I will be playing it right now, after the installation (it’s almost done).
I will be back on the IGN Boards with some impressions in a while! :).

Actually this is not my project, but a friend’s one and I decided to, following the same rules, do it too.
It wasn’t easy to place 40 rooms on a 30m x 6m building, but hey.. . Rendered with VRay and modeled in 3DSMax. Total time around 35 minutes (including rendering time).
About a month and a bit ago I started the new design school here in Japan. It’s been pretty quiet until now. In this school every student makes three ‘big’ projects during the year and the first one starts next week, even though most people still can’t use the software very well. I, personally, will try and use 3D as much as possible, but with some photoshop, maybe illustrator and even hand drawings..
If that didn’t sound busy enought, I will start the part-time job this next week and I don’t have a computer good enought to design (R.I.P, laptop) so I have to stay at the design academy extra hours.
Thanks god I’m already done with GTAIV (PS3) and CoD4 isn’t taking that much time (though online matches are kinda common on my current schedule, but still not meaning a problem in my schedule).
This thursday I will upload a couple hand drawings I made!..
Rendered in low quality because the rendertime would have gone crazy if I rendered it with all the settings on. I used the Scanline instead of Vray, wich I used for my pics. I also placed just two omni lights so everything is lighted up.
A few new buildings included! I know I’m working very slow on this project, but I have some other things to do meanwhile…
Must Buy. The best 1,500 points used since I got the Wii, and they were a present from a friend, so that makes it all even better, haha!.
Anyway, I got the game today and played until the 5th (in-game) day. My Country, called LolTown (poor japanese-speaking citizens, they don’t know they live in joke-land) already got four citizens that will help me with the missions, and the happiness level is pretty good. I made my own bakery and he made a lot of sales (it’s the only store on the town/country, so that makes sense).
Now.. maybe you don’t know what I’m talking about, so let’s just explain a little bit.
I just finished Tekkon Kinkreet (鉄コン筋クリート), and in my opinion, the best movie I have seen recently (and I have seen a lot). At first it looks like just another action movie with some nice looking style, but, right on the last 20 minutes of the movie you finally understand everything, and it’s just.. amazing.
Gotta watch this movie again in a couple days, just because it’s THAT good. If I had to rate it, it would be definitely 10/10. Even if you don’t like anime, you have to watch this movie.
Two days ago I went to a trip with my school. We went to Wakayama (和歌山), and on the second day we visited Shirahama (白浜). We stayed there for about an hour so I had time enough to walk around and check what was near there.
Good weather, huh! 
As you can see, it was pretty high, so if you happen to fall down, chances of dying are pretty high. And now we know how famous Japan is because of the suicides… Therefore, this was really expected:
Your city’s Life Phone.
That’s a service for people thinking about commiting suicide. Now, this is something I don’t think I will be able to see elsewhere outside Japan…
Something random…
Some people has already watched a few streamings i have done since a few months ago. They feature usually new titles like Mario Galaxy or Super Smash Bros Brawl on their respective japanese release dates.
Because I’m not rich, it’s not that I can purchase every single game released. The next big streaming will be on the 10th of April, featuring Mario Kart Wii. Until then, expect some streamings featuring random games :).
