Flight Simulator X – Screenshots

Hello! I never did add an FSX article? Well, here is the long belated/awaited FSX article! And with more to come later.

Ah, looking back I see I don’t have many gaming articles on games I like. Let’s go ahead and add one right now to change pace, and to add a slightly different vibe to the place. It’s not one ‘hard-core’ gamers may play, but it is still highly entertaining. With my interest in travel, flight, and planes this simulator manages to please most of my wants and desires. Though, it does lack in scenery quality.

Am I reviewing FSX? Maybe, maybe not. I simply wanted to share my for the game with others, nothing more.

Snow fun Shinkis

More snow, more pictures, more shinkis, and the first actual photoshoot of 2011 on my end. Ya, sorry get all bloggy cliche about the yearly thing but I had to make a plug; couldn’t resist haha. Well, lets venture out with the shinkis and get our hands cold enough to nearly get frost-bite on it!

My Favorite Images P2 – Figure Images from 2010

What an interesting start to a New Year! Also got a fresh patch of snow, with more on the way! Snowed twice now Nice! Need a tad bit more to photoshoot my figures in.

But ya, I thought I’d continue with “My favorite images”, meaning my own images, from the past year – 2010. I already did it once condensing three years into one and thought I’d do one exactly after New Year’s this time. Well, time to look back to see my Figma’s roaming around Ontario, Canada, Cuba, and the birth of my Shinki collection! Oh, and sorry if this seems cliche of an article for the more hardcore figure photoshooters. I just wanted something slightly easier to look back at and to see where I should move on in the future. You know, something to gauge how much I’ve improved and to see where I should go next.

Happy New Year! – Renge & Tsugu comfrontation

Well, Happy New Year everybody! Hope you had a great 2010 and looking to a Rabbit filled 2011. Also, this shall be my last figure photoshoot of the year so I tried to make it count. Also, didn’t get fireworks for Ottawa. In return, I shall recap with the ones I took on Canada Day and on Dow’s Lake Illuminations to fill in the gap.

Shinki Tsugaru – Santa Claus

Ho ho ho! Merry (belated) Christmas!~

Our tsundere (I was told she was) of a Tsugaru played a few tricks even before she finally made it under my command. She purposely wanted to tease me by coming earlier than stated on the delivery tracking log, and then later after the holidays Christmas. I missed her when she first came and got her on the second coming. Apparently she adopted Renge’s traits of a trickster and wanted to merge that with her tsundere-ness. It doesn’t stop there though…

Renge’s Frustration & Christmas Illuminations

Hello! Hope and trust that everybody is behaving and not stirring up negative happenings? Everybody being polite and courteous to gain extra positive karma in life? Or are you aiming to get coal under your tree and stockings? 😛 Well, I got Renge images of when she was being a bit…sour. I also ended up getting a few Christmas decorations from around the city and planning to get more, hopefully.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Renge’s Icy Winter

Ah, what a lovely snowstorm that was from the weekend! I love the sounds of crunchy snow. Ended up getting freezing rain, ice pellets, and snow dumped on the city from a massive low-pressure cold front from the south. To add to that, it’s snowing once more during Monday night.

I also forgot to add this on the “same day posting”, whoops. Ah, distractions, distractions.

Figma Aya Kagura: School Uniform ver.

Whoa? Back onto the Figma line? Been hanging around Shinki’s since Summer. Well, I obtained her and O-Chan around the same time but decided to split them up for review and photoshoot reasons. I also thought I might be needing her accessories sooner or later. And If you must know, I acquired her at my local Anime Stop.

O-Chan – It’s one of those days….

Ah yes, something us Ottawaians tend to dread, winter! It’s just one of those lethargic days were you don’t want to do anything at all. Seeing the constant rain and snow mix up. Well, who would be highly enthusiastic? Well, I’m all uppity, however…….someone I know isn’t. Since I now have a proper purpose for snow I no longer curse back at it…though, my photo-shooting subjects tend to disagree.

Renge’s Winter

Ah! It unexpectedly snowed overnight. I was simply expecting it to be extremely chilly with the freezing rain warning, nothing more. Though, without missing a beat, Renge took off to explore the new fresh snowfall that snuck it’s way onto Ottawa’s ground. I went to explore the scenery as well, as to show the second snow fall of the year.

Enjoy the images!

Naru2u – Anime convention Ottawa

Hello everybody! Welcome back to more Anime goodness within the nation’s capital, Ottawa! Naru2u was held at the Travellodge Hotel from November 12-14, 2010. The size ain’t that big for something that’s an Anime convention, though it’ll do for the interest level within the capital. I also managed to go to my second Anime convention now.

Awakening of a Fox Spirit – Busou Shinki

Similar to Benio’s and Kohiru’s “outdoor adventure”, I thought I’d do something slightly more “story-like”. I rarely added dialogue to my Figma/Grail War or other types of articles so I hope you would pardon any newbie like errors in this one. Also, treat this article as a “prologue” to the review (previous article).

Enjoy!
