Some Announcements...

Hey, everyone! Surprised I actually appeared with a post today? To tell you the truth, I was going to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, but there were some...problems that came up during so.

My Laptop died again, and it's the Motherboard...again. So, I'm unable to play games or basically do anything without a computer freezing up and completely messing up on everything. To add to that, I won't be getting another laptop, but possibly a Desktop and that's not going to be for awhile. I will only be on the Desktop for awhile, and I won't be gaming at all.

Second of all, Merry Christmas! I'm wondering what you guys got from it. My family pulled through at the last minute and got me the PSP 3000 along with PangYa Portable & Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force 4. I've stopped working on my Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan-Fiction for now and decided to settle in and continue Blackbullet (FanFiction.net) & Links to Fantasy (Check deviantART). Kinda sad for the YGO FF, since GX_ST just came out with episode 117, but I'd rather watch the Anime.

Thirdly, I've kinda lost interest in blogging alot. Indeed, I can do Anime reviews and post maintenance notes, but I don't wanna do that anymore. It gets to repetitive, and most of the stuff is just MyShop now. So, as a result, I won't post as much as I used to on the blog. Besides, I got a school life, too, and it's been kind of whack with the economy lately.

Thank you for reading, and most importantly, thank you for viewing my blog so much!

[Anime Review] - Kara no Kyoukai ~The Garden of Sinners~

I support this epic Pairing~!

So, I just finished watching Kara no Kyoukai Movie 7, and that's the last movie of the series! It was pretty cute, and I almost cried twice because of how cute, yet sad it was... I guess I should just review now and get straight to the point and review the FULL Anime.

Storyline - 8.9/10
Shiki basically has a split personality. One of her sides want to kill, while one is what you could call "Fragile". She calls the fragile "Shiki" while she calls the Murderous side, "SHIKI" and SHIKI later dies to protect Shiki. (This is further explained in Movie 7) I only rate this 8.9, because the storyline does not go in numerical order, and therefore is very confusing even watching it in the order it goes in. However, this is all explained and clarified in Movie 7.

Art - 10/10
The blood, Character designs, and the way each murder was interpreted was simply stunning. It all looked really nice and blended easily with colors. There was no overuse (I mean like, zero) Kaomoji expressions, because this is a serious Anime. Basically, it's Higurashi's Nature.

Characters -10/10
Each Character had a personality that was portrayed well, and each character had a part in the story. There was an automatic pairing into the story, that in a way was not carried out, but also carried out. Mikiya is in love with Shiki, and Shiki basically rejected him at first. In a way though, Shiki can express her feelings without even telling him.

Overall Grade - 9.6
This anime is a great one to watch, I recommend it to people who like Mystery or Murder-type Animes. If you do plan on watching it, Google the movie order, since you'll basically spoil most of it if you go in numerical order.

Life & Love...

If only real life were more like Anime Pairings!

So, this Christmas may be a little troubled, because of all the bills being bunched up and the check that my mom is looking forward to isn't coming. I'm not saying this because of the presents, but almost everyday something new comes up and it's worse than before. Usually, it's my father's fault, and right now we're running low on supplies and such, so we need to to conserve what we have..

However, I feel kinda embarrassed at the moment...
You see, some of you probably know I had a crush on this one guy years ago (if you're my friend, I told you), and how we're like best buddies now?
...Well, that feeling's come back. Though, I'm kinda ashamed of myself because I told him once, but I've hidden the feeling for quite awhile now. Like, I don't even know how to type "I love you" without freaking out (Not even kidding ._.;;). My friends have been cheering me on since I've told them, and I'm kinda happy about it. I told my mom, who told only one of my brothers, and they've been encouraging me, too. (Though, my other brothers are gonna be ticked.)
Ack, I can't even talk about it right now. Expect an Anime/Game Review soon, though...

Winter Break, huh?

Star Arcana Social Link FTW. -shot-
So, winter break has arrived huh? For most of us, we're just going to go shopping for gifts, but some of us will be gaming to our heart's content. For me, I'll be writing up tons of Links to Fantasy & Blackbullet Chapters, and that'll be enough for me to go by for awhile.

