How about bringing japanfiles back and having Music-Fest NOT suck ass.
I mean, seriously, WTH happened?!?
2006 was GREAT! Mothercoat, Goofystyle, Guitar Vader, Swinging Popsicle, Miami, and the likes. I'll PERSONALLY ask them if they want to come to fanime, christ. If not directly to the band, I know the us-branch owner/manager of Japan Files (met him twice- once at fanime when I got my guitar signed by mothercoat and again at Sakuracon 07 when I got Lin Clover to sign my guitar). I had a great time talking to the bands during the convention- really interactive and chill. Or how about getting Lin Clover to show up and play a concert? I could easily ask them also.

This past 2 years the "music-fest" has completely sucked. What bands played in 07/08? Where were the signs that pointed to where they were performing? There was like absolutely NO advertising for any of the bands.
Completely disappointing for the past 2 years. Who the heck runs the show? Christ, you guy's really don't know wtf you're doing. >.>

"Rei: Tsukihami no Kamen" aka "Fatal Frame" for Wii!

Wait... I already have it  ;D  ;)

"Spore" for Wii, and some other Wii games that I can't remember atm.

-the4ork

Hahaha, wow, I know what game you're talking about. All the garbage i've ever found through google ended up not being the game that I was looking for. Granted, I didn't try too too hard to find it... been wanting to play that game for the past forever!

"Schwarzenegger's call for budget cuts, tax hikes draws catcalls from around the state

By Edwin Garcia

Mercury News Sacramento Bureau
Article Launched: 11/06/2008 07:45:12 PM PST


SACRAMENTO — Just six weeks after being signed into law, California's $103 billion budget is in the red by more than $11 billion — prompting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday to take the extraordinary step of calling legislators back to the Capitol to weigh a package of deep spending cuts and new taxes.

But the 1.5-cent temporary sales tax increase the governor proposed hinges on whether legislative Republicans will support the plan. Their immediate answer: "No."

Hoping to stave off the legislative gridlock that resulted in a record three-month delay before the original budget was approved, Schwarzenegger touted his new proposal as a balanced approach. Roughly half of the shortfall would be covered by tax increases, which Republicans loathe, and half with service cuts, which Democrats hate.

With a Nov. 30 deadline to bring the two sides together, Schwarzenegger has his work cut out for him. "If the governor can pull this off in the next three weeks, he is beyond gifted," said Bill Whalen a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. "He's defying a lot of odds."

The sales tax increase was part of a multibillion-dollar package Schwarzenegger announced at a morning news conference to boost revenue and cut spending. He simultaneously called a special session of the lame-duck Legislature, hoping not only to patch the budget but to consider proposals to ease the mortgage crisis for Californians; prop

up the state's nearly bankrupt unemployment insurance fund; and stimulate the economy by, among other things, cutting red tape for hospital construction and making private-sector employees who earn more than $100,000 a year ineligible for overtime, a move business interests long have backed.

But the headline is the budget patch, which comes just weeks after legislators repaired an earlier $15.2 billion budget gap.

"A drastic situation like this takes drastic measures and it needs to take those measures right away," Schwarzenegger said. "That is the important thing."

The $4.5 billion in new cuts would largely come from hacking $2.5 billion in funding for public schools and millions more from the University of California and California State University systems. Schwarzenegger also would reduce prison funding by eliminating the parole requirement for low-risk offenders; force state workers to take one unpaid day off each month; and cut social service programs, including Medi-Cal health benefits, CalWorks job training and Supplemental Security Income for the disabled.

Most of the $4.7 billion in new revenue would come from increasing the sales tax for three years and broadening it to cover things like vehicle repair, veterinary services and tickets to sporting events. Schwarzenegger also proposes to increase the alcohol excise tax by 5 cents a drink.

Schwarzenegger, who spent the spring and summer telling Californians that the state suffered from a "spending problem, not a revenue problem," has changed his tune in light of the declining national economy. In September alone, the state's revenue was $923 million below forecast, in large part because the plunging stock market has slashed capital gains taxes, on which the state depends heavily. Property and sales taxes are also in the tank, as home values have dropped and consumers tightened their wallets.

"In the six weeks since I have signed the last budget, the mortgage crises has deepened, unemployment has increased and the stock market has lost more than 20 percent of its value," he said. "We must stop the bleeding."

