Games?! School?? Wut?!

-phew- It's been a while since I've posted a new weblog entry (sorry about that ^^; ). I havent really been busy or anything but im afraid I just havent paid much attention to it, though I would atleast like to post here atleast once or twice per month (something I have to push myself to do like now xD). Ugh! Updates to be taken care of and stories to tell! I just dont know where to start..... confused I guess i'll mention food and see how things go from there! (p.s. Im sorry about the random updates that force mosto f you to visit my page, I usually take the time to tweek/fix a few weblogs -_-).


So earlier this week, me and a buddy decided to travel to Los Angeles to check out this place called Langer's. According to radio, this place is supposed to have the BEST pastrami in town. Some people argue that it may be the best in USA.... Perhaps even the world surprised... We finally end up parking down the block at their exclusive parking area (after being lost for like half an hour due to my high ass xD) and ended up waiting in line since it was lunch hour and all.
>Grabs a menu
>Sees that a pastrami sandwich is $12
>MFW


wtf WTF?! This is the most I've ever spend on a sandwich (More than my favorite Daphne's sandwich...)! So I just said screw it, ordered a regular pastrami sandwich, added spicy mustard, and....... wow.... HOLY SH%# man.... This is good? NO! It's better than good! It is THE best damn sandwich I've had since like.... EVER!

The crust was crunchy and the inner area was just soft... It was perfect! Even the pickles were to die for! Was it worth the time, gas, and money.....? Hell yeah winky
Though... The day wouldnt be complete without an awesome serving of.... funnel cake >________________>..... Im hooked on that stuff now. So if you see me walking around with white powder around my nose then uhh... It isnt what you think...-coughcoughDR.ROCKSOcoughcoughcough-.....


OH! Cant forget about that Fish Ice Cream (I know that isnt the actual name but screw you! xD).... So goood..... I want moar... That vanilla ice cream/red beany goodness...

Oh.... Cant forget about girlscout cookies... =3





Figure Talk:
Lately I havent been purchasing many figures either xD. Hot Toys, Medicom, nor any other 1/6 scale company have released anything relevant to my interests yet. I did hear about Hot Toys gaining new movie licenses but none of them seem all that exciting. Until anything else releases, im probably just going to keep my eye out for Hot Toys Spiderman winky. Though I HAVE been thinking about customs lately... I actually have 2 in mind... I could either make an SD Vega (Claw) since that will atleast give me something to do during my free time while im in school... Orrrrrrrrr I could make another request from The Anime Shoppe for an FFVII Yuffie (Game Version -___-). It would be cool to have around and it'll give me something to look forward to other than anime expo... OH! I guess I kinda lied, I never did mention Pokemon Trainer Red or Jill Valentines new costume...
Pokemon Trainer Red
 
Nooooo im not going to do a review about him or anything. Im pretty pleased with this custom and would highly recommend  The Kou Anime Shoppe's work. If I had more mula then I wouldnt mind being a regular custom but im not rich. Figure collecting like this is a very expensive hobby as I've mentioned before xD. The pokeball I had to make myself and im still looking for an accurate Pikachu for him but other than that, everything else looks awesome in my opinion. I especially LOVE how his hat is desgined, he could keep his face hidden just like the game >_>.
1. Lucky: ........
2. Red: A wild Persian!
3. Lucky: ....wut?
4. Red: Lets do this...
Put in any order you want bummed
Other than receiving the trainer red I ordered months ago... You all know im not big on 1/6 outfits/clothes but the belt on Jill Valentine finally gave in so now im currently trying out random outfits for her. So far I did buy one of ebay from a seller in HK(rare-figuretoys) happy

The suit itself is pretty awesome but of course it barely fits Jill and of course over time... The suit is already falling apart from me carefully posing it -____-. YES I have been quite delicate lately and STILL! WTF?! Ah well! Im not too disappointed about it since I also received clothes from a skillful friend who does awesome handy work xD. I needed some extra clothes for Yukino and this awesome friend came along and offered to make clothes for her (I'll refer to you as the "awesome friend" since im not sure if you want your name blurted out around here or not xD).. Well anyways... This awesome friend has a store and im hoping this will help her gain more customers (im not very good at this xD). She does alot of awesome work and im sure she wouldnt mind doing requests ( CarlaJPureArt ) (I'll be sure to add the store to the rest of the links on the right menu ^^). I'd check it out! The clothes made for Yukino are amazing stunned. Im going to take a few snapshots for you all to check out sometime when I get the chance. Thanks again for the clothes you.... awesome friend you xD.

