Ahhh, what a great break, I seriously needed that break but now I'm back, with a new Weekly Jump summary.
Naruto Chapter 480
Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Danzo
- Alright so we left off on the "did Sasuke hit the real Danzo?" moment and let's see if he did...
- Wait... So Danzo has one eye left and it seems like he can do the technique again but something is wrong...
- For some reason Danzo can't use the Izanagi.
- Oh, they explain it, you see Sasuke used a Genjutsu to make it LOOK like Danzo had one eye left but he really didn't.
- Ok so Danzo is beat and... uhh... to heal himself Sasuke bites on Karin's arm... yeah...
- Danzo gets back up and this time using the Sharingan in his left eye to fight.
- Danzo takes Karin hostage...
- Holy crap, I seriously can't believe I feel sorry for her but Sasuke just attacks right through her to get to Danzo... Oh and that's were the chapter ends.
Bleach Chapter 390
Current Battle: Everyone Vs Aizen
- Ok we left off when Hitsugaya released his Bankai and talked about one of Aizen's speeches, the one about like hatred or something.
- Hitsugaya charges at Aizen as we FINALLY get to see where the hell Gin has been this whole time.
- Wow while Hitsugaya does his cool ice themed attack on Aizen Love and Sajin use their Shikai/Bankai to help him out and Aizen is obviously still doesn't even have a freakin scratch on him.
- Aizen breaks Sajin's Bankai's sword with ease...
- And cuts off Sajin's arm as well...
- After Sajin gets practically killed by Aizen, Love and Rose try to attack from behind using their Shikais
- The chapter ends as Gin talks about how amazing Aizen's powers are.

Sorry about this but...
I will be taking a break this week, I know I said I didn't want to make a habit out to taking a break and if I want a real following of more than 3 people reading my blog I need to post frequently and be reliable enough to not take breaks often, but at least I am reliable enough to tell you guys, so yeah, like I said I will be taking a break for this week, there may be a post on Saturday but I'm not sure, I mean this is Mid-term week so I really need to focus on studying and whatnot.

This Week In Weekly Jump
Ok gotta study for finals so, I gotta hurry this up, oh and as a little notice, I think I MIGHT not post during finals week, which is like Tuesday - Thursday, I might write a post on Monday but I'm not 100% sure on that, if anything it'll be quite the short post. Anyway let's just get on to the summaries shall we?
Naruto Chapter 479
Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Danzo
- Ok so Tobi explains what Danzo's Izanagi power is, and it's basically able to make anything (for just a brief moment, and we're talkin seconds) a dream, even injury or death, making it the perfect Genjutsu.
- Oh and it can make the user's attack reality.
- He can basically only use the Izanagi once for every sharingan he has, and once the jutsu is cast, that eye will close, forever.
- Danzo summons a giant wind elephant (in the world of Naruto this is very normal) to finish Sasuke off since the Susanoo can't really move while an elephant the size of a mountain is trying to suck them up.
- Sasuke uses a Katon blast... and fired it at the beast's mouth, which... "killed" it I presume?
- Karin finds out that every minute one of Danzo's Sharingan eyes close, Sasuke also figured that out without her help...
- The chapter ends as they both clash, and by clash I mean impale each other in the stomach.
Bleach Chapter 389
Current Battle: Ichigo Vs Aizen
- Ok so we left off as everyone said something like "This is our fight too Ichigo" and now Hitsugaya and Kyoraku try to sort of double team him.
- Shinji is sort of sad that Ichigo didn't bring Orihime with him, so they could all be healed like nothing but he says he'll let it slide since he brought Unohana.
- All the Vaizords charge at once...
- Soifon says something to Ichigo about an opening, and he has to pay attention or he'll miss his chance.
- Then she says somethin about everyone fighting to stay alive...
- It's kinda awkward to summarize something like Bleach because most of it is fighting and metaphors, or at least now with them fighting Aizen it's more like sword clashes and metaphors...
- I'm not sayin it's bad to have a villain who's deep or whatever, but it gets a little embarrassing when these summaries turn out to be like two sentences long...
- Hitsugaya goes Bankai...
- The chapter ends as Hitsugaya gets pissed off after some comment Aizen made about Hinamori.

