Anyway… Kotobukiya strikes me again. This is an amazing figure of the amazing girl Suzumiya Haruhi-sama. Arggh!! If only I had money. Maybe it’ll be at Kawaii Kon?

Read it a few hours ago… things are getting interesting. Yakumo Tsukamoto is my favorite girl, and I’m really glad that she’s getting more involved in the story (should I be happy that she’s getting more into Harima-san’s life?…)
I just wonder… and here’s spoilers, so read for your own sake… what do think as Harima and Yakumo as a couple? Back when Harima had a beard, I thought it would be weird for him to even get a girl, but now that he’s shaved and more confident about his *hair*, he seems more respectable than before… you know, this may sound crazy, but I don’t want to see Yakumo hurt. Call me crazy, but I really don’t want to see her get hurt… it’s a manga and all, but, y’know, that doesn’t mean a person can’t fall for a certain character.
Sawachika Eri-sama is also falling for Harima as well. Volume 6, which I had finished a few minutes before starting volume 7, was sort of surprising when Sawachika-sama and Harima-san were dancing at the end. The tragic thing about this manga is that Sawachika-sama is getting less and less attractive (by comparison). I just wonder what will happen to Harima-san? Tenma-chan is as clueless as usual, Ichijo-san is falling for… that guy, whatever the hell his name is. Hanai-san is… barely involved, and Takano-san and that other girl (I forget her name ^^) are…, well, making scarce appearances.
While Sawachika-sama doesn’t look cute in a school uniform, she still looks “uber” sexy in her shooting range outfit. She also seems to be moving away from the group (Tenma and those others)… she’s more involved with Harima, but seems less involved with everyone else. Not only that, but she also seems to know guys. I found this surprising: a guy “picked her up” and took her home (as in, drove her home). I mean, who the hell is this guy? I thought it was Harima-san, but… nope. Who the hell does this guy think this guy is?? Or something?
Still love School Rumble as much as the first time I read it. It doesn’t have as much jokes as the early volumes, but it’s still silly enough to make me laugh.
We all know what the FCC is, right? Well, if you don’t, then here’s the gist of it:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC’s jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions.
Right, so there’s a communications regulation agency of the U.S. government. They handle things like what can be said or displayed on public television (television that doesn’t need a subscription; for example, Cartoon Network can be viewed for free, whereas you have to pay extra for Showtime). The contradiction is this video:
If you click on it, it says you must be over 18 to view it. Funny… it’s a television ad. The FCC approved of it, yet some silly monkey went and marked the video as adult content. It’s funny what some people do, don’t you agree?
Creepy. I remember an article about this game in Game Informer (for people outside of the U.S., it’s a gaming-oriented magazine; they write the best reviews, in my opinion). From memory, you are taking the role of a mining engineer from a intergalactic mining company. You’re being sent to this spaceship that apparently disappeared and are also being told to investigate and determine whether the ship and any cargo is salvageable. What you find is that the ship’s crew is dead and the ship is invested with murderous aliens. It’s obvious what comes next: survival.
It’s on the Xbox360, PS3, and the PC. Any takers? Seems there’s also an animated series, which is right here:
I believe that Warhammer 40,000 has expanded to the point that the only thing that it needs to expand to a fanbase that reviles with Star Wars is a good movie. And, it’s going to happen eventually. Whether or not the first movie is a good one is another question.
The most controversial question is, what will it be about? Will it be completely original, revealing things about the Warhammer 40,000 universe that not even Games Workshop scholars (otherwise known as fanboys) know about? Or, will it be a transition? As in, will it be based off of a video game, battle, or book? I hope it’s the former. The fundamental question, I believe, is which era? The “present” or the Heresy? Should the movie be based off of the 31st millennium or 41st millennium? The Great Crusade or the Age of Imperium? (that’s not the current age, but I am not familiar as to what the current age is, so Age Imperium will do).
