Rise of a Ninja Vs Ultimate Ninja Storm

Ok before I start this post, I would like to say I do not like my 360 more than my PS3 or my PS3 more than my 360, I think they are both great systems and they both have their share of problems. I mean, just because I have to pay for Xbox Live doesn't mean I don't think Xbox Live is awesome, and just because my PS3 takes sometimes (literally) hours to find a match when playing online doesn't mean I still don't play my PS3 online. So, please do not think I am a fanboy for either side, just because I think one of these games is way better then the other one doesn't mean I like that system more, ok now that I said that I hope to get alot less hate mail.

Alright, this post is going to sort of be my opinion on which game is better, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm (for the PS3) or Naruto: Rise of a Ninja (for the Xbox 360). First of all, Storm does have some really fancy graphics, but in my opinion I really don't like them, they look to... real... well... a better way to explain it would be like this, when Naruto's jaw moves around like he is in a mix of the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure and an old Godzilla movie, I sort of get a little creeped out. I would like next generation anime game graphics to look like Dragon Ball Raging Blast since those kind of graphics actually look like the anime, on Storm they just kind of look like they tried waaaaay to hard and totally went overboard with it. The graphics in Rise of a Ninja aren't exactly amazing, they just seem like the standard for a next generation anime game, so it doesn't really knock the game down a peg, but the graphics aren't so beautiful that you would buy the game to just look at it. In my opinion I think the Storm development team just took the free roaming story mode from Rise of a Ninja and then tweaked it to make it less "free", a bit less fun, forced you to do side missions in order to continue the story, then added their own fighting system. Oh, and let's talk about the fighting, you see, in regular Ultimate Ninja games, the fighting is the highlight of the game, but in Storm all you do is press the attack button over and over again and you will win every fight, and then once your friends learn this, the whole fight is pretty much decided by whoever hits the other person first. I practically proved this when my friend gave his 3 or 4 year old brother the controller and he beat me with a perfect 10 times in a row even though he had no idea how to play. In Rise of a Ninja the fighting system isn't really something to brag about, it's better than Storm's and it is pretty fun with friends but there is always something wrong with the substitution jutsu whenever I am playing, I know I pressed the button at the right second but sometimes it just doesn't want to let me do substitution. Oh and the difficulty curve of Rise of a Ninja, jeez, I remember one of the very first enemies in the game being able to practically get a perfect on me, then when I use a jutsu on him he blocks the whole damn thing (in Rise of a Ninja, a Jutsu will only do damage if you do a series of quick time events, and if your enemy presses the button before you, then he dodges), and I'm not talking about a boss or something, this was a straight up common enemy I ran into on either my first or second mission after becoming a Genin. Ok, so let's say some nice things about Storm, well, first of all they did a great job testing for glitches, I didn't find a single one, but in Rise of a Ninja... ugh... I run into glitches all the time, several of which freeze my game. Also, in Storm, to perform a jutsu you have to actually hit your enemy, which kind of makes sense, but in Rise of a Ninja you do the opposite of charging at your opponent and waiting until he has a second of weakness, you see in Rise of a Ninja you run into a corner press the button combination and hope your opponent doesn't hit you with a kunai. Anyway, overall, I say go with Rise of a Ninja since adventuring around Konoha doesn't get boring until hours of gameplay, but in Storm it gets pretty boring quickly, let's hope that Storm 2 is going to be better than the first, because so far it looks pretty badass.

