Star Wars: The Old Republic

Greetings folks! Finally caved; trying the SWTOR trial that just happened to start roughly when I caved. My mind gave me this awkward dream which had a random nostalgic Star Wars Galaxy moment that made me go out of my way to try playing it, which in the end I did. I actually ended up enjoying it so much that I wanted to at least share either the screenshots and/or my opinions with you.

Hello guys! Hope you had a lovely New Year!

Now to share some of my favorite  images to show what I did, what I did right, wrong, poorly, properly, what I should do, what I shouldn’t do, and etc. Also helps to summarize the year for both myself and you guys to see what I did and how I did it.

Patience! For those that know me shall know that I love Fate/Stay Night and the various other series and games, Fate/Extra obviously entering my collection twice.

The Final Farewell to Shinki-Net’s Battle Rondo

Time to pay my final respects for Shinki-net, Battle Rondo, and Diorama Studio with this final farewell. I do apologize if I may have pulled its parting a bit too much, I did try to keep the farewells to a respectful minimum without spamming. Managed to save up quite a bit of content that needs sharing for both remembrance and nostalgia’s sake!

(Link – MySite) – Benio! Do wonder what you’re saying though, you caught me by surprise haha.

(All images and videos taken from Shinki-net’s Battle Rondo which is now extinct. This is in memory of a once awesome MMO. Video embed heavy!)

Playstation 3 Home – Part 3 – Halloween & Traditional Japan

Hello once again, and hope you had a joyously haunted Halloween! If not, I hope it was at least entertaining in some way, shape, or form! Might as well share the mood from a gaming sense from both the North American and Japanese servers! Too bad I can’t pose my Shinki’s within PS Home….

Farewell Battle Rondo & Diorama Studio – DS P7

Hello! Sad to say, but both Battle Rondo and Diorama Studio has just been terminated today – October 31st, 2011 Japan time – by Konami Japan. Konami wanted to originally terminate the MMO’s service on August 31st but for some reason or another it was prolonged till Halloween day. That was a blessing! Grateful for that!

However, I only managed to get up to 7 parts, with this being the 7th  Diorama Studio article. Rondo half will be after Halloween!

*Offers a box of tissue to those saddened by this news.*

Busou Shinki – Battle Masters Mk. II (PSP)

Hello fellow Masters! It’s about time for another review. What is it? Battle Masters Mark two! That’s right, Mk. II. The sequel to Battle Masters for the Japanese audience on the PSP. Various tournament filled with highly intelligent and customizable 15 cm tall battle robots!

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.

(All images taken from within Gran Turismo 5’s photoshooting mode during replay and travel option. If a few images look off then my excuse is that they looked better PS3 set up.) Continue reading Gran Turismo 5 – Review & Photoshoot.
