Nico Robin mouse pad, Energer Z

I'm a bit sleepy tonight so this is gonna be a short one.


First off, the Nico Robin mouse pad that I keep forgetting to put up. She feels better and priced better than the Kanu mousepad so she's my current mousepad for now. Seems my main mouse has an issue with the Kanu pad. Kinda odd since it's the only mouse that has problem with the mouse pad.



Chogokin Energer Z. It was on sale so I went and got one. I was attracted by it's similar design to Mazinger as well as the nice red paint. A nice take on the Mazinger design. From what I understand, it was a prototype design to the original Mazinger. I love the "bike as a cockpit" design. Rocket punch was weak however. Drops like a rock, very disappointing. Cape was a bit on the loose side. Articulation not quite as good as Groizer. Otherwise, a solid figure.

Acchi Muite Koi

I got this about a couple weeks ago but being busy and lazy at the same time, put off posting the pics of it until now. It is Acchi Muite Koi, my first eroge preorder from Sofmap! I've been wanting eroge preorder goods for a long time now so it's very good that I can now preorder them. This post is slightly NSFW but you shouldn't be browsing this blog from work anyways. :p

A duel on the living room table

I didn't post as much as I should have over the past month even though I have plenty of pics so to make up for that I'll be posting some stuff this week. I'm going to start off with some Shinki pics that was posted on the tfw2005 board. The first 5 pics have a kind of story to it and the rest are just side pics and closeups I took as well. The Shinkis pictured are Benio, Yda, and Asuka with guest star ROTF Bludgeon.

Koitate eroge review (in Jp)

This is an eroge review I wrote for a message board over 2 years ago and I did it in Japanese. For some reason, I find expressing some things are easier in Japanese especially when it comes to talking about Japanese stuff. I forgot if I ever posted the review but I'll post it here for posterity's sake. The comments on the heroines contain spoilers.

Nice loot

I've realized I've put off updating a few items as off late. Nico Robin mousepad being one of them. Ah well; later I guess.

Got a box of loot yesterday. I am really buying too much stuff this year. Anyways, on with the pictures.


From Amazon, acsta Subaru, figma movie Nanoha, and Shikotama Slave 1st ltd ver (new!). Shikotama Slave is actually from Comroad but bought through Amazon.


From Sofmap, ex:ride vintage bike 001 metallic yellow, 7 Online Gamers Offline (used), Honey Coming 1st ltd ver (used), and Kosaka Tamaki Summer Floating Ring ver by Kaitendo.

Kanu oppai mouse pad

Got my very first oppai mouse pad yesterday. It's of Kanu Uncho from Ikki Tousen and I got it from BBTS (sold out).

Mouse pad in and out of box but inside blister packaging.


Mouse pad with blister cover removed and view of pad bottom.

The mouse pad surface is some sort of cloth-like material like underwear (polyester?) and underneath is a rubber-like material (to prevent the pad from sliding) with a protective film covering it. I'm not to big on the cloth material as it seems like it might get dirty more easily (and harder to clean) and I think may not be as comfortable as a smooth gel pad. I guess I'll find out as I use it.

I'm expecting more mouse pads in the coming weeks so expect some comparisons in the near future.

Hall of shame: Fake Miku

Many of my posts here are copies of posts I make at my usual haunt. Because of that I sometimes forget to format or reword the posts appropriately... -_-;


Earlier last month, I got my first eBay knockoff, a fake Hatsune Miku Nendo. I had a huge hunch that it's a fake upon learning I won the auction for $10. After some thinking, I came to the following conclusions: 1) The reason nobody else bid on this was because they knew it was fake somehow. 2) That reason had to be nobody would set a starting price so low for a legitimate item (it started at $7). Fortunately, I didn't lose too much; with shipping, the whole thing came to less than $20. I'd return the thing and ask for my money back except I was curious about the quality of the knock-off plus I know I'm not going to get a legit Nendo Miku at this point; GSC's obviously ain't releasing it any more and I'm not paying over 3 times market price for it on eBay. So on with the show.
