    Resident Evil first run

    By Eudemon,

    yesterday went bowling then cinema after school


    in general, the movie is not bad, but not very good idea (i'm saying from a fan point of view
    the ending, is like the other resident evil films, kind of foreshadow of there is a next one


    had shabu shabu for dinner

    the once every year Chinese moon cake eating day is about to come?


    a festival since ancient China.
    don't really like these kinda sweet tasting cakes, but might as well enjoy it cuz i only get to eat it once every year
    (P.S. normally they have brown outer layer, and harden egg yolks inside, the one i'm eating is called 'ice moon cake' which became popular in the modern days{recent years?})
    ...
    ...
    ...
    now featuring H master drama vol 1


    well... i guess i was just bored.. (hey don't throw empty can at me!
    ...

    General ★★★★☆
    Typical Missy and agent (housekeeper+bodyguard), more suitable for female audiences
    Story ★★★☆☆
    Day to day scenes, very few fighting (even though the setting of Maison de Ayakashi and half ayakashi half human gives you a good battle sense)
    You may also learn some basic info about Japanese ghosts
    Btw, the main character said in the beginning that she always says something against her will, in other words, tsundere
    Although it's popular among some people, I really hate this type of personality (don't hit me
    CG ★★★★☆
    Graphic is good and detailed
    Design ★★★★☆
    Has some sets of outfit, the drawing style is cute as well
    Music ★★★★☆
    I personally don't like the OP and EDs
    but the BGM especially the one plays when she changes form is very good
    Plot

    General ★★★★★
    Story ★★★★☆
    The first half of the movie is basically review of what happened in the Anime series from the new character Hiyori(風音)'s view to show how she fell in love with Tomoki (智樹)
    A lot of ERO funny scenes like usual
    And the ending is very heart touching, when Hiyori turned into an angeloid(angel robot) after a tragedy right before she was about to hear back from Tomoki from her love confession earlier
    In the end she sacrificed herself to protect Tomoki
    The scene I like the most is in the last few minutes of the film, Tomoki went back to the place where he and Hiyori first met. A ray of right shined behind him along with leathers, at last came the sound of bell Hiyori always wears, leaving the audiences a huge imagination space
    BTW, I also like the name of Hiyori (sound of wind) which matches the sound of bells she always has on her hair
    CG ★★★★★
    The fighting scene is very well done
    as well as the rest, graphic very detailed
    Design ★★★★★
    The design of the clockwork angeloid is awesome
    Characters also dress up very nicely
    Music ★★★★☆
    Ending songs so-so

    Mix of stuff

    By Eudemon,

    Went to see the looper movie 1st run
    didn't rly enjoy it, I only watched it becuz my friend asked me to

    this week helping a friend fix his computer
    need to replace the motherboard and CPU, plus add a new fan and memories

    Amagami

    By Eudemon,

    Originally from a game


    General ★★★★☆
    Super love soap anime (makes me itch sometimes..
    Story ★★★★☆
    every 4 episodes feature one main character
    the last two feature a hidden char and his sister (if you don't know what I'm talking about maybe because I only watched the blue ray version I can imagine they are not included in the TV version
    CG ★★★★★
    Detailed, the light effect is very nicely done
    Design ★★★★★
    Excellent cloth, and character designs
    for example, Rihoko who likes to eat and always wants to lose weight
    if you compare her deign to the others, you see she is little fatter but still as cute as (or more than) others
    Music ★★★★☆
    Both OPs sung by azusa are very good
    I personally favor the second one "君のままで" over the 1st one
    The EDs are sung by the characters (one for each)
    and since they are CVs not music artists, the songs ain't good (for both singing part and making part)
    Can't recall any BGM in the Anime
    Plot
  7. Eudemon
    His motherboard and CPU broke, had to replace with new ones
    plus an upgrade of fan and memory (his old memories were ddr2 that are not compatible with the new LGA 1155 mb anyway, same issue with the cpu, basically upgrade from 775 series)








  8. Eudemon
    General ★★★★☆
    The version I have played is portable ver, since PSP doesn't allow H games
    By the end of each flag, there are some scenes just feel so unnatural
    (I think this PC to PSP part is poorly done, i know they have to remove those scenes but should at least do some workaround to fill those details)
    So to those who want to play a 'complete' version I suggest you go ahead for PC ver (cough..

