Dragonball is Back!
2008 11:38 pm est Posted by Seth

I am probably more geeked about this than many of you....unless you are a Dragonball fanatic. I’ve heard some news about this in the past, but on November 24th, there will be a special anime feature of Dragonball!

This is to take place 2 years after the defeat of Majin Buu (the end of Dragonball Z). A Saiyan child has landed on Earth and reveals something shocking in front of the DBZ cast. The Saiyan child is Vegeta’s younger brother! I sure like to know more about this, but November 24th just can’t seem to come any sooner! Here is a source (in English) to view profiles and plot summary of the upcoming feature. Also there is a special feature of “One Piece” and “Letter Bee”. Oooooooo can’t wait!

We’ve Got Updates!
2008 02:36 am est Posted by Seth

Not just small, itty-bitty updates, but actual updates! If you haven’t notice, the site has become a single-column website. Before there was a two-column, but because that wasn’t being used much I decided to take it out. If that wasn’t enough, which I am sure it wasn’t, content in the “about seth” section has been update, and even the portfolio section got a face-lift! New animate pop-up box to let you watch movies by clicking once! No more two-clicking! Go check it out yourselves and enjoy!

Updates Soon
2008 03:06 pm est Posted by Seth

Never late the ever! The days has been going by and at times, I don’t even know what day it is. Moving along, expect to see a website update by early winter. Not just adding flare here and there, but....well you’ll see soon enough :D

So has anyone played the demo for Little Big Planet? Lot of tutorials they give you but otherwise a fun, creative game. I am actually pretty excited, though it was announce there’s a week delay because of a background music’s lyrics. So fixing that and it is out on the shelves.

Things to Come
2008 12:52 am est Posted by Seth

I thought I give out the report on what is going on now. First off, Block “O” update is live but only 88% complete. Still a few things, such as sporting event pages and photo/video gallery, to still add. It will soon be added to the portfolio section.

Another website is next in line for a design, actually more of a group of friends and I creating. It will be a video game review website called “Sparkling Ramen”, we tend to get this up and running within the next month or so.

Next should be an identity system that is currently in the works, for an interior designer back over in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After all this and trying (and hoping) to learn Flash’s Actionscript 3.0, I am looking to create Oranges Designs 3.0. I can’t make any promises when, but all I can say right now, I am looking into it.

I will say this, doing all the projects above + my full-time salary job + football season + video games + weekly anime shows = I have a life?

Oh and how about that Rock Band 2 coming out today? Pretty excited about that. As for the OSU vs. USC game, don’t get me started.

MEEEEEEGAAAAA MAAAAAAAAN! MEEEGGAA MAAAN!! THREEEEE!!!

Part three!

2008 11:00 pm est Posted by Seth

Earlier in the day I was complaining about not a demo of Final Fantasy XIII, well looks like I got my wish. Square announced at their private party that the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will come with Final Fantasy XIII demo.

Banzai!
Problem is that the Blu-Ray movie will be out March 2009 in Japan. North America release? Hmmmm.... fall 2009? No word yet on the oversea release.

Final Fantasy versus XIII Still PS3 Exclusive
2008 08:12 pm est Posted by Seth

Final Fantasy versus XIII, no relation to the original Final Fantasy XIII, is said to be still “exclusive to the Playstation 3”. Well we heard that before when Square-Enix said FFXIII was “exclusive”. Who knows what is going on with the minds of Square-Enix, but don’t be surprise if this game does eventually become a “multi-platform” like Final Fantasy XIII did. We just have to wait till the closer the game is being complete.

To those what is “Final Fantasy versus XIII”, it is a different game that is not a sequal to FFXIII, has it’s own independent story and characters, plus it is more of an action game than a typical RPG. The creators and workers from both “Kingdom Hearts” and “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children” are working together on this special project.
