Sugar Addict – Satou no Yuuwaku

Found out recently that Kaoru (responsible for Helios Eclipse and tonnes of love themed comics) was coming out with an artbook next, titled Sugar Addict – Satou no Yuuwaku.

To be honest, I never have been too fancy about buying artbooks causing from their lack of practical usage short from artistic appreciation, not to mention them usually being quite expensive, but this here is one by Kaoru, the one of a handful of artists that I can say I am truly a fan of. Coupled also by the cover art that strikingly resembles Mao from Kimikiss, it’s quite difficult to resist really. However, it prices from RM36.90 for 96 pages of illustrations and I have yet to see or hold a physical copy before so I’ll reserve from making any solid decisions for now.

P.S. first post in over a month~~ woohoooo! hahaha

Ryouiki Zero and MBA Complete Form

So as of the 27th of October (yeah, last week) Fly Systems has transferred development works for Magical Battle Arena to a new circle called Ryouiki Zero. Whether this new circle is a direct subsidiary to Fly-Systems, a totally different group, or Fly-Systems themselves disguised under another name is not known. It sure does seem to have close affiliations to Souwer Cherry and Pandadanpa though; both are close partners with Fly-Systems. In that light, guess says Ryouiki Zero at the very least aren’t strangers to Fly-Systems.

Along with the transfer, news for the next major release of Magical Battle Arena were also spilled, named Magical Battle Arena Complete Form. This one sounds more like a bundled release of Magical Battle Arena with Lyrical Pack along with all the patches and the 5 extra download characters included rather than being a major expansion release, but alas it wasn’t without any updates at all. It is revealed that Complete Form will include one new character; StrikerS Fate. Aside from that, it also includes several new moves for the returning characters and uses a new network system for its multiplayer mode. No further words about whether the character list is finalized or would there be more new characters to expect other then the non-loli Fate.

Here are some images of the grown Fate T. Harlaown in MBA Complete Form.

Magical Battle Arena Complete Form is scheduled for this coming Winter Comiket in December.

Ar Tonelico 3 promotion video

This promotion video was originally shown during Entamatsuri2009.

The Grand PSP Despair

You will feel it when, with you, you have

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker beta trial

Phantasy Star Portable 2 special beta trial

Valkyria Chronicles 2 trial

and upon your attempt to savour the goodness, you run into

THIS BLOODY SPOILSPORT

and upon some (noobish) attempt to hack things (like param.sfo and stuff) into working order, you still get

THIS

I feel like tearing my heart out…

P.S. I’ve finally made a Twitter account today. I’ve been thinking about making one since quite long ago but, well, I just never actually did. Here’s my page.

Approaching freedom and despair

lol forgot to publish this earlier, meh whatever.

So last Thursday was the final presentation for one of my subjects this semester and next Friday would be the final exam for another subject of mine. Coming up after that would be my year end semester break which I plan to fill with some part-time job or something as I really need some moolah right now. Due mainly to my desire for a Nintendo Wii and a HP TouchSmart TX2Z tablet PC. The tablet PC was a result of a semi-whimsical web search I did several days ago lol.

I’ve been thinking about getting a laptop ever since I went to my current college as everything here from notes to reservations are done with a computer. On a separate case, I have also been thinking about getting a touch pad for design drafts and actual drawings since I was still doing design back in my previous college, additionally I’ve been having a preference of being able look at my hand work directly at what I’m drawing rather than look away so I really actually didn’t like the idea of a USB touch pad too much. So the answer is a tablet PC~ only that they cost at least about RM5000 here. That’s 5 PS3 if you want to compare by value. Then I ran into this ridiculously good offer by HP that sells a TX2Z for 900USD! That’s only about RM3000! Down by 2 bloody PS3s! (I don’t know if it’s that much of a bargain for people actually living in the US but blah, forex is an ass so for the foreigner me it’s the mother lode) The offer is only available in the US but I spoke with a friend of mine currently in the USA and he agreed to help (if I send the money to him prior) so accessibility is covered. Only problem now is that I don’t have any money orz. Not to mention that since it’s an offer it’ll inevitable end eventually; not knowing when is also another source for pressure. Hence the determination to work~

Oh, then there is the Wii to… aaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!! >______>
