"Where is Zero Network Version 2.0?"

"Where the hell were you?"

Two months of zero updates being made to this website. Yes, I am sorry but Zero Network Version 2.0 will not be here any moment. One of the main reason for this is because I am still finding what exactly I want to do with this website - yes I am still thinking.

As to where I am, I was very busy with real life during the period of January and early February this year preparing for my final presentations in the school I am in. After that for the rest of the months, I basically slacked and thought through what this website should be - which I am still thinking... see the similarity between this sentence and the above?

The future of Zero Network is still blurry but I can assure you that this wouldn't be the final update post you will see.

 Title: Guilty Crown - BIOS
 Date: Thursday, 26 January, 2012 (9.59 AM)
 Posted By: Shadow X

You who may have watched Guilty Crown might be impressed by the background music back during the first battle in episode 1. Wait no more, now you can finally hear the full music! The background music used is named BIOS and is included inside Guilty Crown OST. Like always, I have also added extra music for you to listen.This includes BIOS DELTA (a sadder version of the original) and Krone (which has bits and pieces of BIOS inside). Hope you enjoy~!

P.S: Up before you can download in Gendou! :P

Update (10.08 AM): Seems like I misplaced the URL between Krone and BIOS DELTA. Now it has been fixed, sorry about it. Oh and by the way, do you agree that Krone is quite similar to Gundam Unicorn OST track 2, Unicorn BGM?

 Title: Bigger & Bolder Than Before - Zero Network Master Revamp
 Date: Thursday, 26 January, 2012 (2.50 AM)
 Posted By: Shadow X

A couple of days I announced the development of Zero Network Version 2.0 along with the new changes that you can expect to see. Today, I shall announce that version 2.0 changes will be much bigger and bolder!

In this upcoming version 2.0, Zero Network will be re-hosted to a new paid web hosting service that will support PHP and FTP. By shifting to a web host that supports PHP and FTP, this brings many possibilities that I can do with the website.

One of the new possibilities is to incorporate a FTP content management system whereby I can have news editors to post news updates with me, something that I want to do long ago. Another possibilities is to easily create custom RSS feeds on my own by using PHP. Of course, there are many more but this is just the beginning.

There is no expected date when version 2.0 will be release. However, I am planning to get it done and finish before March so I will have time to post news entries on the upcoming Guild Wars 2 weekend beta on March and April. Do expect these new changes to be awesome!

Zero Network Version 2.0 will be introduce this coming late February/early March. The significant changes will be basically everything. Zero Network will revert back to a news based website just like my ex-website, Shadow Inc in V2.0. In addition, Zero Network V2.0 will also introduce a new, cleaner layout.

In the coming weeks, there will also be a drop of updates since I am finishing up my last term in my school (hence will be extremely busy). However, do look forward to late February/early March for V2.0!

You did it Sunrise. The cycle repeats itself yet again. Great joke for killing off Yurin even though I already expected it... but still she is 100 times better than Emily. Clapzjust4u. At least you managed to capture a boy's heart.

Most winter season anime are now out and in my opinion, Rinne no Lagrange OP is the best among all of them! Enjoy this OP~!

Nice fight from Gundam V.S. Gundam Next Plus. The EX Strike Freedom is different from the normal Strike Freedom that you can use in the game. According to the person who made this video, the EX Strike Freedom is the boss form of the normal version in mission mode. Obtaining this will obviously require using some cheat engine. Enjoy the video!

What a cliffhanger end to the first part of Fate/Zero. I thought they will conclude it with the death of Caster but it did not. Oh well, we wouldn't be seeing Fate/Zero until 3 to 4 months time. Meanwhile, enjoy this clip that I extracted from episode 13 - Saber, protected by Lady of the Lake.

One of my friends shared this with me, didn't know the first official trailer for The Hobbit was out. Anyway, it is looking good (as always)! The soundtrack is great and it brings back lots of LOTR moments for me too. Can't wait for next year December!

Guilty Crown is bullshit, makes me laugh. Last Exile Fam episode 10 is a recap episode, uh what seriously? Fuck this. Anyway enjoy this video from Last Exile Fam which I wanted to post a week ago but totally forgotten about it.

