Gundams!!!

GUNDAMS!!!! Look at all the gundams!!!! Oh, sorry, I was... umm, really excited that I have 6 new Gundam models ready to be made, just waiting!! The new models are GNZ-005 Garazzo, Tyouhi Gundam, Shibai Sazabi and 3 Military Units. But, sadly I have to wait for my RX-77 Guncannon again because there was no stock in the shop so it was not bought. Man, in a way I am very happy and in another way I am quite sad. The Geara Zulu was not in stock too. But, anyway the happy feeling beats the sad feeling so, Yay!!



I also this week went back to fixing and making my Crossbone Gundam Ver. Ka better. I removed all the decals because at the time I received it I had no experience at all in decals and stickers. Yeah, Master Grade was very new to me at that time. So, the decals were really horrible all the dark spots on it and all. I removed them, quite quickly you can say but it took a while. I also removed the small cutting defects from the runners, I was actually shocked to see how badly I made my Gundam models at that time. So yeah I fixed those bad cutting defects and did a little colouring with the gold and silver markers for the hydraulics. Then, I thought before I posted it on the blog, how bout maybe take off the left side of the armour leaving only the skeleton and paint it and all, then post it so that it'll look kind of cool. And then, Blam!!!! While I was bending the joint of the knee it broke!! ARGHHHHHH!!!! I BROKEEEE!!!!! So now I had to postpone the picture because it is still under repair. I also plan on fixing up my Unicorn Gundam for the blog as well. That's gonna take some time. That's all, now back to the Gundam!!!

A Post?!?!

I seems quite okay now that I have time to post something new, a new topic. I was quite busy last week, I completely forgot to update my blog!! So today's topic is.... DS. Nintendo DS to be exact!! Yes, I am planning to buy a DS soon but the thoughts of the new RX-77-2 Guncannon is killing me and stopping me from collecting money for it. Anyway, there are many variations of the Nintendo DS.

Variations :

The DS lite. This is basically a redesign of the old one only a lighter and slimmer. The DS also has a setting for the brightness level, 4 levels to be exact!! The lowest is level is brighter than the old one however!!! Strange isn't it. They changed the buttons a bit to match the Wii and the gameboy micro's controls and the charger is different. They moved the start button, select button and the microphone too. This is the one I'm aiming for although the DSi is out, but we'll get to that later.

The DSi!!! Yes this is the new DS is slimmer and a wider screen compared to the DS lite and the DS. The gameboy slot has been replaced by an SD card slot. It also has two cameras and AAC playback capacity. The DSi also has 16 MB of ram about four times bigger than the previous models. I'm not really going for this because losing the GBA slot makes a difference.

Last of all the DSi XL!! This is exactly the same as the DSi with all the cameras and stuff but has a wider screen 3 cm larger than the DS lite and the previous designs. But that's all I think.

Well I'm just typing back about the Nintendo DS even though I have posted about it before. Oh, the GUNDAM REPORT!!! Good news for those who like Strike Gundam. They have released Strike Noir and Aile Strike Master Grade with clear kit and a few other models.

(Above) Aile Strike with Clear Kit.

All the following were from Ngee Khiong's blog.

There were other models too like God Gundam and Guntank all are MG (Master Grade). This is the second volume of the Clear Part Campaign. These are Mid February, Early March and Mid March releases. Cool, huh? Anyway, the recent games that have been played are Street Fighter 4 and Plants VS Zombies again!!! It really is addictive. And my elder bro is now watching Kamen Rider Kiva!! Why!!?? I mean just stick to one!! Besides, it's affecting me!!!! Arghhhhh!!! If my Guncannon arrives I am thinking of trying out spraying the runners with red for the parts that are red and others matching their colours. Because as I read through Dengeki Hobby, all the models look soooooo good after they spray it!! Wahhhhhh!!!! I want to try it!!!! Well that's all for the New Post!!!

