Dragonball Z's New Time Slot
2007-08-25 05:17:00
For those who have been following (or re-following) the Cell saga on Cartoon Network can now catch it at 10:30 PM. I've been missing it for a month seeing that I have a family gather at its original time slot. The episode is called "Say Goodbye, 17". I assume it's the episode where Android 16 fights off Cell to save their hides. It's not very far from the episodes with Vegeta fights Cell. Those are my favorite episodes of the saga. Especially when he says: "I am Super Vegeta."

So Many Anime to Watch, So Little Time (Contains Spoilers for Bleach)
2007-08-23 08:15:00
I'm catching up to an anime that I have put off for an year when I started watching it. After getting through an boring story arc, the fun begins... Click read more if you have watched Bleach up to episode 110. After finishing the Bounto arc on Bleach (Episode 109), I'm getting close to the latest episodes. To be honest, the ending of the Bounto arc was terrible. What happened to Kariya could have happened a while back, like when the arc started. Now I know what the fans complain about. There were some high and low points of the arc, but it's time to move on. After catching up to Bleach, there are some more anime I want to catch up on. 1) Death Note. There are 6 more episodes left for me to watch. The show premiers in Canada next month and they have yet to announce the English voice cast. Maybe they did already, but I'm being slow with the news lately... 2) N.H.K. ni Youkoso! 3 more episodes of this I need to finish. It's been licensed at ACEN in May by ADV and the DVD r...

Audition Gameplay Video
2007-08-22 12:32:00
Ever heard of Audition ? Well, it's a game where you dance with people all around the world and have fun. Sounds familiar? Maybe you're thinking about Dance Dance Revolution (Xbox Live Version), but with feminine looking characters and music from well known pop artists.. Audition is from the guys who brought us Maple Story (Nexon). It's free to play [I think], however there are add-ons you can buy for your character in the same nature of MS. I have thought about playing this game soon. When I do, I'll be back with an personal overview. Meanwhile, here is a YouTube gameplay vid with music not used in the game.

The Road to Karazhan
2007-08-21 03:05:00
I got the third fragment from Arcatraz last night. We also cleared the whole instance. The last boss, Harbinger Skyriss, was fun fighting. I wish I could have taken screenshots or recorded a video of the fight, but my computer's performance is falling apart. Instead, here is a video from the Guild "Abandoned" taking down Skyriss. The fight is similar to ours. In the end of our instance run, nothing good out of there for me dropped. The important thing is that I'm very close to getting keyed for Kara zhan . :)

No Otaku Knows The Trouble I've Seen - Part 2
2007-08-17 12:33:00
While another forum dweller was trying to chase me off of the forum, another one was chasing others away. There were series of unfortunate events going on on at the "nameless" forum. Like a member turned moderator abusing his power on the whole message board. This guy was far worse than our Camui fanatic. Note: Please read this entry if you find any of this "offensive". After showing my presence on the forum a couple of moths after joining, I noticed another member who had the same number of posts as Camuicon worshiper. He was no threat to me or the others. He seemed real informative, although he was a total fanboy. He was so popular, that in a few months, he was elected moderator! "Congratulations!" I thought. I take it back. After being promoted, he was very quiet and other members went about their discussions. Three months since his promotion, my time on the forum was running out. He started posting in every thread on the forum. Not only they were his witty, informative posts, t...

Stormwind Stampede!

I enjoyed this video created by the folks at WoWInsider of Taurens "stampeding" from The Barrens all the way to Stormwind. It looks really fun, but I probably would die half-way before getting there with my luck. I don't have a Tauren character anyway. I

Top 5 Anime Opening/Ending Themes You Should Hear
2007-08-17 02:19:00
Here is a top 5 list with my favorite anime opening and ending themes you should check out. Beat Crusaders - Tonight, Tonight The fourth opening theme to Bleach. The lyrics are in Engrish, but it's a catchy tune. Flow - DAYS A very moving song from the first Eureka Seven opening. The same group who did "GO!!" for the fourth opening theme of Naruto. T.M. Revolution - Hear t of Sword The third ending theme to Rurouni Kenshin. This is the song that got me into TMR's works. "Heart of Sword" is TMR's notable songs of his career. T.M. Revolution - Invoke The first opening theme to the infamous Gundam Seed series. Invoke is the only thing of the series that I will come in contact with. Do as Infinity - Deep Forest Deep Forest--or "Fukai Mori", is the "anthem", though it's the second ending theme to the Inuyasha series.

