The last two months have been really REALLY boring for me. Not having any internet access at all now, plus no money to do anything about it... it's a giant pain in the ass. The real issue is that I don't really want to be working full time and really far away from home right now. I can't help but feel that the choices I have left before me are: a) Work some dead end job the rest of my life and never have enough money to support myself, let alone anyone else. b) Go into the military and let the spell of "Get out of debt" but possibly lose my life doing something I don't believe in, and even if I do survive, I might end up totally mentally screwed up to the point of never being a functional part of society again... it's daunting. This is why I've been working so hard on my legacy now, in case the 2nd choice is forced on me.

The following review may unveil spoilers of past games, and is not recommended to read unless you have played the previous games in the series.

The Ace Attorney series of games (known as Gyakuten Saiban [Turnabout Trials] in Japan) has been one of the best selling series to hit the GBA/DS. Even though it uses low tech graphics and was extremely low budget in its first incarnations as "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney," the series has turned into one of Capcom's most profitable franchises with minimal development cost. It is without question that we owe this series of games a huge thanks for successfully reviving the once dead "adventure" genre of games. The real question with this newest spin off is whether it lives up to the hype and quality of previous Gyakuten games.

ArchDemon said I should write a short story, here it is:

TheXev: What should I write a story about?

Rising: I don't know, you'll think of something.

TheXev: Why am I talking to you?

Rising: Because talking to yourself is the only real intelligent conversation you get on most days.

*bud-um chee*

TheXev: Point taken.

Rising: You could talk about your Kamen Rider script or something.

TheXev: Naw, I've been lazy and haven't worked on it lately. Too much personal stuff in the way.

Rising: You could talk about your gag series, Kamen Rider Spork.

TheXev: Great idea!

For anyone on planet earth left caring, I am still working on one of my idea’s that I blogged about a few years ago… and it is actually progressing. I have thought of a decent back plot, which is something that I wasn’t able to think of until doing more research into my idea. Now it makes simple sense… and my pilot script is flowing pretty naturally.

Been looking for Windows 7 64-bit for your Dell Vostro V13? I just tracked down all the drivers in an hour for a friend of mine, and he said that every single one worked. How is that for some guesswork without the machine in front of you!?

So, here is the list of drivers for anyone to get on their own, for people wanting to move to 64-bit Windows 7 on their Dell Vostro V13 laptop. I’m assuming Google and Bing will take care of getting the word out on this blog post. As for anyone wondering why Dell didn’t include 64-bit drivers on their own site for this, my best guess is that it is because the machine can only support a maximum of 4GB’s of ram, which matches well with Windows 7 32-bit’s max memory range of 4GB. A few of the drivers linked come from the official V13 support page, but others come from other Dell links and 3rd party venders.

View the full version of this article to see all the driver links!

Hi guys, long time no see.

Some might know me under another name. There's nothing much left for me to do at mirror moon, so I'm announcing my retirement. The last two years I haven't really been active, on the account of a full-time job combined with part-time study.

Five years ago, around this day, mirror moon was founded with the original intent to translate Tsukihime. We have gone on and completed other projects, most notable of all being Fate/stay night. I'm surprised it got this far, really.

Thanks guys, it's been fun.

I'll be around if you know where to find me.