PS3 Wand (Motion Controller) Vs. Project Natal
Ok, so I am not trying to do a "I am a PS3 fanboy so Wand!" or a "I am a 360 fanboy so Natal", I will be buying both so I don't want people getting the wrong idea, I mean I sort of take the Wand as a peripheral and Natal kind of like a separate console, and I mean that Natal trailer practically made me crap my pants, it was just so awesome, but I am proud to say the following statement that I will definitely stand by all the way "If the Ape Escape PS3 Wand game comes out along with the PS3 Wand, I WILL get it before Natal if they are released around the same time." I am dead serious about that because I am not gonna bitch to Sony about a new Ape Escape game then when it finally comes out push it aside for later because of the shiny new thing from Microsoft, hell no. Also, about the Wand, I know that isn't the official title for it but it's what I like to call it, oh and another thing about it, there is actually already a list of games that are going to be made for it, I copied this list directly off of Wikipedia so I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate:
Ape Escape (working title)
Echochrome 2 (working title)
Eccentric Slider (working title)
Sing and Draw (working title)
Champions of Time (working title)
Motion Party (working title)
Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition
The Shoot (working title)
Tower (working title)
Under Siege
Oh and there is a list of games that will have motion control added in through software updates, again copied from Wikipedia: LittleBigPlanet, Pain, Flower, Hustle Kings, High Velocity Bowling, and EyePet. With no official word on any Natal titles I really hope we get something good for a launch title, like one of those games shown in the trailer. Also, one thing that really interests me when it comes to Natal is fighting games, it showed a fighting game in the trailer and honestly that was my favorite part of the whole video, I never bought fighting games on the 360 because of the crappy d-pad, but Natal could actually change all of that and make me really want to start buying more fighting games for the 360. But like I said before, with the PS3 Wand I get an Ape Escape game with motion controls, I mean I could literally be waving the net and stun club around to catch monkeys, on the long awaited next gen Ape Escape game... I think that if they come out during the holiday season I will try to get both of them for Christmas, and I seriously can't wait for Natal because I see it as sort of the future of gaming, like maybe we won't be getting a next gen system this year since it's way to soon, but we get the next best thing with Natal. And this might not be a very positive thought to end on but... I really hope Natal and the Wand don't... you know... suck...

Gaming Otaku Recommends: Videos
So I actually spent like 2 and a half hours on that list yesterday, and I am proud of it too since I was watching Knocked Up on G4 while typing. So, I kind of felt like taking a break today, but I just decided to do something small instead, so this is basically just 3 videos to show you that I really recommend you watch since I really don't feel like typing... especially on finals prep week. Well, uhh... ok I am not good at these... These videos are not exactly intended for children, not all of them but... where was I going with this? Well, whatever not intended for children ect. don't say I didn't warn you.
The newest Dr. Tran episode:
A new music video from Little Kuriboh:
And last but not least, a sequel to the Film Cow cartoon Llamas with Hats:
Sorry this seems short but at least you have some videos to watch.

