In Memory of SeeD

SeeD's Condolence Page
It has been two years today since Pangya's former art director Park Jeong Hoon (SeeD/Seedark) has passed away on October 1st 2009 at 4:00 AM Korea time. It was very unfortunate that the bone marrow transplant for his Leukemia treatment was scheduled the end of the year, but he passed away the beginning of October. Time can be a tragic nature that we cannot control. He had lived a very short life from 1981 - 2009.

Here are just a few illustrations I handpicked of his work with several concept arts that may be very familiar to you. He was also responsible for illustrating the PSP game, Pangya: Fantasy Golf.

Weekly Pangya Update #39

Negima collaboration event continues on with four new outfits updated on their web shop.




Nell as Nodoka Miyazaki and School Uniform update. I like the hairstyle with different color options, and I'm certain those books count as a wing accessory.


Arin as Chisame Hasegawa and School Uniform update. That outfit makes Arin look very sassy.

There will be one more update next week. A mascot staring Chachazero and a new Voice Clubset.


The very familiar 10+1 card pack deals will only be available on sale for one week. I can't imagine how many people would buy card packs seeing they already gotten whatever cards they want and freely move them around at will.

Totori

After playing through Atelier Rorona completely with every ending and trophies , I'm heavily looking forward to the next Playstation 3 title, Atelier Totori: Alchemist of Arland. The story on Totori will take place five years later after Rorona. From all the Atelier games, Totori is the 12th installment of the series.

In case you have never heard of the series before, the term "Atelier" is the french word for "Workshop". So from that term, it heavily focuses on customized item creations, but there will be battles too. It's a Japanese RPG developed by Gust that works on Atelier and Ar Tonelico series. I just happened to become acquainted with Gust this year after playing through a couple of their titles so far.

Chatbox Integration

I figured it'll be nice to add some more interactions on my blog. I'll be adding a new chat box called cbox located on the sidebar. This will be a nice way to keep in touch with both me and other people with ease.

There are two ways to sign-up on the chatbox. Either you can enter a name and chat right away, or register to keep your name forever.

Quick Registration


1. Don't feel like registering right away? Just input a name if it hasn't been taken yet and you are ready to chat. You will keep your name as long as you are using the same computer and not cleared your cookies.

Wiz City Release Date for Japan

http://www.pangya.jp/event/201110_wizcity/
Pangya Japan has finally settled with hopefully a fixed release date on their special page showing October 27th, 2011 for their server. That's 5 weeks from now before Pangya Japan will receive a large update as well as other Pangya servers around that time.

I don't know about you, but Pangya has been lacking momentum for me in quite awhile so hopefully this new course will bring back my spirit once again.

In 2011, Fall season begins today on September 23rd. Besides the climate change, what's most important are the Fall anime lineup. I'll be using Zana's Fall 2011 Anime Chart to see which ones I'm looking forward the most and maybe find something new I haven't heard before.

Weekly Pangya Update #38

After all these years, one of my favorite outfit set for Hana has finally surfaced. It does make sense to have the Olympic sets available for Scratchy instead of Gacha, it was just a matter of time on when they will release them.


I'm sure we all are all aware that Card Pack 3+1 deal has existed in the past, but now it's 10+1? Stay classy, Pangya GamBle.


Signature outfits = PSP outfits. Well in case you've missed this limited-time sale that they promoted before, you can try and get them again.


This is for Comet ball collection purposes. You are forced to buy a package that includes one new comet ball inside along with other generic balls included. So which two comets do you think will sell the most and stay in the shop permanently? Definitely get the Rainbow comet as your first choice for that awesome rainbow effect when the ball is in the air.

Under extreme circumstances, Japan will be a day late with their updates due to Typhoon Roke that struck Japan this Wednesday. Japan has definitely dealt numerous disasters this year with the Fukushima earthquakes, tsunami waves, nuclear meltdowns, and now this. If you haven't heard the news about the typhoon, you can check it out here.


Negima's 3rd update will be concentrating on Lucia and Cecilia. Lucia will have two roles for both Setsuna Sakurazaki and Konoka Konoe. More school uniforms will available for Cecilia and Lucia too. So 4 outfit sets total this week.

New Peperoholic Layout

My new transition has finally finished. When I first opened up Peperoholic at the beginning of the year, I wasn't completely satisfied with the layout. This was also at the time when I didn't have much experience with scripts and html codes to the point where I couldn't get anything to work right.

So finally, this is the vision that I was looking for all this time that I couldn't do before. The layout still shares the same resemblance as my old one, but now it's more organized and cleaner that should make it easy on your eyes.

Pangya TH Player Interview

Pangya used to be available on so many different countries before, but now we've come down to four remaining servers. One particular server that we don't pay attention much is Thailand server. Now that every server has become Pangya United, I figured it'll be great to get to know more about Thailand server.

Luckily, we have a guest that has played Pangya Thailand for a very long time.

Upgrade Maintenance

Peperoholic will be undergoing some new changes and upgrades this weekend. Blog will be unavailable on Sunday (9/18). It will be set to private on that day so I can run a few test to ensure that it'll function properly. I should be done either that evening, or the next day to open it back up.

To check the status on how the operation is going this Sunday, you can head to my generic plain looking Tumblr page.

Looks like I can rest easy for this week's Pangya updates. The webshop has updated again with more new Negima outfits for Kooh and Kaz.


Kaz as Fate Averruncus. Not only does he get a new hairstyle, but having the option to change the hair color works too.


Kooh as Evangeline A.K. McDowell. And yes, it's disappointing that the development team didn't produce her hairstyle in time for her release.


Just like Hana, Kooh will also be

Hitler Demands Permanent Card Removers

Card removers is a sensitive subject on Pangya Global. Not only players are aware how freely these items are given to other servers, but it also involves more gambling in the process. I do wish every Pangya server would adapt to the same systems that treats everyone equally. Greed has its limits too.


Before you watch, the subtitles expressed in this video does not represent how I feel. Instead, I'm presenting whatever I think the Global

My Usual Breakfast

On mornings before I leave home, I usually fix myself something simple and yet satisfying to eat that will hold my hunger until lunch time. One of my simplest dish is rice and egg. This serves as my main protein source for breakfast.


Adding olive oil first before I add one large egg into the frying pan. I prefer cooking my fried eggs well-done.


While the egg is cooking. I prepare my rice bowl and sprinkle a little of sesame oil, sesame seeds

Global decides to bring Korea's three-year old dancer outfits for their 30th Gacha set. For those who spent a great deal of money from last set's swimsuits can rest easy for this month.


The outfit stats comes with Power+2/Slot+1 that may be annoying if you don't want your control setup changed. What's even more bizarre is that Lucia receives Power+3/Slot+1. This is why this set didn't do well on Korea due

Everybody's Rhythm Tengoku Complete Music Collection

Ever since I started on the game yesterday on Justin.TV, I've become addicted to this awesome rhythm game for the Nintendo Wii. The game first appeared for Nintendo's handheld console, and now made its way to home consoles. Even though it's only out in Japan so far, other countries will be getting it later on. I find it amazing how rhythm games have evolved this much that becomes so much fun to play. If you like rhythm games and
