False start numero tres? Let's hope not

Alright; so now that I'm all settled in with my Homestay in Japan it's time to resurrect this blog and maybe try and keep it alive this time.

I've got a lot of different projects brewing at the moment but due to university work I've been unable to properly pursue them. Specifically, it's my duties as writer for a panamanian manga I'm making with some friends that I've neglected the most; partly because of Uni work but also partly because I've gotten stuck with the script and I'm not quite sure how to continue the story. Hopefully I'll have that out the way before the end of the month. In the meantime I'll leave you guys with a small tease of our artwork. If you like it maybe I'll post some more later.


On a different topic, I've never been that good at strategy games (I'm terrible at micro-managing, especially when it's in real-time) but I recently got really into a tower defense game by the name of Kingdom Rush.


It's extremely fun and well crafted with a simple menu interface akin to the extremely successful Plants vs Zombies but with the more classic, labyrinth ridden, tower defense gameplay. The game isn't all that difficult (although it's not a walk in the park either) with a well integrated difficulty curve that is hardly noticeable as you go about learning the basics f the game. Of special note is the games cartoonish charm, with the towers and units chattering off one liners that are all references to geek culture in general.

Here's the game's trailer if any of you are interested:



As a last note before ending today's post, I recently started watching Dragon Ball Z's 20th anniversary abridged version, Dragon Ball Kai, seeing as it ended earlier this year and I can now sit down and watch it all the way through. I usually don't mind watching my anime on a weekly basis but when it comes to shonen anime and their tendency to be ire inducingly long I prefer to wait until I can marathon through it all. Expect my next post to be on my impressions on this abridging of one of my childhood series.

Until then I'll leave you guys with the opening theme so it can get stuck in your heads as well.
