<p>Hello everyone! My name&#8217;s Nobu.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m friends with <a title="Ted" href="http://mayflower.p-kit.com/page76098.html" target="_blank">Ted</a>, one of <a title="Mayflower英語教室" href="http://mayflower.p-kit.com/" target="_blank">Mayflower</a>’s directors (along with Ryu, and <a title="Robert's blog" href="http://mayflowerrobert.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Robert</a>.). He and I studied entrepreneurship at business school together.  I decided to join Mayflower because I would like to support Ted’s taking a step forward, towards his dream. I also sympathize with <a title="Mayflower's educational policy" href="http://mayflower.p-kit.com/page0003.html" target="_blank">Mayflower’s educational policy</a>, one important aspect of which challenges me to study entrepreneurship through English.</p>
<p>Quite simply, I must improve my English, because I am involved in a business which requires me to use English. Through my studies here at Mayflower, I am gradually becoming more interested in English culture. Right now, I cannot say what I feel freely in English, but this is changing slowly.</p>
<p>OK, now let&#8217;s get down to business!</p>
<p>Have you seen Michael Jackson’s movie “<a title="THIS IS IT" href="http://www.sonypictures.jp/movies/michaeljacksonthisisit/" target="_blank">THIS IS IT</a>”? Well, I did! And I was knocked out by Michael&#8217;s performance! So today, I would like to share my fascination of music with you through my own performance. I know what you&#8217;re thinking&#8230;I may not look like the King of Pop, or even a musician, but actually, I like playing the piano and writing songs, and I always want to share my compositions with others.</p>
<p>Although there are good services such as <a title="MySpace" href="http://www.myspace.com/" target="_blank">MySpace</a>, which give amateurs an opportunity to introduce their songs to the world, I thought it was too late in my life for me to make a band, and that I couldn&#8217;t make music by myself.</p>
<p>Well, last year, I was asked out of the blue by an old friend from high school to play together (piano and guitar) at a music event in <a title="Kanda, Tokyo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanda,_Tokyo" target="_blank">Kanda</a> which took place on a shopping street. Now I&#8217;ve already done that kind of performance three times since the end of last year. Amazing!</p>
<p>Through those musical performances, I gradually began to enjoy having a relationship with people through music.</p>
<p>Of course, my first performance was not quite as sweet as I pictured it would be. I couldn&#8217;t keep the tempo, and I forgot to play some parts. In fact, I was really disappointed at my performance. And that’s not all, the atmosphere of audience looked a little too heavy, because I failed to capture their attention with my floundering.</p>
<p>But did I give up? Not on your life! Let me tell you what I did to overcome my problem.</p>
<p>I realized that confidence and relaxation are a must! So I arranged a cover song in a way that was easier than the original, and I composed a simple song of my own using a similar chord progression on the &#8220;A section&#8221;, and the main phrases. Then, I learned it by heart.</p>
<p>Well, because of my efforts, I believe I had some kind of breakthrough at the second performance, because the organizer told me and my friend that our performance had improved, and some audience even clapped their hands during the performance. That felt great!</p>
<p>At that time, I understood that I feel more relaxed if somebody helps me or supports me. So I invited 10 friends of mine to the third performance, which turned out to be around half of the audience!</p>
<p>Through my performances, I realized that getting some feedback about my compositions from my friends is a really satisfying feeling.  They said lots of great, supportive things &#8212; that I could make fresh pop songs like <a title="Yuzu" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzu_(band)" target="_blank">YUZU</a>, and that my main phrases were catchy &#8212; so because of those comments, I slowly started to have confidence in my skill as a composer.</p>
<p>On top of that, doing more performances meant having more opportunities to have relationship swith people through music. For example, other performers invited us to perform together with them in the future, and my friend invited me to join an event that he was holding featuring sansin performances.</p>
<p>Don’t you think its exciting when what you love creates bigger chances to work with others? In this case, taking a step forward means boldly knocking on a door that you have never opened before.</p>
<p>I encourage all of you to try doing what you want, and try say what you like! Life is all about introducing new worlds, and new experiences to each other! And I think that&#8217;s exactly what we are doing together here at Mayflower.</p>
