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)

Originally from a manga
General ★★★★☆
Good for people who want to pass time and relax
Story ★★★★☆
Daily scenes filled with jokes/netas and main character's cute appeals
It seems like the female main char is already dating the main male char since the start of anime
CG ★★★★☆
Chibi version characters, average amount costumes
Design ★★★★☆
I personally like the setting of main character pops up cat ear and tail occasionally
Music ★★☆☆☆
Not any noticeable BGM, Below average cute themed OP/ED
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
General ★★★★★
This is a very good survival, and environmental type movie
It also makes us rethink our environment today
Story ★★★★★
The Earth suffered great disaster (there isn't any detail about the disaster, maybe the book mentioned it a bit)
anyways, it is not about when the disaster happening, it's after the disaster
no more crops, plants, people started to eat people because of starvation
The story is about a journey of a father and his son heading south and to the coast trying to survive
CG/Music/some scenes ★★★☆☆
Plot
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 =)
Unfortunately by the time I tried to purchase the ticket, the other 2 days were alrdy sold out
So I only went one day, altho I don't have time to go 3 days / 4 days with special offer (even tho many of my friends bought the 3 days' pass)
now, about the comic con, well, the first impression is... massive people !!
a lot of people think of Japanese manga/anime when they hear comic con, some places call it anime festival
in this place is a mix of Japanese and American stuff (I would say the Japanese stuff being the majority), and the pictures I took are all (mostly) Japs
anyhow, let the pictures do the talking
in the end I also took some pictures of new york city night views and the things I bought
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・｀)
(there is an issue with gallery image phrasing, please right click and open new tab to view the images for now)
Just bunch stuff in no particular order
newest iPhone 5 (funny thing is right after we ordered it, apple announced 5S
And whatever happened, my whole family just switched from free phones to smart phones (my parents use samsung, me and my sister use iphone)
some of you were curious
so i took some screenshots from the KTV events
Ice skating in the park in the city, the contrast between nature and the city is beautiful
A squirrel is having a sun tan
An American anime shop
Korean style dinner
Did a temporary part-time in a Manga store
Japanese food (sakura blossom) festival
We waited more than half hour in line for yakisoba (fry noodles) and it was sold out
so we bought okonomiyaki (vege-pancake) instead
By the way, that just reminds me of a moment from K-ON
there was once they went to the mountain lives, and Tsumugi was so looking forward to the yakisoba
but when they got off line it was sold out too
just some recent purchases
love the gift clock came with the magazine
at last, here is a beautiful sun-set picture from today's festival
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
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
Just done with BD version (yes, the holy light removed version)
General ★★★★☆
Originally from a galgame
Story ★★★★☆
A boy escaped harmful memory from his young life which caused him divided into 4 personalities
Not an old-fashioned plot, at least won't make you bored
The jokes from when he is in Chitose mode are quite joyful
Though i don't really like the scenes where he went back (escaped) to the video game
the people's reactions to the hero are childish, but it does make sense cause it's from a rpg video game
Pantsu ★★★★★
A recommend for the Pantsu-cons like me
Graphic ★★★★☆
Design ★★★☆☆
I would say this type of drawing is not my favorite, the characters' outlines somehow make you feel the same
Music ★★★★☆
Songs are good, I especially like the insert songs from
ep 9 - Pray and OVA - Sky Sanctuary
both by 橋本みゆき
CV ★★★★☆
Plot
the day before yesterday went to Mitsuwa, yesterday party at my relative's house and today *title*
First run, did total five runs ( ´∀｀)つ ミ
Later, caught up with the group and went to a Japanese karaoke place
It has huge amount of anime songs and pretty up to date
We ended up sung from the most recent anime songs all the way to the 90ths
End: Total 9 people in one room, most fought for songs, too many people (*‘ω‘ *)
Dinner: Korean package
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?
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)
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
Originally from a Manga
Achiga-hen is a side story of Saki main story
General ★★★★★
Gossip: Saki is the Anime that led me to learn majong
An anime that makes you want to imitate is a successful anime (at least to me :P)
Story ★★★★☆
NOTE: Only the digital players like Nodoka, Touka, Yumi Etc are playing the realistic majong
By digital player I mean players who practiced majong tons of times to improve the chance of winning rate by switching melds depending on the situation
The others like Saki, Koromo, Toki Etc (who can keep getting 嶺上開花(flower blooms on ridge), 海底撈月(drag moon out of deep sea), and able to see one round ahead Etc)
These girls are just cheating ! (don't hit me
CG ★★★★★
One major selling point to this Anime is they made playing majong like fighting battles
And bunch special abilities that the characters have (yes in reality they're cheating lol)
Design ★★★★☆
Most character wear short SHORT skirts to the point you can see their butts (more obvious in the manga (Saki main illustrated by Ritz Kobayashi))
Makes you wonder why pantsu doesn't show up
and by the way, you might notice the art style of manga for side story looks different than main story
Because it is illustrated by Aguri Igarashi, not Ritz Kobayashi (story by him(her?))
Music ★★★★★
Same BGM inherent from Main, absolutely good tracks
2 ED and 1 OP
especially "Futuristic Player" BGM starts when episode ends, very agitating, although the singing part in my opinion kind of ruined it a bit
See you again in season 2, as well as main story season 2
PLOT
Story ★★★★☆
Heart touching story, watched with my mom and she just cried through
I dislike the way of showing when they found the dogs in the film but other than that, it's pretty decent movie
Special effect ★★★☆☆
They did have some special effect for the earthquake and dog falling etc
Not bad, and not good, unlike most hollywood movies, this is story based film, so yeah... doesn't really matter a lot
Music ★★★★☆
In my opinion, it has one good bgm and ending song
Plot
The game was marked as shipped today midnight
and by the time I got home from college it already arrived! (only took half day with free 2 day shipping)
My battletag is Eudemon#1739
if you wanna add me and play together
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
Be careful when trading with someone in game
I just got scammed for 1 million gold
And then I went search in the forum, found that
people can use 3rd party scrip to remove item from trade window when it is finalized (or before) by fast switching
the trade system is not suppose to let one able to use 3rd party script to remove (fast switching) item after accept button is clicked
thus this is a game's technical issue
Just submitted a ticket, hope they will restore or just rollback my account (each account is limited to 2 rollbacks)
meanwhile, ima continue working on the site
good luck everyone
----------
new:
and before the game had infinite copy weapon/armor, auction house bugs
plus bunch botting/hacking/gold farmer we already know
the scam happened yesterday right after i talked to a friend that's about to quit the game, funny thing is i told him that "i'm hooked to it since diablo 1&2, even it is failing i want to see it til the end with my own eye"
but now it just makes me sign
----------
update:
i got a reply from bliz, all he said was apologize/thanks, and bunch useless info, and not even mention what to do with the cheater
i shot them a reply saying that doesn't solve my issue, and the cheater should be punished since i'm not the only one fallen into his victim
and then they replied said that they can't do anything restoration or rollback (kool, my gold is forever gone)
and sound like they may do some action to that cheater but today i log in n see he is still online (yeah, rly?)
double sign..
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
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!
...
...ouch! (that doesn't mean u can throw non-empty cans
