Gaming craze in one night

We were doing an experiment on AM and FM modulation and demodulation last week and I was shocked at the name of one of the apparatus! It is called Tenma~~~ Although that apparatus is completely ebil (I still don't know how to use it to measure all the different waveforms after nine hours of exposure =_ =) but its name did make me feel better about the experiment. I wonder whether the machine is invented by a Japanese man named Tenma or something... or maybe its production company is related to Koei! That must be why they are both ebil! I should do a short research on it when I have time. Here are the photo for the Tenma apparatus:

I have done pretty much nothing to share with you guys for now *stabs uni for sucking up her time sooo much*. I am only slightly free today because it's an unusual day off XD! That means I had a whole night free yesterday to play a little! I browsed through many games so I didn't spend much time on one game in particular. I had a go in chasing Shirogane in Izayoi-ki but it didn't seem as easy as I had thought *is at her wtf moments*. Played a little Maihitoyo and stopped playing after a while because the hachiyou refused to speak after chapter one. I was too tired to read all the text! I will attempt it again when I have energy to read Japanese ;;^^. This morning I started a PC game called Engagement on Desert. I didn't really like it at first because the art is a little weird, but thank goodness that I gave it a go XD! The characters are all very wacky and I love the unusual settings of the whole plot! The game looks a little hard though. Well as long as a game captures my interest, I won't let it go until I get one ending at least~ I think I will either go for JunJun's or Nao-nii's or Ishida's ending~ Nao-nii is the most likely one for now *hearts*.

I need to catch up with the new season's anime (I am so far behind with everything *sobs*). Currently I think I will be chasing Marginal Prince (Okki!~), La corda d'oro and Death Note. Should I go after Dr.Grey man too? Is the story good? I need to watch Angelique when I have time... I wish they would release an anime based on Haruka 3 soon! Anyway~ Any other recommendations ;^^?

I am waiting patiently for Haruka Matsuri 06, Hinoe and Isato characters' songs and Sukisho ~Target Nights~ novel to arrive. Yesasia is super slow with my order and I am pretty annoyed. They delayed the shipping to the beginning of November (I ordered last week)! There is a chance that I won't get the first press for the CD too! So sad. If it's not for the novel, I would have ordered it on CDJapan with Haruka Matsuri! I really like the company that translates Sukisho novels in Chinese. They have good translations, they follow all the aspects of the original Japanese version (the front cover and the pictures inside are all identical to the Japanese version) and they use good quality paper! The novels are a little expensive to buy on Yesasia... approximately twice the original price. Yet considering the ridiculous price for shipping to England and Yesasia provides free shipping AND the novels help me tremendously in understanding the drama CDs, I have nothing to moan =.=b. Some shameless advertising:

The fourth novel 'Rain - 1st part' will be released in Novemeber. Can't wait can't wait X3! Finally I can understand why Shinichirou betrays Nanami! Maybe they will release the other side story of Nanami and Shinichirou in the near future. I want more Shinichirou and Nanami fluff *blushes*. Last weekend I was listening to the side story drama CD on Shinichirou and Nanami in uni days. I was soo happy to have understood the entire storyline thanks muchly to the novel v^^v. I will definitely collect the entire series of Sukisho novels *sparkly eyes*!

	ah...Tenma looks interesting. LOL So you've started playing Arabians Lost. I should receive my copy soon~ D.Grey Man is Love...Allen, the hero is absolutely adorable! And so are the other characters and when you see the enemy/evil family together...they make you smile too. ^^; (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Haii I have started the game (and played more just now XD). I am still confused with the whole thing though... I want more time for game-playing T.T. Please tell me how it goes with the game when you have got it~ We can work on it together or something lol. I am downloading Dr.Grey Man now! Really can't resist it soo one more anime added to my list ^^. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Haha! We used that exact same thing last year to do frequency calculations for some circuits. They didn't call it a Tenma though, we had some technical name for it that was less Japanese-ish. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	They always use fancy/weird name for apparatus! This time I have to learn how to use one with a weird name ;;^^. They were friendly last year but now I really want to stab them! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I have ordered all volumes in Japanese last year. They are so rabu rabu! Especially the ones set after the game. God, Sora's and Sunao's "wedding" is the cutest. And they have such a lot of smex, it is just WOOOHOOO! ^-^ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	chiyochi 2006-10-25 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	All...! Wow I never realise you have all of them .! I really can't wait for the company to release more~ I so want to read the wedding one, now something to really look forward to kicks the company hoping that it will translate faster. Thanks for making my day ^__^! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I do have all of them. I am just busy and cannot translate anymore. ;_;!
Too bad they won't get licensed in English or in German any time ever... *sobs* But it means, I must study more!

Catwalk Wedding is the titel of the one. It was the last one released (but I pray there will be more!). Actually it is not a real wedding, Sora and Sunao are alone, but they have lots of smex afterwards (of course). Ha, and it is cute, in the end Nao is not so mean to Sora anymore. ^-^

	Catwalk Wedding sounds very very very interesting .~ Sooo cute! Is it the story after White Flower has finished? I saw a picture of the wedding I think in the artbook and I was thinking how nice it would be if there is a story on it... and now it has come true XD! Gambette in studying!~ For Sukisho it is worth it! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have scanned Sora's and Sunao's wedding, it was a Trading Card however. But the story focuses on Sunao having to wear the dress for a model show as Sora and Sunao are both short on money. ^-^ Actually there are 3 novels after White Flower: Jetcoaster Life, Otona no Jikan and Catwalk Wedding.