Something New For A Change

Hmmm, a bit late I see, hmmmm. Well, I didn't really have the time, homework and all, yes school has started, but I wanted to keep a clean record this year. I will finish my homework, that is my new motto, maybe. But, I will finally post something new!!! Wahahahaha!!!


(Above) Geara Zulu.

Okay, to begin where do I start? Oh, yes, THE GUNDAM REPORT!!! Yes I have I think about 3 new gundam models, hopefully, coming this February. The models are Garazoo, Geara Zulu and BB-Senshi 301, I think. But I have decided that maybe RX-77 Guncannon (with clear armour) will be my priority. Anyway, Geara Zulu and Garazoo are not gundams, they are mobile suits, well, gundam are mobile suits too but made out off Gundarium alloy, some of them that is. RX-78-2 is not made out of Gundarium alloy but what makes it a gundam is maybe the technology used on it because gundams have better technology and stuff.




Also I would like to add, I DON'T LIKE KAMEN RIDER!!! But I can't stop watching Kamen Rider W or Masked Rider Double. I think it is one of the good Kamen Rider series which is quite fun to watch. It must be the KRA waves, there are affecting me again!!! The action is okay and a little more realistic in my opinion. Right now I am currently at the 16th episode and ready for more. I'm okay with this series but I don't really like the others like Den-O or Kiva. I especially hate Kamen Rider Decade!!! (Cry Ziq!! Cry!!!) So far my favourite combination is Heat and Joker because of the maximum drive, Joker Grenade (it has the word Grenade). And the new form Fang, ohhh the suspence!!!


(Above) Plants VS Zombies

Now this is the video game report!! Recently I have been playing, this, this, this, SUPER ADDICTIVE TOWER DEFENSE GAME!!! It's really, really, really, really, really, really addictive and it keeps you playing it over and over again. Now, I'm trying out Survival!! Really nice because I can complete my Gatling Pea defense line. Basically you use plants to take out the zombies to stop them from eating your brains. I was introduced to this game for the first time in the Surau of my school. My friend was playing it and I watched. It looked like a pretty cool game. So I tried downloading it. But, at that time the internet caused lots of trouble so it was not downloaded. But, then my elder bro got it from a friend and here I am playing it!! Even my elder bro can't stop playing it.


(Above) Coraline.

This is a good movie. I mean it was quite weird at first, and I hate weird movies. I just have a feeling go down my spine when I watch weird movies, weird as in the storyline, and no I don't get a feeling down my spine when I watch scary movies only weird. But after watching it for more than 3 times, I understood the story, but the feeling still goes down my spine. This movie was actually a book by Neil Gaiman, published in 2002. But they made it into a movie in 2009. You should read the book then watch the movie, but I watched the movie and never read the book. The reason is that you will know the original story and see the difference in the movie. This is a stop motion film adaption but the changes include some new characters, like Wybourne. The characters were made using plasticine. A very nice movie with positive reviews that you should watch.Believe it or not there's also a game for it for the Playstation, Nintendo DS and Wii consoles!!

And I'm now thinking of a new story to put on my blog like the Irrelevant Case of Akiki, but longer. This was a story continued from the original comic, my comic in making, Frontal Wars. It is 14 years after the Nomal War or Rebellion in the second world. There are 5 worlds and this is about the life after the war in the second world. A new technology is found allowing robots to 'capture' the personality of a human based on the Cyber energy unconsciously being released from any person living in the second world. Cyber Energy is the energy used in the second world but the energy differs in other worlds. A boy named Hachi, bought a commercialized robot toy or Miniature Personality Capturing Robot or MPCR and the story goes on about him and the robot. Well, that's the plan I'll see to further planning and drawing. That's all. Have a good night!!!

Mistaken

"Oh, sorry I must have mistaken you for...." that is what some people would say if they have mistaken you for someone else but that's not really what I want to post today. It is about a drink that many people in the place were I am staying have mistaken for an alchoholic drink. Can you guess the beverage that I am talking about? Huh? Can you? Can you? Well, if you thought Bundaberg Ginger Beer, then you are correct!!!!