<p>Thank you for your attention!</p>
<p>[After the Q&#38;A session, Nobu gave the Mayflower audience a fun performance on his sanshin! Thanks, Nobu.]</p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Blablabla&#8230; Passe chez moi&#8230; Blablabla&#8230; signé le tigre, l&#8217;ours, le griz]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Blablabla&#8230; Passe chez moi&#8230; Blablabla&#8230; signé le tigre, l&#8217;ours, le grizzli <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif' alt=':twisted:' class='wp-smiley' />  !&#8221;</em>. C&#8217;est suite à un sms/coup de fil de cette nature que je me suis rendu chez Yamazaki93 <a href="http://console-league.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=189749#p189749" target="_blank">le vendredi 13</a> dernier &#62;_&#60;, 2 jours après la <em>Session des Titans #3 </em>et 2 jours avant le <em>Bushido</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Après m&#8217;avoir offert le petit déjeuner, on a commencé directement le défi sans passer par la case freeplay. En bon sac, pour éviter de me prendre un 10-0 d&#8217;entrée, j&#8217;applique souvent cette méthode, car je sais que mon jeu brouillon et incohérent le perturbe souvent et qu&#8217;il met du temps à s&#8217;adapter. Technique bidon. <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">10-0</span></strong> cash, la lose. Le pire dans tout ça c&#8217;est que je ne pense pas avoir particulièrement mal joué&#8230; Je me suis mangé pas mal de nouvelles carottes, surtout le Tatsu ex après un coup sauté pour casser mes déchoppes -_-. J&#8217;ai aussi trouvé qu&#8217;il s&#8217;était pas mal amélioré dans son jugement des distances. Beaucoup de ses combos sont passés au millimètre près <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230; Le défi fut très expéditif&#8230;  Ouiiinn &#62;_&#60;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Je me devais de réagir&#8230; La riposte ne tarda pas&#8230; mais fut brève -_-&#8230; Deuxième défi. J&#8217;ai dominé la première partie, à un moment le score était de 5-3 pour moi. Mon bussiness de points s&#8217;est ensuite rapidement effondré&#8230; J&#8217;en ai marqué que deux par la suite, lui sept <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> . Score de fin <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>10-7</strong></span>. Je dois reconnaître qu&#8217;il a un poil moins bien joué que lors du précédent défi, peut-être parce que j&#8217;ai été capable d&#8217;imposer le rythme sur beaucoup de matchs ? Dans la foulée, on a refait un 3ème défi. Même si le score est moins bon <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>10-2</strong></span>, j&#8217;ai plutôt bien joué dans l&#8217;ensemble.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Je trouve son <em>Ryu </em>meilleur qu&#8217;il y a 2-3 semaines, date de notre<a href="http://bachaka.wordpress.com/2009/10/26/rename-card-yamazaki93-yamazaki92-1/" target="_blank"> dernière rencontre</a>. Il s&#8217;est bien remis de ces dernières déceptions en tournois (<em>MGS </em>et tournoi <em>Maxxi Games</em>) (lol) et est décidé à tout gagner et régner <span style="text-decoration:underline;">sans partage</span> sur la scène française <em>SF4</em>. Le retour de <strong>Yamazaki93 </strong>? Wait and see&#8230; &#62;_&#60;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Après ce défi on a fait une pause de 30 minutes au cours desquelles il m&#8217;a expliqué pas mal de trucs: conseils sur les punitions, le zoning, le piff en moins etc&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>pas mal tu t&#8217;es amélioré ,ça gérait pas mal de ton coté mais attention aux headbutts <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif' alt=':twisted:' class='wp-smiley' />  .<br />
et comme je t ai dit passe definitivement aux stick impossible de faire ou plutot de maitriser dash ultra avec un pad 360 de base.<br />
tu seras beaucoup plus fort en integrant ce genre de phases sur les hadoman .<br />
utilise la super sur les boules aussi saaac :icon_mrgreen:<br />
et apres la focus des que ça rentre dash stand hk ect&#8230;. , ou combos headbutt pour mettre au sol<br />
<strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">il faut arracher la barre</span> .</strong><br />
