.hack//G.U. TRILOGY

Just got my copy of .hack//G.U. TRILOGY(blu-ray version) Cool

Looks all fancy and nice.

I'll decide whether to sub this after I finish watching it. Laughing Then again... I probably need to find a way to rip blu-ray first...

UPDATE: Just finished watching the movie. It's quite good, but it felt brief and disconnected(you'll probably feel the same if you've played the game)...

They did a great job trying to squeeze 60-100 hours of game content into a 2 hours movie. They could've tried to make it into a three parts movie(a.k.a. a TRILOGY), but I doubt it would help that much in this case(60 hours vs 6 hours isn't that much better than 60 hours vs 2 hours).

Story-wise, the primary focuse in this movie is the emotional development between Haseo and Atoli, Ovan is a big focus too. Some story lines from the game were altered, especially the parts on how Haseo got each of his "forms". Some characters like Endrance and Sakubo didn't even make an appearance(can't blame them for that)...

The CG was absolutely beautiful, they didn't reuse any cut-scene from the game at all. Everything is new, and better than ever. But I guess a major contributing factor is the fact that I'm watching this in 1080i... while the original PS2 games play in 480i...

I guess I'll try to squeeze some time to sub this. After I resolve some technical difficulties... Laughing

Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi preorder special

I almost forgot about this.

This is the iso of the preorder special for the Suzumiya Haruhi PS2 game, per request.

You need a modded PS2 to play this... though I said "play", there isn't anything you can do, just a few videos you can watch.

Before anyone asks... no, I won't upload the actual game. I suggest you to buy it if you want it, but you can probably find a torrent somewhere for it. Wink

Torrent Here!


Game drawer

Space is at a premium at my place. So where do I keep my ever increasing(yet not nearly as big as many other people's) game collection? In a cabinet drawer, of course!

This, in time, became something I really like to stare at from time to time. Cool

By the looks of it, I probably need a new drawer...


Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi

The Perplexity of Haruhi Suzumiya for the PS2. Just received my pre-ordered copy of the (super) limited edition in the mail today.

It never cease to amaze me how well some Japanese companies treat their fans. When you pre-order something in Japan, it almost always comes with some kind of pre-order special, some of them aren't worth shit, but some of them are really nice. So nice, that their worth on auction sites is four or five times the merchandise it came with. Despite the tremendous market demand, the companies would never release them again. It almost doesn't make any business sense...

It's frustrating sometimes when you can't find something you really want. But if you are one of those people who got that special item. It makes you feel really special, and before you know it, you'll be lining up for the next 'special'.

For my pre-ordered (super) limited edition, it came with a PS2 CD(which is the pre-order special) which includes design sketches, various illustrations, a promotional video featuring Hirano Aya, and a Haruhi dance video where the SOS dan are wearing their super hero costume. And it came with the FIRST(model SP-001) figure of the figma series(which is the limited edition special), that you can't find anywhere else.

Now speaking of pre-order specials. Here is something you might wanna take note of if you pre-order games from Play-Asia. They DON'T include pre-order specials. So if you care about these special items, try HimeyaShop, or GDEX. They are a bit more expensive than Play-Asia, but if you pre-order, you get more stuff out of them. Cool If you just want the game, go for Play-Asia, they have the best price.

Game box. If I didn't know this already, I probably wouldn't even think this is a PS2 game.Game box. If I didn't know this already, I probably wouldn't even think this is a PS2 game.

1/7 Etna by Griffon

This is the limited edition(?) 1/7 figure of Etna from Disgaea brought to you by Griffon, which I pre-ordered a couple of months ago. Laughing

The figure is gorgeous, probably the best looking figure of Etna(not many of them out there) I've seen so far. It comes with a base, but it looks horrible in comparison with the figure itself...