    Story ★★★★☆
    Subtly used the setting to plot the story
    Love those scenes where sana(さな) glues to the player (that's the 1st flag i have completed, working on other ATM)

    Funny ★★★★★
    Like above, the funny scenes nicely plotted by the main character's unfortunate curse setting

    Design ★★★★★
    Good amount of cloths and character expressions for interchange

    CG ★★★★☆
    Art style bit toward Loli-con, drawing is good but bit less CG images

    Music ★★★☆☆
    Average OP/EDs, and very few BGMs
    Though I like one the daily BGMs, very joyful

    Plot

    This is delayed post, of what happened last week
    Columbus day street performance


    Brooklyn bridge


    this is me






    Me and my friend


    I love this idea


    Coast


    Status of Liberty


    what we had for dinner
    Thailand n Vietnam style noddles
    our original plan was to go to a ramen store but it lined up a huge line so we gave up


    recent purchases




  10. Eudemon
    tickets (plus two others we met later in the theater

    About the film:
    Basically the plot is same as the TV version
    In the beginning of the movie, there was a special interview of the America version movie from the 6 main CVs. And they mentioned there will be some scenes to be shown that were not included in the anime series because of all kinds of restrictions, at first I was moved by this announcement cause i already know the story, but in the end it turned out to be very few, and none of them are stoical scenes.

    Still, even for me who watched the anime series already and again on the BD release, the film was stunning and fabulous

    Huge applauds between the cut scenes and the end. Even when the movie ended, and staff screen popped out, all the audiences still remained at seat until completely finished. I have been to many movies in cinema before, and this is my first time encounter something like this.

    Gossip: the whole film was around 4 and half hours long, in Japanese voice and English subtitle
    BTW I didn't look at the subtitle for once from the start till the end 0-0

    Gossip x2: we originally thought there would be free goods that come with the ticket (a printed sign board and poster), and others goods for sale, but they didn't have that in new york! later we learned that was los angeles exclusive (damn!)

    We went there right after class ended, so we had plenty of time, went riding the Ferris transportation to kill time











    (gari gari kun 0w0 found in a Japanese supermarket)

    Now, I'd like to quote from a friend that went with me that night, she wrote

    (As I rethink now, the thing that moves me the most, is not the plot (bcuz it was TV remake), but the shock of being in the cinema, audiences' applauds in the end, and the friend that went together, eat together, despair together, and share the plot together... even thought very despairing (I'm not quite agree with this), but it was a very precious memory OwO)

    Oh, like my other reviews, here are the ratings

    General ★★★★★
    Pretty sure it would be fantastic for those who watched it the first time that night
    Story ★★★★★
    Design ★★★★★
    CG ★★★★★
    Music ★★★★★
    Couple new awesome songs, and new opening scene
    Plot


    Oh yeah

    Oden, similar to hotpot, materials boiled with soup


    there is a slice fired tofu underneath which tastes best, the pink thing (i believe fish meat) is good too
    rest are just average taste, most importantly the amount is not enough for lunch
    so I bought a Yakisoba pan afterwards with the intention of trying something new (also becuz it's pretty famous among anime)


    but i regret it... tastes awful..


    later, went to a lion king show after visit to the bookstore


    Time square + a notebook of Yuruyuri from my friend
    did you notice something? yes the image on the notebook is the exact same place where we standing
    after all, here are the purchases




    my initial target was the dengeki G's magazine, but unfortunately it did not arrive on time
    so i picked up bunko(文庫) becuz of the gorgeous gifts (trading figure + collective booklet of short comic from all bunko works + trading cards)
    the rest are all manga, i'm not gonna list all the names, just look at the picture

    Campione

    By Eudemon,

    Originally from a light novel


    General ★★★★☆
    The battle against god might seem cool but the battle character setting itself is basically retelling the ancient stories of gods (mostly Greek gods)
    and this probably can amazes the first time listeners
    but I already know majority of the stuff from Philosophy and Global literature classes
    Story ★★★☆☆
    The golden sword is really a buggy setting
    and I personally hate the plot of the 2nd and 3rd followers who hesitate and keep feeling shame for a kiss
    especially when it relates to the lives of them and the world
    (due to the condition of use of the sword, the main char needs information about the enemy, however, our main char of course doesn't have knowledge of every detail of them so someone has to tell him, but the info amount is huge for telling by mouth or read, thanks to the usability of 'magic' they can be sent instantly, and since Campione resists to magic they have to do it by kiss/internal)
    CG ★★★★☆
    Battle scenes are good, the power of golden sword just reminds me of Gilgamesh from Fate stay night
    and a lot fan-services
    Design ★★★★☆
    Above average costumes including underwear
    Music ★★★☆☆
    The first couple listen to the OP may not be noticeable but the melody is pretty good
    Plot
    I think there is a second season coming up?

