Kotobukiya How to Make Figure Book

As I wrote yesterday, I got something else in the mail besides my Little Busters! pillows and that was a beginner’s guide to figure making by Kotobukiya entitled Figure no Tatsujin: Shokyuu-hen (フィギュアの達人 初級編, Figure Expert: Beginner’s Chapter) or How to make Figure if you want to use the slightly Engrishy title. With tips and …

Little Busters! Pillows

Today I regrettably move one step closer to actually buying a dakimakura. Instead of spending money on an expensive body pillow and cover, I opted for the more economical and less ronery option of getting cushions. In this case, they are a standard-sized pillow and a miniature one featuring Noumi Kudryavka and Nishizono Mio respectively …

Scarlet Meister

Starting playing a new doujin Touhou shooting game developed by “Hard-cover ha Donki” (ハードカバーは鈍器, Hard-cover is a Blunt Weapon) called Scarlet Meister. Unlike The official Touhou games, Scarlet Meister is a side-scrolling shooter instead of a top-down one. I haven’t really played these types of games too much so I really suck at SM but …

最近の趣味

ボクは最近忙しくなったから、宿題や勉強したくなくなるとアニメを見たりコンピューターゲームをしたりする。 先週、ボクは「アイスペース」って言う新しいゲームを始まった。まず自分のキャラを作った。キャラは「本屋」と呼んで、髪が金色で目が紫の女の子だ。アンケートを答えた時、ゲームが始めた。Second Lifeのように、アイスペースの中に買い物に行ったり、人々と話したりすることをできる。 新しい洋服や家具を払うためにクエストって言うことをする。NPCキャラを手伝ってあげちゃったら、少しお金をもらう。でも時々ボクは漢字を読めないから、クエストをあまり分からなくて、大変になる。だからゲームをしながら辞書で漢字を訳す。 そのおかげで新しい漢字を読めるけど今もボクは遅すぎると思っているし、本物の日本人と話すのが上手じゃないし、もっと漢字を勉強すればよかったよ。だから冬休みに漢字の本を買ってから一日に二時間勉強するつもりだ。 ボクは面白い練習だと思っているから、皆さんもアイスペースをした方がいい。4チャンネルで待っているよ!
