Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation

Thu, 09 Nov 2006 14:28:38 GMT

So I just began reading the book yesterday, up to page 23. It was only a brief bit, really.

The book so far is in my mind, absolutely brilliant. There hasn't been much shown, but I've already seen minor characters that are pretty damn awesome.

Also, even though I'm only 23 pages into the book, most of those having been of an introduction and not apart of the story, I've already learned of a lot of minor technologies that are never elaborated on in the anime or on the Wikipedia articles. It also goes through some detail on how they work, like how laser scope doesn't actually see what they're looking at, but senses what it's able to through the Minovsky interferance, then using inference and extrapolation techniques, outputs as detailed a computer generated image as it is able to.

As a result, if you tried to spy on a suit that's fairly new or a "secret", and your Laser system does not have any information on it, the best you'll get is a sillouette. Well, this may have been represented before, but I never knew about it.

Acquiring Wii plans finalized

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 01:07:37 GMT

On Sunday, November 19th, 2006, I will arrive at Lansdowne Mall at around 8-9, and will wait (in or out of line) until 11, which is Best Buy's opening time that day. There's a possibility I'll have friends to help entertain me during that time. I'll have my PSP and DS with me, I'll probably print out the Valkyrie guide to help me there.

I'll have a dangerously high amount of cash on hand.

After the purchase is finished, which I estimate to be around lunch time, I'll bus or somehow get to Richmond Centre, eat lunch at IHOP and grab my games at EB.

That's the plan right now, anyhow~

Wii!

So I was totally checking out what was up with preorders around. It's pretty much definite that I'll have to buy it with no insurance. It'll be my first real experience lining up for something :3

I'm both exciting and somewhat dreading it.

I'll probably end up bringing Phoenix Wright and Trauma for my wait. It seems like there's a good chance I'll be celebrating the day with a bunch of friends, meaning I'll want to max out the number of controller-nunchuk combos I have.

It shall be great, more info when I have it.

A so called meme

Some sort of Abyss thing:

01. Favorite Character Overall and Why
Huhu, Anise Tatlin. Interesting loli character, rather different from the usual. Shows some interesting ambitions near where I've stopped off. A Puppeteer's fighting style is superior. Something I would use myself :3 And orange is totally in.

02. Least Favorite Character Overall and Why
I'd have to say have to say Tear. It's such an ugly business having your character handcuffed to some long haired, soldier girl. She's probably the plainest of the bunch, as far as the main 6 characters went. Nice singing voice, but really, her only out-of-place quirk (her love of cuteness) is pretty weak compared to the ones of others.

03. Favorite WTF/Gay-innuendo Moment and Why
Keke. I liked it when Jade just stood there in one of those skits and went, "*blush*". Totally caught me off guard. His "torturing" of Saphir in that one scene at Keterburg was pretty questionable too, but chuckle worthy.

04. Favorite Overall Male Character (PC or NPC)
I'd say Jade. It was so badass when he was spinning his glasses on one finger while calmly debating with Van about their ideals. Plus, he has the best Mystic Arte lines. And the best costumes. Not to mention, he's so jaded.

05. Favorite Overall Female Character (PC or NPC)
It'd be redundant to mention Anise again, so let's go with Brigadier General Cecille. Fun NPC, looks like SEIBAAAAA. Military woman in black and red uniform. Need I say more?

06. Favorite Artes
Including FOF and Mystic Artes, I really like Gungnir A Go Go, Mystic Cage, Bloody Howling, Swallow Fury and I'd probably love Fever Time if I ever did it.

07. Most Annoying Character EVAR
I dunno, if I had to say, I'd probably pick out the Dark Wings. I just really want to smash them, good for nothing.

08. Characters you once disliked but now like
Jade and Natalia. Ion too, I suppose.

09. Favorite Pairing(s)
Brigadier General Cecille and General Frings <3 Kek. But more seriously, the Guy x Anise pairing has tickled my fancy. But best pairing ever, Jade x Glasses. Zomg. Oh, and Arietta x Anise :D

10. Least Favorite Pairings
Tear x Luke, Guy x Natalia and the "platonic" Jade x Anise. All the yaoi pairings are especially odious.

11. Best Character Designs in Your Opinion
Arietta, Anise, Jade, Brigadier General Cecille! SEIBAAAAA.

12. Favorite Dungeon Thus Far
Hm, the Absorbtion Gate where the party was split into three was pretty cool.

13. Favorite City Thus Far
Engeve, St. Binah, Sheridan and Belkend are the obvious choices.

14. Do Luke's Abs of Steel Distract You?
They amuse me, but certainly don't distract. I never really even notice them, the cover aside.

15. True or False: Guy's Gynophobia is just the Coolest Thing Ever
It was one of the more dynamic parts of his character. He'd be kinda boring without it.

