The Colourful World of De Blob2

I recently finished playing De Blob2 on the Wii. It was a great game, I’m a bit sad that it doesn’t seem to have much popularity though (the copy I bought was from the discount bin…) in the face of shooting games an RPGs that are popular these days.
De Blob2 is the 2nd game in the De Blob series (well, the 3rd, if you count the DS version, which seems more like a spinoff since the playstyle is different). You play as “Blob”, a character that looks like blob of paint. The evil INKT corporation led by Comrade Black has stolen all of the colour from their world, the planet of Raydia, making it all inky and gray. They’ve also enslaved the Raydians, citizens of Raydia, forced them to wear big gray suits (thus, they’re referred to as “Graydians”) and do menial jobs for INKT. Your job is to get rid of the ink by defeating INKT, and free the Graydians by painting everything in sight.
It seems like a simple concept, but it’s addictingly fun and satisfying going around to paint every building, every tree, every billboard, and save every Raydian. It kind of reminds me of wanting to roll up everything in sight when playing Katamari, haha.
Chinese New Year Traditions

This Monday was Chinese New Year. It’s the Year of the Dragon, which is my year. My mom gave me a jade pendant to wear for the year, supposedly for good luck.
Every new year’s eve, China’s central TV network puts together a New Year’s Gala show. It’s a 5-hour variety show, with songs, dance, skits, comedy, magic, and a mix of performances. It’s the most prestigious show with quite high production value; I haven’t seen anything in North America that approximates the scale and type of the show it is (maybe the Oscars, if you take out the awards part?).
Gundam SEED Remaster episode 1 thoughts
Posted by: MapleRose on: January 7, 2012
My first thought when I heard about the Gundam SEED Remaster project was “yes! Gundam SEED in HD, do want!”. Gundam SEED is my fave anime series; I love the story, characters, and music, but the art sometimes is a bit lazy. So I’m glad it’s being made into HD and hopefully have the weird-looking parts reworked.
So I downloaded episode 1, to see Gundam SEED in all its HD glory. And well… I was excited at first, but overall, I have to say, I’m a bit disappointed. You’ll see why from the images.

This weekend is the G33K Art Show in Kitchener, and for the past week, I’ve been preparing stuff for it.
I’ve never sold art before, I want to try doing Artist Alley at a con eventually, but this art show opportunity showed up, so I decided to try it out. I have no idea what the traffic will be like, so it’s a lot of guesswork of how much stuff to prepare.

Today was my convocation ceremony. It was quite long and boring to be honest… I didn’t bring my camera, so I don’t have photos of it, maybe I’ll edit when I get photos from my parents.

I’m going to write a series of posts about CTRL-A, my experience and opinions of it, and how it has changed over the years.
Because these posts contain some personal real-life stories and mentions ppl by name, I don’t want it open to the whole Internet for some random person to wander into. So these posts are password-protected. If you’re meant to read it, you would be able to.
The hint for the password is: “What animal is our galactic pet Tauburn?” (no capital letters)
