It's been used a fair bit but considering it's age, it's not in bad condition. Wear and tear here, label is almost unreadable but the heart logo on the tush is very much readable! Slight wear on the eyes too, but not a lot. A lot of the fur colour is still there so it still looks quite vibrant! :)
Here's a pic of it.
Basically, looking at what people would offer me, or just some idea as to what to sell it for. Saw one the other day on eBay go for £80.
Having said that, keyboards are a bitch to use when gaming! I'm not use to it, as I've never played a proper game with it, so I'm looking into using my Xbox controller. :)
Display name is DarkBandicoot (same as here & YouTube) so people know who I am, although I'm able to change this, so I might just do that...
I'll be uploading a vid too on this for any subscribers/friends who may be interested.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
Also, random, but SO worth it! This video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1mhfHkl
To celebrate 25 years of Zelda, this person... whoever you are, has done an AMAZING job on this piece of artwork. 25 years of history, it's such a nice piece, I love it, and it has indeed even brought tears to my eyes. XD
Anyway, over the past views weeks, I've returned to stargazing, but this time, more passionate than ever!
Since around 10 years old, I've owned a telescope, and a pretty decent one at that (it was a BIG present from mum that year), but after it was put together, we had to take it apart, and ever since, it's been unable to be put together again (I lost most of the instructions, but even with what I have, which may be enough, it's hard to understand), until now (hopefully!)
There's been a lot of astromony events going on, and so I'm determined to find out what goes where with my telescope (or maybe at next week's event, they can help this time)!
It's driving me crazy not being able to look at Jupiter and it's moons, or Venus, and craters on the moon close up... :'( At some point, I'd like to buy an up-to-date telescope that will allow me to take photographs. Now that'd be awesome! ^_^
- Music:Legend of Zelda Remixes
I thought I'd still be well enough to go through as I wasn't coughing as much, but during the night I just couldn't stop, and had to call it off.
I messed my friend about with the "I'm ill, don't wanna go" to "let's go", to "actually, I can't go."
Still, there's always next time. I had my cosplay outfit all ready too...
Any suggestions for what type of make up I can use (which will stay on for most of the day!) is very welcome! :D
Cosplaymagic have reasonable prices, so it's a good site to use if anyone else finds this useful. :) Shipping is even free (for most places)!
I don't have a sword because replicas are illigal to take to conventions, and I can't make one, so that's a pity.
I should be off to a convention soon.
One of our cats caught it, but it was still alive, but at the time, we thought it was barely hanging on.
However, after looking after it for almost 49 hours, he, or she, has improved nicely. We think one of his/her front legs isn't working as well as it should be, but he/she can still swim quite well.
Hopefully we can release it tonight. Poor guy must be starved, it's hardly eaten because we can't find any live insects to feed it & it won't eat anything dead, like dead flies that we found. :\
It's so cute, I wanna keep it, but I can't really can I! XD
Because of this, I will continue to remain with the job centre, & look for a job, which means money for me, which means I might actually have a laptop soon (and this time I mean it!)
Videos will be made, & I'll be back, finally....
I'll also be looking forward to going to London's convention next month, if I get a cosplay outfit in time that is.
This is really annoying (the links, not the people!) because once up, shouldn't it stay up?
I will get round to fixing these by uploading them to MegaUpload, as I already have done for my Shaman King doujinshi, but only having access to a local library doesn't create enough time to do much with them at the moment, but I will try. :)
Thanks.
-----------------
ANIME
Very first anime: Pokemon I think, but at the time I wasn't aware of anime until maybe 6 years later.
Favorite anime you’ve watched so far: X/1999.
Your anime crush: I have many! XD Let's see... Renji, Ichigo, Hitsugaya, Tyki, Lavi, Allen, Kamui, Fuuma, Subaru, Seishiro, Light/Ratio Yagami, L, Len/Ren Tao, Gaara, Shikimaru, Vegeta & Trunks. Is that enough? =p
Anime you’re ashamed you enjoyed: I'm not ashamed of watching anything myself, but I do keep some anime private from people who don't understand. Anime like Pokemon, Kirby, Digimon, etc, because these are "for kids" & I'd get some stick from people as I have in the past.
