Been a while...

Since, I've posted...   Ignoring my absence, my mind is thinking... 
Resident Evil 4.

So... Ive passed it once, then passed it again (both in normal mode) and in my second go around, my goal was to buy the almighty "INFINITE LAUNCHER" Woot! I had to sell some of my fully upgraded weapons to get that 1,000,000 pesos plus all my treasures and then sold some green, yellow , and red herb mixes to pull it off. I ended up aquiring it and became a GoD!

  Now I'm working on trying to survive the horror in professional mode. Quite challenging but I shall never quit! At this moment I'm at the part where Ashley is about to get caught in one of the castle's trap and then we have to go in the tunnels and fight those invisible pansies.

 Current inventory: Red9 with stock and upgraded, just missing 1 firepower and 1 something else. Then we have the almighty riot gun (shotgun) which is upgraded as much as they'll let me. That's all the weapons I have. I decided to screw the rifle (gun with scope that snipes) because my mind says so. I have ammo (not much) and health items as well as one gold chicken egg. Gonna have me some huevos rancheros mas tarde! Woot!

A possible story...

I will soon be posting the beginning of a story that I have thought of. It's a love story with it's comedic pieces and sure, some action. Anyway, I am no good at giving out names so any ideas would be appreciated. Names like... hmmm, like Zako... Now thats a cool name... I need male and female names! If I dont get any or can't come up with any then I'll just resort to using names that I've heard of like Inuyasha or Keitaro (names from animes I've watched). So give me names to use! You shall be credited for making this piece come alive. If you want, throw in a title.

Inspiration for this came from a quick story we were made to come up with in school a while back. We had thirty minutes to one hour to finish and apparently I was feeling the writer in me and I finished with about 4-5 pages full of story. Sadly I lost those pages so I'm trying to remember it as I type this one up.

(Update: Me from 1/21/2011, Added the second paragraph to explain why I wanted to type this story up. Although I never did... acually I did with the post after this one but I deemed it not well thought out so I deleted it. )

Re-living the Past...

As I wrote my post on my love for Pink Haired Anime Females I also ended up typing a little bit about Harvest Moon. I started to remember the good times I had with Harvest Moon 64. The hours I enjoyed every day to continue working on my farm, to get the love of the town girls for my farmer dude and to eagerly await the next event. So, today I dusted off my N64 and started to play Harvest Moon 64. Well, what do you know? I am in love once again! Yes, I can see it now... The plans I have for my farmland are immense! Perhaps, instead of planting my whole field with grass, I'll make a dedicated area filled with flowers! Or I can master the way of fishing and live off that!

 Also, there might be some changes on my perspective of who to choose to try and mary for my dude... Since I started playing , my eyes have focused on the Baker's Daughter instead of the pink-haired girl from last time... Though, I will always remain truthful to pink-haired anime females! Also, I thrive to get my farmer dude in good standings with all the girls and people of the village! That way those other girls can also get married to the other dudes in the game (you raise their heart, you pick one for your dude and the rest get married to others).

I also have Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for the Playstation! All I need is to buy a Memory Card and insert it into my PS2, pray that my Harvest Moon disk still works and enjoy another experience! ( By the way... out of all my 30 or so PSOne disks... only this one survived... though I sure miss Silent Hill.). One time at my cousins house in which my parents and me stayed for a bit, all I could do is play Harvest Moon: Back To Nature on my cousins PSOne. I was just possesed! Seriously! A great experience for me and now I'll see if it engulfs me once again! I have Once again fallen into the Harvest Moon craze, though I'm sure I never really left.

Update: (2/14/06) Today, when I came back from school I started playing Harevest Moon 64 right away and ended up playing all day! Around 5:30 hours playing this awesome game. Anyway I'm doing great and I have all my chickens! Among other things, woot! That is all.

(Update: Me from 1/21/2011, deleted some sentences, broke the one big paragraph and enjoyed remembering about Harvest Moon. I've recently been playing Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley, the newest one on the PSP. Love it. That Harvest Moon Craze never left me.)

My review for "Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai" Episode one...

I'm not sure if you are aware but I love Anime and if you dont then let me say that "I Love Anime!" "Me Gusta Pero Muchisimo!" Let us begin with the review for "Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai" which translates into "This Ugly and Beautiful World".

Today, I have completed watching this series and was thrilled.
This anime has love, comedy and has it's beautiful action scenes.

Episode 1: It begins with the introduction to the characters like Takeru and characters like his best friend, Ryou. Anyway, later during the day, Takeru and Ryou go on a delivery and they encounter a bright light, that resembles an orb, thats flying around! The light pulls next to them and they are shocked as to what they are seeing. The light soon goes up in the sky and seperates into two.  Two orbs now land in the forest ahead in different directions. Curiosity gets the best of them so they decide to go check it out.


They soon find one of the bright light orbs and Takeru says "Hikari (that light)" and goes up to examine it because he has a feeling it needs his help (which is what I think he was thinking at that time anyway). Takeru goes up to the bright white orb and encounters a cute human female. She's in the orb but soons comes out to fall on Takeru. This sets in motion the story. Who is this girl? Where is the other orb like thing? Is another cute girl in the other orb? As they talk to each other, it seems that she has no name but since Takeru said "Hikari", he begins to call her that. Her name is now Hikari and we start to see a possible relationship between Hikari and Takeru as they walk back home, Takeru also promises to protect Hikari which relieves Hikari since she seems a bit distraught and confused.