If it will not be original (my thoughts vary on whether it’ll be original or a transition), then it must be based off of a book. First of all, the only good video game that’ll make a good movie would be Dawn of War, but even then the chances of it being a good transition are slim. Maybe with DOW2, it’ll work. Second, if the movie were based off of a battle or campaign, then that complicates things for the writer; there are hardly, if at all, established characters or a plot. I doubt the battles on the table-top have a movie-quality plot and cast behind them. A book would be the only good choice left. The best book? It depends on the era you’re looking for. If it’s “present,” then anything by Dan Abnett will do. Preferably his Gaunt’s Ghosts series.
However, this does pose a problem. Now, I don’t want to come off as a marketer or someone skilled in such a profession. I’m just speaking from the viewpoint of a fan. I tried to not come off of someone trying to tell Games Workshop what to do with their products, but it’s unavoidable in this paragraph. Ironically, it’s the one I want to share the most.
I am currently reading Descent of Angels by Mitchel Scanlon. It’s fantastic. It surpasses anything that I’ve read from Black Library. It probably even surpasses Horus Rising by Dan Abnett. What I love about this book is that it shows a new perspective: a planet being brought into the hands of the Emperor. No book that I’ve read has done this before. It shows the universe from a perspective that I can relate to; that to live according to the customs of my planet, then to be absorbed into the culture of an intergalactic empire the next day. It shows a perspective unseen before, and something that could happen this day (however unlikely it is, it’s more likely than any other book). What I mean is, converting fans to Warhammer 40,000. To start off with something non-Warhammer 40,000 fans can relate to. To introduce them to the uniqueness and vastness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. To introduce one of the fundamentals of Warhammer 40,000: humanity is scattered and trying to survive in the galaxy. One of the things that got me hooked to the book was the most unexpected conversation between the book’s main characters: Zahariel and Nemiel. They were talking about Terra (Earth) and whether or not it existed. Nemiel thought that Earth was simply a myth, made up by their ancestors in order to convince themselves that they weren’t alone. How many times have you read or heard a conversation like that? Not only that, but it also introduces the Emperor himself. He even has a couple lines! I digress, but I do think that Descent of Angels would be the perfect candidate for introducing Warhammer 40,000 to new audiences. I won’t be disappointed with a different movie, of course. To be blunt, just as long as it doesn’t suck. And mass marketing… that would suck too. Seeing a bunch of Warhammer 40,000 toys would be quite insulting to me, ugh. The toys would just make it look generic, is all.
Well, it’s 2:00am. I’m going to bed.
For a full fucking week. Back in middle school, fall and spring vacation were three weeks long, with Christmas varying on which track you were on. The tracks were Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green (my track). Everyone’s Christmas vacation was two weeks long, while Green track’s vacation was five weeks long. Yeah! ^^ (I forget how long summer was, but Green track’s vacation were all bunched up; Red would have vacation, then school for three weeks, and then another vacation, for example) However, in High School, the schedule is different. Christmas, I believe, is two weeks, and summer is about seven weeks (about as long as Green track’s summer vacation). I forget how long spring is. What is your schedule like?
Our campus is larger and we have more classrooms; therefore we (as in, the parents) don’t have to deal with tracks and different schedules. Back in Freshman year, I sort of wished tracks were integrated into the school, since it was so crowded last year. Now that I’m a Sophomore, I don’t have to deal with that crap since I know the campus, and because Sophomores aren’t as bunched up as Freshman are. Hooray!
Anyhow, I believe I owe you, the reader, an explanation as to what the hell is going on. Well, I’ve been busy with stuff. Playing games and getting things done (such as buying new earphones). I’m pretty sure that most of you here know about Mercenaries 2. While it didn’t get the reception from critics that I hoped, it is a very good game. The tragedy, though, is that my brother is hogging my PS3 and is doing what I did: play it whenever he got the chance. Ah, oh well. I already beat the game anyway.
Oh, and….. my mercenary is Jennifer Mui. Kind of to be assumed, right?
