sometimes my mind is a very strange place.

little_ribbonI've been incredibly busy the past couple of days... and it finanlly caught up with me. O.o; I woke up feeling like crap, urgh. *sniffles!* I wish working in Wijnegem Shopping Center didn't require me to be coughed on by hundreds of customers all the time. Yuck.
The pictures in this post are pretty much entirely dedicated to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aefallen. She didn't have to hold me at gunpoint for me to take them, either. ^^;
You've successfully brainwashed me into loving Yu-Gi-Oh... it is now everywhere I look - AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY! *giggles!*
I haven't visited Super Dragon Toys for months... I didn't even realise they'd moved to a much nicer location. O.o; I CAN ONLYTHANK BLAME MY NEW FOUND LOVE FOR YU-GI-OH FOR MAKING ME WANT TO GO THERE LAST NIGHT! I could've just gone home when I realised I'd have to walk all across Antwerp to find their new store... but I didn't: AND NOW I HAVE SHINY YU-GI-OH MANGA. In Dutch. *beams!*
Their new location is awesome, by the way. It's so much bigger than the claustrophic little store they used to rent - I'm definitely going to visit them a lot more from now on. ^^; The music they were playing was great, too. Well... Q-Music is always great, but I don't usually start randomly dancing in anime/manga stores. I partly blame Yu-Gi-Oh for this, too. O.o;
Finding out they have Yu-Gi-Oh manga in Dutch made my day! xD I actually had to ask where to find them (... the store is still enough for that to be kind of embarrasing? *grin!*) and then nearly hugged the poor Japanese sales boy when he told me they also have it in my own language. I only managed to find the French version on my own... for some reason the Walloons are much bigger fans of anime and manga than the Flemish. I was already preparing myself for the news that they only had Yu-Gi-Oh in French (... this kept happening to me with Prince of Tennis, Gundam Wing and Chobits! RAAH!!), so you can understand why I'd be estatic to find out they ALSO HAVE IT IN DUTCH? xDD
AND THEN I FOUND OUT THEY HAVE DNANGEL MANGA IN DUTCH, TOO. ♥
Maaaaaan, I'd never even heard of such a thing as Dutch manga before. *sparkles!* (One of my ex-Japanese classmates works for a company that translates popular anime into Dutch, though! WHICH IS ALSO VERY COOL?)
Since this post is already pretty much all about Yu-Gi-Oh, here's some more:
I WON. Uhm, in that Nintedo DS game I rented a week ago...? xD I won from a Kuriboh! WITH 100 LIFE POINTS LEFT! *laughs!* This game is so much fun - but it was a little hard to figure out what to do. I hardly knew anything about Yu-Gi-Oh back then (I have learned a lot more since last week, though!) and was so happy to win something. I had to return it on Friday and I'm already missing it. I'm going to wait patiently until I find it second-hand at GameMania, though. I want to find that HANDHOLDING DOUBLE PACK first. *grin!*
It also had this awesome fox thing. O.o; Anyone who knows me can probably figure out why I love it so much. There's a picture of it in-game here. Apologies for crappy quality. It's not easy taking pictures of a NDS screen. xD
I think that's all, but... I'll probably edit it a bit when I am more coherent and less *___*?

Date: 2008-01-08 06:37 pm (UTC)Yep! There's pretty much only one game store chain in Belgium (worth visiting!): GameMania! ^^; They even have GBA games for rent... No longer for sale, though.

Date: 2008-01-11 06:52 am (UTC)SUPER DRAGON TOYS is such a YGO name, man, omg. ;) NICE SHOP!
xD I won from a Kuriboh! WITH 100 LIFE POINTS LEFT!
YOU MUST BE YUUGI THEN :D That's actually incredibly canon, Yuugi wins a battle with a Kuriboh. ;)
*laughs!* This game is so much fun - but it was a little hard to figure out what to do.
I always find it so hard! Even if I'm crazy about a series. But omg sweetie you've done so well! ♥ You beat Jou at last! :D WAS the game EVEN IN ENGLISH/DUTCH omg?
I'm going to wait patiently until I find it second-hand at GameMania, though.
OhGod I know the feeling. WAITING IS SO HARD.
I want to find that HANDHOLDING DOUBLE PACK first. *grin!*
!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! ♥ JOU IS PROUD OF YOU!
XD By the way, I'm reading this case that took place in Indonesia, so there are Dutch legal terms thrown here and there. You'd probably understand them AND find them amusing. I'm ust @___@.

