The 30th Anniversary of Gundam

This may be old news to some and I known about this as well for a while. But I think that it's still worth sharing.

Anyways, as some may know and for those who don't, a while back the Gundam 30 year Anniversary website announced a life size Gundam robot about 59 feet tall to be build in "Shiokaze Park on Odaiba island" located Tokyo, Japan. This had been annouced back in March and was finished in June of this year. This life size statue is based off of "RX-78-2 Gundam" from the first Gundam anime series from 1979 (the year I was born XD).

In my opinion I think this is pretty cool consider I've only watched one of the series and much enjoyed it. I guess I'm a big mecha themed anime fan XD. Anyways I kind of figured that it wouldn't be that long before there would be a life size mecha built before too long. Although, there were other large size mecha status built before, but nothing as tall as the "RX-78-2 Gundam"

Well Massively update for the My Massive absence

So I haven't posted anything here for a good while. And I'm sorry about that although, its not like a lot of people actually sit and read it. But anyways, I've been quite busy with job hunting and working contracted IT/Computer jobs. I've also been working on an anime/manga website that I'm hoping to have online sometime soon. This site will have a forums, downloads section, and blog like news posting and such. My site will be basically a CMS (Content Managment System) website. As I'm still doing a lot of the configuration with the site and database. I'm not ready to put it up online yet. Plus I'm still working on getting the funds to pay for 5 months of web hosting (currently looking at different hosting services)XD. So with this said I'm not sure if I will keep this blog up since I will be posting most o my posts there. But I might just keep this one running and double post news items on both. I will probably keep this blog running though, but I think I will need to give it make over. I will probably just design a new layout from scratch.

Other updates I finished watching all the animes in that I had posted it my last post back in February; Soul Eater, Witchblade, REC, Hell Girl, Code Geass R2. Well actually I haven't finished watch Bleach just yet as it is still on-going. But in fact I actually finished quite a few other animes as well, I've almost watch 100 different animes, I've actaully at about 96 as you can see from this old post which I keep updating Animes I have completed, but once I have 100 on that list I will stop updating it and just create a new post for each 10 after. Some of those animes in that list I really don't recommend as they are kind of crappy. For example Psychic Wars and MD Geist II: Death Force were not that great, in fact they were garbage. The only reason I sat and watch them was just to say that I have seen them. I will never watch them again though.

Last piece of updates I had beaten God of War for the PS2 for the first time. I beat it on easy, now I working on beating it on the normal difficulty. I'm also very close to beating Resident Evil 4 on the Ps2 as well. I think that I'm currently on Chapter 5-2.

Well that is it for the moment. Thanks for reading. Reposted here on my personal web site:
