Rock Band Is Finally HERE

After so many months after being released in the US, we're finally getting a PAL release of Rock Band that'll run on PAL XBox 360s. While there's still no news on an Australian release date, I've already gotten my copy from the UK. Why did I go for the XBox 360 version? Simply because I already had the guitars and the microphone for the game. By getting the XBox 360 version, I saved myself a couple of bucks, and my apartment from looking literally like a music shop.

Oh yeah, expect a nice long review that'll probably tell you to buy the bloody game anyway.

Gundam 00 Season 1 Completed

Well, I've finally finished watching Gundam 00 Season 1. In my opinion, the pacing was a little slower than Gundam SEED, but considering it's less monotonous and shorter, I'll take it. While they did end the season nicely, with most of the suits destroyed, Earth having united and mass producing GN-X units - the show doesn't hold off on reminding us that a second season is coming. We have Saji Crossroad seemingly being the poor fellow, having been stripped of everything valuable to him, might come into his own in the second season - hopefully doing a little more than standing around and watching people get killed around him.

They reveal that Celestial Being isn't dead, having at least two complete units - perhaps lacking a GN Drive or two - although they haven't revealed Setsuna's fate after the final battle of season one. But knowing Sunrise, nobody's dead until they've melted in a particle beam, gotten stabbed in some vital part. Getting abandoned in space with no apparent means of rescue usually means they're alive.

It's been made clear that some of our main opposition pilots are still alive (even then one that seemingly got erased in a particle beam) and some of our main character pilots are still alive.

As usual, main characters are always too powerful for their own good. 4 pitiful Gundams versus 30 GN-X units plus one Alvatore. And the only survivor of the entire conflict? One damaged GN-X. Highly amusing.

Week 10 Semester 1 2008

So, what am I up to now? Currently, I'm in the midst of multiple assignment deadlines. I've having fun finishing the assignments.

Anyway, I'm now catching up on Gundam 00. The only anime I'm following this season is Special A - and a lot of TV shows I'm following now are due to end next week. Rock Band is due next week as well. Seems like a hell of a coincidence. :D

Random Thought 11th May 2008

Look properly at the one who hasn't been seen entering but has always been there. Look again at the one who has been seen inside but hasn't been seen entering.

Look once more at the one who has been inside but doesn't have a map.

Look once more - and you will find the one who knows everything.
