Crescent's Thoughts On: Sarkeesian's "Theft" and the New Game From IntiCreates or Just when Anita Sarkeesian's project couldn't look any more dubious and There is something TOTALLY AWESOME just around the corner.

Before I begin I have some big news... Or at least big news for me. Tomorrow I have an interview for a job and, if all goes well, I can FINALLY start acquiring money... Of course that would also mean I would have far less free time to play video games, watch anime, and review both. But hey, I would have an actual income. But enough about that on to what I'm going to be ranting on about for this week, sorry I don't have anything more interesting to talk about.

Anime Review: Heroman

A new week, a new review. There are a few news items that I want to make mention of, but I don't want to bog down this review with other things so I might make a separate post for them. Other than that, I have my new verdict banners all made up as well as a template for all my review banners that will replace my old ones over on my "Anime Reviews" and "Video Game Reviews" pages, so those will be down until I've finished updating them, which depending on how lazy I am could take a while, but hopefully they will be done within a week. But for now, I present to you HEROMAN! A super hero anime from the most American of all nations: Japan.... wait...

Crescent's Thoughts On: The "Next" Gen or How this "Next generation" of gaming looks surprisingly like the old one.

Which Black, barely distinguishable console do you want to own?

Hi there, ho there. Like always nothing much is going on with my life although you might have notice that there is something slightly different about my blog. That's right, I've changed the Banner as well as my Avatar. I'm also going to change what my "Verdict" banners look like as well as start on the long over due process of actually updating my Reviews list. See the was that some time ago my computer died on me which required me to get another one, which of course requires redownloading everything I had on it including my image editing software "GIMP." Unfortunately, the version of GIMP I got is slightly different as the one I was using, Namely the Sepia tone filter was a gray filter rather than a brownish filter. And I was too lazy to try to fix that problem, so for forever I wasn't creating any new banners for my reviews because it would have look significally different from my older ones and creating new template would have been a whole another ordeal. But now I've finally started updating my blog so expect changes in the upcoming weeks. But for now, there's something else that I feel I need to make mention and that is the "Next generation."

Game Review: Liberation Maiden

Shooter; 3DS (eShop Download); Level 5/Grasshopper Manufacture; 2012

So this review came out of no where. I'm not in the habit of buying games even if they are on sale for really cheap for the sole reason that I don't have any form of income besides what I might fine while walking down the street. Even if the game is only a few dollars I'm hesitant to get it because it could escalate into a hefty sum if I buy too many "cheap" games. However, after a few days of contemplation and the fact that, the Level 5 sale was going to end soon, I decided to plop little over $3 to get a game I had my eye on ever since it was announced: Liberation Maiden. A game made by Level 5 using the whacked out brain of Suda 51. So before I venture forth to try to find $3 on the pavement outside, I'll give you my review of Liberation Maiden and was this game worth my lunch money.

Anime Review: R.O.D. TV

Another week another review. Nothing much to talk about this week, other than the fact that it was difficult to get this review up and running. First I couldn't decide on the Anime to review, then I couldn't remember one of the anime I watch recently, and then I groaned every time I remember the anime we JUST finished watching. Anyway, onto this week's review: R.O.D. also known as Read Or Die.

Game Review: Kirby Mass Attack

Action Platformer; Nintendo DS; Nintendo/HAL Laboratory; 2011

Sorry this review is a day late. Currently my cousin is visiting and yesterday we where snowed in which made getting him out kind of difficult. So I spent my day playing good host to him which included kicking his ass in Persona 4 Arena and Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3. Anyway, this week's review has nothing to do with Marvel, Capcom, or Personas. Instead we have a game about everyone's favorite pink creampuff being decimated. I think that's how you use that word. Anyway, it's time for Kirby Mass Attack (Not to be confused with Kirby Mass Effect where Kirby is constantly walking up to people and saying "I should be going").

Anime Review: Wolf Children

Not much to say this week. My cousin is in town for the next week and apparently between crashing at my Dad's girlfriend's house and hanging out with me and my brothers, he much prefers us so I might have to play host for him at some point during the week. Other than that not much is going on. Which leaves me with no segue into my anime review, so the next sentence is going to flow as naturally as a brick to the frontal lobe. Mamoru Hosoda is somewhat of a rising star in the anime world. After his start as a director for one of the Digimon movies as well as a One Piece movie, Hosoda went on to become what many would consider the next Hayao Miyazaki with such hits as "The Girl Who Leap Through Time" and "Summer Wars." Now with his latest film "Wolf Children" has Hosoda cemented his place among industry legends? Well what do you think the word "Masterpiece" means?
