If you haven’t heard about this news from Danny Choo long before, well here is the slowpoke update by me heh. May’N is having her Asia tour for 2010 and coincidentally, her Malaysia stop is on the same week as my birthday. Needless to say, especially from my previous postings of May’N, i am definitely going to this concert and no doubt ill be attempting to score first row seating’s again. I mean, i did it for AFA 2008 and 2009, gotten her signature (oh lol whiteboard rage), gotten a couple of her singles, might as well already right? rofl

Anyways for those who doesn’t know who May’N is (oh how could you ) visit her official blog/website here, and the official tour website which also contains her profile.  She is going to be making 3 stops for her Asia tour which is:

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: March 7th

Hong Kong: March 19th

Taipei, Taiwan: March 21st

And the following press release quoting from danny choo.com:

(18th January, 2010) The organizers of Mayʼn BIG☆WAAAAAVE!! Asia Tour 2010 are excited to announce Mayʼnʼs first ever concert tour of Asia, which promises to deliver the latest hits from her chart topping repertoire of successful music releases. Her first concert of the tour is scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the 7th of March 2010, while her concert in Hong Kong will be taking place on the19th of March 2010, followed by the concert in Taipei, Taiwan on the 21st of March 2010.

“After my Budokan, to come to Asia again is a great honor for me. I love Asia and look forward to be connected with everyone all around the world through my music. I look forward to meeting everyone! Letʼs sing together!” Translated quote from Mayʼn.

For her Asian tour, Mayʼn will be delivering a full concert experience, featuring specially choreographed dance moves and exclusive performances. Extremely popular with the Asian audience, Mayʼn has performed to sell-out concert audiences of over 5,000 twice at Singaporeʼs annual Anime Festival Asia event, and full house audiences in South Korea and Guangzhou, China.

Set to perform to a full house at Japanʼs iconic Budokan Concert hall to an audience of over 9,000 on January 24th this year, the concert follows suit her latest chart topping releases of her latest album “Styles” (Debut at #7 on the Japan Oricon Charts) and her Anime Macross Frontier mini-album “Universal Bunny” (Debut at #3 on the Japan Oricon Charts).

For the full official press release, visit here.

Speaking of slowpoke though, i am quite disappointed in the fact that concert details for Hong Kong (which is taking place on March 19th) is already out while Malaysia that’s taking place on 7th March is still lacking any info at all, be it location, or ticket pricing. I guess its built within Malaysian blood for slow poking literally everything? oh wells.

Anyways from Danny’s post itself, see if you can spot me(don’t cheat XD):

Also having a Lowyat.net thread, Linkinstreet from wakarimasenlol got a picture of her AFA 2009 concert from Music Japan Japanese broadcast(IINM) which i also appeared in:

See if you can spot me in this lol. If the resolution isn’t helping, the original size is available here, from the LYN thread post here.

Hope to see you guys in Malaysia (or hey, you guys over Singapore/Thailand, or anywhere for that matter! ) going even if you’re not a fan. Supporting this concert is indirectly supporting other artists that may potentially come over to Malaysia depending on how successful this concert goes. Will most likely make a new post or updating this one once we get info for her Malaysia concert, here’s to hoping for a good pricing/location for her Malaysia concert. ^^

3. AFA’08 + May’N VIP passes another update Sorry for the belated (almost 1 week! >_<) update...

From Spice and Wolf II Blu-ray special 01 i present you: Sleeping Horo! Ain’t she adorable? :3 Seriously though, Death Meets Moe just went through some rather major updates and optimization and the most apparent one would be the site’s loading improvement. (which i am still working on improving it further)

Out of random: Time to time, and especially lately, I’ve been randomly getting comments/praises/questions if I’m a designer or something, I’m really flattered to say the least, and thank you for the kind words. However not to disappoint (idunnolol), i work as IT support and my creativity is by no means anywhere the level of an actual designer would be. The site, and everything on it (be it my photography) is entirely my hobby/passion, and I have received a TON of help from my Danish friend Jesper (Aphexdk) upon creating this site. If you want to get to know an actual professional designer, you could probably check out Valho’s site.

