I KNEW IT! Raiden IS a girl!

A figurine set featuring Metal Gear Solid 4 characters…as girls? Yup. The set shows our beloved MGS4 characters: Solid (Old) Snake, Liquid Snake, Raiden (insert joke here), and Otacon in Lolita–or Lolicon–form. I’m not much into action figures (mostly the Gashapon stuff), but I’m would like to have these! Yeah…the Lolita fad is for guys (not to mention that it borders on something illegal), but as a girl, they look kind of かわいい! Honestly though, I’d rather buy the Mcfarlane figures.

Ah…the good old days when Final Fantasy XI was the only decent MMORPG available before World of Warcraft took over the online gaming market. At the time, Fullmetal Alchemist was a huge in both Japan and the US. What happens when you take the citizens of Vana’diel into the world of Hagaren? An awesome flash video! This video was made several years ago by a Japanese FFXI player, who is obviously a fan Hagaren, taking character elements from Final Fantasy XI (which is now commonly known as Machima) and the fourth opening theme of FMA, featuring “Rewrite” preformed by J-Rock group, Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The results are sweet. The next time you go to Bastok, don’t forget to see Colonel Mustang!

Silly pirate. Pirate hats are for real pirates!

Time for another post of the recent changes to the blog, and this one in particular is very important. It’s about the comments. I’ve been noticing some abuse when it comes to commenting on blogs with the DoFollow feature along with the popular Top Commentator widget. I had to remove the Top Commentator widget last month after finding a spammer leaving comments so they can get their blog to the top spot for free traffic. Here’s an example of another blogger who went through a similar experience. I’m disappointed in the spammers decision to leave their website and have no interest in the blog at all. I’ve also edited and removed several other comments that leave links to irrelevant websites.

Despite all of this, I decided to lift the comment moderation–for now. This means you don’t have to wait for your comment to be moderated before it appears on the site. However, I must ask of you not to take advantage of this because of the DoFollow feature. The comment policy has been updated as well. I want everyone to have fun leaving comments, and I hope these changes will encourage readers to come out and leave their opinions right away.

In other news: the blog finally has a new header featuring familiar characters from popular anime and game series! I had to move the Project Wonderful banner to the bottom so the header can get a clear view. I apologize for any inconveniences to the advertisers. ^^

A Bleach album featuring Rukia...and Byakuya! It's about time!

In the words of Hiro Nakamura, “やった!!” The first ever Bleach Beat Collection CD, 4th Session #1, featuring the Captain of Squad Six, Byakuya Kuchiki, along with Rukia, came in the mail a couple of days ago! I was so happy when I opened it! The CD isn’t actually what I was expecting, but it’s worth it. The CD contains 4 tracks: 夜空の川, 天の星, Listen to ONE story, and a “talk session” with Byakuya and Rukia’s voice actors, or Seiyuu, Ryotaro Okiayu (Byakuya) and Fumiko Orikasa (Rukia), which is something like the Bleach “B” Station CDs with “radio interviews” with the character’s Seiyuu.
