Business in Mayhem

Heyos Everyones!!

Man, where did the month(s) go??  Although I haven’t done much, a lot has happened in these two months, and it just keeps going on! Although I’m out of school, I’m attempting to pick up more hours at my job, as AX2011 is coming up!! I’ll be there, and I’ve already got my tickets for the Hatsune Miku concert, which is going to be amazing!! I absolutely cannot wait, and it’s really the only thing coming up that I really am anticipating.

On another note, the anime this season has been amazing! I’m currently watching C, Ano Hana, Denpa Onna, Hoshizora, Dog Days, Hanasaku Iroha, Hidan no Aria, Steins;Gate, The World God Only Knows II, and Tiger and Bunny. This season I’m watching so much, as I’ve never watched so many series in one season. But the anime is so great, I can’t help it.

I also recently traded in my old Xbox 360 and walked out with a PS3 for 29.36! I already have 4 games which I ended up not paying anything for, and now I have a blu-ray player to watch my favorite anime with. I’ve been playing 3D dot game heroes, and plan on importing Tales of Vesperia and some VN’s for the PS3, as it’s region-free and an amazing console, so I can’t wait to play it more. I also have a PSP, and Project Diva is one of my most played games 0n the console. Unfortunately, even though I’m not taking the time to post here, I still have a ton of games and anime on my backlog, and I really need to organize and step my game up so I’m not so behind when I go to the expo.

Well, that’s all for this time. I can’t say when I’ll be updating again, but I believe I’ll be reporting more when I’m actually at the expo, as I’ll have a lot to talk about then. Especially the Miku concert.

Seeya’s,
Ace

Heyos Everyones!!

I try to make more than one update a month, but it’s been quite a month for me. Not that it’s bad or anything, but it has been busy (and not for all the right reasons either, I have been slacking quite a bit this month). Anyways, before I do my usual rant of whatever is on my mind, I want to release a few statements regarding the MapleStory Soundtrack Archive located on the Dowase server.

MS Soundtrack
-Orbis Town BGM has been fixed.
-Minar’s Forest BGM has been fixed.
-Happyville Old BGM and Happyville current BGM had been mixed due to the server transfer. The issue is now fixed. If you had downloaded the songs before this date, but after the blog had been created, you may switch the BGM names to avoid further confusion. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Also, all descriptions for the BGM are provided by myself before the Big Bang patch had been released. I will not change my descriptions to fit the new layout, for nostalgia purposes and overall laziness. On that note, I will not update new BGM currently being added to the soundtrack, for the sole reason of my absence in the game. I no longer know where the songs are being played, and without such description, cannot accurately provide an easy to navigate list based on region and town. My apologies for the inconvenience this may cause, but I currently hold other priorities to this soundtrack. (I love the new songs being added, just don’t know where they play anymore xP)

Now that that’s over with…
Whew…Today’s been alright. I finished Star Driver, and have to amp up my game at work for my boss is on vacation, leaving higher management to have an excuse to come in and “check” on how we’re doing. Yeah, looking forward to that >.> (But it does provide more hours, so I can’t really complain too much). I’ve been playing my PS2 a little too much lately, as I’ve been working on both Persona 3 and Persona 4. I’ve got a decent amount of hours on both, and each game carries different traits that I find appealing, so it’s hard deciding which one is my favorite (P3P definitely would be on top, provided it carried the full visual, but alas, it’s not as powerful as a PS2).

I hope to resurrect Dowase soon with a small project, but I’m not giving any promises at the moment, for that’ll curse me and it’ll never work out like usual. Therefore, I’m not jumping the gun again.

Now, it’s time for me to finish Winter 2011 anime, and start looking for Spring 2011 anime to begin. As for the Winter 2011 season as a whole, it really didn’t do too much for me, but it was alright. Next season proves to be a little more promising, and I know Summer 2011 will be amazing. Not to mention AX2011 seems to be coming soon, and I just booked the Hotel this weekend, so no troubles like last year! Well, that’s all I’ve got for today, so let’s hope I can make a post before May 2011 rolls around, k?

Alrights! It’s now the middle of the second semester in school, and I can honestly say some of it has dragged on way too long. Oh wells, this week will give me plenty of time to work on any projects I have, although I think I’ll spend more time watching anime and playing Persona 3.