en tout cas&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>merci d &#8216;etre venu mon punching ball préféré <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Merci beaucoup pour les conseils sac, surtout celui que j&#8217;ai mis en rouge !</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pour le 4ème défi il a décidé de me montrer sa <em>Viper</em>. J&#8217;aime beaucoup jouer contre les <em>Viper </em>car leur vie fond à vue d&#8217;oeil sous les coups de mon <em>Boxer </em>lol. Plus sérieusement, c&#8217;est un versus dans lequel j&#8217;arrive toujours plus ou moins à m&#8217;en sortir. Il considère <strong>2Pac </strong>comme un très bon joueur et s&#8217;est dit étonné que j&#8217;arrive à avoir l&#8217;avantage sur lui. On est arrivés à la conclusion que c&#8217;est parce qu&#8217;il ne maîtrise pas vraiment le versus <em>Balrog</em>&#8230; Concernant la <em>Viper </em>de <strong>Yam93</strong>: elle a level up O_O&#8230; Même si il reste beaucoup de trucs à régler lol. C&#8217;est la première fois qu&#8217;une <em>Viper </em>résiste à mes phases piffées -_-&#8230; Enfin bref, <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>10-9</strong></span> pour lui. Son éventail de phases s&#8217;est étoffé avec elle, mais j&#8217;ai trouvé qu&#8217;elle avait surtout gagné en fluidité. Si il la joue un peu plus, ce serait un intéressant 2ème perso, plus que son <em>Gouki </em>qui convoite aussi cette place ^^;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pour les 3 derniers défis il est revenu sur <em>Ryu</em>. J&#8217;ai beaucoup peiné pour éviter un 3ème 10-0 :/. Les scores furent successivement <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">10-2</span></strong>, <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>10-2</strong></span> et <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>10-1</strong></span>. Bilan: jeu pas suffisamment varié, et trop de faiblesses facilement repérables et exploitables par l&#8217;adversaire&#8230; Pauvre de moi &#62;_&#60;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Merci beaucoup pour la session <strong>Yamazaki93</strong> aka<em> T.O.G.B</em> (<em>T</em>igre, <em>O</em>urs,<em> G</em>rizzli, <em>B</em>ébête) , ce fut très instructif !</p>

<p>Poco a poco nos va llegando nueva información sobre la &#8220;versión extendida&#8221; del sensacional &#8220;Street Fighter IV&#8221;. La revista japonesa &#8220;Famitsu&#8221; ha publicado una serie de imágenes en las que se presentan 3 luchadores nuevos: Adón (el temible alumno de Sagat), Guy y Cody (los protagonistas del legendario &#8220;Final Fight&#8221;). En el caso de Cody desgraciadamente será igual que en &#8220;Street Fighter Alpha 3&#8243; : un ex-presidiario (que poco creible resulta el giro a este personaje).</p>
<p>De momento parece que <a href="http://imsai8080.wordpress.com/2009/10/01/capcom-anuncia-super-street-fighter-iv-¿alcanzara-la-perfeccion-esta-vez/">mis predicciones sobre la nueva plantilla de luchadores</a> se van cumpliendo parcialmente (esperaba a Haggar en lugar de Guy). Lo que os puedo asegurar es que entre los próximos personajes que van a presentar seguro que, al menos,  un par de ellos procederán de &#8220;Street fighter III&#8221;.</p>
<p>La suma de 8 luchadores nuevos,  el aumento de modos de juego, el reajuste de personajes , las nuevas fases de bonus&#8230; todo apunta a que las mejoras serán suficientes para que &#8220;Super Street Fighter IV&#8221; sea tan exitoso como su antecesor, superando lo que era prácticamente insuperable. Lo podremos comprobar en la segunda mitad de 2010.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Almost everyone has heard of the early 90s phenomenon that was <a href="http://www.streetfighter.com">Street fighter II</a>, and those in the know have all seen just how embarrassing the Jean Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue live action film of it was. Us faithful fans determined to put the film in the forgotten area at the back of our minds, alongside most of Guy Ritchie&#8217;s works.</p>
<p>Feature length adaptations of video games has always been a bit of a balls-up. The difficulty of transfering a video-gaming audience to the big screen has proven to be immensely tricky as video games have a very personal feel about them, something that makes you want to sit and play regardless of what is going on around you. In many ways they have a private relationship with the gamer, a relationship which doesn&#8217;t transfer over to a wider audience no matter how widespread the success of the game was. Just look at Van Damme&#8217;s live action Street Fighter movie.. or worse yet Dwanye Johnson&#8217;s <a href="http://www.doommovie.com/">DOOM</a>.</p>
<p>Luckily the other day my housemate dug up his old copy of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0837485/">Gisaburo Sugii</a>&#8217;s 1994 animated movie Street Fighter II.</p>
<div id="attachment_123" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 338px"><a href="http://mattpriest.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/100_1875.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-123 " title="100_1875" src="http://mattpriest.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/100_1875.jpg" alt="" width="328" height="437" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Now imagine this DVD cover with 3D glasses on...</p></div>
