Lot of Loose Ends

Alot happened this past week and I'm still finding things on my To Do List.

First off, I saw on Kotaku that the Video Game Cosplay record was broken this weekend at Akon. I had forgotten that I was there attending and one of my friends participated as Aino from Arcana Heart. Cosplay is great, but I'm very picky of who's pictures I take. I mostly take picture of less used characters, either that or very well done costumes. If you want to see some of the pictures I took, you can check them out in the new Photo Album section. ----->

Secondly, Ninja Gaiden will be arriving in stores today. I've heard much about it's difficulty already. Last night I heard that Itagaki left Tecmo and Team Ninja and is currently suing them for Bonuses unpaid. First off, YOU GO ITAGAKI! He's taken a lesson from us Americans and is suing someone's ass off. Secondly, it'll be interesting to see where he goes and what he does now that he doesn't have the Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden franchises. We'll also be able to see how much of it was Team Ninja. Back when Itagaki said this would be his last Ninja Gaiden, it's pretty obvious that he was hinting at this. Behind all his craziness and antics, I truly believe Itagaki is a pretty normal balanced guy. As much as I hate him sometimes, the video game industry needs someone like him, so I really hope he finds a way to return to making games and continues his success somewhere else.

I've got a few more loose ends, but they'll be tied up in future posts.