But, what about you? How are you gonna spend your break?

Waah, now I'm not unique with my xmas clothes anymore D8

Wishlist Suprises~ (Part 2)

Clannad for Christmas, anyone?

So, in this post, we're continuing with three final items (well, 4, but I'll just show the 4th one at the end), and this one's actually for other gaming consoles I actually have right now!

Another Persona Game, but the fourth addition to the Persona series! Persona 3: FES was a major badass, but I never got to see Persona 4 up close or got a feel to it myself. No one in Texas has heard of Persona, so it's quite annoying to try and get. However, I'm sure I'll find this one way or another.


Another Kingdom Hearts game to add to my growing KH Collection. Yes, I want KH358/2 Days, since it looked pretty popular (Not to mention: good. I mean, Organization 13 finally gets their true main game). My brother (who knows nothing about Kingdom Hearts) actually recommended this to me after seeing it on the commercial once. So, after a few debates, I decided I was going for it anyways.


What better way to talk on Skype then have an actual microphone right by me. I'm asking for headmics, yes a Head Microphone. They aren't as much as the games, but it's nice to have something to use so people can hear me clearly.

So, yeah. That's my wishlist! I don't have anymore ideas, and hopefully my brother doesn't ask me for any presents again. I went brain dead after all this, but before I go...


Asking for a Pre-Paid card from FailTreev, but then again, I always ask for this, so...

Wishlist Suprises~ (Part 1)

A new piece of artwork from Trickster Online, after Armcho left.
Lately, I've been asked to create lists for my family because of, well, Christmas! I quickly asked for a PSP for my mother (even though it might be late, plus I don't care about the PSP2 or PSP Go) and some games.


You should've known the first game I would jot down would be Persona 3: Portable. I'm a large Persona Fan, even if I just played SMT: Imagine or Persona 3: FES. I can not only play as a girl XD, but I won't have to worry so much about having nothing else to play on Car Trips.


FFF Yeah, PangYa. PangYa may not be my favorite game due to it's take over by NTreev, but having NTreevSoft's PSP version, would surely be my favorite add-on to a game list. I won't even have to pay a ton of pang, because it should be easy to get some!


You should know, being a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan as well, asking for Tag Force 3 & 4 wouldn't be much a suprise to viewers of my Blog. Tag Force 3 is with GX, while Tag Force 4 is with 5D's, so...

I'll be posting another wishlist on here, but it'll deal with my presents that aren't PSP related. I don't expect most of them to be here ON christmas day, I mean, it's 2010, it's another year that can go around!

Sorry...

Sorry for not posting in quite awhile. I mean, I would post more, but there isn't really anything to talk about. Unless you'd like to see me rant about gaming and such, but otherwise there isn't anything I can post about in Blogspot, and even LiveJournal. Twitter basically has all my updates now, and I haven't worked on Pieces of Me for a bit. Then, there's also the fact that I still need to post Game Reviews on my Blog and Anime Reviews. I just got through testing last week, and I'll be attempting to post alot as I go through this year.
I should also give you specific details and remind you on what I'm reviewing Games, Anime, and other stuff on.

Games
Community, Graphics, Gameplay, *Economy
Anime
Storyline, *Art, Characters
Drama
Storyline & Characters
Books
Storyline

* = Optional to Review About

So, yeah. I'll try to post about my life as much as possible on my blog~

Updates, Apologies, and Much More.

"We'll be shopping, decorating, and [have] plenty of snow~"

Yep, I'm alive. No really, I am xD;. I apologize for not updating the blog as much as possible. Lately, I've been trying to get alot of things up and running, and therefore do not have much time to update the Blogspot blog. However, I've updated my LiveJournal during the weekend, so you may wanna read that before anything else if you wanna know about my life.

Secondly, the Game List will be updated sooner or later. I haven't been able to update anything but my DeviantArt, and LiveJournal. My Laptop will have it's Monthly System Restore routine (lol, but I left it w/o a firewall for quite awhile.) and I will have to reinstall everything along with recover all of my music from the CDs I have.

