Got some more stuff today.
First off, and most importanly i got Fullmetal Alchemist volume 2!!

After the long delay due to THE FIRE I couldnt wait to see this!


Also, Sony sent me my free copy of spider-man 2 on UMD.


Finally i got this weird DS game called "Touch de Rakushou! Pachi-Slot Sengen: Rio de Carnival"
Its one of them Gambling games the Japanese love so much, with a load of ecchi mini games too.


That girl on the cover is "Rio", she appears on load of Pacchinki (hope that seplt right) machines in Japan.


That sticker sheet on the left lets you customise your DS. May use, or may keep em unused.

Princess Ai Fell to Earth figure

Finally, it arrived. I won this on ebay a couple of weeks back now.
Anyway pics!

Heres it is in the box.


Unwrapped. Seems silly to give a Ai manga sampler with it tho.


Up close. its very good figure, tho unlike Japanese release ones theres no chance of seeing her panties.

hehe

Just for fun, heres most of my anime/manga figures:




Yeah they are all female, heh. And yes thats 3 Asuka (NGE) figures. I have one more thats smaller elsewhere.

Pissed off right now - update

Looks like ive gotta travel up there tomorrow to sort everything out.

Joy. Guess ill combine a trip to Oxford Street with this, ill pick up a Princess Ai 2006 calendar while im in Borders (forgot to get that while i was down there yesterday)

Very, Very pissed off right now

Bloody University Housing Office. Last night they emailed me saying that ive got a place in the halls of residence, and that they will have to fax a contract over. Well we dont have a fax machine at home, so i said fax it to my dad at work, TODAY only (hes off the rest of the week, mums going into hospital)

Got another email today saying the contract will be faxed over TOMORROW and i have to sign it and FAX IT BACK!!!!!

HOW THE FUCK DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DO THAT!!!!

Damn it. Guess I will have to waste 4 hours a day travelling to and from uni now....

Todays Stuff

Today i did a test trip to uni. just to see how long it will take me if i have to travel from home each day. I may not need to anymore, but i wont say any more on that... Yet....

Anyway, after my test trip (leave house at 6:40, got there at 8:30...... SUCKS) I went to Oxford Street. First stop Borders. Hoped they would have the other 2 Doctor Who books i needed from the new titles, but they didnt.

However i did get these:

Thats a random Doctor Who book (The Fall of Yquatine) which i only got cus it was £1.99 and vol 5 of Ai Yori Aoshi, which strangly was shrinkwrapped. Weird, cus the first 4 volumes wernt.

Anyway, i also went into HMV to see what anime they had in this week. Seems MVMs titles have been delayed again but i did get Stratos 4 Flight 3 (final volume!)

I also picked up a Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama, Shada (which was meant to be a TV serial by Douglas Adams, but it was never made cus of a Strike)

Have to give a thumbs up to the man who served me, he was nice unlike most checkout workers.

Case Who? Doctor Closed?



A silly title i know, but it ties in to Case Closed vol 3 (UK Printing) and one of the latest Doctor Who books, The Stealers of Dreams.

Need to pick up the other 2 of the new Doctor Who books.

Todays Stuff



Theres my new Memory card for my PSP, plus Rizelmine, which is a one volume manga.
Very cute artwork!

Finally got a bigger memory card for my PSP today. 512MB.
Downloaded the wipeout Pure Gamma pack, which has 4 levels, 2 craft and 2 more tourys. Very good stuff, tho the download makes the memory card get a bit warm....

I got my Automator workflow to work (see earlier entry), seems like its a bug in Automator. Had to activate the Show Actions when Run option for each part of the workflow... Annoying.

Talking of Annoying, the PSPs battery life (or lack of) is getting on my nerves a bit. 4th time ive charged it now O_o

The wallpaper....

Here it is. I didnt crop it quite right, but thats essentially what i have on my PSP right now.



Thats Eclair's (from Kiddy Grade) cleavage, lol. Slightly perverted i guess but meh. Its a nice pic.

I finally got my replacement volume 4 of Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, plus those nice guys at Manga Ent/Anchor Bay sent a live action film too.

Nice of em, even tho i doubt i watch it.

Dear Mr the iPod sucks.

Yes we all get that you dont like the iPod. You dont have to keep bringing it up in every thread about iPods or iTunes.
Thank You

So long, and thanks for all the fish / So sad that it should come to this

*hums the opening theme from HHGTTG*

Damn that song really digs it way into your head.

Anyway, i got some more UMD movies for my PSP today. I didnt think i would get that many, heh.


Dodgeball and Pirates of the Caribbean. I have both of em on dvd already too, lol.



Heres the back of each UMD, for no real reason.

Plus i changed my wallpaper on my PSP. Wont post a pic, but its very nice!

grrrr, annoyed

So today I thought, why don't I make a Automator workflow to help transfer music files from my iTunes Library to my PSP. Now it works just like I want it to when I press the run button in Automator, (you select some music in iTunes, then any Music Store files are filtered out, they are copied to the correct folder and .m4a files are renamed to .mp4 cus of Sonys crappy AAC support).

But when I try to make a stand alone application or a script file it just doesn't work. GRRR. Cant figure out WHY!!!

Ar well, in slightly less annoyed news I got Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on DVD yesterday! Loved the film when I saw it in the cinema, so I cant wait to see it.

Piccy:


Theres some thing exclusive to the UK release too... An extra disc.

Oh and I also tried putting a wallpaper on the PSP. Works really well. Heres what's on mine right now:

That's a pic of Puffy AmiYumi from a concert in Japan (I think, lol)

More PSP games!

Well one. Metal Gear Ac!d to be exact. Havent played it yet tho. Damn wipEout taking up my time.

I also picked up a UMD movie today, Transformers the movie (yes... I like TF, kay?)


You can see the slight differences between a UMD movie, and a PSP game.

For some reason, heres a pic of all my DS and PSP games. Im using a LOTR statue as a bookend.

PSP

My dad went into Tesco of all places and got me a PSP and wipeout Pure!


Theres the console plus WP and the demo disc. The demo disc has some game demos ( i think...) plus a movie trailer (for Spiderman 2, which ill be getting for free) and some movie vids. Videos look fecking awesome!! Its AS good as a dvd, if not better (imo)

Now lets hope some anime UMDs come out in the UK.


Theres my DS saying hi to the new "member of the family". You can see the difference in size between the DS and the PSP, and the DS and PSP games.

Games and the Doctor


Another Dcotor Who dvd (this its a Jon Pertwee serial), and two games. Alien Hominid ive been meening to get for a while, and since it was cheap on play.com, i got it. Good fun!

Brute Force... Well it was cheap. Its an OK game. Could of done with some proper Xbox LIVE modes. DLC is not full LIVE...

Talking of Xbox LIVE, ive downloaded the Maptacular Pack for Halo 2 nows its free. 5 maps, for the price of zero. Me likey!! Good maps too. Love the Gemini level, with the hologram of a Halo in the main room! (plus a tree, for some reason).

Anyway, if any readers fancy playing me on Halo 2 or any other xbox live games ive got (ill put up a list later) my Gamertag is PureCrazyGamer
