Ahhh… October is almost over. And it’s a good thing too because I am almost out of smackaroos. Hobbies are expensive addictions. You are probably better off taking drugs.<\/p>\n

\"Money!!!\"<\/p>\n

So anyway, here are some purchases I made this month that I have NOT been regretting. The rare few, that is.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First up, we have a D.C. II<\/strong> Nanaka mouse pad and phone card set that I mentioned before in a previous<\/a> entry. It cost a bomb. Like the nuclear kind. But Nanaka fanboyism overcomes all, including food and daily necessities.<\/p>\n

\"NANAKA!\"<\/p>\n

Mouse pad<\/a>
\nPhone card<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s pretty nice. The phone card is where most of the explosive price tag goes to. People are selling the mouse pad on Yahoo! Auctions for just a few hundred yen without the phone card… Ah, crazy Japanese collecting telephone cards that no one ever uses because every single one of them has a mobile phone surgically attached to his\/her hand. No one will even notice the difference if NTT stops putting credits into these cards. (Or maybe they already did?)<\/p>\n

Moving on, we have SummerDays & School Days Visual Collection<\/a><\/strong>. Despite the huge screw-up that was SummerDays<\/strong>, fanboyism dies hard and sometimes you are rewarded for it. This visual collection is waaaaay superior to the game. Really.<\/p>\n

\nNew School Days box design<\/a>
\nSekai so hawt<\/a>
\nSetsuna V!<\/a>
\nSetsuna turning kick!<\/a><\/p>\n

And a whole bunch of other promotional and game-related art that I shall not post here because they are too… ummm… cool<\/em>. Yeah. Let’s just say that Kinokuniya wouldn’t bring this in so I had to pay through my nose to get it online. (As opposed to paying through my nose at Kinokuniya, that is)<\/p>\n

Next… Caladbolg<\/strong> from T2 Art Works<\/a> (NSFW). Oh, so much win that I shed tears as I befouled it with my unworthy touch.<\/p>\n

\"Caladbolg\"<\/p>\n

Back cover (NSFW!!!)<\/a>
\nSaber Saber wai wai!<\/a>
\nRin in swimsuit<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m sure you all have the complete scans of Tony Taka doujinshi stowed away somewhere on your hard drives, so I shall not bother with more pictures…<\/p>\n

And finally, Zero no Tsukaima<\/strong> 1\/6<\/strike> 1\/8 Louise PVC (I have no idea why I like to type 1\/6 these days)<\/small> from Kotobukiya<\/a>. This was a pleasant surprise because I was sooooo sure that the final mass production figure will totally suck compared to the pictures. It turned out quite awesome, possibly better than the Alter one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, I have a Chinese O’level paper tomorrow. Wow, I should really start working on that or something… Oooo shiny object!…<\/p>\n

Anyway, before I go, I just want to say that Happiness!<\/strong> episode 4 has caused me so much mental pain and agony. GAOOOO!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