Xbox 360 Elite Bundle (ODST & Forza 3) First Impressions

Ok to start off, this first impressions post will not include my thoughts on the ODST campaign mode, or anything on the Campain disk since I kind of have no plans to play it anytime soon. Once I get my gold membership I will play alot more of the mythic disk, but for now I will just play forge on it. Oh right, for those of you who have no idea what the mythic disk is, it's basically the multiplayer of Halo 3 with all of the maps (including my favorite, Sand Box). Anyway, since Costco and Sam's Club no longer carry systems besides the freakin DSi, I got mine at Best Buy, and yes I know Gamestop was giving out a $50 gift card for buying this bundle, but thanks to our Best Buy Rewards card, we got a $50 gift card for Best Buy when we bought the bundle, so we would have gotten the gift card either way. Oh, and since I won't be talking much about ODST, let me just try Forza out for like 5 minutes... hold up I'll be right back... Well, my first complaint would be that you can't skip the announcer while he goes on and on and on about how this game is like the most amazingly high tech thing in the world... The loading took quite a while, then I actually race and... meh, it was pretty standard, nothing to make it stick out, then I tried out the rewind feature which seemed pretty cool, but then after I rewind a bit, I accidentally pressed the "B" button and then I was just... somewhere else in the race track so I decided to resume from there, but that resulted in me crashing into a wall, falling into last place, and staying there swirling in a circle for about a full minute... Yup, I'm done with this game. Oh, and if it helps the game at all, then I guess the music was pretty good... and if you like Forza 3 then don't even take my opinion seriously since racing games are not exactly my cup of tea, and the only racing series I like to play is burnout, and that's only because of the exploding and crashing mechanics. Anyway, every Xbox 360 also comes with Hexic HD, a fun little puzzle game that is so addicting it made me forget how long I had been playing it. I almost forgot to mention the Xbox avatars, since I could make mine look tall, skinny, tan, and insomnic just like me, I think the avatars are a thumbs up. I did have some issues making my account, but I heard that was because of Xbox Live and not MY Xbox, so I just made an account online at Xbox.com. Anyway, I am really happy with my bundle, especially since it came with a headset for when I can finally afford a Gold membership, and thanks to the fact that I used to borrow my brother's Xbox, I already had games like Grand Theft Auto IV, Devil May Cry 4, and Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, but I also got Naruto: The Broken Bond at my local Gamestop, however I am saving that for when I beat Rise of a Ninja. Anyway, thanks to this, now I can review Xbox 360 games, original Xbox games, and Xbox Arcade games, so look forward to those reviews in the future.

This Week in Weekly Jump

Ok, I finally got an Xbox 360 so I seriously have no idea how I pried myself off of it to do this post so yeah... I am kinda in a hurry... again...

Naruto Chapter 488

Current Battle: None

- Oh, so they have TVs and can communicate with each other using them, but they had to send an eagle to tell the Leaf Village that their Kazekage died.

- Ok, well they are used by the Daimyo's... I seriously thought that Kages were the highest power... guess not... so they are only for super important communication with the highest of the high rank, and even then they tell them to hurry up since it takes so much energy.

- So now the ninja alliance has been established...

- Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi regroup back with the others, who are still asleep.

- Most of these pages are just all of the Kages learning about the ninja alliance...

- Oh, God... Karin starts going off about Naruto's chakras... I swear if Naruto becomes her new love interest since Sasuke threw her away, I will seriously dislike her character even more, I mean I sort of saw it coming so I hope it won't be so, since I like it when I am 100% sure that something will happen in the story then it takes a more interesting twist, like it always would in Yu Yu Hakusho, I sort of want to feel like I won't know what is going to happen next.

- Kakashi is probably gonna be the new Hokage... that's pretty sweet...

- But, Tsunade might be dead...

- They discuss their plans to fight Sasuke... Ten-Ten actually spoke for 1 sentence... Naruto wants to fight Sasuke on his own...

- Oh, since I saw Shizune crying I assumed Tsunade was dead, but luckily the chapter ends as we see Tsunade finally making a recovery and waking up.

- No wait, the chapter REALLY ends as we see Sasuke has just gotten Itachi's eyes implanted to replace his own.

Bleach Chapter 397

Current Battle: Ichigo Vs Aizen

- Ichigo is freaking out since Aizen said every battle he has fought has played into his hands.

