Where’s Ace?

What a nice setting. Something you don't see in Arizona.

Heyos Everyones!

What’s up? I’m not posting enough? Nonsense! Life’s a bitch, and I can’t take my time off to simply make a post every other day! Well, in reality, the issue arises because I’m in the process of moving, so I don’t have the opportunity to post as often. In addition, I used to record my LP’s and then make a post on the blog, and without scheduling time for my videos, I don’t really schedule time to make posts. That’s why I haven’t been posting too often.

In other news, no new updates to kMS have been made, so I should have most of the songs in the database now. I still have some unlinked, but that’s due to laziness and my lack of time to add them in with “witty” comments. Hell, I should be a asleep since I have work in about 7 hours, but I don’t really think I’ll be getting too much sleep tonight anyways. This anime season’s going really well, as I’ve got about 7 series I’m following, including Ore no imoto, Bakuman, and Index II, just to name a few. I know I keep saying I’ll post reviews, but I really think I should focus on moving before I start working on other stuffs. I’ll also update the new Song of the Week. The previous track was “Running in the 90’s”, a fantastic track that deserves a listen.

That’s it for now folks, hopefully some movement after the move!

Another Weekend at Home.

Maybe I should curl up in my bed and get some rest?

Heyos Everyones!!

It’s been a rough week, and I’m still coping with everything. It wouldn’t be so bad, but waking up at 5:00 in the morning isn’t something I’m used to, so I’m usually tired immediately after work, and my schedule gets all messed up. Anyways, it’s a new week, and a new song has been added to the sidebar. The last song was Tori no Uta by Lia, the OP for the visual novel AIR. I rather enjoy this week’s tune, although I really didn’t know that this song existed as an actual song until recently.

Two reviews will be up before the end of this week, as I really don’t care about timing and whatnot. I should have a new game review, and an anime review from a series I’ve seen in the past. I hope it’ll add a spin on reviews that you’ll all enjoy. On another note, there haven’t been any new tracks for MapleStory, but I do need to fix some links as they aren’t working at the moment. In addition, the full pack will be updated soon enough.

You won’t find any new videos on my youtube account because my soundcard decided to die on me recently. Onboard Audio just doesn’t compare to the quality of an actual soundcard. Yet again, I don’t know how good my onboard audio is, but whatever. I hope you all enjoy this wonderful Saturday! Sleep in if you can, as it’s very enjoyable!

October? No wai!

Assistroids seems to act like droids in "Star Wars"

Heyos Everyones!

Yeah yeah, it’s finally (or already) October! Hard to believe time’s been going by so fast, but I guess that happens when you have work and school together. I’ve been spending my spare time watching anime and playing Pokemon Black, but I’ve really been taking my time with both of those, as school has gotten the better of me. I think I may slack off a little too much when I really shouldn’t. But, what can you do, you know?

Anyways, I’m working on the forum a little bit, as well as developing the Dowase Games portion of the site a bit more. But really, I’m not doing too much. I can’t seem to get my recording process to work, disabling me from finishing AIR Flight, and so I’ve just spent time with my family, games and anime. I’ve finished K-On!!, and Asobi ni Iku yo!, both decent series that I can finally put to rest. Well, K-On! just had to announce a movie, as if the series wasn’t milked enough. I’ll be honest, I loved K-On!, but now KyoAni needs to move toward something new, preferably something that isn’t Slice of Life, but alas, it seems their new series involves yet another manga, one that reminds me of Lucky Star. I don’t hate these series, but I greatly preferred Clannad, AIR, and Kanon to these series. Maybe it was because the story was written by Key?

I may post my impressions on the fall season, but that’ll have to wait until tomorrow. I’m getting ready for bed, as I have work at 6AM in the morning, and I really don’t want to be caught slacking. Seeya’s Everyones!

Another Week Ends.

Although not in HG/SS, she will be missed.

Heyos Everyones!

I know, it’s been awhile since I was able to post again, and my videos kinda stopped. Two reasons for that. One, school has been hell this week, and two, POKEMON BLACK. It’s an awesome game, and most definitely worth the money to get it. I’m close to beating it, and my friend who has White completely beat the game yesterday. I’ve been working hard to figure out the story more so than progress in the game, so I’ve been taking my time with it.

The song of the week has changed. Last weeks (1) was the Title Screen of the popular MMO Survival Project. Of course, it wasn’t popular enough to still be alive. I really wish I had the opportunity to purchase the rights to publish the game in the United States, but I don’t really have a representative to work with me on it. So, that goes down the drain. This weeks song will be revealed next week, so try your best to figure out the tune!