Anime character you feel you are most like (or wish you were): A cross between Misty (Pokemon) because she's feisty & a tomboy (in some areas anyway) & Shikamaru (Naruto) because he's lazy.
Most annoying anime character: Shaman King's Anna! She's a right %&$£*!
Favorite anime couple: AshxMisty (but I doubt it'll happen now... damn you people, bring her back!) & SubaruxSeishiro kind of... even though they aren't a couple, but the spark was there. :(
Most epic scene ever: Ichigo's & Renji's first (or only?) fight in Bleach. And maybe the ending face off in Shaman King. I dunno, I forget events what happened!
Saddest anime scene: Upon the Rainbow Bridge of X/1999 (I haven't said exactly as it's spoilers for people who don't know what this means).
Favorite slice of life anime: I don't really watch them, but I plan to watch several, with a bunch of other titles too!
Favorite mech series: Outlaw Star? The tags says it's mecha on myanimelist.
An ecchi picture from your favorite series: None.
Cosplay of your ‘waifu’ or 'husbando’: Doesn't apply to me.
Current (or most recent) anime wallpaper: I haven't had one for a while, but it was an X/1999 one I think.
Post a cute Neko-girl: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g
(I can't do the link thing.)
Post a kigurumi cosplay of your favorite anime character: ?????
Favorite tsundere: Len/Ren Tao (Shaman King) & Vegeta (DBZ).
Something moe: ?????
Mandatory swimsuit post: ?????
Favorite shoujo anime: Don't really watch them, but the closest Shoujo anime I like is D.N.Angel.
Best yandere character: Don't think I have one... unless... well, Light/Ratio Yagami kind of falls into this catagory (I had to look up a definition of this).
Favorite boy’s love couple (or yuri couple, if you don’t like that sort of thing): SubxSei, even though it's not really a couple, but it's the only one I really like.
Anime you think had the best, or most intriguing art: X/1999 the movie, Death Note & Devil May Cry (the anime). I think anyway...
Favorite anime hero or heroine: Kamui (X/1999), Ichigo (Bleach) & Allen (D.Gray-Man). Ichigo's the "hero", but I prefer Renji as an overall good guy character.
Best anime villain: Tyki (DGM) maybe, but I think Aizen's pretty badass for a villian, but he's not a favourite character. Same for the Earl in DGM.
Your favorite harem anime: Don't have one.
Favorite anime opening theme song: Maybe DGM's third opening, but I have a few favourites.
Favorite pokemon: If I had to pick one... Arcanine! There are many favourites though.
Favorite school uniform: Dunno.
Favorite anime ending theme: Can't really remember ending themes.
---------------------
VIDEO GAMES
Very first video game: Sonic I think...
Favorite video game you’ve played so far: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (it's fab, but I am getting bored with it because I've played it so many times). XD
Your video game crush: Link (Zelda).
Video Game you’re ashamed you enjoyed: Don't have one.
Video game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were): Vincent Valentine? Maybe, because I'd wear his clothes, & I am usually quiet, but not so depressed. And maybe a little of Coco Bandicoot, because she's into gadgets & stuff.. XD I wish I could be like Dante though, he's so cool!
Most annoying video game character: Probably Navi! LOL! "Listen!" It gets old.
Favorite video game couple: LinkxZelda for my favourite, but I like RougexKnuckles too.
Most epic scene ever: Dante's & Vergil's face off in DMC3, when there was just music, as they are running at each other in slow motion. Classic, & so sad too. :( This isn't I suppose THAT epic when I think about, but I can't think of anything else.
Saddest video game scene: When Shadow "died" in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle & in Jak 3, when Jak finds out who his father is. And the ending of Twilight Princess.
Favorite mech game: Don't have one.
An ecchi picture from your favorite game/series: Don't have one.
Cosplay of your ‘waifu’ or husbando’: Doesn't apply.
Current (or most recent) video game wallpaper: It was probably a Zelda one.
Post a cute Neko-girl: Again!? No.
Post a kigurumi cosplay of your favorite video game character: ????
Favorite tsundere: Shadow the Hedgehog probably. And maybe Torn (Jak series) & Midna (Zelda).
Something moe: ?????
Mandatory swimsuit post: ?????