- Oh wow, it's one thing to know about all of Ichigo's battles, but Aizen practically set them all up, the first hollow, the Menos Grande, ect.

- This obviously pissed Ichigo off, I think that in my opinion he just said all of that to get Ichigo mad and it might not even be the truth.

- Aizen pokes a hole in every argument Ichigo tries to throw at him, making me believe that MAYBE he isn't lying.

- Aizen also claims he knew about Ichigo since he was born.

- Right before Aizen says how he knew about Ichigo so long ago... Isshin (Ichigo's dad) finally arrives to kick his @$$!!! Seriously, I have been waiting so long for that! Anyway, that is where the chapter ends.

Gaming Otaku Recommends: Anime Edition

I pull these out of my hat when sort of in a hurry (expect these to usually be on Tuesdays since I write them on Mondays) or when I am seriously out of ideas, today is both. So I will just talk about a few anime I seriously recomend to those who haven't seen them yet.

D. Gray-man:
I feel like I have yet to express the awesomeness of this series on my blog since I do not know if I have really talked about it very much. Ok, so it's that genre that you just tell someone "Bleach" and they know exactly what you mean, but when they put interesting twists to the formula, it actually becomes alot better then fanboys on forums lead it to be. Anime that have known to do this include, Nora (well, right now it's only a manga but whatever), Buso Renkin (at least from what I have heard), and also the next anime on the list. This doesn't differ THAT much from Bleach since we have an orginazation of people with special weapons who defeat corrupted human souls manifested into demons, but it's still interesting and to me doesn't really feel like it was a concept "stolen" from Bleach, it just feels like the creator had his own vision and not the distorted vision of somebody else. I really like the villains in the series, and not only that, but each exorsist's unique powers are all a treat in my book. Anyway, this series is very entertaining and also comes with (in my opinion) some of the coolest commentaries I have seen in a while, however there are apperantly no commentaries in season 2... Oh, and the DVDs can be quite pricy, $45 for 13 episodes is pretty steep, so I wait til they go on sale, even if it's only by $10 I still spring for it, of course that is Rightstuf price, so add shipping cost as well, I am pretty sure the DVDs sell for alot more than that at your local Best Buy so Rightstuf is definatly your best bet.

Soul Eater:
Yeah, like I said this is the whole Bleach formula, but with creative twists, and in my opinion it steers further from the Bleach formula than D. Gray-man. Don't get me wrong, I love both series but Soul Eater just blew me away, I did get a recommendation from a friend to get it, but damn, I wasn't expecting it to be this good. Like I said, orginazation of people who hunt corrupted souls, but this time it's a school, and instead of each person having unique powers, there are those who can turn into unique weapons and then those who can use them. You have weapons from guns, to sythes, to even one character who can turn into several weapons. I also like the choices for the music in the series, as well as the voice actors, except for one character whose voice doesn't fit the character at all but you get used to it eventually (you know the one), and like I always say, the more you bitch about somthing, the more you notice it, that's why I got used to that one bad voice actor choice. If you know what character I am talking about then you probably agree that he should have been played by Maile Flanagan, the voice actress who played Naruto. Anyway, enough about voice acting, this anime is seriously awesome and you can get it at Rightstuf for the same price as the D. Gray-man DVDs, $45 for 13 episodes. Oh and sorry if this post seemed short but I am quite busy today.

This Week in Weekly Jump

Very busy, Naruto and Bleach summarry... let's just get started....

Naruto Chapter 487

Current Fight: Naruto Vs Sasuke

- Ok so we left off as Naruto said that both him and Sasuke would die in their battle.

- Kakashi tries to use his Mongekyo Sharingan on Madara but for some reason it doesn't work, maybe it's just because he's that awesome...

- Sasuke warps away to safety, and I don't know if it's relevent or not, but he left Karin behind.

- Since Sasuke overused the Susano'o, he demands that Madara transplants Itachi's eyes with his.

