			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a filler post&#8230; So I&#8217;m going to make a quick list of my personal impression of what I&#8217;ve seen this season.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-336" title="hinagiku" src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hinagiku.png" alt="hinagiku" width="500" height="250" /></p>
<p>Just keep in mind that this is what I think and if you don&#8217;t agree with it&#8230;. well I don&#8217;t care.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span id="more-335"></span>
<ul>
<li><strong>Asura Cryin&#8217;</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s alright.  Probably will give a few more episodes.</li>
<li><strong>Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity-</strong> &#8211; I like it.  Will keep watching.</li>
<li><strong>Tears to Tiara</strong> &#8211; See Asura Crying&#8217;.</li>
<li><strong>Hatsukoi Limited.</strong> &#8211; Funny&#8230; but will give it a few more episodes to decide whether or not to keep watching.</li>
<li><strong>K-ON!</strong> &#8211; Boring.  Couldn&#8217;t get past the 5 minute mark.</li>
<li><strong>Sengoku BASARA</strong> &#8211; See K-ON!</li>
<li><strong>Hayate no Gotoku!! (Season 2)</strong> &#8211; Liked the first season and will keep watching.  I like Hinagiku.</li>
<li> <strong>Queens Blade Rurou no Senshi</strong> &#8211; Undecided whether to keep going.  People seem to like it because of the bouncy&#8230; yea&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
And here is some of the stuff I still have to watch.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Senjou no Valkyria</strong> &#8211; Based on the PS3 game.  Friend is raging at the rifle.</li>
<li><strong>FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST</strong> &#8211; durrr&#8230; Everyone is watching it and I have to get around to doing so.</li>
<li> <strong>Eden of the East</strong> &#8211; Lots of hype for this one.  Has a good premise.  Need to stop being lazy.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Older anime that I still need to watch.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Code Geass S2</strong> &#8211; Overrated but I should probably finish it since I watched the first season.</li>
<li><strong>Gundam 00 S2</strong> &#8211; See above.</li>
<li> <strong>Clannad -After Story-</strong> &#8211; I guess this can also be overrated but I <em>BAWWWWWWWWWH </em>around episode 10.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
PS: I cannot believe how annoying it is to use the listing feature is for WP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MIDTERMS OVER!</p>
<p>I recently applied for closed beta for an MMORPG called <a href="http://domo.aeriagames.com/" target="_blank">Dream of Mirror Online</a> (DOMO) and it is currently day 2 of the beta testing.  I will give some quick thoughts on it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/domologo.jpg" alt="domologo" /></p>
<p>The main reason that made my eyes open would because of the graphics of the game.  It is very simple.  Anime-like cell shaded characters.  I love it.  It reminds me of Persona 3&#8242;s graphics and animation of Final Fantasy Unlimited.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/domo1.jpg" alt="domo1" /></p>
<p>Cute isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p><span id="more-98"></span>This game has an ancient Chinese mythology theme to it.  From the old school buildings, the clothing on the characters, candle lanterns, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_guardian_lions">Rui Shi</a> statues, and several other Chinese things.  The vegetation resembles whose from old water paints hung up in oriental groceries sold overprice. The music has the traditional Chinese feel to it.  Although it is upbeat, it is still very annoying.  The timing loop for the background music isn&#8217;t quite right yet so it is best to just leave it off and turn on some Dragon Force.</p>
<p>There are currently 4 races to choose from.  Humans, Shura, Slyphs, and Sprites.  Humans is pretty self explanatory.  Shura are the demon like race.  Slyphs can be considered the floating magical deities of the game.  Sprites are like little gnomes or something like that.  I made a Shura.  Ain&#8217;t she sexy?</p>
<p><a href="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/domochar.jpg" target="_blank"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/domochar.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/domochars.jpg" alt="domochars" /></a></p>
<p>There are a number of different classes to play.  The website only listed a few of the possible available ones.  But there are others such as bards, dancers, wizards , and fencers.  I made a doctor.  Since some of the people I play with are damage classes.. I might as well make a support character.  I&#8217;ve always liked playing priests in RO.. I just didn&#8217;t like soloing.</p>
<p>The game play is a bit buggy with some invisible grounds popping up in front of your character every now and then. The movement is rather limited where you can only use the WASD movement scheme of things or either use point and click. I personally would rather have both for better versatility.  The interface is a bit clotted with a bunch of useless stuff.  I haven&#8217;t gotten the feel of customizing anything yet.  There isn&#8217;t much love for people that play their games on laptops.  I would like it if the resolutions can be made full screen to laptops without making the characters look like they&#8217;ve gained several waist sizes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/domochar2.jpg" alt="domochar2" /></p>
<p>I am quite interested as to how the party system will work out.  I&#8217;ve been longing for a game that requires team work.  High end PvE should be interesting but I believe it is safe to say that no one is near that point yet.  I wish my friends from <a href="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/LoseEmote.jpg" target="_blank">Lose</a> would come and play with me.  It is difficult to gain so much trust with people online.  I miss them. Abyss Lake was fun.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been to much of a fan of raw PvP.  So I don&#8217;t care much for PvP rooms.  The one thing I loved about Ragnarok Online was their War of Emperium system (WoE).  It can easily be explained as castle sieging.   Break the Emperium (A big yellow crystal) at the heart of the castle to take it over for your guild.  Although there are flaws to the system.  I loved playing it during the peak of EtherealRO and CelestiaRO1, two private RO servers that my guild has played on.  I hope that DOMO will have a system like implemented sometime in the future.  It would possibly follow the Lineage 2 siege system.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ll play this game for a while and see what it has to offer.  It would be something to do.. not that I have anything better to do.  It would also give me more material for future posts.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to start flying around.</p>
