Air Gear 5, Fate/Stay Night 18, and Arsenal vs Tottenham in race for 4th spot in EPL

Air Gear 5 was interesting. The story of the 8 kings, and the 8 roads... makes me want to read the manga all over again to refresh my memory.

FSN... some action, it all seems to be building to towards one battle stretched over multiple episodes, or so it feels.

And at this current point in time, Arsenal are leading 4-2 to Wigan, and Tottenham are losing to West Ham. If nothing changes, 4th spot belongs to Arsenal, which cuts out the whole "rightfully qualified" drama that Tottenham were threatening to kick up if they won 4th spot.

All in all, an interesting day.

5/4/06 12:52 am - Air Gear 4

Finally, some action, though still not as much as I wanted.

Air Gear anime still lacks the detail, and the action style of the manga. Only saving grace is its soundtrack, even though the OP/ED ain't that special.

On another note, lets see if I can finish my management assignment 1 week ahead of schedule. Finish it this week, don't have to worry about it while the others are due.

4/29/06 02:59 am - Nintendo "Wii"

As some of your already know, Nintendo today announced the new name of their next-generation console, previously codenamed "Revolution." The new name is "Wii," pronounced like the word "wee."

From the official speech.

"Introducing ... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?"

"Wii sounds like 'we,' which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii."

"Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd."

"So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."



And some of the bad puns about the name are well, truly amazing/funny/stupid.

- "Mum, I finished my homework. Can I play with my Wii some more?"
- "Hey Mom, Roger's bringing his Wii over. We're going to connect his Wii to my Wii and then we'll play all night."
- "My Wii's controller is about 6 inches long, and quite responsive to touch"
- "Hey, lets go play with my Wii."

So, what was wrong with Revolution anyway?

4/27/06 02:11 am - Haruhi 4!

Clearly another insane ep of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I didn't read the novels, so I had no idea who a bunch of new characters were. Still, it was interesting.

4/25/06 05:36 pm - Again, back at the start.

Again, starting another blog, to talk/crap/rant about whatever that suits me.

Lets hope I make it past 10 posts this time.
