I was all set to take a bunch of pictures of Madalaine and some ice cream because she beat me at video games, but then I found out that I no longer had any ice cream! But I did find something else she likes...
Chu: I'm sorry, Madalaine. I don't have any ice cream for you! But I did find some Jello!
Madalaine: Yay! It's my favorite flavor, too. Thanks, Daddy.
Madalaine: I'm so happy that I get to share some Jello with Daddy. Make sure you leave me my share! I did beat you, after all.
Madalaine: Daddy! It's the third period, and I'm up by two! I'm going to beat you!
Chu: We'll see about that!
Madalaine: You're so mean, Daddy!
Chu: Just do your best, sweetie.
Madalaine: No! You've tied the game! I've got to score another goal to win!
Chu: You can do it, Madalaine.
Madalaine: Yes! I get a penalty shot! Is it... It's good!
Madalaine: That's it! Time's up! I win! 4 to 3! I finally beat you, Daddy!
Chu: Congratulations, Madalaine! I knew you could do it.

Finally did a new video. This time it's an old Saturn favorite of mine, but I demonstrate the original arcade version instead.
I took Madalaine to the doctor today. She always likes seeing Nurse Kara before she sees the doctor.
Nurse Kara: Hello again, Madalaine. How are you doing?
Madalaine: I'm doing fine.
Nurse Kara: I see you're here for a routine checkup. Do you have any concerns about your health?
Madalaine: No, I'm feeling fine, Nurse Kara.
Madalaine: Oh! That's cold!
Nurse Kara: You wouldn't believe how many times a day I hear that.
Nurse Kara: That's all. The doctor will see you shortly, M
Madalaine: Daddy! Are we going to read the Revolutionary Girl Utena book from the new DVD set like you promised?
Chu: Of course! Let's have a look at it now.
Madalaine: It's a sketch of Utena herself! I like Utena.
Chu: I like her too, Madalaine. She's a very strong-willed and determined girl.
Chu: Are you enjoying the laserdisc liner notes?
Madalaine: Please, Daddy! I'm reading!
Chu: Oh, sorry.
Madalaine: Daddy! Help me! The book is trying to eat me!
Chu: Nice try, Madala
My daughter Madalaine has been feeling a bit sad lately. She asked me a shocker of a question that I never expected, but I guess that comes with the territory when you're a father.
Madalaine: Daddy? Do you love me?
Chu: What? Of course! I love you very much! Why don't you think I love you?
Madalaine: It's because you've been so busy playing video games and reading comic books and watching anime. You don't seem to have any time for me anymore! We haven't had any Daddy and Madalaine t
I just got this earlier today. It's a PC Engine Duo-R. It's the Japanese version of the TurboGrafx-16/Turbo Duo video game console from the early 90s. This Duo-R is similar to the US-released Turbo Duo.
Donna stands next to all the PC Engine stuff I have so far. Two controllers, an American TurboGrafx CD game, and the console itself.
She inserted my only game, Last Alert, into the drive bay. The laser in the drive is new.
Donna checks out the HuCard port. She sees the Japanese
EDIT: It has been announced that the DRM is being patched out immediately after the game launches, so there will be no asinine offline restrictions. I'm keeping this blog and video up as an example of why DRM doesn't work, though.

Video games were better when DRM wasn't so asinine.
And for my final new doll for a while, I'd like to introduce my new brown-hair Cowgirl Momoko doll. Her name is Tex. She's a bit of a tomboy, and she's a raucous cowgirl! She meets my older blond Cowgirl Momoko doll, Sammy, in this little photo story.
Tex struts on to the scene as if she owns the place.
Sammy: "Hey, pard-ner! May I have this dance?"
Tex: "Sure! I was just about to ask you the same thing."
Tex: "I'm not swinging you around too fast, am I?"
Sammy: "Not at all!
Madalaine saw a new girl in the neighborhood as she was walking home from school today.
Madalaine: "Excuse me! Hello! I haven't seen you around here before."
Shiori: "La-la-la-la... oh, hi!"
Madalaine: "Hello! My name is Madalaine. What's yours? Are you new here?"
Shiori: "Nice to meet you, Madalaine. My name is Shiori. I just moved here a few days ago."
Shiori: "Oh dear, I have lost a contact. Can you help me please?"
Madalaine: "Certainly. I just hope I don't step on
My new Momoko girl Madalaine arrived yesterday. She's sweet as sweet can be!
This is the first picture I took of her. I took it as a quickie for the Friday Night Chat on Dolly Daily. I generally don't use those types of pics for anything but the chat and take better pics later, but I liked this one pic so much that I had to keep it. I hadn't even put her stand together yet, so I had to kneel her down on a CD jewel case. I think she looks like a sweetheart
Madalaine is actually named
I actually had these girls for about a month, but I never got around to taking pics of them. Shame on me! ^_^' I finally made a little photostory for them.
Kasumi is the Fireworks Date girl on the left, and Mickie is the Milk Tea Party black version girl on the right. Kasumi's name inspiration came from the video game character Kasumi from the Dead or Alive series. You can find a very nice pic of her here. The name Mickie kind of sounds like milk, her Momoko concept name, so I decided to go
First post about my dolls in a while ^_^' Well, here it goes.
Volks USA had put some new clothes on sale a few weeks ago. Most of it sold out within the first four minutes, but I got a little bit of what I wanted after all.
Here's Yukino in her new schoolgirl outfit. I wasn't able to get the boots that went on sale with the outfit, but I felt that these simple black shoes were good replacements. There's actually a dress under that coat! It's a really nice coat, though. Yukino's lovely
This isn't one of my better videos, but darn it, it's almost time for Wrestlemania 27! I had to do a video about one of the craziest wrestling games ever made.

I also discuss the SNES, PS1, and Saturn versions, but the arcade version takes center stage in this video.
I made another video. This time it's about a bunch of light guns.

Ys is a video game series from Japan that dates back to the late 1980s. It's an action RPG series known for its unique combat systems and keen sense of adventure. It is rather popular in Japan, but it is mostly unheard of elsewhere in the world. Up until last year, Ys releases outside Japan have been few and far between. Last summer XSeed games began bringing Playstation Portable versions of Ys games to America in grandiose fashion. Included in the special edition release of Ys Seven is a map th
More doll stuff, but it's Atari related. This is actually an older set of pictures I took about a year and a half ago. I had a crappier camera back then.

Yukino is playing a video game
Uh-oh! It looks like things just got intense!
Yukino takes a break from the action to flip through the Atari video game catalog. She sees some games she might want to play.
Yukino now browses through her collection of games.
Yukino loves Pac-Man.
And a
I had never seen the movie Top Gun until just a few hours ago. I had played the NES game a few times at a friend's house when I was a kid, but the first Top Gun game I really got into was the PC game from last year. I got it for $2.50 during the Steam holiday sale and beat it on Christmas day.
The story didn't really make much sense to me in the game. Having seen the movie, it's apparent that they were trying to adapt the movie story entirely into dialog while showing planes flying. It also
I might as well use the blog section to share some of my other hobbies. Dolls are one of my favorite hobbies, and I coincidentally took a few pics today that serve well to introduce most of the dolls I have.
Here are Alna (right) and Yukino (left) looking lovely! They're both wearing their cute white heels that I got for them last year. They're very nice, and they go well with their classy party outfits. They look like they're at a party of some sort.
Alna's wearing a pretty light bl