Anyways back to the actual news post, I am sure frequent visitors would’ve noticed the occasion side bar breaking and comment section going bonkers on the colors etc. Well that’s all done (for now anyways heh) and the sites fully updated with the latest word press 2.9 and having its theme and layout tweaked a little. Not to forget, as mentioned above, i have moved all the site’s counter/statistics plugins/widgets to another isolated page so it will not load/called upon on any pages and its resulting in huge performance improvement to the site.

As quoted from the new ‘DMM Site stats‘ page if you haven’t been there already: (do pay it a visit, it’ll be a little surprising )

note: This page works fine with Firefox and Chrome but for some reason IE 8 (I am not even going to bother on anything lower than 8 now, sorry) will not display the right sidebar showing some weird ’Message: ‘gadgets’ is undefined’ error. You can go compatibility mode to get it out, however it just completely ravages the sidebar/site layout which is pointless. It only happens to this page and things will go back to normal once you navigate away by clicking ‘Home‘ or the title above the header itself (which im even linking it within this note too.

If you happen to know a fix, do let me know via: http://www.quazacolt.com/aboutcontact-me/

while (LayoutFuxored==1 && browser==IE) {changeBrowser()}

Of course, this wouldn’t be happening without a few great people helping me along, and in no particular order, i would like to thank Exiled_Gundam, Jesper (Aphexdk), Dominik, you guys have been great help for sure, so again, thank you very much. (and Happy belated birthday to Exiled Gundam ^^)

=update=

If you are still encountering layout/css errors/problems, do refresh your browser as it is most likely using an old cache. Oh and somehow the ‘read more’ function decided to broke on this post, which i fixed it manually later oTL

Finally got off my slacking rear to post up Blazblue Comic Fiesta 2009, and all in all, it was a really enjoyable event with the folks from The Figure Mall (TFM)/Little Akiba (LA) as usual, and if you’re wondering about the post picture, yes, i spent literally half day, on both days, playing Blazblue with fellow TFM member Franstormer and Sichiri at Game Axis booth (thanks fatcat Lim XD) LOL! Don’t think i am going to do much writeup/coverage considering the above with the remainder of my time spent manning at TFM figure display booth, you know, my precious figures were on display too and the so called “barricade” this year was even worse as it is capable of sending shock waves through our line of figures and having many close calls D:

Regardless, I still took a decent amount of pictures and it will still be worth the read up and i will be breaking them down in to “sections” so you may just focus on particular sections that interests you.

Main event: Comic Fiesta itself

Well, overall i would say it’s much better than the previous CF08, be it the event itself, or from my own part, i mean, i had to run around snapping in PNS and being in the same terribad lighting that is Sunway Convention hall, the pictures were entirely bad. This year though, at least i have a DSLR and while the lighting conditions were as bad as ever, at least i can still make due with some post processing and editing of the RAW pictures taken.

Staging was definitely better, as it was accessible from anywhere in the hall, so you can still catch the action wherever you are. And even the artists (which is the main ‘theme’ of this ACG event, art) have seen a lot of improvement than before, which includes but not limited to the doujin section.

I didn’t really went around and snap on every possible good artwork i come across as the doujin area is off limits for photography (which i am not sure if the media/blogger pass would exempt from that rule) and the ones displayed on the center section, like the one shown above, all come with spotlighting and it was REALLY HARD to get a good shot at it and not to mention the post processing phase to get the spot light glares off so that you may see the art instead of the glare.

