About Me
Nintendo gamer for life, begrudging owner of a PS3, aching for games for both of my consoles. Sigh.

I'm all about the RPG's, starting with Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG, all the way through Final Fantasy 6-12 (skipping 11) and ending up with Persona 3 and Ar Tenelico. Square is where its at, as long as its premerger. My opinion thereafter is low at best.

I'm also a HUGE anime fan, getting my cherry popped by a set of Dragonballs and a transexual boy/girl named Ranma. In the intervening years I've discovered the greatness of 'School Rumble', 'Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien', 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya', 'Elfen Lied', and basking in the glory that is 'Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'. I try to empty my wallet as quickly as possible collecting inglorious amounts of PVC statues and figures.

Speaking of statues and figures, I write features on Tomopop.com. I make your taste buds dance and sing. I also occasionally review stuff for Japanator.

Enough pimping, let's rock!

as I'm under the stress of finals, this won't be a substantive post, however I'd like to post this
pic of a cake my girlfriend made for a recent party.

As my girlfriend and a friend of mine wish to create a business of cake making, they decided
to start practicing on my friends and the multitude of parties that we have. Considering that
most of my group are Ninty fans, the decision to create a Wii cake was made in short order.
Unfortunently, time was also in short order, as due to work and school, there was only 8 hours
to decorate the cake. However, I think that they did quite an amazing job, considering the
time restraints.

I'll post more pics when I get them from her camera, but as you can see, there is a system, a
wiimote and nunchuck, as well as a pile of games. The angle doesn't show it, but along with
the painted cover of No More Heros, the spines of several other games are painted on the left
side of the pile. I truly felt bad eating this cake, since it was a work of effort and love on her
and my friends part.

Edit: More pics! The last one is my girlfriend and my friend who worked on the cake about to leap into a freezing pool at 2 int he morning.

Psh, not even a 360. The Wii signifies how far she's going to go to please you. See what I did there? :P

@ BlindsideDork
I tried fooling around with the code, but nothing I did worked and it would still look like ass, so I just loaded the pics seperately. But yah, I'm not letting go of this one, she's a keeper ;-)

@ nintendoll
My girlfriend is an art student down here in Miami who just happens to be a helluva cook. She's decided that she's interested in cake making, possibly even going into business with a like-minded friend of mine.

@Yashoki
Don't worry, if a Wii cake doesn't suit your tastes (hurr hurr hurr), the next project in consideration is a 360 cake hooked up with LED's, flashing those 3 wonderful lights that we've all come to know and love...not so much.

@ Cheeburga
With a shit-ton of work, lemme tell ya.

@ Mxyzptlk
Thank ye, though the fellow in the pic isn't me, it is the other fellow involved with the cake operation. I am much heavy and hairier, not a good combination when it comes to photographs.
