Busou Shinki Mk2s and Zielbellen

My first loot in a very long time. Figma Miyuki Mana and Kawamura Yuu from Se.Kirara and Busou Shinki Arnval Mk2 Tempesta, Strarf Mk2 Laviena, and Zielbellen. Pics of the Shinkis after the jump.

I tried the 3DS...

Tried the 3DS. The 3D is like those 3D stickers except 10x clearer and it moves. I've only played 5-10 minutes of Pilotwings and I'm already getting sick so it's a very good thing they have the 3D off switch. Definitely a gimmick as the 3D really doesn't add anything whatsoever to gameplay; it's one of those things where you say "cool" as you play through your new game in 3D for 15 minutes and then go back to playing it in 2D. I'll wait for the price to drop before I even consider getting this.

Zombie Cafe videos

Now, for something completely different! I made a couple of videos showing how I trap and use Sumo Wrestlers in the game Zombie Cafe. Since my Touch isn't jailbroken, I can't use the 3rd party screen video capture app they have for them.

Ouen Miku to be sold outside Japan

It's old news that GSC wants to open their shop for foreign collectors but this is new.


GSC has set a specific date to sell this outside Japan?? Σ(ﾟДﾟ；)
I wonder how they will work this out...

Shinki bookmark size comparison

Someone requested a size comparison so I posted someone else's pic here. Actually both bookmark pics aren't mine. My shipment of Shinkis have shipped today and I'll be getting my own bookmarks with them so I can take my own pics then. The bookmark below is the secret bookmark sent with the original color Oorbellen and Zielbellen releases.

secret Zielbellen bookmark

The Busou Shinki Mk2 repaints are out and it turns out that the secret bookmark being given out among the set is of Zielbellen rather than a Mk2. A bit disappointing but not too surprising. At least there's now an ecchi Zielbellen bookmark to go with the ecchi Oorbellen bookmark. :p

Shinki on a horse

"Howdy."


Ianeria gifts a horse.

Have I mentioned Terradive is awesome? :)

It really sucks what happened to Japan. HLJ seems to have recovered but I'm worried about the other online stores. I think it's almost a given there will be some delays with the Mk2s. :(

Zombie Cafe for iPhone

Ouch, it's been a month since my last update. For the past few weeks, I've been hooked on a social media type game for the iPhone called Zombie Cafe. I've never been hooked on those types of games before so this took me quite by surprise and sucked the time away from everything else I was going to do. I was eating, browsing the net, and going to the bathroom while playing this game. It was ridiculous. I've kind of got it under control now so hopefully I'll finally get around to getting some content out again.



Long story short, you use zombies to help run your cafe. You recruit zombies by infecting your customers and use them to run your cafe as well as attack rival cafes nearby. You start off with a broken-down cafe but as you get more money, you'll be able to pimp it up a bit. The main draw is the recipe system. When you raid rival cafes, you'll sometimes get recipes that aren't already in your recipe book. You can add them to your recipe book and them trade recipes with friends by cooking them up and delivering it to them. Different recipes have different benefits such as either having more servings, yielding more profit, or giving more experience points. The game's a lot of fun. Unfortunately, it's loaded with bugs and some of them can completely ruin your game if it hits, not something I'd fork over money for. However, this game is free for the iPhone so if you have time to crunch, give this game a try. :p