 Title: Gundam AGE Appreciation Day
 Date: Tuesday, 13th December, 2011 (8.02 PM)
 Posted By: Shadow X

I jumped into conclusion and said that Gundam AGE sucks, well, I was wrong. I didn't really check out the new Gundam series until yesterday when I found out that Sunrise is planning to make this a unique series by having a time skip of three generations. That's right bitches, three generations. The main protagonist will be the direct descendant of the previous protagonist. With that being said, I am now kind of looking forward to Gundam AGE more. So... in order to appreciate this series, I present to you a video that was taken from the latest episode - the debut of Gundam Spallow *ninja*.

 Title: Screw you GONZO!

You used three episodes to build-up an awesome friend to friend relationship problem, and you used one episode with a few minutes to solve it? Seriously, what a way to kill the characters development of the show. But whatever screw all the main characters and lesbians for this Last Exile sequel, at least Vincent finally made his appearance (see video below)!

Note: This post is referring to Last Exile ~Fam the Silver Wing~ episode 9. Oh and by the way, I left the ending intact in the above video so enjoy (I really love Hitomi singing since Code Geass).

Right to the point today, have fun listening to Guilty Crown ending and insert songs - Departures and Euterpe respectively!

P.S: I want that fucking insert song when they play the battle scene in Guilty Crown. Fucking OST hope it come out soon. Oh and once again, all these are in MP3 format so stfu.

Update: I am aware that the current layout has some issue with Internet Explorer (everyone just hates IE don't they?). I have already figured out what caused this issue but I will only be implementing this fix in the upcoming new white version of the layout.

This is probably the worst RPG experience you can ever have... that is if you have a friend who isn't really a friend who is actually an enemy yet is actually a friend. LOL.

Video: The above anime is Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, featuring episode 5 where the characters enter a virtual RPG world.

By now all you otakus should have heard of Guilty Crown. Today, I am presenting you otakus with a wonderful gift. I have obtained the full opening of Guilty Crown opening song, My Dearest. Enjoy the song!~

Note: I uploaded the song in MP3 format, however you will notice that the quality is not that great because this song is probably ripped from a Japanese radio station playing the song in Japan. The official release date for the single is November 23rd, 2011.

Update (20/11/2011): Reuploaded the song to a higher quality version. This version is probably from early release single sales. Enjoy!~

 Title: Music Pages URL Fixed

The hell? I am still updating this website? Hell yeah. Anyway, apparently Freewebs have changed how URLs in HTML code work in their website. As of now URLs being used in Freewebs are case sensitive and due to this when you attempt to enter the music pages, you will not be able to find these pages. However, I have fixed the problem now so everything is working back to normal.

In the coming weeks I might be adding a new playlist just for this season anime because it contains several nice music that I believe is worthy to be shared among you guys.

Life have been sooooo busy that I forgotten about this website. Final exams finishing this Thursday so I can finally start writing on some damn game reviews. The game reviews will be mainly on old released games such as Final Fantasy XIV, Killing Floor, MOH: Airborne, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft and so on. Of course, I will be covering on upcoming game titles such as Dead Island, Battlefield 3, TES: Skyrim and so on. For now, I will go back and study my ass out.

 Title: Guild Wars 2 - More Dungeons Goodness!
 Date: Friday, 1 July, 2011 (4.01 PM)
 Posted By: Shadow X

Last week, ArenaNet released information for underwater combat as well as some details on dungeons. This week, the team decided to focus on releasing more information for the dungeons! With the "holy trinity" being remove completely from the game, the way players complete its objective within a dungeon will be very different. There isn't a need to go around town or party search looking for a damn tank or healer for hours, all you have to do is group up with some strangers straight away and engage the dungeon. Quick wit is probably the only thing you must master if you want to survive in this new type of dungeon gameplay! To read more about this, visit the following link - William Fairfield on Designing the Dungeons

In addition, ArenaNet had released a short cinematic video on one of the dungeon which is the Ascalonian Catacombs. The usage of artworks in the cinematic is brilliant as it allows players to appreciate the artworks of the game, something that gamers always lack of. Of course, you will probably see more of these cinematic in the game as it will be the way GW2 will tell its story to you! Watch the video below!