16. What are Your Thoughts on Mieu?
Useful.

17. Who Deserves to Die a Thousand Deaths?
Legretta, Sync and the Ant Lion Man. Dist's robots too, though not Dist himself.

18. True or False: Mohs is a Castrati.
Not really, just excitable.

19. Peony vs. Ingobert.
Ingobert is a superior Monarch, but Peony is choice as a Puppet leader, whilst Jade rules from the shadows.

20. Tokunaga vs. Mieu
Tokunaga, easily.

19. Does the fact that Guy's voiced by Vash the Stampede mean anything at all to you?
Certainly makes him more memorable.

20. Then how about the fact that he's voiced by a former Power Ranger?
It's Mighty Gynophobian' Time!

21. Favorite Skit(s) Thus Far
Where they think Jade has air conditioning in his clothes. And various ones with Jade and Anise in them.

22. True or False: Largo's weapon is overcompensation.
Oh, he wouldn't have gotten any of he was. So I'll say false.

23. Any parts that made you cry, or get teary-eyed?
Not really. Maybe the part with Ion made me just a tad.

24. Would you want Abyss to continue as a series? (Tee hee, TotA-2 lol)
If I could see Anise all grown up~

25. Anything you would change about the game if you could?
I'd wipe off all the annoying, seemingly set in stone relationship and have them put in place a dynamic relationship system, which would affect the dialogue and story line, which is run by your choices, small and large. More development of NPC characters like Brigadier General Cecille and maybe have it possible to go through the game multiple times, but in another character's shoes (so you could go through the game as Anise or Jade, etc. I'd expect that you'd have to beat the game with such and such character first, though). It'd be awesome :D

School kicking my ass.

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 15:18:06 GMT

My struggle against my homework reminds me of my struggle as Soviet Russia against Nazi Germany in this one strategy game I have with loli military commanders. The struggle was difficult, I was barely holding my border (winter was coming, which severely cripples my ability to send reinforcements, though it also stops them dead). Of course, I suppose I was a bit over ambitious. My borders are quite a bit more than what the Soviets at that point in the war and I handily deflected the Barbossa Invasion, among other things. But yeah, my general inability at playing the game (I can't understand the manual, for the most part. Wholly just guessing and experimenting during the peace with Germany. And after, my infrastructure was very weak and my aging force of tank along with slow generation of research points (have to build or upgrade the research centers to increase how much you get, which I did almost none of) was crippling and made things hard. Only thing I had going for me was just sheer numbers of weak tanks, but that didn't help much since I had such a large border and was, as a result, thinly spread. My air force was also crappy, since I neglected building air bases.

Anyhow, the struggle was hard and difficult, especially against the Germans who had huge power as far as making more units (they held more land), they had more resources in general, allies (the Allies were sitting on there hands, I swear), managed researching a lot better and had greatly superior military units. With the overpowering of Denmark, which freed a ton of troops up, I was having trouble against them. A lot of trouble. Similarly with my homework. It's kicking my ass plain and simple because I have terrible time management skills and hold a lot of it in contempt for being rather pointless and a waste of time. Luckily, my math class is easy so less grief in that respect. Well, it isn't easy, but I find the teacher to be reasonable as far as his philosophy towards teaching. "I don't give you work to keep you busy. I just assign enough so you'll understand it." He never assigns many questions and usually, I'll be finished in class with time to spare. He only collects our homework sometimes (for completion marks) and with our worksheets (textbook shortage), he usually just prints the answers in the back. "You only cheat yourself when you cheat on work." Or something like that. He's also pretty cool, humour wise.

"I don't like these mechanical pencils. To make the lead come out, you have to push the back. I like the ones where you click the ones on the side. 'But Mr. Smith! Why are you talking about mechanical pencils? We want to learn something new, exciting and interesting!' No, no, and no. Today, we only have old, boring, review. Oh, but don't worry, we'll learn something new, exciting and interesting next week."

But yeah, he's an old teacher with the cheesy jokes that make me chuckle.

There's more funny stuff, but it's difficult to convey in words. But he has talked about things like math teacher utility belts and using those slip-on, car wiping things to erase things on his white board instead of the towels. To just whip it out on his right hand (he's left handed) and "Foom foom foom" to erase the work.

But yeah, Math class has been enjoyable. PE's okay. This planning stuff for my portfolio is very depressing, however. Horribly depressing. It sucks.

And Socials Class. I couldn't get an awesome teacher. Instead, I get this PE teacher who was a professional soccer player in Scotland. The guy's nice and all and I enjoy his allowing us to eat in class. But jesus, I hate this bull crap.

Jay is a whore for amineh gewds 2 and Never Forget: 08/21/06 - Double feature

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 00:40:42 GMT

Alright, lets do this chronologically, like near the beginning of last week if memory serves, I had the extreme pleasure of shopping for anime figures. I've bought a few between then and the last time I reported also. Anyhow, I sort of whored myself out and bot a whole bunch. I'm terrible and spent so much money, but hobbies will be hobbies. Here's a full picture of my whole rack. I'll take any requests for a better shot of any of the figures, though I don't have a very good set up for taking photos.