Besides the cuts and tax and fee increases, the new budget eats up the $1.7 billion of California's current reserves.

Democratic legislative leaders praised Schwarzenegger for proposing taxes but expressed concern over deep cuts to education and social service programs.

Republican legislative leaders, by contrast, said raising taxes in a poor economy would leave Californians worse off than they are now. "We're not going to deliver a tax increase," Assembly Republican Leader Mike Villines, R-Fresno, stated flatly.

Assuming all the Democrats vote in favor of his plan, Schwarzenegger would need to persuade two Republicans in the Senate and six in the Assembly to achieve the two-thirds majority needed to pass tax measures.

Public reaction to Schwarzenegger's proposal was swift and mostly negative.

"So much of the economy is consumer-driven, especially as we're headed into the Christmas shopping season," said Jon Coupal, of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. He predicted the governor's tax increases "will just slam the brakes on any economic recovery."

Acting Santa Clara County Executive Gary Graves said the proposed cuts would represent "an additional burden that we really can't afford right now." If approved, Schwarzenegger's plan would hit the county's in-home health workers hardest, as their hourly pay would be reduced to $8 from $12.35.

Local education leaders had already anticipated budget cuts but reacted with alarm over the size and the difficulty of slashing their own budgets midyear. "This is a budget bomb for us," said Superintendent Don Iglesias of the San Jose Unified School District, which would lose an estimated $10 million and possibly have to trim programs, purchases and employees.

The Planning and Conservation League, which lobbies for stronger environmental laws, worried about a proposal to waive certain environmental rules for state infrastructure projects, which Schwarzenegger says will stimulate the economy by speeding construction.

"The environmental community will fight it tooth and nail," said Tina Andolina, a spokeswoman for the group, which has many allies in the Democratic caucus. She charged that the proposal would increase pollution and thereby create billions of dollars in health costs.

Extending the sales tax for veterinary care drew heated responses as well.

"With the tough economy, people already are having to make tough decisions about discretionary spending," said Valerie Fenstermaker, executive director of the California Veterinary Medical Association. "We'd hate to see that because of the budget crisis, people might decide they can't afford treatment for their cat or dog."

The proposed sales tax increase would take effect Jan. 1; the tax on services would begin Feb. 1.

But first, the proposal would need to be approved by the Legislature. And while he tries to cajole votes, the governor also will need to make his case to Californians that approving the revised budget is in the state's best interest.

Said Shaun Bowler, a political-science professor at University of California-Riverside: "This is just not a good time to be governor."

CAUSE OF the slide

The state projects personal income taxes will be down $7.2 billion from what was anticipated. Of that figure, $4 billion is from capital gains taxes."

I'm all for it- ironically enough, the day before I read this in the actual newspaper I was bitching about how the US should raise taxes from its current lowass level to something a bit more moderate. Plus, It's not even going to really make a big difference... unless it really bothers you that you have to pay an extra couple of cents on your lunch just to try and fix our budget problems here in Cali.
Although the extra tax on alcohol, for me, is a bit of a "blah" situation  :|

Discuss.

Japan != every other country you can get a work visa at.

Except the US. Working visa is impossible to get now, even if you're working for a major company such as cisco, ibm, intel, etc. They can cough up the 6 grand for the paperwork/fees a year, but theres no guarantee that you'll get the visa. Based upon a lottery. So, 6 grand a year with no guarantee for anything.
Graduate college? OPT time. Sure, you can work legally, but only for one year. If you can't somehow manage to get a working visa within the year, you have to head back to wherever you came from.
Sponsors only cough up the money now, but it is in no way a guarantee on being able to work here.

Only other way is to marry an american, but even then you have a 3+month waiting period and also no sure guarantee on getting a working visa AND it costs 3 grand. Beyond that, internships you have to pay for, what a joke eh?

Though, I am not disagreeing with you- japan is hard to get working rights but it is easier than getting working rights here in the US.
Can't even count how many of my japanese friends went back to japan because its impossible. Students, co-workers, college graduates, and the likes.

What a boring haloween  :-X
Anyways, music cd/dvd collection coming up as an update. For now- Glay Music/Video Collection:

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Music/



For those avid Glay Fans, lol. I will be updating this folder with more music by whiteberry, speed, morning musume, Misia, Nami Amurou, Aucifer, etc.

