feelsgoodman.png to be posting here again. Things seem to feel abit brighter since I've been stuck in this endless cycle of everyday life. Although I havent really been going anywhere (yet), I can feel the month of Anime Expo creeping in closer and closer day by day.... Soon I'll find myself working alot of overtime to get my cosplay costume and Expo money set up. Man, this is going to be one hell of a summer!
Lately I've also taken a break from the usual stuff thanks to my cousin being here. Been shown random movies like Cabin Fever 2 (ew....), Paranormal Activity (Not that scary), and Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All by Myself (Film) (It's a "black" thing xD). I guess aside from money stressing me out everyday, its good to enjoy movies every now and then (I guess you sometimes totally forget about that now a days xD). The main woman in I Can Do Bad All by Myself sure is pretty cute o.o;;;.
Wanted to post a random photo of my desktop... Nothing fancy or anything here. There is a Rika desktop mate on the lower right that I keep there every now and then.... Ahhh... The Nostalgia of Desktop/Screen Mates. They usually sit around the corner of your desktop and perform random actions while you work or chat! Anybody remember Bonzi Buddy? He was this awesome desktop/screen mate that actually TALKED in a robot voice xD. Although he was annoying, he was still an awesome desktop mate that was also malware? I have the link HERE for Rika desktop mate above but please be careful when searching or downloading random desktop/screen mates as some could harm your computer like Bonzi-Buddy 
.

What have I been up to you wonder? Hm... Just the usual work and class! Havent really done anything epic lately. My cousin is currently living in our household for now which has its ups and downs, been on standby for a new phone upgrade (May 5th) since my touch screen dun work and I find it pointless to pay $50 for a replacement since i'll be changing phones soon enough anyways, Gas prices are still being mean to my wallet, MORE money issues, car registration to take care of, the neck piece used to attach mah LED shower light has broken apart, annnnnnnd im still banned from 4chan. Cant really complain though! Im sure alot of us are putting up with hardships at the moment... Hopefullly we'll get a break sooner or later! 
(That break for me is Anime Expo :3)....
P.S. I heard My Little Ponies were IN! Laugh it up but you know these mofos are effing cute 
Anime Talk:
Been trying to watch more anime during my free time 
. Browsed around Justin.tv to find myself watching this awesome Inuyasha marathon that lasted for hoooouuuuuurs! It made me nostalgia and laugh since the english dub has Inuyasha screaming "Kagooooommmmeeee!!!!" (slow/echoic) vs Japanese voice Inuyasha screaming "Kagome!!!!!!!" (fast pitched). Though I do miss those times wayyyyyy back when this show used to pop up on Adult Swim during late nights with new episodes. They may have aired more times on tv but I never really stayed up to view each episode and there were so many! (I still didnt catch up with all episodes on justin.tv =___=) HEY! It still felt good to watch when you had the chance! The series wasnt really episodic but the plot in each episode still hooked viewers! It never really mattered to me seeing an episode that was part of the actual storyline or a random side quest for Inuyasha and friends. Why is it that nobody says ANYTHING about Sess having Rin follow him around in the series? I mean fangirls love Sess to death and yet nobody notices how pedoish this kinda looks.... There are even a bunch of Sess x Rin content online and nobody says ANYTHING xD. I guess Sesshomaru has earned that "STFU cause im Awesome" badge. The same badge Kenshiro (Fist of the North Star) has....

Cant forget about Fairy Tail lol. Im on episode 28 and stilllllll going. I recently joined Fairy Tail Base forums which is actually full of friendly people ^^. This kinda inspired me to keep up with Fairy Tail (aside from my other excuse of watching this whenever new One Piece episodes get delayed ~.~). It looks like One Piece, its different from One Piece, and Erza would have to be my favorite character! Why? Dont know! Maybe I admire the way shes drawn or maybe the whole "serious/angry" persona on an anime girl is a turn on? Who knows?! The show does have many elements I do like in an anime and I certainly hope it doesnt end up back on my long list of "Animes to catch up on" (it'll probably end up right next to Inuyasha 
). I know I've told many that i'll be catching up on Bleach or FMA Brotherhood or High School of the Dead or ....._______________<= list random anime youre recommending lol.... But it'll take me some time. Im sure i'll be watching a whole lot more when Anime Expo is around the corner ^^.