    So I have decided to write site development updates before our official releases
    and maybe in the future as well, yea~~ (ヽ´ω`)
    (probably not all of them, because some i can update immediately in the annoucenment board, but i will write as much as i can)
    Been writing the homepage for the past couple days
    also fixing some layout issues, just yesterday I grabbed some of the codes I wrote, put into a plugin and released it over to the system site for free (like always)
    the wiki (open database) that I have been teasing about is at the finalyzing stage
    going to write a tab content bbcode to help member editing the content too (I will also write a resource page regarding how to use it)
    and then, back to the shadow (´・ω・｀)
  16. Eudemon
    The game is out for few days now, and I just started playing it (too much things going on and so little time)
    For those of you who already watched the anime
    It's kinda long if i have to write what happened, so basically
    After they beat the final boss (game maker) at 75th floor, system error occured
    most skills, items are lost and they stuck at 76th floor and decided to finish off 100 floors
    according to one of the spoiler videos i have seen, the error caused the loss kirito and asuna's marriage data
    so in the game you can aim for a different main female character
    my subject is of course asuna hehe
    about the system, kind of obvious, unlike the anime, upon death your char goes back the the last save point
    note that if you partner dies, it's also game over (happened to me once with asuna, not sure about other char, probably same for all main chars)
    attacking and defensing is automated, I can see this serves two points
    one the console (I have an old PSP 2k) won't be able to support full 3d battle
    second to keep player from bored out (from clicking the attack button n times in every battle)
    instead you get to use sword skills and battles skills, and communicating with your partner (e.g switching, healing, attacking from the back..)
    although I only played it couple hours (bit slow too, because it is in Japanese, I read a little slow and once a while find a word that i don't understand, but i still glad that since i started taking jap classes now i'm able to play jap games with no problem)
    anyways, already feeling a decent game, really looking forward to continue playing

    here is their official home page for the game: http://swordart-online-game.channel.or.jp/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=direct&utm_campaign=direct

    A new homepage?

    By Eudemon,

    Recently I tried with flash, but failed
    If I ever gonna go about changing the homepage, it will be responsive (meaning it will support tablets and smartphones)
    However, since there are limitations using our own framework, the homepage may (yes, may or may not) use a completely different stand alone page
    while the rest of the site remain unchanged
    Speaking of our own framework, I will try apply it to our music system once I have time, not sure about how it will go since the setup structure is so different (but, trying is better than not trying)
    The other issue we have is, the current home-page size is too big
    Although we have tab content for you to switch around views, but the content that was hidden are loaded when the page is loaded
    this slows down the overall speed
    to change this, I am thinking about using AJAX technology, which will display a type of block similar to what we have right now
    but all the other tabs except the main one will not load all at once, instead, it will only load when you click on it
    this, picks up the load speed dramatically
    P.S I have two jobs this summer, and now getting my third job, so busy XD

    New Internet Service

    By Eudemon,

    So after having internet latency and package loss issues for over few month with time warner
    and called 30+ times had them came over 10+ times, and they couldn't fix the issue
    Now I switched to Verizon Fios,
    Besides the stability (which is the reason why I switched)
    I am also very happy with the speed
    Download whole season of an anime (3.5G) only took 5 minutes
    which mean uploading whole season of an anime should take about 8 minutes
    below is the speed test

    Went on a family trip to New York up state last week
    Below are some major viewpoints
    Thousand islands - literally 1864 islands along the Canadian and US border river
    and this always reminds me of the community "thousand eyes" from mondaiji (ﾟ∀ﾟ)










    Three star hotel - the place was pretty comfortable, but due to our tight schedule, didn't have enough time to enjoy it




    British and French Fort - during the time of colonization, until took over by the U.S, the forts are 300 years old












    Power Plant




    Indian show - well, wasn't so clear, I do have a picture taken with the performers, but I don't feel like showing it


    Niagara Fall - we had to wear raincoat before we enter the falls, and still, we all got wet
    and when I was in the center of the big falls, couldn't see anything (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)

    Six Flags

    By Eudemon,

    I drove with 3 friends, the whole trip took around 5 hours, and they just slept 5 hours lol
    The views are beautiful






    Safari - basically a small size zoo, you get a ride to see animals




    We were originally planned to go on the 90 degree roller coaster
    But after 3 attempts of the smaller ones, mostly the last one I was like

