End Of Scanlation?

A coalition of manga publisher already made its movement. They succesfully forced OneManga.com offline.

One Manga posted an announcement

It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it.

We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site.

I think this will have impact on the publisher too. Honestly, I also read manga scanlation regularly because i must wait about 2 years or so until the manga avalaible in my area. In worst case, the manga i read will never come to my area. So sad. -.-

“39’s Giving Day” Concert – Expensive

On March 9th 2010a Vocaloid concert event known as 「Miku no Nichi Kanshasai 39's Giving Day」 was held at the Zepp Tokyo music hall. Well of course i download the nico-nico broadcast of it. It is amazing concert, really.
The 「39’s Giving Day」 concert will be released on Blue-ray, DVD and CD on September 2010. The price is.... err like usual Japanese Blue-ray, so high. *sigh*.
For the Blue-ray version you should prepare about 7,350 JPY, while a DVD version just cost a little cheaper. But if you insisted, you can buy a CD version for 3,150 JPY, sigh... its only CD version though.

ESA Banned DS-ROM from ROMULATION.net

Romulation.net, a site provided its user with tons of ROMS, recently disabled its links of DS ROM. The site's says :

"The goal of RomUlation has always been to provide users with an opportunity to try out games in order to determine whether it is a game worth purchasing or not. We have always respected when publishers or developers felt RomUlation did more harm than good to the sales of their product.

The owner of this game contacted us with concerns that our service was doing more harm than good, so as per our goal and beliefs we have complied with their request to remove their intellectual property.

This currently covers ALL of the NDS games.

We understand that this may frustrate users who were looking for new games to test but we hope you also understand that this is both necessary and in accordance with our beliefs."

Is it going to be the end of RomUlation.net?

[E3] Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - DS

Detail :

Nintendo
Level 5
Genre : Puzzle
Release Date : September 20, 2010 (North America)

Okay this game caught my attention, so I decided to make a preview of this one. :D

Summary

Another game of Professor Layton already here and will be available in North America in this fall.

Story

At the start of the game, Luke received a letter from his future self, but this is just one of many mysteries that player will have to solve. The duo will have to lead to London to see the unveiling of the Time Machine invented by Dr. Alain Strahngun. But things go horribly wrong, and now Luke must follows direction that were given by his future self to see where it all leads.

Game Play

If you already play the series, you will feel familiar with the interface. Stylus used through the game, such as tapping a shoe and clicking around the touch screen to find coins, talk to people and solve puzzle. Now you can 'buy' a super hint for two hints coins once you cannot solve the puzzle by using three initial clues. Well, for the cos of two coins it is not so bad, and also you can save the time.

From GameSpot.com

The first few puzzles were fairly easy, ranging in the 10 to 20 picarats range. As usual they test your critical thinking ability but really, sometimes it's about reading the question carefully and finding the right approach. We look forward to playing more of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future and we will soon when the game is released September 20.

After Exam ~

Yeah akhirnya hari terakhir UAS. Biarpun masih ada satu tugas bikin game lagi, -.-, ama satu programming task.

Vocalogenesis, yeah akhirnya ini album vocaloid yang dapet peringkat pertama di oricon chart 18 May 2010. YEAH! Tapi torrentnya baru kelar di download dua hari yang lalu. Jadi baru kemaren bisa nikmatin nih album. xD. Yah kalo punya duit banyak juga mending beli yang asli tapi sayangnya duitnya gak banyak makanya cuman bisa norrent saja. -.-.

Sebenernya banyak yang bilang ni album overrated. Tapi, siapa peduli yang penting albumnya vocaloid berhasil diakui peringkat satu pula. Udah gitu ini album ngalahin albumnya si Justin Bieber (bener gak ye namanya) . GYAHAHAHAH. xD.

Kalo saya tidak kuliah di tempat kuliah yang menyenangkan ini (Fasilkom) pasti sekarang udah tinggal guling-guling aja gak perlu lagi ngerjain tugas. -.-, hell yeah.

Ngomong-ngomong kemaren berhasil memanfaatkan lab di kampus buat nonton Evangelion, (semoga dosa saya dimaafkan, xD, saya tidak tahan melihat monitor kayak gitu.). Tapi 20 menit terakhir terpaksa dipending sampe rumah karena ada sedikit unsur nudity, biarpun itu monster. -.-.

Haduh kok kok jadi random gini yang diomongin yak, mari kita bahas lagi vocalogenesis. Lagu-lagu yang menarik salah salah satunya track 2. Judul nya 初音ミクの暴走 (gak tau cara bacanya xD) yang mengingatkan ama lagu OP-nya lucky star. Terus adalagi mix nya lagu 1 / 6. Yeah kalo akhir juni gak sanggup kumpulin duit buat beli blue-REI nya evangelion yah bakalan dialihin buat beli ini cd aja palingan.

Sampe sini aja dulu postingannya. Semoga tugas terakhir yang mesti diselesaikan bisa kelar hari ini.

Evengelion 2.22

Akhirnya, setelah nungguin ini anime sekian lama. Keluar juga dvd & blue-ray Evangelion 2.22. Tapi sialnya seeder-nya cuman 3 biji dan leechernya lebih dari 2700 orang dan bakalan terus bertambah. -.-, sepertinya bakalan ngabisin waktu seharian ato nyampe dua hari lebih buat kelarin ini torrent.

Tahun kemarin kan yang Eva 1.0 berhasil di puter di blitz, yang 2.0 bakalan diputer juga gak ya? Menyebalkan sekali tahun kemaren gak punya duit buat nonton Eva 1.0, -.-. Biarpun waktu itu udah nonton duluan di komputer, tapi tetep aja beda rasanya nonton di layar lebar ama di layar 14 inchi. Udah gitu speakernya biasa pula.

Jadi curcol kan, okeh kembali ngebahas eva 2.22 lagi. Tapi apaan yang bisa dibahas nonton aja belom. -.-. Tapi baca dari review-review yang ada sih yang ini banyak action-nya. Yah yang penting cepatlah kelar kau torrent, biarkan saya menikmati rei, eh maksudnya Evangelion. :p

20 jam lagi baru kelar torrentnya. Itupun kalo lancar. Okelah sambil nunggu belajar lagi buat UAS besok.

Hello World. xD

Yeah, enggak tau kenapa tiba-tiba pengen bikin blog pengen nulis-nulis dan semoga ini blog keurus gak kayak blog-blog yang dulu dulu. xD.

Hello worldnya segini dulu aja deh, dan semoga ujian besok bisa lancar.
