Got playstation 3, hooray
2008-10-06T21:06:00.006-04:00
I just got ps3 yesterday as my birthday present. But my mind wasn't on ps3 at first place, because I want a gaming desktop more than game console like Alienware (of course for play games propose ^^"). But then I change my mind, I thought like "what the heck, since I don't have enough money to get a big ass wide screen monitor and 5.1 surround speaker". Also ps3 just got a lot of games that I want to play like soulcalibur 4, MGS 4, etc. so that's I choose ps3 (will never choose 360, it's suck).
Some said that ps3 is quite heavy but I think it's not, even it's said 6 kg on the box (￣▽￣)
Unfortunately, I haven't bought much games at that day, due to I need to keep it for other games and figures. (≧∇≦")
After I tested for a few minutes I can only thought it's AWESOME!! and better than I expected. Cheers for the ps3, lol! ＼(o￣∇￣o) Oh! by the way, Hatsune Miku drawing project is finished, I'll show you all tomorrow.Kozta-Boomlucky star parody

2008-10-03T20:22:00.007-04:00Lately I show you my realistic draw to you and ummm... it's almost made me forgot how to draw manga character... just kidding ^^" But honestly, I just addicted to the realistic art style more than before. And I guess I won't be able to create a doujin if I still like this, lol.
The above pic is relate to this post as well 'cause I'm trying to draw nendoroid ver. of Hatsune Miku. I'm not sure that has someone requested me to draw this or not? Since I'm not a huge fan of Miku though. (and of course I hijacked the reference pic from Danny) Here's my WIP#1
(if I can) I will shade the background as well. Hope I will finish this by this weekend...Kozta-BoomStormtrooper sketch done!!
2008-09-29T17:44:00.001-04:00
Now I have a chance to play Star War: The Force Unleashed and it's pissed me off. The only thing that is really great is story and nothing pretty much good.
It's done now. Can't believed that I manage to finish this within last night. So tired.
Well what do you think?
To be honest, in my sketch book it does look better than this one. Not sure what should I blame to... Scanner?

I like stormtrooper they're cool and awesome.
Hope you like it ^^"
Just want to try something harder than sketching Saber and also I want to develop my shading skill.
So I decided to draw stormtrooper but it's quite difficult to draw it and some a little details. I can only hope that I won't make it look crap. ^^
Actually, I should have draw him (Danny Choo) like in the reference pic, but I guess I can't. Sorry about that.
Things that I've used- 2H, F, HB, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B pencils

I just give some time to watch Lucky Star, finally. The anime looks nothing that kinda special, but I'm glad to see Kagami again. What do you think? ^^;
Anyway, I did some sketch of Kagami in Rin cosplay. It's looks like it's just incomplete 'cause I don't take too much time on it.
[for the high-res]Kozta-BoomPS3 40gb price drop this weekend
2008-09-26T18:57:00.001-04:00
I guess Christmas is coming too earlier for this year. I think I should thanks to Santa for listen to my wish, lol.
According to Blockbuster store, the price for PS3 40GB models will drop to $359.99 yeah, the price isn't drop pretty much. But, it's better than no price cut.
However, this price drop order didn't come from Sony directly. It seem Blockbuster want to clear the stock that badly.
Source: KotakuAccording to a Blockbusters' memo leaked to us today Sony is permanently dropping the price of the discontinued 40GB model of the Playstation 3 starting Sunday.
The price drop, which was verified by calls to a number of Blockbuster stores, will drop the 40GB model to $360 and an PS3 40GB bundle with an HDMI cable, Spiderman the movie and Transformers the game to $400. Stores that have trade-ins of the PS3 40GB will be selling it for $360 as well.
While the $40 or so price drop isn't much, maybe it signals other drops in line for the other versions of the console in the near future. Or perhaps Sony is clearing stock to make room for a Tokyo Game Show announced new SKU for the Playstation 3.Kozta-Boomsketch some OC
2008-09-23T21:35:00.000-04:00It's bored here and also with tons of work that don't allowed me to have some free time, so I ended up with design some character... But seriously, I don't know what should I do with them, maybe I will create a short manga... just maybe ^^;
The first is some girl (haven't thought of name yet) holding awp (Arctic Warfare Police) sniper rifle. Nothing much special besides her facial expression....and pantsu (lol)..... Hope you like it ^^;
I don't know I shouldn't say this but guess she (Naomi-chan) is no longer be my mascot since I come with a better one.
As I tried to design her up, I guess she might be a (very) strong girl (and moe).
Which one you prefer? a girl with sniper rifle or katana?