Top 5 PS2 RPGs (That I Own)
Ok, so... uhh, I left out a few RPGs that I have and for good reasons, reasons I would rather not explain, games I left out would include... Kingdom Hearts 1, the original .hack series, every final fantasy game, and Star Ocean. So yeah... let's get this started.
5. Disgaea 2
Well, what to say about Disgaea 2 without first mentioning the original, which will also be on the list... In my opinion I think Disgaea 2 was still a good game but simply not as good as the original, not drastically I mean I certainly don't HATE Disgaea 2, I mean if I did then why would it be on this list? Anyway, one reason I sort of saw it as a game not as good as the original (I just used the word as like 3 times in that sentence didn't I?) is because I was so ready to see the continued adventures of Laharl and friends and to see what happens after the ending and to see which ending was the one that counts and all that good stuff to just start off a new adventure with all new characters and not get my answers as to what happens after the "real" ending until Prinny came out, which by the way was after Disgaea 3. But I got over that since the characters are likable and the story is interesting. However, my main complaint is the grinding is a little... awkword... lemmie evaluate, you see you can sort of go through the first few levels without having to grind, then you reach a point that after each level (or board or whatever) you need to grind a bit, but the previous level doesn't give you enough XP and the Item worlds are either too hard or too easy, and trust me when it gets really hard to grind at the BEGINING of the game it get's really frustrating.
4. Disgaea
Ok so here it is, the original, I told you it was on the list and it's right under Disgaea 2 on the list. Obviously, like I said before I like the original more, but it always brings that thought in my head... "so if their like 1,000 and something years old and they look like kids... is 1,000 years like 10 for them or like how do they age?" but whatever let's not over analyze things like that. Anyway, I think the characters in this game are likable, the story may be kinda... well cliche in ways but it's like a good cliche, kinda like Gurren Lagann, it doesn't take itself too seriously so you don't feel like you need to look away from the screen every cutscene and jump up in fear if someone comes in and then pretend like you weren't playing it because your embarassed because it feels like watching an old Pokemon movie, it feels kinda like the writer knows that it's like that and constantly makes fun of his own writing, which is in a way, kinda fun to watch. Also, in my opinion the voice acting was pretty damn good in this game and was just as good (if not better) than the Japanese voice acting, even though everyone seems to think that the English voice actors are terrible. Also I don't think I mentioned the gameplay have I? Well it's kinda like a game of chess mixed with a turn based strategy game, which maybe doesn't sound awesome but trust me it is, it's kind of a way to put a spin on turn based combat to make it less like just clicking and more strategic, and the grinding issue in Disgaea 2 doesn't exist here, it seems like when you need to do some grinding you just go to an item world and you can find one that isn't too hard and isn't too easy.
3. Persona 3
I know what your all thinking, you want to kill me for this not being number 1, and I am sure it won't help at all when you see what number 2 is... but honestly it took me like 20 minutes of just thinking so that I could place this game and the number 2 game in order of preference. Ok so enough apolgizing, let me get to how awesome this game is. Well, for starters the anime cutscenes are probably among my favorite video game cutscenes ever, and the combat isn't just turn based, it has the whole "weaknesses" element of gameplay which sort of makes you think and plan out your moves instead of just click 10 times, and the "dungeons" are fun to adventure around in, and not to mention the enemy encounters aren't just random, you see the enemies in the dungeon and you can choose to either just run like hell and hope it doesn't catch up with you, or maybe you could attack it first and get the upper hand, or it could get the upper hand by attacking you first, and so that your grinding doesn't get too boring they have little challenges called Elizabeth Requests so while you, say look for 3 of some item dropped only by certain enemies, while you look for said enemy for the reward you can kill everything in sight, so with a goal set it kind of makes the expirience less boring. Also, the story is really interesting and the "sim" aspects of the game make it really fun as well, but sadly in the (for now) Japan only remake of Persona 3 on the psp took out all of the sim aspects, which I hope was just for space and not on purpose.
2. .Hack//G.U.
Ok, like I said I bet if I had more than 1 reader I would get alot of angry comments of people saying that they want to kill me for making this number 2 and making Persona 3 number 3... but honestly if I could just have 2 number 2's then I would but I can't I had to put them in order of preference and honestly I like .Hack//G.U. a little bit more, I'm not sure if it's because I like the combat system more, or because I played G.U. recently and it's been a while since I played Persona 3, or because I like the "your playing a game about a kid playing an online game but the game your really playing isn't online like the one he is..." yeah sounds confusing but you get it once you play, and even if turn based combat does have a twist on it to make it less boring I still prefer real time combat in RPGs like in G.U. and I also like it how practically everytime you need to majorly grind you get a little e-mail from someone that says something like "Hey I found a new area that will be perfect for grinding at our specific level" and that's just awesome. I seriously love this game and when I look at all of the hours I spent on Volume 1, I realize that I'm probably not even half way done with it, and I have 2 other volumes to go.
1. Kingdom Hearts 2
Yeah, I said I didn't count the original Kingdom Hearts so... obviously that meant I had Kingdom Hearts 2 on this list, and being the amazingly awesome game it is I just had to put it on this list. Also, I am always proud to say this with a smile on my face, I pre-ordered this game 2 years before it came out and got the very last copy, and this was at Gamecrazy where it isn't "first come, first serve" or at least it wasn't like that for major releases so I was actually on a list and just so happened that my number was the exact same number of copies they got the day it came out. Also, it was probably the most anticipated game of not only that year but probably my whole life, then again there was Brawl... but whatever I don't even need to explain the game mechanics, or how awesome the story is, or how great the story is, because honestly I can't explain all of it without going on for like 3 paragraphs and it would just be a waste of everyones time because I am pretty damn sure that like 98% of people who own or have ever owned or know anyone who has a ps2 have played this game, so you all know how fun it is hitting enemies with a giant key in Disney themed worlds allied with Final Fantasy characters.
5. Disgaea 2
Well, what to say about Disgaea 2 without first mentioning the original, which will also be on the list... In my opinion I think Disgaea 2 was still a good game but simply not as good as the original, not drastically I mean I certainly don't HATE Disgaea 2, I mean if I did then why would it be on this list? Anyway, one reason I sort of saw it as a game not as good as the original (I just used the word as like 3 times in that sentence didn't I?) is because I was so ready to see the continued adventures of Laharl and friends and to see what happens after the ending and to see which ending was the one that counts and all that good stuff to just start off a new adventure with all new characters and not get my answers as to what happens after the "real" ending until Prinny came out, which by the way was after Disgaea 3.