-the4ork

Met up with Nanashi today- great person, nice to meet you! Haha, we really chatted up a storm  :D
Maybe took a little TOO long, lol.
Anyways, more updates to come (hopefully today). I'm going to be sorting through my J-CD's and anime CD's and try to get those posted up along wtih my artbooks.
Ugh, this all takes forever x_x

-the4ork

Local pickup = $10 ;)

Remember, $15 covers gas to pickup(i have to drive to my storage area- thats $3 in gas right there!), 4% PP fees ($1), and actual shipping charges ($2). In the end, I only take home $9 in my pocked for an hour of my time doing the post, getting pictures, preparing everything, etc.
Not a bad deal my friend. Buy multiple items = shipping discount ;)

-the4ork

I have 2 actually :o

Prices are in the photobucket links. $15 each shipped.

-the4ork

Haha, hey, whats up. Yeah, I talked to Ryne at work on saturday and was telling him about the stuff I have for sale. I'll be bringing in some of my Merch. to the store on Saturday mornings from now on for some in-store sales.
Thanks- I'm going to need it... need to make rent for next month, and the months to follow, haha. Plus, school be starting up soon and I got a fatass bill to pay on that one  :-\

-the4ork

Was not aware that there was s sub-genre of anime called REAL anime  ::)

Haha, i was waiting for someone to say something like that as I figured i would be offending quite a few people and, as I said, I'm an oldtimer when it comes to anime. This may sound harsh, but 80% of the stuff coming out nowadays is garbage in my honest opinion. Granted, after watching Berzerk back in 03 (still have ALL the original fansubs in a box somewhere) my standards shot out the roof with what anime should and shouldn't have  :D

Anyways, PM's will be sent as soon as I whip up my main list.
I will be compiling image collections of all the stuff I have for sale and post them up in my original post along with 1-2 image previews of what's available in that collection of *insert whatever*.
Want to spare those who don't enjoy hi-speed internet or are stuck with DSL (like I am  ::) )

\-the4ork

Guess I should show 2 examples of some stuff I have for sale that are near impossible to find now (and limited in the past):





;)

And theres MUCH more...

-the4ork

[OR]

Many things have changed in the anime scene over the past 15 years for me. Was a great 15 years, but It's time for me to retire my anime collection that has since taken over a full bedroom as of, uh, like a few years ago, haha.
Wasn't able to make it to the swap meet @ fanime thanks to fanime sucking ass on doing shit right on the website, and several other things to boot. I don't have plans on ever attending fanime at this point since the politics behind it all really turned me down, and the scene in general has gotten a bit too mainstream for me [a bit of an oldtimer here, haha. I grew up with the roots of anime such as "アッタク　NO.1 (1969)", "愛してNIGHT (1983)", and "おはよう！スッパンク(1981) ].
Anyways, If people are interested, I have compiled a fairly extensive list of American and Japanese DVD's counting around 150+ or so, in addition to special box sets, limited edition printing/pess, cards, books, memerobilia, figurines, Resin Kits, vintage platformer magazines (STILL SEALED!), posters, and OH so much more.

Forms of Payment:



OR

Local pickup. $5 discount for shipping on all items as long as it is paid in cash. It costs about $1.50 to ship, $1 for each envelope and I get dinged 4% on PP fees since I can accept a full range of payment options so that's what you're paying for.
This is ONLY POSSIBLE if you are in the BAY AREA (span of Newark to San Jose).
NOTE: No, I will not drive off to San Francisco to bring merchandise and have you lowball me. No offense to anyone, but that kind of shit pisses me off  -insert X stories of lowballers/no shows-. If you are one of those people, don't even bother. I will run your ass over, take your money, then give you something of equal value of what you offered me, then send you the bill for damages incurred on my vehicle  :). Seriously, DON'T waste my time. If you are NOT in Newark, Fremont, North/East/West San Jose, then I would rather deal with the transaction via paypal/shipping the item. However, if you INSIST on seeing the merchandise IN PERSON, that is also completely OK with me (I can relate- i like seeing my stuff in person FIRST before I buy it). Please just PM/IM me and I will arrange for a meet up at a Safeway, Shopping Center, Great Mall, Newpark Mall, the moon, whatever! depending on where I will be at the time.

