06:16 pm - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART XI
Quick note: Part XII is taking forever a long time to write mainly because my school terms has started. It will be done someday, just not as quickly as the previous parts.
A slightly shorter post than usual since PART XII will feature the meat of the epic showdown of red and blue between Battler and Dlanor.
This is PART XI.

12:40 am - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART X
Erika probably wiretaps everyone in the country and scales buildings while wearing a school-issued swimsuit.
This is PART X.

12:03 am - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART IX
It's going to be a repeat of the locked room situation. Someone please give Natsuhi a break. The Witch praised her nobility!
Also, HOLY MARCONIS WHAT LEGALESE I DON'T EVEN-
This is PART IX.

10:10 pm - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART VI
Locked room mystery time!
Can you solve the locked room (argue for Natsuhi and Beatrice)?
Don't let Erika win.
(Of course, if you've already seen or read the answer, that doesn't count)
All clues you need to solve the locked room are given below. If it's not mentioned, it has no impact on the mystery.
But there is one thing that has been described in one of the prior games and/or it is apparent to the people within the game. Kinzo's study room is not a standard room. It is further segmented into a library, study room, bedroom, and bathroom at least. You can say that the whole room is a little house within the house.
This is PART VI.
I suck at attempting to write polite-speak. I'm sorry.

02:12 pm - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART V
Either Battler was too dense to notice the bodies or he slept right through the murders.
Part VI is going to be a huge mess of Red vs. Blue text.
This is PART V.

10:46 pm - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART III
No clue how far I am into the game. At least it has been enjoyable thus far.
I've broken the 100 mark for number of screenshots taken, from Part I through Part III.
This is PART III.

11:45 pm - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART II
This is PART II.
It took a lot longer to write than I would've liked. I think I'll cover more gameplay in one sitting and spend less time trying to read every little bit of detail.

06:20 pm - Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 5: End of the golden witch - PART I
This is the first time that I anticipated an Umineko game before its release. I will be posting summaries and screenshots as I go through the game, divided into parts. If I sound like stating the obvious, you are correct. I have never delved into episode 2 through 4 in detail, so most of the pre-existing elements in episode 5 are brand new to me.
This is PART I.

05:13 am - Rolo's Locket for Sale (Code Geass R2)
Rolo's Locket
Starting Bid: $5
Current Bid: $33 by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) panda_usagi
Auction Ending Time: 11:00:00pm EST, December 4th, 2008
For direct auction is a 1:1.47 scale replica of Rolo's locket from Code Geass R2, which is usually seen dangling from his cellphone. It is unopenable and it will not play music. The locket was taken from the Rolo figurine of the PPP R2 Vol.1 series. A friend and I put two spring ring clasps on ends of the finest gold chain we could find at the craft store. The locket is approximately 1 inch tall and 1 inch wide. The shorter cellphone chain is 2 inches long (without counting the clasps) and the longer necklace chain is 18 inches long. We made the chains to 1:1.47 scale according to the original production sketch (provided by koshimizu here).
This auction is only for one locket and one chain. Please specify which chain length you'd like (short cellphone version or long necklace version).
   
Please make your bid either by commenting here or sending me a private message. I will do my best to keep the current bid updated. Bids made in the last five minutes of the auction will automatically extend the ending time by five minutes, similar to the system on Yahoo! Auction Japan.
At the end of the auction, I'd prefer PayPal for payment. Please let me know ahead of time if you can't do PayPal.
I have 100% positive feedback on eBay here.
Shipping is $2 in the US and $3 worldwide.
Thanks for reading and good luck!

01:25 am - Preorder for Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer]!
If you just stumbled onto this post, the short message is, it's too late. All figurines are spoken for and I'm preparing to ship them out. The next Wonder Festival group order I'll do will be for Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer], so please check back on my LJ sometime in July 2009.
Update 12/06/2008: I've received all figurines. Check them out below. I will be shipping everything on Monday, December 8th, and they should reach you by the end of the week if you're in the US and in two week's time elsewhere.
Update 11/29/2008: My friend received the figurines a few days ago, but his hard disk drive broke down and he's been trying to fix it for the past few days, so that's why this update is late and he hasn't gotten around to shipping out the goods yet. He'll be shipping them out on Monday, December 1st, JP time. Below is a photo of all figurines together.
Update 11/19/2008: As per Goodsmile Company's announcement last week, the figurines will all be shipped in Japan today, JP time. The figurines will start arriving at the recipient's address starting tomorrow, the 20th of November. I will update this post again when I get photos from my friend in Japan.
Update 08/05/2008: All of the figurines have been ordered. Screenshots of the checkout process below.
The total was 4 figma Spinzaku, 4 Nendo Melissa, and 4 Nendo Hachune Miku.
   
Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer] took place on August 3th, 2008, and Goodsmile Company and Max Factory sold limited edition merchandise there, which they will also sell online exclusively at GSC's online store for a limited period of time. You can take a look at all of the products they have to offer here.
The preorder window is 8/4/2008 - 8/10/2008 and GSC does NOT ship overseas. I'm getting something through a friend in Japan and I'm willing to help other people get merchandise, too. Note that after the preorder window, none of these items will ever be produced again. I will take preorders from people on the following products. The listed price INCLUDES all shipping fees (from GSC to Japan, EMS shipping to US, and from me to you). PayPal buyers need to pay an extra 3% of total + $0.30 to cover the PayPal fee.
( More info )
figma.BP Kururugi Suzaku figurine: $55
Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (Hachune Face ver.): $60

03:22 am - Preorders for Wonder Festival 2008 [Winter]!
I will be running another preorder for Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer]! Here's how-to secure the newest batch of loot from Goodsmile Company and Max Factory!
If you've just wandered onto the page, the short message is that the preorder is over.
6 figma Konata + 5 Nendoroid LS/Fate sets have been ordered.
Update 6/19:
All figurines have reached me. I'll be shipping them out starting tomorrow.
Update 6/11:
One shipment has reached my friend in Japan! The rest should be arriving today, too.
Screenshots of the checkout process here, note the unique order number circled in red on the second and fourth images.
   
Before people start wailing, "Where's my fig?!?! It's been a month!", please note that they will NOT be shipped until June 10, 2008, in Japan, and delivery time may take up to one week within Japan. Shipping to me (EMS) will take another 2-3 business days, and shipping to you will take a few more days, depending on your location. So this post won't be updated again until mid-June, when the figurines are delivered to my friend's house. I'll get him to take photos before shipping to me.
Max Factory's figma Izumi Konata (Cosplay ver.) Figurine: $55
