Welcome to my website, JustinAaron.com. I'm Justin, and this is basically my little corner on the net for all my websites and projects. Hope you'll stick around for a while, because I've got quite a lot coming in the near future (hopefully). Whether it's videogames, anime, sports or anything else that interests me, you better believe I'll be covering it here or on one of my sites.

UPDATE : 7/17/2008 : More unleashed...
SONIC UNLEASHED gameplay and Q&A video. WANT.

UPDATE : 7/16/2008 : Sonic, AMVs, and music...
New SONIC UNLEASHED trailer from E3. Holy... that song is GOD AWFUL. Not "We Can" awful... but awfully darn close. I pray that's just for promoting the game and not an actual song in the game (but I have a feeling it's the game's main theme). Sorry, I just need my CRUSH 40 fix in my Sonic games. Video-wise, I'm now hyped more than ever for the game.

AMV TKO Round 4 is all but finished, I just have to make a few final tweaks. Plus, as stated before, I want to have the AMV TKO website up and going to coincide with Round 4's release.

Also, ROCK BAND 2 is being released this fall. Sorry Guitar Hero, but Rock Band is the way to go according to everything that's been announced so far.

Other E3 news... if Resident Evil 4 was any indication, Resident Evil 5 is looking like the best game EVER. Also, possible hard-drive support for Xbox 360 games, as in you can play disc games from the hard drive instead off from the disc (you still need the disc to do it though) which could highly decrease loading times. That might even make Sonic 06 somewhat enjoyable, since loading times were my main gripe with the game.

UPDATE : 7/12/2008 : I should know better...
I got a kitty:

Such a tiger in looks AND personality.

Also threw together a quick links page.

UPDATE : 7/11/2008 : JOY
I was thrilled to find out that FUNIMATION has joined forces with formerly defunct GENEON and will be releasing the anime titles that GENEON dropped when they basically went under. This means HELLSING ULTIMATE will continue to see the light of day in the U.S., which makes me VERY happy.

Among the other titles I'm happy about their return is SHAKUGAN NO SHANA. While a complete boxset of season 1 has been announced for release, season 2 (as well as the OVAs), haven't been mentioned yet, but it's a safe bet they will be in the future at some point. Here's just hoping they release the box for the box set seperately for the devoted fans who bought season 1 during it's initial DVD release.

Here's also hoping for a STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW OVA release in the U.S.

I watched Vol. 2 of Lucky Star today. After eight episodes, I can honestly say I'm enjoying the show, but I still have yet to see what made the show so immensely popular. I'm beginning to believe it's opening title sequence is the sole reason the show gained such high reguard from it's fans. Although, I will admit, it has other amusing moments. SPARKING!

UPDATE : 6/30/2008 : The next project...
I've pretty much decided that I'll be opening the AMV TKO site to coincide with the release of ROUND 4 of the series.

Speaking of which, it's coming along nicely, although it's turning out much different than I originally planned it out. By no means is that a bad thing, it's just a little different than the previous rounds. I'm sure you'll see when I finish it.

Got to spend more time with the ToV demo and I have to say that the battle system does not favor the player that much. You get in your hack n' slash attacks in and you are pretty much left wide open for being attacked by the enemy. And that boss is just downright hard. Not Ninja Gaiden hard... but hard enough. Here's hoping the final product is more player friendly... like Symphonia (original), which was one thing that made Symphonia so great.

I still have to finish Tales Of The Abyss...

UPDATE : 6/21/2008 : Tales Of Vesperia...
Using a little common known trickery, I was able to download the demo of Tales Of Vesperia from the Japanese XBox Live. And despite the fact I downloaded it using a Japanese account, the entire thing was in English, voices and all. I'm guessing that I downloaded the demo that will be put up on the English XBox Live despite using a Japanese account. But it's still not up on the English version so this was the only way to get it now.

Anyway, the game has a definite TALES OF THE ABYSS feel to it, moreso than TALES OF SYMPHONIA, which is by no means a bad thing. Let's just hope SYMPHONIA II plays like it's predecessor. One of the interesting parts of playing the TALES games is that they tweak the battle system with every new game, so learning how to battle effectively is always an interesting journey. And the fact that you can play as a wolf is just downright awesome.