Maybe you can try amazon Japan, I am sure that they carry them there but oversea shipping is a lot. I got all the Sukisho novels (in Chinese) from yesasia.com, where the shipping is much cheaper. They may carry the Japanese version as well. But they can be a little reliable at times with getting your items, especially when the items are not new/hard to get. So I recommend trying amazon Japan if you really really want the novels ;^^.

There is no translation for them in English at the moment. There used to be a site that has it but it is no longer there. I don't think anyone has translations for them anymore. Maybe you can try looking for some in the Sukisho community on LJ? There might be some there~

If you just want to get the novel for more Sukisho stories I would recommend you to get the games instead~! The games follow the same storyline as the novels (really exactly the same) and there are voice-actings and cgs and everything! Much better than reading novels in my opinion. Moreover if you don't understand Japanese a lot, you can run the game through some sort of translator to get some ideas of what they are saying. I have never used one before but I am sure that you can get more information by searching around the net. I read the novels just to understand the stories from the game, since I am Chinese and my Japanese is limited ;;^^. You can get the games in PC version and PS2 version and there are a few installments.

Basically the anime is a shortened, simplified version of the novels. The novels expands on the story a lot more and have more characters' development. In the novels Nanami and Shinichirou are lovers as well~

I hope that helps!~ Good luck with finding the novels!

Best place to get Sukisho games... as in to buy them right? I am not sure, maybe himeya or something? They are quite old (PC version that is) so probably a little hard to get. You can get the PS2 version from yesasia and amazon Japan. Maybe playasia has it as well.

To get the game up and running, you need to change the regional setting of your computer to Japan (if you have window xp). Then use daemon tool to make a virtual drive and run the installation. If you got the CD version of it then pop it in and run the installation. There should be a few tutorials on aarinfantasy and http://blgames.ukepile.com on the installation process. So search around and you will come up with something ^^.

	LAUGHS That's not so bad.... I mean, we personalize our machines and mp3 players anyways, right? XD;;; Though, yes, it's a bit strange. EEP. You have 土砂降り LONELY HEART already ;_; or the drama? ...I'll exchange you with the Ten no Suzaku Chara collection XD;? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	chiyochi 2006-10-25 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	To think about it that way... yes... I name my stuffs after characters all the time ;XD! Sachi is looking for the CD? Haii I will upload it for you ^^! Don't worry about exchanging and stuff. Once it has finished I will send the addy to you! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	asaphira_sachi 2006-10-26 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Wah thank you _! O_O Oh man... from the title.. I'd think of a slower song... but it's WAY the opposite ^^; Still, vocals are nice XD~ WHEE (Reply to this)(Parent)

	queenofbatpig 2006-10-26 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Nice! XD Isn't Tenma's element supposed to be lightning/electric too? Good luck playing Shirogane, I really love his ending. It's the first Izayoiki ending I got. (because it's the closest I could get to Yasuhira XD; ) He's such a sweetie, the opposite of his brother but can equally melt your heart~ What's your WTF moment? (Reply to this)(Thread)

I still don't know the relationship between Yasuhira and Shirogane yet, I am having a lot of guesses atm lol~ Hopefully by tomorrow night I will know! Yes his ending is sooo cute (read it somewhere ;^^), totally the opposite to Tomomori... I find it strange that their seiyuu is the same person o.o...

My WTF moment is like the moments that I am stuck in a game ;^^ *stole phase from youkomitsutama*. Izayoi-ki is still a little complicated for me to get used to...

Ok..I understand how you end up broke like me..*Murders Koei*
I so wanna watch Haru Matsuri..Sighz..can someone fly me to Japan the next time round? XD
Marginal Prince!!! OMG! U know the first episode where joshua sang in the rain? I was like =D~~~~~~~~~~~ Okiayu banzai~~~. As for D.gray man, I'd reccomend the manga over the anime. For one I was quite disappointed with the cast..And I think the anime won't have too much info on Allen's past..which is something very closely related to the whole plot. I am not really watching Deathnote cos..err..the anime sorta ruined Light..heh. Plus I gave up on the manga after bk 8..too wordy~
Eheh..have fun with ur games~ I shall wait for ff12..*Kills Square*

Haiii *murders Koei with you!* I have spent most of my saving from last month already T.T... Koei is like a bank that I deposit money to regularly (even though I moan so much but most probably I wouldn't be able to enjoy fangirling without Koei)!
Yes I want to head over to Haruka Matsuri and scream with all the fangirls! Maybe we can go together one day XD!
I was drooling sooooooo much at that in Marginal Prince too! Okki *hearts*~~~ Can't wait for more eye-candy and more Okki lol~ Maybe I will give a go on the manga for Dr.grayman first before downloading all the every eps... *will start digging*
Death Note has made Light soo evil... and his voice keeps reminding me of Tamaki =.=b! But I guess I will continue watching it for L. I have given up on the manga after L dies. I will have to read the rest when I have time.
Ahhh FF12! I have forgotten about that! Waiting for the final mix version. How long will Square take ;.;??

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	samayou_kumo 2006-10-27 11:57 am UTC (link)
	Hahahaha~ Yep, I got reminded of Tamaki when I was watching Deathnote. Finalmix would probably somewhere next year I guess? FF12 should be out soon..though I forgot the exact date. Evil Square..whips out murder knife (Reply to this)(Parent)
