Phantasy Star Universe

Hey Guys Damo here
Today I will be talking about the infamous online Sega game Phantasy Star Universe(this includes the both the original and the expansion Ambition of the Illuminus).

P.S.U has 3 Different modes which consists of Story Extra and Online Mode

The Story mode follows a guy called Ethan Waber as he journeys into a world of adventure.
As the story begins Ethan is going around on a air board when he accidentally gets knocked over by a passing car.
The Passenger of the car gets out and helps him up, Later on a ceremony is being held for the Maiden of Gurhal who is the leader of Peace in the Gurhal system. When Ethan looks up he realises that's it the same girl that helped him earlier from the crash.
He is then invited to become a Guardian for Gurhal but refuses the offer because of his father being one and didn't want to follow in his footsteps because of him abandoning his family years ago.
After a while he changes his mind and meets up with his trainer called Karen Era who somehow looks similar *ahem* i wont tell you anything further for that part its a good shock.
As he goes further into a Guardians missions he faces a threath to the system from a Cast called Renvolt Magashi.

Extra Mode is available after completing chapter 6 of story mode.
this mode consists of all the missions from story mode and 3 extra ones.
Also in extra mode you get to create your own Characters (4 slots is free to create 4 different characters).
I also forgot to mention about the classes.
these includes Hunter (Meelee),Ranger(guns) and Force(magic)

Online Mode is Like Extra mode but is harder to lvl your character.

End of A Era Bye 4kids

Now u see them now u dont Remember ash or jaden or sonic and cheese well say bye after 4 kids announce a 14.75 million revenue loss at the end of the quarter and might sell a part or whole of the company . Many of you will celebrate with this thought But there is a bad side to this . 1 It was a major anime liciencer maybe not for our age group but 1 the same it . this will affect the anime industry . 2 could spell the end for the english franchise of yu gi oh tcg because even with the bad dub it creates new fans and with that more duelists . No new duelists means its souly dependent on the original fans who have a limited budget on cards and merchandise. So let us have a moment of silence for 4kids before we celebrate and let us pray for those lost shows and hope that they find a new home

Question 1 What inspired you to create this fantasy philosophy epic such as Heaven ?

I just started thinking about what in life is anticipated to be something amazing, but ends up being kinda lousy. Then realized that the greatest promised reward, Heaven, might have a lousy payoff too.

Question 2 What made you decide to make Baris a addict

It seemed to fit the story. I know a lot of people who seem addicted to their great ideas but never implement them.

Question 3 Do you think that your novel playing for keeps will make it across the waters coz im dying to buy it

You mean like here? -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Keeps-Mur-Lafferty/dp/1934861162/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1248895335&sr=8-3

Question 4 How much research did you have to do before starting the heaven series ?

I pretty much researched as I went along. I'd think I'd want to do norse stuff so I'd hit the library and wikipedia.

Question 5 will we see more interaction and history for the harvest god and gamma the warrior goddess because I find those gods a mystery at the moment?

Probably. :)

Question 6 I see small hints of lessons of a geekfu master in your work of playing for keeps and heaven it this intentional or a accident?

I'm not sure what you mean. If it's writing style, then sure, it's unintentional, it's just the way I write. But Lessons was a collection of nonfiction essays while the other two are fiction, so I'm not sure I see the parallel.

Question 7 What advice do you give to geeks in the world on how to survive existence?

Be confident in your likes and try not to scoff too much at the norms. As we all know, when someone looks down on us, we tend to get prickly. It happens the other way too.

Well thank you so much for the interview so much Goddess Mur Lafferty you are one of my idols ever since i started listening to the heaven series which ive listen to at least 5 times. May you continue to inspire and leave us listeners and fans with tales of Gods at War and Underdog super people for many more years to come

Thanks so much for the interview, and I'm so glad you like my work!

First ever interview with someone

The word god gets thrown around from time to time. But Today I have a interview with 1 of the op gods of fiction. Move over dean koontz and time to retire Mr King I have talked to the next god of fiction . And with his pen as his sword of blood and his beta clone army he will soon be running the planet with the FDO and Mur Lafferty. So lets begin the Interview

hanks JC. I know you have a very busy schedule.

You're quite welcome! I love chatting about my work.

Question 1 What was your inspiration for writing Personal effects Dark Art and Sword of Blood

The Personal Effects series was created by Jordan Weisman, an icon in the gaming and Alternate Reality Game industries. His original concept had the story set in a mental institution, with several key characters who had specific personality traits. Beyond that, the creative responsibility was placed upon me to breathe life into those people and places, and craft a story that was both spooky and compelling. I love the supernatural thriller genre -- I'm a big fan of Stephen King's work in particular -- so I pushed forward with a tale that played up the psychological terror angle.

It was a blast. It was a lot of fun placing good people -- characters like Zach Taylor, an optimistic art therapist -- into bad locales and situations. I wanted the story to be dark, but not too dark ... and I wanted it to slip into the supernatural world slowly, in a believable way.

Question 2 With some of the greatest works written by you 7th son and now Sword of blood and Dark art do you think you can give some advice on writing and podcasting to some of your fans?

Sure. If you want to do it, you simply have to do it. This is good advice for any profession or creative endeavor. Too often, creators spend their time pining for time to write, or praying the story will write itself. There is no time like the present, and that story won't write itself. Actually *doing the work* is the only way to get it done. While that sounds elementary, it's the only true key to achieving your dreams.

Question 3 Your competitions for The Sword of Blood and the brink swag and free bookmarks why so generous with us?

Because my fans have been generous to me. There would be no Personal Effects or 7th Son without the endless support of my fans. I want to give back, whenever possible.

Question 4 Is it Jeremy or Jesus Christ JC?

Actually, the "J.C." stands for Joan Crawford.

Kidding. Those are my first initials: John Christopher.

Question 5 Why does Scott Sigler despise and love you at the same time?

He is clearly jealous of my good looks and wily charm. And I'm taller than him.

Question 6 Who do you think should play John Alpha in the 7th son movie? Im always free and il work for peanuts.

If they make a 7th Son movie -- and while it's been optioned, that's still very much up in the air -- I'd love to see Ryan Reynolds take on the role. He's best known for his comedic performances, but I've seen him in enough action pictures to know he's got plenty of Alpha in him.

Question 7 The main character in Dark art and sword of blood seems very similar to john the 7th son the youngest any reason?

I believe the only significant similarities is that they're both creatively motivated, and are shoved into terrible circumstances. I feel that they are very different people ... but they'd probably get along if they met each other at a pub.

Well I just like to thank you very much this my best birthday gift of anyone to email you and Im still waiting to get my hands on Dark Art unfortnately they cant get it here in ireland yet due to reasons I dont know . But I hope the book comes and you will have a massive success with this and many others to come

Thanks so much, Sean! I had a great time with this interview!
