"VICTORY! Is it yours?" - Professor Pester Viva Piñata

Actually, it's not.
Well I've been busy over the weekend just attempting to relax. There's a lot on my mind that's just become like an irritating nag and I needed to distract that. So what did I do do to that?
Well... I played... and pardon my language....
MOTHERFUCKING "BATTLETOADS IN BATTLEMANIACS" on the Super Ninendo
oh mighty lord have mercy on my soul, how could I forgotten the hardships on that game?! I've never gotten past the third level! But, I did go further than I had ever gone in my life. But Battletaods in Battlemaniacs KICKS MY ASS.
- It hands it to me on a silver platter of BOOBIE EVIL (because even my mom made the comment that the Dark Queen has a rack)
- and right before it actually hands it to me, it falcon punches me in the face and shortly follows an upper cut to some imaginary balls that grew there right before I went to play this game.
My poor imaginary balls I grew for this game ;_; they just... died.

But all is not too bad, I did advance further than I had ever (I don't even know how long the levels are) and I did enjoy the game! I had lost some of my touch over the years (like being able to go through the first and second level without taking any damage) BUT THAT WON'T STOP ME!
Seriously though, MY HANDS TURN INTO FLUPPING HAMMERS! THAT'S BADASS!

Battletoads in Battlemaniac just you wait... one day, I'll beat you. AND THEN I'LL HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS. YOU HEAR ME, YOU SON OF OF-
Rat Canon: FIRE! *shoots a rat out*
OMPH! *hit* OWIE, THAT HURT!


Shining Tears: Tower of Heaven run #4 Advance mode
Wow, I'm doing the Tower of heaven for a 4th time. I'm currently I'm floor 25 and I just keep telling myself that soon (about floor 33 and higher) I'll be gaining some REAL exp! And then I think it'll be 1 more run after this before I reach the final level. I should play it now just so I know I'm starting the game again when I'm in a... "happy place". Oh god, I smell turkey... OH WAIT!


HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING!
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving and the turkey is cooking and we should all be thankful for whatever we value enough to thank. I thanks the pieces of security plastic that are easy to break for someone to open it, but it also give us a warning to tell us if someone tamper with the product. I thankful for this roof over my head, or else I'd be sleeping outside where it's cold and sad (it's been rainy lately) and people know I take a lot of naps! I'm thankful for my mom, dad and bro and all the people I love or are even just friends with, they're (and you guys) there being awesome possums just by existing! I'm than-

Aw, SCREW THIS CRAP!
Thanksgiving? Why do I not believe in you? I don't know but I'm always thankful everyday even if I take it for granted(?) I know it's/they're there. Like the piece of plastic I mentioned in the first thank you. For people who get on my nerves with their constant talk of only school. For my teachers who tell me that I should be grateful for the parents I have who are so concerned about my education, even more than what seams to be the average parent. For even the things that pissed me off, made me cry, have hurt my feelings, caused me pain, make me laugh and that make me despise myself- I see no need to be reminded that I'm not grateful enough. I've been giving into what I believe are my limitations, and I get so easily exhausted mentally that it transfer to physically in a short time period that I just plainly don't bother.

Thanksgiving: The time to make you stop and think and to be thankful for the things in life.
My idea of Thanksgiving: A good excuse for Turkey and for people to express their gratitude more freely about the smaller and silly things and even the more embarrassing things that are hard to say out loud normally. Also, the obligation that you HAVE to be more grateful than you already are and that it MUST be voiced out loud.

Anyways, have a merry (Canadian) Thanksgiving and may you have a nice day... because I think today was also Columbus day in the U.S.


So Kotobukiya... this is how you're going to play it?
Well back on Sept. 30, 2009 I made a journal entry entitled "This appears to be a ventish journal..." talk about all the figurines for Shining Wind they were making. Another preview image was revealed on one of their figurines and one of my guesses were right so far on the "???" (It was the last one) and it is Elwyn based off the cover for "Tony's Artwork for Shining World" (image right here: [link]) and so far... They're (There's a Xecty one based off the same cover too) the scale of 1/6 the original size instead of the normal 1/8 the original size. And my thoughts on the figurine so far are just... I don't know. The idea is nice and awesome and it looks very well sculpted, but I'll see when it's painted. I don't feel a charm radiating from them. They're pretty! but even the image it's based off of... Tony Taka drew them beautifully, but that's just about it.

Also, the Celestia figurine should be coming out this month. I think it's suppose to be near the end of the month...
If you don't know the figurine I'm talking about, here's an image: [link]

As for Seena (based off the Shining Wind Novel) and Clalaclan (in her maid costume, based off from the "Fan Festa" - Fan Disk) should be coming out next month. I honestly can't wait for those, they look really great!
Once again, if you don't know what they look like...

OH, SPEAKING OF FIGURINES!
WARNING: not that you'll see anything bad, but this chick is mostly naked. Click the links mentioned in this section at your own risk.
Damn, I don't like the character design of Leina/Reina's character design from Queen's Blade really that much at all. Here's an image of here: [link] not the best, but all the other ones I could find are just... Well it's Queen's Blade! What can I say? I'm not into the thing Queen's Blade is trying to really show (although it shocks me to how much they do, to a point where I'm laughing at it and then I start talking about it like I'm some sort of pervert) but each character intrigues me.
Anyways, I thought I'd take time to give honorable mention to a figurine of Leina that they're making, and my god, I WANT IT. (or at least one day in my life to physically see it.) It's based off this image of Leina here (blond one: [link]) and I remember seeing it, not caring for it at all. But I saw this and my jaw draopped at the sculpting job and most of the painting job. I LOVE IT.
Here's a nice shot of her: [link]
And here's a full body front shot of her here: [link]
I'm sorry... but DAMN. It looks really soft and... squishy?! I don't know but I love it! I feel that if I actually touch it, it'll be squishy like the Xecty Figurine here: [link]
So yeah... it looked so good, it had me talking about it.
This figurine is of Leina/Reina from Queen's Blade and I don't know who is manufacturing it.


Bran New Camera
But I'm already having a little beef with it. But I came to discover this was partly because of the "zoom" function on this camera. The Digital zoom has been disabled from it (thanks to dad) but I still get really pixelated work. This zoom makes stuff look bad. I have to physically move closer to the object if I want some quality shots.
Ah well, what can you do? know your camera, play with it and adapt to the situations... or get a new camera XD
But I'll stick with this one because I've been through worse with that older camera. Besides... I NEED to get a memory card for the new camera. There's none XD

Oh, speaking of the old camera (the sentence before), I can bring the old camera to school now since it's basically busted anyways. But this will be good because I need to record people walking for media! The picture function may be a piece of poo, but the video function works like a pain in the ass! Finally, I can get places with my media project, I'm honestly at a stand still.


I have a headache now from something and I have school tomorrow, so I'll end it here. I might try to make an update soon.