I don’t have much else to say about the website progress or Dowase. I’ve been following too many anime series and playing too many jRPGs to keep track of anything else. Work and school take up the rest of my time, and I end up sleeping more than I would like. The spring series is almost here, and I really can’t wait. Although I love the current series (Gosick, Kore wa zombie desu ka, Fractale, Dragon Crisis, Yumekui Merry, and the continuation of Star Driver and Bakuman), I really want to see the next season of “The World God Only Knows”. Not to mention, Gosick will be continuing for the next season, which raises my expectation for the next season.

I’ve been really late to the company Atlus. I’ve played a few of their games (Tail Concerto, Rivera), but after playing the Shin Megami Tensei series (Persona 3, Devil Survivor), I’ve really begun to appreciate the work put into their games. I used to be a big platformer gamer, but after playing jRPGs for some time now, I’ve broadened my experience with more than just 2D platforming. I consider it good that I quit playing Maplestory, or I may have lost all my time in the world!

I know my post may be late, but I still can’t believe the disaster that has struck Japan. It’s a terrible, horrible tragedy and I can only hope for the best of the people living there. It makes you think how fast something can go from just fine to panic and chaos. My regards go out to everyone living and visiting Japan, for dealing with such a disaster.

This has been my March post. Maybe I’ll get another before April xP.

Heyos Everyones!

It’s already almost Christmas. Amazing how the time flies, no? Still, I’ve been busy with finals and work, so I’ve not had time for this site and other things (Such as my Let’s Plays). However, time will soon be available, as Finals are almost over, and the week will be coming to an end. Work hasn’t been nice to me either, making me get up too damn early to get a decent night’s sleep. However, it’ll all work out in the end, I’m sure.

Nothing necessarily new today either. Working on some collaborations with some of my friends for the channel, and trying to keep up with this season of anime. Hell, I just finished watching Kaichou wa maid sama, because I was stupidly holding off for Eclipse to finish, but I may as well finish the series before I forget what the damn thing was about. Other than that, it’s almost time for another season of anime, and I feel this season was decent, although not great. Amagami SS, although starting last season, is among my favorites.

I just spent $1000 on my car the other day as well, due to issues with the suspension and brakes. Not an easy setback, being Christmas time and all, but there wasn’t anything I could really do. All I can do is sit back, play Persona 3P and hope that things will go my way if I work hard enough. (Of course, I guess playing P3P isn’t a good example of working hard =P). Anyways, I’ll be updating the new track of the “week”. Last week’s was “Air Man ga Taosenai”, literally translated as “AIR MAN will not die!”. It was actually a remix included with the ED of Yosuga no Sora, a rather explicit anime; something I rather not dwell into.

Regardless, thanks for all your support, have fun and enjoy the holidays! Check back often, or visit my youtube channel for more updates!

Heyos Everyones!

I heard it wasn’t October anymore, which means Halloween has passed!? Damn, and I had a great picture to put up to. Meh, I’ll put it up anyways! Now then, onto the post!

The reason I’ve been so behind is due to college and stress because my mother seems to enjoy spending money she doesn’t have, which leads to nobody in the house having money. It doesn’t help as my father is stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere, fighting for our country. It’s not that I don’t respect that, I really do, but it would help if he didn’t have to leave during the holidays, which seem to be the most stressful time for everyone. The song of the week has been updated, as last week’s song was “Can you feel the Sunshine” from the hit game “Sonic R”. This week’s is a nice little song that I’ve loved as soon as I heard it for the first time.

The MapleStory soundtrack has been updated with a full compilation of all the tracks as of today. Some tracks in the mix are not listed on the website, due to overall laziness. So if you want to collect those songs, you might be better off holding on until I update the main page. Save your bandwidth for other useful things.

With all this time I’ve had not updating the site, I’ve been playing Sonic Adventure for the XBLA and Sonic 1 along with Sonic 4. If you’ve followed my youtube account, you’d understand that I love Sonic games, although it seems it hasn’t been the same with recent times. In addition, I’ve been keeping up with fall anime, and damn, it’s been awesome! Samurai Girls is one of my personal favorites, along with MM, The World God Only Knows, Ore no Imoto, Index II, Yosuga no Sora (Although this one is a little too extreme), and Bakuman. This has been a good anime season, and as soon as I have the time, I’ll definitely post my thoughts in detail on each of the series I’ve been keeping up with.

As always, thanks for your support, download the soundtrack, and enjoy the weekend!