To see a TALES game in high-def just makes the fanboy in my go crazy. Not only does the game look phenomenal, but the sound is top-notch as well, with another great soundtrack (from what I've heard so far) by Motoi Sakuraba. You can definitely hear some of feel of his past works, such as SYMPHONIA and Eternal Sonata (Trusty Bell in Japan).

All I can say is that I'm definitely looking forward to this game and it can't come out fast enough.

I'm going to see the Phillies play today and it'll be the first time I'm going to their new stadium. Should be a blast. Hopefully, I'll have some good pics up on my MySpace later tonight.

Also, (Ninja) Awesome Gaiden. So true on EVERY level.

UPDATE : 6/15/2008 : Random thoughts...
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is releasing WWE ANTHOLOGY II. Me=happy. Hopefully it will be as good as the first.

I got around to beating SONIC And The Secret Rings for the Wii today. Got to say, I didn't have my hopes to high for the game, but it soundly surprised me. The controls were a bit iffy at times, but overall, I really enjoyed it and it's got me looking forward to SONIC UNLEASHED (which btw, is it's final name and not SONIC WORLD ADVENTURE as previously stated here).

Not too long ago, I bought a subscription to NEWTYPE USA, an anime magazine released in America based on the NEWTYPE magazine from JAPAN. Needless to say, this magazine was awesome. It had the look and feel of the original magazine and it had more anime and videogame info than you could ask for. Unfortunately, due to multiple issues (that mostly surrounded around money), the magazine folded and was replaced by a magazine called PiQ. It had the same staff as Newtype USA working on it, so I was hopeful (along with the two-issues for every issue left in my subscription) that I'd still get some great anime and videogame info.

Well, unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. I got four issues of PiQ so far, and all I can say is that this is a sad magazine for an anime fan. I'd say barely 10% of PiQ is based around anime and the rest is based on comic books, novels, British television and a whole bunch of other media I couldn't give a damn about. I'm sure I wasn't the only former Newtype subscriber who was a little ticked off.

So it came as no surprise to me when I learned that PiQ had folded. Seriously, I paid for anime... I want anime. Nothing more, nothing less. Was that so difficult for them to understand? Well, good riddance I say, but I better be getting a refund of some sort.

UPDATE : 6/10/2008 : New things and changes?
Finally got my hands on a Playstation version of SNATCHER. That was a long time coming. I even made a wallpaper for The Kremlin using the game's cover.

SONIC UNLEASHED is supposedly going through a name change. Can't say I'm all shocked, but... SONIC WORLD ADVENTURE? Hmm...

Speaking of changes, I've decided to cut back on some of my projects here on my site. I just put way to much on my plate, so to speak. AMV TKO ROUND 4 is underway in production, though, and I hope to have that finished before the end of summer.

On another note, I'm loving my Wii. I picked up a few games, including HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3. Loads of fun and it brings back some memories. The only bad thing about the Wii? So many classic games to download, so little money to spend. I'm still waiting on RBI Baseball and Yoshi's Island to be released.

UPDATE : 5/26/2008 : Who's Got A Wii?
On this great Memorial Day, I picked up a Wii for dirt cheap (compared to eBay costs anyway) at a Cash Converters. No games as of yet, but that will change in the near future. I spent enough money on the system, that games were out of the question at the moment. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up a Wii at that cost. Besides, I have a bunch of GameCube games to play still and I can hopefully get some money back when I sell my GameCube. And I bought it moreso for the downloadable games anyway, so once my Wii internet router shows up, I'll be happy.

In other news:
IRON MAN : Awesome.

TALES OF... : Looking forward to two new TALES OF ... games coming out (now that I have a Wii), one being a direct sequel to one of my all-time favorite games, TALES OF SYMPHONIA (Wii) and one for the 360, TALES OF VESPERIA. It will be interesting to see how a TALES games looks in high def.

BAND HERO : At least, that's what I would call it now. Guitar Hero will be adding drums and a microphone, following after the success of ROCK BAND. The drum set looks sweet. And then there is Guitar Hero Aerosmith, which I'm actually looking forward to.

LUCKY STAR : Fun anime show (after 4 episodes), but I have yet to see what the fuss is all about.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...
