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”)

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.

It was so cheap, couldn’t not buy it. :P

And I needed a new bookmark, so yeah.

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

So yeah, saturday, jrock night +more

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

I picked up a lot of stuff which I’ll cover in another post. (I’ll divide this weekend into 3 posts)

I met up with staiain and nekoflaa (stian and thomas) at Outland where we walked around for quite some time. I bought some mangas (And I influenced nekoflaa to buy some of them too, though he bought 10+ mangas or something, he used alot of money on it atleast :P ), more on which ones later.

Outside we found a card from “Oslo anonymous” which said go to “youfoundthecard.com”
Pretty hilarious.

Then we went to Neo-Tokyo which recently moved to “Arkaden”, a shopping center of sorts.
I picked up most of the stuff, except for one thing which hadn’t arrived yet.
Then we went to burger king, where we ate and leeched of their open internet connection. :3 We played stepmania on my eee and tried out a new pair of headphones.
Then we went over to where jrock night were being held.

We watched The Lillith perform (a danish “jrock band” playing mostly cover songs), while I and Nekoflaa’s sister where “leashed to eachother”, literally.
I’m not really keen on them, the reason I’m there is more for the social experience, hanging out with friends and stuff.
Though I really liked the first non-cover song they played, can’t remember what it was called though.

Then I slept over at okami’s sister’s appartment.
We watched a bunch of kpop\jpop bands on youtube and the whole Rain vs. Stephen Colbert feud (Which awesomely enough ends with a game of DDR :P )

Mayhem – Eggs and other songs

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

I want this album http://vulpvibe.bigcartel.com/product/eggs-and-other-songs
But they’re taking so long to restock, arrggh.
I even made an acronym for the girl on the cover already, Totally Hawt Anthromorphic Shark Chick, or THASC for short.

Eat more lead

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Well, the most awesome thing ever
*Spoiler*

Direct FF7 reference

Most people would probably look at it and think, yeah, FF reference, and some will get it at once.
It’s all in the name, Altos Tratus = Altostratus which is some kind of cloud (Get it) if my memory serves me right.
He communicates through speech bubbles which I find kind of funny.
I wonder what it says on the side though, damn you kanji.
And Matt Hazard hates ellipses apparently.

And I played some Fuel, and holy shit this game is huge.

Photobucket

See that red arrow, that stretch took me somewhere in between 1-2 hours at an average of 70 Mph (about 105 Km/h I think)
And the other picture is of the whole map, it’s so huge.

Who said norway is always cold and snowy?

Photobucket

-36 degrees celsius, that’s 98 Fahrenheit for you US ppl.
-I finally reached 10000 gamerscore on xbox live.
-Jazzin’ Park is awesome.
-And last but not least, the tip of a shoelace is called an aglet.

Falconer

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Well, I bought “The Sceptre of Deception” by Falconer, and I must say, it’s pretty bad in my opinion, I prefer “Northwind”. (Soft melodic metal)
Oh, and fun fact, I have a distant relative in that band.
