Wow!! I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote something!!
How frikken lazy am I?! (Actually don't answer that )

Well heaps of stuff has happened ... but too much to go into ...
Hmm... I really don't know what to write, I'm so out of it

Oh, one big thing is that I'm now up-to-date with everything FullMetal Alchemist (Manga-wise).
Thanks to AVCON (an Anime/Manga/Video Games convention hosted at the end of July), I decided to buy the FMA manga because it was SOOOO cheap... ... ... then I had to get the rest But it's worth it, it's such an awesome story and the art is fantastic.
I've also just finished my DragonBall VIZBIG manga collection!! Volume 5 (4 in 1) is MASSIVE!!

Oh, and Bleach Volume 28 came out last week too, so, yay! I just wish they would release them more often!! JAPAN IS UP TO 40!!!
*Sigh* oh well, at least I have my Urahara Hat to cheer me up...

Anyway, if I write anymore, I'm going to start rambling (oh, no ) so I'm gonna stop it here

It's good to write something again

Denny Crane - Lock and Load!!

Yay!! It's time for a Manga Update!!

As you may, or may not know, I love collecting Manga and I like to show it off :p
Here it is!


The 4th BIG Volume of Dragon Ball Z "will be avaliable next week" says my store Can't wait!!

All of Bleach, so far...

One Volume of Gantz (IT'S CRAZY!) and the first 6 of Naruto.

The rest of Naruto - I'm not collecting Shippuden....I just don't want to
And the beginning of (the original) Yu-Gi-Oh!

The last few volumes of the original, and all of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist

And finally, Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World and the first 3 Volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

Hooray!! Manga is cool!!!!!!!


OK, now for some important news...

!!!! IMPORTANT NEWS !!!!

I am going on holidays from the 8th of July to the 15th - so, obviously I wont be around
It also means that I won't be here for my birthday (the 10th)
I'm going to the snow - it's been SOOOOOO long since I've been...the last time was when I was a little kid
Just letting everyone know

Take care everyone!!

Hooray!! Another entry!

OK, now first things first - HEAT THE SOUL 6.
It's a pretty good game - and when you compare it to HTS5, it's friggen awesome!
While the game is not perfect, there are enough modes/characters/new specials to make up for it
At a glance you can see that the story mode is what the most effort went into - and it looks pretty damn good
Most of the story fights have small cut-scenes before hand, and they did very well with that!

I don't want to go too much into it (this isn't a review ) but, if you can, definately have a look at this game - its a great fighter wether your new to the series or an old HTS veteran.

Battle Stadium D.O.N.
I know that this has been out for ages, but I decided to finally have a look at it - I haven't played much (I'll explain later), but from what I have played, it's a decent brawler. It's fun, the controls are fairly easy to learn, and your favourite characters from Dragon Ball Z, One Piece and Naruto are smooshed into one game, like the Super Smash Brothers games or the Jump games on DS.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4
Another new addition to my collection, and another I haven't played a lot of - NS:UN4, as far as I can tell, expands on what it's previous game offered - and that is an amazing thing
My only gripe with what I've played so far is that in .... the mode....the main mode - I forget what it's called, you walk around as Naruto (cool!!) but you can't exit the mode without resetting or turning off the PS2, UNLESS you find a save point. You need to access the save point to save (duh! ) and exit the mode. It's a little annoying, but whaddaya going to do?

And finally, the game I've been spending all my time on lately:
Kingdom Hearts II
I know the game is a little old, but I have just discovered it - and I'm loving it!! I've nearly finished it (I think) and looking back, I wish I had played the first game to get better acquainted with the story-line My only peeve is that all you have to do to beat your enemies is smash the X button, but everything else in the game MORE than makes up for that!!
Also I love the game's music so much, that I got the Sound track - it's funny cos it's Japanese, so the songs from Atlantica sound ... odd

Oh, and Kingdom Hearts has made such an impression on me that I'm thinking of getting 358/2 days on DS now...AND when it comes out in English (close to the end of the year), as well as Birth by Sleep for PSP (when it comes out )

Well, that's all for now, I'm off to play Kingdom Hearts!!

Next time: a Manga update

Wow, It's been over a month since my last blog entry - how lazy am I?!

I blame 2 things for my absence:

1. My University crap - I mean work

and

2. Pokemon.

My exams are coming up in a few weeks and I have to practice like there is no tomorrow (I'm studying C!assical Piano). I'm getting just a little sick of seeing pianos now...but oh well

Ah, now, Pokemon - When I haven't been practicing I've been on the Pokemon D/P/Pt Trading boards either hacking, editing or getting events for people - I think i ended up making a total of 4 topics, I'm in the 5th one now, but I've given up hacking - people just aren't responsible enough to come BACK for their Pokemon...
Anyway because I appreciate people reading (suffering) through my blog, I'm offering 1 free Pokemon per customer!
If you have Pokemon Diamond, Pearl or Platinum - you can take advantage of this offer!!
Simply copy and paste this "coupon" in my thread.
------------------------------------------------------------
Good for 1 free hack!!!!
Special coupon!!
Limited time offer!!
Valid from the 11-May to the 31-May
------------------------------------------------------------
After you post that in my topic you can either post the hack you want in the thread or PM me.
I'll make your order as soon as I can and send it out to you Be sure to keep an eye on my topic, though


And while I'm on the topic of free Pokemon, to celebrate the Pokemon Gold and Sliver Remakes Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver,I'm also giving away the 3 starter Pokemon of Johto!! They're all at lv 5, shiny, and were met in Johto!!
I can't wait for these games to come out!! I think they're set to be released in Spring (Southern Hemisphere season) in Japan, so there will most probably be a 6 month wait for an English release...
But I'm still looking forward to it!!!

I also got the new Dragon Ball Kai game!! It is one of the best Dragon Ball/Z related games I have ever played. In all honesty it's like playing Dragon Quest - which makes it awesome!!
The story begins in Dragon Ball in the 3 year wait before Goku fight Piccolo (Jr.) at the Tenkaichi Budokai and ends with Vegeta - it doesn't seem like much, but there is HEAPS to do, I'm clocking 20+ hours and I haven't even come close to finishing the game perfectly. There is quite a bit to do - and its all fun
If I can be bothered, I might write a review for it...hmm...
Anyway give it a look over - it goes without saying, though, it's all in Japanese.
And for those of you wondering "what the heck is Dragon Ball Kai", its basically a director's cut of Dragon Ball Z - it's been remade for HD, the voice cast have redone their work, new music and sound effects have been added, a new opening and closing themes to go with the new credits and most of all, it's been cut down to remove all damaged film and filler crap.
As far as I can tell Goku gets on and off of Snake Way in around about 3 episodes!!!!

Now possibly what I've been looking forward to the most - Bleach: Heat the Soul 6 is coming out in just 3 days!!!
All I can say is *Drool*
Sooooo many characters, new game modes, Turn Back the Pendulum costumes - I'm actually willing to forgive and forget HTS 5 - AS LONG AS THIS KICKS ASS, which it looks like it will
Finally an excuse for me to pick up my PSP again - my DS has been DOMINATING!!

OK, that's all for now!!

Remember, if your a Pokemon Game aficionado, take advantage of the "coupon" from above ^^

Take Care everyone!!

Skip (Tim)

Just thought I'd show everyone cos I love them so much!!
I bought these at ShinTokyo - my one-stop-manga/anime-shop.
They are $15 (Australian) and are a lucky dip of sorts.
When you buy one, you don't know what's inside.
There are 5 in total, but allI need are 4.
The 'missing' one is Ichigowith his Shikai, stabbing it into his stand.
