College

Just got moved in. Long day so far, but not a bad day Hope to return to my anime watching habbits.

Bleach 183

Wow, lots of plot movement happened in this episode. Predictable but great…at least to me. Though, not much actually happened per se. I mean, the plot moved but no one really did anything major. Despite this episode being in an anime arc *rolls eyes* it’s not that bad for once. Much better than the previous ones.

Don’t forget, you can get this anime series and more at Cireus-Anime.

Macross Plus

This 4-part OVA, has a great storyline. It’s about a hotheaded, irrational pilot who gets booted out of the military to the test pilot for the new YF-19 fighter. I won’t ruin the story too much but, it was great. There’s a bit of boring romance, but other than that there’s mecha fights, aviation battles, and lots of breaking things (courtesy of the main character). Definitely one to watch again. It also appears to have spawned many spin offs. I’d download them but, my hard drive is a tad out of space at the moment.

Macross Plus (OVA)

AoC Gold Farmers Suck

Aye, anyone else get annoyed by the /tell spams and the message box spam? I know I do. Here’s a little ditty I composed (sorta, I mean….I just changed the lyrics).

Gold Farmin’ Machine
(Killing Machine by Judas Priest)

I never give no answers, I never /tell no lies
I never walk a straight line so I never get surprised
I don’t ask no credit cards so I won’t get abused
I learned to farm when I was young
So I’m never ever gonna lose

They pay me the money and I’ll do the job
I got a contract for you
I got a contract, for you

I never send no resources, I never use my gold
I always found /t spamming helps to keep me and my kind alive
I take care of business, It takes care of me
I look after myself and do it well
’cause some GM’s always looking for me

They pay me the money and I’ll do the job
I got a contract for you
I got a contract for you

What manner of farmer am I?
A coin purse, lump sum and then I move on
What manner of buyer are you?
Stab a friend’s back to jump a queue

I do what I do ‘cos I can’t do nothing better
You do what you do, just buyin’ my gold

‘cos you ain’t got nothin’ better to do

I got no guild, no name, I’m just a gold farming machine
I kept the gold grindin down, if you know what I mean
I never stop in one place, I move about the regions
Got expensive tastes, but I hasten to add that
I’m the best that there is

They pay me the money and I’ll do the job
I got a contract for you
I got a contract for you

I got a contract for you
I got a contract for you

Code Geass R2 Episode 17

It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed an anime episode. I’ve been fed up with Soul Eater and it’s tangent stories about the stupid Excalibur. Anways, down to business. Episode 17 made me feel like I was watching Season one. Now, this isn’t saying this episode is a flashback; it most certainly is not. There were many more plot twists and less of Lelou being semi-emo and feeling bad for himself. This was the I’m a cold-blooded terrorist Though, he tells constant lies about his screw-ups calling them “what he wanted to happen” in front of Suzaku. You don’t get much insight into anything, but the plot twists made my sit on the edge of my seat. Or that may have just been me eating my pizza*. Either way, I am glad the episodes are more like the first season. And if you haven’t started to watch Code Geass, I advise you to do so. Especially if you enjoyed Death Note. It has the same sort of “I’m a good kid” and “I’m a world dominator”.

This ad to make you eat pizza has been paid for by Whitestreak’s parent’s money. literally. free pizza yay.

Characters

So far in AoC I’ve played

Necromancer - my main, I love the squish caster high DPS. my favorite
Assassin - I’m gonna wait until they balance the male/female damage a bit.
Herald of Xotli - looove this class. currently taking a break due to it being yet another caster
Guardian - not my cup of tea. not enough cool combos. sure, you get full plate and mega HP but blah class to me
Bear Shaman - fun. very fun. haven’t gone far because I wanted to try Dark Templar.
Dark Templar - haven’t stopped playing it since I started (except for guild events). great magic/melee combo. the polar opposite of the HoX in terms of spell/combo types.

My Anime List

I finally got around to finishing my anime list. The links to Anime News Network aren’t up yet, but I wrote down all the names of the anime on the page. All together (with some of the manga on the Lists: Manga page) these take up more than 32GB so be warned if you download them all

Lists: Anime

Black Lagoon

An interesting anime. Lots of action, large breasted (and quite violent) women entwined in a plot about a 25 (maybe a bit older) year old trying to find his place in the world. Boring right? Hell no. He gets kidnapped by pirates (the Black Lagoon Company) and gets abandoned by the firm he works for. He then joins the pirates in their misadventures to get money and power. Lots of action with a hint of romance. By the end of the second episode, you can tell who likes who. While the love side-plot is slightly predicable, the real story is not. The first season, simply entitled Black Lagoon, appealed to me more than Black Lagoon: Second Barrage solely because it focused more on random mini-plots where the group was trying to make money. The Second season has more of a “season” plot. I’m hoping for a third season as the second one did not end very well…and the anime is ongoing.

Ebonlore is gone

Yes that’s right. Ebonwh–Ebonlore is gone…from Age of Conan at least. It seems someone hacked their site and their officers’ AoC accounts. Their guild was disbanded, officers lost all their gear and money, and their Guild City and Battle Keep are up for grabs. Oh, and there are some screenshots out confirming Ebonlore’s hacking. Pretty nifty stuff. I’m glad they’re gone though, that guild ruins games.
