Okay, so this has been in for a while now, but sometime around... I dunno the 7th or the 8th, I got a nice little package from JShoppers. I ordered both limited editions of Weiss Schwarz Portable and 7th Dragon 2020, and they came in then.…

So, I was wondering what my blog looked like when viewed with a mobile device. I could have just dragged out a smartphone and looked at it, but I decided to be a little adventurous.As it turns out, the way most websites determine what vers…

We all knew this would be coming, but here's the official announcement: 876Pro idols are going to be in Idolmaster 2 (PS3), starting with Ai.

Okay, so apparently HDMI (or part of it, at least) can be implemented within the PS3 internally before it throws it out to the HDMI port. A firmware upgrade last year gave it the ability to process 3D video internally before putting it on …

Okay, well I was thinking a bit after my last post, and I realized something: HDMI 1.4 is kinda new as far as a standard goes. In fact, it was made official in 2009.Now, I did say that you need an HDMI switch with HDMI 1.4 in order to outp…

So, I finally got my new monitor, a BenQ G2222HDL, and I almost... almost have everything I need. I just realized I was missing one thing.When I first ran my experiment, I bought about everything I needed to make my future setup work. Cabl…

Well, surprise of surprises, my Samsung SyncMaster 204B isn't HDCP compatible.So, I was thinking a few weeks ago that I could stop using my XCM Mega-Cool VGA Box, since it's pretty weak as far as 480p signals go. I mean, I've seen what it …

So, I beat Devil May Cry 4 on Hard mode the other day.The amount of challenge in that mode was pretty good, I think, except for the mission everyone hates (Mission 18). Fighting the Savior is just so dumb. Other than that, most missions di…

So, I started another run through Devil May Cry 4 the other day, hoping to get through it on Hard. Hard is a challenge, yes, but as of right now, I would say it's not that difficult per se...... Except when the game throws a surprise Blitz…

Alright, I finally did it.I preordered the Limited Edition of 7th Dragon 2020, and the Limited Edition of Weiss Schwarz Portable Boost Schwarz. Not too sure why I got the second one, probably because I know someone else getting it and don'…

My Nuforce NE-6's, after a year of service, finally died on 22 October, 2011. I don't know, this seems odd that they'd do that only after a year, and I don't think I mistreated them. The cord's short enough that my computer chair can't rea…

So, I've known about this for a while, but I've been a little busy so I haven't actually posted this up.On 12 October, 2011, Dennis Ritchie was found in his home in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, having passed away from causes that have bee…

When was the last time I did something like this? http://www.mediafire.com/?ob8io2b6z808x4sOnly one chapter for now, I'm having trouble squeezing in the time to do this stuff. There were times when I could only do two pages a day... that s…

Look at what came in the mail yesterday!My brand new bokutou (apparently) imported directly from Japan. At least, that's what they said on the site. Smooth, no fear of splintering at all (until I start hitting things with it), and makes a …

Okay, so the last two games he was supposed to have got cancelled, and he's not appearing in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, so something cool's gotta happen to one of our favorite old-school Capcom heroes, right?http://www.blog.amiami.com/amiblo/201…

Whoa, the dollar is up today! It's 77.22 yen to the dollar, as opposed to 76 or so.... Yeah, I remember the days of 120 yen to the dollar. Those were good times. DVDs in Japan cost only 32 dollars!But let's talk about something more substa…

Okay, so now that I realize that alignments have all but rendered my Totomono run useless (it may be a game, but I still have issues with killing things that don't want to attack me to change alignments), I'm thinking of stepping off the g…

So, I guess after three years of the game being out, I finally got through the only portion of Razing Storm I haven't gotten to yet (the first stage and the beginning of the second), and I have to say...... this game is short, and it is ac…

Yesterday, a package came from Japan and more or less completed the literary collection of one of my favorite series ever.Miyuki Miyabe's Brave Story, or rather the story turned into a manga series by Youichirou Ono, ranks among my most fa…

So, Totomono is going... slowly. Very slowly, but then I dropped 140+ hours on Final Fantasy Tactics A2, so I guess it's par for the course for me.It's a classic enough game, and if you were into the whole dungeon crawler thing back in the…

Programming in XNA, it seems like you subclass off Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game, and that... I guess is expected to contain a bunch of basic objects, like a GraphicsDeviceManager. The GraphicsDeviceManager also has some functions it uses t…

So, there's been another game I've been thinking of getting lately, and it doesn't help that the main page for the game plays a familiar sounding tune to my ears.Hitoshi Sakimoto does the music for Grand Knights History. Apparently him and…

Kirino got tired of playing God Eater Burst.It's like Kotori, except with robots.

So, we all learn about stacks in programming, but when are they used?More than you might think, as it turns out. Pick up a video game, and you'll probably see this all happening behind the scenes everywhere. You start with the title screen…

So, there've been more 7th Dragon updates as of late, I guess since we're getting closer to release. There've been some updates on the site, and with the small gameplay footage we're getting, it looks like we're dealing with a 3 person par…

Aside from the chocolate Riesens and Starbursts that weren't being sold at Otakon (even though they're the best snacks in the world), no one was selling the limited editions of the Dearly Stars manga, which is understandable since it had o…

So, the mail came in yesterday with a package from Japan.Pictured here is the... Animate version (I think) of the limited edition of Idolm@ster relations, volume 1. Also, a thing of car shades in the shape of Kirino from OreImo, which I in…

Okay, well Otakon has come and gone, and it was a pretty good con, I guess. I spent a lot of time waiting in line for a guest's signing, though... honestly, there was a lot of waiting in line.There are a few autograph sessions I missed. Fi…

Back from Otakon, and I have to say that though it wasn't as good as certain people made it out to be, it was still pretty cool. The spoils and swag... were mainly doujin music CDs. I picked up an artbook and an anime episode guide, two do…