- Naruto collapses since the kunai that Sasuke used to cut Naruto's cheeck was the poisened kunai that Sakura was going to use on Sasuke.

- Oh, so the Karin thing was relevent, since Kakashi decides to take Karin back to Konoha with them.

- Then we cut to the Hidden Cloud Village where Killer Bee is back home (yes, I have decided that I will call him Killer Bee instead of Kirabi, like several people have told me is the correct way to spell/say it) and he has Samehada with him.

- Oh man, apparently Samehada having a liking to Killer Bee was all part of the Akatsuki's plan, aparently Zetsu (his white half anyway) can make duplicates of people, but they aren't very good for fighting, so Killer Bee only beat Kisame's watered down copy (no pun intended) and that the real Kisame is infused with Samehada.

- The chapter ends as some ninjas from the Hidden Waterfall Village are attacked by a SNAKE themed jutsu...

- Ok fine the ending wasn't a cliff hanger in the chapter so I'll tell you who it was... Ok, it starts with a "K" and ends with "abuto"...

Bleach Chapter 396

Current Fight: Ichigo Vs Aizen

- We left off as Yamamoto used a very high level Kido and pretty much blew Aizen away.

- Then Ichigo in his hollowfied state came out of nowhere and...

- Ichigo uses a Getsuga Tensho so strong it cut an effin building in half.

- I think he actually got Aizen with it, it better not just be another illusion or something.

- Aizen gets really arrogent again, thinking he has this whole battle in the bag, man he does that alot, and you would think he learned his lesson by now...

- Aizen regenerates somehow but says it isn't high speed regeneration...

- Aizen was able to regenerate because he is fused with the Hogyoku.

- Aizen pretty much knows all of Ichigo's history as a soul reaper since he got his powers, which shouldn't be surprising since he should have access to that info as a captain...

- The chapter ends as Aizen says Ichigo has simply been playing into his hands.

Pokemon: Soul Silver Version First Impressions

Ok, so recently (in the past few months or so) I picked up Pearl and got back into Pokemon games so naturally I had to get Soul Silver and so far I am loving it. I really like the Pokewalker, a little step counter that can level up your Pokemon and find items as well as other Pokemon. Oh, but I do have one complaint about the Pokewalker... and that is... well... my one complaint was that I leveled up my Cyndaquill to level 10 in my Pokewalker, meaning that it never learned ember, that's right, if your Pokemon levels up in the Pokewalker then it can't learn moves, I wonder what the hell made them thing that it was a good idea to do that... But, besides that, I really can't think of anything bad about this game. The new feature to have your Pokemon follow you was a really awesome idea, I just wish they didn't resize their sprites so much, like I imagine my Whalord is going to look like the size of a Bidoof, when obviously it should be size of a freakin WHALE! But, that's not really a negative in my opinion. Oh, and another awesome positive, the game has 16 Gyms instead of just 8, you see once you beat the elite 4, you get to go to a completely new region. And for those of you (all 2 of you...) who are wondering what I named my rival, I named him the same thing I named him when I replayed Blue version, Biatch. But, naming him Biatch was funnier in Blue version because it sounded like the professer was calling his grandson a Biatch. Anyway, I do not know what else to say, oh, one thing that really pissed me off was that it just expected me to be talking to everyone after beating the first gym leader because without the game telling saying where, it somehow just expects you to sort of find that NPC on the outskirts of town that gives you Rock Smash... You don't need it to get to the next town, but it just pissed me off when I asked my friends where to get it and they said "You didn't talk to the fat guy near the Sudowoodo?" and I just said... "I was supposed to talk to that guy?"so now I have to go back. But really besides those little tiny problems this game is just pure awesome.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 First Impressions

