Psy's "Gentleman" Explained

 After Psy released his new single, "Gentleman" I was kind of on the fence about it. To be honest, it reminds me of Gangnam Style. But none the less, I think that Psy has a good chance of not being an international one hit wonder. Good luck Psy! And for anyone that has seen the video, check this one out explaining the references and celebraties that appear in the video. This video is great and Ramona Champion really did her homework on this. Check out her site over at sweetandtastytv. Now on to the video!

First Anime Crush

Let's admit it, we all had a crush on an anime character. I surely had my fair share of them since I can remember, but my first one wasn't an anime character at all. It was a blue hedgehog. Yes, my first "anime" crush wasn't from an anime but from a video game! Sonic The Hedgehog was the first ever crush I can remember. I can't say what made me like Sonic so much besides his games and the fact I was 3 years old, but he captured my heart for a lifetime.

Do Those Collector's Editions Make You Feel Empty Inside?

As I await for my Dead Island Riptide Rigor Mortis Edition to be released in a week and a half, there has been this controversy that has surrounded this collector's edition being less favorable to the Zombie Bait edition that is being sold in the UK.  This controversy is not the first of its kind, it does bring up many discussions in different forums.  New video games are usually 60 dollars while collector's editions go for 80 dollars and up. Most collector's editions usually have a replica of an item or a figure of a character, steel case for the game and usually downloadable content which may or may not be included with the regular 60 dollar game.  On top of that certain ones differ from country to country and those editions that are being sold from a country other than the one you reside in can be difficult to obtain as a pre order.
Provided below are pictures of the different collector's editions for Dead Island Riptide to help illustrate my information.

Utada Hikaru Has a Radio Show!

First thing first, I know that some of this info is a bit old. I was browsing Facebook and suddenly saw a link to something about Utada. Hmmm seemed click worthy. I followed the link and BAM! I found out that Utada Hikaru is self producing her new radio program Kuma Power Hour. This was some pretty big news to me as I had not heard much about Hikki since she began her hiatus after releasing "Goodbye Happiness". The show as mentioned is complete self produced in her home studio. She even recorded, edited, and picked the music for her first episode (sounds familiar *coughOJNPODCASTcough*). It is really cool to hear that she is still semi active, even if it is not with recording new music on a regular basis and touring.

Sword Art Online: A brief review

What if games were capable of having extremely realistic Virtual Reality? I for one can see people flocking to something like that. There are actually products being developed to make this a reality (check out the Oculus Rift) Take a second to imagine it. Better yet; imagine an MMO with near real life VR capability. That would be really cool right? This is actually exactly what the anime Sword Art Online is about. Well...except it is a step above plain old VR. Instead, game players used a headset that actually let their consciousness dive into this game. What is the big deal with this anime? Glad you ask. In my opinion, Sword Art Online is one of the best series that I've seen in a long time.

Aw Snap! A Regular Show Video Gaaaaame!

Yup, you read the title right! There's a Regular Show video game in the works. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!! The game is being made by D3publisher, which are the same makers of the Adventure Time 3DS/DS game "Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!" There are still no details of what platform the game will be on or when it will be released. My only hopes for this game is that Summer Time Lovin', Lovin in the Summer (Time)" will be in it. I'd consider playing this game if that was the case. I mean...the song is catchy. As a matter of fact, here's the song as a lead out to this post. Thanks for reading!

Ever Rekindled With A Lost Love?

I missed the Wasteland so much that I started playing Fallout 3 GOTY all over again.  Three Dog from Galaxy News Radio will tell you that I am "That Bitch from Vault 101".  The Lone Wanderer went to search for her Father after he left the Vault.  Along the way, she developed such an Evil reputation for being a thief, liar, nasty attitude having chick.  What can I say? I am such a darling.  To tell you the truth, I am a shoot first, ask questions later kinda gal.  I saved Megaton from their atomic bomb just to steal from all their houses and sell the items back to their own merchants for caps.  Gave a psycho addict the last drug he will ever take.  I picked up cannibalism just to keep my health up, before then I was drinking blood out of blood packs.  I only do good when it benefits me in the end.  I told Harkness at Rivet City that he was orginally an Andriod and gave him back his memories to recieve his sexy A3-21's Plasma Rifle.  Oh Yeah I forgot, I saved his life too.  Well just to let you know, my father died to save my life and now I have to finish what he started; providing clean water for everyone in the Capital Wasteland.

I am hoping that soon there will be a new Fallout game for RPG lovers to enjoy.  There has been so much love for Skyrim and even though both games are from Bethesda, I think Fallout is so much better.  I hope Bethesda can keep up with my manipulation and destruction that I left behind in Fallout 3.

Zenkaikon 2013 Cosplay Pictures

Here are some pictures that I snapped when I was at Zenkaikon a few weeks ago. Ranz, Amy, and myself all attended the convention this year. These are some of the pictures that we took of the people that were cosplaying. It was a really great convention and extremely well organized and the staff were beyond awesome! We all can't wait to return next year. Hopefully, we'll get to travel to more conventions between now and then.

Just got this in the mail

This is just a quick post. First I want to say that Akibaranger season two has finally premiered!!!!!!!! I'm still waiting for subs, but in the meantime I decided to pick something up that I've wanted since season one ended. SOOOOO....This just arrived in the mail when I was out yesterday!

I'm so hype to finally have gotten this!

Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: A brief review

As a kid, I loved dinosaurs. Movies like Jurrasic Park made them look so baddass back in the 90s. Actually, I can still remember the roar of the T-rex in that movie just like when I first heard it in theaters some 20 years ago. Well, that just gave away my age! Watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (borrowing suits and battle footage from Zyuranger) only added to the idea that dinosaurs kick ass. Again, the T-rex was still one of my favorites of the group that were shown as Zords in the show (not counting Dragonzord. I mean.....it was a dragon...not a dino). With Sentai, the dino theme just recently found anothing incarnation with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. The show seems like a breath of fresh air after Gobuster. Yes, I publically admit to not being a fan of Gobuster. Now with a new beginning, how does this new series do in living up to the awesomness displayed by previous dino teams such as Zyuranger?
