Vampire Knight

   Yet again, it's been a while. This time I have a valid excuse for being delayed. I'm not always on League like a freaking zombie anymore, this time I actually got started on some good mangas and I'm learning how to speak Japanese so I've been keeping myself busy people.

   I'm not here to bore you with these excuses though. I'm here to talk about the wonderful manga I've just finished. Yes, finished up till now at least. I devoured Vampire Knight like it was candy. It is just that great. I'm a super huge vampire freak anyway, but I'm telling you that it is a really good manga because it's not that girly in all honestly like most guys think when they see a vampire novel or manga. It's not Twilight reincarnate people. Now, I admit there is a love story involved, at least, I think there is. It's hard to tell when she's swapping guys up all the time and making you fall inlove with one guy then he turns out to be super bad and you spend half of your time confused, but it's a good sort of confusion.

   Wow. I haven't even started discussing the manga itself. Well, there are 3 really important people that you absolutely will have to know: Yuuki Kurosu, Zero Kiryuu, and Kaname Kuran. All of the action, well, I should say most of the action takes place at Cross Academy where both vampires and humans attend school. The humans during day time and the vampires at night. Yuuki and Zero are part of the day class and it is their job to make sure none of the humans go snooping around at night for a glimpse of the beautiful vampires. Kaname is the leader of the vampires, but this doesn't make him a bad guy at all. In fact, he actually loves Yuuki and keeps the vampires well-behaved.

   Well, I'm afraid I can't give away too much information because that will ruin the whole story. I admit this manga even surprises me with how things turn out. If you're one of those lazy people that would rather watch the anime than read the manga then you will be pleased to find out that there is an anime and it follows the manga plotline very well. At least as far as I have made it through the anime. I spent more time devouring up the manga. Now to give you some visual imagery to make you even more interested :p.

LoL Champion Obsession

I haven't posted a blog in months and for that I'm sorry. I've been so busy with homework I haven't had time to do the things I would normally do and unfortunately, I'm still kind of obsessed with League of Legends which I've already blogged about, but I decided I would find some sort of inspiration to blog again so now I'm here to discuss my latest champion obsession on League.

Talon!

Talon is my first PVP champion. I bought him not long after I started playing LoL and was still very new to the game and I must confess I was not very good with him at all so I barely played with him for a while. Eventually, I was able to find a good build for him and I began to slaughter with him so I decided that when I started playing PVP, he would be my sole companion and I haven't lost a game yet. I admit, Talon is extremely hard to be good with so don't get discouraged if you're not very good with him at first.

I'm uploading his Champion Spotlight so you don't have to get bored with my rambling on and on about him :). Just remember, practice, practice, practice.


Talon Champion Spotlight

League of Legends

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I last posted and to tell you the truth, school starts back in two days and I don't know when I'll be able to post again.

     At first I was struggling while coming up with an idea to blog about because the boyfriend got me obsessed with League of Legends, a.k.a LoL. Then, I realized something...I can blog about that! I'm so smart sometimes I amaze myself :p.

     Anyway, the game is amazing and it's free to play which makes it even more amazing. Of course, you can always buy champions and skins, but why pay actual money for something when you can play in game to earn influence points to buy stuff? I'll never understand. The game is pretty much straight forward once you get the hang of it which is great. The first time I played it, I felt so lost. Instead of making a single character and raising his stats like you would do in Oblivion, you become a summoner and you get over a hundred champions (so far) to choose from. It's great! Then, as a summoner you earn a mastery point every time you level up which you can put to offense, defense, or just utility so basically, it's like leveling up a character.

     This game is absolutely amazing, but there are some annoying things about this game. First, PVP is positively Hell. Everyone acts like they are absolutely perfect and you're trash. One tiny mistake sends them spiraling on a tantrum filled with all sorts of insults not only directed at you, but your whole team. God forbid that you lag one tiny little second. It's enough to make anyone report you on the spot. Second, this game eats up your internet so you better hope that you're the only one using the internet so yeah that means getting on at 3 o'clock in the morning, but hey, you're used to that. You're not used to an instant crash whenever someone pulls up the interent on the iPhone. Like seriously?