Favorite video game genre: Action-adventure.
Best yandere character: Dark Jak, even though it's not a true character, but rather another side to Jak after being tortured so much!
Favorite boy’s love couple (or yuri couple, if you don’t like that sort of thing): Don't have one.
Video game you think had the best, or most intriguing art: Okami had an interesting style... I dunno if there's anything else.
Favorite video game hero or heroine: Link for sure!
Best video game villain: Ganondorf! He's badass & SO EVIL! A true villain, not a sorry excuse for one.
Your favorite harem video game: Don't have one.
Favorite video game opening theme song: Don't know.
Favorite pokemon: Let's go for something different this time... Raichu!
Favorite school uniform: Don't know.
Favorite video game ending theme: Don't know.
I wouldn't call it excellent because there was no sand monsters and stuff, which would've been cool, but that's not to say 'monsters make a film', but that IS what Prince of Persia is about in the games, and usually other creatures. :)
It was funny though and the action scenes were good! I am glad I saw it now instead of waiting for the DVD, because the cinema is great. :)
From what Jake Gyllenhaal said (who plays the Prince), there is to be more, so I look forward to seeing those two.
Full interview here on Jonathan Ross from a few weeks ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvLfwiA_
I'm interested in the manga only part because I hardly read novels, but the kind of stuff that went on was designing characters, guessing games and talks. Talks were good, but as I said, something more interesting needs to be going on, and they need to advertise!!!
I still need to get a laptop at some point. My money's gone before it can save up for it & has been spent on stuff like bus fair, food, etc, as mum had to spend £60 at the vets recently, & another cat soon needs to go & that'll cost about / over £200!
Still, I've been out recently to other places, like the cinema. How To Train Your Dragon is awesome, & Toothless is adorable! ^_^
There's another in London in Autumn, so I could go to that, & hopefully cosplay as someone else rather than Light from Death Note, which is cool, but it's easy to put together, so I'll bet they'll be loads of them. XD I want to though one day as him.
- Music:Several Orchestra Musics
Does anyone know what colour they are in the anime? I'm too lazy to look myself, & I don't know what eps show clear shots of them, & when.
I want them for my Light cosplay.
No computer, which means no proper videos, with except of the conventions, which I upload on my friend's laptop.
I don't know when I should be expecting to get one, but hopefully soon, as it's been about 6 months without (it doesn't seem that long though...)
This doesn't mean I can't just go out & buy one though, because we simpily don't have the money & it's been quite rough for a good deal of months now, which causes arguments & what not. I'm getting tired of it, but I won't go into details.
So this doesn't mean I've quit if you're concerned, it means a break I suppose, to whenever I can get back onto track, because soon after I get a laptop, I'm making a dozen videos! LOLOLOLOLOLOL! XD
However, I won't be making the outfits myself, I'll buy them.
My next possible cosplay will be Renji from Bleach & I've already looked into his & several other cosplays just in case I don't quite have the money to get Renji's.
My other character ideas for later, or next if needed would be:
- Dante (Devil May Cry). At the moment I'm looking at his youngest self outfit (DMC3).
- Len/Ren Tao (Shaman King).
- Lavi (D.Gray-Man), however his is more expensive... :\
-Subaru Sumeragi (X/1999). Yep, not got around to getting that coat yet.
- Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach).
- Light/Ratio Yagami (Death Note).
Some are cheaper than others, so depending on how things go may depend on who I cosplay as in May.
I didn't go as a red Soldier, as last minuet I found out I no longer had my mum's friend's helmet, so I went as a red Scout again.
I plan to cosplay as Renji from Bleach in May's London Expo, so let me know if you're going.

I'll post pics/footage on YouTube soon as usual.
I didn't know what was worse, the injection of insulin or the fact that it'd been inside my cat first, with germs & all, yeah. It went purple though & it bled, but I had to force it bleed more to get the insulin out, but yeah, it's fine now. :)
On 20th, I may be going to another Convention to Telford this time, & I hear there's a Team Fortress gathering there, so I really want to cosplay as Soldier again & meet people! ^__^ Mum might come this time too, because it's just just anime, manga & video games, there's a lot of movie & tv based stuff going on, like when I went Birmingham last time.
