[admin] Pre-Japan post

Sorry for the lack of posts guys - I’ve been busy with presentations (have to do one in Japan ;__;) and reports, and packing!
I also need to apologise for the lack of comments on your blogs and the lack of replies on my blog - I’ve been ironically, too busy during the holidays. Holidays [...]

I can’t show my face in public anymore!

Gasp! It’s Double, windbell and me! On the front page of the Friday Weekly!
So anyway, the three of us were interviewed a couple of weeks ago on what it’s like being an otaku in sunny Singapore. I was called back a few days later to have a shoot with my figure collection.
Photos are unceremoniously ripped [...]

[ゲーム] Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes

It looks like Square Enix is cashing in on their quirky series! And I’m stoked!
Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes looks like another of Squenix’s experimental RPGs, and seems like a whole lot of kitschy fun, once you get past the very questionable punny title.

Hot on the heels of Squenix’s latest SRPG offering FFTA2, Song Summoner [...]

this is not going to be a WF Summer exclusive

Really guys. It’s not. It’s just a pre-sale. I’m sick and tired of reading blog and blog insisting that it’s only going to be sold during WF.
Why am I irked? Because I don’t want posts of “HEY I BOUGHT THIS WF EXCLUSIVE FOR 21302302930YEN” and right after the September main release, they start committing [...]

Click above for larger image!
I’ve more or less resigned myself to be a figma collector (with static PVCs sprinkled along the way), what with Max Factory’s delicious offerings!
According to a scan from HobbyMag, the figma Tsukasa and Kagami twins will be released soon. Figma Tsu will be released in August with her cell phone as [...]

The one about the Singapore Toy and Comic Con

Come next weekend, Singapore will play host to its first Singapore Toy & Comic Convention. No doubt this convention is modelled on the likes of the Tokyo International Toy Fair, the San Diego Comic Con and other renowned hobby conventions around the world.
Personally, it’s the mark of a first world country to be able to [...]

[news] WONDERFEST 2008 [夏] RAPES OUR WALLETS YET AGAIN

Okay, frankly I’m devastated. Because I’d have left Japan when WF Summer 2008 starts. Hear me weep buckets full of sadness.
I thought that I was gradually phasing out my otaku-ness (really, my wallet cannot take it any longer) but Goodsmile, you are evil.

Frankly I couldn’t care less about the @__@ face that’s being included in [...]

[news]iPhone 3G!

So I might have mentioned that I have a 2G iPhone (new 3G adopters can kiss my metal 2G ass!) which replaced my Nokia N76 a few months back. Steve Jobs is back with a vengeance with the new 3G iPhone.
Now frankly speaking, the iPhone sucks balls. Other than being a glorified iPod Touch, it’s [...]