Lastly: I'll have PangYa and Lunia returned to the gaming list, along with Grand Chase... again.

Testing Updates

lol, Shinji stop jacking food.

So, I just got an update on my tests. Today and Tomorrow I will be taking my writing mock, and all next week I'll be testing on all my tests through the week. Nothing big, but then I have early release on the 18th >.<;;

Gaming Updates & Life Updates

Shinji's so OOC here.

I would like to make an announcement for all the people who are viewing my blog and would like to spot me In-Game whether to just talk or play around. This month is December, therefore, I will be taking 6 large tests this year.

Around the first week of December, I will be taking a Writing Mock test and therefore will not be able to play any games.

Around the week before Winter Break, I will be taking four more Mock tests and will be stuck in a room for 8 hours on end. This means, I will not be playing any games for the rest of those days.

Due to my Schedule, my Gaming time has been placed at an all time low. This means, I will be postponing all gaming schedule times on my gaming list.

The only reason I wasn't on these few weeks were due to Anime watching, xD.

Anime Progress - 2009/11/28

Under 27 Days till Christmas, seriously?!

I guess you could say that I'm gaming more than watching Anime now, as I've made a small list on Anime-Planet that you could see all my records of the Animes I've watched/not watched/don't wanna etc.

However, I've been watching Yu-Gi-Oh! GX lately, so Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters hasn't been doing any good other than rotting themselves in my downloads folder. Kara no Kyoukai's 7th Movie comes out in December, so I have to wait for that as well.

So, while watching Yu-Gi-Oh! I will also be watching one of the animes I saw late at night on Cartoon Network (JP Subbed, of course).
.Hack//ROOTS!

Yes, Roots. I plan on watching the others some time later in the future, but ROOTS was the one I watched and loved, but never got to finish it. Besides, I'd like to see how the storyline is in Japanese as well.

If you would like to see my list of Anime, click here!

Thanksgiving Weekend!

First of all, I'd like to thank all the viewers of my blog for... well, viewing! I was actually quite suprised when I got over 1,000 views from the USA. I never realized how many were actually viewing, and maybe even more. So, I'd like to thank you all personally with this small post.

Thank you very much and I will try to update ASAP!

And Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Persona 3: Portable (Late) - Add-Ons to Blogs! x3

I Need to Get Into Dueling Again... (and other information)

I don't know why I have a random Trickster Online photo, lol.

I'm not even kidding. I've been so busy collecting cards, I forget that I need to construct a deck to play against schoolfriends. Then again, I'm also playing World Championship '08 and '09, and I'm studying Japanese so I've been having an eh-ish schedule now.

Anyways, I'm at school right now, typing up and doing a vow to stay silent for kids rights around the world :D. Basically, I'm trying to stay quiet all day at school (Usually goes on all day, but meh), and many of my friends are doing it, too. Well, that's another blog post (quite boring for some)

Help Here!: Rejoining Games!

I need your help, and fast! I wanna rejoin a few gaming communities, but I'm kind of wary here. I will list a few questions on this blog, and if you can, please answer them! I will also be listing the games here as well.

~Questions~

1) How has the community changed? Better? Worse? If so, please tell me how it has changed.

2) Has leveling gotten easier? Harder? Are quests easy to complete, or have they gotten to the point for relying on friends?

3) Has this game turned into a total LOLCASHSHOP game? Has it made anything good enough for players without money to withstand certain things?

4) Is PvP required to level now?

5) How is the economy?

and lastly:

6) RECENT UPDATES PRZ? xD;;

Following Games:

Lunia, LaTale, Wonderland Online

If I get really negative reviews, I probably won't stay for long. If I get NO reviews, I'm probably gonna see for myself.

New Month, New Updates, More News...

Indeed, as I'm going to be trying to post more into my blog as much as possible, and usually about my life and such.

Quick Announcement: Until my games work for me, I will not be playing any of them. I've uninstalled all except Dinomachia, since that's the only one that'll catch my interest.