This Week in Weekly Jump (Finally!)
Ok here we go, after two weeks of no weekly jump I am ready to read and summarize some Bleach and Naruto!
Naruto Chapter 478
Current Battle: Sasuke (Or... Itachi...) Vs Danzo
- Ok so as we left off Itachi comes outta nowhere and Ameterasus Danzo in the face.
- Awww, it was just an illusion =(.
- Sasuke is covered in some... curse mark looking thing, and he can't move...
- Ok so Karin tries to attack Danzo but he just kicks her away, haha useless...
- Right before Danzo cuts Sasuke's head off his Susano'o (sorry if it's misspelled) activates and sends Danzo flying.
- Sasuke breaks the curse thing that was preventing him from moving and activates a new form of Susano'o (or is it Susanoo?).
- Sasuke's new Susano'o shoots an arrow (yes it can shoot arrows now) at Danzo.
- Without explaining what a Mokuton is it somehow makes sense of a non-Uchiha controlling a sharingan and how Danzo was able to change the course of Sasuke's Susano'o arrow attack.
- Oh god! They explain what a "Mokuton" is on the next page and it ain't pretty... Basically it means that he implanted the cells of the first Hokage to give him extra strength, which must have been implanted by Orochimaru since they did mention his name right after they said Mokuton, oh and the whole cell thing also means he has a face growing out of his arm...
- Danzo does like a shadow clone jutsu when he gets hit with another arrow...
- The chapter ends as Tobi mentions a forbidden jutsu or something.
Bleach Chapter 388
Current Battle: Ichigo Vs Aizen
- We start the chapter off as Ichigo decides to try and kill Aizen in one hit with the element of surprise and as he swings his sword...
- he hits some... barrier thing... wait what?
- Wait Ichigo says and I quote "he blocked it", but there was a huge effin barrier thing, I don't think his sword got within 10 feet of Aizen, well you know what, never mind...
- Oh, ok they explain it, Aizen knows that the back of the neck is a weak spot for any living creature and so he has a little barrier thing there to protect himself.
- Ichigo hollowfies and blasts a Getsuga Tensho headed right for Aizen but he teleports behind Ichigo and taunts him.
- Aizen goes on with that "do you really hate me" speech, sorry Kubo but I have heard that before... ALOT.
- Komamura rushes to protect Ichigo from Aizen's speech getting to him, and the chapter ends as we get a nice picture of everyone still alive who now vow to protect Ichigo, and I have to say that I would like to see that picture colored...

