day, who said norway is cold all the time? >_>

Jrock night\Soracon buying spree

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

So yeah, revealing most of what I ordered
First of, touhou games :3
The official ones (which were in stock)
Touhou 7 – Perfect Cherry Blossom
Touhou 8 – Imperishable Night
Touhou 9 – Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Touhou 9.5 – Shoot the Bullet
Touhou 11 – Mountain of Faith

Too bad Embodiment of a Scarlet Devil weren’t in stock, it’s my favorite, and the first non-pc-98 touhou game.

And I got two Touhou spin-offs, Megamari (Like Megaman, just with a touhou theme\ characters\music, and まとめの音楽集その1 by “Moon Goddess”)
Photobucket
Photobucket
Kinda dark picture, but what is haruhi characters doing on the cover…
And why does this page list it as a book?

http://doujinshi.mugimugi.org/book/145552/

It sure as hell doesn’t look like one, atleast mine does look an awful lot like a CD. >_>

Then there’s just one spin-off to go, it’s on its way, more on that when I get it.
Whatever, moving on…

A new headset, yes, I have one from Koss and one pair of Steelseries, but I wanted some smaller ones, I figured I should get some which are a little bit “exotic” or atleast unusual in comparison to what people around here usually have.
So I decided on XCalgo, some japanese brand, I noticed them over at akibaharanews some time ago and they looked pretty cool.
Here’s a GIF

Hmmmmmmmm…………

:)

I also got some manga, I don’t like to buy long series, I will make exceptions though, for series I really like, like Kare Kano and Urutsei Yatsura :3

First of we have:
Tenchi Muyo: Sasami Stories
It’s just a one shot, and it was cheap, so I thought “why not?”
Photobucket

Next one:
Kare Kano
Photobucket
I thought there were just like 1 book, but apparently there’s 21 volumes (IIRC)
I love mangas like this and Lovely Complex, I don’t know why, but these are now both amongst my all-time favorites.
At about 600 pages, this is huge.
Comparison shot:
Photobucket

Last but not least, another random buy. (I influenced Nekoflaa to buy it too :P )
Mao-Chan (By Ran and Ken Akamatsu (Of Love Hina fame, one of the characters even bears a striking resemblance to Narusegawa from Love Hina))
Wikipedia says 4 volumes, but my version is just two slightly larger volumes. (There seems to be somewhere in between 100 and 200 extra pages with info and a side-story)
Photobucket

Comparison shot again.
Photobucket
It was so cheap, couldn’t not buy it. :P

And I needed a new bookmark, so yeah.
Photobucket
Photobucket

And I got some YoruichiXSoifon fanart. :3
Photobucket
That means I didn’t draw it.
I actually haven’t drawn anything in quite a while, still, a bunch of girls requested that I’d join Deviantart, which I now consider doing.

So yeah, I think this be it. :3