Anyways i believe it had been voiced by many regarding the hall:
- transportation towards Sunway isn’t easy
- again, lighting lighting lighting, BAD!
- figure displayers: dust, seriously. so BAD. the amount of dust your figure can rack up in a day of display within sunway hall, would take at least a week+ should i display it in my own room outside my detolf glass case. and my room is fairly dusty.
- another figure displayer complaint: barricade. per figure, would easily cost up MYR300 to even 600+, in which some or most are really limited edition figures in which money would not even measure up should any accidents happen. If CF does not care about us bringing our own personal collections for display, i don’t think i (again, this is from my own personal viewpoint, NOT TFM as a group) would like to contribute in future figure displays.

Aside the above few complaints, i believe CF committee had done a really good job this year around in terms of improving the event as a whole. Of course, you can’t possibly please everyone, however if you’re at least trying, and there are improvements, i guess its better than nothing.

Moving on: Cosplayers

This year we’ve seen an increase in good quality cosplayers and while i may not be able to cover on all of them, other sites from linkinstreet/valho had done a really good job in said coverage and you may visit their site instead.

From my own shots, i have misshermes’s Anya from Code Geass, gender bended Yukimura, cosplayed by Annie, and Sheryl Nome, which i faild in not asking her name:

Excuse the mediocre pictures, harsh direct flash is a pain to PP, and again, terribad hall lighting. The only problem i had with cf09 cosplay was a Rachel cosplayer that, well, was really huge, and i (sadly) could not even tell if ‘it’ was a guy or gal cosplaying her. And yes, brain was damaged quite badly. I mean, no offense, but Rachel is a very small vampire loli, if you really have the passion to cosplaying, you would start shaving some size to better portray the character you are cosplaying, not outright murdering it. Oh, and guest18, which i will not further describe it as my brain was already hurting enough for even typing this out.

Speaking of Rachel Alucard, yeap, Blazblue

Had LOTS of fun at Game Axis booth playing Blazblue which i have recently came to enjoy thanks to Sichiri spamming poison of it. And that game had the most crowd on both days, which is pretty understandable lol!

Almost finishing this post, Solomon and Crimotaku dual Storm Troopers

As with most Malaysia ACG events, you will almost always see our very own ‘Dannychoo.com.my’ in his storm trooper suit. This time however, we’re graced with not 1, but TWO of them

Finally ending this post, with TFM x LA, with our Figure Display

As with other major ACG events, you will also come across TFM and this time, along with their newly launched LA, with its boss beansprout:

If you don’t include the heart pounding shock wave events, i really had a great time with the people at TFM/LA. Just wished that CF would provide a little more on the display part, considering the things mentioned above. Anyways, an overview on the figure display we had:

For the rest of the figure display pictures, please do visit the gallery link right below. And thats it for Comic Fiesta. Hope you guys enjoy the write up as with my other previous postings ^^

3. Comic Fiesta 2008 Updates Ok to you disappointed readers, first off i apologize...

It’s almost as if 2009 new year was just yesterday with the coming of 2010 new year, time does fly and we are now entering a new year of the taiga Tiger 2010! So yeah, Happy new year 2010 to everyone out there from DMM! May you have a lootful (otakus lol) and prosperous year~

Looking back at the previous 2009 new year post,  i don’t think i will be writing up as much as before as this year, would be a ronery 1/1/2010. Instead of having gathering like the previous year, I’m basically alone (well, i guess 1 of my imouto aka little sis is at home as well lol) at home, “celebrating” this virtually on TFM chat, ronery much indeed. But yeah, what happened on 2009, lets see, DMM just had its 1 year anniversary, we had Daicon 2009, GACC 2009, Anime Festival Asia 2009, Comic Fiesta 2009, all which i just got too darn lazy to fully cover/cover them at all rofl, but believe me, those were really AWESOME events, and a majority of them were in Malaysia too!

