Yeah....I haven't made a blog update since last year. Whatever. I'm still gaming since it's the only thing that doesn't drive me insane. I've recently gotten into Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and the game is addicting to say the least. If you wanna win pick one of the top six characters and learn combos and run jabs. I'm telling you it's so much fun once you learn combos.
Back in May this year I placed 2nd in Melty Blood Actress Again at MWC. It was unexpected of me to do so well....and that was about it. I got a seed into EVO, but was unable to go due to lack of money. I did get to watch the top 8 at EVO yesterday before I went to work, and overall I was not disappointed with it. I was disappointed, however, at the fact that Adam Sessler did commentary during SSF4 finals. Wow.
MBAA is -- without a doubt -- my favorite fighting game right now. Much more so that Arcana Heart 3. By a lot. It helps that AH3 isn't accessible for me.
I also bought a 360 back in March so I could play shmups (or shoot-em-ups) on my 360. The most recent one I have been playing is DeathSmiles. Currently my best score is roughly 82mil, which is not bad being a week into the game. I'm hoping to play BlazBlue Continuum Shift in the next couple days. I want to play one of the worst characters though. I may not end up playing the game very long lol.
I may start updating my blog again. It's fun typing about what I enjoy the most :3

Ready for ACen 2009!
GAH! I'm pretty impatient! I want to leave Ohio SO BAD right now and head to Chicago for Anime Central 2009 right NAO!!!! Obviously I can't.
I'm struggling with school right now, and it's been bugging me. The main problem is motivation to study like I need to. I couldn't tell you what it is, but I just don't have much motivation for anything right now. I should probably try and figure it out before I fail my classes....
I got both F/UC and Triggerheart, and I'm pleased with my purchases. Triggerheart, however, is inferior to the Dreamcast version in that it has frequent slowdowns. It doesn't ruin the gameplay....it actually makes it easier to dodge the bullets XD
Another recent disappointment as far as video games goes was "Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2". Simply put, the port is not very well developed. It's still playable, but it could've been SO. MUCH. BETTER. That's all I'll say on it. My hype was indefinitely killed with this port, so I don't really practice like I used to with the first one (not by a longshot), but I will still play around in training mode here and there.
Going back to ACen....I don't think I will spend too much time in the game room this time around. I want to look around at the vendor items and the panel discussions with my friends. Besides, I'm not very excited for fighting games right now. I'm waiting for BlazBlue to come out before I take fighting games seriously again :/

Update...kinda
I just woke up from a much needed nap, and decided to update the blog.
My schedule sucks. I work from 4pm-1am now, and currently going to school full-time. Four days out of the week I have to get up around 7:30am or so, after getting off work at 1am so I can get ready for class. I even have a Saturday class that ends this coming Saturday because it's an accelerated course. Both school and work are full-time, and it sucks because I barely have time for myself. Any free time I get must be spent doing homework, otherwise I get behind like I am now. lol
Speaking of gaming, I just got Street Fighter IV on the release date last week. The game is fun, but there are some things I don't like about it. The main thing I don't like is the Focus Attack Dash Cancel (or FADC for short). I like it just about as much as the next guy, but the timing is so srtict, it makes the game overall just as hard as every other fighting game....I don't like that. I thought SFIV would be easy -- and you can play it basic and do fine, but not in high-level gameplay -- but because of FADC it's not looking that way. I would very much like to do FADC if it wasn't so hard to do, but timing and consistency is freaking difficult for me. Meh.
I am currently waiting on two games to be released in Japan: "Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced", and "Sugoi! Arcana Heart 2". The first comes out late March, and the next comes out the second week in April. Once I get those two games, my video game collection won't be growing for a while. lol
I want to give anyone reading this some advice about dating: DON'T DATE CO-WORKERS. You've heard it before, and now you're reading it for the millionth time. Not even mentioning work place gossip or possible situations that could result in job loss or lawsuits..I'm talking about matters of the heart. Long story short, I was talking to the new girl for a while, and she eventually told me that she wasn't ready to move on from the past. This is after we told each other we both liked each other and had been on five dates and talked for over a month. She could have told me that the first day, but she didn't for whatever reason and hurt me really bad. Looking back, I'm not sure why it hurt so bad but it did. I was upset about it for about two months, and I JUST forgave her yesterday (LOLZ). The original point I was trying to make is don't date co-workers, because you'll have to see that person A LOT if things don't work out, and it's not a pleasant feeling. So yeah, this is your warning....
Typing this just now made me feel good. I should try and update this thing more often. >_<