dothackers and NeoToonami updates
Well the Neotoonami update isn't much of an actual update, it just like a "visit this youtube channel to watch old Toonami bumps" update. But dothackers really has an update...
And that update is kind of important... you see when something happens, like a series ending or a twist ending people over analyze the crap out of it, I mean there are people still over analyzing the ending of Code Geass, I won't say what the ending is but if you know what I'm talking about then you should know about how people can over analyze it, and when they said that .hack//Link was the end of .hack, people over analyzed that statement and said things like ".hack may be ending but what about a cool spin-off?" and what not, but an interview with CC2 president Matsuyama, tells us that "...in no uncertain terms that while some anime, manga, etc. will continue for about a year, after that, .hack will end. This is the third and final "season" of .hack." so I am guessing that means no MMO based on the WORLD? If so that really brings me down, it's like CC2 is sitting on a goldmine but has some reason to not dig up the gold and cash it in. To see the full article just click here.

My Top 3 DS RPG Games (That I own)
Ok, I am doing this post on a Monday, and I am super busy on Mondays so I need to hurry this up...
3. Megaman Battle Network 5 Double Team
Ok so I like the battle network games in a different way than the other Megaman games, most people just don't like Megaman as an RPG and I totally understand that but I really like the Battle Network series, I can't keep up with the new ones and I'm not sure if they are any good but I liked 3, 4 and especially 5, it was one of those games that my brother got the version everyone got and then I got the other one, that actually wasn't ever a bad thing, I always liked getting the "other" version. Ok so bottom line, I really like it but it's not number one on my list, now let's get down to number 2!
2. Pokemon Pearl
Like I said before I always got the "other" game, even though my brother didn't get Diamond, I just HAD to get Pearl to sort of not break the tradition, which is the reason I will be getting Soul Silver instead of Heart Gold. As a gamer with soooo many games of so many genres I sort of go through "phases" and right now I am going through an RPG "phase" so I have been playing nothing but Pokemon for like the last month. With all of the parody that comes with Pokemon and how much I think the anime sucks I must admit that the games are made by Nintendo so they are just simply awesome. The grinding doesn't take too long but when I resumed my old file I found my Prinplup to be at least 10 levels above all of my other Pokemon so right now I am just trying to create a balanced team. The fact that my friend has Platinum, it kind of pisses me off since he just takes the amazing things added to the game as like a "Oh you don't have _______ in Pearl? That sucks." but I am saving up and cannot afford Platinum... anyway back on topic I really recommend this to someone who needs a good old RPG to take with them wherever they go to pass the time, worked wonders for me when I was waiting for my food at a restaurant.
1. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
This should have been obvious, I mean come on, it's like a ps2 game that you can take with you on your DS, I'm not sure about you but that sounds awesome to me. Honestly this game is so awesome there really isn't much to say but, if you thought Chain of Memories was a good portable Kingdom Hearts game, then this will blow you away. I seriously am just trying to think of things to say about this game's awesomeness, but I would probably go on for an hour, but let me just try to find a few things to say. Well, for starters I am almost speechless about this game and I probably haven't even finished half of the game. And uh, well, seriously it's just a Kingdom Hearts game practically as good as a console game but on your DS, that's amazing. Although I do think that Birth By Sleep will be even better... hmmmm maybe I should make a psp RPG list...

New Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Info
Sorry if this post seems short but I am typing this late, I had friends over today, and I just got my Swine Flu vaccination... so sorry I am just soooo tired. Well today's post is about a new character announced in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Yatterman-2, which I was really hoping to get announced because now the roster is even. Here's a video:
Like I said I really don't wanna make a habit of this but I am having trouble keeping myself awake right now so at least I did some sort of post today.

This Week in... wait what?
I SERIOUSLY need a break especially since there is no Weekly Jump this week, BUT to not disappoint I will do a summary of the newest Fullmetal Alchemist chapter, and if I sound stupid then sorry it's just because I stopped reading it a while ago and am not fully caught up...
Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 102
- Of course with Fullmetal Alchemist the chapter artwork thing had ads for awesome Fullmetal Alchemist products that I really want but are only available in Japan =(.
- Ok so from what I can understand Pride and Wrath have Mustang captured and decide to take him to "father's room" but he has to go through... the gate! Dun dun dun!
- When Mustang arrives in the room Edward freaks out when he hears Mustang mention the gate and tries to find what it took when Mustang claims he can't see even though the room is well lit, obviously the gate took his eyesight.
- Father makes fun of the irony of what the gate took from all of the people in the room, Ed, Al, Mustang, and Izumi.
- Scar and Wrath fight...
- Interesting... Wrath claims he doesn't remember his real name, so I guess that means Bradely isn't his real name.
- The others find Father's room thanks to that giant hole in the ground Scar made.
- Apparently Al's soul was at the gate and could have gotten his body back but his body was in no condition to fight so he went back in his armor promising to come back for his body.
- The chapter ends as Father grins about "the fifth" since Al is awake now.

Gaming Otaku Rant!
Ok so, I am kind of running out of ideas and was hoping for that little break on New Years to refresh the idea box but I felt bad taking two breaks almost in a row so I did a post that day anyway, so today's post will be about how some (2 series in particular) anime DVDs are just way to expensive for the small amount of episodes. Both of the examples I am going to list aren't this expensive at Rightstuf or Best Buy and the prices I am listing are the "Retail prices" of the DVDs on Rightstuf, not the Rightstuf or Best Buy price.
Example 1: D. Gray-Man DVDs
Price: $59.98 each half season (13 episodes)
Example 2: One Piece DVDs
Price: $49.98 each "voyage" (13 episodes)
Ok, well at least I would sort of consider buying those One Piece DVDs but $60 for 13 episodes of D. Gray-man, that seems like a stretch. I mean I don't expect to be getting each season for $25 since D. Gray-Man is pretty new, but I really can't set that money aside for 13 episodes without feeling like I kind of wasted my money a little, D. Gray-Man is really awesome but I only got the first season since it was over 50% off on Rightstuf for Christmas. I think I would be able to set aside $50 for the One Piece DVDs and not feel too bad since the Funimation dub is so awesome compared to the awful 4Kids dub. I am not sure what a good price would be for 13 episodes but I think $50 is ALMOST there. Another good idea would be to just sell them a whole season at a time for less of the price than the "voyages" or "parts" of that season combined, like sell the D. Gray-Man parts $60 each but have each season cost less than $120. At least I have Best Buy and Rightstuf to make it so that I don't have to pay the outrageous "Retail price" for these DVDs and I can afford them.
Sorry if this post seemed a bit short but I skipped a break and I am having a hard time staying awake as I am writing this.

