Nintendo Games Review: Little Samson, Totally Rad, Friday the 13th
Little Samson Nintendo Game Review Among the last Nintendo games, I played was Little Samson. I enjoyed this game a lot. I remember that among the hardest worlds to conquer was the one of the Little Samson. There was just one great leap forward that I always failed to jump over. Anyhow, the concept of the game is pretty interesting. Four warriors brought together to fight an evil mage. Each is a representative of their respective nature world. The Dragon is of the wind. The boy from fire. The golem from earth. Lastly, the small rat from grass. I remember...
Artsy Sister Reviews Bonsai Thai and Sushi Restaurant
It is always fun to write about food. Most of my happy memories are in restaurants. This weekend we went to Bonsai. It has been forever since we visited our favorite Thai and Sushi restaurant. The waitresses were pretty happy to see us. We must be the last tippers left in the entire world. We know what it is like to live from tips. My mother started out as a waitress when we moved to the States. The tips were the only reason we managed to survive. Moving along. We started by ordering drinks. Mother has developed a taste for...
Manga Reviews: Ramna, Akira, Rohan, Tokyo Babylon, Thermae Romae
Ranma ½ Manga Review Ranma ½ was one of the first mangas I ever read. Later on, I did try to watch the anime show. I wasn't able to watch it. It could have also been the fault of bad English duds.

Ranma also has his own issues. One day while training, he falls into a cursed lake. Whenever he is exposed to cold water, he turns into...
Manga Review: Demon Diary, XXXHolic, Ayako, Swallowing the Earth
Demon Diary Manga Review Demon Diary is an interesting 7 volume comic that I liked for some reason. It is a bit yaoi, but not too over the top. It is about an orphan boy that one day gets chosen to be a demon lord. He was not aware of his demonic powers. Since he did not have a proper education, it becomes the task of Eclipse to mold him into a proper demon. The problem is that Raenef V is a really nice kid. He does not fit in a world where you have to be evil and mean...
Manga Reviews: Uzumaki, MW, Dororo, The Princess Knight, and Others
Uzumaki Manga Review This is one of the most disturbing mangas I have ever read. It follows in the strange tradition of bizarre Japanese horror movies, like the Grudge. This one is about a town that was cursed by the spiral or Uzumaki. It may sound a bit lame; however, it was handled brilliantly thematically. Most of the time, I had no idea what the hell was going on. Some of the chapters are too disturbing for me to go into. Still, if you like horror movie skits this is a good graphic novel to read. The manga has about...