Well this happened when I was in Kuching, I was walking around with my cousin and my younger brother around the 'Spring' perhaps you have heard of it. Well, we were using the time of around 2 hours because my sister wanted to watch New Moon the new Twilight series movie, thingy, and I didn't want to watch because, well, Twilight, a story about love and blah blah blah. So my cousin didn't want to watch and neither did my younger brother. Well, we looked at Gundam Models, of course that was my idea, they had the new Gundam models there too, and then we were thirsty so we went to buy us drinks. My cousin said they had Ginger Beer there so I thought I'd buy some because I'm addicted to it. We bought our drinks and I bought 2 bottles of Ginger Beer. So we decided to sit by the water fountain place on the lower floor, the one near the parking area, and when while I drank my Ginger Beer, I realized that muslims were watching me drink it. In their mind it was "He is DRINKING an alchoholic beverage!!!"I'm a muslim drinking what SEEMS to be an alchoholic beverage in public!!! Yup, that sounds and looks so bad. But in the end it turned out funny looking at people stare, shake their head and glare at me for drinking something that is not HARAM!!!

Yeah, if you think that was bad, I'd have you know I left the other bottle on the strap on my bag I was carrying to the Surau!!! But that had passed. It's just weird that people think that all drinks in glass bottles are alchoholic. Anyway, that all, one more thing is that the label on the bottle there, in Kuching is different, here, there's the sentence 'Non-Alchoholic Beverage'.

A New Day, Brings Hope.

Why did I type the post title that way, well, I just wanted to put that phrase as a post title, so I did for this one. This was a rather joyous day for me, why, for reasons I keep to myself, but one of them are because most of what I wanted to achieve was achieved. I managed to find a gameplay recorder program a few days ago and I painted another Gundam model my first FG (first grade) yesterday. Well, now that I have it istead of posting pictures or screen shots for the games that I play, I can ppost videos!!!Cool huh, especially for my map, which I made through the Warcraft World Editor, so you can see all the abilities in action. Oh, the joy!! I am also currently watching a lot of series such as Kamen Rider W and Kateikyoshi Hitman Reborn (Kateikyoshi means At-Home-Tutor) which is hilarious. But now the are going into the serious parts of the series. But, I finally realized that I have not been to any amusement parks for a long time, and I long to go on a Roller Coaster again. Right now, I have lost most of my interest in games, I hardly play them.

Just to hint about my upcoming posts, I am going to post gameplay videos of the heroes that I have made, before they are forgotten. I am awaiting the arrival of RX-77 Guncannon with clear armour and saving up too. Well that's all, I just feel really happy right now.

A Trip To....

Wow, now this was quite an amazing month for me. I think it was the first time I went to 2 different places in the same month. I just came back from Kuching as you know from my previous post but then I went to Bintulu. So, I thought I should update my blog as soon as I arrived and I did. Recently, I have been playing games that I have played a long time ago. The game is Virtual On, the game that inspired my drawings of robots. If you watch the video I have uploaded you will realize that it looks just like the robot in the game. Well, that's because he was my favourite character and my main inspiration. But now I have managed to edit my robot base design, which I have not shown, so it would not look the same.



I am not the one playing in this video, I downloaded it from the official website. Just to tell you the latest version of this game was in 2004, Virtual On Marz for the PS2 and it is the one I am showing you now. However, the one I have been playing is an older version of the game, I remember playing when I was still really young, around my primary school years. The first to be released was Virtual On, the one I am playing, the second was Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, the third was Virtual On Force and the last one was Virtual On Marz. It is a really good game. But only the first was released for the computer I think, the other were for consoles like, Dreamcast, PS2 and Virtual On Force was only available on arcade, if I am not mistaken. That's the reason why I did not buy Virtual On Marz, I did not have the console, but only recently did I realize there were emulators. I'm so sad. Well, this is all I got, I really didn't have anything to post.
