Some stuff ive got in the last few days....



So from top to bottom theres a Rabbts 2006 calendar ^_^, Sakura Diares vol 2 US DVD, Chugworth Academy Book 1 (great webcomic btw), Doctor Who Atom Bomb Blues book, Bad Santa UK DVD and of course Mario Kart DS - Which is freaking bloody excellent!!!!!!!!one!!

Anyway, Mario Kart DS rocks, as does the WiFi connection mode which i have been playing a fair bit of.

Oh and as an aside, is my userpic animated or not?

Curse you shiny CD!!!

I brought something I don't usually get yesterday. A anime soundtrack CD, in this case GiTSAC OST+. Virgin just had to have it in, freshly imported from the states on the day I went in there.. Bah.

Good cd though, plus it gave me a listen to the OP/ED of 2nd GIG.

I prefered the ending for 1st GIG to the 2nd one tho....

Anyway I think I ask for the Be Human OST for xmas, mainly for the mad song from the 25th Tachkoma ep...

My first anime con! Well sorta....

Went today to IMAF 05, which was, and till Tuesdat still been held at County Hall, near Waterloo in London.

The main event is a anime/manga inflenced animataion/art competion, some of the entries where bloody amazing. There's also screenings of various anime, I saw the first 3 eps of Planetes again, and it was just as good. I also saw the first ep of Peacemaker, which I probably get on dvd later.

There was also a trade section, which had ADV and MVM selling dvds, Blackwell who had set up a stall overflowing with manga, all 3 for 2, which also applies in store, as well as a Japanese make up company and a couple of toy/model shops. Sweatdrop studios (uk MIC company) where also selling GNs.

So what did I buy?
A lot....

lol

From Blackwell:
Fullmetal Alchemist vol 1-3
xxxHolic vol 4 and 5
.hack//ai buster (novel)

and from Sweatdrop:
fantastic cat vol 1

Best of all was the number of familes there, which made me smile, a bit.

Oh and some people cosplayed belive it or not

Jack Thompson

mm, I love this guy and his comments. He says we gamers are the idiots, yet he cant speak about gamers without resorting to name calling:

"Whom did CNN contact for a comment about Blitz: The League? They didn't contact Doug Lowenstein. They didn't contact the drooling cretins at Penny Arcade. They didn't even contact a single gamer, I guess because they wanted the truth.

They contacted Jack Thompson. Why? Because the "don't confuse me with the facts" gaming community (what's next, the marijuana community?) has nothing rational to say about the marketing of mature games to kids.

The purpose of the law in California is to say this: Parents, it is your job to make the decision on these games. We will not allow retailers to sell adult games to kids behind their parents' backs.

Wise up, gamers. The war was lost by you scofflaws a very long time ago. Even liberal CNN is on my side. Fondly, Jack Thompson

PS: Put down the controller and get a life!"

I already have a life Jackie boy, thank you very much. I think your the one who needs to get one.

Oh and your truth about Blitz was a big fat lie. The NFL didn't refuse to give a license to Midway, they have an exclusive deal with another publisher, a deal that has upset Midway, Microsoft and SEGA.

Oh, i do agree that the selling of aldut games to minors needs to be restrticed, maybe a ssytem like in the UK would work. If the game is rated 15+ or 18+ you have to show proof that you are that age, or else its no sale.

Anyway, if you do happen to come across my blog Jack, then please, comemnt away. Ill be glad to calmly talk this over with you.
