OTBK2!!

Otome ha Boku ni Koishiteru 2 has been announced by CaramelBox. I'm a huge fan of the first game and really looking forward to the 2nd one. The main character and heroine looks reversed as the main character looks like the heroine and vice versa. The main male character looking like a heroine is nothing new but having a main heroine who's definitely more like the male protagonist than the actual protagonist is definitely not something you see often in eroge.

I took some pictures over the weekend. Some during the late afternoon/evening on Saturday and morning/early afternoon on Sunday. I haven't had time to check the results yet so I'll have to do it during the weekdays.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS

I picked the PowerShot SD780IS and bought it from Amazon. Currently they have it for $199 until maybe Jan 16. Plus I got a free 4GB class 4 Kingston SDHC card. See the product page for details if you're interested.



Actually I first saw the SD780IS at a holiday dinner party held by the company I work at. They gave out prizes and stuff and one of the coworkers nearby won the camera and she asked me to check it out and confirm for her it's a digital camera (she's middle-aged :p). My first impression at the time was "DAMN, it's small!" and not surprisingly enough, that's still my first impression on taking my camera out of the box. I'll be testing it out over the weekend even though it's chilly and all because of the cold snap hitting much of the US right now. Hopefully I won't break it right off the bat. ^^;

Alter Masou Shizuka figure

Something draws me to Alter's Masou Shizuka figure. I find there's a subtle cool seductiveness to Shizuka's expression that I'm liking. Not enough that I'd pre-order it but still I'd snap one up at the right price.

edit: Shizuka is a character from the highly popular Rance eroge series.

Niconico watch (one of many)

I was looking at Shigatake's Pixiv account after Kotaku had posted about his cute & sexy anthropomorphed versions of the colossi from PS2 game Shadow of the Colossus and it seems during the summer he had did a couple of minigames for the Japanese WarioWare DIY featuring Win2K-tan and Muramasa's Kongiku with some nice breast bouncing action. Of course, there are other far racier mini-games out there but this was of note to me because it was done by a pro illustrator.



Namco's IdolMaster is by far the best game that I have never played. I could just watch gameplay videos on Nico well into next year and not get tired of them. The characters are so cute and animated nicely!♥ Ahem! Anyways, cute video of Azusa in kindergarten level outfit. The mismatch of the oldest idol in such an outfit makes it all the more fun to watch. The charmpoint is the ahoge sticking out of her hat.



Final one, MAD featuring Strike Witches. Seriously NSFW plus high poison rate.



Warning: watching too much Niconico will seriously reduce your productivity. -_-;;

Toylet

My first purchase from Toylet which arrived on Wednesday. Found out from Dannychoo.com that they had a sale so took a look and these were what I got.



Busou Shinki Light Feather $19.99
Shuraki Ryu Meifen $44.99
Fraulein Revoltech Bunny Girl Haruhi $24.99
(shipping was $20)

I've been wanting a Shuraki for a long time so glad I got that out of the way. Although I haven't seen any reports of her leaning, I'm still a bit wary due to her pose. Light Feather is my first Busou Shinki figure. I got her because...megane *dies*. ^^; And Bunny Haruhi is my first Fraulein Revoltech; I got her on a whim. Something about her just grabbed me. I think she just seemed like a fun figure to have.

What's the blog about anyways?

This blog is about the various hobbies I have and my efforts to sustain them despite my low income:

Toys: I collect Transformers, bishoujo figures, Busou Shinki, and maybe the occasional Gundam model.
Video games: My current active consoles are the Wii, DS, and iPod Touch. I also have Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, and Sega CDX that are currently collecting dust.
Manga: Anything goes as long as it doesn't get too melodramatic and drawn out. I also read plenty of eromanga. ^^;
Anime: Like manga, anything goes. Don't watch much ero stuff though.
Eroge: AKA bishoujo games. I'm big on this as well however I can never find enough time to play what I want. :(
Smartphones, PDA, & other portable tech toys: I've been using Palms for a long time before finally switching to iPod Touch since Palm ditched their stand-alone PDA platform. I currently use a Nokia N95 as my phone.

I go under the alias of Yanachan on Hongfire. Currently in Houston, TX. Mainly collects Transformers toys but started collecting figures as well as various other import toys from mid-2009 onwards. Need to re-arrange room to fit all the new toys & figures that are now crowding around the living space. Knows some Japanese and uses that knowledge to read, watch, and play raw manga, anime, and eroge.

Forgot to mention favorite genres: Robots, gender benders, and yuri. Also like ecchi stuff as well. XD I especially like trap eroge like Otoboku and Sweet Legacy.

Amazon links

An Amazon widget I've been trying to use hadn't worked too well on Blogger so I'm testing widgets at the moment. Don't mind the mess.

PS: Yes, I know there are repeats in both widgets. I'll eventually sort it out and reserve specific categories for each one.
