Today was the release of the new Morphing pets on Mabinogi’s NA server.  Morphing pets are simply normal pets that transform under certain conditions to take on a humanoid form. The big catch of this is the ability for these pets to use windmill in this human like form. Nexon released 3 morphing pets today.  The Black Wolf which transforms into a werewolf at night in game.  This is the one I chose, its attack power is the strongest of the new pets and has the most inventory room to carry my supplies.

Me and my new Black Wolf named Kiba (Yes inspired from Naruto)

The Persian is one of the other new pets released today which transforms during the day to a cat…human…thing…its kinda cute in a way.  Like the werewolf its transform relies solely on the time of day in game. I bought my gf some NX cash (Nexon Cash bought with real money used to get premium items) and she bought the Persian for herself.  Did not get any screens with her and it summoned

Not had much time to train Kiba...he died on me in battle xD

Last but not least is the Hamster.  Its transform is the most interesting to me.  It is able to transform any time of the day as long as its hunger level is over 95% meaning in theory an unlimited transform time.  Out of all 3 of the pets this one seems to be the most popular.  I am not sure if it is because of the cheap cost in NX or the transform circumstance.  Either way I have seen more of these type than any other.

Mabinogi World’s wiki can provide much more detailed info on the new pets.  Please check it out.

Previously I posted my initial thoughts on the new series K-ON! I was a bit disappointed and wrote it off as a Haruhi rip off.   My opinion was greatly changed at the end of the first season.  I realize the season has been long ended but due to my blogging absence I wanted to say my piece a little late.

After getting deeper into the series I did see character types unfolding to a new level, saw important plots revealed and even earned a new character to add to my favorite list.  (Azusa =3)   The series K-ON! has made a pretty big hit on me and I really enjoy the songs from the show.  My favorite part, is the new Mio figure coming out by Alter.

My main hope is for Azusa though.  I cannot wait to see her XD.  For now I am going to preorder Mio she is too hard to pass up.  Going to order from my new figure store Kid Nemo.

Neko ><

Errrr….yeah I stopped blogging once again.  How horrible of me.  I am going to blame it on me being busy with other things, but in truth I had been doing quite…nothing.  (Got sucked into MMO game).  Anyway, Kairu the Otaku is back again, going to attempt to get this old blog back up and running once more, taking it more into a casual approach.

A little update of whats been going on with me.  I turned 19 so I need to change that in my “About Me” section.  I graduated high school picked up a few small jobs.  Horrible experience they were.  Those readers still in high school…ENJOY IT!!!! Do not bitch about going to school one day you will really appreciate it.  God never thought I would say that.  I worked in a cotton factory for one week.  Yes I said cotton and yes I said factory…and yes I said one week.  It was a horrid experience of monotonous work that never ended popping large blisters (That are still peeling over 2 months later) and working long hours from 11 at night until 7 in the morning.  I ended up getting a job at a local computer store.  Surprisingly being a newly certified technician I only fixed….2 computers in my stay the rest of my time was cleaning.  They let me go after 4 weeks due to lack of business.

All that being said I recently acquired a job working at Wal-Mart, I am work the electronics section from 10 at night to 7 in the morning, part time.  Which to be truthful I have not officially started I got a call today to go in for orientation.  That is whats new with my little old life.  I did buy some figures finally (FINALLY!!!).  Quite awesome XD all I have to say.

Mabinogi Pally vs Dragon

Last but not least I am directing the blog in a MMO direction, the MMO game…Mabinogi.  I play it quite frequently (more than 8 hours a day) and have a lot to talk about.  Plus I want to be able to provide a more diverse blog to my readers since there are tons of more talented bloggers doing figure reviews and things of that nature.  Please welcome me back once more.  Hope it sticks this time.

I was looking around other blogs that I have missed during my absence and noticed a flood of “My Desk” posts.  It originally started with the Danny Choo contest that Mitoko mentioned to me a while back.  I did not have much to post about today to be honest, so here is my small meager desk/home XD.

This is the overall scope of my desk.  I just got a new desk a month or so ago.  I had some money coming in from graduation and decided this would be a decent puchase.  I listen to a lot of music so I have a sourround sound system hooked up to it.  It was orginially bought for my TV, then I had the interesting idea to rig it up to my computer, awesome idea on my part XD.  Wish my desk had more figures and such like most otaku *Sigh* damn being poor.

