American Comics
Currently reading Fear Itself, and I find the story to be quite wanting. I mean, the concept itself is interesting, but the tie-in comics are rather bland, and I almost fell asleep reading the tie-in comics. Please do tell me it gets better. After the anti-climactic Chaos War, I thought Fear Itself would fill the empty gap that Chaos war left. Sure, there are some significant developments in Fear Itself, but the journey of reading through it all to arrive at the end of the story is looking like a chore.

page:Kamen Rider Series
I think I may have stumbled upon the solution we are looking for regarding the spoiler function in the wiki. But this will require adding additional code for it to work. It's called the collapsible table. Found it here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Collapsing Since I don't have access as admin, I'm afraid that's all that I can do for this little experiment. I leave the rest to you boss.

Naruto
Didn't Kabuto say something to Madara before he used that wooden technique that Hirashima uses? Wasn't Yamato a clone of Hirashima? Just wondering....

Naruto
Well, I supposed that the younger generation has the upper advantage since they are aware of the techniques of the older generations, and has the opportunity to develop counters if not improve upon the latter's technique. Now I'm wondering if Yamato has anything to do with what Kabuto gave Madara.

What live-action series are you watching or have you watched?
Nice then. Found a few images and I've never seen Gavan that shiny before. Still, Ohba Kenji is kinda old. Like Grandpa old. I'm interested how they'll pull of multiple character for Ohba, since it was mentioned he will also be reprising his roles in Battle Fever J and Denziman.

The Avengers
Wow! Coolness! So the extras are not just extras but actual real life soldiers! Cool! I'm afraid of getting too impressed about this film as it may raise my expectations too much and only leave me disappointed and wanting. I also just learned that Captain America has been released for the DVD and Bluray. Will get that now.

Currently having a liking to Matcha with red bean sinkers.

Naruto
Wow! The five kages kicks ass! It's about damn time too! So they're basically telling us that Madara was that of a badass? Good grief, or could it be possible that the younger generations just got weaker?

Gavan and Goakiger? Seriously? Gavan is like seriously old. I think he was the first of the Metal Heroes, the second being Sharivan and the third being Shaider. Which I would like to point out that Shaider became famous around here because of the blatant panty shots being showed by his partner, Annie.

Choice for phones
Guess what? My subconscious succeeded in finding a reason why I shouldn't buy the curve 9300. I just learned that my service provider has recently added the Curve 9360 into their lineup. This is a higher version of the curve 9300 but at a much steeper price. But I can get it cheaper if I get with with my plan. Although I have to shell out a few bucks for this, it's relatively cheaper than getting an open line phone. How cheap? Probably about 50% off the market price. But since my contract will only end by July next year, I have to wait until April before I can get this phone. *sigh*

Choice for phones
Well, I doubt they're going to start phasing out GPRS anytime soon, as not everyone has the luxury of a phone capable of high speed mobile internet. Most of the local branded phones still rely on the old GSM network. But thanks for the moral support. I needed someone to push me to get it, as I tend to procrastinate when it comes to buying decisions. You could say I'm subconsciously looking for reasons why I shouldn't buy it.

Ah very nice. Keep it up and I won't have to do anything anymore. So two things will happen, either shizu dies or some sort of reinforcements arrive to save her. Did we forget about Aptom? He seems to be the most likely cavalry at the moment.

One Piece
Is it me, or did we last see him munching more of his dope? I think the fight will still continue after Luffy is finished with Noah. Seems kinda cheap if Hody was defeated just like that.

Choice for phones
Just wondering, is it really worth it to get a 3G enabled phone if you are a heavy data user? With my current blackberry curve 8520, I feel that the speed of the GPRS just won't cut it. I'm contemplating getting the Blackbery 9300 3G. Physically, its physical appearance as well as technical specifications are completely the same with my Curve 8520, with the exception that the 9300 is 3G enabled and has GPS, as well as support for a newer version of the OS.

Books and Novels
Reading is good. It gives you a broader understanding of a lot of things. It's up to you to make the time to read. I'm quite busy myself, but I still managed to sneak in a few things under. Like say, when your taking a dump, you don't usually do anything there except exercise your intestinal muscles, so why not use that time to read instead?

Books and Novels
Finally managed to get my hands on the books of Isaac Asimov. Currently reading Caves of Steel, which is supposed to be the second part of his robot series. Some quick info that I didn't know before: Bicentenial Man (the one which Robin Williams starred in) was also written by Isaac Asimov. I was really impressed with the movie and was touched at how things came to be. When I learned that this was based on the novel of Isaac Asimov's "The Positronic Man", I was immediately moved to find the rest of his writings. Finally, another author who will captivate my interest.

Beginner Japanese
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Because frankly, I'm not really good with nouns pronouns and all that english rules. One technique you might employ is that the japanese grammar is the complete opposite of english grammar. So the phrase "I like this bike" can be formed in japanese as "this bike I like". Hmm.... now that you mentioned this, Yoda (Star Wars) does seems to speak in Japanese grammar. So you may want to practice speaking Yoda to be familiar with Japanese grammar. And if you are serious in learning Japanese without formal lessons, read lots of raw manga with a Japanese-English dictionary on hand. This has worked wonders for me. I swear I learned Japanese through playing games before I actually had formal lessons.

Wow! Is fear itself finished? I'm actually itching for it to finish before I read it. And Wow! Again? Nice! Too bad about bucky though....

if you like naruto...
by the way, the first Hunter X Hunter tv series had a total of 62 episodes, the next OAV, Genei Ryodan arc is considered as episode 63-70. The following OAV, Greed Island as episode 71-78, and the last OAV, G.I. Final as episode 79-92. One drawback here is that you have to watch these in succession. With the new remake, everything was reset back to zero.

Hunter X Hunter was aired previously covering up to the Greed Island arc which consists of a TV series and multiple OAV's. I would have been happy if they had continued the story in the last OAV instead of remaking the whole series. A lot of people are actually complaining why a remake was done. Hunter X Hunter was a unique show that after the TV series, they made OAV that continue the story. At least in Hunter X Hunter, there were no fillers, as far as I know. Once an arc was finished, they would stop airing the show, and once a new arc was completed, they would release this as an OAV. Although I haven't seen the whole episode of the new series, I'm quite saddened that they removed a integral character at the start of the series. The character Kaito was an important character that would be relevant at the end of Greed Island arc and the Chimera arc. Looks like they are trying to fast track the story in the remake.

Did I ever mention Hunter X Hunter? I mean, they do have some similarities with Naruto. Like the protagonists father leaving the child to their own devices, going through tough trials to prove himself worthy of his legacy and most important of all, the camaraderie. I remember this just know because I have recently seen the first episode of the revamped anime which started airing last October 2. Not to mention that the serialized weekly manga chapter seems to have normalized.
