After finishing Suiko IV, my RPG-lovin' cells were all pumped up and ready to play yet another endless saga of killing monsters and the such. Went down to shop. No Star Ocean 3 yet. Maybe I should continue playing it in Japanese, but I haven't got the hang of the battle system yet.

So I'll get to the point: Yesterday I discovered an interesting little addition to the shelves of the game shop. Guess what? �^�—�_“]�¶3: Nocturne(Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, English version). Now I doubt if you have heard of this game, but under the influence of many art sites, like Campari Orange I developed an interest in the series. So... I bought me a copy.

Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne(let's just call it Megaten, shall we, like everyone else) is rated MATURE for the following reasons: blood, intense violence, language and sexual themes. If that hasn't caught your attention yet I don't know what will. Let's just steal a snippet from Play-Asia's description of the game.

'Shin Megami Tensei III follows the story of a typical senior high school student living in Tokyo. After awaking from a dream, he finds himself in Vortex World, the destroyed world that contains the city Tokyo Conception. Demons, which make a return from the previous installments in the series, revive the young man and ready him for his upcoming adventures.'

Now I have played up until the Conception, which basically refers to the Apocalypse, or the end of the world. Some weird people including your teacher are going to rebuild the world, and in her words, 'The world must die for it to be born again'. And then you turn into a Demon... and... my game jams here. It stalls. I will go change the CD tomorrow and rant more about the game, battle system, graphics, etc.

It's the holidays, booyah! XD Had a fun time chatting and doodling in OpenCanvas with her last night. And we've come to a decision that cube.13 will have more pages after all. An assumed 50 in total. Shoganai because I wanted to fit in the RO 4comas and random illusts. Goodies! :D

So since it's the holidays, today my family is going on a trip to KL. We'll be staying at my aunt's place like always, and we won't be back until Monday/Tuesday. Gives me enough time to get all the stuff I want so I won't be bored out of my behind these two months. :P I'm definitely gonna get me some new WJs because I need to find out more about Seven Bridge(Mr. Fullswing).

Seki, yes, every Naruto fan should get that game. You even get to pull off everyones's favorite taijutsu oogi, 'Sen Nen Koroshi', for crying out loud. *pokes* And the 'Kuchi Yose no Justu's just rock. We get a glimps of Yondaime! XD Haku's available as a playable character so Haku fans should watch out too. *prods* By the way, Seki, I'm halfway through downloading those screentones, but I'll only be able to finish downloading them after I come back from KL. It's a huge file! But thank you! :P Oh, and I forgot to say that this game has made me love Neji-kun. :D

THATS NOT TRUEEE! You're just jealous because you've discovered that Toganou only reads comics! :P Joking, ne. Hehe! Anyways, be sure to show me ES21 Chapter 0! Please! You be damn lucky you have goodies like these... *stabs* But if you didn't get the Japanese version of the first volume, you'll have missed out on a stupid Sena-as-Momotarou extra comic at the end. I can scan and translate that for you! :D Was planning to do so anyway. And oh, you really should check out Fast Junkie, because there are really kakkoi pictures of everyone, yes, Hiruma and also... Ishimaru! Hehe~

I've to go now, so happy holidays minna!

I'm really not a blog person anymore, I don't feel like blogging every now and then, and I don't pay much attention to my Internet life like before... but this is good because I pretty much won't have anytime to do anything next year.

These few days have been really frustrating. I suppose some of you know the feeling of having to put up with an extremely obnoxious sibling who seems to think that he's the king of the universe, and what he says is law, be it reasonable or not. Well... my brother is a fucking idiot. He's so fake it makes me sick. I really want to smash his big head into a wall. I can stand taking the blame for the mistakes I've made, but when I am punished also for having a moron for a brother... the world just never is fair to my benefit.

Anyways, to relieve stress, I've been playing a lot of Naruto: Narutimate Hero instead of RO. RO sucks because my brother joined a guild and he thinks he's so great... *cough* Everyone who loves Naruto should go get a copy of NNH I say. The game rocks! The system is like One Piece: Grand Battle 2 but it looks so much better because it's made for the PS2. And the cell animation, fittingly called Comic Cell Shading, is really cool. Adds to the Kishimoto effect. :D And seeing all the ninjutsus fully animated is a big bonus! From Sharingan to Chidori to Raikiri... whoo! XD They should've put more Hayate in! Or made him a playable character at least... me wants to pull off 'Mikazuki no Mai' in the worst way ever. >:D But anyway! Hayate's voice is sexy. At least I think so anyway. Very nice. And Gemma's voice is actually Hirata(Gojyo)-san! Hehe. Didn't know Gemma's hair was blue... but I'm off-topic. 3 reasons you should get NNH:
1 Everything about Naruto is cool.
2 Goodies, man, goodies.
3 Gekkou Hayate
*cough* But then, I am the Hayate freak. NNH's OP song is really cool though! Used the lyrics for the layout. It's called 'Haruka Kanata' by Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Download it if you can, I just did and I've been playing it on-loop for oh so long now. :D Just my kind of shounen manga song.

Um, Fenix, I've ran into a little problem with cube.13... it seems I don't have enough pages to finish the Deuil manga, let alone put the RO 4-comas in... I've used about 10++ pages now and can't seem to fit everything in the remaining seven... I was planning to put in illustrations too! Hey, SMS me and we can talk it over on AIM okay? When you're free. Glad to see you're appreciating Linkin Park songs too. They so rock. Uh, and do you think a Halloween pic would do for the cover by the way? It is way after that after all... the thing is I've already CG-ed it.

Hahaha, claim Toganou all you want Reins! Jumonji be mine! Mwahahaha! But I so hate you for having pre-ES21 goodies... *growls* Hey, if you're feeling extra kind, you might just wanna scan a pic of pre-ES21-Hiruma for me... please? Just so I could see the not-so-spiky hair. Nyahahaha.

I apologise beforehand for not being able to blog regularly from now on. My main aim these holidays is to finally set up an art site, or an art blog... if possible, for crying out loud... and I'd thought I'd changed my lazy ways... phooey even my mom's starting to notice... now she's trying to get me to learn to cook before it's too late. What does she mean by that, anyway...
