The Arkhive Tumble's On

It's no secret The Arkhive has slowly been dying... Mikey has been keeping it updated thanks to his fascinating stories of life and randomness, but there hasn't been much else happening. You might think this is a post about how The Arkhive will be closing down and we're sad to say goodbye... NEVER. In an attempt to make life slightly easier for everyone, and allow us to get more content out, we're moving to Tumblr. The new page is already up at www.TheArkhive.Tumblr.com but there's still some adjustments to be made there before we can consider it to be fully operational. Expect to see the rest of the staff from here pop up as authors, as well as hopefully some new blood. Oh, and possibly a change in layout or two... dozen. Plus i'm hellbent on moving our fish over to Tumblr as well, so yeah. Check it out, and we hope to be back in full Arkhive mode soon.

Not because it's big

Here you go Arkhive...You want an update, well hold onto your face or something.

About a month ago I was diagnosed with depression. This I can assure sucks. I have since started taking anti-sads which seem to be working I don't know. Last night however they sucked ass and I don't like it. Last night shit went down that was not fucking pleasant. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to relieve it but it's all I can seem to do at the moment. So fuck that.

I can tell you that I don't like it one bit.

Thanks for the free vent space 'Kive.
Now onto other things...My books FINALLY arrived. It was very nice, and so far they have been a good read. I quite like them! STEAMPUNK WOO!

Boneshaker is promising to be a good read but I'm only a small way into it. Not because it's big or anything, but because I'm lazy.
I don't have anything new for you. I think I'm doing shit in uni this semester. Oh well. I'll still love you.

My name is Mikey and this has been a long time coming.

Title? TITLE?! I'LL GIVE YOU A TITLE!

STEAMPUNK!

I ordered a lot of steampunk based books today. Can't wait! WILL BE FUNS!

Lots of love,
Me.

My name is Mikey and you done messed up now boy.

You know what?

I apologise for nothing.

So it hasn't been updated in a while...You know what that means? We've been busy/lazy or a combination of the two. So no, I won't apologise for having a life and wasting it.
Gosh.

But seriously, hey guys. Sorry it's been a while.
You know what I've been watching?

Please take this time to guess, email correct answers to Cartographer@live.com.au

ERRR WRONG! Too late, I've been watching Zoids: New Century Zero. And do you know why?

Don't bother emailing.


Because it is fuckin' baddass! So that's mostly what I've been doing...That and pretending to do my uni work. Yay for that.

That is all.

My name is Mikey and GPO BOX 2100.

Well...This is awkward...

Well this is awkward indeed.
It's been a while and for the most part I can blame my absence on University. However Scoot and Stevo were supposed to be bringing something big to ball park and that seems to have just faded away...Sorry about that.

For most of all of the parts, I have just sort of been existing. I go to uni a bit, I eat, I game, I hang with friends...Hell I even sleep occasionally. Weird I know.
I'm playing a lot of Zelda because it is awesome and watching a lot of Avatar: The Last Airbender because it is equally as awesome.
Oh I simply cannot wait for the next thing to come out but the Airbender guys, it's called The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra. It takes place 70 years after the original, in the same universe of course and follows a Water Tribe teenager called Korra who is the next Avatar. It mostly takes place in Republic City which is a sort of Steam-Punk Mega city created to be accepting of all Nations after the aftermath of the Fire Nations war to take over the world.

It looks really cool but at the same time makes me nostalgic and wary because I love Steam-Punk but I don't want to universe to change too much and get too technology based. I also loved/got attached to the 'old' characters and voice actors so I don't know what I'm ultimately going to think about it. Also there needs to be more Airbender's.

Well I guess that's all I have to say for now...Better get back to class because you know...Class.

I think I shall say good day to you all.

Cheerio,
My name is Mikey and a typo is only a typo if you notice it.

And the battle continues...

So it has been a while since I started the Zelda: OoT Master Quest and I haven't progressed very far. This is mostly due to my own laziness but still I just thought I should let you guys know because you know...Sharing is caring.

Other than that, I am back in uni...Yay.

I only have 2 days of uni out of 7...Lots of free time and I like to use that time for sleep.

Hmm I have nothing really to say which is a bit annoying. But at least I took time out of my day to say it. Or not if you get what I mean...

I wonder when Scoot and Stevo will be done with that 'project' they said they were bringing to the 'Kive...Interesting...

My name is Mikey and this is some writing.

Round 2...START!

And the game is on. I am back. Back at university, the mid year break is over, class is underway and I want to go to bed. So hooray for that.

I only have two days of class each week but still...I want more free time. I was used to it. I don't like change.

I'm currently in my writing picture books class because well why not? Picture books rule.

Well class is actually starting now so maybe I better go. I'll see you again some time, I'm sure of it.

My name is Mikey and this is a sign off message.

Waiting In The Shadows

If you were looking forward to The Darkness 2 then you'll have to look forward a little further. It would seem that the sequel to 2007's quad-wielding shooter based on a graphic novel has been delayed a few months and will now be stepping into the light come February next year. This means it will no longer release around the same time as many other gaming heavyweights such as CoD, Battlefield and Skyrim but rather extend out the xmas release schedule along with Final Fantasy XIII-2 which is now confirmed to be releasing in January.

Insane Collectors Edition

As the release of Batman: Arkham City approaches, we start seeing details on pre-orders and special editions... Like the special edition that was just announced. If the game by itself isn't awesome enough for you then you can grab it with a cool statue made by Kotobukiya, an art book, early access to a challenge map (Iceberg Lounge) and skin (The Dark Knight Returns skin), digital copy of the Arkham City soundtrack and a dvd copy of the animated movie, Batman: Gotham Knight. If this sounds appealing to you the you can pre-order the special edition now for it's release at the end of October.

Tis The Season To Arcade

Microsoft's Summer of Arcade begins today (in the middle of winter for us aussies) with the release of Bastion. over the next 4 weeks we'll see the release of 4 more high quality arcade games including From Dust, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Fruit Ninja Kinect and Toy Soldiers: Cold War. Each title will be 1200 ms points (except Fruit Ninja, which comes in at 800) and if you buy all 5 you'll also receive a free copy of Crimson Alliance... Huzzah for free stuff you only get by spending ludicrous amounts of money on not free stuff.
