Man it was crazy when the XBOX 360 was released. At Toys “R” Us where I work we only had four of the XBOX 360s and they were reserved for fifty dollars pretty fast, and we got about fifteen of the Core systems in. The night before they were released we had people constantly calling asking how many of the XBOX 360s we were going to have for sale the following day. People were coming into our store (Which is located across the street from Circuit City) too by chairs and snacks because they were already starting a line outside Circuit City to buy the XBOX 360s the next day. And by the time I got off of work there were even some people forming a line outside our door waiting for the XBOX 360s. So now that every store is pretty much sold out we have tons of people coming into Toys “R” Us wanting to buy them for Christmas presents but we have no idea when we will be receiving anymore. Our manger said they expect us to get some more in, in January, but I’ve heard from employees at Wal-Mart that they will probably release some more right before Christmas. That will cause chaos. I too really want one, but I’m more interested in the PlayStation 3.

Okay does anyone know what Doujinshi is? I was looking for Fanart and FanFiction and I stumbled upon it. It looks just like Manga but it’s not based on the anime show…it’s more like original stories, but with the same characters from that anime. Like FanFiction but in comic form. So does anyone know if you can only find it on-line, or can you buy it in stores like Manga?

Drawn Together

Airs: Wednesday 10:30 PM on Comedy Central (30 mins)

Status: New Series
Premiered October 1, 2004
Show Category: Animation , Comedy


Summary:
In this spoof of reality TV shows such as The Real World and Big Brother, eight distinct (and dysfunctional) cartoon archetypes (who also spoof the archetypes you might see on a more normal reality series) are flung together and forced to put up with each other. Through various misadventures ranging from scintillating to shocking to downright strange, these eight roomies probe each others' personalities and push each others' buttons.





Character Guide:



Captain Hero- An overmuscled, womanizing superhero (as if you couldn't tell from the name) who strongly resembles Superman, Captain Hero is known for his super-strength, super-drinking, and super-sex drive. He fills the role of the egotistical lothario.



Princess Clara- A naive fairy-tale princess right out of a Disney movie, Clara is prone to expressing herself in song and offending people with her ignorance. She fills the role of the sheltered rich girl.



Toot Braunstein- A chubby, washed-up "Betty Boop" wannabe, black-and-white 1920s has-been Toot is jealous of the attention her thinner, more modern counterparts get, and as a result has grown bitter and borderline suicidal. She fills the role of the angry, manipulative bitch.



Foxxy Love- A blaxploitation version of the title character from Josie and the Pussycats, Foxxy is sassy, brassy, and probably bisexual, at the least. She sure seems to have a thing for Princess Clara, and despite being provoked by Clara's unconcious racism and general naivete, seems to consider her a good friend. She fills the role of the token angry black person.



Spanky Ham- Ripped right out of an Internet cartoon along the lines of Retarded Animal Babies, this petulant pig will do anything for a laugh... as long as it's gross and disgusting. He fills the role of the obnoxious party animal.



Ling-Ling- Obviously inspired by the anime Pokémon, this maniacal, sometimes psychotic, Pikachu look-alike speaks in incomprehensible, pseudo-Japanese gibberish, and resents being treated as the household pet. He/she/it fills the role of the hot-headed loner.



Wooldoor Sockbat- Whatever he is, this banana-yellow analogue to modern kids' cartoon starts like SpongeBob SquarePants can usually be found doing something strange in an attempt (usually unsuccessful) to impress his roommates. He fills the role of the attention-starved weirdo.



Xandir- A pretty-boy fantasy video-game hero who's hardly heroic, he's usually rambling about how he's on "a never-ending quest" to rescue his girlfriend. In other words, he's whipped like a pack mule. This changes somewhat after Xandir comes to terms with his sexuality in Episode 3: now he's on a neverending quest to save his BOYfriend. Resembling an effeminate version of Legend of Zelda's Link, he fills the role of the sensitive male who turns out to be a closeted homosexual.

Wicked Awesome Show. Totally Funny!

Title: Full Moon wo Sagashite, a.k.a. Searching for a Full Moon
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Format: 52 episodes
Dates: 4/6/2002 to 3/29/2003

Summary:

Twelve-year-old Kouyama Mitsuki was devastated when she was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the throat. She had made a promise to the boy she loves that she would one day become a singer, but her illness made singing impossible. To make matters even worse, two angels of death, Takuto and Meroko, appeared to Mitsuki and informed her that she only had one year left to live. This news provides an even greater motivation for Mitsuki to fulfill her dreams, and with a little bit of divine intervention, she begins her quest to become a professional singer so she can be reunited with Eichi before time runs out.

I haven’t actually seen this anime yet, but I watched a short music video with clips from the anime and it looked pretty interesting. I haven’t seen many people talking about it on their sites so I didn’t know if it just wasn’t a very popular anime or if it wasn’t any good.

Kingdom Hearts

Plot Summary:
Released by Disney and Square Enix in 2002 "The closer you get to the light, the larger your shadow becomes" When stars start disappearing and 14-year-old Sora's home, Destiny Islands, is engulfed in a freak storm, he must journey across worlds to find his friends, Riku and Kairi. As master of the mysterious Keyblade, Sora (voiced by the Sixth Sense's Haley Joel Osmet) must battle the soul-eating Heartless and discover where true strength lies.

The game features Final Fantasy-style role-playing in Disney environment. The game has awesome animation-style graphics and over a hundred Disney characters, and appearances by characters from the Final Fantasy series.

"As soon as I finished Kingdom Hearts I couldn’t wait for the squeal to be released. I searched on the Net and found out it was suppose to be released in the United States in September 2005, but sadly when that day finally arrived I raced to my nearest gaming store only to find out that the release date was pushed back to February 2006.
What disappointment."

If your dating someone that your happy with…do you think you should just let things be and stay with him or her because at least you found someone you can be happy with? Or do you think you should leave them because you might be missing out on your chance to find something more? Something more perfect.