Oh lets not forget, this year is MY year too Yes, according to the Chinese Zodiac horoscope, i am born in the year of the Tiger, looking at some forecast, i will definitely be looking forward for 2010:

The Tiger

Magnetic, passionate and grand! When the Tiger does anything, it’s noticed! Indecisiveness and stubbornness can mar the sparkle of the Tiger personality. On the one hand generous, on the other hand a little mean, it’s sometimes hard to know where one stands with the Tiger. Flexible, honest and truly entertaining, one has a friend for life with a Tiger.

Forecast for 2010

Being the Tiger’s own year, 2010 holds great promise for those born under this sign, with exciting developments happening for them both personally and professionally. Some Tigers may be feeling disappointed and disheartened after 2009 and it will be important to leave the past behind and concentrate on the future, which is looking so bright! Financially, everything improves this year for those born under this sign and money-making thoughts and ideas should be fully explored and investigated. With the fast pace of this year for all signs, the Tiger needs to take extra care in planning and thinking all projects through – no rushing headlong into schemes during 2010! Tigers looking for romance will possibly see a friendship suddenly develop into something more personal with exciting consequences. August, December and January will see a very active and entertaining social calendar, but all of 2010 will see fun activities for the Tiger. The Spring months, March to May, will bring encouraging and interesting job opportunities, but the Tiger will still have to make sure he puts himself forward and gets noticed at work.

As for myself, things definitely ended smoothly on 31/12/2009, i managed to sold off the processor i got from cyberfusion, and my old Asus Commando motherboard that was replaced by my new Maximus Formula, basically some cash backs to pick myself up from my negative finance…oh and a short chat log from TFM chat earlier:

Quazacolt: maybank went smooth
Quazacolt: fucking manager went all explaining and shit
Quazacolt: and then finally ask me if i agree to bear the charge and try to play the women advantage bullshit all pitiful and all
Quazacolt: and i showed my not amused face saying “i believe i have made myself clear on my letter, and our previous phone conversation have i not?”
valho: give her the finger
Quazacolt: instantly “ill go prepare for the reversal”
Quazacolt: so i gots back my monies
Quazacolt: 31-Dec-2009 CASH DEPOSIT RM284.55
Quazacolt: and i get to play blazblue
linkinstreet: oh hi

Latest anime Aki Sora, or rather, hentai OVA that is bundled with the Limited edition manga just released about 3 days ago, and i really cant help but noticed a striking resemblance towards a certain anime. The following picture will do the talking:

Seriously, that is the first damn thing that hit my mind during the first H scene: Spice and Wolf: the Armaty route. Maybe Lawrence should’ve just rolled over and die knowing how awesome the show could’ve gotten huh?

Well, if you haven’t noticed already, the Aki on the manga cover is very much different than the Aki you see now in the anime. Most noticeably would be the hair color, and the eyes color. Even the side fringe (correct me if i’m wrong on this, not too well versed in hair stuff)  seemed a lot shorter in the manga compared to the anime.

Anyways, not much that i will be able to review about this anime (maybe i should just start calling it hentai already?) considering its content. Standard hentai-like storylines, scenes, and a wrap up with an wincest intercourse. Like hell yeah right? Even the sudden teleportation-like appearence of the characters seemed similar to those of eroges. You know, they just suddenly slide in your screen and stands right in the middle and starts the dialog, yeah, that.

See what i mean? lol. To sum it up, awsm stuff, especially if you’re a male, i guess, for obvious reasons. And seeing how Aki resembles Horo, you bet i will be following it rofl!

No suggestions for related posts.

So like, yeah this movie sucks because(click to show spoiler):

show

Seriously though, it seems to me that movies these days are entirely aimed towards action and special effects, and almost completely negating plot/storyline. I suppose its easier to sell with flashy action flying across the screen, as opposed to having long dialogs which are easy to bore the viewers if not done well.

Either way, i got to watch this movie for free thanks to Comic Fiesta folks, so i guess cant really complaint much about it ^^;

First off, myself, and this blog, is still alive. If you are wondering, yes, gaming. Only difference is L4D2 instead of RE5 and the usual WoW. Anyways, i have received an email from afufu.net regarding a request to put up some info about ANIMAF. What is ANIMAF you ask, well i didn’t know it myself until i checked out the about page:

ANIMAF Awards is an otaku-made online awards that would give recognitions to outstanding Live-actions and Japanese animated films each year.