One of my favorite action figures I have.  The Epyon from Gundam Wing, I used to collect Gundam action figures when I was little and he was one of my favorite ones along with my Zaku.  The Epyon’s leg came off and I know that is not the original sword, but I lost some pieces to the other one.

My other figures I have on my desk, I got more on my shelves above my bed, but this is my desk post, not my room XD.  I will post pics of my room here soon.  I got new stuff since the last people have seen it.

My first wallscroll ever, hangs above my desk you can see.  The small plastic Card Captors stand came from a DVD I bought from Dollar General O_o…I kinda thought that was weird and cool.  My Rurouni Kenshin poster hangs on next to my desk, above it is one of my Shana posters.

My bunny!!!!!! My girlfriend and I bought Skeleanimals representing each other in our relationship.  Her being the bunny, and me the cat.  She bought the bunny first, then sent it to me for me to keep.  Then I bought her the Kitty from KidNemo.  Thank you KidNemo for having it in stock, they are very hard to find it seems, most other places were sold out.

This is my 2nd desk I have in my room.  it is mainly used as a host for our internet.  My usb modem I got from Alltel is hooked up to my computer and set up as a shared connection to my router that broadcasts it wirelessly to the other computers in my house.  The plastic cabinents is where I keep my misc computer parts that I pulled from other computers over the years.

That is my workspace, and home I guess you can say.  Of course nothing fancy, not covered in figma like most otaku (though I wish it was XD) Hope you like ^^

K-ON, the show everyone has been talking about lately, seems to have really taken off.  For once in a long time I was able to hop on the bandwagon and watch as the new episodes came out. Though I must be honest, it really reminded me of a another Melancholy of Haruhi, not that its a bad thing.

I was really surprised to see that Mio became the top character of the show. I did not expect that XD, some otaku I am.  I think she is an awesome character, but Yui is the one who really made me laugh.

Animation in the series is great, character design is awesome, but honestly…story line did not really hit me too much.  I understand it is kinda slice of life, but it still does not grab me too much.  I hope I do not get flamed for saying that. I thought it was really funny that only after ep 3 or 4 came out I saw a Mio doujin already out XD. I have no idea if that is common with new shows like this or not.

Anyway……I love the show, going to keep watching it, I do recommend it to fans of Haruhi, you will really appreciate some of the minor similarities  ^^ Definitely going to do a follow up post based mainly on the characters here soon XD, so be prepared for that.

Wow, it would seem people actually go to my little old blog even as I blissfuly move through my life doing….nothing XD.  I really do appreciate the views I have been getting since I have been away, and also appreciate the comments as well.

Good news though, I am back with renewed vigor.  (Bad news for those who hate me XD) Those who read and paid attention knew I had dial up *sigh* Though that time is over, due to the advancement in my area technology I have achieved one step closer to DSL, it is EVDO.  If you don’t know, google it XD, that is not what this post is about.

All in all, I have been able to keep up with some great anime shows lately, kept more informed of whats going on, and overall dabble my virign feet in the glories of broadband internet.  Which is also good news for the readers meaning I can expand out my blog post topics, shared, media, blah blah blah.

Alright now down the nitty gritty. During my absense, I am sure  my fellow bloggers must have thought “WTF!?” why is that loser still on my blogroll he does nothing.  Which I do not blame you if you removed me.  For those that actually kept me on the blogroll, thank you ^^As a apology to those who I just sorta….blah left I keep my blogroll the same, I do not change one thing, it helps advertise the blogs I used to (and still) love.  If you have any issues, please contact me to resolve them.

As for the blog upgrades and changes.  I will be posting as I have before, getting a feel for posting again.  I might not post everyday as before, but I shall try if I am able.  I am going to change the look of the blog here soon, but first I want to work on my content mainly.

That is all though ^^ please come back and read my blog.  I shall try my best again!!!

Yesterday I was fairly bored and was browsing through my wallpapers I have saved to my computer.  Upon the searching I was in my head trying to picture a nice desktop featuring something…well nice, but nothing too perverted.  I mean yes a half naked anime girl is always nice to have, but not all the time.  Then it hit me.  Halloween is coming up soon, so how about a Halloween wallpaper.  Luckily I had a few and chose the one above.

