New avatar, banner, etc. delayed. & A short GTA IV review.

You can probably guess why:P... GTA IV:P

I'm too busy playing games and watching anime to make my New banner, avatar, anime list, sig & blog header, but I'll have them in a week... or 2:P And I still can't think of a theme so don't forget to VOTE!

GTA IV = 9.8 / 10

It's AMAZING! I'm having the most fun I've had in a game since... HL2.

But I've barley scratched the surface of the story, I'm at !!!SERIOUS SPOILER!!! [spoiler] My first safe House just burnt down [/spoiler] and I got my second safe house.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GTA IV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (caps)

GTA IV!

I went down to our small Wal-Mart before school this morning and got myself.... you can guess what:P

I was surprised to see that our small town wal-mart had a copy, but they did, about 50 games for each system.

I got the special edition copy and my brother got the standard game.

The store just opened when I got there and they hadn't even opened the GTA4 boxes, So I'm the first person in my town to get GTA4!, that's cool:P

I'm so exited!

But first I have to get though school:cry:, but when I get home later I'll be playing it:D

It's my birthday! UPDATE(PiQ review)

I'm 17:D

I'm not going to spend alot of time on this blog(you can guess why:P) so here's the stuff I got:

ANIME

FLAG vol. 2+3

Bleach vol. 9

Eureka SeveN vol. 6+7

PiQ magazine issue #2 (to see if I like it)

GAMES

Dualshock 3 controller! (PS3)

Playstation EYE (PS3)

The eye of judgement (PS3)

Assasin's creed (PS3)

Hellgate London (PC)

Sins of a solar empire:D (PC)

Patapon (PSP)

Crisis core (PSP)

Blu-Ray & DVDs

Resident evil trilogy (Blu-Ray)

One Missed call (Blu-Ray)

Cloverfield (DVD)

And the last thing is the thing that will save my computer and let me keep on downloading anime:D

A 1TB hard drive! that put's my computer at 2.6TB or 2600GB


UPDATE

In short:

PiQ=NO

I didn't like PiQ, there's too much western stuff in it, and I'm not interested in western entertainment that much. I'm going to get a copy of each of the other anime mags and compare them for myself, right now Otaku USA is looking the best because it comes with a DVD, but we'll see...

I wish ADV realizes thir mistake and bring back NewType.

RahXephon, Next profile theme? NEWTYPE alternative? (questions)

RahXephon

I watched both the show and the movie, I'll review both.

RahXephon

Once I saw 5 letters at the beginning of the first episode i knew I would like the series, they were "BONES", so far I've liked every thing BONES has done (Eureka Seven, Fullmetal Alchemist, Mars Daybreak, Scrapped Princes, & Wolf's Rain, just to name a few, more here) So as I said i really liked the series, it's technically a mach but it doesn't really seem to have that much mecha, true the RahXephon is sort of a mech but he seems more biological than mechanical, also he's really the only one until about mid way in the series, and you could say the D1s are mechs but I wouldn't.

8/10

RahXephon - Pluralitas Concentio (a.k.a The movie)

Basically it's the 26 episode show compiled into a 2 hour movie... atleast 50% of the clips in the movie were taken directly from the series, also the movie changed some story elements, but they were needed to shorten the story. In the end the movie is good if you want to see the series but don't want to sit through all 26 episodes, you should also watch it after you see the series.

7/10


I'm currently watching Hare + Guu

Lately I've been downloading alot from IRC channels, it's a bit harder than bittorrent but, you can get stuff you can't get from bittorrent, like Hare+Guu, Full Metal Panic!, and others.

