What subjects will you see here: Anime (a lot of One Piece and FLCL lately), manga, comic books, super heroes, video games, rpgs, jrpgs, books, fantasy fiction, science fiction, creative writing, maybe some of my own fiction if I muster up the courage to share, favorite quotes, hockey, Buffalo Sabres, maybe some personal views of mine, art, illustrations (those that I find worth sharing and tend to be fantasy/sci-fi), concept art (for video games, books, comics, etc), things relating to Iowa and/or Iowa City,aaaand some other stuff but that is most of it.
Got my copy of Pandora’s Tower today! Thank you Operation Rainfall for the hard work you put in to show that America wants gems like these to be available to us! Also, thank you XSEED Games for bringing us The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower. You’ve definitely become my favorite game company with bringing those and all the many other games that no one would (Way of the Samurai 4 as one example - was dying to play it and you brought it). These 3 games have made the Wii a console worth owning and I hope Nintendo gets their act together and brings us more of what we want (another printing of Xenoblade would be great for those unfortunate enough to not get a copy - going for $100+ online - or to make these and other great games available digitally). Enjoy your journey in the Thirteen Towers everyone!

Earth Seeker intro
Why should you care about this game?
First off, this is a monster hunting game by a former producer of Monster Hunter. If you are a fan of that series, or other action/RPGs, you’ll definitely want to check this game out. Also, the art style is fantastic; the team that designed the concept art and final in-game graphics did a wonderful job making the most of the Wii console. Anyone who is down for a huge, action packed adventure, will want to play this game.

I’ve been playing The Last Story on my Wii lately. Game is sooooo good! Have yet to play multiplayer but I think I’ll be giving it a try tonight.
I hope I’ll soon be able to play Pandora’s Tower. I read that the Wii U will have backwards compatibility for Wii games, so why isn’t it being made here yet!?
“Please, Nintendo, may I have some more?”
Such a good use for Oliver Twist haha! Being the huge literature nerd that I am, I had to share this.
this is like a fraction of this one area, at the beginning of the game
Saw this posted on Operation Rainfall Facebook page by someone a few days ago. Made me laugh so I thought I’d share.
I really wish I could purchase Earthbound on the Wii’s virtual console. Really tempted to learn Japanese just so I can play the Mother series and other games not translated into English (oh and watch some fantastic shows like Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai). Yes I can play the Earthbound roms and Gaki no Tsukai fansubs but I’d rather own the games/dvds.
Live Quests. On very rare occasions in Xenoblade, you might stumble upon a live occurring quest while exploring the world. What this means is that if you are at the right place, at the right time, in the right conditions, you might trigger a quest. It will pop up and tell you the details and has to do with a situation occurring close by such as you have to save somebody being attacked by a monster. These appear to be quite rare but none the less, are a nice touch.
I guess there’s still life left for my Wii after all. Hooray for US release dates!
Now we just need to get Pandora’s Tower!