Without further delays, check out the trailer below:

Click here to view the embedded video.

Really impressive stuff imo, and definitely worth sharing For me, its definitely the Evangelion sound track being used. Having just watched Evangelion 2.0 at Singapore during AFA 2009, it would be a lie if my opinions weren’t slightly biased. That said, I’d wish the transition to the 2nd song would be better made as it felt a little odd to me ^^;

I was supposed to post something else before this, but that got delayed, so never mind that for now! Anyways, its a weekend, however unlike any other weekend, this weekend we have 2009 WoW MLG pro circuit Anaheim 3v3 arena tournament going on. Its basically a big time WoW PVP arena tournament, and its at its last day with the finals coming right up in just a few hours later from this post. Think of this as your normal football sport, except this is World of Warcraft, and its played on a computer aka E-Sport.

I am basically going to attempt live blogging this to get myself prepared for perhaps an AFA09 live blog. It sorta worked out for GACC 2009 first day, so why not? heh.

Streams are available from:

Catch World of Ming (probably the best blog site around regarding WoW news especially PVP news) for other live blogging with bloggers that are participating from the tournament itself such as Azael and Pookz!

=Live blogging start: BB VS Check 6=

oh my god, first round started in a BANG on Ruins of lordaeron!

- Good sap from Hiren the rogue
- Insane burst from Hiren and orangemarmalade, forced BOP and Deterrence from Twix the hunter
- Quick swap to Flex enh shaman
- INSANE BURST STRAIGHT to the paladin, CROSS KILL to numberone on priest, but hunter followed after that, and GAME 1 to Button Bashers!

Game 2 on Blade’s Edge Arena:

- INSANE RNG from Check 6, Orangemarmalade down within few seconds of the match before an iceblock, WTF Beastcleave /sigh

Game 3 on Balde’s Edge Arena again:

- Rogue didn’t manage to score a sap or even a cheap shot popped out of stealth by Flare.
- Very hard preasure to Numberone priest, pain suppression popped, and still didn’t help and Numberone went down quickly ending the match.

Game 4 on Nagrand Arena:

- Early preasure to flex from BB, and Orangemarmalade from Check6
- Miscommunicated Trinket+BOP on Flex, Orangemarmalade sitting through TWO iceblock, health bouncing up and down
- SUDDEN QUICK burst from BB, and DOWN GOES Flex the enhance Shaman

2-2 TIE Button Bashers vs Check 6, and they are going for a break. TWO undefeated team in the round robin, Korean RMP vs American Check6, 2 all tied, who will come out undefeated? Next game is incoming very soon!

Game 5 last game on Nagrand Arena again:

- Early opener by Hiren to Flex, Orangemarmalade to Twix hunter
- HEAVY preasure to Orangemarmalade, sudden huge burst swap to Flex
- Double iceblock used, orange hardcasting bolts towards Flex despite having a bunch of pets and preasure onto him
- Finally a CROSS KILL on Flex/Orange, Paladin OUT OF MANA, Priest low on mana assisting Hiren for a kill on hunter
- Unfortunately against a good hunter, rogue just doesn’t stand much chance, Priest went Out of mana from the assist kill, eventually Rogue went down, and Check6 were victorious.

What an amazing game from both teams! Despite ALL the naysayers about RMP having absolutely ZERO chance against beastcleave, BB proved the world wrong with what they showed us. It’s a pity that BB did not win the series, with a 2-3 score against Check6, it was still a very very exciting match and they will still be amongst the final teams and i will definitely be supporting them

To add in to the previous game, man, the tension was HUGE as both teams were yelling and screaming especially on the 2 versus 2. Words cannot possibly describe that thrilling moment as we were all eager to see who would take the victory. As vhell said: “that was hands down the best WoW match i’ve ever seen”!

