Doraemon is a dysfunctional robotic cat from the 22nd century who came to the past to help the life Nobita Nobi, since his bungling in school and his career has left his family in poverty which is felt right up to his decendants.
Doraemon originated in Japan and was aired by TV Asahi in 1979 and have since become very famous, especially in Southeast Asia.
The latest voice actor for Doraemon, Oyama Nobuyo have appeared in a tv show showing her skills in Arkanoid. However, she mentions that she's only good at Arkanoid and no other games. :)
Doraemon's favorite food is dorayaki. If you're interested in finding where they sell the snack in Malaysia, here's where you can find it. :D
[Edit 2006/10/10]
An anouncement as of 13/3/2005 in Anime News Network have confirmed new voice actors for Doraemon with Mizuta Wasabi as Doraemon. What's surprising is that Seki Tomokazu (Sagara Sousuke - Full Metal Panic, Yzak Joule - Gundam SEED) will be voicing Suneo. :))
I wonder how he will sound like. :D

Destinies of Elements Omake 004
Phew, finally! The 4th one!
Experimenting with manga style panels, so excuse me if the ordering of the panels are not very clear.
This scene did not actually happened per se. Our Ninja friend DID take off his disguise in an alley, if memory serves, and it happened a little later. His clothes did not fall off like that though. But hey, it's an omake. It's supposed to be exaggerated. :p
Prince of Persia the Somewhat Original Version
Ahh yes, Prince of Persia. I remember the old times when I played the game in the PC. I forgot whose PC it was but anyway, it was a fun game.
I was really delighted when they start to modernize the game and make it 3D. I tried Prince of Persia 3D and I felt that it was a real let down.
When I heard of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and see that Ubisoft was the one making the game, my apprehension of another Prince of Persia remake in 3D was overcome with expectation. It's Ubisoft, right? They wont screw it up, right? Fortunately, they didn't and it became one of the best selling games in 2003.
I was just casually scanning through Jay Is Games and found this flash remake of the original Prince of Persia game (sort of). Enjoy :).

Day 397
One thing led to another and now I'm up a tree watching the others fight some strange people from a tree. Definately not bandits this time. They seemed angry... could be because we accidently found their secret base/village in the forest.
Ah Jack's with me. He just strolled back into the woods and climbed up next to me. After he, Alex, Joe (the mech), Kleos (my hired gun) and Asil walked into their compound to say hi, that is. Can't see Sigel and Render though. They must've did the smart thing and hide in a tree like me.
How I got on the tree here is a long story...
They walked back to the camp last night and told me that there was a Rift Fiend in the woods. They came back to resupply, apparently they've lost their provisions. That's what you get for being careless.
Rift Fiends. Haven't heard of them for a long time. Though most of those chaos creatures died after the great war, some still survive in the wild as nothing more than animals. Big, dangerous animals that's built for killing everything else.
So, I decided to get back to the truck and bring more help right away. I brought Kleos and Joe the next morning. Although the drive to Blackwood is only about half an hour, why it took me the whole night to bring them back to camp? Well... it's... it's complicated...
Anyway I brought them back to camp and then I decided that I should lead the team this time. Yup, that's me, brave, self sacrificing... and that Alex was holding my arm as he walked in front of me is because... he's scared and need reassurance... really.
We went back to their camp and retraced their steps. We found some tracks that lead to a pile of icky monster skin. The creature is apparently molting. The bad thing is, it's gotten more dangerous in its new form. The good thing is, it should be weak after the molt for a few hours. If we can kill it then, everything should be ok. Hey, you don't spend half your life with adventurers without knowing a thing or two about them.
Well, how we found this village is another strange thing. Render dropped his mother's lucky charm and he didn't know what it was. I've seen enough of Fayne using it so, I tought him how to use that Spyglass of True Seeing. Which is when we found out that the gorge in front of us is not a gorge at all, actually it's another part of the woods.
We saw these people here and they have to march straight in the village to say hi, presumably. Without a word, they attacked the party. Luckily I had the smarts to climb up the tree to... observe.
Did some tree fell in the woods? Felt a large thud just now. The battle's almost won. I saw a few of the attackers seemed to take their own lives than be taken ali... there it is again. What IS that... uh oh... oh no... oh no... big big... ha(@fsla!@#joalj The tree is cut! I'm FALLIIIIIIINNNG!~~~~~~~Q@#!

Day 396
We reached Blackwood without incident. Alex (the Knight) and I are now standing in line to recharge the truck and his bike's crystal batteries. The others went off somewhere exploring the town. I think Sigel's still sleeping though... oh how he can he sleep. It's 1 in the afternoon and he's still~ oops moving along.
It's dark now and I'm stuck in the woods with three men of the town's milita. How did I get here?
Well, it all started when we met the mayor in the Ether Node complex where we were recharging the batteries. Apparently they are having some serious problems with animals running out of the forest and attacking people. Apparently those wolves we encountered were originally from this area.
The mayor sent some of his militia to Blackwood Forest to investigate. And he asked us to look for them since they didn't report back for days.
Well, being the noble, kind hearted and helpful person that I am I decided that we should aid these poor people. And the fact that they have a stockpile of unsold famous Blackwood Wine due to these problems and are willing to give us a whole cart of the stuff which could possibly fetch me more money than I'd earn in a year has nothing to do with it... honest.
Anyway, I got Alex, Asil, Render and Sigel (after much head-dumping-in-water-basin by Alex) to go along and hired a car to get us to the wood's edge. The road there's too small for the truck.
I did notice that Asil got a quarterstaff on her back. Hmm... wonder where she's been hiding that.
We picked up their trail, and after a few numbing hours of walking in the woods, we found these three camping here, next to a part of the woods that's too dark for me to see. It's as if there's two separate forests.
Apparently, the other 10 went in there and never came back for four days. The others decided to follow them while I stayed back with the remaining militia.
So now here we are exchanging stories and stuff. They told me a bit about this place. Blackwood started out as an outpost 50 years ago. Some soldiers stumbled upon this place and its Ether Node and thought it was a good place to have an outpost south of Cardia.
A couple of years later, they abandoned it for a better position north of here and civilians started moving into Blackwood. They found the soil very good for grape growing and there's plenty of clean water. Thus the famous Blackwood Wine began production. I've seen some of the rarer red wine fetching for 50,000 credits a bottle. Some people even go as far to say that some of their white wine have healing properties and can heal many illness (but they apparently do not heal hangovers).
Blackwood was so named because of this part of the woods. Two different type of trees grow here. The tall less leafy ones near the town and the shorter heavy leafy types here. The shorter trees casts a perpetual shadow and apparently the locals don't travel very deep inside that part of the woods.
We heard a loud scream just now. Doesn't sound like anything human. I hope they are ok in there. More importantly, I hope we are ok over HERE. I hope I remember the where I parked the car...
