Games, Manga, Wrestling

It is a sad day in the professional wrestling industry, as it has lost someone who is a great wrestler, a great performer, and a great man.
RIP Eddie Guerrero, You will be missed.














After being exposed to the sheer awesomeness of Shadow of the Colossus, I had to pick up a copy myself. Hence my life as a colossus killer has begun. I recently visited Rey and observed them taking down all 16 colossus in one sitting.....on a projector to boot! Its a fortunate yet unfortunate experience for me. Why unfortunate? Its tough going back to normal tv after being in front of a projector screen for hours. And now that I've seen them take down the Colossus, its not as challenging for me. So I've decided to dedicate myself to discover and invent some unimaginable ways of destroying those colossus. Just like Mwu La Flaga, the man who managed to deflect a positron cannon with a beam coating/beam reflector, I shall become the man who can make the impossible possible.
As mentioned in Reys review for this great game, the ending does not give you the feeling that you've "beaten" the game. It shows you that one must be responsible for his own actions. Throughout the game, the colossus gave me a feeling that they are a part of the nature. Whenever one of them goes down, it gives me a sense of satisfaction but at the same time I feel somewhat bad about it. To me, the giant shadowy figure released after all colossus are destroyed reflects our current situation. For our own benefits, we tend to abuse and destroy our natural surroundings. The end result of our action will very likely be life threatning to us in the form of pollution, which Dormin really reminds me off. This game has a message in it that says clearly that no matter how noble a reason you have, there will always be consequences.
With all the "cool" and "badass" games out in the market right now, Shadow of the Colossus is a refreshing piece that demonstrates video game is not always about sex and violence but could be a beautiful piece of art work (literally) and carries a meaningful message for all the youngsters.


Its been almost 3 and a half months since Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 came out, so I'm thinking to myself that I should write a review for it. Although its no where near being a popular game in the north America video game market, but it definitely deserves some love. Consider this my desperate attempt to inform others of the existence of such a game.


I recently ordered some (12 to be exact) mangas and some of them have already arrived. Since I've been rather busy these days, I only managed to read 3 of them. After watching Shakugan no Shana, I'm rather interested in the manga as it has an interesting story. My immediate impression of the manga is "this Shana looks more.....loli then the anime version". They even made fun of her child like appearance in the manga. In some point in the vol she states that if the main character (Sakai Yuji) tries anything funny she'll cut him up. The reply she got? "I'm not into weird hobbys like that". Once I get my scanner working I might post more pics.


The other Manga I read is SumomomoMomomo The Strongest Bride In The World, a action/comedy/romance manga. Since I read the 3rd vol before reading the first 2, I don't really know whats going on. But from the 3rd alone, it seems to be a fun series. Some character designs are awesome as they definitely look like someone you don't want to mess with. I'll try to have some pics of those characters soon.



The 3rd one I read is the 8th vol of Honey and Clover. After seeing how the tv series doesn't give us an actual ending, I decided to pick up the manga to find out what happens after. Kinda sad to see how the art element is slowly being forgotten and becomes a frustrating romance manga. Yet its something I really enjoyed....

Nothing on anime this time. I'll probably write a review for either Blood+ or Rozen Maiden Traumend before I start my robot wars review.
