Minor updates and a notable congrats!

First and foremost, I would like to point out that my bud Bhavna over at Original Dory has just hit 100 blog posts as of yesterday. This is quite an achievement and I never really realised just how much she'd blogged. I just passed the halfway point...3 posts ago! Ah well, it's not like I have much to blog about anyway...maybe I'll start a "Random Fact" weekly, I mean there's all kinds of things that some/most people don't know. Then again, what's the point with a "Random Fact" gig anyhow? At the end of the day it's just random and nobody has use for random things, although they make for good entertainment for a little while.

Enough of my musings, let's focus on what's really important...my blog. For those with a keen eye, I've updated with four new webcomics added to the list; Ctrl+Alt+Del, Gone with the Blastwave, Penny Arcade and Pixel Parables. Actually, I've been meaning to have these up for like a month or so now, just never really could bring myself to get around to it. Now, go and enjoy them along with the rest of the collection ^_^

*sigh* I'm getting pretty tired of this bland layout, and I know I said I'd be working on a new one, but stuff happened and came up and now I'm busy with coursework and a bird pooped some toxic poop onto my car door that just refuses to wash off and it's cold and my brain is refusing to cooperate with me and I have regressed to expressing the attention span of a goldfish and I've just done what I hate most and that is to write an incredibly long run-on sentence just to peeve people off. Anyhow, the main point of the matter is *ding ding* I'll be definately working on a new layout after the holidays, provided that I can get this truck-breaking load of comic/gag comic ideas out of my head and into physical form.

I also watched War of the Worlds and I have three problems with it:

1) How come cameras and camcorders can work fine when practically every other electrical device within radius of the blast shut down?

2) What killed the aliens? Ray and his plan? Or did they all catch a cold?

3) How on Earth did Robbie survive?!

Fifteen minutes past 1am

E-yup. I spent the last three hours joining and updating my Facebook. I've been meaning to join this community back since the Summer holidays and that's a really long time ago -_- Well I've joined now and I'm tired. I've got to be up early tomorrow, so I'm off for a shower and while my hair dries I'll be attempting to make some headway with my Development Project, I was like supposed to start this two weeks ago *rolls eyes* 3D Animation is just so much more fun.

I just remembered, I had some funny vids to share with everyone...back last month. Yes, I forget the less important things in life, so here they are:

Street Fighter: The Later Years
Street Fighter Salsa
Go,Go, Parody Rangers!

Those links were pretty much taken from VGCats. Oh another thing before I go, those of you who are looking to buy the PS3 for one reason or another and are curious as to what games it will be able to play from the PSX and PS2, you can check them at this link.

About the PS3, I know a lot of people gripe about it but I bet that most of those people who have a bad word against the system will go out and buy one, either around the release date or when the price gets knocked.

Finally

As of around 12.30am today (yes, after midnight), I have completed Kingdom Hearts 2. I am extremely happy about this, I mean I stopped playing because I wanted to focus on coursework and since I'm going on a 2 week holiday from 16th December, I decided to try and complete it. I had been stumped by the Hades Paradox Cup, and after a month of not playing my skills had gotten rusty. I died the first time and then pumped up Sora with Stat-Enhancing items (something I've been adamant about not using, but I was in a rush to complete the game) and made an extra save game so that my non-Steroid-pumped Sora was still available for when I attempt the challenge again. I won and my Jiminy Journal has never looked more sexy; all Mickey Stamps on each part ^_^ I defeated Xemnas (had to go through the final battle twice because I failed to rescue Sora), and totally enjoyed the ending. I'm really happy about how they keep you entertained during the credits this time as opposed to the first half.

I must say that the combination of Advent Children and KH2 has spawned a legion of Cloud gag-comics, totalling 5 stories! Well really 5 gag-pages, with the first being at least 2 pages in length. So Look out for it!

Last Friday (17th November) I got Dirge of Cerberus and haven't even unwrapped the game, mainly to fight off the temptation of playing it when I have deadlines coming up. Rather than spending my free time playing games, I should/will be focusing on coursework. So the faster I complete my coursework, the sooner I can play this oh so seductive baby! This has also spawned a comic that deals with my addiction to gaming. Look out for it too :)

Extreeemely Delayed x2

No excuses, let's cut to the chase, I've got coursework due for hand-in in 13 hours and 30 minutes, and I've only done 200/2000 words. I'm listening to music from various countries and am stuck with severe writer's block, so I'm updating my blog.

First on the agenda, I had almost forgotten that I'd joined an online RPG, DragonFable. Granted I hadn't signed into it for a couple of weeks, but hey, I've neglected almost everything else in my life. I signed into my e-mail account yesterday and found two interesting e-mails. The first was an advertisement from DragonFable regarding their pretty cool and successful 3 minute long animation, the first of a possible series. Hey, it's not confirmed, but it's something to look forward to. To check it out click here and follow the links to GoogleVideo or YouTube. If you don't like it, just download the clip from the site; they have a range of downloading methods.

My verdict: 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5, only because I enjoyed it and I didn't like how it left me hanging at the end, otherwise a full-blown 5 stars!

Second, I'm a huge fan of Avatar: The Legend of Aang and am totally frickin' overjoyed that the series has FINALLY picked up from that horrible year gap since Book: 1, Chapter: 15. I have been going stark raving mad, and have eagerly awaited the new series. Coupled with this, I am finally getting my illegal dosages of Sokka and Prince Zuko sweetness. The unhealthy fangirl in me usually mourns the fact that they're 2D, imaginary characters who live outside my life and world. Much like how she mourns almost everything else, including that piece of smokin', white-furred, leather-clad ass, who goes by the name of Vinnie from the Biker Mice from Mars - I'm talking about the original series, not the new one. Heck, I won't touch that yet.

So yeah, why is it so important to mention Avatar? Well, I decided to do some reading on Wikipedia, and just discovered that Mako, voice actor of the loveable Uncle Iroh, passed away in July of this year. Just how delayed can I be?! Like oh my God! My condolences, may you rest in peace, you brought me joy as Aku from Samurai Jack, and yet more as Uncle Iroh. I will honour your memory!

Before I end this, that second e-mail I received? Yeah, Bhavna, we have guestbook entries for Bubblegum and Sparkles.