Wow, I seriously didn't do this already? Ok then, well as I am sure none of you know, the difference between a "short review" and a "first impressions" post is that a short review is longer. That being said, this probably won't be very long, especially since sometimes I become at a loss of words sometimes when it comes to shooters. Ok so, when I first saw all of the trailers for this game, I realized something, they weren't hilarious like the trailers for the first game, so I thought this game wasn't going to be funny, but I still decided to buy the game since it looked awesome. Thankfully, I was wrong about the not funny thing, since so far the game is really funny so far. I haven't gotten a chance to play Squad Rush Mode in Multiplayer since I have a PS3 and the store for Bad Company 2 doesn't work, basically meaning my pre-order was useless. That aside, from what I played in the demo, Multiplayer is pretty fun. I started story on easy for some reason, and I realised easy was... well... easy, so I went to my campaign and I could actually switch the freakin difficulty, I had to restart the whole chapter, but that was not really a big problem for me, I was just happy to be playing on normal. Oh yeah, and speaking of cool convenient things you can do in this game, you can PAUSE CUTSCENES! Yes! Finally another game that you can pause cutscenes, a trait that was my favorite in... Kingdom Hearts 2 I believe, but sadly in Bad Company 2 you can't skip cutscenes (or at least as far as I know...), but that is forgiven because of being able to pause cutscenes. The begining of the game was sort of the low point, but not that much, I was just in the mood for some comic relief and whatnot, but in the begining chapter your (spoilers start here) playing as like professionals, and not to mention the first gun you pick up has a recoil that practically sends your crosshair flying up into the clouds (spoilers end here), however it wasn't that bad, and I'm pretty sure you only play as them in the begining. I also like the campaign trophies/acheivements, I'm not sure why, well maybe because they are just kind of hilariously titled, I couldn't help but laugh when I got the first one after beating chapter 1, if you get the game you'll know why, or maybe it isn't that funny and it's just me, I don't know. Either way, I seriously recomend this game, but my friend shared a very important tip for multiplayer when we were talking about the game today, and it was "never use smoke grenades", he said the reason for it was because you can pretty much see through the smoke pretty easily and if you throw one, your basically tell your enemies "hey, I'm right here in this general direction" and they will either throw a grenade and you'll die, or they'll noobtube you, and you'll die. I remember watching a video on his Xbox, where they were giving tips and they were saying the smoke bombs were awesome, and we pretty much proved him wrong in every way. Anyway, this game is great, I totally recommend it, and alot of people even say it is better than Modern Warfare 2...

This Week in Weekly Jump

Wow, almost two of these in a row... Just one post in the middle of this week... Well, anyway like always, I am in a rush today, and also in quite the large amount of pain...

Naruto Chapter 486

Current Battle: Naruto Vs Sasuke

- So we left off on the clash, with both Naruto and Sasuke flying in different directions with Kakashi catching Naruto and Zetsu catching Sasuke.

- Tobi shows up and tells Sasuke to leave so he can recover.

- Zetsu offers to capture Naruto but Tobi tells him to stand back and let Sasuke handle him later since the Kyubi is to powerful.

- There was a flashback to a quote from the battle at the Valley of the End, which I seriously do not remember.

- Oh right, the quote was that first class ninjas can practically read the mind of his opponent with one clash, that was not the direct quote since I am pretty damn sure the translation I am reading is quite inaccurate since it's using awful grammar and is wording everything weird.

- Naruto was able to read Sasuke's mind (or as they word it his "heart", but I don't think the organ that pumps blood is capable of handling complex human emotions and is able to make somebody think a certain way or do a certain thing... Pretty sure that's the Brain's job... but hey, whatever metaphor floats your boat...) and as a result of that, he reveals his "third decision".

- He basically decides that both of them will die in the battle... which is something that I said was going to happen years ago, I predicted that back when the Bridge of Heaven and Earth arc was new, I just wish I had bet money on it...

- Of course Sasuke finds that idea stupid...

- Naruto thinks he can still change Sasuke the way Iruka changed him.

