Happy Valentine's Day to me

While I'm talking about figures, I went and picked up my newest figure yesterday: Kazuki Ferrari from Galilei Donna! It's a 1:8 scale figure by Griffon Enterprises, sculpted by TEAM GENESIS (all caps). This was more of an impulse buy, righ…

The Honda Rush

I never wrote about this, but I got the Mio Honda figure last... October when she came out. It's a really nice figure, and just like Uzuki and Rin before her, it's based on her New Generations card.There's not too much in the way of gimmic…

They want to eat a nut of Laerma

I keep thinking my next post will be about AWA 2014 or my Japan trip, but I'm way too lazy to go through my pictures. But I feel like posting something now.Very rarely, I'll decide to pick up a really old game and play it. One time it was …

Uzu-nyan!

I've had her for a while, but I've been slacking on making this post.It's Uzuki! Following in the footsteps of Rin, the Cute iconic Cinderella Girl has a figure now too!She actually comes with an exchangeable face part, and the figure has …

Freedom Wars: First impressions

With the demo of Freedom Wars out, I figured I'd give it a spin to see how it played. The game could be pretty good, but there's some things that based on what I saw, could make me enjoy the game more.First off, the game plays... well, you…

If I had room for a display case...

Earlier this week, my Rin Shibuya figure that I bought from AmiAmi came in. The figure is nothing short of stunning.However, when putting the figure together, I was a little worried because fitting all the extra pieces (the mic, cable, and…

I am gooooooood (eater)!

Seeing as I've just picked up God Eater 2, I figured I'd do a review on the first games. I actually picked up the original God Eater before Burst came out, and the changes between each were pretty... dramatic.The first God Eater was Namco …

Point and click adventures

Once again, I'm spending money on computer equipment. This time, it's a replacement for my mouse.While my A4Tech XL-760H has served me well, I've recently started feeling a bit uncomfortable middle clicking with it. Honestly, I kinda thoug…

At least there's another forwarding service that'll combine shipping now...

Up until now, I've kinda begrudgingly used Celga when I needed to get stuff from multiple places at once. Their commission fees I find a little excessive, their packages take a while to get to you, and their website isn't the best in the w…

Mistaking difficulty for complexity

Alright, well... I guess now that I've properly commented on everything Otakon, it's time for a review. Maybe the first of a few (and no, this is not my opinions on OreImo), but I think the tone for this is going to be largely negative. In…

Sennheiser HD595 first impressions

So, I got to try out my friend's pair of Sennheiser HD595's a few days ago, and while I didn't get to try them for a long time, I figured I'd write down my impressions here. Now, to note... I listened to them through an O2 Objective Amp, w…

Fire and Ice are in the name

Since I'm the curious type, I decided to pick up a CoolerMaster Inferno, another mouse, just to see how much I liked it, and to figure out whether or not my other mouse (the XL-760H) just didn't want to play nice with my DAC.As it turns ou…

7th Dragon 2020 review

So, I've finally beat 7th Dragon 2020, and when I say beat, I mean completely beat - I've pretty much got a feel for all the classes and how they work as I went through six different team configurations (playing each of the five classes at…

Two mice for two hours - first impressions on budget gaming mice

Looks like in the past year, I've been coming across cases where my equipment just up and dies, or becomes obsolete.It started with my Sony Optiarc CD drive when I installed Windows 7 - apparently Windows didn't like it or it didn't like W…

Opinions on Grand Knights History

So, after putting in more hours in Grand Knights History than I care to publicly disclose, I finally beat the game. Part of what took so long was my absolute refusal to beat the game with anything less than a top tier team. In order to mak…

Phones for a phone

After being on the phone in a noisy KFC and barely hearing anything, I thought it was about time I got some cheaper earbuds exclusively for use with my phone.Thing is, back when I got my NuForces, I had the option of getting the NE-7's ins…

Final Fantasy Tactics A2

Finally beat this game, after 271 quests and... what is probably 149 hours and 40 minutes. Yes, this means I'm going to blow off steam. Hard mode made dispatching a pain, so I never really dispatched any quests. There's two quests you have…

Be the Last One

So, I beat Last Ranker today. How'd I feel about it? Excellent game. Really good.As far as plot goes... think movie plot. Light, not deep at all, coupled with the fact that there are a few restraints: you can never stop needing to increase…