But, because of money, well... that's why I want to sell mum's gold, which she doesn't want anymore, so yeah, we'll get about just under £400 for the lot I'd say! :D We have silver too but only a few buy silver I think... hope so. And Stainless Steel.
And Sick Puppies (music band) are a good rock band! Listening to them constantly (like some artists when I'm new to them... it'll pass). XD
- Music:Sick Puppies
Thousands of schools have closed so I haven't been in today, but we may have more to come. I love the snow. :) We don't have it by the 20cm like some places are suppose to have, but it was enough to cause problems for people who have children or work.
Seriously, people shouldn't be forced to go into work when it's this bad, because some work places said if they didn't turn up, they would count that day(s) as a holiday day, & that's not fair! I know they need the people in to work, but... couldn't someone provide the business with money until then?
Snow only causes problems for people like that, but not me... yet? Accidents are always happening & it just causes inconvienence. :(
Somewhere, it's suppose to each -20 at some point. Now that's shocking! I thought -10 was bad! Still, I do hope it keeps snowing, because at the end of the day, people who have problems with it isn't my problem.
Then there's clothes shops, & a lot of them! Seriously, in the city, there's so many of them, I was quite intimidated by it as I was looking for a Russian hat & didn't have a clue where to look, although I ended up buying the one I came across first early in my search as I looked around a bit first, but it was expensive! £16 for a hat!? Wow... Well, it's expensive to me, but in general, it's a hat... come on, how expensive can they be?
I got it through because it was nice, & I suddenly had the urge to buy a Russian hat after seeing a boy wear one when I was at Memorabilia (he was the one who came up to me talking about TF2 since I was cosplayed). They're cool though, & cozy. ^-^
I saw a Cookie Monster jacket too that I would've liked, but a t-shirt of him would do for me, since it was nice, but I prefer a t-shirt I saw once of him, & it's cheaper. :)
Aaanyway, I'm off again tomorrow maybe to do some more "clothes shopping", & when I say that, I don't mean womeny shopping for shoes & tops & all that, just stuff I like. I saw some nice boots though & general t-shirts & stuff.... yeah. XD
I have no update really, I just wanted to put this. :\
I await nervously though for her return, but he's fine, so he was lucky to only have an injured jaw instead of being killed, which has happened before to one of our other cats some years ago. :(
He's almost himself now, minus that he still looks a bit messy, as they didn't clean him up, being that it'd hurt.
Indeed, it was much better than J-Culture as it was quite small there, which wasn't their fault, but the NEC is huge & it was generally better stall-wise, cosplay-wise, sort of, as we didn't see that many because most cosplayers were on Sunday, but they had Darth Vader, Startroopers, Jack Sparrow, two of the David Tennant 'The Doctor's & Daleks from Doctor Who! :D
I also met a star who was in Doctor Who & I got a photo with her, while my friend was with Craig Charles from Red Dwarf. :)
I found out though that the cosplayers were mainly in Sunday, but Sunday's are usually complicated for me because transport sucks on Sundays, so I might've not been able to make it, or at least, not in time, but I wished that I'd looked into that just to be sure, as I wanted to see more cosplayers... :\
What's wierd though is that only one person came up to me (just after the Con had finished) & actually said they knew who I was, while others didn't, or they didn't know who I was because they aren't familar with TF2, like the actress I met, which is fair enough, but at J-Culture, I got like 6-7 people going like "Oh a Scout!" & that place is much smaller than this time.
Anyway, pics/vids have been uploaded on YouTube, so check 'em out. I also spent about £30 on mostly Bleach stuff, which wasn't intentional, but there was just more Bleach stuff I prefered, but I also got a Death Note poster, an Only Fools & Horses mug (which I later found out by my mum that the Pound Shop sells them for £1 instead of £5! XD) & maybe something else.
I must go again! Maybe in March I'll go, then to London in May. :D
So, it isn't my fuse that's caused to computer to break down, or whatever, but I hate talking to tech people over the phone since most of the time I can't understand them, in a non-racist way, but I just can't & I don't want to say anything because I'm too kind to. It would explain why though because the HQ is based in India or somewhere... for some reason. :\ Why?