Also, working on new layout, too. Keep a look out on that.

Happy (early) Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone and anyone looking at this blog! Don't eat too much candy (cuz I highly doubt that Raven's not gonna show any mercy in the trick or treat basket.

TinierMe!

TinierMe is an Online Chatting "Game" that's similar to Gaia Online...only cuter. This game is made by GCREST, which in a fact, is the same Company that's hosting トリックスター＋, also known as Trickster+ (Japanese version of Trickster Online). Fishing is the only game on the thing so far, but it's still updating and it's easy to get coins with surveys and ringing people.
So far, I've seen people dress up as Ash from Pokemon, and Touhou Characters, and one of my forum-mates are trying to dress up as a character from the Persona series.
The Community's quite nice, and I'm loving every step of it.
It's in beta, too, so there's gonna be some problems sticking to it. Once it comes out officially, I'll review it fully! ^^
(is awaiting for someone to mimic Judai Yuki's clothing x3)

Also, I'm feeling quite generous. Well, actually, I'll do this once in awhile. I'll be inviting people to TinierMe, this includes secondary accounts for more coins. I get 300 each person I invite and they sign up. You also get 300 coins, and the fact that the referral system's for everyone.

I'd do that, "Email me @ PhoenixLuv@live.com" crap, but it sounds like a bot, so just ask me for an invitation.

Moetan Corner: Educational for Some!

So, not only is Moetan cute, but very educational! During the show, you will hear "engrish," but to tell you the truth it's actually pretty good. The characters will say a phrase in Japanese, then translate it to English for people to learn that phrase. So far Pastel Ink & Tempera Sumi have done it, so it's pretty neat. I think I'll finish this Anime soon, because it's only 13 Episodes.

Moetan: The Third Anime!

While watching Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and waiting for Movie 7 of Kara no Kyoukai to be subbed, I'll be watching Moetan! Another cutesy Anime, and so far I've only watched one episode and loved it! Go, Magical Teacher Pastel Ink! xD;

Well, the Nyxx and Noxx pets were already out, but yeah. xD

Trickster is to Gametree as LaTale is to HappyOZ?!

Awhile back, Gametree and HappyOZ had partnered up with NtreevSoft + ActozSoft. I was looking up information on the two companies and I'm just going to come up with a short conclusion.
Both game companies are running out on money! The Economy's gonna blow!
NTreevSoft is still there, it's just the fact that Gametree has partnered up with them and with a conclusion, they have added more games. Dinomachia, Trickster Online, and PangYa were obviously not making enough income.
HappyOZ has also brought in a game in Closed Beta, known as Jongchun. Their other games (LaTale, A3, & XUP) never brought enough income either.

Ecnomony's busting badly for all of us, but it seems South Korea's going down as well.
I will search up more information when I get the chance, but that's all for now.

