Not all in One Piece: A collection of One Piece manga

Spending my time productively, I figured that before I move out of my riverside appartment I should take a picture of my collection of Japanese One Piece manga to date.

Below you will find volumes 01 through to 64, arranged as only an OCD freak such as myself knows. Enjoy.

TIME FOR RESSURECTION

Hello, it's been a while. I remember when we used to meet at least once a week, bringing each other up to speed with current events in the games industry, providing readers with interesting snippets of information feeding their excitement and eagerness.

Want to do it again? Now would be a good time to restart.

Time for resurrection...

Thanks to Nathan Dalud & Free Tattoo Designs for the excellent rendition of the immortal bird.

UPDATE OF CANADA VACATION SOON

Hello there readers. Bet you're wondering where the updates have been for a while.

Well the answer is that I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks, meaning that I haven't had regular access to my blog to provide you with interesting updates that you may otherwise like to read from time to time. I do however have an interesting update to come with a post of my experiences taking a vacation in Toronto, Canada.

There will be interesting observations, how I feel about tipping and state taxes, the nightlife, a trip to Niagara Falls, photos and the odd video or two.

Be sure to check Honeyman-On in the next couple of days to see what it is all about...

Feel like posting any comments on the matter or your own experiences in the pleasant country north of the USA? Feel free to post them in the Comments section down below.

LONG TIME WAITING FOR AN UPDATE

So it has been nearly two months now since my last update on the blog here. I can only apologise for my lack of frequent updates but what with moving, readjusting to a new shift and trying to fit it around everything else, updating the blog has temporarily faded into the background as of recent.

I wil try to get back to regular updates on the blog soon as I do enjoy doing it and need to get back into a routine.

Look forward to future updates soon.

By the way, you might like to check out my friend Seb's blog in the meantime as his output has been quite high as of late. Take a look if you're interested:

Tweets coming at you on a sunny Summer weekend

So this week's Tweets of our favourite three Japanese developers carries some interesting information regarding the current projects they are working on.

Producer on beat-em-up Street Fighter IV, Yoshinori Ono, responds to a fan's request for new DLC in SF: Arcade Edition regarding the potential inclusion of Elena (keeping things ambiguous as usual). He also confirmed that fans should not expect Street Fighter X Tekken on other platforms beyond the 360, PS3 and Playstation Vita.

Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada talks about dragon radars and gaining the Gametrailers award for best fighting game at this year's E3 event in Los Angeles. He also commented on the mention that the game could be multiplatform, stating that it is too early a stage to truly say if this will be the case or not.

And Hideo Kojima comments on a show he went to see at the Dome Theater called Young Alive, The Future of the Opening IPS Cell, explaining that it features prolific voice actress Nana Mizuki and Shouzo Iizuka together with CG elements crafted in 3D to boot.

The games designer also reminisces on a photo from 20 years ago, showing him and former work colleagues who worked on earlier Metal Gear Solid games, wondering if the girl on the right in the was at the time the new recruit Sato-san (which you can see HERE)

An update not too much out of the ordinary from our famed developers then. Be sure to continue checking Honeyman-On for more weekly updates and feel free to leave any comments you want to in the section below.

The week's tweets talk of returns home, Tekken on iPhone and Saturday TV dramas

Hello again avid readers and welcome to this week's updates of our well known Japanese game developers. This time around we have tales of returning to Japan, iPhone games and dramas on Japanese TV station NHK.

Let's start with the latest update from Super Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono.

Returning from this year's E3 in Los Angeles, he explains that he has returned a heavy rain-ridden Japan which is no surprise given the country is in the middle of tsuyu (known to Westerners as rainy season).

He remarks that it feels that the tasks related to the presentations at E3 are done and dusted, charging up for the next project presentation he will have to give when he gets back to Capcom.

In response to a fan's question on his Twitter account as to whether Tekken will appear on the iPhone at some points, series producer Katsuhiro Harada replies that this is merely unconfirmed at this stage, adding that an iPhone Tekken game may just be a little difficult.

And Metal Gear Solid producer Hideo Kojima talks of a Saturday afternoon TV drama called Otokotachi no Tabiji (Journeys of Men for Western ears).

The film-minded game designer comments on the series' stars Shinichi Chiba and Masao Kusakari also starring in another drama together that carries the name of Jyujirou (Cross in English). He wonders if and when this will receive a DVD release, ever being the eager consumer of media.

Another interesting week in the lives of our three renowned games designers then. Feel free to leave any thoughts in the Comments section below, continue checking Honeyman-On for more Twitter updates and some original content in the near future as well (as soon as life calms down again).
