DS and GBA Purchases

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

When I saw these three titles had been massively marked down, I couldn’t resist. Question is: which one should I play first? I’ve been wanting to get Advance Wars and Fire Emblem for ages now, and something about Narnia makes me want to play it — probably due to being a massive fan of the [...]

Too much Pro Evo

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

… is (probably) never enough.
Just finished off the second season of the Master League. My Sydney FC side has gone through undefeated, which is always nice. As a bonus, I’ve made enough money to make ridiculous bids for superstar players. Sweet.

Zero no Tsukaima - 09

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Summary to come…
Cute Louise is CUUUUTE!

Awww….

A Seductive Louise is fine too.

The point at which Saito reminds Guiche that he, in fact, has a sword.

Oh dear, it looks like Angry Louise is back.

Eeeeviiiil

NHK ni Youkoso! - 08

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

NHKにようこそ! - Episode 8
Official Site
This is the second half of the Satou’s Mother comes to visit / Misaki acts as his girlfriend storyline. As it begins, Satou has completely forgotten about his Mother’s imminent arrival. It isn’t until a very cute, dolled-up Misaki arrives for their meeting that he’s dragged back to reality. First point [...]

A-League: Sydney FC vs Central Coast

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

A-League Round 1 - Sydney FC 1 df Central Coast Mariners 0 @ Sydney Football Stadium
Sydney FC overcame a dismal first half performance to prevail 1-0 in this rematch of last season’s Grand Final. Clint Bolton was the hero, pulling off several near-miraculous saves to deny a Central Coast outfit that, for the first half [...]

Zero no Tsukaima - 08

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

This was very much a mixed episode in my eyes. We have two separate (for the most part) stories, one following Tabitha and Kirche going to Tabitha’s home for Summer Vacation. This is used to fill in the backstory explaining why Tabitha is who she is (or isn’t, as the case may be). Unfortunately, I [...]

Just a few Haruhi Backgrounds taken from various places on the net and cropped/resized to 1440×900 (Suits 16:10 displays).

Cats & Dogs

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Only a cat would consider curling up on a desk behind a laptop to be a nice, comfortable place to take a nap.

It seems that dogs are more sensible — curling up on a pile of cushions on a sofa.

NHK ni Youkoso - Manga

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

I’ve posted a couple times regarding the NHK ni Youkoso anime series currently airing in Japan, but neglected to give any mention to the excellent Manga series (both are descended from the light novel). If you get a chance to check it out, I highly recommend it.