Here's a list of stuff I have lined up ready to be watched, in this list I'll tell you how i got it (IRC or bitttorent (BT)), and the fansub/rip goup

Series Name [Fansub/rip] (BT or IRC)

Area 88 (OVA) [Blitz] (IRC)

Area 88 (TV) [Blitz] (IRC)

Blood: The Last Vampire [ANIMEHEAVEN] (BT)

Chrno Crusade [a4e] (IRC)

Comic Party [Anime-Takeover] (BT)

Comic Party Special [LIME] (BT)

Full Metal Panic! [a4e] (IRC)

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu [a4e] (IRC)

GetBackers [a4e] (BT)

Jinki:Extend [Arigatou] (IRC)

Paranoia Agent [a4e] (BT)

Samurai Champloo [a4e] (BT)

Just by looking at this you can tell who my favorite fanrip is:P


I got the first episode if Tweeny Witches from [Arigatou], it's pretty good, I think I might download the other 3 episodes (there's 40 in the series) then I might buy some of the DVDs.


So to keep up with my bimonthly new profile(and everything else) theme change, I need to make a new everything by the end of April, but i can't decide on a theme, here are the choices:

Fullmetal Alchemist

Ghost in the Shell

Eureka seveN

Last Exile

Bleach

VOTE!


I have another question:

What is the best NEWTYPE alternative anime magazine?

PiQ

Anime Insider

Protoculture Addicts

Otaku USA

Other? (specify)

The Question

Feel free to comment on the site, you can comment here too if you like:D

I also found this great story on why dubs are good, You should all read it, here


I also created an Xfire account.

I haven't played any games since I made the account so it's empty but my PC specs are there.


My brother got an 80GB PS3 and Rock Band for his birthday, so now there's 2 PS3s in the house:P This reminds me of the guy that has 3 PS3s:P

But since my bro is in University and he's going back in a few days to finish his last exams.


I have to go now I haven't had any free time this week,

Monday - I had to write a story for school

Tuesday - I had a dress rehearsal for another play I'm doing

Thursday - I have the first show of the play

In the play I'm doing sound, but I also do a bit of the lighting.

Lots of stuff to get to

Coming up un this blog: Ah! My Goddess(1993), .hack//Roots, FarCry, World in Conflict, RahXephon, Anime TV

It's been a week since my last blog so I have alot to cover.


Ah! My Goddess

It moved alot faster than the 05 series, for example the first episode of this one had the first 5-10 episodes of the 05 show in it. It also wasn't as good as the 05 series, and it got boring fast, I almost fell asleep in one part.

6/10


.hack//Roots

Probably my 2nd favorite of the .hack universe(my favorite is probably .hack//SIGN) But at times it went a little slow. One thing i don't like about the .hack series is that they don't show the real world(excluding .hack//Liminality where it was the other way around:P)

9/10


I picked up Farcry the other day fro $5! I said "why not?" and got it:D it was a pain to install it on my 64bit system but I eventually got it, but haven't really played it yet.


I got bot bored of watching anime so I went to my game collection and picked out one of the games i got for Christmas that I havn't played yet, I picked World in Conflict.

WIC runs beautifully on my system, It's also really really fun, and long which is great, I haven't played a long game like this for a while now, I completely understand how this got 9.5 EC.

So far I have to give the game, 9.5


So I was watching RahXephon, so far I made it though the first 2 episodes but then I felt like playing a game, it's not because I thought RahXephon was boring, but because I felt like playing a game:D




This is a great show I found!

Yes that's Johnny Yong Bosch!*(see below)(My favorite Voice Actor), he hosts the show.

*(He's the voice of Ichigo(Bleach), Renton(Eureka 7), Claus(Last Exile), Itsuki(The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya), Vash(Trigun), Kiba(Wolf's Rain), and many more)

On the show they review and discuss anime, they also have a cosplay segment, and one about old anime people forgot about but are still good.

I highly recomend ATV, go watch it NOW!

9.8/10

You can watch anime TV on their website's RSS feed, youtube and many other video sites.


I think that's everything:P

Well I'm off to finish WIC:D

2 things to cover (Anime) - Ah! Furi Kuri... ??? MAL moved!

Well lets start;

I watched too many Ah! My Goddess shows so I'll put the links and do a review of the entire series.

