In love with your strict machine. | Just added a new theme. The MP3 is a little large though, so I may see if I can reduce it for those who are interested (edit: just brought down from over 5MB to 1.76MB). The actual song is one of my favourites by Goldfrapp (who I've based my current theme on). I recently purchased Supernature, their latest album and I'm quite enjoying it. If anyone likes Strict Machine I may put up more songs in the future.
Anyway, not a great deal has happened since I last posted, really. I have had quite a busy couple of weeks in general, with both work and social life. Last night I went out to a really nice British-style pub in the city, which I'd never been to before. It was fantastic, the atmosphere was wonderful. I came to realize that there are many sites in my own city that I haven't even seen, so that's something I'm going to have to explore in the future.
I'd talk about all of the Revolution stuff that has happened recently, but I've done that a bit in the actual thread on OtakuBoards. I'll just say that I'm quite surprised by the highly positive media reaction. It's no doubt due to the fact that Nintendo actually allowed much of the media to try the thing out on the day. The same was not true of the GameCube controller, which is possibly why it received fairly mixed initial comments - though obviously, once people got their hands on it, they understood that it felt as smooth as butter. The same seems to be true if this new controller, which is cool.
I think everyone can also look forward to the other aspects of the controller that haven't yet been shown. I just hope that Nintendo do not wait 'till E3 for that. Maybe they'll do something before then, but who knows.
Anyway, I'll get straight to the responses.
(Oh, but first, click here to see some funny movie posters at Kevin's page).
SugarCone: Oh I see, I thought you were referring to the actual game system and not the storage medium. On the game system area, I don't think there's a definite answer. But on the storage medium question, I think it's very likely that Blu-ray will come out on top.
Alan-kun: Isn't it funnier that the only time you comment on my page, it relates to bad news?
Annie-chan: Yeah, a site would be great for all of those things. Absolutely.
84 degrees? I don't know if it's 84F or what. *shrug*
hEvN: Why thank you!
Torisuki: Thanks for the comment, Tori. I hope you are doing well too! Hopefully the wedding planning is going well. ^_^
Bio: Yes, yes you should.
indifference: Thank you for the compliment.
I'm not sure where the 84F came from, I don't remember if I mentioned the temperature in Celsius or not...but obviously, I think every country in the world besides America uses Celsius, so off hand I'm not sure how to translate it.
RiflesatRecess: Thanks, I'll add you as well. How are you enjoying myOtaku?
Sony's been making a lot of strange statements about PS3 and I would not be surprised if it is expensive. But I would also not be surprised if it sits right around the Xbox 360 price point.
PS3 has a lot of great games coming, but most are sequels at the moment. I'm sure I will enjoy what PS3 has to offer, but Xbox 360 and Revolution seem to be providing something a little newer (especially Revolution). Xbox 360 has a couple of new franchises that I'm interested in, so I'm keeping my eye out for those.
Baronness: No, I've never heard of them.
It's true that it's a somewhat obscure name - I had to explain the meaning to every single person I mentioned it to. But that's okay. I figure that if people really want to know, they'll find out and be pleasantly surprised. Alternatively, I would have included the word's definition on the front page of the site, thus removing any confusion.
I am still considering anabiosis.com.au, but we'll see. Getting a .com.au is tougher because of the added business-related hurdles. So I don't know, it might be possible but right now I'm also looking for other ideas as well.