Takeru and Ryou are still thinking about what happened, but suddenly they are attacked by a huge centipede type thing that seems to want to kill Hikari. Ryou is thrown away and now Takeru it trying to protect Hikari but she is swiped away. Here we have Takeru who promised he'll protect her but seems to not be able to do anything against this monster and suddenly he starts to change in appearance and he turns into this bad-ass looking thing. He totally kicks the monsters butt and saves Hikari and he puts her somewhere safe. He goes back to finish off the monster. As he unleashes hell on the monster and is about to finish it off, he starts to feel pity and does nothing as the monster scurries away. He reverts back to normal and goes to find Hikari and Ryou.

 Meanwhile, Hikari is wondering where Takeru is and if he is safe when suddenly the monster finds her but Hikari suddenly changes in voice and demeanor. Then it she unleashes some demonic-like power and the centipede monster is no more. Takeru meets up with Ryou and both of them find Hikari. They are also suprised to see the monster ripped apart and blood everywhere while Hikari is lying on the ground. It also seems that she does not remember killing the monster... Takeru is just relieved that Hikari is safe.

Then the episode ends with the satisfaction that it has accomplished its job to lure the viewer into seeing the whole series... well, it got me.

This is my episode one review for this anime and I hope it piqued your interest. If not you should still see episode one since in no way am I confident in my reviewing skills.

Three nicknames...

 I used to live in Los Angeles, California. Here I had two best friends (Juan and Yasher) and I had a good time. One day I came up with a unofficial nickname for Juan and that nickname was "Skinny Ass Dude from South Africa" and this nickname fitted him well, it even rhymed!
Later in the week, Yasher had heard this nickname and agreed that it fit Juan nicely, since he was skinny and such. Juan, who didn't want to be the only one with this type of nickname teamed up with me to come up with a name for Yasher. We threw some words around, and I eventually came up with Short Ass Dude From Asia... BOOM! Pefect! Yasher was short and had an almost looking Asian face.
Of course, that left me... so Yasher came up with Tall Ass Dude From Antartica... Nice. I was the tallest and with a blank expression on me most of the time, Antartica was all right. So, from there on out we used these names to call each other for a bit.

The year is 2011..


As people happily await midnight to celebrate yet another new year, the dark forces that be have started to act... 12...11...10...9...8...7...6..5..4..3..2.1....Everything goes black... and you find yourself in complete darkness, with nothing but your own thoughts. As you wonder as to whats going on, you start to feel dazed and you loose your footing, but wait! You realize that you have no body, you feel no arms, no legs,  nothing at all.... As you begin to question your sanity, your head starts to throb and throb and throb and that throbing turns into pain... a deep searing pain that you never felt before, as if someone thrusted a blade into your forehead, filled it with lava and quickly freezed it with nitrogen over and over again... As you try to scream for help, a small white squared hole about the size of a humans thumb appears right in front of you and shines the darkness around it away. To you it seems that your drifting towards the light, as you have no legs, no body what-so-ever... but you never reach it... time and time again you get so close to it that you can hear a sweet voice not male nor female but a sweet voice calling you to join it. You want to, you really do, but you just can't seem to ever reach it, and your stuck in this endless loop of despair with new types of pain making its way onto your thoughts... after what seems to be an eternity, the darkness lifts away and your back where you came from, as you recuperate, a pain that is just unimaginable to describe or ever feel in this world surrounds you and as you are enveloped with this pain, your eyes start to close without your will and... you cease to exist... but do not worry as this has happened to every single human on Earth, apocalypse has started and ended and the human race is no more...

(Update, It's me from 1/20/2011 going through the revision and... I gotta say. This made me chuckle. I could reword some parts in the hope of making it sound more ominous but I like it just the way it is.)

My love for Pink Haired Anime Females!

... I like Pink Haired Anime Females... Do you?
Bit of history, when I was younger and had an N64 there was this game called Harvest Moon 64 and I loved it. In this game you are a farmer and you farm... but its really fun. There are 4 seasons and each act as a month and you can play forever. There are events like horse racing and cooking competitions. You can go fishing or go to a hot spring. Plus alot more enjoyable activities that you just don't get bored of. Now how does this all fit with my love for Pink Haired Females of Anime, you may ask? Well, in Harvest Moon 64 you can have your farmer dude get married and out of the 5 girls I saw my eyes drifted to this one pink haired girl who I thought was very pretty. I had my farmer dude marry her and I felt that out of the other girls she was the one for him... yup and thats how I came to be with loving Pink Haired Females from Anime.

(Update, hello its me from 1/18/2011 reviewing my blog. I've already deleted 4 posts because I deemed them nonsense and now I'm at this one. I like this just how it is and thus it remains the same except for some minor word corrections and instead of refering to myself in the marriage bit I refered to a farmer dude since that makes more sense.)
