Hello, and welcome to Yamcha's Anime universe! Some of you may know me from visiting my Myotaku page (username: Yamchaa), but if you havent visited or dont know me, then thats cool too lol. Im a big anime fan and ive been one for as long as i can remember. I collect anime movies, magazines, figures, all things related to anime, and im proud to say that i have a pretty hefty and diverse anime collecion which is usually constantly growing, and with this new world i hope to make new friends and spread my knowledge of anime to whoever may need it ^_^
Ive been neglecting to post this week, so i figured today would be a good day to put up a post and let you all know what ive been up to lol.
I just finished uploading my first Youtube video lol. i know some of you dont even know what i look like in real life, so it may be a shock for some of you lol. Yesterday i was going through some unlabeled vhs tapes i had recorded on and i was labeling them and updating my MyAnimeList.net anime list. While i was rewinding and fast forwarding through the tapes, i came across a recording of the anime film/OVA called Macross 2: Lovers Again, which i thought i didnt have. To jog your memory about the movie - a few years ago i had set my vcr to record the movie from tv, but i must have gotten the tapes mixed up because this whole time i had believed that my vcr never auto-recorded it. Apparently it DID record it and it had been hidden along with the other unlabeled vhs tapes on my shelves. So while i was labeling the other tapes and watching Macross 2: Lovers Again, i figured id see if my webcam would record video correctly. This video is the outcome lol. It's just a few seconds long, but you get to see me in all my anime glory - still labeling anime vhs tapes the same why i always have lol. I was sitting on the floor, leaned back against my futon lol. You can see some of the tapes stacked up by my feet.
The thumbs up is for all of you guys here on Theotaku that keep me going lol
There isnt any sound in this video because i havent found my mic yet, but rest assured my next video will have sound :)
Othere than making that video, i havent been up to much.
On an ironic note, Recently i had been getting the strangest urge to watch the anime movie Castle in the Sky , and Sunday afternoon while i was looking it up online to find out little facts about the movie, i noticed that sunday was the 23rd anniversary of the film. Yes it was created August 2nd 1986, and it was so ironic and strange that i would get the urge to watch the movie on August 2nd 2009 lol. I was chatting with Xaos about the movie when i came across the info and he agreed that it was pretty cool and wierd as well lol.
Later that day i watched my vhs copy of Castle in the Sky and remembered just how awesome the movie is, was and always will be :)
Tuesday morning i bought Dragonball Evolution before i came home from work. i was weary about buying it, but my curiosity of how Yamcha was portrayed in the movie finally made me give in and buy it lol.
Here is my unbiased opinion :)
Overall it was an alright movie, there were funny parts, cheesy parts, and the fighting scenes were done ok. some of the characters were pretty cool - Master roshi was enjoyable to watch and so was Bulma lol. Goku, ill admit was hard for me to look at without laughing a bit, like it was inside joke or something, but i forgot about everything else once Yamcha popped up lol. I actually feel that yamcha was portrayed well in the movie. He had an attitude, street smarts, and he was pretty funny to listen to as well lol. As a whole - i didnt find anything that i hated about the movie, but i do feel that it seemed a little short and rushed. It was an ok watch and it gave me something to do while i was here at home being lazy after work :)
During the week ive also been playing Legends of Wrestlemania on Xbox360. I just have 4 more Achievements to unloack and ill have unloacked all of them, which is pretty cool. Last night at work, me and one of the guys i work with finally finished playing through Gears of War 2 , with CO-OP Campaign Mode. That has been really fun to, it has also been alot easier playing co-op because two human controlled characters can really do alot of damage thats for sure lol. Since we have beaten all of the other Xbox360 games i own, We will probably just play Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009 until i buy the UFC Undisputed 2009 game again.
Other than that, ive basically just been taking it easy and being lazy lol. Since tommorrow is my birthday ill probably be extra lazy tommorrow lol. I always do something nostalgic on my birthday, so ill most likely find an anime movie in my collection that i havent watched in years and sit down and watch it while remembering the days when i first started my anime collection. One of the first anime series i recorded just came to mind, so i may just watch that tommorrow morning when i get home from work :) Ill be sure to post pics of the tapes i recorded that series on and tell you guys some nostalgic stories of the beginning of my anime collection too lol.
Earlier this week i also made some wallpapers, so feel free to check them out and let me know what you think lol.
Well, i suppose that will be all for today's post, i thank you all for visiting and i look forward to posting tommorrow on my 26th Anniversary LOL :) I hope to chat with you all soon :)
This post has actually been a few days in the makingbecause alot has gone down since this past weekend, so ill try to get it all into this post the best i can :)
Frist off, Id like to thank you all for helping me reach 3000 visits. I know that may be chump change to some of the members up here, but its pretty cool for me lol.
Last weekend i also reached the end of Gears of War (xbox 360), I didnt beat it though - I ended up turning it off because i was tired, and eating and chatting in theotaku chatroom all at the sametime , so something had to give lol. I couldnt save the game anyways because i still dont have a harddrive or memory card, so i didnt feel so bad about turning it off lol.
I actually ended up staying in the chatroom basically all night until 7am the next morning, which is quite a feat for me since i tend to sleep quite a bit, but something special happened saturday night that got me pretty excited lol.
Well, what got me all excited was that while i was in the chatroom, i was chatting with a few different people about my original Yamcha profileand how one day 5 years ago it just quit working on me and i couldnt log into it anymore, but somehow it still stayed active. Well SunfallEasked me about it while she was in the chatroom and checked it out. After a few minutes and some Help from Adam, she let me know that my old original profile was accessable again. apparently there was an underscore in front of the screen name _Yamcha, that conflicted with the system, combined with me possibly forgetting my password hich had caused the problem lol.
Logging into my old profile was like opening a treasure chest lol. It was a door to the past, that i had pondered for 5 years if it was ever possible to be opened again and almost exactly 5 years to the date, Fate would have it's way and present me with what i had yearned for, for years :)
Ive updated my original Yamcha profile, and ive also created a world that links my old profile to this new profile. I even updated my original Myotaku page by changing the look and theme to coincide with my other pages :) The past and present meet as one and all of the links to each page can be found at the top of this world in the introduction section, so be sure to check them out if you want :)
Sunday i really didnt do much lol. After staying up all night, i fell asleep and ended up waking up around 4 in the afternoon sunday lol. I spent most of sunday evening doing most of the updating on my sites, as well as chatting and watching movies.
I watched
Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves Interview With the Vampire
i enjoyed both movies, especially because it had been a while since i had watched either film, so it was pretty fun to be lazy and watch them thats for sure lol.
Monday i basically slept all day again, but yesterday I decided to pull out my vhs copy of the animated movie i have called Heavy Metal. Ive never really watched this movie completely through, i decided to try it yesterday. i watched about 30 minutes of it before i fell asleep, but from what i watched of it, it seemed pretty psycadelic, and music -videoish. There was alot of nudity and violence and it also had alot of science fiction themes to it. It's very different than alot of the other stuff ive seen, but somewhat enjoyable in different aspects. ill have to finish watching it today so i can tell you all what i ultimately thought of it :)
Hevy Metal
A pic of my Laptop with my external dvd drive lol (i know its a random pic lol)
Well, I think that will be all for todays post, i think im going to get something to eat and watch this movie before i get too tired lol. I thank you all for visiting and i hope you all enjoyed the post :) Im also glad to be able to share my original Yamcha profile/Myotaku page and world with you guys. I know it may not seem like much , but it's the beginning of my history here at theotaku and it is really exciting to be able to share it with you all alongside my new profile :) i hope you all enjoy :)
