First View – Moretsu Space Pirates

Moretsu Space Pirates

What can be said about a show about Space Pirates? Cute moe high school girls? Maid waitresses? Cliche’ security men in suits? Alot when it’s all in one show.  Surprising plotted out well with a firm premise.  I am liking this one.  You should too. Watch Miniskirt Space Pirates today!

First View – Guilty Crown

Guilty Crown

I must say that Guilty Crown is a better than Code Geass and I can’t wait for Inori cosplay this year. Though one member is thinking of cosplaying as Ohma Shu with the big bad-ass sword.  One thing for certain, Guilty Crown is a tie with Persona 4 for the best show of the fall season. What you think?

Meeting Postponed until December 18th

I hate to be bearer of bad news but our annual Christmas meeting is postponed for one week due to a death in the family.  Sadly my brother-in-law passed away yesterday of a heart attack and the visitation and funeral clash with our meeting so I’ve decided to hold it the following week.

My apologies to those wanting to make our meeting but it was unforseen. Merry Christmas.

Bird is the word … Wavebird

Nintendo Gamecube Wavebird

Nintendo Gamecube Wavebird

Every year, after digLondon, I end up playing more and seeking out more gaming hardware.  I’ve been unlocking more of Super Smash Bros. Melee and Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee.  I routinely check out stores for deals. One was one of remaining EB Games. I mentioned I was looking for Gamecube games or hardware, ie. controllers.  They had the usual third party controllers. The employee said he had one original controller in the back.  I don’t know what made me go bug eyed more.  At the fact, that it was a RARE Nintendo wireless gamecube Wavebird controller or the price.  I had NO choice for less than 10 dollars with tax but to buy it… before it was gone.

SWEET!!!

I got it home and it works more than perfect. In fact, better than wired controller. I’m happy and no doubt our club members will love it come our next meeting.  But now it’s time for MELEE!!!

Today at digLondon… AnimeLondon

Well today was one of those ‘Red Letters’ day. I got to to digLondon way too early but ended up helping one of the exhibitors to unload their vechile and prevented them from a costy mistake of setting up in the wrong spot. They had several LARGE fat screen monitors and display which took hours to setup. Time saved because knowing that the show was upstairs NOT downstairs prevented having to take down and setup … again for them.
The monitors for consoles didn’t work becuae wrong connections. I setup the consoles anyway and waited for AV guys to fix the problem.
The Wii failed to read discs… maybe even chew a couple. I ended making a quick trip to home to bring my own gamecube with games. Including smash Bros Melee and Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. Both saw lots of action. Sadly I could do nothing for the SNES which it’s cable to the TV was cut and shoddly rewired. I might be taking my soldering iron and tools to fix it properly tomorrow.
Met some awesome people and even James from Hobbystar who was checking out the event. Funny when he offered to shake my hand, I couldn’t. I was playing with a yoyo I got from another booth. LOL There was motion capture display which was awesome. Lots of swag. Got invited to the big dinner and I’ll be back there tomorrow.
Also one of our club members got a free day pass courtesy of us, Anime London, which allowed him to record some interviews for various blogs, podcasts and magazines he writes and produces. All in all, a good day for Digital Interactive Gaming conference, digLondon … and Anime London which helped out. digLondon is game development conference led in November every year.

First View – Ben-to

Ben-to reviewed

Not quite Ranma 1/2 but just as funny.  Ben-to looks at the high cost of living by nearly killing it’s participates .. with humor. Surprising quick wit right down to the next episode preview that is original.  Fight Club will never look the same to me after watching Ben-to.
