I got some stuff when I were in Sweden

2 controllers + lightgun + some games for about 80$
King of Fighters ’95 and ’96
Athlete King (Prolly some shitty game)
Vampire Saviour (Darkstalkers :3:3:3)
And a ram upgrade catridge for playing certain games.

And a memory card for ps2.
And not just any memory card, the most “awesomesest” ever.
Photobucket
I mean, look at it, how can anybody resist that. :3
It’s Toro, Sony’s mascot in Japan, I’m curious as to how it ended up in a normal convinience store in Sweden though. >_>

Xbox live arcade games

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I bought Banjo-Tooie and Triggerheart Exelica (Sure, I have it for Dreamcast, but still, HD godness rawr :3)

My sister got a bunny yesterday.

And also, Hiroyuki Miyasako is hilarious. “Attention please!!” :P

I got a new computer table.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Haven’t put it together yet though, I’m waiting for some more stuff to change my room completely.
I’ll take some pictures or something when everything is built and put in place.

And I got a few games from the bargain bin at gamestop, WC2 Battle.net edition, Diablo 1 (Which was 7kr, about 1$ :3) and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – Double Agent.

And I got a PSP to Component\Composite cable, I tried it out on my TV and it works just fine :)
I filmed it, I’m uploading it to YT now.

I’m trying to contact the guys over at surround.no, because I’m gonna a buy some new speakers, but damn, those guys don’t pick up the phone, neither do they answer their email. :(

I sure do like buying stuff, eh?

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
Photobucket

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
Rawr xcalgo 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

:) and also, roar rawr

I and Okami woke up early, ate breakfast on Deli and tried to reach “kongress senteret” before 9, we got there a few minutes late, but didn’t really matter.

Me and a few other people went to get two tv’s at havok’s house.
When we were back and I had properly arranged the chillout spot Jintox still weren’t there.
He came a little bit after the opening show were over. (it was just for the 100 first people to get tickets and crew.

Nekoflaa wrote ⑨ on my cheek

I really liked the AMV they had this time, not that I didn’t like the ones they’ve had before, I just really loved this one, the song and everything. I’ll find out which AMV it was and make a post about it.
Then they showed the three Soracon trailers and talked a little bit about what was gonna happen.
That’s about it, not as big as the Desucon opening show, but still good.

People played a bunch of Super Mario World.
(And Kenneth’s (@neo-tokyo) kid were suprisingly good, especially considering they don’t have a SNES\Super Famicom at home.
I asked him (Kenneth) about it and he just told me it runs in the family. :P

Over to the cosplay competition, I kinda missed it :(
Though I know this happened:
pedobear
Beyond awesome, but since it was on a huge stage in the middle of one of oslo’s largest marketplaces (? I’m not that familiar with oslo, but I think it is) It migh’ve been a daring move, if it goes in some newspapers or something it would’ve been blown up like hell.
Mainly because of incompetence and unfamiliarity with the subject.
But yeah, that would’ve needed more than a little bit of explaining I think.
(oh, and they did it twice)
So what have we learned?
Never send someone cosplaying Pedobear (Even though it’s a girl) and a little girl (unprotected) out on the same stage.

And we had jack sparrow (Which really looked and played like he was the real deal, pretty amazing stuff. And a guy wrapped in two plastic bags, bordering on scary. :P )
I got some more stuff, like fanart. (YoruichiXSoiFon hehehe :3)
More on that in the third post coming up, Tomorrow, since I’m starting to get tired.

So we got home at about 24:00 I think, mostly because we got told to take train number 19 while we really should take number 17, so we ended up taking a later one.

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 )

Bag of eee

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I bought a “Bag of Holding” from thinkgeek, ViD recommended it, and the bag actually seems larger on the inside than on the outside. (Just like they say on their site)
Photobucket

And I bought myself an eee, the 1000h version, sure, the 1000he version is out, but I think the minimal update don’t justify the greater cost.
Photobucket

I’d like a white one, but they didn’t have any left.
So far I’m satisfied, and most of my strategy games works just fine even though I’m fully aware it’s not intended for gaming.

Stuff

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Yeah, I ordered some stuff, I’ll reveal what later this month.

It still bothers me that a game I were going to order is out of stock, Touhou Reitaiki.

I mean, holy shit, look at that cover, it is the most awesome cover for any game, ever.