^ I also did have a chance to watch Sekirei and I know what youre all thinking... I thought the story line was pretty interesting because it reminds me of Gashbell/Zatch bell and THATS it.... Although their hooters are drawn nicely @_@....*ahem* As I was saying, the anime really reminds me of Zatch Bell if any of you remember and for those of you who DONT know then let me explain the series in 3 words: Girls As Pokemon. I guess the drama and the action is what really catches my mind and I especially love the way the anime is drawn. Although this is just another typical Harem/Seinen/whatever, I can see why the series is pretty popular! Good thing I saw it on Netflix.... Best part about Sekirei is that there are only 13 episodes and 1 OVA (Nice and sweet x__x)... Ahhh yes, I did watch an episode of Mushishi too! Hope I have the time to catch up with that anime as well. x_x

Figure Review:
Triad Toys Mugen (Samurai Champloo) Figure
Yes, Mugen was the last and most recent figure I purchased since I havent had much from Triad Toys and im srsly on a budget lololol. Some of you know that I watched the Samurai Champloo anime for the first time this year and was amazed with the whole series. It might not have given me that Samurai X feel but it opened a whole new meaning to the word "Samurai". I wont get into details explaining the anime this time though (which is why I left a wiki link) 
. All I can say is... This anime is pretty awesome (Yes... I know Nujabes made awesome music for this anime as well 
). ANYWAYS, I havent really purchased any actual figures from Triad Toys yet so I decided to buy just one figure to save money AND to see how well the body is (I couldnt decide between Jin and Mugen so I just flipped a coin *Being Honest*). I received it in the mail, jumped in glee since i havent ordered figures in the mail for ages, and opened it up with non other than the expression of amazement showing on my face xD. The idea of giving Mugen metal and magnetic (F***ing Magnets! How do they work?!) accessories was a good call. He has most accessories seen in the show, his eyeballs move (which is really neat!), and the body is pretty alright. The articulation is good although *here it comes* his neck joint doesnt move... Its just a stiff neck with a ball jointed head lol (which is ok for some cases, atleast it makes his head area look more realistic). His arms are quite weak and tend to weigh down when you place his sword in his hands while trying to pose him. The legs are ok but I dont like the look of his shins, they would look alot better as normal looking joints other than realistic shins that look unrealistic when Mugen is posed in certain positions ><... I do like the idea of giving his sandals metal bottoms like in the anime and also having actual magnets here and there as well (especially at the bottom of Mugen's feet xD). Though they DO tend to fly out of his feet easily whenever you stick him to his sandals or anything else metal (Same with his hidden dagger.... it tends to slip out of his sword sheath quite often x.x). Other than than magnet pieces sticking all about and arms falling down, everything else is pretty decent! The paint job is accurate, the clothes are legit, and even the figure box looks neat! I would highly recommend this figure to any collector or fan of the anime. I like this figure alot and I think Triad Toys did a good job this time (I hope they make more anime licensed figures! Just no more Crappy Soul Calibur Takis please =.=). Jin I might look for at Anime Expo this year since I see him in stores here and there for good bargain prices. ONE last thing, if you are looking for these figures then please consider buying them at bargain prices. I dont think they arent worth the full prices that you see around eBay or other online stores. SOME people wonder about Triad Toys making a Fu figure. I've heard rumors that the figure actually had a limited release over at a New York Toy Show. Other than that, I havent actually bumped into any actual Fu figures myself 
.
Only few photos have been taken of Triad Toys Fu.. All I can say is... This anime is pretty awesome (Yes... I know Nujabes made awesome music for this anime as well ).