Im sure most of you are wondering how Yukino is doing... Well xD...

NOW, I have her posed right next to my calendar so I could be reminded of when class starts...


But before.... She used to a party animal and would have a conversation with me whenever I....

Yeah.....whatevah

Gotta stay focused and concentrate this semester though! No time for fooling around....bitter
That goes for you too! Darn Valentine's Day lovers....



Gamer Talk:

OK! We all know all that all I've been doing is playing SSFIV. My controller has become totally messed up because I've been using Vega so much (It's to the point where ALL of my kick buttons would refuse to work sometimes in battle -___-). Since MVC3 is coming out, I've been thinking about buying myself a fight stick... I want to learn how to play stick anyways since im tired of going to the arcade here and there and BARELY being able to pull off moves. I guess it'll be something new and itneresting for me to take up meanwhile school is in session.... Go to class and play games... Just like the old schoolin days xD. 

I havent had any experiences with console fightsticks but im hoping i'll get good in a matter of time and will be able to do more with Vega on stick. If THAT doesnt work out then hopefully I could use this for MVC3 (which was actually released yesterday at Gameplay xD). My buddy did get a hold of the copy yesterday and is quite pleased with it. He called off of work to play it. THAT's something i'd expect for most of you to do. ALL of you should call off of work and/or school and just play MVC3 when you get your copy. I would do it but its my first day of class next week Dx. We did end up going to Gameplay earlier this week to put it on reserve  and we ended up playing the demo for atleast over an HOUR (we woulda stayed longer but we were getting hungry for dinner bitter). I mainly like the way it plays and LOVE IT EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF DEADPOOL! That guy is such a troll. I barely move forward/backward with the guy and im already dying of laughter. The dude is CASH man. Alot of people say it resembles more to Tatsunoko vs Capcom rather than its MVC counter parts and I could see why. Alot of people also argue that the game probably wont be taken seriously since it doesnt bring as much seriousness as its previous games. I could kinda understand where everyone is coming from since im sure mvc2 was the same issue. Over time, people discover certain combos and supers that connect with so and so or whoever. Some people want ot use Strider and combo you to death along with every other basic rule you hear pros talk about while you have so and so who just want to spam projectiles and hope for a win. You make your team, find its strengths and weaknesses, put together a strategy, and put it to the test against other opponents who are doing the same exact thing. I understand that MVC series brings people together! Regardless of being a gamer or a marvel comic guy (which I am both xD). Regardless of what you like or what generation you come from, The game welcomes all kinds of people. I cant really see how people mention how easy the controls are or how easy the game is in general, I suppose capcom is trying to aim the game for larger audiences since Marvel is in on the game too. I guess you kinda have to think of the different types of audiences for these kind of crossover games and understand their point of view about it. Better than just criticizing it or making it more out of it than it ought to be =.=.

"Yo Mama!" - Deadpool
OH! Yep I did change my mind! I am buying Pokemon Black version. Why? Because I REALLY want to transfer my 1st Gen. Pokemon into the game and see how they play. Im not super hyped about it, but hey! Sure is better than not doing anything at all.

P.S. Most old Gen. gamers tend to criticize and complain more about games more than the newer generation. We sure did have an epic time gaming while growing up... Remember to keep that in mind newer Gen.! It's something you'd understand if you lived around the time when Pokemon first released in USA.... Maybe even BEFORE...surprised

Welp! I have to leave to work pretty soon... So im going to leave another Amateur Vega Gameplay video before I leave. I apologize for the crappy weblog, i'll try to brainstorm less of a mess the next time I make a post (which will hopefully be soon xD)...





Sorry for the lack of anime, I'll get back to you on that later on ^^;.... I know! Valentine's Day is coming soon so uhh.... Enjoy this image. o.o