Yes, i know, 4 posts over like 2+ years... give me a break! Life's tough living, especially when you blow well over 15 grand on anime  :o

The list gets longer..... UPDATE: 10.29.2008

Japanese Import Gaming magazines

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Gaming%20Magazines/

This is really where I start to feel the hurt of the amount of money I spent. I mean, seriously, take like 120 magazines and multiply by an average of $14 (after taxes) and... profit! Or not? All magazines date 1997 Except for 2 volumes of The Playstation (end of 1996). Gives you an idea as to how old I am :laughs:

Magazine pricing:
$10 Shipped each (sealed)
$5 Shipped each (un-sealed)

$60 + Shipping for the 1997 N64 Collection of all 12 volumes sealed (except vol.1- grrrr)


Extras:
N64 Vol.5 = 3
N64 Vol.6 = 1
N64 Vol.7 = 4 (1 unsealed)
N64 Vol.8 = 8 (1 unsealed)
N64 Vol.9 = 5 (1 unsealed)
N64 Vol.10 = 4 (3 unsealed)
N64 Vol.11 = 1 (semi-sealed, plastic tore apart but is still with the book)
N64 Vol.12 = 1 (unsealed)

The Playstation Vol.46 = 2
The Playstation Vol.47 = 2
The Playstation Vol.56 = 2
The Playstation Vol.59 = 3
The Playstation Vol.60 = 2
The Playstation Vol.61 = 2
The Playstation Vol.65 = 2 (1 unsealed)


Note: It costs me on average $2.50 to ship each individual magazine + 4% PP fee + packing materials. So, you're essentially paying $5 a volume where I paid $10-$15. On opened magazines, I make almost nothing ($1 - use of gas to drop these off at the post office) off of the Unsealed Magazines. I've combined pictures to decrease the amount of bandwidth i'm using right now. Been kind of a heavy load recently, hahahaha.

Combined shipping POSSIBLE on orders of 5 Magazines or more.

More more more... UPDATE: 10/31/2008!!!

ARTBOOKS

I don't really have many and I decided to keep my Miyazaki Artbooks for the time being (unless I change my mind tonight) so I though I would throw up some crazy stuff that I had lying around in my storage area.

Please, keep tissue use to a maximum- need to keep these forums clean, if you know what I mean ;)

http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u292/the_mad_rabbit/Anime/Artbooks/

First up: Mahoro fans unite! Blow a megaton with this one of a kind artbook, SIGNED!!!!!!!!! (at fanime, one of the years... can't remember. was probably hung over/exhausted from lack of sleep... or both, haha). COMES IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAL. LIKE NEW!



Second: FLCL fans unite! It kinda hurts that I'll be selling this one as ITS ALSO SIGNED BY YS HIMSELF! Granted, I'm keeping my Vol.1 JP DVD (also signed by YS) to myself :P bwahahaha. COMES IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAL. LIKE NEW!



As stated before, pricing is in the photobucket albums in the title. If a description is available, its available. PRICING IS NEGOTIABLE ESPECIALLY IF YOU PURCHASE OTHER ITEMS OR HAVE DONE A PREVIOUS TRANSACTION WITH ME BEFORE!!! Keep this in mind.

Piles of CD's and Music DVD's have finally arrived! I need to sort those out still some more and start taking more pictures.
*whew*. I'm nearing 60%... i hope, hahahaha!


Rest assured, if I post "brand new, sealed" I MEAN brand new, sealed!
Flip side, the figurines that I do have that are not sealed and brand new... well, they don't have a box and are obviously not brand new, lol (some exceptions though, such as certain resin kits).
Anyways, I have literally a slew of isht for sale and I thought I would post up a rough list as a feeler to all.
I can ship these items anywhere in the world as long as the buyer pays for shipping/paypal fees. Local pickup is also OK- just PM me or IM me at IronAnimeDude (AIM) and I can work something out (as I have already done).

A rough List:
BRAND NEW, SEALED, UNOPENED, ALL JP IMPORT!!!

Feedback for 2006? I'd rather not indulge to prevent any injury to anyones pride or face.
Granted, I came from the days when fanime was about 1/10th the size of what it is now, when dealers rooms only had imported items with anime plastered on the floors, walls, and ceilings, and you had to wait 2 hours in line in the rain (yes,it rained that year and the line went OUTSIDE!!!! Only old-timers would remember this) just to get in.

Granted, not as old-timer-ish as some other people, but since I didnt move here since 96 I'm doing okay :wink:

All I have to say is... Fanime isn't what it used to be. :(