Magnets, Magnets, and Removable Hair?? (To move the eyeballs xD)...
Pros:
- Accurate Fabric Clothing
- New body is excellent
- Movable Eyes!
- Metal Accessories
- Clever Magnets Idea
Cons:
- Not worth the full price
- Weak arms
- Only 2 hands (Forgot to mention that his right hand can ONLY hold his dagger)

Other than that, I havent really been paying attention to figures much.... Not only because of my budget but because there isnt much of anything releasing that I have my eye on. I'll eventually order a custom one day or will just continue buying wigs for Yukino or something (I did buy a blonde wing which im currently awaiting for in the mail as well
). I did make a montage on Youtube. Its crap but I guess its still something right? Maybe i'll get better and make another one when I get the chance.
Gamer Talk:
Havent been playing much of anything except for Whirled and Pokemon White. What is Whirled? I guess you could think of it as.... an online game where people select randomly made skins/avatars (as you can see in the photo above, me as Megaman next to someone wearing a Pichu avatar), make a random room/scene, and socialize with others. I guess many people see it as Habbo or Gaia but I see it as much more than that. The game's community is quite friendly aside from the scammers, trolls, and stupid kids but hey! what else can you expect from a game like this xD. No worries... Registering is free and most avatars you could buy with coins you gain from random games and apps (though you COULD use real money in the game if you wanted other additional features =.=). Clicking on the photo above will send you to this forest room I made, hope you all decide to check it out sometime (I've actually gotten 1 person addicted to this o.o).
Pokemon White has been going well since im taking my time with it. So far I only need 1 badge left and most of my Pokemon are lvl 30 - 40 (Krokorok being level 36 now ). I want to check out that Dream World feature before I move on and beat the holy hell out of the last Gym Leader.... There are still many things that are new and available in White and yet all I've been doing is the basic training, battles, and taking out gym leaders 
.... Goes to show you how old school I really am since im playing through this game just like Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow lol. Ah well! Alls I know is that im keeping Krokorok! I dont care how crappy his stats get for not elvolving him. I mean LOOK how bad arse he looks! Who'd want to change a look like THAT?! Shows that I got some love for Pokemon.
I did manage to order a stick in the mail.... A stick from the Tekken 6 bundle! I've always wanted to play Tekken 6 again since I only enjoyed it back during my xbox 360 days (As... I could remember as if it were yesterday...
) but then I also want a fight stick for SSFIV... Gamestop still sells Tekken 6 for $20 and Fightsticks alone online are VERY pricey. Since money matters now a dayS, I decided to search for both the game and the stick online until it FINALLY hit me 
... "Didnt Tekken 6 have that stick/game bundle or whatever?" and BAM! The listing came up for it. Purchased it for about $50 (along with free shipping for some reason o.o) and now im expecting them in the mail after work! I hope it comes soon cause im really excited to play again ^^. As mentioned before, I havent played much ps3 since my cousin has been playing it for me alot lately. Hes into different games than I am so I finally witnessed him playing a couple of good games like Dead Space and Uncharted 2. So if you see me on PSN playing a game that ISNT an rpg OR a fighting game then it is most likely my cousin playing xD. -drools- Cant wait to get Asuka dressed up again for another series of awesome match ups @_@.Speaking of Tekken.....
Yes I've heard about SF x Tekken and I am one of those gamers who just have 1 word to say about it.... "meh".... Im sure the game will be promosing but im just not feeling it right now like some fans are. Tekken and Street Fighter for me are two totally different fighting engines and I enjoy their individual mechanics and what not. It'll be weird to play and im sure alot of fans will agree at first. Sorry Capcom! Sorry Namco! But im pretty skeptical about this one :/.... Capcom has proudly released updates for the game on Facebook and what not. If you missed out on some of those updates then click on the photo above or Here.
Last but not least......
DUN DUN DAAAAA!!!!
FINISH HIM!!!!
MK9 Baby! This game looks promising! I guess we'll see pretty soon...
Do you think these games will end up being casual gamer games?
Which ones will become tourney games?
I suppose thats all I could mention for now! I dont know if many of you actually look forward to these posts or not but I assure you that i'll be pushing my self to post atleast once a month or so. Atleast over that long period of time I could have a few things to mention to everyone xD.
LOL keep praying fellas.
Nyan nyan nyan!!!