Date: 2008-01-11 06:54 am (UTC)Apologies for crappy quality. It's not easy taking pictures of a NDS screen. xD
Incidentally, I find that it's easier if you hold your camera further away from the screen, you get a better picture? Closer to the screen makes all those nasty pixels show up clearer. Take a step or two back and hold the camera away maybe? It works for me. THERE IS A GURREN LAGANN DS GAME omg and that's how I managed to get a clear shot. Or maybe it's my camera?
ooh! then I can use this one in return... *beams!*
Date: 2008-01-13 01:33 pm (UTC)Fox Fire is the Vulpix of Yu-Gi-Oh cards...? ♥!
Closer to the screen makes all those nasty pixels show up clearer.
Oh. I. Uh... I actually like the pixels. *laughs!* My problem is with the black egde of my screen looking as round as the Earth. ;)
WAIT. You don't have a DS, right? O.o; *shocked!*
Your camera is a lot nicer than mine! <3 I actually take pixel-ish pictures ON PURPOSE, though. I didn't know you think they are nasty. *giggles!* Next time I take pictures of my DS screen, I will try your method instead? Sorry! I just really like the pixels for some reason. ^^;;
HI SWEETIE
Date: 2008-01-13 01:50 pm (UTC)XD! Yes, I don't have a DS! Livejournal and the PS2 take up all my time, I don't need another platform! But I have taken photos of other people's DSes. ;)
HAHAHAHA ♥ SOCUTE. I'm so glad you have SKATER!Jou. :)))))
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY! ^^;
Date: 2008-01-13 02:09 pm (UTC)*melts!* That is so beautiful. Fanart like that nearly makes me wish I didn't have any qualms about using it for icons. Guuhh.
Thank you for showing it to me~! I now understand you don't like Yami/Yuugi, so I really do appreciate it. <3
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY PLATFORMS. *grin!* I am so annoyed with Sony for making it so that I have TWO Playstations now and NEITHER of them will probably play the games you own. How stupid is that? >.>
Me too~! Thank you for showing me that, too! ♥!

Date: 2008-01-13 02:02 pm (UTC)I KNOW THIS IS NOT A COMMENT COMPETITION BY THE WAY. *tears hair out!* I just think you put so much thought and energy into trying to teach me everything about Yu-Gi-Oh... and... you know. *flails!*
I hope you at least know I am not ignoring you? T.T I feel so bad leaving all these comments unreplied!
/WANGST. Now I got that out of the way... ^^;
(dear God I have been promising you this for forever, D8 that life is EVIL AND EATS ME)
That's okay! Take your time! :) I have just picked up volume 3 & 4 of the Belgian (IT IS NOT JUST DUTCH YU-GI-OH OMG! IT'S A BELGIAN TRANSLATION! *___*!) manga, so I still have a lot of other material to keep me busy? *grin!*
YOU MUST BE YUUGI THEN :D That's actually incredibly canon, Yuugi wins a battle with a Kuriboh. ;)
Yay! I'm canon!Yuugi! *beams!* Well, actually... the game lets you design your own character? You can compare it to Gaia Online, kind of. :) Also: YOU CAN MAKE A BOY? You could turn it into a blue-haired bishie! I think that is more your kind of thing. xD
WAS the game EVEN IN ENGLISH/DUTCH omg?
I... this shouldn't have made me think, but I am pretty sure it was in English. *laughs!*
I understand much more of the game now! Thanks to the second volume of the manga? xD It explained it all pretty well! I think I am almost ready to give the card game a try without losing hilariously. (I would probably still lose, but at least I'd know what is going on now.)
XD By the way, I'm reading this case that took place in Indonesia, so there are Dutch legal terms thrown here and there.
I know you said this like LAST WEEK OMG, but I am curious! xD What kind of words? Does the case offer translations for you...? *pat pat!*
