			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was getting a bit tired of my old one so here&#8217;s something new and sexy.  I didn&#8217;t get around to finishing the mockup for my project but I don&#8217;t think it would have been able to top this one.  I mentioned before, I&#8217;m for a minimalistic style.. I don&#8217;t like having stuff all cluttered together since I&#8217;m not trying to sell anything.  There are still a few small things that need to get tweaked but it wouldn&#8217;t really matter if I didn&#8217;t.  This is the first time I used widgets since this theme pretty much requires you to use it.  I&#8217;ve been avoiding it since it came out usually because messes with several default settings but my sidebar would have been empty if I left it.  Neat thing about this theme is that it&#8217;s like easy mode for customization.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I will change themes for a long time since this is pretty sweet.  Now if I will only make use of this blog&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a month since the last real post but nothing really that interesting (that&#8217;s otaku related) has happened at all.  I&#8217;m still using Twitter for random updates that isn&#8217;t worth posting.  I&#8217;m hoping something happens this next month.</p>
<p>My random thought process right now is making it hard to make a post that is sequencial so it will be kind of all over the place.</p>
<p><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/renwhatareyoutalkingabout.png" alt="renwhatareyoutalkingabout" title="Ren is adorable." width="500" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401" /></p>
<p><span id="more-367"></span>I&#8217;ve been mostly reading 4komas and doujins the last month.  It has been a nice way to pass time when you&#8217;re bored.  The Touhou related ones are usually very funny&#8230; Following whatever danbooru has to offer.  I also download Type-Moon/Tsukihime related ones&#8230; mostly by Hiroyuki.  Very enjoyable but since it&#8217;s an old series&#8230; it&#8217;s doubtful anything new will ever show up.</p>
<p>I started to practice guitar more seriously.  Slowly but surely, I&#8217;ve been improving..   Lots of practice put into play even the easiest of songs. I hope to be able to shred like this someday&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/dfQh20oeZxs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dfQh20oeZxs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>I got the impression that many people started to play guitar because of K-ON!  However, that isn&#8217;t my motivation. It was because my friends encouraged me to play Jumper by Third Eye Blind after watching the Yes-man movie.  I was put up a challenge with someone else to see who can play better at the end of the summer.  We&#8217;re suppose to work on vocals as well but I say screw that.  I already found the song I&#8217;m going to use and I will probably post a youtube when the time comes so everyone can laugh at me&#8230; It was just further motivation for me to keep going. Learning how to play an instrument has greatly appreciate music and the amount of <a href="http://survivingtheworld.net/Lesson5.html">hardwork</a> people put into playing a musical instrument. </p>
<p>As for my gamer status&#8230;  I&#8217;m playing Valkyria Chronicles, very good game.  It was a total pain to find a copy of it though.  The game has been discontinued and the only hope was to find a used copy.  I got to thank a friend of mine to holding it at his EB.  </p>
<p><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/valkyriachronicles.png" alt="valkyriachronicles" title="Another picture taken on a crappy phone" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-405" /></p>
<p>I also started a second playthrough of Persona 4, it&#8217;s a great game.. why not?  I will try and get the 100% social links and compendium this time around. Been playing a bit of Street Fighter 4 but haven&#8217;t really been motivated to get better mostly because I don&#8217;t have a stick.  I preorded BlazBlue, the one game I want to get good at no matter what.  I want a stick before that comes out.  The guy hasn&#8217;t got around to make one yet&#8230; he&#8217;s been busy and I&#8217;m sort of getting anxious.  I&#8217;m debating whether or not I should buy the SMT game for the PS2&#8230; I was interested in it a few months ago but I&#8217;m not sure anymore.  L4D is fun and I reached a <a href="http://xdbit.com/img/l4d-legendarysurvivor.PNG">milestone</a> with some of my friends just recently.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ll go play some Persona 4 and then start working on that theme.  I&#8217;ve been putting it off for a while.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/updatepicture.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Many things I need to get done.  I have a few drafts almost ready to publish.  A gallery is being held off for a bit since I am not sure whether or not Coppermine is the best one for me.  Just very lazy to do it.  Mostly been watching anime&#8230;  Amazing isn&#8217;t it?!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see if I will get a stream of posts over the next few days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long four months of not posting stuff.  I have finally decided to give some attention to this blog. My good friend, Allen, whom I talk to very rarely will get to making me my theme in the next couple of weeks.</p>