Break for now, and next up is  BHMS (DK/Lock/Druid Shadow Cleave) VS Button Bashers (Rogue/Mage/Priest RMP) so stay tuned!

Game 1 on Ruins of lordaeron:

- Opener on druid by BB, forced VERY EARLY NS before a grip from DK
- Swap onto DK, having AMS up
- Hots dropped from druid, swap onto Druid, even with AMZ by the DK, still Good game. Druid went down in a hurry.

Game 2 on Nagrand arena:

- Opener to Warlock, early blind towards druid to force a trinket, warlock portaled away
- Swap towards DK, forced AMS, forced AMZ, fear towards druid, and DK went down  in a hurry.

TWO – ZERO from button bashers vs BHMS

Game 3 on Blade’s Edge arena:

- VERY good sap from Rogue, opener cheap shot on the Druid
- Death knight gripped right before the sheep, swap towards warlock right after druid, warlock dropped down from bridge
- Druid got feared RIGHT INTO ALL THREE members from BB, instant swap and instant BLOWN UP. Game ended THREE ZERO in favor to Button Bashers.

Game 4 on Ruins of lordaeron:

- Early opener onto Warlock, heavy preasure, however a portal and a grip from Dk, the kill was not possible
- Heavy kiting from DK towards the rogue and control towards mage/priest, game dragged and eventually priest went low on mana
- Swap towards rogue with priest out of mana, and there goes the match with check 6 winning.

Game 5 on Ruins of lordaeron again:

- Pretty much the same thing happening on game 4, BHMS dragging the game and not much preasure being applied from Button Bashers
- Button Bashers having  everyone on low, numberone went out of mana, and rogue hiren being very low on health. However with good communication, having cloak/vanish still up, priest went for a drink while rogue still alive with that low hp.
- Quick swap into Brogo Druid, despite AMZ coming up, Silence from Button Bashers with Druid dangerously low on health, a kill was almost certain, until a quick shift running away and a NS heal for 12k, and Rogue went down right after. Game goes to Check 6.

3 – 2 Button Bashers vs Check 6 with Button Bashers taking the series.

Next up:

Check 6 vs EG, game 1 on Ruins of Lordaeron:

- Team EG going alliance to benefit from the racials as will of forsaken wont be doing anything

=another final update=

Sorry everyone for 1) not able to finish up the last 2 matches 2) not updating this earlier as i had a crash out for not having enough sleep going straight to work and coming back in traffic jams and what not. Maiwaifu was just way too tempting for

Anyways about the match: I’ve heard the game dragged for 25minutes into a draw and having SK-US Druid Warlock won due to more damage. It was a pity that i couldn’t watch that very match myself as a new orange legend could’ve born from it due to my day job. (hey, it pays for this very site and my various entertainment ‘needs’ LOL)

Further disappoint was had when i checked WOM to get some reference of the last 2 matches:

An apology on missing the last a few games of the BB vs SK-EU grand finals.  I waited and waited but I simply had to go escort my father-in-law back to his hotel to catch an early morning flight.  Estel watched the matches and told me exactly what happened, and I am glad the best team won. Serennia-sama was supposed to take over bracket play, but I got this message at 6PM:

I have an excrutiatingly painful toothe ache, had to call a doctor and im leaving soon for it i think… hurts so bad its unreal – Serennia-sama

Only this available on WOM:

Game 5 was on Ring of Valor yet again!  How can this map be played four out of five times in the grand finals?  BB’s Druid-to-DK-to-Druid swap sealed the deal as they are the team of destiny!  Getting ROV against DK/Lock/Druid, Nagrand against Beast Cleave was huge but you can not deny their impeccable skills.

So guess this wraps up this post. I will be posting a final conclusion post and a slight surprise for you guys as well