2008-09-20T22:59:00.001-04:00
EA has respond to their customers that they're complaints about DRM policy.
The details said:Two weeks ago EA launched SPORE – one of the most innovative games in the history of our industry. We’re extremely pleased with the reception SPORE has received from critics and consumers but we’re disappointed by the misunderstanding surrounding the use of DRM software and the limitation on the number of machines that are authorized to play a single a copy of the game.
We felt that limiting the number of machine authorizations to three wouldn’t be a problem.
· We assumed that consumers understand piracy is a huge problem – and that if games that take 1-4 years to develop are effectively stolen the day they launch, developers and publishers will simply stop investing in PC games.
· We have found that 75 percent of our consumers install and play any particular game on only one machine and less than 1 percent every try to play on more than three different machines.
· We assured consumers that if special circumstances warranted more than three machines, they could contact our customer service team and request additional authorizations.
But we’ve received complaints from a lot of customers who we recognize and respect. And while it’s easy to discount the noise from those who only want to post or transfer thousands of copies of the game on the Internet, I believe we need to adapt our policy to accommodate our legitimate consumers.
Going forward, we will amend the DRM policy on Spore to:
· Expand the number of eligible machines from three to five.
· Continue to offer channels to request additional activations where warranted.
· Expedite our development of a system that will allow consumers to de-authorize machines and move authorizations to new machines. When this system goes online, it will effectively give players direct control to manage their authorizations between an unlimited number of machines.
We’re willing to evolve our policy to accommodate our consumers. But we’re hoping that everyone understands that DRM policy is essential to the economic structure we use to fund our games and as well as to the rights of people who create them. Without the ability to protect our work from piracy, developers across the entire game industry will eventually stop investing time and money in PC titles.
The day they day lauch? I saw Spore on Mininova before it's hits the store's shelf. And I really hates DRM... it's made the things being too complicated. Besides, even they put DRM into the games, there are still thoudsand of people keep downloading Spore.
what do you think to DRM?

What do you think?Kozta-BoomApple gaming console?
2008-09-15T20:11:00.003-04:00
Dunno what will it look like. But if Jobs is decided to make a console for us. Wouldn't it be interesting?Apple has the infrastructure in place through iTunes to create a real value proposition for those that want to extend the capability of their console beyond gaming and has the cash — about $20 billion — to not only invest in the best components on the market, but in an online gaming experience that could rival Xbox Live. That cash could also be put to good use by acquiring major developers (did someone say Take-Two?) that could go from third-party powerhouse to Apple's first-party publisher."
Said Don Reisinger...
Don's has a good point, if Apple is going to jump onto console market I guess it wouldn't be that bad, but the problems for most people would be prices -* -". And some really think it would be like Wii console but has PS3 price tag on.
Apple did make something that someone can't... If apple really does make a console for us, would you buy one? for me, I would keep waiting and looking on it and see what others think.

Actually, I've never thought I would draw something like this before. AC (anonymous coward) said he want me to draw some pan**u for anyone. So I decide to try it on, and dunno how is anyone think.
Note: click on the pic for bigger ver.
I think I still need to improve it (a lot)... I don't used to it, so what you think? Oh and any request about what should I draw next? ^^"Kozta-Boomstrike witches quick sketch
2008-09-12T23:00:00.003-04:00
sketch from 10 minutes ago, it's totally quick sketching of Lynette Bishop from Strike Witches (on this scene). So the line is pretty rough and still remains some unneeded line.
I draw her because I just noticed Strike Witches is going to meet the end Next week will be last episode of loli pantsu girls anime (kinda sad). I felt a bit disappoint 'casue it's too soon for such a good anime (and good fanservice, of course) like this one, first I thought it would be about 15-20 eps but I seem to be wrong. Guess this would be farewell to our pantsu girls... T ^T
Even though this anime is going to end, I'll still keep draw the fanart and remember her all pantsu, lol. ^^
............
Do you like short anime like this one? Or prefer long anime like clannad (not include endless anime)?
つづくKozta-BoomSlipknot fan art
2008-09-11T20:58:00.004-04:00
This may be my first realistic sketch ever... -*-
I really do love Slipknot so I decided to drew Corey Taylor, the vocalist and frontman of Slipknot. Their new song "Psychosocial" is totally kick ass. I don't know how much people around here like Slipknot.
Taylor is my one of my fave guy since this news is came out... link
I'm not a professional artist (and my pencil sharpener is suck) so don't be too much expected from this sketch.
I didn't draw the background because I don't really know what should I put as background (the refer pic's background is blur so I was unable to draw it)
Anyway, his new mask look just like terrorist's mask in counter strike, somehow ^^;
I guess there's still s lot of thing to improve... -* -"