<p>The beauty of this adaptation is that it doesn&#8217;t try to be anything other than an on-screen representation of the video game. What it offers is the dream match ups that you want to see (Ken-Ryu, Chun li-Vega, Bison-Ryu), but not only that, it gives you tremendously in-depth fighting sequences littered with all the trademark moves from the game that will have the fanboys (such as myself) squeaming in their seats.</p>
<p><strong>Animé vs live action (Round 1: Fight!)</strong></p>
<p>Ok, admitably the whole film is strung together by a just about bearable storyline, but in a strange way that&#8217;s why it is such a stand out reworking of the idea. We didn&#8217;t play the video game for its complex storylines and sense of fulfilment after flying to Thailand to have a three-round battle with M. Bison that mostly involved jump kicking him to death whilst pinned in the corner. This is the problem that the live action version of Street Fighter fell down, and why an animated adaptation of it is the only true way to do the game and its fan base justice.</p>
<p>What I found most surprising was just how violent the movie was. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I was under no illusion that I was going to watch a film that centres around violence (the title gives it away somewhat), but with the ability of computers to leave out blood if required, I was a little shocked. I also caught myself laughing out loud at the swearing on the English-dubbed track.. genuinely surprised to hear Guile calling Bison a &#8220;b*****d&#8221;, but it just makes this film more endearing. I think the film is quite rightly given a 15 rating in UK and a PG-13 in the US.</p>
<p>The film also has an absolutely rocking soundtrack that accompanies the animation in a brilliantly stereotypical way. Every shot of Ryu training in solitude up in the mountains (and yes, there are alot of them) is accompanied with a traditional Japanese sounding pan flute. While in contrast every scene in America is backed with blaring rock music.</p>
<p><strong>Verdict</strong></p>
<p>This movie is everything that Street Fighter should be.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Hace un rato me llego una propaganda de un nuevo pack de trajes de Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 . . . en Japón. Pero me puse a investigar y al parecer este pack llegara a America la proxima semana en alrededor de $4 dolaritos. ASi que si quieres vestir a Ryu y compañia un poco mas monos, adelante.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Por cierto tengo algunos wallpapers de muy buena calidad si alguien los quiere deje su comentario y correo correcto, y con gusto se los envio.</p>

Vi uma vez este trabalho incrível,  é uma compilação de vários jogos do Street Fighter com o personagem Ryu. Em produção por quase dez meses, o vídeo — montado pelo fã “Majestros” — aborda não só todos os jogos da série Street Fighter, como também os Vs, como “X-Men Vs Street Fighter”, “Marvel Vs Capcom” e até “SNK Vs Capcom”.</p>
<p>Este vídeo é megaboga F*d@#%, uma seqüência de golpes apelão duca..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-825" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/s1030486.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Le MGS 09 a fermé ses portes il y a déjà deux semaines et il était temps de faire un bilan de cette mouture 2009. C&#8217;est la deuxième fois que j&#8217;allais au MGS (la première fois remonte à l&#8217;édition 07) et je peux le dire d&#8217;emblée : cette édition était meilleure sur tous les points. Explications.</p>
<p>Venant du Sud de la France et étant un client Gold, j&#8217;ai eu droit à deux entrées offertes, l&#8217;accès à la nocturne et un tarif réduit sur les entrées : en effet, tous les provinciaux payent le prix de la journée au tarif d&#8217;une demi-journée. J&#8217;ai choisi le week-end en tant que places gratuites (matin et aprem&#8217; donc vu que je suis de province) et n&#8217;ai eu qu&#8217;à payer 5 € (le tarif de la 1/2 journée le vendredi) pour avoir un pass 3 jours. Sympa <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Venons-en au salon à proprement parler : il y a deux ans, il avait lieu à La Défense ; cette année c&#8217;est à la Grande Halle de la Vilette que ça se passe et autant dire que c&#8217;est une bonne chose car le lieu est beaucoup plus propice aux grands évènements avec un plafond surélevé empêchant les bouffées de chaleur, car du monde il y en avait (500.000 personnes au total).</p>
