Metal Gear Online Beta



Metal Gear Online Beta has started last, like this passed Friday rather than Monday thanks to the global want for this Beta. The servers where jammed like crazy went over the planned beta players and in the end the whole thing just shut down hahaha.

Originally only way to get this was via pre-ordering Metal Gear Solid 4 and getting the bonus disc which had a documentary and the Beta code. Well know Konami has sent those with Ps3's beta invites to get your chance to play this Beta while it is still available. Get on take on your friends or random people in the biggest online Tactical Espionage game where your job is to take control, kill opponents and win.

Tournaments and challengers

A nice idea I had to start this blog was to set up bloggers to meet and challenge themselves and other in games and anime trivia.

Video Games tournaments, random challenges and battles sound like something fun everyone can do, and trying to get a place to have these challenges and tournaments would be something I'd like to do such as a King of Fighters Tournament, Melty Blood, Guilty Gear and even upcoming games, heck even Initial D Extreme stage when it comes out soon. With enough people we can try to get something started in South and North Cali just for fun and people to meet each other.

Anime trivia contests or get togethers would introduce Animes to people who haven't possibly seen a series yet, or let people see some of there favorites again with others and talk about it.

This is just my random Idea and hope there would be a good support for something like this, nothing can happen without people to support a fun idea like this.

Hayate no Gotoku Anime series

Translated as "Hayate the Combat Bulter," follows Ayasaki Hayate and his difficult life as a student, a son and sadly both fail, but its not his fault his parents are just those who care for the now and themselves and would sell there son off for money....Which they did. Hayate's life seems to have come to and end, but with tons of bad luck, you'd expect some good luck to happen, and it did as Hayate makes the desperate choice to kidnap a young girl he just met for ransom, he eventually saves her and with tons of confusion, his offer to kindap her was taken as a confession of love.

Hayate hides his true intentions from this girl who ends up being the granddaughter of the wealthiest man in Japan, and in turn becomes her butler, but not just any butler her fighting butler.

The First Season has just ended in Japan with a season 2 coming out hopefully around Winter but only time can tell.

The series is full of action, comedy romance and tons of parodies from other series and even mentions of them. Some to mention, are:

-Mar Heaven, as Ginta and Dorothy shown a few times.
-Detective Conan, Busts of Conan are hidden around Nagi's mansion as well as she looked like a femake version of Conan in one episode.
-Inuyasha: A bust of Inuyasha has appeared many times
and many more its something for one to keep an eye out while laughing at the anime.

Shin Megami Tensei.....MMORPG


If always been a fan of the Shin Megami Tensei series of games going back to Persona 1
(before I started importing games), and been playing them since. While the Ps1 versions were great, the Ps2 versions were freaking awesome. Nocturne is still one of my top favorites with Persona 3 right behind it, but now I just found out there is a Shin Megami Tensei MMORPG that takes place between the 2 never released Super Famicom versions, Digital Devil Story (which you could find the roms translated only way I could play it).

The game is 3d animation looks like Nocturne style and you create how your character looks like, and choose male or female. I haven't played much of it yet, spent alot of time downloading it and fixing it, but any game where your main char can hunt down demons and carry a huge gun while teaming with others is a top choice for me. The only downside the best stuff costs actually money, its a free game but the cooler add ons cost out of pocket money, but if you don't care and work hard for the good stuff this would be a great game to play.

Persona 3 Fes


After such a long wait we finally have Persona 3 Fes released stateside and im happy. If you were like me and bought the game on release and spent every waking moment to beat it as fast as you can and get everything else it has been a good long wait for this expansion. I don't mind the American cover but the Japanese one just looks so awsome. I finally got the chance to play this since my weekend has kept me away from systems and again im going to play the main story with my last save then do Chapter Aegis with much happiness taking my sweet time on this great rpg. This will just be enough time until Metal Gear Solid 4 and Persona 4 arrive, and with those i'm going to have less and less free time, but its worth it.

With a $29.99 price point this is so worth it even if you already spent the $49.99 when it came out or whatever you paid for used or to get it even on Ebay. The Ost is just the greatest thing to hear so if you don't have the original you better find a place to listen to it.
