   Stuck To My Katamari: Guitar Hero

Current Mood: Rockin'


Site stuff first: If you haven't already, and I am sure you all have, be sure to give Gia a big welcome to our dysfunctional Otaku family. She is the latest member of our News Team. It's great to have you here on theO Gia!

While you are on the front page of theO reading all the latest news be sure to check out the latest reviews I've posted. Currently on the site are the reviews for the Rumbling Hearts Box Set and the Starter Set of Mushi-shi. Currently I am working on finishing my write up from the Industry Panel at AX and three more reviews. They should be posted shortly. I've got to get motivated to finish up my AX stuff...

Personal Ramblings: So I really don't have a good excuse for my latest absence. Quite honestly I am a very boring person and not much happens in my life on a daily basis so I just decided to wait until I had some stuff to chat about. Since I last updated my aunt Kazuko flew up here from southern California to visit the family for a couple of weeks. So needless to say we had many family functions going on. My aunt suggested we have a Shimura family reunion in Hawaii, which I think is an excellent idea. I've never been to Hawaii and would love to go. ^_^

I also finally broke down and bought a new phone this past Friday. I'm sure you guys have been getting tired of reading about how much I was hating my old phone. It finally made it to the point where it didn't ring at all and would only tell me I had voice mail 3 days after a message was left. Not to mention it only held a charge for less than one day. Annoying. So, I bit the bullet and bought the 8GB iPhone. Any of you Mac haters can keep your hate to yourself since I don't want to hear it. *eyes anti-Mac faction* It's been quite a fun gadget to play around with and I even used it to work on theO. Since both John and I work via the internet this feature will come in handy when our regular internet service crashes or we are away from the computer. Often John finds out that MTV needs and update ASAP and we will be away from home. Now he can just take care of it right then. That totally rocks.

Just as a side note, if you look at the back of the season 2 box set of The Hills you can see some of John's work. He put together the virtual image of the cast. Neat-o huh. lol

In addition to taking care of stuff around the site, family stuff and other obligations I have been trying to finish up some of those odds and ends of games I never completed. I finally finished up Final Fantasy 12. I had been trying to get a Ribbon so I could use this one shield but I finally gave up after days of trying to get it. It's one of those it may or may not spawn so keep checking back deals...meh! I finally said forget it and finished out the game. Plus all my characters were at level 99. Now I'm working on finishing Okami. Never did get that game done. It so pretty to look at. On the DS I am working on a Phoenix Wright game then moving on to Trauma Center. Unfortunately, as you can tell by my blog title that Guitar Hero is also taking up a lot of my free time.

Speaking of Guitar Hero... as many of you know I am a child of the 80's. Yes, I know I'm old. lol I love the 80's. With the latest Guitar Hero game coming out (BTW, it's pretty much GH2 with a new skin and not as much stuff.) being dedicated to 80's rock it has become a bit of an obsession. I'm playing the game on Hard but I can only play for a little while before my RA flares up and I have to stop the rock. Which totally sucks but at least I can play. It kind of makes me sad to think one day I may not be able to play anymore. Oh well, I deal with that when it happens. Hopefully it won't happen before I have a chance to play Rock Band. I just need to find other people to rock with me. ^_^

Everyone: Well, since it's been so long since my last update I'll just leave you guys with this random question: What was the last thing you were grounded for?
