Hello, and welcome to Yamcha's Anime universe! Some of you may know me from visiting my Myotaku page (username: Yamchaa), but if you havent visited or dont know me, then thats cool too lol. Im a big anime fan and ive been one for as long as i can remember. I collect anime movies, magazines, figures, all things related to anime, and im proud to say that i have a pretty hefty and diverse anime collecion which is usually constantly growing, and with this new world i hope to make new friends and spread my knowledge of anime to whoever may need it ^_^
I was sitting here bored, so i thought i'd put up a post to update what ive been up to lately :)
For the most part i've been working as usual, but ive been using vacation days and strategically placing them so that i have 3 day weekends and stuff like that lol. Work has been pretty easy, and i still play videogames while im on lunch, so thats pretty much it when it comes to work.
Whenever im off work, ive mostly been home on Xbox Live. Here are some of the games ive been playing -
Saints Row 2
Madden 2011
Halo Reach
Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Im actually undefeated on Madden 2011 so far, i won both games i played online earlier today, so it was pretty fun :) Im about to beat Saints Row 2, ive had that game for about a year now and i just started playing it about a month ago. It's been a fun game so far too and i really like the customization options in that game. I'll post my Halo Reach news on my Halo world because i have some pics to post there lol.
As for Anime, Ive been lucky enough to come across some good shows recently. A week or so ago i finished a series called Now and Then, Here and There, and it was a pretty cool series. i'll have to post more about it sometime, but if you come across it, i highly recommend it :) I also watched a couple of episodes of a series called Tytania, and it was enjoyable so far as well, only time will tell though. The shows ive really been enjoying have been Gun Frontier, Golgo 13 and Area 88. Golgo 13 and the multitude of Harlock series has basically pulled me back into my Anime recording days of the past, and its been alot of fun all over again, just like old times.
Opening theme from Golgo 13
Tytania Opening
Thursday i bought the first 3 dvds of the anime series called Darker than Black, but i havent watched them yet, i'll probably end up doing that in a little while once im finished posting.
Well, i suppose that will be all for now, but i hope to post up more very soon, especially pics and stuff like that, so be sure to check back :)
Another thing i bought was a new webcam and microhpone, along with a video camera (Flip video recorder)
On July 7th, i participated in Bungie vs. The world which was a once in a lifetime playlist on Halo Reach. In the playlist, people from all over the world would be put against a team of Bungie Employees (people who created the Halo Games) and if your team beat them by 20 or more kills, then you would win a steak.
Here is a video of one of the matches i took part in, its actually one of my most dominant performances ever :)
The video follows my spartan exclusively, so youll get to see everything i did through the whole match :)
As for dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, ive really been enjoying it. Ive almost got everything unlocked, and im hoping that there is some 0083music to unlock thats for sure lol.
As some of you may know, the WWe Money in the Bank ppv is tonight, and CM Punk will be wrestling his last match (for now). Im still not sure what all is going to happen, who will win, or if something crazy will happen. Right now im starting to think that there is going to be another Montreal Screwjob lol. I do hope CM Punk wins though, so the story can still continue, i guess we will find out tonight lol.
Well, i guess im going to go play more of this DWG3, i sur hope to chat with you all soon :)
Yesterday i signed up for Bungie PRO, which gives me alot more space for my file share on Halo Reach, and it also allows me to convert uploaded videos to WMV files and download them on my computer.
So yesterday while i was playing Halo Reach online with a friend of mine, some pretty cool stuff happened, so i recorded the video and uploaded it, to test out the new file options. After i uploaded the video, i saved it to my computer and uploaded it on Youtube. So here is the video, from two different angles :)
In this video, you see me come from the shadows and save a teammate from being assassinated. An assassination is an attack from behind, which is an instant kill. if you kill the attacker that is performing the assassination, then you get a Showstopper Medal, which is what i got :)
This is the same video, but from a different angle, which is over the shoulder of my Spartan. The guy with the 1982 above his head is my friend, and we had formed a bottleneck at the entrance of that door in order to catch the blue team off guard, it worked pretty good lol.
Well im sure ill be posting some more videos up as soon as something cool happens again, so be sure to check back :) Hope to chat soon.
This is going to be a pretty quick post, i mostly wanted to post up some screenshots i took of my character while i was playing Halo Reach over the Weekend.
some of the screenshots look pretty cool and i really enjoyed them, so i felt like sharing them with you all :)
This is a screenshot of my character holding onto another character after she was killed, and shooting back at the enemy as they were advancing on myself and the rest of the team.
This is a screenshot of the team. Im the one on the right, who is carrying our teammate to the Landing zone. This is one of my favorite scenes in the game, thats for sure :)
This is a screenshot that was taken during a space battle during a campaign mission. i was teamed up with 3 other random people from around the world, and we worked together as a team really well. in the screenshot you can see how we were all moving as a group, as if we were one force. It's one of my favorite pics, mostly because it reminded me of Macross Plus :)
Well, I better go, but dont worry - ill be posting up some more pics as the week goes by :) i hope to chat with you all soon as well :)
It's been a while since ive last posted, and since ive been off work for the past 3 days, i figured id put a post up and let you all know what ive been up to :)
First off, i wanted to post that i finally played Wanderers From Ys:Ys III (SNES) this morning. Some of you may know that i bought it a few months ago, but i mustve forgotten about it when i moved and i never got around to playing it lol. Xaos brought up the subject of Ys yesterday in a message he sent me, so i thought id pull out my super nintendo and play it for a little bit :)
So far it has been pretty fun, even though ive been at guides looking online. I also have the PS2 game called Ys: The Ark of Napishtim, which i also need to get back to playing lol, but thats for another post lol.
Ive also been playing Halo REACH alot lately on Xbox Live. I recently merged my live account and Gamertag with bungie.net - so now all of my stats are saved directly to my profile on bungie.net in realtime as i am playing. All of my in-game pics are also saved there as well, so you can keep up with the mayhem by checking out all the cool pics that are taken during battles lol.
Over this weekend ive been competing in Arena battles, in order to receive a rank and a division spot, so hopefully ill place somewhere when they give out ranks tommorrow - wish me luck :)
As for anime, the newest anime title ive bought is a boxset of an anime called "The Hakkenden: The Legend of the Dog Warriors", and so far it has been really good. Here is a video of the opening, so you guys can gather your own opinion of it :)
I also recently made a wallpaper using one of my Fan art pieces, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think :)
I plan on making some more wallpapers pretty soon, especially after seeing some of the cool characters in The Hakkenden anime, and as well as some other titles ive been watching lately like Yu Yu Hakusho, Ninku, and Spriggan.
Well, i suppose that will be all for today, i sure hope you all like the pics, and i surely look forward to hearing from you all :)