UPDATEZ
It's getting hard to update this thing. Reminds me of when I had my journal back in high school, and I pretty much never wrote in it. lol
Ok...so life is more or less of the same. I have been doing ok in school so far. Just took a test in my math class on Monday. I wonder how I did....? Work is still work. As much as I dislike the job, it pays bills and lets me import really expensive games from time to time. lol
I finally figured out how to record gameplay and upload lots of videos to YouTube. I only wanna use that page to upload me playing video games, nothing else really. I'd do a bunch of combo videos for Arcana Heart if I wasn't so terrible at doing combos at that game. lol
As far as video games go, I just got done with a tournament a couple of weekends ago called "Season's Beatings III", right here is Columbus, OH. The location was perfect considering I really had no money for traveling purposes that weekend. I did TERRIBLE in every game I participated in, expect Garou and Arcana Heart. I actually did well in both, considering I still lost. I also played Battle Fantasia for the first time that weekend too. I picked Watson, the little magician bunny :) I figured out how to a lot of stuff really quickly, to the point I was doing combos into specials. Still lost though.
In my casual gaming life, I've been playing a game on the PSP called "Yggdra Union". A cute game with a cool system, awesome visuals, even more awesome music, and it's just friggin' hard!! Although it's a time-consuming game, I still manage to find time to play it, since I usually have my homework caught up. I've had to quit playing Disgaea 3 entirely though :X I think the last time I played it was mid-to-late September, right before I started school again. That game is a soul sucker....
The next two games on my "Want to Import" list are "Trigger Heart Exelica Enhanced", and "Fate/Unlimited Codes", both for the PS2. I was skeptical about getting both of them at first -- Triggerheart for the price, and FUC for the combo system...yet another game for me to fail terribly at -- but I am a fan of cute things, and the figurine being sold with both of the Limited Editions was more than enough to sway me. I just hope I have extra Christmas moneh come December >_<
I'm still single, and intend to keep it that way for a while :D

Where to start....
Ok, so it's been a while since I posted in here. I don't know what to say really. Well, I'll just start from June, which was my "Month of Joy".
In June, I went to Chicago for my 22nd birthday, and a video game tournament called MWC (Mid West Championships). Overall, I had fun, met new people and old familiar faces. I didn't do well in tournament play as usual, but I gave it my best.
I got a new phone which ended up getting damaged, so I got it replaced not even a month having the phone.
In July, I got attracted to a little site called eBay. Needless to say, I spent a lot of money in a short amount of time. I'm happy though, cause I got what I wanted.
More importantly than eBay and video game nostalgia, my brother came home for a two-week vacation from Iraq. It was grerat having him around again, but the time went by so fast. It's funny, cause I wasn't at work at all his last week here at home because I had sprained my wrist and took time off to let it heal. So I got time off from my stressful job, AND got to spend time with my brother before he went back overseas.
In August, Ohio had two newcomers on the fighting game scene. I introduced them to my little group, and we played video games. It was fun, but I don't think I'll be doing it again. I burned a quarter tank of gas picking them up and dropping them off, in as little as four hours. Those were all city miles BTW.
Currently, I'm worried about school...not really the money, but my ability to pass classes. I only have three more math courses before I can transfer to OSU and start my major. The only problem is that I just can't seem to grasp the concepts in class. I have notes, examples in the book, and very lengthy homework. Usually, I can do half of the assignments and get it, but for whatever reason I can't pass the quizzes and tests because I can't remember enough of the material. I guess I need to get a tutor and hit them books REALLY hard.
And as funny as this sounds, I've sworn off women. And to stop any incoming jokes, NO I'M NOT GAY. I need to focus on finances and school. Besides, I'm tired of having my little ol' heart broken time and time again.
In a nutshell, life could be better, but it could always be worse. Isn't that the same for everybody though?

June: My month of joy!
I just got the coolest phone on the 28th! It's a Sony Ericsson. I got mine in this cool green color. It's a sliding phone that takes great pictures, doesn't limit the time you have for recording (and the clarity of the video is superb!), and it has a walkman feature on it! There's also an FM radio on it that I don't ever plan on using. I was able to put possibly one of the greatest BGM tracks from a fighting game on my phone as a ring tone: "Fatal K.O."......I couldn't be happier.
Here are a few things I'm looking forward to next month:
1) My birthday. I'll be 22.
2) Midwest Conference (MWC). It's a video game tournament, more specifically for fighting games.
3) Most importantly, a fighting game called "Sengoku BASARA X". I personally think the game is going to be a blast, but only if Capcom/Arc System Works fixes the more significant part of the game's problems.
I would take my video game training a little more seriously right now if it weren't for RPGs. The main ones I'm playing now are "Makai Senki Disgaea 3" and "Tales of Destiny". Man, they are SUCH cool games. But I need to start playing "Arcana Heart" again, which is not an RPG. I just did some casuals with my friend a couple of nights ago, and we both made some substantial improvements in our gaming. We've also noticed things we need to work on. I'm actually getting a little more comfortable attempting to do the things that I once thought were flat-out impossible.

Anime Central: My impressions
I'll keep this one relatively short.
I HAD A BLAST!!! I spent over $300 easy. I was handing out $20 bills like they were candy! I love all of the merchandise I bought. My favorite is the Yusuke doll!
Video games were fun as well. Both of my friends placed 1st in their respective games and represented us very well. I placed third in one game, which is extremely good for me.
I could easily see myself going again, just as long as I plan ahead a little better and have more money.