    I guess it's a pretty good acomplishment(platinum) since I only started playing this game half year ago
    and hopefully I will reach even higher tier next season
    so according to Riot, by the end of this season (this month 11th to be exact)
    I will receive loading screen border, avatar, victories skin etc reward, and they last until the end of season 4 (which is another year)
    Anyone who interested in playing with me in game, you can find me at North America server, player name: Eudemon369
    note that since now that I receive many friend invites, please send me a PM here to verify =)

    A new headphone

    By Eudemon,

    Beats Studio 2013




    And the old one I had is Bose AE2i
    This is my first time trying out a noise cancelling headphone
    At first I was not used to the hizz sound made by active noise cancelling
    but it only lasted a day, plus, if you listen to music, you won't be able to hear that sound at all (unless you turn it to very low)
    The battery will run around 10+hours, I am a pretty aggressive music listener
    and it can last around 3 days withou charging it again
    The other good part of having a built in battery is, it doesn't drain my iPhone's battery when playing music
    but drawback is once the battery power is out in the headphone, it will no longer function until I recharge it
    Let's talk about the most important part that caused me to buy it
    when putting it on, it immediately cancels around 75% of the noises
    sometimes when I try to sleep in the school's library I like to just put it on for a better sleep quality
    and when I am on a bus or somewhere with loud noises, I noticed I have 20% less volume than using my old headphone
    (you know when you're in a noisy place, you need to turn the volume up to hear clearer sound)
    what I like about my old is the surface that covers my ear
    I wear glasses, while the beats headphone does pretty good job on confortness than most other on-ear headphone
    my old bose headphone was even better
    Lastly, since I always have this on my neck, I can feel a lot of sights of people looking at me
    (those who know me in personal know that this has became my symbol, I have been having an on-ear headphone around my neck wherever I go for more than two years now)

    Today was a busy day, woke up early in the morning
    spent whole day doing presentation and exam plus my boss' "come to work" email spam, was about to head home and noticed car key was lost
    so I spent another hour running around the campus where I've been and asking the security guards, finally found it
    thank you so much to the anonymous person who turned it in (/ω＼)
    btw this is my second time this year lost and found my key, the first time was dropped in the snow where I spent two hours to dig it out
    今天很忙， 大清早起来
    一整天在做演讲稿跟考试加上我老板的夺魂工作邮件， 当我要回家的时候发现车钥匙弄丢了
    于是又花了一个多小时走遍校园我呆过的地方，跟询问保安，最后终于找到了
    非常感谢那位陌生同学把钥匙交给保安
    附带一提，这已经是我今年第二次弄丢钥匙了，第一次是弄丢在雪地后来花了两个小时给挖出来OTL

    Let me just quickly summarize the last few episodes
    setting is the same virtual game world
    Our main character "Asuna" met a girl named "Yuuki" through a dual and helped her clear a dungeon boss with her friends
    When Asuna got denied further communication from Yuuki, she found out Yuuki has final stage aid and have been in bed for 3 whole years
    Since then, Asuna used the terminal machine made by Kirigaya
    to let Yuuki enjoy the real world, everyday Asuna carried it to transferred vision and sound between Yuuki
    in the end, Yuuki lived through the full 3 months of life that have been announced
    now, I really want to talk about the connection between the 3rd ED song and the plot
    the name of the song is "シルシ" which means "sign/proof" I can't think of any better word due to my poor English
    the first person word used in the lyrics is "ボク" which is also what Yuuki used to call herself
    "ボクが生きたシルシ" translates to: the proof/sign of my living
    there are two signs/proofs of Yuuki has lived in this world we can tell from the plot
    first, the reason why she wanted to clear the boss is to have her and her friend's name listed in the huge stone board
    second, her original sword skill - "mother's rosario" that was gifted to Asuna
    流れてく時間(とき)は容赦無く　いつかボクらをさらってくから - the flowing of time will eventually tear us apart with no mercy
    represents her disease is taking her life away as time passes
    this one is pretty straight forward to understand, there are other parts of the lyrics also link to the story and I'm not gonna talk about all
    when I first listened to the song I was only enjoying the melody but once I knew the story
    this feel carried out by this synergy between the plot and the lyrics has stunned me
    I love songs that have connections to the stories, in this case I think it is very nicely done
    here is a link to full lyrics if anyone interested - http://eudemon.org/lyrics.html/_/%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B7-r186
