It's phrases like those that really propel Jackie Chan in the spotlight as a real actor, not the schtick he tends to use from his old Hong Kong chop-socky flicks. I don't why, but the tone he used and the way he says those words had some kind of emotion that I've never really felt from his previous works. And Jaden Smith really shows his acting chops that he earned from his dad here.
Dare I say it -- I'm hyped for this movie!
Sailor Moon is an old series with a lengthy history. I remember reading about the side scrollin' beat-em-up back in the olden days of EGM, when EGM was still young and sophomoric. If you can imagine Final Fight with peachy high school girls shooting beams out of their hands, then you're already halfway there in the Sailor Moon universe.
Today though, I'm just gonna talk shop about Sailor Moon R.
Sailor Moon R has five buttons: punch, kick, jump, block, and special attack. We quickly learned that punching is top-tier in this game, since if you land one lucky punch, you can land a million of them -- until they die! As such, in order to avoid a fate worse than death, it's imperative that you have an excellent zoning game so you're always keeping the slap chop at bay.
A healthy plethora of kicks can help keep those hands of death away. Kicks are the perfect counter to punching, as they reach much further than punches do. You can't kick someone to death in this game though, so don't go thinking kicks are the be-all-end-all in this game (although that would be unbelievably funny).
Special attacks are pretty much relegated to fireballs and some kind of...uppercut move. We couldn't figure out how to do those "uppercut moves", so we just stuck to chucking plasma. Blocking and jumping were much more important however, since blocking was the only get-out-of-jail-free card against punches, and jumping can't be punished by a majority of the other attacks. Needless to say, extremely important.
So how do you win at this game?
For starters, don't get punched! Every character in the game can kill you with an endless barrage of punches in this game; don't take it lightly! The moment you get hit is the moment you lose -- which makes zoning an extremely important strategy. It's imperative that you don't get cornered, because when you get to the corner your movement options become extremely limited, increasing your chances of getting slap-chopped.
All in all, Sailor Moon R is extremely simple and extremely fun to play. It's easy to get into, and rewarding for people who catch on really quickly. It doesn't take much to win in this game, so even the smallest mistake can mean instant death.
Seriously, who knew Sailor Moon could be so deep?
Okay, let's continue with The Great Treasure things. One of it is.. my dreams.
I am sure, dreams, and ambitions are important in someone's life. I like the feeling when I work hard to get what I want. It is cool! And it can makes my life content.
And I think, dream is what makes you different than others. I am glad that I have serious dreams in my life. Being musician, and else... That's what makes me feel I am not like the girls who just concern about their look, their boyfriend.... maybe we can say, 'gedik' type?
Well, whatever your dreams are, it's something good you should keep with you. If your dreams are being superhero, helping people around this world, then, why not keep it? You have your own right to your ambitions, if others are laughing at it, let them be! They just don't know the power of your ambitions.
So, I am proud that I have dreams. I know clearly that my closest people will not allow me with my dreams, but I believe that it's not wrong, I have no doubt to keep dreaming about it. Whatever comes are just obstacles that I have to overcome.
I know that.. My dreams are the quality of myself that I know I can be proud with.
Now is turn for my first love! I know him when I was 16, same as him.
I know him through internet, specifically, on friendster.com. Why did I called him my Greatest Soldier? Cause we're role playing! Me, on that time, is Aerith, and he is Zack. Ops, since I've revealed his name, lets call him Zack. =P
Why does he is special for me? Lol, simply cause he is my first love! You know, it was so wonderful when you got someone called you 'my angel', don't it shows how significant you to someone? And you know that there's someone miss you, love you unconditional, and make you feel you're the princess you long to be. And, someone will very remember the memories both of you shared together....
When I transferred to my new school, I was so suffering cause I lived at hostel. And, his presence save me somehow. The moments I rushed to get internet at that school only to see his replies, were the moments that reviving me. Everytime after I read his replies, will make me smile for long time. And, I can see, how much he cares for me.
We're already breaking up, more than 1 year ago. Allow me to keep the reason with me. But, until now, I still miss him. I think same goes to him. We're still love each other. To know that I still miss him, makes me feel very happy. Cause I think it is the same thing that any good lovers will do, missing the beloved though they are gone.
Nowadays, I used to imagine if there's any other world than this world, where we can set our personality and appearance before we enter the world, and we can decide how long we can stay in that world. I would like both of us to get there, and continue on with our love story, until we're dead.
Hahah, but it's only my other daydreaming!
Yea, everybody loves their friends.
I love my friends, very. Though part of them always make me irritates, and uneasy.. But I know, if once, they're disappear, my life would be not the same.
My eternity BFF is FourChasery - Yurika Figment, Airie Lighting, and Archer Von Weller. Okay, this is not their real name. But I like to introduce them that way.
The first one I met was Archer, when both of us were 13 years old. The next year, I met Yurika and Airie. Their presence make my life during 13 to 15 was the best moments. We're in the same school, and during my 16, I was transferred, and made one of them changed into emo freak. And the moment I knew them was the beginning of me had my dreams.
They always support me and my dreams. They take me as I am. I think we used to be the weird gang when we're still in the same school, and that what makes me think that we're so special. We are ourselves, and for the first time, I am proud of myself. I mean, I can accept myself, the way I am. And we did many things together. They are my needed.
