Life, Gaming, Hacking, Pokemon!

I know I've been pretty idle lately and that's because I'm preoccupied with other stuff besides Gunpla. ^^;
My Seravee looks pretty angsty now since an appearance of a certain Gundam is made certain of in the 00 Movie.

Pokemon Black & White just came out last Saturday (18/09/2010) and I've been playing it, though slowly, ever since then. It is quite fun and most of the Pokemon you can catch, basic forms, are actually very cute. I've already past the second gym and going to a forest area which I forgot to read the name of. FYI, I'm playing White while my sister is playing Black. We're both about the same place except that I'm a bit ahead since I'm doing the reading (good thing I studies Katakana and Hiragana). X3
BTW, I find the male lead this time to be quite more likeable in design especially when I compare him to the RS and DPP male leads. I didn't like their hats. >_> Caps FTW!

Other than that... I've finally got a current generation console which is the infamous Xbox 360. After a lot of thinking and considerations, I bought it. Took me a while to find a shop selling the old white one at a reasonable price considering I only got an Arcade version (no HDD). So far, I've been mostly playing BlazBlue Continuum Shift. Let's see if I can Jack of All Trades the whole character list... but I, right now, want to master Ragna the Bloodedge since I find him pretty nice to use. ^^

Other than that, I've been "hacking" one of the campus's computers, sort of. Ever since the second week of this semester, the computers had a software upgrade in which that you can book the computer so that it will be available to use at your designated times, maximum 2 hour usage per student (extend-able if no one else needs it) and you can only access it from 8AM onwards... Because I reach the campus around 7.15AM in the morning, I really want to use the computer even though my netbook does suffice. But, hey, those 22" screens are really nice to use so why not I... use a Linux, Ubuntu 10.10 Beta, Live CD to turn it on earlier? No harm, right (arguable)?
I wonder what will happen if I try to install it... I know what to do but I really should do that as it will cause lotsa problems later... though I always thought of doing it. <.<

That's all for now. What are the rest of you doing, well, besides Gunpla and work/school?

Early Impressions on Pokemon Black & White

Just “got” the Pokemon Black & White today and had some fun with it ever since. I know I should’ve done something more important but my mood really wasn’t into that. Hope I won’t be doomed on Monday. XP Anyways, onwards with the photospam and commentaries!

To tell you the truth, I played the White version on my DS while the Black version just for this impression post. I’m not gonna really play Black for the time being as I’ll most likely play it when the English versions of the games are released next year. Heh.

Read on at my WP blog.

Gundam 00 Movie is TODAY!

OMG OMG OMG! Too bad I can't see it! WAAAA~! TAT

Anyways, read on for some spoilerific stuff I found. READ. AT. YOUR. OWN. RISK.

Spark Gundam Main Suit Colors

My Deviantart page HERE.

Just did this just now and I tried something different to add more "texture" to the coloring. I admit it is very messy since I just scribbled some light black and white all over the body but it makes it less plain than usual. XP

I might update this one (make it less messier) in the not so near future when I have more free time though.
Hope you like the sketch/scribble though. :O

HG 1/144 Gundam Avalanche Exia' (Dash) Review - Part 2

This is a continuation of the first part here!

First and foremost, I like to wish everyone a Selamat Hari Raya! Hope you will all enjoy your day today visiting friends and family's houses or just plain enjoying the public holiday.

At any rate, here's the second part of this review! FYI, there's no omake but there are 90 images in this post. There might be an omake later on since I have a slight idea on what I can parody though it might be a little exhausted already... or not (not AHEAD inspired).

HG 1/144 Gundam Avalanche Exia' (Dash) Review - Part 1

Price: 2000 Yen

It has been more than a week since the last actual post and I'm much better now. I still need to recover my body somewhat due to some side-effects from the initial fever (which was a high fever) at the beginning of last week. ^^;

MS Brief
The Gundam Avalanche Exia is an alternate configuration of the same Gundam Exia you see in the Gundam 00 anime season 1. The purpose of this add-on is to increase Exia's boosting speed and flight since it doesn't have the proper propulsion configuration in the first place (or something like that). Anyways, this add-on is pretty much null and void once the Exia was upgraded to the R2 spec whereby it gains thrusters practically everywhere. This configuration needs about an hour (not sure if I remember this part correctly) to charge the condensers before use and it can only last for 10 minutes before it needs to recharge again.
However, the Dash or ' add-on add-on gives it even more boosters, claws and a way to fight Arche Gundam "toe-to-toe".

MS Specs
Pilot: Setsuna F. Seiei
GN-001/hs-A01D
Height: 18.3m
Weight: 65.9t
Armaments: GN Sword/Rifle, GN Long Blade, GN Short Blade, GN Beam Saber (2), GN Beam Dagger (2), GN Vulcan (2), GN Claw (2)

Sudden Hiatus

Not gonna post anything worthwhile on my blogs for a while, well since the beginning of this week, due to sickness. Even though I can go about now I still need my rest. I'll still post comments to the blogs in the blogroll once in a while though so I won't totally be "gone". I still need to browse the net, though in shorter amounts of time, from time to time to not make me so bored after all.

Sorry guys and I hope I can get better soon. ^^;

FYI, Momotoys will be moving to One Jaya this month.

New Banner

Since bd changed his banner, I also felt a change is needed too (changed it last night actually). What do you all think?

FYI, I also updated the "Reviews" page as well.

That's all for this extremely short update post. XP

HG 1/144 Gaddess Review

The review is up over at my Wordpress blog.

I don't really have much to say about this one since I felt the kit was done pretty well. Anyways, has everyone heard about the ATI Radeon HD6XXX series slated for a November 2010 release? And, oh, it is almost the time of that year again where Independence Day is celebrated in Malaysia. Even so, I don't feel anything about it this year... which could be due to the puasa season overlapping it.

EDIT: Oh yeah...