Most of you know what my desktop looks like, so no need to give a screenshot, plus I am sure most would much rather have a wallpaper without my icons all over it XD.  The timing for a Halloween theme computer was good.  Remember Mabinogi?  That MMO I posted about some time ago, well my girlfriend decided she wanted to play it with me.  She downloaded it on her crazy fast internet nearly 800 Kb/s…*sigh* mine is…3 Kb/s….curse her internet XD.

I got the game updated and noticed that even in MMO land people are decorating for Halloween with the town banners, pumpkins in the town square, as well as the Halloween events taking place.  Though during my play I was showing Michelle (gf) how to play.  Though she figures things out quickly…she is a genious.  Even had a few romantic moments here and there.

My question, do you enjoy holiday events in your MMO games?  Do you decorate your desktop for different holidays?

This is pretty nice, I was just doing my post the other day and took notice of a new “Add Poll” option in the editor.  Those of you who use wordpress are aware of some of the issues posting polls.  WordPress does not allow javascript or some HTML tags due to security issues so when making polls there are only certain sites that work.  Polldaddy.com was one of the main sites.  Well, finally WordPress has made it built into their editor making polls easy to add to your blog post.  I had always wanted to do polls here and there on the blog, but was too lazy to do a lot of searching for one that would actually work.Now that I can do them, allow me to try a poll out for a test run.

For those wondering, this is a picture that a poll has been done on Danny Choo.  Just needed something to test the new polling thing out…..wonder how I am supposed to get the poll itself centered now XD.

The girl on the front looked so adorable I had to get it XD

Right afterschool my mom and dad picked me up.  If you are unaware of this, my dad and mom never pick me up only when they have something planned for me to do.  Well I get outside in the school parking lot then my mom gets out the car and gets in the backseat.  Then I am told to get in and drive to Columbia.  Which is the South Carolina capitol.  When I asked why all I got was “We just want to see it”  Of course having no other option I drove.  This was my first time driving here so I was not really sure what turns to take.  My mom and dad were a bit reluctant to tell me directions.  They wanted me to figure out for myself.

All said and done though.  I drove nearly got in an accident 3 times trying to get home fast enough to catch Michelle after school so me and her could talk.  I hate missing time to talk with my Michelle XD.  Oh well, I DID go to Books A Million on a whim and decided to get some books.  Though I made a mistake.  The series I bought, Kamichama Karin Chu is a sequel to another series.

Too bad I cannot read them yet T_T

I bought the frist 2 books and not sure to read them or not.  Hard to read something that is a sequel.  I did some research the previous series Kamichama Karin is a 7 book series that I can get for around 70 USD on Justmanga.com.  Now I need to save my money XD

I am aware that Google Chrome has been out for a long time now, but I decided to finally try it out for myself and give a review after 2 weeks of use.  My final thoughts on Chrome are this…if you are a sworn Firefox user stick with Firefox.

Google Chrome Browser

Personally speaking I have used Firefox for a long time now. I have always admired the tab system it uses and even though IE now has that system I still enjoy Firefox. I even dabbled a little in using Lolifox for those who might have heard of that. Some of the anime sites I go to now were because they were pre-bookmarked with Lolifox. This is about Google Chrome though.

Could not find a Google Chrome Logo pic.....on Google Image Search O_o

Design was pretty good. They did not make it an exact clone of any internet browsers I have seen. Though the bad thing is that there is only one theme and themes are not easily changeable. There are ways to do it, and I ended up giving mine a Deviant Art color scheme through this site:

Browsing and use were good as well. When first opening Chrome is shows some screenshots with sites you like to visit and site you have last visited. Though might be good for someone who is on a family computer looking at hentai.

Everything seems pretty nice so far, though here is where I ran into a problem. Some of the site I visit ran into some serious problems trying to load. As well as the fact that some pop windows that some sites us e to display smiles were a bit messy for me. My biggest problem was using WordPress. If you look at my previous post there was some issues with the picture captions. I was using Google Chrome at the time. I am a pretty devoted user to WordPress due to the ease of use. When I saw that Chrome was giving me problems I was right back to Firefox.