<p>Après une vingtaine de minutes d&#8217;attente, j&#8217;entre et les stands se comptent par poignées. Les jeux à tester sont nombreux et parmi les jeux jouables je peux citer God of War III, Heavy Rain, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Silent Hill Wii, U-Sing, Zelda Spirit TracksDante&#8217;s Inferno, Left 4 Dead 2, Avatar, Band Hero, Modern Warfare 2, Bayonnetta, Battlefield Bad Company 2&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-826" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/s1030526.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Comme il y a deux ans, il y avait des projections privées de certains jeux et s&#8217;il y a deux ans, j&#8217;avais pu assister à la projo du premier Assassin&#8217;s Creed, cette année c&#8217;est Assassin&#8217;s Creed II qui était dévoilé. Le jeu était présenté par l&#8217;un des dirigeants du projet et il a bien insisté sur le fait que la répétitivité du premier opus était ici corrigée. Ezio, le nouvel héros, dispose de plusieurs armes et les missions sont plus passionnantes. J&#8217;achète.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-828" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/s1030521.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Autre projo incontournable, celle de Super Street Fighter IV présenté par Yoshinoro Ono (le papa de Street Fighter) himself ! Il a présenté trois des nouveaux persos sur les huit qui seront inclus dans cette refonte de SF IV : T.Hawk, Juri et Dee Jay. Le jeu était présenté en exclu européenne et quelques joueurs ont pu tester ces nouveaux combattants. SSF IV corrigera le mode online de SF IV avec des lobbys et la possibilités de se réunir à plusieurs dans une même salle pour faire des tournois. Le prix sera amoindri pour essayer de faire passer ce gros patch sur disque. Heureusement.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-827" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_0765.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Mais la présentation que je retiendrais, c&#8217;est celle de Final Fantasy XIII qui promet de déboîter sévère (09.03.2010 ! ) tant graphiquement (la transition scènes cinématiques/temps réel n&#8217;est pas du bluff) qu&#8217;au niveau de son gameplay. Final Fantasy XIII a donc toutes les cartes en main pour être le sauveur du RPG nippon sur consoles HD.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-829" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/s1030535.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Splinter Cell Conviction était aussi dévoilé histoire de donner encore plus envie à ta CB de passer dans un lecteur de cartes. Exclu Xbox 360, ce nouvel opus de la simulation de cache-cache semble radicalement différent des anciens épisodes avec une partie action plus prononcée.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-830" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/s1030507.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Cette année, le MGS n&#8217;a pas hésité à faire venir du monde pour en rameuter : Ono-san, David Guetta et même Egde pour les fans de catch ou Guily pour les fans de foot, tout le monde avait son compte. Il y avait quelques animations dont un quizz sur le stand JVN avec la présence de la rédac de Consoles+ ou du magazine officiel Xbox et j&#8217;ai pu y gagner une manette pour la 360 en participant à un quizz. Au niveau des personnalités, notons aussi la présence de Julien Tellouck, Marcus, Julien Chièze et Sinik :weshgros:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-832" title="MGS 09" src="http://sonofageek.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/s1030639.jpg" alt="MGS 09" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Cette édition 2009 du MGS était donc une franche réussite car elle a permis une fois de plus de pouvoir tester toutes les nouveautés à venir histoire de savoir quels jeux seront achetés prochainement. Pour ma part, Assassin&#8217;s Creed II m&#8217;a convaincu : j&#8217;avais peur d&#8217;une redite du premier mais les mécanismes dans le gameplay semblent prometteurs. La présentation de FF XIII m&#8217;a rassuré et ça promet d&#8217;être un très grand jeu, je suis conquis.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Alison Torrance was sat at her desk filling out forms, checking the information streams and waiting ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Alison Torrance was sat at her desk filling out forms, checking the information streams and waiting for the security teams to give the all-clear to close off the museum&#8217;s entrances for the night. The museum was quiet after hours, and she relished the opportunity to set to the work which had accumulated during the day. The soft whine which breathed lightly through the PA system, a holdover from the previous administration, cut off before she had the opportunity to activate the shutdown sequence. Alison looked at the vent above the door, wondering why it would switch to a sleep sequence before time.<br />
Her comm crackled, then fell silent in synch with the lighting system failing. Plunged into darkness, the museum suddenly felt much quieter than it had ever been, a graveyard of artifacts.<br />
&#8220;System restore.&#8221;<br />
Silence and darkness answered her command.<br />
