| 4:05pm | Should I Be Glad That Tales Of The Abyss Retains Its Theme Song? | | | | I’ve never played the game since I never owned a PS2, so I shall not speak of what I lack knowledge of. However, I can confidently say that I’ve looped through its theme song, Karma, for at least a few hundred times ever since I started listening to Bump of Chicken back in 2006. I |
| 3:34pm | JLPT 4 Mock Test | | | | As I’ll not be taking JLPT 4, my Japanese language school decided to give all students who will be taking the JLPT 3 this year a mock sitting of the JLPT 4. I was quite surprised by difficulty of the paper. It was rather simple, with only a couple of questions that were slightly tricky.Here’s... |
| 1:36pm | ARX-8, Reporting In Sergeant! | | | | At long last, I finally get my hands on my very own ARX-8. I’d very much prefer a life-sized, fully functional ARX-8, but sadly, it exists only in my imagination, so I think I should just settle for the action figurine model instead.So, why is the ARX-8 so awesome? Let’s overlook the fact... |

| 10:52am | Bakuman : No Death Notes In This One | | | | In the latest issue of Shonen Jump, the duo behind Death Note released a debut chapter of a new series titled Bakuman.

| 12:25am | So It’s Going To Be In 2009… | | | | The 2nd Rebuild of Evangelion movie, that is.As seen from hereand hereBah. And to think I was so certain that it is going to be released this year.

| 4:33am | Tomodachi Land’s Main Attraction : 20th Century Rollercoaster | | | | I took up Mark’s suggestion that if I love mystery manga, I should get started on 20th Century Boys, and ended up reading both 20th and 21st Century Boys over last Friday and Saturday. I was hooked on some sort of spiritual drug.The series is exactly like a rollercoaster ride. It’s thrilling,... |
| 11:36am | What The Heck? ARX-7 Arvalest? | | | | As much as I’m overjoyed that Alter will be releasing the ARX-7 Arbalest this coming Winter, I’m praying hard that they make changes to this.Is it just my hallucination, or am I really seeing Aravalest on the base?Please tell me that this is just a prototype display error. I’m hoping... |

| 8:34pm | Dragon Age August 2008 | | | | Finally, Kinokuniya brought in the latest issue of Dragon Age. I actually made a 45 minute trip down last Saturday only to find out that the shipment was delayed >_> To make the most out of my trip, I bought something to read on the way back.

| 7:35pm | Watching Alone? | | | | A classmate of mine brought up a thought-worthy point when he mentioned that he was going to watch a movie alone. Mind you, it’s not because he’s lonely. He has a girlfriend and a social life that 99% of the otaku population lack.My first reaction was to ask him why he was going alone. He... |
| 6:04pm | Anime Deprivation | | | | I just realised that I’ve only watched 2.5 episodes of anime this week. That’s like almost an all-time low record, or maybe it really is.One of the episodes was that of Code Geass R2, which I stayed up and waited for till the wee hours of 3, totally disregarding the fact that I had school... | | |
| 4:06pm | The Empire of The Rising Sun Lacks This Unit in Red Alert 3 | | | | After reading this, I came to the conclusion that Red Alert 3 is unbalanced. The Empire of the Rising Sun’s arsenal of wimpy weapons just isn’t enough to take on the likes of the manly Soviets or Allies. Not with the overly feminine Yuriko Omega or brainless King Onis. Let’s not forget... |