<p><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/beach.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Now is the spring time of youth and summer is just around the corner.  Which many people are going out to have their own beach episode&#8230; possibly two.  Darking that pale radiation tanned skin.  And some possibly attending a convention (or two).</p>
<p><strong>So why have I neglect this blog empty for such a long time?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><span id="more-111"></span></p>
<p>One of the reasons why I neglected it for so long is because I started to play Ragnarok Online again.  Not the brightest move I made but it has made me never to want to play any sort of grind game ever again. I devoted a lot of time into the game and my guild only to see it fail.</p>
<p>I also quit DOMO.  Also a grind game, linear leveling, decent story, bad guild competition, poor monster AI, cash item shop.  The community is full of bad players which caused most of my guild to quit.  I&#8217;m going to quote one of my friends.</p>
<blockquote><p>As far as I&#8217;m concerned,  We&#8217;ve already reached end game.  Our rivals [guilds] try to beat us through levels and failed.  We&#8217;ve already beat them in a team duel when they were higher level.</p></blockquote>
<p>I decided to get back into Guild Wars and play it more casually. Less grind oriented, PvP is a little more organized, active devolopers, and events (even though many of them are lame).  I look forward to playing Guild Wars 2 when it comes out and hope to compete at a competitive level.</p>
<p><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/gw004.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I could say I was busy with school.  I got my ass kicked this year because of RO.</p>
<p><strong>Why did I decide to come back and blog once again?</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/haruhiband.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Well one reason is because I get messages in my inbox saying that I got a comment on whatever post I made.  Many of them makes me raise an eyebrow since the posts were several months old.  Made me realize that most of my posts were filled with ignorance.</p>
<p>I intend on setting up a gallery very soon to host pictures of a friend&#8217;s trip to Anime North.  So it made me want to work on my site once again.  I will also attend a few conventions and take many pictures to add to the gallery as well.</p>
<p>Finally, with my constant nagging.  I can finally use a theme I&#8217;m not too ashamed of.  Won&#8217;t be super original since everything on the internet is somewhat stolen from somewhere else.  I&#8217;m a fan of minimalistic design so it would be something that.  I already got the mock up.</p>
<p>The direction I will take with this blog will pretty much remain the same.  Emphasis on video games and anime.</p>
<p><strong>What am I doing now?</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/tsukasacake.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Initially, I started this blog to make it anime related.  Now I barely watch anime at all.  Nothing this season really catches my eye and the stuff I would normally watch is in fillers or just haven&#8217;t gotten around to follow those update sites to download stuff like D.Gray Man.</p>
<p>I am not entirely bored out of my mind though.  I still have my good old PS2.  Last week I picked up <a href="http://www.manakhemia.com/home.html" target="_blank">Mana Khemia</a>.  I was rather fortunate to grab the last copy in the store. Fun game.  A few days ago, I decided to get <a href="www.atlus.com/persona3/" target="_blank">Persona 3 FES</a>.  The expansion game I&#8217;ve been waiting so long for. I also saw that there was brand new copies of <a href="http://katamari.namco.com/">Katamari</a> on the shelf and I just couldn&#8217;t resist.</p>
<p>Cheap games.  $40 for Mana Khemia, $30 for Persona 3 FES, and $10 for Katamari.  Great deals.  All these games has some very good music and soundtracks.</p>
<p>So now I got some sort of entertainment for a few weeks.  Mana Khemia for another 30 or so hours of game play.  Persona 3 FES, new game, 100+ hours.  Katamari when I feel like doing something that doesn&#8217;t require much thinking.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m off to watch random stuff on <a href="http://nicovideo.jp">nicovideo</a> and then play something.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No real change when it came to making this blog look seasonal.. not worth it since the reader base is only a few people who mostly does not comment anyways.</p>
<p><a title="halloweenwitch.jpg" href="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/halloweenwitch.jpg"><img src="http://xdbit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/halloweenwitchs.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
I have come across this very annoying bug or something like that where my RSS feed is not being updated on SnapShots/Previews.  After I decided to change my perma-link structure.  It hasn&#8217;t been working correctly.  Finding nothing on the WP forums that could help with that.  I&#8217;m going to change it back to the old permalink structure if I can&#8217;t figure it out soon.Another thing I have to do would be to place a featured feed section on the new theme I plan to use.  That is pretty much the only thing I got to get done before the transition.  I still have to talk to my.. coding adviser for suggestions before I do anything.Updating to a new version of WP is always a pain.<br />
After I get that done, I can stop being lazy and start posting some more.  I already have some material ready to be used.</p>
