Life is tough.  I’m still learn­ing how *not* to spell focus with “focous” while writ­ing titles of Monthly Focus.  After the spring semes­ter started, keep­ing up with updates and other stuff proved to be a bit over­whelm­ing… espe­cially now I picked up Mabinogi once again xD  In case you noticed this site’s down­time a just a few days ago… it is because my yearly domain con­tract expired, again. –_–

Pathetic excuses are pathetic.

Jan­u­ary was a quiet mohth, except when cel­e­brat­ing Kagamine twins’ 2nd birth­day.  (PS: to accu­rately doc­u­ment Rin and Len’s age, please use 14+n nota­tion :p for exam­ple, now they are 14+2 years old)   12/27 was their birth­day… and 1/30 was Megurine Luka oneesan’s birth­day… yet her anniver­sary songs are still being made, we’ll see about them in the next issue of Focus.

“There is no doubt­ing it. Redire’s power level is over 9000. ”

It’s one of the “n won­ders of Mabinogi Main­stream quests”.  Here is an ana­lyt­i­cal report, writ­ten by kitaek27 and is backed with facts and sta­tis­tics, on how and why Redire is one of the leetest NPC in Mabinogi.  Be warned, though, as it is obvi­ous that the topic con­tains Gen­er­a­tion 2 and 3 spoiler ~

But Fer­ghus is still »» all.

Hav­ing the tam­ing part fin­ished for Gen­er­a­tion 8, it is only mat­ter of time when the entire generation’s main­stream quest is fin­ished.   I over­es­ti­mated the chal­lenge posed by the final boss and the fun of killing it…   But here, Taunes rid­ing his newest pet uni­corn in <SPOILER> is worth to see, at least. :p

With Nexon being sur­pris­ingly gen­er­ous, I reached lv70 for the first time on my char­ac­ter… never again this shall hap­pen, I assume, because I have no plan of pay­ing for dou­ble exp pots >.<

With G9’s arrival mate­ri­al­iz­ing just beyond the hori­zon, I have some­what final­ized my skill set–lastly, with rank­ing up my newest favorite skill.  Now, hav­ing achieved most of my goals in skills, pour­ing AP into Alchemy skill can be done with­out hesitation ^^

Thanks go to all who helped me with the final boss and more impor­tantly, I shall express my high­est grat­i­tude to peo­ple ran with me in Karu dun­geon for many times ^^

Here you see (the new) me with a fierce-looking boar, tamed.  I would like to con­grat­u­late myself for pass­ing the hard­est part of Gen­er­a­tion 8’s main­strem quest of Mabinogi.

It all started with the sim­ple and stu­pid mis­take I made when I ended my long absence from the game.  The plan was to rebirth as a female and bor­row a Rac­coon Cub Wiz­ard Suit from a friend… but then I for­got the fact that the suit requires age 17 to wear; the tragedy ensues when I rebirthed to an 11-year-old loli.

Six weeks of wait­ing is too long.  Mean­while I did my part in spam­ming Karu parts dun­geons and got 3 –cp enchants, and finally a female light armor with the 4th –cp enchant from (the god-knows-how-many-good-stuff-he-has) friend.  Then I looked like on the screen­shot, in a set that I call my sadis­tic “train­ing” suit. :3

Basi­cally if I’m read­ing the news cor­rectly, all play­ers will be able to receive a free item spec­i­fied by Nexon from the Item Shop once the fea­ture is up run­ning… which will be later.  Now, for the com­ing three days includ­ing today, all play­ers can grab a free 2x exp pot for 2 hours.

Although such fea­ture may seem odd at first glance, but I believe it is a part of the new Cash Shop sys­tem that will be imple­mented in Feb­ru­ary.  Given the Korean prece­dence on revamp­ing their monthly ser­vice and the con­tro­ver­sial split of Nao’s revivial ser­vice from Fan­tasy Life pack­age, the com­ing change to NA Mabinogi’s Cash Shop has drawn atten­tion and fear for the pos­si­ble “pay per Nao” to be imple­mented just like the Korean Mabi.

Any­way, from the look of it, when the free item give­away fea­ture up run­ning, I highly doubt that the dou­ble exp potion can be gifted more than once per week… so act now and grab the three free 2x exp pots before it’s too late!

End of the year means three things to me:

• (Not so much of) Free time
• Comiket (77)
• Kagamine twins birth­day celebration

Can’t see it with­out love?  Maybe.  Any­how, it looks like I’ve over­es­ti­mated the num­ber of men­tion­able hol­i­day themed songs this year ;_;  Also, I under­es­ti­mated the num­ber of peo­ple who’d rather curse Christ­mas than celebrate.  Hopefully you chose to spent time with your fam­ily rather than your (per­haps non-existing) other half?

【初音ミク】My Dar­lin【オリジナル曲】 | Pro­ducer: Easy­Pop (HP)

Easy­Pop is a tal­ented musi­cian geared toward techno, whom, also as a Vocaloid pro­ducer, is gen­er­ally below the radar.  Her better-known cre­ation, “Coun­try Girl” (カントリーガール) was orig­i­nally voiced by EasyPop’s own sug­ary voice before she dubbed it with Miku.  Don’t mind with the strange error-like effects in her vocaloid songs; those are inten­tional :p

初音ミクのオリジナル曲 機械仕掛けのサンタクロース –Full ver.- | Pro­ducer:  デッドボールP

Dead­ball is a more pop­u­lar pro­ducer… for the good or the bad.  His “neta-ke” works are more numer­ous than hit songs, such as 永久に続く五線譜, an all time clas­sic.  I like his songs purely for the enter­tan­ing values~

Rawr every­one~ Happy new year, 2010, the Year of Tiger~

Hav­ing noth­ing bet­ter to do other than sit­ting in front of my PC and enjoy Umineko no naku koro ni Episode 6, I am very much con­tent with my new year’s eve.  Ryuu-chan’s hol­i­day present is won­der­ful and since the start of Umineko’s seri­al­iza­tion, it became some sort of necessity.

Though I gotta say that Ep6 is noth­ing like I imag­ined: an episode filled with love and Battler’s prowess as the new Game Mas­ter.  In a sense, Episode 6, the Dawn of the Golden Witch, is cen­tered around the theme of love… how­ever, it’ll be much bet­ter with­out Bat­tler being so much of a fail­ure.  Wait, I’d bet­ter put up spoiler tag from now on lol.

There was a fake, but this one is real, as I tested it myself.
