Back from vacation...

Sorry I haven't posted any updates here recently, I was off on vacation to Canada for the better part of a week and then got busy when I got back with work and wedding preparations.

Give me a couple of more days and I will have some new content up and rolling for the site!

Talk you you soon

We shall never forget....

On September 11th 2001 the United States was attacked in one of the most cowardly acts of violence possible, when four planes were hijacked, two destroying the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, one hitting the Pentagon, and a fourth crashing in the fields of Pennsylvania after the courageous acts of gallantry of the passengers onboard, preventing the final plane from reaching its intended target.

On that day nearly 3000 Americans and some foreigners lost their lives in the most brazen act of hatred this country has ever seen.

I remember it like it was yesterday, I was startled awake when a dear friend called and vomited information about what was going on, that we were "Under Attack" I went and turned on the TV to see the first footage of the towers being hit, less then an hour later they had both collapsed, the true magnitude of what was happening finally sank in, I felt sadness, anger, unmitigated rage at what had happened, I wanted revenge, to make any and all involved pay for these acts of wonton cowardice of attacking civilians.

Now, ten years later, Bin Laden, the cold mastermind of the attacks is dead, but the War on Terror rages on, with no end in sight, we must never forget the day the towers fell, and those who continue to sacrifice for our freedom.

Crunchyroll: As if I didn't have enough to do already!

Well I have obviously lost my mind, if I didn't have enough on my plate already LOL!

For years I have taken the traditional route to getting my Anime fix, from things such as DVD, On Demand, and *gulp* even VHS back in the day. I never was a big one on the whole torrent thing, I felt that it did more harm than good to the industry, but that also meant that it was hard for me to review anything close to current material for the blog.

As of tonight that all changes, my wonderful Fiancee suggested that I go ahead and get a Crunchyroll subscription so I could watch more current content, and be able to provide my readers [all 5 of you LOL] with more up to date reviews.

So I am going to start embarking on this project over the weekend, I will also be reviewing the iPad app from Crunchyroll and see how it changes my day to day watching and enjoying of Anime.

See you soon!

Gundam Garage: Two SD Gundams a Project Log

Well I promised eventualy to get this series going, it just took a lot longer than I thought it would! For the last number of years I have been picking up the odd Gundam kit here and there, never bought anything over a HGUC [High Grade Universal Century] though, the MG [Master Grades] scare the heck out of me and I would like to be able to use my airbrush better before attempting one.

But as the above picture shows, I have always had an affinity for the SD [Super Deformed] Gundam kits, both their fantasy ones, and their canon bretheren, so jump past the cut so see what I am going to be working on over the next few weeks.

SPECIAL REVIEW: Gashapon Shop

 

Most of the time on here I stick to traditional Anime and Manga, but sometimes I go a little off the reservation, todays review is one of those times. Step on past the cut for my review of a small web comic that can be best described as a breath of fresh air.