Other than them are Xiro and Izz. They never fail to be with me everytime I need them. They always make me feel like I am what I dream. Izz is my childhood friends. He always make me first, and he always protect me. And as for Xiro, I know her when we're both were 16. Can be said that she is too nice, always help me when I need it, and always be there everytime I hope her to be.
Then, my foreign friend, Joey. He is Mauritius guy. I can say that he is rare, and kinda frustrated with his life, and people around him. But he is acting like a brother in my life, never fail to let me see the reality of the world, and always makes me comfort with his simple words.
Of course, I love my other friends too, very much. Every of my friends is important in my life. But they are the closest.
- Yurika Figment ~ she is strict to her view and her personality
- Airie Lighting ~ her love towards her friends make her special
- Archer Von Weller ~ she can be said a loner, but she is very caring friend
- Xiro ~ she always be there when I need her
- Izz ~ he makes my childhood life as memorable
- Joey ~ he always make me feel special with his simple words
Maybe I can conclude... I have 6 BFFs? Yay!!
Man, so many good trailers came out this week! First there was the Fate / Stay Night trailer of all things bad ass. Then there was the Haruhi trailer of surprise and amazement. Both are incredibly hype and worth checking out! 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for movies!
Speaking of movies, I still haven't seen anything for Trigun. There's only two weeks left in the month -- after that, it's probably safe to assume it's not coming out until 2010 (or later, at this rate). What the hell happened to that movie? I was so pumped to watch it!
I'm expecting video game news to slow down, now that Final Fantasy XIII is out in Japan. I bet a lot of Japanese gamers and bloggers are going to retreat into their domains, playing the hell out of that game. Until then, hopefully next week will continue being as good as this week was in news!
Michael Moore visits a maid cafe in Akihabara
As awesome as the pretext sounds, it was something of a let down. I wonder if Mr. Moore was a little concerned footage of him going out to a maid cafe might be taken in the wrong context and used against him -- he seemed a bit nervous in there.

FF13にはちゃんとパンチラあります 安心してご購入ください : はちま起稿
One brave gamer bites the bullet and provides...panty shots...for the rest of us non-Final Fantasy XIII owners. Oh dear...
Hehe, since I've start The Great Treasure things, allow me to introduce all my treasures that makes my life content. (It may be a very speedy posts, sorry for that.)
One of it, of course... my family. Yea, it is typical to hear someone said,"I love my family!". But, I really mean it.
I have very protective father that would worried about his children much, even for a little things. Yea, maybe sometimes he is such a blabbering, but it makes our world full of voices, not so empty. He's always want to make his children happy, and it can be seen clearly for those who not heart blinded. He also always try to make his children comfort with life, no matter how hard to make it. And, when he was a young man, he had the look. My mom was attracted by his princely look, haha! Of course, he looks like an ordinary uncle now, that we always see anywhere, but it's normal for someone hardworking like him.
I have very angelic mother that very patient to everything. She never showed her hardness, her anger, hiding her tears... She never fails to comfort anyone in fear, or sadness. It's true! She just has to hug, and the unpleasant feeling will gone, it'll replaced by such a calming moments. She does not need to any perfumes, she is 'perfume' herself. And you know what, you might not believe it, but my mother is beautiful woman, physically! She has healthy, bright skin, black hair, and cheeky lips. Of course, she is ageing, but hey, despite of that ageing part, nobody could resist her beauty!
I have 7 sisters. Hahah, is it too much? Yea, I have 10 siblings including me, we are 8 females and only 2 males. Let me introduce you my sisters. The first one is 30, already married, is about to has her first child when I wrote this entry. The second one is 27, not yet married, unknown if she's available or not(hehe). The third is around 25 or 26, (sorryyy) already married, got her own child, now in egypt for further studies. The fourth is 23, just getting married, the fifth is 22, still study in chemistry field at university, then me, then my younger sister, 15 years old, the last one is just 11 years old.
And here is my brothers. The first one is 29, already married and has 3 children + 1 is in approval(hehe) and next is 20, still study.
What I love most about my sibling is, our bonds. It is too strong, until it can never be cut in any ways. We are very concern to each other, and the time of our gathering is the best, joyful moments. We're teasing each other, that's what makes everything good. I can't say that they are the one who fully understand me, sometimes I do irritates with them ( hey, it's normal to every siblings, right) but they make me always feel granted with my life.
I got, for now... 1 mother, 1 father, 2 brothers, 7 sisters, 2 brother-in-laws, 1 sister-in-law, 3 nephews, 2 nieces, 2 going to be my nephew/nieces...
Wow!! 21 beloveds??
You might want to turn off the comments though, they're pretty annoying. I didn't think Japanese comments could be as vile as American ones (haters are universal, I suppose).
Not to spoil anyone either but, there's reports coming all over the place about how linear Final Fantasy XIII is shaping out to be, although, it's still too early (I don't believe anyone's beaten the game yet at this point).
You know what's funny though? Ryougi Shiki's seiyuu Maaya Sakamoto does the voice of Lightning, the main heroine. They act almost identically! I instantly recognized it right when she opened her mouth. I'm such a nerd...
