John Lewis: Never Knowingly Undersold

Many people were stating how it described their lives, I suppose it's the most convention life one can lead :P. I however never really liked it, for me, this video was much better *WARNING: NSFW:



*check out the boy's version also it's really good.

Playing Rune Factory Frontier

For long periods of time!
Oh dear, I got RFF for myself at Christmas, now all I do is play all day LOL. I think I am addicted oh dear... The girl I think i'll go for is Bianca, the lonely rich girl lol.

My favourite bachelor from the Harvest Moon series (similar games but more about farming, no RPG element) has to be the sweet and shy Cliff (from the first HM I ever played) and Vaughn, he was lovely :P. As for the others, Skye was hot, I never finished HM Tree of Tranquility lol but I liked Julious.

Actually I prefer the Rune Factory games to the HM ones, but since there has never been a "heroine" for RF (yet, Rune factory oceans apparently has one) I can't say which bachelor I liked. However RF characters are much more fleshed out, I loved Max and Ray from RF2 and for sure the storylines and "romance" in RF is what I remember, much more than any HM games. In RF2 I had a very hard time picking a lady to woo, since all were wonderful characters, I ended up playing it twice (something shocking for me) so that I could marry Dorothy the second time around :P (first was Yue :D ).

The first RF wasn't my favourite, but I married Sharron the "ghost" and I was glad that RFF was the "direct sequel" which expanded on Raguna's story. In RF3 which only just recently came out, I of course married the mermaid Pia :P, since I love mermaids, and she was so funny, on more than one occasion she called my character (Leto) "awesomesauce". lol

Really I love dating sims :p (only the fantasy ones, the real life ones creep me out -_-) and Harvest Moon and RF games are the only ones I can get in the west LOL. From time to time I keep up with Angelique and Harukanaru Toki no Nakade, even though they've never been translated into English, just because they sound intresting and have pretty artwork. Ah I love my romance~ LOL

Harvest Moon:

Angel Myth Translation

Unfortunately on my old computer, I downloaded some nasty programme and deleted tonnes of my windows files. I also lost a lot of my old stuff, including all my wallpapers, my music (thankfully I managed to convert if off my ipod, but some I didn't sync and they're gone forever :( ), some of my anime videos, my huge cache of midis and some other random junk.

Also what got deleted, was all my angel myth files! thankfully however I had decided to do some scanlating on this laptop and I have volume 2 and 3 here with me phew! I just have to download 4 and 5 off some raws or if push come to shove, scan my own books. Volume 1 was already scanlated by a proper person who actually speaks chinese! not someone like me who decodes what google translate gives me LOL. I'll begin to start translating it again when I can ;).

Guin Saga

I love Shino Tanno's work (at least I believe that's the correct spelling LOL) they have done the cover illustrations for a japanese saga of fantasy books (think the asian version of A song of ice and fire) which has over 100 volumes!! These illustrations have inspired me to no end! I thought I would share this one with you, the others can be found here (volume 88 onwards).

Only the first three volumes have been translated into English but there is an Anime of it, which has been licensed in English but if like me you want a more intresting, darker knock off, then of course I recommend Berserk to you (the anime not the manga, oh man not the manga!!)