Does anyone have a suggestion? I'll see if my mum's friend can help out though.
Buuut, it's been okay though, I've been sewing & sticking a little in the week for my cosplay. It's not so much the "I haven't been on YouTube for days!" that's bothering me too much, it's the amount of videos I've have in my sub box... I'm subbed to over 300 accounts! Gaawwwd... -_-
So yeah... this suck. XD It gives me more time to work on my TF2 Soldier cosplay though (nearly done!) I hope I'm still okay to go to the Convention... (money problems are a bitch!) Kind of my fault we're in this mess though... (I spent most of my job centre plus money on anime/manga & games stuff before we needed more money, even though mum told me to keep some behind for safe keeping, but I wouldn't listen...)
Well, I wanted a laptop anyway, but not so soon obviously, I need like... at least £200 for one. :\ I should be getting paid my ALG soon, if it's finally okay now (it's been sent back to me twice!) If I get it by next week, I'll be able to go to the Con, but a laptop may have to wait for a few more weeks, so I can't say when I'll be officially back.
And just wanted to let people know I'm still alive. XD
There's a little xxxHolic & Tsubasa in there too. Enjoy. http://www.usaupload.net/d/04nf0jb7cv5
Anyway, my real life friend, known as paranoidanimegirl on YouTube came along with me, but she didn't cosplay, but she did make the Chobits ears but because she thought I wasn't cosplaying, she didn't want to either (well, not cosplaying exactly... just wearing the ears.)
I met a blue Engineer there too which was cool & I had a photo with him (which didn't turn out though, damnit!) My digital camera no longer works after paranoidanimegirl dropped it a while back... XD A few people recognised me, one which asked for a photograph (I haz fanz!) & one who acted like a Spy towards me by 'stabbing' me in the back saying "I never really was on your side." I cracked up!
I had a blast but it wasn't as good as I thought it could be stall-wise, since I couldn't find much I wanted to buy that wasn't overpriced or just things I didn't have money for, like bags, they were cool, so I got a Bleach keyring of Ichigo & a Death Note patch of Light.
All of our footage & photos on my YouTube account, but there's other videos uploaded of the event. http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkBandico
I don't have much money myself, being a college student, so I'll only get £30 a week from that but I have my expenses. I want to go to a convention soon so money would be great!
All plushies are about 6 and 13 inches long, except the big Birthday Bear, he's about 18 inches.
ALL PRICES LISTED OF WHAT I KNOW AT THE MOMENT! WILL KEEP UPDATING!
13 inch Forest Bear, Friend Bear & Cozy Heart Penguin & 6 inch Funshine Bear & Love-a-Lot Bear. "Insert Image" isn't working so here's the image link.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7
All 13 icnh bears (except Forest Bear) are £2 or £3 each, not including shipping. Within the UK, shipping is about £3 I suppose going on my own knowledge, but outside the UK, I don't know, so I'll round it up to a total. Fair?
Forest Bear is quite rare, so I want £10 for him!
6 inch bears are £2 each & within the UK shipping is about £2.
Tini figures are 10p each (not sure if Paypal can send such a small amount though) but for all of them, £1.50 (discount of 20p.)
As for the colouring board things, they've obviously already been used, but they might be rare since vintage Care Bear stuff is, so you can have them if you REALLY want them, but I'm not expecting them to sell really.
http://manga.animea.net/horitsuba-gakue
It doesn't seem to be that popular & there's no anime of it, just manga.
Hope someone can help, thanks!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEILlcGg
I also found out that in the gallery, unique images have dialouge with them, so I'd love especially to understand the Subaru & Seishiro ones. I found the sunglasses one funny because I heard Seishiro laugh & I've never heard him laugh before! Kinda a big thing to me! XD
The endings are also a problem since I don't know much Japanese (only a few words I picked up), so I'd like to actually learn to speak & read it (I wonder if I can... only by taking a course probably though.)
I was wondering if someone was up for translating it. I'd ask Jeldi http://jeldi.livejournal.com/ but I don't wanna sound rude, I mean she's doing me a huge favour as it is, unless she wants to do it, but that's up to her!
P.S. I have yet to get some sort of cable so I can play the game in colour... I'll look into it.