&#8220;System restore.&#8221;<br />
The computer system ignored her, devoid of power.<br />
&#8220;Damn it, this place is a-&#8221;<br />
She hushed herself before the word &#8216;museum&#8217; could emerge, but the thought of how antiquated a museum&#8217;s security and power system could be was humorous nevertheless. Walking through the backrooms uncovered a lack of staff, though they were, she assumed, busy trying to get some of the power restored by way of the emergency generator. It still felt strange, and too quiet.</p>
<p>Something moved in the darkness in front of her, and she cursed the lack of a flashlight amongst her emergency supplies.<br />
&#8220;Hello&#8230;&#8221;<br />
The bouncing creature came into view as it paused in front of one of the large windows which dotted the corridor. A small pink rabbit glared at her, blinked twice, then vanished back into the darkness again.<br />
&#8220;Ryu, what are you doing back here. Hey. I&#8217;m talking to you mister.&#8221;<br />
The quirky nature of the robot&#8217;s behavioral system had been annoying, but somehow the cuteness factor which radiated from Ryu prevented the critter being reprogrammed. Alison regretted not having the software checked out when she had the opportunity.<br />
Feeling her way in the darkness, Alison soon found the doors to the basement.<br />
&#8220;Are you guys down there?&#8221;<br />
Silence and darkness were becoming a recurring theme. Alison sighed.<br />
&#8220;So not funny. You want to tell me how things are going down there&#8230;&#8221;<br />
Still no answer. Alison began imagining strange things in the darkness, and faced having to either force herself to continue down into the dark or find help somewhere. The latter became the clear winner when strange noises from the bowels of the building reached her.</p>
<p>Moving through the corridors, Alison reassured herself. &#8220;It was the building cooling down for the night. It was some stupid robot lost in the basement. It was a loose wire slipping from the wall. It was-&#8221; A noise ahead, beyond the doors leading into the main foyer, broke her train of thought. A surge of adrenaline shot through her.<br />
&#8220;Hello.&#8221; She whispered.<br />
Muffled movement and more darkness. Alison pushed forward through the darkness, determined to exorcise any fear of the half-visible world which she now found herself in. Hushing down the worried thoughts threatening to take her over, she opened the door to the foyer. The Tyrannosaurus rex which greeted visitors to the museum stood before her, head lowered, apparently lost in deep thought. Ridiculous notions flooded Alison&#8217;s mind.<br />
&#8220;What are you doing all the way over here.&#8221; Trying to stay calm wasn&#8217;t helping.<br />
&#8220;Welcome to the Kitzmiller Museum.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Rex, it&#8217;s me. Miss Torrance. What are you doing?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;This is the museum. I am welcoming you to the museum.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Yes. I get that. Why don&#8217;t you go back to your post now, I&#8217;ll get the lights working as soon as I can, okay? There is nothing to worry about.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Okay.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the dinosaur moved off Alison wondered about the response. Okay? Since when does an artificial respond with something so&#8230; Human. The small pink motion of Ryu rushed across the foyer, vanishing into one of the galleries at the other end of the large hall.<br />
&#8220;He went thataway.&#8221; Alison mouthed.<br />
From the direction Ryu disappeared to came a scratching sound. Alison carefully made her way through the foyer, determined to locate her staff and get to the bottom of the problem besetting the museum.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-137" title="n174751" src="http://otherpeoplelikeit.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/n174751.jpg" alt="n174751" width="316" height="483" /></p>
<p>Ryu Murakami is one of my favorite authors.  He is sometimes known as the &#8220;other Murakami&#8221; due to Japan&#8217;s most famous author, Haruki Murakami (<em>Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore, Wind up Bird Chronicles</em>) having a similar name.  To add, they are of similar age.  I enjoy Haruki very much and find him immensely talented, but Ryu&#8217;s heights as a writer are so much more epic.</p>