Grand Chase - 10/21 Patch Notes

[General]
Halloween Extravaganza event has been added until November 3rd
Receive a Creepy Pumpkin Roll game board at first login
Creepy Pumpkin Roll is a board game within Grand Chase that is played by rolling two six-sided dice
One roll is earned for every hour of gameplay, up to a maximum of five rolls per day
Up to three additional rolls per day may be purchased from the shop
Prizes will be given based on the space your marker lands on
Try to get around the board as many times as you can for special prizes at the end!
The Park has been redecorated for Halloween
A cursed Jiang Shi lower armor accessory will be given as a timed 2-day item every day you log in during the event.
If you log in at least once each day for 10 days or more, the Jiang Shi will be yours to keep once the event ends!
Special brand new Halloween sets Jiang Shi and Zombie will be sold in the shop
The popular team PvP mode "Smashing Pumpkins" has been temporarily re-added during the event with special rewards to the victors.
The Kanavan Colosseum is open for BATTLE!
Kanavan Colosseum is a world premiere system of competitive PvP ranking that utilizes skill-based ratings similar to the "King of the Hill" tournament.
This feature may only be accessed from the Colosseum server, a special new server in which there is no shop, no dungeon, no chat, just BATTLE!
To enhance the competition and increase the pool of available competitiors, this server will only be open from 1 PM to 10 PM PST/PDT each day. However, during this open beta, the server will be available ALL THE TIME for testing, so get in there and BATTLE! (notice a recurring theme?)
To play, click the BATTLE! button; this will place you in a room with a randomly seleced opponent. You will not be able to see your opponent's character or stats.
All matches are fought on a random map with a format similar to tag match which requires players to select three characters (you can pick the same character multiple times though).
Ratings will be reset every week, with prizes given to the best gladiators and gladiatrices.
For this inaugural event, ratings will NOT be reset, so to recognize the achievement of being on top after TWO weeks, extra-special prizes have been arranged:
First Place:
Any 1 weapon (limited event weapons will be timed for 30 days).
Any 1 armor set (includes sets in the Shop, Gacha sets; limited sale sets will be timed for 30 days).
Any 1 accessory (includes accessories in the Shop, no longer available accessories, mission accessories; limited accessories will be timed for 30 days).
Any pet (includes pets in the Shop, Seal Breaker Gacha, Refer-a-Friend, and Gacha pets, including those no longer available, all permanent).
Second Place:
Black Champion Armor Set (30 Days)
Warrior Weapon (10 Days) [Based on your ranking character]
GC Club (7 Days)
Third Place:
White Champion Armor Set (30 Days)
Warrior Weapon (10 Days) [Based on your ranking character]
GC Club (7 Days)
4th~10th Place:
Warrior Weapon (10 Days) [Based on your ranking character]
GC Club (7 Days)
Please refer to the website for more details.
The Refer-a-Friend event has been re-added until November 3rd
Players who participated in the previous Refer-a-Friend event have had their referral records cleared and may participate again.
New and Returning Knights will have an option when logging in to name the friend who referred them.
A "Returning Knight" is any player who has not logged in since September 1st, 2009.
A "New Knight" is any account created during the event period.
Prizes will be given out upon login to new, returning, and existing knights.
The player who refers a new or returning Knight will receive prizes when that Knight performs an attendance check.
New and Returning Knights will also receive prizes for their first attendance check.
A player can refer up to 12 new or returning Knights, and will receive progressively better prizes for each one that performs an attendance check.
As an added bonus, friends receive a 30% bonus to XP and GP when playing on the same team in PvP or Dungeons for 45 days.
For a full explanation of the event, please visit the event page on the official website.
A new character, Sieghart the Gladiator is coming!
Sieghart NPCs have been added to the park to promote the new character's upcoming release!

The special level 55 Zombie armor set has been added for all characters until November 3rd.
The special level 25 Jiang Shi armor set has been added for all characters until November 3rd.


--Grand Chase Team

UPDATE: The following items have been moved to next week's patch, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If every player in a full dungeon or PvP room types in "trick or treat" (all lower case) after readying up, EXP and GP will be doubled.
Inside dungeons, a mysterious witch will periodically fly overhead and drop pumpkin treats with power-ups inside!
Elven Forest and Outer Wall of Serdin PvP maps have been redecorated for Halloween

[First Marathon] - PangYa Marathon!: October~November!

From October 15th~November 4th, I will be playing a PangYa Marathon! It isn't because of JUST Halloween, though. I also have two OTHER announcements.

First off: SeeDark, the MAIN artist of PangYa, had died on October 1st(?), 2009 from an Illness. This gave me a shock, as no one could ever mimic his style.

Second off: Armcho, the main arist of TRICKSTER, had quit his job, and both of the jobs were transferred to Nyanya and someone else. I'm not sure, though.

So, RIP SeeD and goodbye Armcho ;o;, you were so FREAKIN' Awesome >___<;;

So, on the game info post I will change the maintenance to October 14th. However, I found it sad that the wings never stayed too long...

My Review was accepted!?

Awhile back, I had reviewed the game TalesRunner by gPotato for $10 to be added to my account. What was pretty good was, it got accepted on the first try & it's my first ever CORRECT review imo, so I guess I could try to make it more detailed next time x3.
