Went out for lunch yesterday and headed out to Fort Langley for some Fish and Chips. Decided to bring lil’ Kagamiku along just for laughs. It’s her first time out of the house and I was so scared she’d break in my pocket. I should invest in containers so I can easily keep all of the spare parts as well as for safe transport.
It’s time to start saving again. Being a huge Saber fan, I just can’t pass this one up.

Fate/Extra Type-Moon Box Is Here!

It. Is. Epic.
No doubt about it. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is one hell of a ride. This post has been a long time coming, I just haven’t had the time to sit down and write about (ok maybe not entirely since I wrote up the review on Gaming Union).
However, since I’ve clocked more than 60 hours now, I can clearly say that Peace Walker offers way more than what Guns of the Patriots ever did. While the fourth instalment was epic in its own right and definitely had plenty of moments for fanservice, it certainly felt as though it could’ve been better. Maybe I’m just biased towards Big Boss, but Peace Walker has so much in it that even after the end credits rolled, I still managed to spoil the game. How that works? Well, that’s just Kojima and his merry band of developers for you.
Being a sucker for anything Metal Gear, I actually managed to secure a copy of the Big Boss Bundle last month, thanks to my good friend April (Thanks again!). I’ve also purchased the novels and the Prima guide, which is really useful for the Extra Ops and collecting every possible item/weapon available in the game, of which there is a lot. There’s also the original soundtrack and single which you can spot in the photo above. That’s yet another plus over MGS4, the music in Peace Walker is really good, really engaging, especially when it hits the climax at the end.
Anyway, I’m still playing the darn game whenever I have the time to. If you’ve got a PSP, but no Peace Walker, do yourself a favour at get to your nearest game retailer and pick up a copy now.
I had originally pre-ordered this from Otacute back in ye old December of 2009, that’s nearly half a bloody year ago. I placed my order simply because of the gorgeous Figma figure of the newly designed Saber, who’s now depicted in a lovely red dress and a brand new Excalibur to match, that comes with the game. There wasn’t much else details about what else came with the box at the time.
Alongside the game is the Figma, an artbook and the game’s soundtrack. The box art itself looks great! I simply can’t wait for it now, according to both Play-Asia and Amiami, the bundle is slated for a late July release this year.

Preorders for GSC’s Black Rock Shooter Animation Version is finally open! This figure looks so sweet, with this now GSC has a total of 3 scaled figures of the lovely lady from BRS in addition to the Nendo and Figma toys as well. She’s up for grabs at these online retailers, AmiAmi, Otacute and Hobby Search. I wonder which ones I should get.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Albums Arrive

Let me just say this. EMS is flipping fast. Got the shipping details in my email just yesterday and before I even know it, the lovely package arrives this afternoon.
Well, now that the music of Peace Walker is in my crummy asian hands, I must say that I find the music to be quite nostalgic. It reminds me a lot of Snake Eater. The theme song is pure epic and Heaven’s Divide feels so emotional. Listening to it just keeps me incredibly excited for the game itself, which hits retailers June 8 in North America. I’m totally gunning for the Big Boss Bundle, by the way.
