Welcome!

The most accurate way to describe the site you've ventured uppon at this moment might be 'a blog'. But then again, the owner and maintainer of the site doesn't really like blogs. He doesn't read many blogs, he doesn't lurk the blogosphere, he doesn't want to be 'part of the community'. On the other hand, he likes to share with stuff. Be it knowledge, opinions, new stuff, old stuff, and generally that what he finds interesting.

Short news: In other news, I'm lazy to write articles. Someone should kick my ass.

Playing Shoot The Bullet - part one

Doujinshi, Gaming, Touhou

Now what is this about? The thing is, I was playing Shoot The Bullet today, and thought that since I am now "blogging" or whatever about lots of things, why not make an article (or a series of articles) about this. And so I'll try to do something like a guide to STB stages. The idea is taking one stage at a time and introduce all the scenes. But I have a little problem there - I have cleared all scenes only up to stage 4. From 5 onward, I have some missing, and last stage I have opened is stage 9 (where I have yet to clear at least one scene).

Figure review - Ryougi Shiki Garan no Dou

Next up in figures is my most precious one to date. I wanted this figure since it was first announced back in 2008, but I wasn't too much fond of online shopping at that time. But after I got the Saber and I made a paypal account, I decided that I should try and get one. This time, it's Ryougi Shiki from Kara no Kyoukai, the Garan no Dou version by Good Smile Company.

The summer anime season is closing in, and there is a show starting in July that I have on my radar as very promising. That's why I finally brought myself to reading it's source material - the Umineko no naku koro ni sound novel.

Figure review - BOME Saber

Figures

From now on, since I determined to post about stuff I like, I'll be also posting about my weird hobbies. One of them is collecting figures. I'll start off with the first larger scale figure I bought - Saber by BOME. It was back in 2008, I think october or so, in Wienna's Runch shop (the site is atm offline, wonder why). Their prices are bad, don't buy stuff there. But I was too overwhelmed by this one, I just wanted it. So I got it for too much, but doesn't matter.

Audio Technica ATH-AD700

Hardware

Since my cousin was in the US of A till this week, I ordered these nice headphones. Audio Technica is afaik not available in Europe, and I finally wanted something good for listening. From what I read in discussions and on the web, I got a good impression. Also the price was nice (100$). And I'm satisfied at the moment. The only thing that is a bit bothersome is the sound leakage as mentioned in the review, but it's still cool.

Katawa Shoujo Act 1 demo

Since 2 years ago, when this project started, I've been watching new material arise around it pretty enthusiastically. Not very closely though, but every time I noticed something about it I made a mental note that it is moving. And now, after all that time, ther development team (called bluntly Four Leaf studios) released the first demo of the game.