<p>The first book I read by him was <em>Coin Locker Babies, </em>which I will review on its own.  Since then I have read everything of his translated into English that I could get my hands on.  He is delightfully fetishized with a scary amount of realistic knowledge of the depraved mind.  His books tend to run the gambit of murderousness and sexuality, but those don&#8217;t necessarily need to be the focal point.  His characters have such a deep well of emotional background that the full picture is there on the pages before you.  Forget setting the scene, though he is good at that as well, its just that seeing things through his character&#8217;s eyes can be disturbing and gut wrenching because of how close to home the emotions can hit.  Many of his characters are psychotic, and many of their decisions are made by that crazy mind, but its seems like Murakami consistently wants to remind you how little different you are from certain aspects of their madness.</p>
<p>Rationality plays a large role in his novels, but it isn&#8217;t the rationality of a person we know, just portions that together make a monster.  <em>Piercing</em>, first published in 1994, translated in 2007, starts with Kawashima, a new family man, standing over his baby lying in the crib.  Kawashima is holding an ice pick trying to convince himself not to stab the baby.  Through faulty wiring, debased reasoning, and a troubled past, after having avoided stabbing his child, he concludes that he needs to stab someone else in order to stop the original urge from taking over.  He tries to carry out his lethal tendency on an unsuspecting S&#38;M call girl but sson realizes she has problems of her own.</p>
<p>The book touches a lot on what childhood abuse can do to a person and the emotional and physical pain that will always live beneath the surface waiting to escape like a separate person shoving you down one path or the other wanting you to fight back so they can make things worse.</p>
<p>I know this book is too disturbing for many people, it even got to me at points and I have read many other books of his.  I don&#8217;t think it is his best, but it is a quick read and unless you get sick, hard to put down.</p>
<p>It is supposed to stay in your mind for a while.  Supposed to leave a dirty feeling all over you. Supposed to make your skin crawl.  Just like the title, the book achieves all of these.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I am a practitioner of Wado. It&#8217;s a style of karate created by Hironori Ohtsuka in the mid 193]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I am a practitioner of Wado. It&#8217;s a style of karate created by Hironori Ohtsuka in the mid 1930&#8217;s (though was not officially established until the 40&#8217;s, post-war). I have been training in this style for over 5 and a half years.</p>
<p>When you consider I am 18, it is quite a bit chunk of my life I&#8217;ve dedicated to Karate. I achieved my 1st Dan a year ago, becoming the first in my own club to achieve this rank (I was one of the longest training students). Needless to say it was a proud moment for both myself and my instructor (as I was his first fully trained black belt &#8216;apprentice&#8217;, if you would).</p>
<p>A year on, now, and I&#8217;m running the club alongside a 4th Dan and another senior black belt who passed in March. Events dictated these circumstances, having to manage 35+ pupils with little experience in actually teaching them. We had assisted in the past, of course, but never taken the full class. I&#8217;m thankful we had the 4th Dan with us, otherwise we may not have been able to cope      :/</p>
<p>Anyway, I digress, Wado taught me that you do not need a large body or strong muscles or a long wind up to execute a powerful punch, kick&#8230; strike. It uses elements from styles such as Jujitsu to transfer your energy through your opponent. Rather than forcing through an opponents guard, a fast, stinging technique will have the ability to damage one far more than a drawn out attempt to attack. The unison of movement, ichi-o-su (excuse the spelling), allows the user to cause more energy to be transferred to the opponent (ie Damage them more) by landing and striking at the same time, rather than allowing energy to flow forward and down as you land, then summoning a whole different energy as you try strike.</p>
<p>I love Wado. I would say it is superior to any other style, because I have not had any sufficient experience in any other style. It has its positive points &#8211; it is lighter than many other styles, allowing many of its practitioners to rule at tournaments, on the other hand, its Kata do not succeed as much due to their lightness (ie un-exaggerated stances).</p>
<p>I will carry on practicing Wado, it&#8217;s part of my life now, and I will never let it go. I don&#8217;t know how I will do it while I&#8217;m at Uni, especially if I go far away&#8230;</p>
<p>I recommend Martial Arts to anyone who is interested in them. The physical and mental aspects are more than worthwhile. Be careful though, there are many fakes out there who will take your money for minimal return. Always double check their background.</p>

<p>P.S. As you might notice by now, this isn&#8217;t purely a gaming blog, I blame the fact that I can&#8217;t change it now&#8230;</p>