New WoW Expansion Confirmed: "Wrath of the Lich King"
2007-08-05 09:44:00
A new World of Warcraft expansion pack has been confirmed at Blizzcon 2007 today. The new expansion will be called "Wrath of the Lich King ". The level cap will be raised to 80, a new map to explore: Northrend, there will be a new class: Death Knight, also players will be able to customize their character with new hairstyles. Plus, new battlegrounds have been announced!This is neat, though it's bad for new players. The Burning Crusade has been out for 8 months, and many new players, like myself, are still exploring Outland. It has been nearly a month since I hit level 70, I have yet to fully experience Arena, and as far as raiding goes, I will miss out on Karazhan. Hopefully, this will be released in the second quarter of 2009. This will give everybody time to do everything before going to Northrend.Check out the trailer:

I DID IT!!
2007-07-11 06:34:00
At 3:59 AM, on Saturday, July 7th, 2007 (*hint* *hint*), I made it to level 70!My hopes of getting to 70 were in Jeporady when my first instance group for the night in Sethekk Halls broke up after a mage complained about me pulling a room full of humanoid birds. I understand what I did was an accident. Now the mage is now on my /ignore list for an undetermined amount of time. After leaving the group, I went to Blade's Edge Mountains to do grinding quests, until I got another invite for another Sethekk Halls group. Yay!According to my Clock AddOn, I had 1hr and 30min until ding. That hour and half half went by fast. By the time we were near the last boss, I received the level I've been waiting for for 7 months (and on the "luckiest" day of the year).Everything went smoothly, until when we got to the last boss. The group leader changed the loot setting to master. Oh noes! This is the boss that drops [Trousers of Oblivion]. After some disagreement with a couple of group members, he c...

Level 69. This is the first time I've been so close to being "complete" on an online game. Ragnarok Online: Level Cap - 99. Highest level I have gotten was Level 63 on Priest Final Fantasy XI: Level Cap - 75. Highest level achieved: Level 46 Red Mage. Now...I'm just 660,000 xp away from level 70 on World of Warcraft.I'm going to jump on some Sethekk Hall runs tomorrow night. Since today is a holiday, maybe I'll log on early and search for some groups.Wish me luck! /charge

Level 68 On the Way...
2007-06-27 10:20:00
180k left until 68. Neatness. I finished the "Ring of Blood" quest line sunday night and got a new staff as a reward. That is that probably the last item I'll get until 70.Up next, Shadowmoon Valley...After I finish up with Nagrand (and maybe...just maybe, I'll get a shot at that bugged Harbinger quest.)

Soon to be 67
2007-06-23 01:01:00
200k to go until I hit 67. I have been leveling in Nagrand since Sunday. I went back to Hellfire Peninsula and finished a couple of quests that I've had since level 60. I will go back to Zangarmarsh and Terokkar later to finish a few more quests, especially this one that I'm having problems with.

[Guide] Journey to Outland (Horde Version)
2007-06-22 11:31:00
This little guide is for those who do not know how to get to Outland after hitting level 58 (or 60). This guide is designed for Horde players, but you should be able to find a work-around for Alliance.The Dark PortalThe Dark Portal is located in Blasted Lands, south of Swamp of Sorrows.To get to Blasted Lands, if you have previously quested there, you can fly to Stonard. If you have not been there before, road trip! You should bring a buddy to help you through (especially on a PvP server). After getting to Stonard (and getting the flight path for later, if you didn't come here earlier), go south into Blasted Lands.The Dark Portal is the Big Crater on the middle of the map, as shown above. Once you get to the Dark Portal, grab the quest to get started on the other side of the portal. Once you go through, you will be in Hellfire Peninsula. Congratulations! You're in Outland! Don't forget to hand in the quest from Azeroth to the NPC. This will also unlock a flight path to Thrallmar,...

Top 3 Battleground Minions
2007-06-21 05:26:00
Yes, there are 5 minions in all; Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Felhunter and Felguard. However, there are only three of them I always use in Battle grounds. Here are the minions and the reasons why I use them:Felhunter - There's the theory that Felhunters are good on PvP realms, and are sort of useless on PvE realms. This is somewhat true... Felhunters have the Tainted Blood skill, which reduces the targets' attack power. It is also stackable up to five times. Curse of Recklessness is a good add-on with TB.Imp - Fire Bolt. That is all there is to it. When I use Imp in PvP situations, it helps. Using your Imp's Fire Bolt and your Shadowbolt or Soul Fire, will turn you into a mage: Two Shot Goodness. Of course, DPS skills helps.Succubus - My least favorite minion for PvP. She is good for Seduction, but for everything else...you might as well just use fear. Most of the time Seduction will fail and the Succubus will eventually run out of mana, but a chance of Seduction being cast is bett...

[Opinion] If there was a Warcraft movie...
2007-06-15 02:07:00
...would you see it? My answer would be "maybe". Watching the movies of both the original and Burning Crusade openings made me think "this would make a good movie, in theaters". If one was made now, it would likely bomb, the way "Final Fantasy: The Sprits Within" did. However, there are World of Warcraft novels and Manga. Plus, a Warcraft movie would get more people into playing it or be more aware of it ("Make Love, Not Warcraft" anyone?). The episode of South Park helped a bit and I have seen players running around with references from the episode.Well, what are your opinions?

After some thinking (and camping the AH for Elixir of Shadow Power for 2 weeks), I have decided to buy the mount. There's a little problem...I need more gold! I shouldn't have brought the dust and just keep the 150g. I would have had it right about now. Well, I have 200 gold to go until I get it, hopefully by the end of the week if I keep getting green drops and getting junk to sell...With the discount getting the skill in Silvermoon city, it shouldn't be much longer...