- The chapter ends as Kakashi tries to get Naruto to not fight Sasuke (again...) but Naruto decides he must be the one to fight Sasuke.

Bleach Chapter 395

Current Battle: Yamamoto Vs Aizen

- Ok so, the chapter begins as Yamamoto pretty much rips Wonderweiss to shreds with one PAWNCH! Oh, sorry I meant punch...

- Like everything else that is thrown at him, when Yamamoto tells Aizen that modifying Wonderweiss was wrong, he turns it around on Yamamoto and says he is the cruel one for killing him...

- Oh wow... Aizen says Yamamoto taking his words lightly will be his downfall because he said that the flames of his Zanpakutou were SEALED, meaning they didn't just magically disappear, they were sealed away... inside Wonderweiss.

- So all of the power of his Zanpakutou is basically blown up all at once, causing like a Soul Reaper equivalent of a Nuke... Ok, maybe not THAT strong...

- Or... wait... Yeah... I think it is...

- Yamamoto survived the explosion, but just barely, and most of Karakura town has pretty much been blown to ashes.

- So Aizen goes down to finish him off... and just before he does... Yamamoto uses an extremely powerful kido on him.

- The chapter ends as Aizen attempts to escape the flames and finds that Ichigo is about to strike with his hollow mask activated.

Gaming Otaku Recommends: Video Edition

I do these when I am seriously busy and I really don't feel like posting... I'm kinda down... But, whatever, the show must go on they say... sadly nobody is watching... Oh yeah, some of these videos may not be suitable for children... and all that stuff...

Ok, video number 1, Little Kuriboh's newest video, it's basically his own adaptation of a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction:


Video number 2, is my favorite in the "With Lyrics" series:


The final video is the coolest way to kill anyone is Super Smash Bros. Melee, except in this video he does it against GIGA BOWSER

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

This Week in Weekly Jump

Well, my field trip sure was fun, but today I am sore, tired, and I have an ingrown toenail to remove... And despite all of that I am STILL going to post today... Aren't I a trooper?

Naruto Chapter 485

Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Naruto

- Oh yeah! Finally, a REAL battle between Naruto and Sasuke in Shippuden, or at least I really hope so.

- Naruto says "I understand what your doing" because he heard the truth about Itachi... and without turning the page I bet Sasuke will say something like "You will never understand!"

- Haha! He didn't snap at him but he still said Naruto didn't understand, yeah! totally called it!

- No wait, he still snaps at him! Wow, I seriously called it.

- Sasuke goes one with his "purifying the world" crap that I already heard way too much of in Death Note.

- Kakashi tells Naruto to step back... GREAT! Know we don't get the fight...

- Naruto disregards him and charges at Sasuke with his Rasengan.

- A totally bitchin Chidori and Rasengan clash obviously happens.

- Wow, this speech Naruto is saying about how he could have strayed down the path of revenge but he didn't... somehow... doesn't feel cliche... I like... I like it... wow.

- Sasuke tells him he will never change his ways, and that Naruto only has the choice to kill him or be killed, and the chapter ends as Naruto thinks of a third choice...

Bleach chapter 394

Current Battle: Yamamoto Vs Aizen

- So, as we left off, Wonderweiss's Ressurection is able to stop Yamamoto's Zanpakutou, but at the cost of his ability to speech, his memories, ect.

- Yamamoto still doesn't seem the least bit phased at all by this, which leads me to believe that maybe he has an ace in the hole.

- And that ace in the hole is the fact that he is a badass and broke Wonderweiss's ribcage with his bare effin fist.

- Wonderweiss (of course) wasn't killed so easily and Yamamoto comes back to kick his arse.

- Well, fight scenes are usually worthless to describe so it makes these summaries short...

- But to summarize the battle, Wonderweiss has these weird tentacle powers and Yamamoto, obviously didn't wanna get killed by tentacles, ripped em' all of em'.

- Then with Wonderweiss defenceless he comes in for the kill...

