New avatar, banner, sig, anime list!

I thought it was time to make some new ones, so I spent the last 12 hours on it.

Due to Gamespot Wide going live JUST after i put up my header I havn't had time to work out the bugs with the new layout, so go to TV.com to see how my header looks.

This time I don't have a specific theme.

MyAnimeList (I really like this anime list)

Here are some behind the scenes pics:P:

Here's the header







Here are my orig. avatar concepts:

Concept #1

Concept #2

Concept #3 (The one I chose)


Tell me how you like them:D

Batman pre-screening, MGS4, E3, and anime! updated

First blog:

This will be a very short blog 'cause I have to leave.


I'm going to a prescreening to the new batman movie tonight, I can't wait, that's probably my favorite advantage to working at a movie theater
MGS4 - Best game I've ever played!!! 10/10
YAY I got all the E3 emblems!

Virtually There: E3 2008 The Big Three Conferences
For tuning into GameSpot's E3 2008 live broadcast of all three of the manufacturer press conferences (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft) on July 14-15. That's dedication.

Hey Louie, the man is dry. Give him one on the house, OK?
These special viewers caught all three days of GameSpot's live stage show at E3 2008. They braved the good and saw the best to be the straightest shooters around. This emblem is on the house.


Sorry for all the spelling mistakes and shortness but I really have to go, I'll write more later.


Batman was AMAZING!!!, I recommend you go see it right now.


E3 was AWESOME!!!, Can't wait for some of the games.


Now the stuff I forgot about earlier:

Probably none of you have noticed what I'm going to talk about because blog header's are down... AGAIN!

I just finished my 100th anime series/movies/OVAs yesterday!, my goal was previously 100 by the end of 2008, I figured if I got 50 in 07, then it would be the same for 08, but I must've stepped up the amount of stuff I watch seeing as it's half way through the year and I've finished 50 series/movies/OVAs.

I also found an amazing program for all my fellow MAL users, it's called "MAL updater" and it does exactly what it's called, it automatically updates your anime list, and it even has customizable themes, or you can make your own theme, I already did (it's in beta now)

I love it, and I'm sure you will too:D

P.S. I'll comment on your comments from my last blog below:

Anime Convention and MGS4

First let me start with me being gone the past 2 weeks, I was at my cottage the entire time, but I'm back now.


Anime Convention

I've always wanted to go to one, and just today I ordered my tickets to Fan Expo Canada 2008, it runs from August 22-24.

Fan Expo Canada isn't just an anime con, it's a comic con, sci-fi con, horror con, anime con, and gaming con.

I'm really excited about going, I especially can't wait to see some of the guests appearing, BUZZ ALDRIN (yes the Apollo 11 Astronaut), KATE MULGREW (Captain Kathryn Janeway, StarTrek Voyager), STEPHANIE SHEH (one of my favorite Voice actors, she played Eureka), and the one I'm most excited about... JOHNNY YONG BOSCH! (yes my favorite voice actor!:D)

Here are the rest of the anime guests

I can't wait!!!!


On to MGS4

I picked up the limited edition Metal Gear Sold 4 yesterday, I have yet to play it, I got Metal Gear Sega vol. 2 with it too.

I'll probably get to it Tuesday of Wednesday.

Finished Eureka Seven

Yes FINALLY:P

I ordered the last 3 volumes Friday, and just got them Tuesday, I watched vol. 10 and 11 Tuesday and just watched 12 now.

Eureka Seven

REVIEW

Still my favorite anime, I loved every moment of the series, and I wish it could have kept going but all great things have to come to an end. I've probably said this before but I'll say it again, If you haven't seen Eureka Seven then go watch it now, don't even finish reading this , go out and buy the DVDs (or download, but buying is better:D). Now I can't wait for the movie to come out:D

10/10

Spore CC and My final project video

I went an picked up the Spore Creature creator today, havn't had time to install it yet, I'm going to do that right now,


I've uploaded my 3D project:D

I made everything you see in the video.

