Sharatang’s Chess Enlightenment

Hey guys! Interested in a game of chess? I haven’t played in so long so I thought I would observe my Shinki’s playing chess once again. Who? Sharatang vs Kohiru of course! Renge? Oh, she decided to watch, but she ended up snoozing….Also tried to go for a little pun in the title.

Busou Shinki – Sharatang – Type Violin

Music is a beautiful thing in this world. Yet, it can also be a dangerous piece of beauty when used as a weapon. Sharatang is such an example with her being musically elegant while wielding her violin. I’ve obtained her from HLJ for a total of $93 Canadian while checking to see who had what Shinki’s in stock after the WonFes ’11 update.

Fubuki and Renge chillin’ outting

Hello, and pardon the title name. And phew!~, that heatwave was brutal. Even my Shinki’s went a bit nuts trying to keep their circuitry nice and cool. They even resorted to ice, but Renge threatened me not to post those images. Renge nearly lost it on Friday so I took her out today (Sunday), and the quiet Fubuki, to Andrew Haydon park to cool off and to grab some fresh air. Enjoy!

Diorama Studio – Shinki Photoshoot P2

Hello fellow Shinki fans! I really did neglect the digital version of my Shinkis, and what a time to be playing around with the program (summer instead of winter). If anything, I’m a bit forced in creating images as quickly as possible before both Battle Rondo and Diorama Studio get pulled by Konami on August 31st, 2011 (Old news by now). Shall we see how many parts I end up doing?

Gran Turismo 5 – Review & Photoshoot.

Hello again!
I wanted to share Gran Turismo 5 with you this time just because I like this kind of game, and the previous versions. It’s a tad bit late, but probably still a good time to personally review it now that I got a PS3 that can play this lovely game! First PS3 yellow lighted on me – 60 gig PS3 (2006/7-2010?). The game also released some times around December and received around 6 big patches, which could be considered DLC.

Renge From a land Far Away

Kon! Finally got around to continuing my “Renge Comics” after a long long while of putting it off. I basically disliked the format and put it off until now. I’m hoping you shall like! Renge also had a lovely experience with the wind today, though a painful and damaging fall….Such is the risks for outdoor photography….

Shorty Miko Dress – Foxy Renge

Kon! My lovely Renge finally turned into a divine fox spirit! How? By getting a lovely 1/12 Azone made shorty  miko dress with a broom. Basically the female shrine outfit that you see at Japanese shrines around Japan, and in Anime. I’ve been looking at getting something neat for my Renge for a long time and finally got such from HobbySearch. I kept checking AmiAmi but had my little issues with it. And because people are calling Shinki  dolls, not figures, I’ll treat Renge like a “doll” today. Might as well play along, right? 😛

IL-2 1946 Sturmovik & J7W1 Shinden

I just feel like flying for these past few days and weeks that I picked up IL-2 1946 Sturmovik. I obtained IL-2 from Steam for just $10 CAD (Canadian), and been wanting to play it for the past 2-3 years. I’m also pretty sure that the majority of people already have this within their possession. I’ve been holding off  on this because of Flight Sim X, Figma’s, Shinki’s, life, and because I couldn’t find the hard-copy. Also, this article isn’t purely aimed at the IL-2 1946 game, but the the J7W1 Shinden itself. I wanted to focus on the Shinden.

I have to thank Kodama within the IL-2 modding community for this gorgeous plane!

Figma Mirai – Culture Japan

I spy with my little eye something that is….Orange & white, has a “d” logo, and with a name that means future. Who could that be? Danny choo’s mascot – Mirai! I’ve obtained my Figma Mirai from J-List. Why not? Everybody else seemed to have went with AmiAmi but eh…let’s create our own unique path!
