WHAAbalance

It may take me a while but I plan to end Newstory, at some point, and I was having a hard time on settling on what I would do after it. The Tales styled comics are largely meant to be easy to draw and colour, restricting them to three panels helps with that, though Tales of the Old World is proving to be fairly complicated.
Well anywho I finally settled on a sci-fi one, using a fairly large group of characters that I know fairly well due to me having written a few stories with them in it. Also the books of backstory I wrote changed and edit continuosly.
It's kinda a sequal to another story, but they also work as independent works, due to a huge time gap between them, (3000 years).
And I'm going to go about the development of it better then Newstory, which I kinda jumped into after coming up with a fairly rough outline, and what stock characters I would have appearing in it.

I love Gundam Seed, started watching it again for some reason. I just love how there is no true bad side in the whole affair, and most characters are inherently good. Though Rau Le Crueset is truly a magnificent bastard for how he does stuff...yeah I don't really wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet.
I also got an anime sample dvd from a friend and watched three out of the four epsidoes on it, urhm, Basilisk, an anime which appears to be based off the same book as a movie I watched, where two ninja clans go to war, romeo and juliet style.
Mushi-shi, a really strange looking, serious yet funny at the same time anime, that has a focus on Japanese spirituality. It seems like a talky thinking, slow paced one, with little to no action, if the first episode is one to go by.
And School Rumble, one I was looking forward to watching after reading the first five manga books in the series. And it lived up to my epxectations and had me laughing for most of the 30(closer to 23) minutes of its viewing. One I'm definitely interested in getting at some point in the future.

Games are great and all, but I often find they get flat to me after a while, and if they don't have a story it get's tiresome to go back and play them, also they take a lot of time to play, the good ones at any rate(though Halo 3 wasn't half bad). Medieval II is a prime example, technology develops way to slowly for me, I wanna run around with German Zweihanders and stuff from the start, and I wish they had a story of sorts to it, other then, conquer the world to win, I mean that's been done before...(in every game in the series no less)
What I would love to see is a game on the scale of Medieval II, with levelable hero characters, with the capacity to control said characters in a battle, while also allowing for you to issue orders to your armies, and not a dynasty warrior type affair in that regard, more a soul calibur or something except against multiple opponents. With an awesome story tying it all together, I mean with how computers are advancing, this should be possible eventually...
The other problem with games, is how they demand you to play them, there's very little passivity to playing a typical American game, also sci-fi is nearly a dead genre with western games, meaning space based games, and they all end up being clones of star trek and star wars to some degree, where's a damn gundam strategy game in english!
Bah...something something, as one of my friends now annoying says, someone needs to call the WHAAAbalance for me...
anywho sayonara folks