- And, the chapter ends, so let's hope he got him.

Megaman 10 First Impression (short review sorta...)

Yeah, this is gonna be a "First Impression" kinda thing but also kinda like a short review without playing the game that much, I did however try all of the robot's stages in the time I played. So, let me start with the negatives, or really the one negative everyone is mad about, the music... Alright I admit the boss music could have definatly been better, but the music for the levels were pretty good to me, and since I only tried each stage once or twice, the only boss I got to was Sheep Man, and I was expecting the music to have like a... I don't know... electic feel to it or something, but it just sorta sounded like generic boss music that could have been used for any other boss. Oh right, there was also that other main complaint most people had... easy mode, and I have actually not yet played on easy mode since I want to feel like I actually EARNED the credits if I were to beat the game, not have the credits served to me on a silver platter with dressing on the side and cheese sprinkled on it. Those two things aside, I really liked this game but I thought it wasn't as good as Megaman 9, but it was nowhere near as bad as Megaman 7. One thing that was a huge surprise for me was, well, from previous Megaman games experience I thought Commando Man's stage was going to be really annoying and super hard, and that Strike Man's stage was going to be a total cakewalk... but I was wrong... ohhhh, I was wrong... Strike Man's stage was effin hard, and Commando Man's stage was pretty easy, I don't count this as a bad thing, I actaully saw this as a funny thing, like Capcom made me think they were going to do the same formula and then they through a curve ball (no Strike Man pun intended...). Anyway, in conclusion it was totally worth my $10 so far, I thought it was a bit easier than Megaman 9... but I hear those Wily stages are way harder, so that sorta makes up for it.

News Update!

Ok, so news updates always revolve around NeoToonami and Dothackers and that is what today's update will be about... oh and sorry if it seems a bit short, I have to watch a movie and write an essay for school...

Ok, so there was a NeoToonami update but it was just talking about Robot Unicorn Attack, a new flash game on Adultswim.com, and since EVERYONE is talking about I might as well mention it. Well, I actually haven't played it, believe it or not, but I did watch a friend play it and for most of the 10 or 15 minutes he was playing and I was watching, it was just pretty much uncrontrollable laughter because it was so awesome and at the same time... just... weird... and memeish. But obviously that was a good thing, the music was obviously stuck in my head for quite some time, but I got it out thanks to BrentalFloss and his "with lyrics" series. To see what the good old people at NeoToonami have to say about Robot Unicorn Attack click on: this link.

And now for the two dothackers updates, and yes, I said two, it's been a while since I did one of these so dothackers has actually had two updates. First off, is the update that drew my attention, the insanely popular Japanese gaming magazine, Weekly Famitsu, who are known for their incredibly strict reviews, with only about 13 perfect scores ever given out, has reviewed .hack//link. Needless to say, when only a handfull of perfect scores are handed out after all of these years, a 32/40 is pretty damn good, and dothackers says it "is about on par with all of the other .hack game ratings they've dished out in the past" so I am honestly happy with the score it got. And the second new update or post or whatever on dothackers is about a new .hack related event that just got announced... And to my surprise it is actually a "live music event of past and current composers consisting of the entire .hack series!" to quote dothackers direcly, and it seriously makes me wish I lived in Japan, there will be all kinds of star studded guests and not to mention several of the voice actors from .hack game and anime series, *sigh* just mentioning this makes me REALLY wish I lived in Japan... Anyway, for both of those full posts or articles or whatever just head over to dothackers.net.

Well, like I said, sorry this post was so short, I had a great idea for a another list, but I forgot where I put my idea notepad... So hopefully I will find it or come up with a better list idea for my next post, but sorry, no promises. Oh and I just realized that my previous Weekly Jump post was my 100th post... sorry it couldn't be something special like I wanted it to be, but I'll make it up to you with either my 150th post or perhaps my 200th post... If I ever actually make it that far without giving up because I have to followers at all...