Top 5 Games of 2010 I Am Hyped Up For
It has been a while since I did a major post about video games or a nice top 5 or top 10 list, and after all I am the GAMING Otaku so let's do this. This list is basically the top 5 games I seriously can't wait for in 2010, and since this is not a top 6 list, and I won't have the money to get it when it comes out anyway, Bayonetta will not be on this list. And believe me when I say this, this list was a tough one to put in order of preference. Oh and last little message, I am gonna be using pictures for this post again (why did I stop doing that in the first place?).
5. MAG
Ok so I MIGHT not get MAG on the day it comes out but it does look pretty awesome, I mean over 200 people playing online at the same time? Sounds either awesome or like quite the problem. I am most likely going to wait a while after the game comes out and read/watch a few reviews to see if the maps are big enough to make it so that you aren't sniped the second you respawn... every time, or if the servers can handle all those players at one time, ect. Then if all is positive I will save up my money and enjoy the massively multiplayer mayhem... hey I just made that up on the spot, cool.
4. Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars
I already own the original version of this game in Japanese but wow it'll be great to play it in my own language and those new characters will be awesome. Since I love the "Vs" series so much I really don't mind buying this game a second time and it's actually sort of my way of saying thanks to Capcom for going through the nightmare of having to localize it and show how much of a dedicated fan I am. I had trouble fitting my Christmas presents onto my game shelf but let's just hope I can make room for this game and the next on my list this month on my most crammed shelf of all, the Wii game shelf.
3. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Ok so I kind of hate myself for putting this so low on the list I mean I already have the money for this game (and Tatsunoko Vs Capcom) saved up already and if this were a list of my top 5 January 2010 games, believe me this would be number 1. Now that I got that out of the way, I seriously can't wait for this game and I just rush over to the Gamefaqs board for it almost everyday just hoping that a new scan or a new trailer is out for it because it is just going to be an amazing game. Thanks to the original No More Heroes I now know so much about Suda51 games and their awesomeness. I really don't know what else to say about this game since it is just going to be so great.
2. Super Mario Galaxy 2
It seems with Nintendo, they always like to show us a trailer or a teaser, then vaguely give us the year of release and then focus on something else with their new big titles, I don't feel left in the dark or anything I just kind of feel like I want the game more, and that seems to be the case with Super Mario Galaxy 2, I haven't checked for ant new info recently but that's because there wasn't any for pretty much ever so I just keep assuming Xplay will probably inform me when new info finally rises. I seriously can't wait for this game and over the Thanksgiving break back in November I replayed the original and want Galaxy 2 EVEN more. I really hope this game doesn't get pushed back since we were only given the year of release (2010) and when it comes to Mario games they usually do delay them a bit.
1. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
I know what plenty of you are thinking so let me just say first what Nintendo fanboys are thinking, then what Square Enix fanboys are thinking, *ahem* Nintendo fanboy: "HOW COULD YOU THINK THIS JAPANESE BULL**** IS BETTER THAN MARIO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!" and SE fanboy: "He is one of us!" Sorry bout that but I'm pretty sure that is exactly what you were thinking Nintendo and Square Enix fanboys so let me just say this, I am not a Square Enix fanboy and I am just somehow more excited for this game than Galaxy 2, but I mean if I could just simply put them both as number one then I would but I had to make the decision and I just think that Birth By Sleep will pretty much count more as a real (not, real... but... uhh not portable is kinda what I meant) Kingdom Hearts game instead of a "portable" game, like Chain of Memories, I am sort of in between with 358/2 days since I don't count it as the same thing as Chain of Memories (even though I did like that game) but I'm not sure if you could really put it in league with the home console games, sorry if this is sounding confusing I'm not trying to make it so confusing. Anyway from what I have seen so far I look forward to buying this game when it comes out in the US because I don't import RPG games.

New Birth By Sleep Trailer and NeoToonami Intro
Today's post will be short in words but you have two videos to watch so it's not so bad, the reason it is so short is because I was originally not going to do a post for today but what the heck I'll just go with this, and with Birth By Sleep on the way then I might as well post this new shiny new trailer.
Oh and by "intro" for NeoToonami I meant the intro for one of the shows that will be on NeoToonami, Gurren Lagann:
