The Ninja's of the Anime/Video Game Club's of School's and College
CHARTINI | 12:40 PM on 04.13.2010 0 comments




The term "Ninja's" (Runaway anime, and video game fans)
Is widely used within BMCC, and School's around the city area.w
Borough of Manhattan Community College, The City University of New York.

Is a place of exploration for the young and old.
Every time you aprouch a Ninja, you must take extreme precaution, such as in carying a net, ninja starts, or a box of Pocky.

Now for some odd reason, tons of individuals think that "Anime" stands for just "Animation" in general. Sorry to say which is not true for it has it's own category within the art's, unless you categorize "Anime" with "Disney."
If your the type that enjoys watching Sailor Moon with Peter Pan, well then you must be one very interesting individual.
Also, a lot of people who don't play Video Games consider those who do to quote "Have no lives."
If this statement is true then id rather have no life then be a robot trying to copy the styles of Gwen Stefani and Lady Gaga.
Yeah sorry, i don't think id walk around the city looking like this.
I don't want to be mistaken for a Mr. Bubbles mascot.


This is what gives Anime lovers a bad name, as Gwen Stefani all of a sudden has taste for the japanese culture.
Yes i do respect you more then i respect Lady Gaga, but you need to stop yourself for making Japan angry.




And a good vocabulary in knowledge of anime and games.
for you don't want to look like this.


Anyways this guy has balls to dress like this. *thumbs up*

Seems like BMCC's Anime and Video Game population is growing rapidly, but these indaviduals don't want to be seen or be acknowledged within the Community of fans. (they hide)
But now, just recently.
A few Studen't of this priticualar college have invested in a group called The AMV's club.
( THE ANIME-MANGA-VIDEO GAMES's CLUB )

Anyways these clubs are growing among many school's around the world,
it still seems that these club's only offer so little for those who join.
This years budget for this school was only a lottal of 500 US dollars.
Which only seems to be enough to by snacks for about three months or so, and on top of that they have to rent a room from the school.
They School's only want these rooms used for instructional classes obviously, but who said these things were not "Educational"?
Well the school board of corse!
It is frowned upon to enroll in a club for the ones who join are considered to have a negative social.
There are those who are more open to the ways of there preference in the nerd life.
High School clubs have been cut down, and college clubs are only brought up and live off of those who are strong enough to keep it breathing.
Video Games are more of a threat to parents then to the school board, due to what kind.
Iv seen some that bring in Modern Warfare 2 into there High schools.
As they plug in the system and begin playing, the teacher tells them it's either not allowed or just calls the parent in concern thinking that the next day dressed in army camo, thinking they are on a mission to destroy Metal Gear.
Or dressed as a doctor writing on your english test as you scream combo breaker, while you draw multiple stars with your DS stylus


Is it really so abnormal to want to tap out of reality once in a while?
Are we going back into the era of hiding guilty pleasures of Video gaming, and Anime?

PSP 1000 Becoming Rare Find?
CHARTINI | 3:11 PM on 04.11.2010 17 comments




The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is considered to be the most powerful hand held game console made by Sony Computer Entertainment.
The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004. Then released in north America March 24, 2005.
It is also the first hand held system to uses (UMD's) Witch is a optical disk format called "Universal Media Disk".
Of course there were bugs and reading errors within the system but the sales for this hand held game system stood strong. Not even the "Nintendo DS" could compare to the abilities that were offered by the PSP.
It was latter that the PSP 2000, and the PSP 3000 such as the "SLIM" and the "GO" slid into the big picture.
And the PSP 1000 began to slide under the radar as consumers began to buy the Slim and Go, latter they were they to find out that after the sales of the new additions that the PSP 1000 had more to offer then the newer additions to the PSP family.

Some customers were sad to find it harder to crack, to hack and to download there beloved brews, as they began to purchase the old version once again but found out that it was even harder to get then it was when it first arrived from Japan to America.

The PSP 1000's were once again in high demands but was no longer found in stores brand new, or if used they were abused and already claimed.



It has been at most seven years since the first PSP was released, and still the babies of the very first beautifully made handheld system cannot compare to its art.

Has Sony lost their touch?
Those who own these PSP 1000,
Do the have the best of what is out there in the hand held world?
Is it becoming
A rare find.....?

There are a huge amount of game stores in New York City,
But out of all the stores within this sea of consumer goods.
Two of the stores within the City named
Video Games New York
http://videogamesnewyork.com/

And the Other
Play and Trade

Both stores have proven that the PSP 1000 are in high demand and are wanted more then ever before.

One told me a story.
"One day, a kid walked in and sold his 1000... once he walked out 3 people tried to buy it,, but i bought it first *chuckles lightly* it rocks to be an employee sometimes"

It looks like as if one day, this system will be behind the glass case
This is a picture of only a very small amount of rare finds that Video Games New York can offer you.
