I know that jokes been done to death but I just had to say it. Anyway the title of this post along with the prevalent theme of my profile page should make the following statement obvious. I like dragon ball. And seeing as I like dragon ball, why not talk a little about the series.

I first watched Dragon Ball Z as just another one of many Saturday morning cartoon shows. It wasn't anywhere near my favorite (which was the original

Vegeta is just awesomeDigimon, but we'll leave that for another blog) and I often missed episodes, losing large chunks of the story before, at the shutting down of Fox Kids I stopped watching the show. My interest in these kinds of things quickly dwindled and I spent a number of years honing another hobby - games. Then - no more than 6 months ago numerous conversations with a close friend of mine turned to the subject of how awesome Dragon Ball Z was. These conversations lead to a spark of curiosity and then the acquisition of the first volume of the series, followed by another, and another, and a few more until I now own up to the perfect cell saga of Z and hope to get the rest and possibly GT after. As I watched and watched, my desire for more grew until I downloaded the entire original manga. Now I have no qualms with doing this as the entire series was never fully translated into English and the elisions that were are now out of print and almost impossible to find. My enjoyment of Dragon Ball Z has lead to me looking up many other anime series' including Digimon, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, Naruto and a couple of others.

TV's are awesome Changing gears, some people wanted to know what I'm planning to spent the muchous moula on. The way I'm thinking at the moment is:
Firstly, a new TV. My 26" SD just isn't great for gaming anymore. I know I wont be able to afford a full 1080p of any size for under a grand, but I should be able to get a nice 32" 720p plasma for $600-700. After that a phone as I haven't had one in about 6 months. I hope to find something that appeals to me for sub-$100. beyond that, I just want to get as many games as I can afford. After I'm done typing this, I'll make a wishlist of games I want and put that up.

Something else I really want to comment about is the hullabaloo that seems to have stirred up over a little game called
Fat Princess is... You guessed it, awesome'Fat Princess'. The core game as I understand it is a quirky take on capture the flag. There are two opposing teams each with their own castle. The princess of each castle is stolen by the other at the start of each round and its the goal of each team to get their princess back, however each team has the ability to treat their captive to a couple of nice cakes and the like, thereby causing her waistline to expand and enemy knights task of carrying her away that much more difficult. It appears that a number of rather silly people have accused the game of encouraging homophobia, hatred towards the obese and a number of equally preposterous statements. I wont say more on the matter because my opinion on the matter has been written far better that I could on my good fiend Subrosian's GS blog.

Just on a side note it was the schools athletics carnival today and I royally sucked, oh well.
Yeah, and pictures!!!!

Bye for now