How I made it: The room, table, & lamp were designed in Autodesk Autocad 2007 (at school), then they were all put into Autodesk Viz 2007 (at school) where I added textures, lighting, and arranged the lamp & table, I also made the buildings, fish tank, ground, & camera & path in Viz, I then used Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 64-bit (on my computer) to make the TV, Memory sticks, man, & the ships. After I was ready I rendered it, my first render was 320 frames, it took 5 hours, but I didn't like how fast it was and the path it took, so I went back and increased the frames to 500, and drastically changed the path of the camera. I rendered it again, this time it took 9 hours.

P.S. I rendered with Rayteacer on.

P.P.S. My computer has an Intel QX9650 CORE 2 Quad core (45nm) Overclocked to 3.2Ghz, so unless you have a processor better don't try this at home, if you do be prepared for a render taking more than 24 hours (may vary)

and now the video:

In other news tomorrow (18th) is my last day of exams:D that means it's the last day of school!:D but that also means My final projects are due:(, I've finished one, math doesn't have one, my programing project is nowhere close to being done, and my tech ****is rendering on my computer right now, that's why I'm doing this blog on my laptop, so far the render is at frame 136 of 321 and has taken 2 hours with an estimated 4 hours left:cry:

I'll upload the render when it's done:D


Also I've installed VOCALOID2 on my computer and laptop, the voices I have are:

Miku (Japanese)(Female)

Rin (Japanese)(Female)

I'll be gone *UPDATE - I'm back*

I'm going on a trip this weekend and I probably won't have Internet, but if I do I'll come here, I'm going to Las Ventas... sorry.... Las Vegas:P to see Elton John.

I have a bunch of blogs I want to do.

Blogs coming up:

1. Icons

2. Watching

3. others

I'll see you all Monday if not sooner:D


I'm back every one:D, I don't feel like making a new blog right now so I'm not going to, just update this one and re-comment, I'll do a new blog tomorrow.

Comments on the trip:

Plane rides were horrible, my Dad went cheap on the tickets and booked us with NorthWest airlines, their planes were very simple with cramped seats, alot worse than Air Canada (the airline we take most of the time) who have inseat TVs and plugs in every seat, needless to say their awesome.

Las vegas and the strip was everything I thought it was.

We stayed in Caesars Palace, they were the biggest hotel rooms I have ever been in.

Elton John was also amazing:D

When I was there I picked up an R/C flight simulator and Final Fantasy VII Advent children Limited edition collectors set, It's rely cool:D

Other news:

MGS 4 comes out Thursday!:D

New blog header, avater, sig, anime list and monitor!

Well I finally got around to making the new stuff.

Check them out and comment on them:D

here's my list

here's a 200 x 200 version of my avatar

I got my new monitor Thursday, it's massive! who knew 2" could make that much of a difference:P

It's also very bright, and the 1080P is amazing:D

The built-in webcam has no VISTA 64-bit driver so it doesn't work, but I didn't get the monitor for the webcam.

Appleseed Ex Machina, My monitor is broken :cry:

Appleseed Ex Machina

I picked up the Blu-ray copy Saturday and watched it as soon as i got home.

I loved the first Appleseed movie and this one was even better, simply amazing, I recommend it to all of you (but watch the first movie first). The movie was directed by Shinji Aramaki and Produced by John Woo.

9/10


My monitor has a big crack in it and half my screen is messed up:cry:

If you click to make the picture bigger you can really see the crack.

I'm going to get an ASUS MK241H monitor to replace my ASUS MW221U monitor (the broken one)

More pics of the MK241H.

They've ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!! (even shorter blog) (added 5cm/s review)

Once again the title says it all:P

Eureka seveN vol. 8 and 5 Centimeters Per Second! now i have to watch them.

So I won't be playing GTA IV until later.

P.S. I made it to the 3rd island in GTA IV Tuesday.


5 Centimeters Per Second review

This is one of Makoto Shinkai's best work, visually is is amazing and is defiantly Shinkai's best, and it is verry beautiful, but it wasn't my favorite of his works, my favorite is The Place Promised in Our Early Days, but that doesn't mean 5cm/s was bad, it was still amazing and awesome, and I recommend it to EVERYONE!! I'm glad my other Shinkai stuff has some company:P
