I'm fairly certain you were expecting some sort of official DEAD SITE IS DEAD post, but as it turns out I've finally decided to make a post explaining what my plans are for getting the site back up into a semi-working order. Although this site is very much still dead in a way, I plan on getting back into writing again, these may be reviews, might just be short episodic reactions, or maybe the

Hello, long time no post. Hearthstone is one of the few games I play casually these days, and I finally decided to get legend ranking this month. I've been close a few times, but I never committed enough games to get it. Theoretically, as long as you can get to rank 5 and maintain a win rate over 50% you can get it; the higher your win rate, the lower the number of games you have to

Ghouls; a merciless species of monsters that devour humans while masking their identity as they walk among clueless citizens in broad daylight. There is but one aspect of the Ghouls that differentiate them from your average everyday person, their inability to consume anything other than human flesh. Tokyo Ghoul is an ominous dark horror fantasy as we follow ordinary college student Ken Kaneki

Mekaku City Actors does an exceptional job of introducing a wide range of likable characters that weave an interesting and unique story that is sure to grip your attention as mysteries unfold. A key aspect of the show is how it will excite your visual senses among the bright vibrant colours and background settings. Mekaku City Actors is an offbeat story about a complex timeline of

I haven't written anything in a long time so I thought I'd do so for the only spring 2014 anime that I followed this past season. There will probably be some spoilers if you want to proceed. Nanana is a light novel adaption in the noitaminA timeslot for one cour so it only had 11 episodes. After watching the first few episodes, I thought it had the potential for a decent story. Many weeks later,

Black Bullet was one of the few shows I put on my "must watch" list for the 2014 spring season, and while it's definitely not the next big hit out there like previous shows, Black Bullet is definitely one of the better shows as of late. The plot isn't all that interesting but it's something like the Attack on Titan setting, but filled with loli and a typical independent "high school"

Conception 2 is a Dungeon Crawler RPG with a unique twist on party creation/management that involves creating "Star Children" with the games 7 heroines. These Star Children are similar to the monster creation in Shin Megami Tensai games, as they are characters of different classes and abilities that will aid you in your labyrinth battles. Outside of the Labyrinths, you can chat with the

STRIFE is a new Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) that is both fun and and easy to get into whether you have played other MOBA's or not. Like most MOBA's you choose a character, hop into one of three lanes (or go jungle) and kill NPC minions for gold until you are strong enough to take out a bunch of towers on your way to blow up the enemy base to win the game. You fight alongside 4

Titanfall has had some of the BIGGEST hype and excitement to grace the next gen phase of games, but unfortunately the boys from Infinity Ward's Call of Duty based games have decided to forego next gen innovation to the FPS genre. Respawn entertainment has decided to make a dumbed down version call of duty that features a soldier drugged up on adrenaline with access to a retarded mid-sized

Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova, has seen the mental models steadily progress and develop human nature into their personalities as they diverge from the Admiralty Code and drift away from Kongo and the Fleet of Fog. The show has done an excellent job of showing the steady changes of these AI weapons as they turn towards Captain Gunzo and Iona to discover a meaning to their existence beyond

Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova, thrives on two factors which makes the show incredibly entertaining; tactical naval combat and entertaining battle ships that manifest into living female dolls built from nano-technology; its awesome. When I first started watching Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio, I was quite skeptical and quite honestly turned off by various factors. The characters were boring,

So earlier this week the Canada showing finally came. It was a tough journey avoiding spoilers for a good 2 months but I lasted; I think it was worth it. Suffice to say, this post will be filled with spoilers so if you haven't watched the movie, I suggest you don't go further. Though opinions on this movie are most likely highly conflicted (as was I after first finishing), I feel I can finally

As far as post-apocalyptic worlds go, we've seen a lot of them; nuclear bombs causing human extinction, random weird viruses, and the fan favourite zombie infestation. I've always liked the notion of a post-apocalyptic setting, but most of the time I feel like its used as a stereotypical setting with really shallow excuses as to how the world become so fk'd up. Coppelion has a realistic

So this blog has been pretty dead, but I guess it is my own blog so might as well make a post. An archive of the adventures our guild took within FF14. We went into this game, Rho, Aaro, Cody/Rei Menu/10 billion other names, and myself looking to see what we could make of it. Rho wasn't fully convinced on FF14 and no idea what Cody wanted, but off on our adventure we went. My personal main

Higurashi Outbreak was in a sense, disappointing, yet very satisfying. When I first heard about Outbreak plot being centered around Keiichi and Rena during a mysterious viral infection, I was ecstatic. I had high hopes while imagining a different spin off universe with Rena's insanity alongside Keiichi's brilliant designs, but overall I can't help but feel there wasn't enough impact for this

Talking bird attitude, your argument is invalid. well I wasn't sure what to expect, was kinda thinking this would turn into a boring show, but surprisingly I enjoy the dark themes implanted thus far. After last weeks introductory episode, Akari seems to have joined an anti-Daemonia (monster) combat unit that trains at an under cover school. Like all super secret combat groups, they need a

Yea this is a bit late with the new season already in its second week, but whatever. Suisei no Gargantia was one of my favourite shows of Spring 2013. What I enjoyed most was how the show didn't focus on explosions or crazy plot twists to carry my attention. What made Gargantia such a pleasure to watch, was how it focuses on each character's inner conflicts about their goals and finding

Despite the fact that the show has an abundance of nude scenes interlaced throughout the plot and is embedded into the humour, I still love the characters and serious tones of this show. Last time we saw Issei  he was overcoming an immortal being and saving Rias from a wedding while riding a griffon for an epic finale. Now Issei wakes up with a more passionate Rias and an ever jelous

The only reason I bothered downloading this was due to the character art reminding me of Disgaea. I didn't know what to expect but I was surprised with the amount of psychological thrills that came from Gen'ei wo Kakeru Taiyou. Akari is a bright girl who uses tarot cards to do readings and whatnot for people as it was passed down by her mother. She lives with her aunt and uncle and works

Danganronpa is a murder mystery game on the PSP that reminds me of 999. The game was never localized but I have been reading a translation of the game online and it is a wonderful narrative. Upon hearing that an anime adaption was coming out I was ecstatic, but I can't really say the first episode lives up to the game. Episode 1 was the prologue of the show, and it was rushed to try and

Sadly yes :'( When I first started watching Maou-sama I was immediately engrossed in the characters, each episode was awesome and balanced out each important character's screen time to capture the humour of the show. Episode 10 was a big let down as it was completely unnecessary and acted as a filler, and since there hasn't really been any plot advancement, save for the dry mystery surrounding

E3 2013! This year's E3 showed lots of new game content plus the long awaited showing of the rest of the next gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony. I think i'll start this off with some new console info, followed by the games, and then a summary of some sort. First of all Nintendo already released their WiiU last year and also didn't bother with a traditional press conference so I will

I do hope this new laptop I bought will be able to last another 2 years.