Ah! My Goddess (2005) (Alternative version of the 1993 show)

Ah! My Goddess (special)

Ah! My Goddess: The Movie (to the 1993 show)

Still on my plan to watch list:

Ah! My Goddess (original 1993 show)(in DL Q)

Ah! My Goddess: Sorezore no Tsubasa (sequel to 2005 show)

Review

I loved the series, It's a great romance comedy(with more comedy then romance) and I can't wait until i get my hands on the sequel the the 05 show. I recommend this to everyone:D

8/10

I'm trying to get Ah! My Goddess: Sorezore no Tsubasa but I can't find the

[Exiled-Destiny] encode ANYWHERE! if you know please PM me:D


Furi Kuri (a.k.a Fooly Cooly & FLCL)

Synopsis

Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further insanity.

Review

.......... Um... yeah... FU... RI... Ku... RI... Ok then...

This was Serial Experiments Lain's mindf**kery all over again. It started out strange and confusing but by the end of the short series it was actually pretty good, at one point I actually raised the score by 1, but it went back down after the next episode. It seemed longer than it actually was, more like 10 episodes when it was actually 6. race_suace it definitely did lower my IQ:P and lancelot200 FLCL is definitely overrated, I'm still trying to figure out HOW THE HELL THIS GOT RANKED #124! WITH A SCORE OF 8.19!

Review

I loved this series, it was a great comedy, but I hated how short it was, only 13 episodes with no sequel:(

The main character at some angles looks exactly like Lain from "Serial Experiments Lain", but the character design is done byYoshi.toshi ABE(sorry it was censored) in both of them.

8/10


I just saw a cool error massage, it said: "Something bad happened in application:" yep it actually said something bad happened:P But aside from the cool wording it was very non techy, it didn't have any weird codes that only the developers knew what means, it went like this:

Something bad happened in the application:

"AVG.exe"

The error report was saved to

"C://something/anothersomething/moresomething/AVG.exe.err"

[OK]

In other news the reveiw for 5 Centimeters per Second just went up on ANN, check it out, it was also featured in the latest "shalf Life"

It looks like Glitchspot fixed the user info glitch so it's back to Gamespot for me:D

Blog post #101

100th BLOG!!! Glitchspot!!!!!!!!! New about me! 5 things about me!

100th BLOG!!

and other than that nothing's new, I'm still watching Lost Universe.


Glitchspot is acting up again, I don't know if you've noticed but all the info in your about me section that was checked to be displayed isn't anymore and you can't change it back, I don't know if I can change the text in the about me section, last time I tried it reset every time, my guess, one of the gamespot coders screwed up in his/her java writing and now instead if sending your options it just resets the form.

-UPDATE-

The about me section works, so I updated it:D

New About me:

Hello, My name is Jeff, I'm 17, and LOVE anime (obviously:P), I also love computers and technology. I'm good at anything involving computers so if you have a tech problem just ask. I know HTML, BBCode, CSS, BASIC, and Command Lime, I'm currently learning C++. Now onto games. I have a PS3 and PC for gaming, after high school I'm going to go learn Video Game Development and get into the game industry. My favourite Japanese word is sora(sky), don't ask me why. Check out my website(currently closed), Anime List, and AMVs.


I still havn't caught the "5 bug", but if I do get tagged I've been thinking about what I'll say.

-UPDATE-

TheC0m1ssar just pointed out that he taged me


5 Things about me

1. I enjoy Romance animes, not movies or TV, just anime

2. I enjoy Hentai... as Master_M2K said "it's still anime", I actually have 19GB of it filling up my computer

3. I change my banner, avatar, and blog header bimonthly

4. I'm actually very shy and keep my love for anime bottled inside me when I'm not in my room

5. I'm a very fast learner especially with computer programs, I can just look at a program and know the basics of it,some programs are a bit more complicated and take a little more investigating but simple programs are easy.

-Bonus things-

6. I don't like old things, whether it's anime, tv shows, movies, computers, but recently I've been watching older animes.

7. I like architecture, and am fairly good at it too.

8. I cried at the end of FMA(the series not movie)

-One some of you may know-
