Acobay

A new blogger might find it difficult to promote his blogs especially if he does not know where to start. Aside from link exchange, there are many other ways to promote your blogs. You might want to checkout some of the consumer network sites that can help you promote your site and boost traffic. There is a new social network site that I came across recently called acobay. By joining, you can share your "stuff" and get connected with each other by sharing the things that you love like cars you drive, places you've visited, movies you've seen, and many other things.

Dragonball Evolution PSP Screenshots

Dragonball Evolution, the next Dragonball title for the PSP but not quite what was expected. This fighting game is based on the upcoming Dragonball movie, the live action movie which you can confirm from the Dragonball movie trailer and the fighter images below. Seeing the trailer, well this is not the DBZ otaku have come to love, but it seems to really draw on the spirit of Dragonball, Goku's younger adventures, with a mix of the older action. Not quite sure how the movie will be or the game but hopefully this game is not slated to be like the Street Figher video game based on the movie what was based on the game ... the DB game based on the movie based on the anime, based on the manga ... it could be ugly, but should be fun for fans and the PSP is always in need of unique titles.

Busy

I feel so tired! Why? Well, we had tests everyday for the last two weeks. Not a day passed without an exam and I only get to sleep an average of 5 hours. Last Tuesday was the toughest as we had tests in all subjects from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening. I guess that's pretty normal in a medical related course. The only way for me to relax these days is by listening to music in my phone before I go to sleep but my old headset is broke. I guess I'll need a new Bluetooth headset.

SD Brave Exkaiser Papercraft

Brave Exkaiser is from a Japanese animated television series that began in 1990, created by Sunrise under the direction of Katsuyoshi Yatabe, and is the first of the long running Yuusha or "Brave" metaseries funded by Takara and produced by Sunrise. You probably noticed tha it looks like a gundam. Well, that's because it's also from Sunrise, the creator of Gundam.

The story takes place on a present day Earth that was secretly visited by a group of space police led by Exkaiser who were chasing after an evil gang of energy beings called The Geisters (led by Dino Geist). Upon arriving on Earth, Exkaiser and his team called the "Kaisers" put their spirits (Similar to Sparks of the Transformers mythos) into vehicles all over Japan so that they could convert them into transformable bodies for themselves.

You can find the papercraft parts here.

Update: All the parts plus the additional backpack have been released by turbolabo.

Bleach DVD vol. 13 Impression

A quick detour and Bleach volume 13 is back on track. Don Kanonji returns for one funny adventure, assembling the Karakura Superheroes to battle hollows. As this quirky story comes to a conclusion the action back in the Soul Society hits new levels as Ichigo continues his Bankai training and Renji departs to free Rukia. A fateful encounter with Kuchiki leaves him close to death. The true power of Bankai begins here and continues as a certain power hungry captain frees Ganju, Chad and Uryu then takes on two fellow captains who show what it means to be a member of the court guards. As Rukia’s execution time approaches, and keeps getting moved up, it’s not just Ichigo and his team the Soul Reapers need to fear for the entire society becomes split on what is wrong and what is right. Just who will come out on top … that’s for volume 14.

Volume 13 of Bleach is everything there is to love about this series. Yeah, the first episode is fluff, made up of one page chapter beginning snippets from the manga, but the next three episodes really kick into gear and utilize the excellent, solid animation, design and voice work. Ichigo continues his training, but the action with Renji, release of his Bankai as well as three captains facing off, now we are hitting the ground running. Volume 12 offered up a lot of background and now, while there is still some history to tell, the action and confrontations begin to make sense and there is no turning back. Yeah there is still more background to learn (like what the hell happened to Aizen) but with these type of special powers, Bankai being unleashed there is so much to love about Bleach and very little to dislike.

Street Fighter IV Trailer Impression on The Examiner

Over on The Examiner I've posted my impression of the SFIV trailer released today. Check out the trailer below then head over to see what I've ranted about, but know this, I think this game looks sick, not new but very well done. The SF formula has survived on strong game play and memorable characters and SFIV just seems to get better. So money I must say.

Q4 2008 Video Game Report

On The Examiner I've posted a three article feature, last week, that takes a look at the top games from Q4, fourth quarter, of 2008. These pieces were divided up in next-gen, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Nintendos systems Wii and DS and finally the PSP, PS2 and a few PC games.

The multi-platform market rocked reducing exclusives for both systems whil e Gears of War 2 and LittleBigPlanet were sweet exclusives.

Nintendo Wii was plain sad while the DS gave innovative Castlevania goodness and plenty of RPG action.

The PSP saw nada while PS2 rocked with Persona 4 by itself as well as some Chain of Memories action.

Overall a good quarter, duh when you consider it's all about holiday sales. See more on the full articles, but if you've not time to read then enjoy what ... well what you just read. Best game of quarter, tie between Gears 2 and P4.