      Still, this game is great and I encourage everyone to give it a shot.

Kekkaishi

Sorry people about the super long delay, but I've been so busy and then busy relaxing that I don't have time to do anything other than work, eat, sleep, and spend the few days I can with my wonderful boyfriend.

Anyway, my newest craze has been this wonderful anime called Kekkaishi. I've been watching it for a while now, but I just recently started acquiring the seasons and rewatching them with C.W. so that he can see how wonderful the series is. Netflix is amazing. You pick an anime you want and I swear they probably have it. Now, I'm mostly referring to the popular ones. Don't try looking for anything still in Japan or whatever because you probably won't have any luck finding it.

Moving on, Kekkaishi is about two kekkaishis (obviously) protecting the Karasumori site also known as their high school. The main characters are Yoshimori, a 14-year-old middleschooler, and Tokine, a 16-year-old highschooler. The kekkaishis are your typical teenagers during the day, for the most part, but at night they go out to their school and protect it from deadly ayakashi, essentially demons. The series is great because it does have some action in it so it's not like it's just for the girls. My boyfriend can actually sit and watch this weird series with me, he even so kindly pointed out that in a lot of ways it's like Bleach.

Now, I don't watch enough of Bleach to sit down here and type an entire paragraph on all the similarities and the the differences like he did so you're just going to have to watch it and decipher it for yourself. I'm sure you will not be disappointed :p.

Brave

Now, I know this is a kid's movie and here I am, a grown adult (well mostly) praising this movie. I loved this movie. Mostly because I love girls who can fight for themselves and Scotland is beautiful. The story itself was a little odd at times, but the ending made up for all of the weirdness. I even cried! I would even go watch it again. Next time, I'm dragging my boyfriend though :p. Well, I'm not going to spoil the movie. This time you're going to have to just see for yourself.

John Cusack's The Raven

This movie was super great and I don't care what anyone else says. I thought it was absolutely amazing! Cusack makes a pretty good Poe. I'm not personally a huge Cusack fan or anything, but considering we don't know hardly anything about Poe anyway, I think he did an amazing job.

 So from the very beginning, I knew Poe was going to die in the end. It was just so obvious. Poe sitting on the park bench with it snowing. Another great thing about the movie is that it goes through some of Poe's life. It tells about Virginia and his time in the military. Of course, when you don't have much to go on and you're trying to make a movie, you don't really have much of choice on what to leave out or not.

The ending was even more amazing! My brother and I were so amazed when the killer's last name was Reynolds. It just made everything fall into place. I was so impressed that I didn't even want to leave after the credits started rolling. So can't wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it all the time :p.

KAMI-CON!

So this obsession has been an ongoing obsession for at least 3 years now, but considering I just went to Kami-Con yesterday, it just has to be my newest blog obsession. OK, so if you're a nerd, you'll know exactly what Kami-Con is, scratch that, if you're an anime nerd, you'll know exactly what Kami-Con is. For those of you, not in the "nerd-herd," it is quite simple to understand. Take all of the anime nerds in a close proximity and give them a whole weekend and a convention center then bribe us with free screenings of the most popular animes, cheaper mangas, and all sorts of anime merchandise at discounted prices and ta-da, you now have a Kami-Con. Not much different from Comic-Con or Dragon-Con, except Kami-Con revolves around anime characters. Of course, you'll always see your decked out Star Wars freaks, but then again who can deny that Star Wars is absolutely necessary for nerds of all kinds. Put Star Wars together with Vampire Knight, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and all of the other great animes in the world and you've just made my whole year. Considering Kami-Con happens once every year.

Can't wait for next year!!!!