The new ones, since my last update, going from left to right are:
Rin Tohsaka dodging Berserker's grab, both from Fate/stay Night; Misuzu from AIR with Sora--the crow--also from AIR on her arm; the two girls up front are Mecha Musume figures, which are basically some crazed conglomerate of neko girls, lolis and war planes (I especially like the one of the British Valentine): the one on the left is Britain's Valentine while the one on the right is Russia's P-60; further to the right in front, are Satoko, Rika and Mion all of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (alternatively, Casey&friends XD), each being a little scene that shows their character and has them saying something; behind the trio on the left is Saber from Fate/stay Night dressed in her casual clothes from Fate/stay Night Hollow ataraxia, her skirt seems movable but I don't need a skirtless Saber so I dare not disturb the peace; right of Saber is an Alvis E. Hamilton of Last Exile fame, a figure I like very much since it's incredibly well done--especially the clothing folds--not to mention she's adorable; and finally, last but definitely not least, Henrietta of Gunslinger Girl fame sporting her Amati violin case (most likely containing her Fabrique Nationale P90 SMG) held in her right hand and also, probably unclear in the picture, a SIG Sauer P239 in her left hand. The rest you've all seen before, I'm quite sure.

Now! Onto the next item. Two days ago, the day had gone by fairly typically. However, the day of August 21st, 2006 truly started at around 7:30, when I met Angela Melick (better known as spikecomix or Jam of WastedTalent or www.spikecomix.com), David Stanworth (Better known as Snafu Dave of Snafu Comics fame) and JJ of Filibuster Cartoons, whose name I know not beyond JJ, at Aberdeen Center Mall's large fountain. We ate dinner together at one 7th Heaven Cafe, where we talked a lot and lots of cool hanging out-ness happened. Before that though, they handed me some leftover prints they had for free, because well, they probably wouldn't be able to sell them at that point as the con was over. They went to the Bakery and got some Chinese-Style baked goods before we headed up for dinner. Much talking was done. I can't quite remember what JJ had, but I myself had a Clam chowder, caesar salad and a 12oz. Ribeye steak on a "hot plate" with Black pepper sauce (costing an approximate total of $24 CAD after tax, which is pretty damn cheap considering all the food and the quality. Angela had the ham and egg on rice and finally, Dave splurged a little by treating him to exotic cuisine: Escargot au Gratin, Russian Borscht and an order of the Ox Tail in Spanish sauce w/ spagetti. JJ had some type of curry. For drinks, JJ just drank water I think while I had a Honey dew melon juice and the other two Snafu-ers had hot coke. Y'know, Coca Cola, but hot. Which is good, supposedly.

So yes, we finished up dinner, wandered around a bit before--by my grace and wisdom--toddled over to a nice Bubble Tea place for "dessert". Angela did a capsule gashapon thing and won a dolphin! :D The one she wanted, which was awesome. We proceeded to fiddle around and trying to get the strap thing secured onto her cellphone which apparently is designed to aggravate people who try to attach things to it Honger style. We got our drinks, which Dave fetched. I forget what JJ had, it was I think, Honey dew melon thing of some sort. It had pearls. Angela had this snow drop sort of things. Dave had a mango thingy while I had a simple, cold, Earl Grey milk tea. I was the only one who didn't actually get pearls in my drink, but that's because pearls always pissed me off. So yes, woot. I get driven home and abandoned the party, as they could drive and I couldn't. They made the typical comments of "Wow" about my house, which happens a lot. According to Jam, they had a lot of trouble trying to navigate Richmond's "guai lo trapping streets", as I've termed them (they said gaijin, but that wasn't Chinese enough).

So yes, arrive at home and I'm thinking it's the most awesome day of quite possibly the whole year and definitely the highlight of summer. But it gets better. Now, getting home I lay down the prints on my bed, planning to get them onto my wall later and y'know, sit around doing my usual computer stuff. I arrived home at maybe half an hour into 10 pm. So my mom knocks on my door, standing in my doorway (which is very close to where I sit during "computer time") holding up this sky blue shirt and asking whether it's mine or my fathers. I shrug and try to get back to my business but my mom doesn't let me. I get up and take a look at the shirt and to my surprise--an extremely good surprise--, the front of the shirt featured a large Neo-Zeon Emblem (the second one) and read:

Mobile Suit
GUNDAM
Char's Counterattack

I was wow'd and said I didn't care. I had to have it. Apparently my mother dug it out of the laundry somewheres.

So yes, that marked of quite possibly the best day of this year and the definite highlight of my Summer, which had been fairly cool. Would've been cooler if I could've met Nati, but ah well. Many chances.

Here is the picture of the day's memorabilia:
