So I'm making my first venture into cosplay prop/weapon making... and why start with something simple when you can jump right in at the awesome end and make an elaborately shaped five-and-a-half-foot sword?

( progress thus far... )

After many years of waiting, I have now played and finished Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. I enjoyed it overall, though it took a while to "feel" like a GS game and I don't think I like it as much as the original games. (Warning: lots of grumbling ahead ( Read more... )

So I've been obsessively hooked on Professor Layton and the Lost Future for the past week or so - bought it on Sunday and had reached twenty hours of gameplay (and the end of the story) by Friday night. @_@ And then browsing fanart/cosplay/MOVIE (it's awesome) all weekend. It's become my newest favourite thing to fangirl over.

So, thoughts!

1. AVATAR. Just got the prequel manga; the artbook is on its way; five weeks 'til the movie comes out at last! (Though the Australian release date isn't until SEPTEMBER. Evidently they're waiting for the next school holidays, but still totally unfair ( Read more... )

Just got home from chiccachilli's house and several straight hours of playing BioShock. Normally I don't play shooters at all but I keep hearing about how good BioShock is, so I was curious ( Read more... )

Finally finished Skies of Arcadia last night - I've been playing it on-and-off since last July, since I bought it at ShinTokyo during AVCon. (It cost $100 - my most expensive game purchase ever! But I really really wanted it.) I might have finished it a lot earlier except that I got really stuck in one area and spent several hours sailing around an ( Read more... )

Just started watching a series called "Storm Hawks". 3D-cel-shaded animation that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, and the script's a bit clumsy (but so is Avatar's, especially at the start) but it's funny and good enough that I want to keep watching. ^_^

The third Avatar game came out recently, and the DS version is actually really good! Very ( Read more... )
