Can't believe it's October already and I still have no Halloween Costume, but have been keeping busy with Batman Arkham Asylum for the PS3 and I have to admit its one of the best games I have played in awhile. It has a very well written story by Paul Dini and is exactly what a comic book game should be. Based off the original source and not the movies, this is a game I would highly recommend!

Note: I know the Penguin isn't in the game but I like this shot anyways =P. Maybe he can be in the sequel Batman: Gotham City (This is my guess for the title if they make a sequel).

It's almost a fitting moment. You see this past weekend was the New York Anime Festival (NYAF) which あ!PoN got to cover. And I got to interview a certain director of a certain big robot series... His name? Yoshiyuki Tomino of Gundam 0079 and most of the UC series fame! People seemed intimidated by his presence but my sit down chat with him went quite well and we shared many laughs! Then he signed all these items for me from my trip to Odaiba in Japan! So the signed Gundam Boxes perfectly closes the Gundam extravaganza! Man what an awesome experience! Just as a refresher here are the links to the photos I shot from Japan in the GUNDAM FOLDER! Hopefully I'll be able to translate the show and air it soon on AnimePodcast.net !

Never Forget...

It's been a long 8 years and as ground zero says empty multiple other buildings have risen all over the city, something is not quite right with that. But today is a day of remembrance, and as I go on walkabout I captured the solum feeling that is 9/11. In the rain and I find that many others have come out to remember and capture these moments... Been back from Japan for a good week now and as much as I miss it it's nice to be back in NYC... Pictures have been uploaded on my Flickr Page.

Leaving on a Jet Plane... Said farewell to James, Had breakfast at the airport and paid my fifty bucks for having luggage that is to heavy lol. Oh well time to sleep. This concludes the Japan trip and it's back to NY. I'll elaborate on the finer points on Japan as well as the Pachi-slot in later entries down the line. For now it's back to the real world. Thanks for coming along for the ride and hope you enjoyed it.

The JAPAN, GUNDAM and KYOTO Folder will be placed on the side bar now so that if ever anyone needs some rising sun it'll be there with open arms! Time to rest... Will be back later~

Fun Fact: We will arrive in New York the exact same time and they that we left. Time Traveling is fun! ZZZzzz..*

James is gonna send us off. So this is the last look of this great view (for now). OK don't want to miss our flight (or do we)...

I end the last day with this great shot from Tokyo Tower. As you can see Rainbow Bridge is in the back, and the ferris wheel. Oh yea and the big cross section that looks like Tokyo Tower or even the Kanji for Fire (火). Had Kaiten with James and Bonnie, then Bonnie went home, and I then we went off to Pachi-Slot faired so-so but over all fun! Took a cab back, and I must admit having GPS in a cab is great! Well no sleep tonight (that's what the plane is for). Gonna start packing and maybe get to that slice of pizza from Pizza La (we went for a snack lol).

So head on over to the JAPAN Folder and also check out the GUNDAM and KYOTO folder. And see this trip in it's entirety!

The thing that caught my eye were these 70 dollar Gatchaman Undies. Why 70? Well because it's a limited Yoshitaka Amano Special! There were 3 designs all cool all EXPENSIVE! So I snapped the pic you see now. Now off to Tokyo Tower, sunsets at six-ish today so time to go~!
