Japan 2010, Day 1

So continuing off of the "Long day before Japan", I'm planning to put up a post for each day of my trip in Japan, with pictures even! Of course I can't reasonably fit all the pictures into a good narrative, so to see them all you're going to have to head to Picasa Web Albums to see all the pictures I wanted to post. Well, with that out of the way, let's begin!

Friday, March 12, 2010

So it turns out I was able to sleep for a maybe an hour the night before the flight, so I got a little in. Anyway, safely made it to the airport by taxi, and made it onto my flight without a problem. The flight to Dallas/Forth Worth International (DFW) was uneventful; I'm pretty sure I slept for most of the way. I picked up a banana and a hot dog from a convenience store (hereafter called "conbini") there, and then boarded my flight to Japan.

The plane I took from DFW to Japan, a Boeing 777.

For once I decided to have some Dramamine to help me with staying nausea free on the flight, and it worked out, though mainly by knocking me out for half the flight. So I went across the International Date Line asleep, and woke up finding myself in the next day.

Arcade Stick Artwork

After modding my Mad Catz Fightstick TE recently with the Toodles MC Cthulhu and Imp v2, I started thinking about maybe replacing the artwork on it with custom artwork as well. I put together a quick design with gimp...well, it would have been quick if I could use gimp properly.   Anyway, what do you guys think? Feel free to leave impressions and suggestions in the comments.

11eyes and New Anime

So I just finished watching 11eyes, and overall, it wasn't really that good. I'm still thinking about playing the game though, seeing as how it looks quite different from the anime, I'm going to guess that it is in fact different, and hopefully interesting and engaging. I'm probably going to pick up the Xbox 360 version. I've also watched the first episodes of a few shows this season now, being Ladies verses Butlers, Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu, and Dance in the Vampire Bund. Ladies verses Butlers so far is most definitely a fanservicey show, and Flameheart's incredibly huge drill hair vaguely bothered me initially just by the sheer size. I somewhat got used to it as I watched the episode, but for a short while I was contemplating how much hair you would need to be able to pull off that kind of hair. Nevertheless, it seems like it might be fun to watch, so I'll be keeping up with it for the time being. I like Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu for the fact that it...

THE IDOLM@STER2 PS3 Unboxing

Image
So I got THE IDOLM@STER2 First-run Limited Production Edition today for PS3! I was so excited! I would have gotten it the day before yesterday, but I just didn't get home early enough to pick it up from the post office. Anyway, I picked it up yesterday, and there was no stopping me. First, a shot of the box. The box it came in next to my 360 copy of iM@S2 When I picked it up, it was lighter than I had imagined, and I it seemed a little small to get an A1-sized tapestry in it, but opening up would show my fears to be unfounded. Unpacking it all, I found everything I'd hoped for. The contents of the shipping box I unrolled the tapestry and the poster to take a look and them, as I had bought the game specifically from Gamers to get them. They are pretty awesome. The A1-sized tapestry The B4-sized poster I also opened up the foil packet to see what was on my anime film strip. Turns out it's the same as the Gamers postcard I got with the set. I wonder if maybe ce...
