(NDS) The World Ends with You

One of my (non-posted) resolutions for the year is to try to reach a certain level of completion for all the NDS games I had in my possession (Especially for the RPG stuff). Thank God I didn't had something the likes of R4, otherwise it will be a real tall order.

I bought The World Ends with You in december. Yup I was playing Children of Mana back then but it seems to go endless with the missions.

The basic plot of the game revolves the location of Shibuya. If anyone watch Sh15uya (Shibuya Fifteen) and Kamen Rider Ryuki , that's about that kind of twist and turn. Unlike these two Tokusetsu series, TWEwY is more gripping and resolves fairly well. The game really lives to the notion of "Living to what you want, how you want" or something like that as quoted by Mr. H (an important NPC in the game). Generally, the game already allows you to play with you setting up the difficulty (affecting the drop items) and your level (affecting the drop rate) in the midst of the other player settings (like combat/item settings). While the scenarios are preset, the player is pretty much left to choose Encounters and several small tweaks to the subplot/quests. Dual Screen combat is crazy and difficult? Let the com handle your top screen! (althought it's just either hitting X or B).

Engaging and yet it's easy to put the game down (you earn level points for Pins, the primary combat items when the game is on shutdown), it makes a good game on the go (but don't miss your stop!) once you master it, of course. (there's complaints of Steep Learning Curve? I thought all the necessary literatures provided in-game and manual. Wouldn't kill to read, so just read?)

Welcome to 2009!

Even when it's the 4th Day of 2009!

The First post of the Year is certainly without the compulsory New Year Resolution. So here are the resolutions....


1) I will not be Late for Work
(I am already late for work)
2) I will not sleep Late
(Too late. I slept at 3am on 01/01/2009!!!)
3) I will not over eat.
(Been there. Done that)
4) I will not snack after 11pm
(Over with already)
5) I will exercise
(Barely started)
6) Type more entries in this Blog
(I am doing already)
7) Clearing and Giving away stuffs
(Already packing)
8) Buying less DVD and Manga and stuffs
(I just bought DMC Vol.6 and 4 other DVDs........)
9) Keeping my living space neat and tidy
(I do that.....next saturday....haha)

There. My easier to accomplish Resolutions. I mean, everyone had to be realistic and be less demanding on ourselves. 2009 will be a rough year with all that recession, wars and natural disasters coming in. So all the best, people and I can assure you all that we can survive these 'cos we came a long way.

To the Infinity and Beyond!

The Graveyard Book

The Graveyard is the latest book from Neil Gaiman, writer of Vertigo's Sandman, Stardust and American Games, etc.

Actually it's a book for the young (I got a Series of Unfortunate Events....so..) and there's 2 version of it on sale locally. Check this link:
http://www.thegraveyardbook.com/bloomsbury-editions/
and browse before you buy.

I choose the Dave McKean illustrated edition (aka Adult Edition) even when I felt that Chris Riddell's illustration is more fitting.


Review to come, pending on my temper. (Then again the reviews on the website is more sufficient. )

Zone Fighter Clip....

I don't think many recognised Zone Fighter since it's a short lived Toku/Giant Hero Show. The only memorable part about it is the Tie-In with Godzilla.

Keep watching this clip and you will realise what set this from Ultraman apart.
