Plants vs Zombies

“There’s a zombie on your lawn…. there’s a zombie on your lawn”.  The theme song to the game Plants vs Zombies is definitely very catchy! Songs aside, the game is definitely a hook-on. You somehow can get a sense of satisfaction when all the zombies are prevented from getting across your lawn and eat your brains! Haha…

I’ve been through all the levels in the adventure mode :) and are done with all the mini games! Of all the mini games, I’m most intrigued with ‘Last Stand’. I used this to earn some money whenever my bank account is low. Per game, you should be able to get about $8000. Here’s a video of how it is done – I used 10 slots.

Plants vs Zombies – Last stand

 

Who should Sakuno choose?

We all know why the title of this post comes about… there are simply too many gorgeous guys for Sakuno to choose from the pretty boys of Prince of Tennis.

She may have the hots for Ryouma, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t look good with the other boys too! Help the poor girl to make up her mind – who should Sakuno choose?

Should it be her “love at first sight” Ryouma?

Or perhaps the soft-spoken yet feisty Fuji senpai?

Maybe the cool and aloof Tezuka? *I thought she looks good with him – minus the height difference*

If Seigaku is not good enough, then Sakuno should go for boys elsewhere… Niou?

Marui?

Or is she worthy of the rich and famous Atobe?

Hmmmm….. it’s tough being a girl :)

Kartun's hunkiest long-haired hunks

Part of the fun of watching anime and reading manga is to look out for gorgeous people (girls if you are a boys and bishonen if you are a girl). And nothing can make a girl go ‘wow’ more readily than bishonen sporting long hair :)

I’ve come up with some of my personal favourites – pretty boys that make a girl’s heart go ‘thump” when they appear on screen.

1) The four hunks from Colourcloud palace

All of them are eye-candies. Sometimes you wish that you are shurei, surrounded by Ryuki, Seiran, Koyu and Shuei…. Ah….

2) Hotohori (Fushigi Yuugi)

There are some similarities between characters of Fushigi Yuugi and Colourcloud palace. I thought at first look that they were done by the same mangaka…. Hmmm.. but out of some long-haired fellows in FY, Hotohori carries off the style better with his long, shiny, flowing hair!

3) Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach)

Another man with black, shiny, flowing hair and dons a long robe. What more can I say…

4) Nyx & Hyuga (Neo Angelique Abyss)

Two gorgeous guys that are opposites of each other. I guess they appeal to different types of ladies. Some like the dark one while others prefer the white angelic look :)

5) Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)

Aside from the thrilling gameplay, Final Fantasy managed to put in drooling characters like Sephiroth and Cloud. The strategy did not fail to lure the female population into RPG.

6) Minamimo Syuuichi aka Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Who can forget the post he assumes when he’s about to “whip a rose”? Those soulful green eyes has never ceased to melt a friend of mine during our teenage years. I personally prefer the youko Kurama; I find Syuuichi too soft…

7) Sesshoumaru (Inuyasha)

The brother of the main character of this anime series seems more appealing than him. With his cool and never smiling countenance, Sesshoumaru has “slashed” the hearts of many girls, even when not using his tensaiga. Hehe…

8) Ayame (Fruits Basket)

Although his appearance is not frequent, Ayame left a deep impression in many girls’ mind. Is it that shiny, flowing silver mane? Or is it his serpent-like tendency?

Of course, my list is by no means exhaustive. If I have left out any of your favourites, please let me know :)

My first look at The Sims 3

I know that I’m a bit behind time in posting this… but I only just recently purchased the game and tried out the gameplay. I’m a fan of sims 2. The game allowed me to create many interesting characters and plotted a story that suits each and every one of them. I was hoping to do so with the Sims 3 too :)

So far I’m managing 1 family and I’m up to the 4th generation. I’m trying to create good looking sims by pairing with good-looking in game sims and other created ones. Am I successful? Hmmm…..

The 1st generation Mr Sim A and Mrs Sim A were not much to look at, hence there’s no picture of them. But I managed to snap their son – Mr Sim B (2nd generation). His wife is an in game sim – Bebe Hart. The gray haired man is his father, Mr Sim A.

They produced 2 sons – A red haired Mr Sim C1 and a blue-haired Mr Sim C2. I forgot to take a good pic of C1 but here’s C2:

C1 was paired with another in game sim – Danielle J and C2 with a Chinese girl that I downloaded.

That was the third generation. C1 and Danielle produced a blond boy – D1 while C2 has an evil sim, D2.

I think I’m slowly improving the gene pool :) Hopefully I’ll be able to produce some great looking ones like my sims 2!

 

 

Kartun's Favourite 80's Cartoons

I kinda reminisce about the past recently, the games I grew up playing, the shows I grew up watching and the cartoons I grew up with. I was looking at some fro You tube and started to wonder why they don’t make such stuff anymore… Haha.. I’m getting old but these cartoons have left a deep impression on my mind.

1) Thundercats
Thunder Thunder Thundercats….. I still remember coming back from school and switching on the telly at a specific time to watch this cartoon. I also remember my cousin who used to tape all the episodes and rewatched them. Absolutely fabulous. I’m still waiting for a Thundercats Movie.

2) The Real Ghostbusters
Slimer, the Marshmellow man… the song.. arghh…

3) Transformers
More than meets the eyes… I can’t believe my luck when they start showing this series recently on TV. Hehe… The old transformers.. the old Starscream…This cartoon ran for several years, it must be good..

4) Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
Has one of the most catchy songs during the 80′s. I remembered I never miss a single episode of this cartoon and was in love with that cowboy character :)

5) Alvin and the Chipmunks
A different genre of cartoon altogether. Who doesn’t love them? I can’t wait for the squekuel of the movie to come out at the end of the year :)

Kartun's cute cute babies!

I can’t believe I haven’t updated this site for such a long time… The lack of time simply is not an excuse anymore :(

It’s September, in fact today is the momentous 090909. There’s a lot of September babies out there.. wonder what’s the reason. To all the September babies: Happy Birthday! It’s your month :) As I am typing this, my friend is in the delivery room, labouring… argh…

For such a celebrative month, I’ve decided to write about cute and famous cartoon babies. Here are my finds:

1) Baby Gokou – Adorable!

baby goku

2) Baby Gohan – Even cuter than the dad :)

baby gohan

3) Baby Kurama – Love those big round eyes and chubby cheeks!

Kartun's Famous Ninja Dogs

I’m a dog lover, even own a dog myself. Although she doesn’t have any ninja abilities, I still love her :)

Today we’re not gonna talk about my dog. I’m going to introduce some canine friends that deserve to be famous! Let’s start with the most famous one -

Pakkun
I’m sure you have heard of him. He’s a pug – thus the name “Pakkun”. Why is he so famous? Well.. that’s because he’s Kakashi’s pet. Hmmm… He seems to lead the nin-dog pack in Naruto, seems aged with wisdom and best of all, he talks! Here’s an episode where he meets Sakura:

Ain’t he cute? Despite his small size, Pakkun is vey useful. He has very sharp sense of smell . He can easily determine the type of scent, how far it is, and how dangerous the person is.

Now, let’s go the our sencond famous dog -

Akamaru
Kiba’s best friend. The inuzuka family has a lot of dogs, but most famous one belongs to their son Kiba. Akamaru’s heightened senses, such as smell and hearing, along with Kiba’s ability to communicate with him, make him a powerful ally for gathering and sharing information. He can also sense chakra with his nose, so he can judge an enemy’s strength and warn Kiba if they are particularly powerful.

However, Akamaru’s most powerful ability is shown in this video:

Yay! He can combine with Kiba to form a 2 headed beast called Soutourou (2 headed wolf).

My last dog does not come from Naruto but from a rather unknown Ninja series. He’s none other than  -

Hemu-Hemu

Who is this? Well, he’s that dog from Nintama Rantarou. The one that always sabotages their plots. Hemu-hemu behaves more like a human than a dog. He’s the principal’s best friend and is in charge of ringing the school bell. He’s around 20 years old and has a myriad of activities, including one that resembles Sasuke’s Katon Ryuk no Jutsu.

Do you have other famous Ninja dogs in mind? Please share with me :)

Dragon Ball Kai

db_kai_logo

There’s a recent hype about a certain anime series entitled “Dragon Ball Kai”. I have watched Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and even Dragon Ball GT, but  have certainly not seen a Dragon Ball Kai.

Deeper research led to the authenticity of this anime: The “kai” ? simply means “modified”. Modified? How? Isin’t Dragon Ball good enough by itself (Don’t talk about the movie). To celebrate Dragon ball’s 20th anniversary ( I thought it’s more than that?!), the Japanese TV has extensively refreshed the series, shortening the 291 episodes to a mere 100. The fillers were taken out. The sound system and artwork was improved and they even managed to make it HD!! With a 16:9 ratio! Now… I have to see that :)

Here’s the trailer for Dragon Ball Kai:

And here’s the opening:

I’m looking forward to this :)

Showcase of my pregnant sims

I always find it funny when the Sims are about to give birth. The game’s AI will transport you to another realm and you’ll get to see your sims suffer and twisted expressions. 

I’ve played this game many times and have managed to collect different sims giving birth at times that we human can’t fathom :)

The normal ones (with pregnancy clothes)

The early ones (with pyjamas, can’t wait to jump out of bed)

and another while partying (done in the guest toilet)!

But the weirdest of all are the pregnancies by male sims… they are hilarious!

Famous Water-melon smashing scenes

This website has been neglected for almost 2 months. My sincere apology. So many things cropped up during these 2 months, so much so that I didn’t even get the chance to catch Dragonball evolution. Now, how busy can one get?

Some say April is the beginning of summer. I can’t agree more. The weather this week has reached a whopping 35 degree Celcius! We are all sweltering and covered with a BO that refuses to diffuse :(

Summer brings us a lot of memories, both fun and not. One of the funniest and most engaging activities that those anime characters do during the summer is water-melon smashing. Haha… And the venue is usually the beach! How apt can that be? I suppose water-melon is considered a refreshing fruit, and it does quench your thirst on a hot scorching day. But is that the reason the smash it open?

I’ve done some research and collected some fun water-melon smashing scenes for our viewing pleasure…

1) Azumanga Daioh
Done between Tomo and Kagura for several times.

azumanga_daioh

2) Full Metal Panic
Between Sousuke and his classmates, but that never happened. I can’t find the picture, so I substituted it with this…

fmp

3) Nogizaka Haruka No Himitsu
Hazuki has done us proud :)

4) Ranma 1/2
There are numerous water-melon smashing scenes, even a contest. However, I can’t find any pictures of them.. just his one with Ranma in a watermelon swimsuit and with some watermelons in the background :(

I love watermelon on a hot day.. don’t you?
