Potential Manga: Tripeace!
Hai my school term just started, been on the ball with keeping up with my weekly readings (and trying to read the next week's), attempted twice (or thrice, i'm not sure) to buy my textbooks but gave up after seeing the sea of people at the bookshop.
So anyway, i decided to browse through manga a while ago. "the collapse of the world as we know it" is still as random, it doesn't have a storyplot. Hell it doesn't even have a plot, not even an event. All it has is a sequence of pictures that lead to the last frame with no meaning.. that random.
Well my point wasn't that manga anyway... As mentioned in the title, i read Tripeace.. The first few chapters were cheesy, especially the first chapter- Amnesia again? argurerghagrvbc if the main character had FULL amnesia (or such a thing) then how can he know that has amnesia? More specifically, how can he know that he had forgotten something? Or at the very least, he shouldn't even know the word amnesia. He knows the word amnesia but not the quantitative words like "billion"? Really??! If we go according to brain function, he should be either fully capable or incapable of speech. There's no loss of half of your vocabulary or some crap. Then again, we apply the golden rule of Manga-"anything can happen" and i get pwnt hard. Who cares about the logic of the nitty gritty details (ok, NOT so nitty gritty- it was practically the background introduction of the character), shoddy first chapter full of plotholes and cheese?
I digressed. Tolerate the first few chapters, keep your mind open (well it's evident mine wasn't that open) and the following chapters will become better. I generally like mangas that show how the characters train up from weaklings to becoming super strong and stuff, but i don't really like sports manga. Contradicting lolz.
Still, Tripeace seems like it has alot of potential- I've only read till chapter 7. There's so many ways it could go right, so many ways it could fail.. isn't it exciting? :D
P.S.: Upon reflection, I liked Kurohime's storyplot! Gantz story was good through 4/5 of the whole story. If you read the later chapters, i personally think that it was crap- it was way out of this world, literally.
So.. yeah. Go read Tripeace! Endure the first few chapters!

Setting Laptop Resolution for DoTA
This was just a handy tip for those who don't like playing DoTA on a stretched screen, like a widescreen laptop.
1)Find out your desktop resolution, or preferred resolution. For example, mine is 1366 x 768. (Because your desktop resolution is usually fine and not stretched.)
2) open "regedit" (registry editor), go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\Video.
3) Under the "Name column", look for resheight and reswidth, and doubleclick on it to change the values.
Change the base from "hexadecimal" to "decimal", and then enter your screen resolution under "value data", under the respective names(resheight for height, reswidth for width). Finally, click on "hexadecimal" to convert your desired screen resolution into hexadecimal format and press ok.
For me, i changed reswidth from decimal 1024 to 1366.
Hope that's helpful :)

silver spoon
one of the most interesting mangas i found today!
Gin no Saji (Silver spoon)
It's a manga about agriculture, which is a refreshing new genre away from the millions of battle/highschool mangas out there. Ever since Haruhi beca
me popular, even more highschool mangas came out (sket dan, yank
ee kun to megane chan, L*S, etc). Some series try to provide a different concept, like Eden no Ori, which is a survival manga with mostly highschool students on a dinosaur island( those who read eden no ori- forget it, just call them dinos. it's simpler this way, just forget about being accurate on what those creatures are ATM). In my opinion it ends up as a survival manga, the dino part was simply what differentiates it from other mystery/survival mangas like Judge, Meteor, Sprite, Higanjima etc.
Which at this point i realised, most survival mangas incl
udes a mystery, which the main characters attempt to solve as they try to survive. The increasing amount of mystery/survival mangas made my interest in the two genres decrease. Maybe because i have been reading too much of such genres and had enough of it. Right now i'm most interested in dining/wine mangas like Bambino, Bartender,
Sommeliere, etc. Not sure if i mentioned it before, but Bambino is a manga on a young man learning to cook in an Italian restaurant, as he finds out more on the different roles of those working in the restaurant, and the types of customers that enter the restaurant. Bartender is a manga on mi
xing drinks(that sounded crude), and Sommeliere is a manga on choosing wine. I find Bartender more interesting than Sommeliere, even though th
ey have the same concept (providing the appropriate alcohol/drink for the customer), maybe because there is mixing involved in Bartender. It's like why Dota is more well known than X Hero seige- there are combinations of items you can choose for 70+ heroes, and there always
will be a new combination of items that works best after some time(popularity of RoR -> tango in the past). Of course, Dota is more popular than X hero for more reasons(like having competiton among people), but let's just pretend that you are in awe by the crap i said about item combinations making things more interesting and stuff.
O yeah i almost forgot to put pics for the manga:
Gin no saji (holy this image is big)
Bartender (manga)
Sommeliere (Manga)Oh and i read somewhere FMA seems to be related to Gin no saji. Same author maybe?
I guess i really need to do my research =x