New sketch kit is awesome... Well, if you're looking closer it may not look like Sanya-chan (from Strike Witches). It took about 30-60 mins to finish her up (longer than before). I like when Sanya when she is going to Eila's bedroom and fall asleep (I wish that was mine room ^^;). What you guys think?
------Some error in this sketch:
her hair don't look like actual Sanya, her fingers seem small, more.
------On monday, my wallet has been stolen and it's my first time in my entire life, that was bulls**t. I don't care my money inside my wallet (I didn't have much at that time) but something important like 2GB memory stick, ID, etc. has gone *sigh*... I almost get insane 'casue I need collect money all over again... Darn that Motherf***er.

today Jobs has announced new iPod touch second generation at Apple's let's rock event in San Diego, CA. Well, first I've never thought that itouch would have another gen like iphone. Jobs said this itouch will come out with 3 models, which are 8GB for $229, 16GB for $299, and a 32GB for $399. Cheaper than old one but more expensive than iphone 3G.
"The back is look gooood~ and curve. Also build-in volume"
"I think it give you more feel like you're now using iphone"
"New features 'Genius' dunno it'll good like its name"
But I'm not sure about the release date, hope it's gonna come out on fall maybe winter. Jobs also announced iPod nano 4G (exact new designed like rumor said) and iPod classic (more capacity but same price). Will you buy it? Or you're now sick of Apple's products?
Me? I'll buy it for sure.

2008-09-07T19:00:00.003-04:00
Well Dean Takahashi wrote a mind-blowing article about the truth that leads to Xbox 360 hardware failure or we called it RRoD (Red Ring of Death). The story is also talking about Chris Szarek's experience of being Microsoft fanboy who spent more than $1, 000 on his games, but his beloved Xbox 360 is turned out to be failed.
Takahashi said :The quality problem negated much of the advantage of going first, and it has delayed the company’s plan to aggressively market the console and slash its prices. (Microsoft disputes this point; it cut the price of all three versions of its Xbox consoles by $50 to $79 on Wednesday. And the company believes it will sell more boxes than Sony will. But prices ought to be lower still during this stage of the console life cycle). That has stopped the company from reaching the broader market of consumers that Nintendo has won over. It has lowered its ambitions, hoping instead just to get a clear edge on third-placed Sony. The future profits that the company once hoped for are now likely to wind up in Nintendo’s pockets.
Microsoft’s top game executive, Robbie Bach, president of the Entertainment & Devices group, said at a dinner in July that Microsoft’s own research shows that gamers have largely forgiven the company for defective Xbox 360s. Microsoft has still sold more Xbox 360 consoles than Sony to date. But there is no doubt that the company has lost considerable good will among gamers. Before Microsoft offered free replacements, connsumers grumbled that they had to turn to forums, such as those on Ars Technica, to vent and to find solutions to problems that the company didn’t openly discuss. And for a couple of months now, Sony’s PlayStation 3 has been outselling the Xbox 360 in the U.S. for the first time.
I asked Microsoft to confirm or deny 35 different facts contained in this story. Instead, I received a formal statement from a Microsoft spokesperson, saying the company had already acknowledged an “unacceptable number of repairs” to Xbox 360 consoles and responded to the hardware failures with a free replacement program. The statement also said, “This topic has already been covered extensively in the media. This new story repeats old information, and contains rumors and innuendo from anonymous sources, attempting to create a new sensational angle, and is highly irresponsible.”
On Gizmodo site, the author said:In an Aug. 30, 2005 memo, the team reported overheating graphics chip, cracking heat sinks, cosmetic issues with the hard disk drive and the front of the box, under-performing graphics memory chips from Infineon (now Qimonda), a problem with the DVD drive, and other things.
To be honest, the first reason I hates 360 is because of RRoD even it just got fixed on newer unit or MS gimme free repair on hardware failure. It's made me not to trust MS and that damn xbox 360. In short word, I rather like PS3 than 360, at least there's less than 1 percent for the hardware to fail. I don't want to pay $299 and waiting 'til it's fixed or pay fee for a replacement.
Anyway, I don't mean I want you all to hates MS and buy Wii or PS3 instead. You have right to choose it... err, well anything have pros/cons on itself. You might want Xbox 360 because it's cheap and save your budget. But my guess is if you pay more a bit, you won't have shed the tears.
What do you think of this story? Would you consider to get other console instead of 360?

If you're get bored with Guitar Hero or you think you're type pretty fast then this thing. It will made you say "OMG!!" or cry or maybe feel sorry that you were born. Don't be addicted and break down your keyboard.
After I have tried for few minutes I found out that it's f**king hard... Yeah it's even harder than DJMax. But this flash game has many great anime op/ed song like "Aimo from Macross Frontier" so you won't get bored or given up to this game that easily.
If you want to try something insane then “Motteke! Sailor Fuku from Lucky☆Star” is there to fulfill your needs.
Good luck my man... The game is right HEREつづく