I don’t really have too much to talk about now. I’ve also been playing the SA1 port for Xbox 360 alongside Pokemon, as well has spending my mornings working. There also won’t be a post or video tomorrow, because I’m going to the Waterpark. Yeah, in AZ, we can still go until the beginning of November. It really doesn’t get that cold in this part of Arizona, which I hope to get away from in the near future. Anyways, have fun, and I hope to begin my anime reviews in the near future, because the new season starts before you know it!

Mixed Schedules

I don't play hard enough in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Heyos Everyones!

I tried sticking to a post per day schedule, but it seems to get messed up real easy. The best times for me to post are in the morning, but I end up working at 6 A.M most mornings, so it really messes me up on when I should post and whatnot. Anyways, I’ve updated the MapleStory Soundtrack with new songs, such as the new Lionheart Castle just released in kMS. Check it out if you want the new musics, as there are no restrictions on downloading songs from Dowase Games anymore.

Wednesday, I only have one class, Japanese, so it isn’t much of a big day. I went with my friends and we ended up playing more Super Smash Bros, with me being the loser as usual. The sad thing is the fact I used to be the best at the game, but now it seems I can’t even beat my friends anymore. T.T Yesterday was pretty unproductive though, so not much to say there.

I just now watched the 11th episode of Okami-san, and I must say, it ended a bit earlier than I expected. I wanted the fight to drag on longer, as the way it finished was lame as hell. HotD was decent, but didn’t beat last weeks amazing performance. I still haven’t watched this weeks K-On!!, so I have nothing to say in regards to that.

Next week I’ll start writing reviews for anime and games, so hopefully that’ll add more readability to the site. Other than that, enjoy this Thursday, and have a great day!

Things just don’t like to work…

Hacking a computer isn't as easy as it may seem. =(

Heyos!

I tried working on the blog layout and stuffs a little yesterday, but it seems that went downhill and I ended up reverting back to the old layout. Maybe once I have time I’ll work on it more often. In other news, the maplestory soundtrack is being moved to the blog, and it’s being updated as I go. There are still some songs missing, but they’ll be there within the week.

Japanese class wasn’t too bad yesterday. I’d have to say it’s the only class I really look forward to (Well, I do enjoy Math as well), and luckily Japanese is the only class I have daily. It’s a fun class, and although the language is difficult, it’s fun and challenging. I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Except, maybe if the campus was closer, I’d be a bit more happy.)

I ended up working at a different store the other night. It’s a really strange experience, working at a store you’re not used to. I was also cashiering as well, so it’s not my normal everyday experience. It was fun, as everyone there seemed to be understanding, but I just don’t get to know new people too well. Maybe I should work on my social skills.

Luckily, the day wasn’t too busy to not watch anime! I ended up watching K-On!! 22, and Amagami SS 10. Maybe I’ll eventually post reviews on what I watch, but I think that’ll wait until the next season. Both episodes were great in their own regards, as Amagami always has me laughing in some scene or another. K-On!! is, well, K-On!!. I can’t really say too much about it, but it is entertaining to watch, and that’s what matters, isn’t it?

Hopefully the site will be updated later, but I’ve got an eight hour work day today, and plans to hang out with friends. Regardless, enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Business as usual.

Sometimes I wish I could just drive like that to school without worries.

Heyos!

I have 3/4 classes on Tuesday and Thursday. One of my classes occurs daily, so either way, I’m stuck going to campus everyday, and waiting until 7PM for my last class on Tuesday and Thursday, because my class before that ends at 1PM. Fun, right? Not for my car. I’m still not used to going 30mi each day in heavy traffic, mainly because the “construction” is horrible on these roads near the college. My wallet is slowly becoming thinner and thinner, as I travel between locations, and my job isn’t really the “best” paying job out there. But alas, it’s a job, and I really can’t say I don’t enjoy working.

Oh, I currently work a Fry’s Food Stores, a division of Kroger stationed in Arizona. It’s a fun job, but for all the time I’ve been there, my pay doesn’t seem to keep up. I guess that can happen at any job though, right?

So I get home after my boring math class (Which ends at 8:50), and I play some GTA4, just for kicks. The main reason I own that game is for the sandbox qualities it possesses, and I just love blowing stuffs up. A great way to pass some time and relieve some anger, you know? Wakes you up after a boring math class, and a boring drive home.

I don’t have any backlogged anime at the moment (Well, I do, but none from this season that I feel like watching), as I just watched Ookami-san last night. It’s a great series, and I’m enjoying the cliffhanger that episode 10 brought on. Shame the summer season’s almost over, it actually had some good shows.

That’s it for today. Hope everyone enjoys this great Friday!
