Holy crap, Pre-1 has that much vocabulary that doesn't show up in the OED of Japanese? That's one hell of a hardcore test.

Kanken 3 is already a big accomplishment for a foreigner, but I prefer to compare myself to the natives. I see level 2 as the standard for well-educated native Japanese, so I WILL pass it next time.

Program: Photoshop CS3
Difficulty: Medium
Translatable: Yes
PSD Included: No
( I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. )
I was wondering where I can get Rolo's phone strap. I was sure that they sell it and searched but couldn't find anything. Then I saw a photo of one so now I'm even more convinced that there must exist such a merchandise item. But I didn't find anything on ebay or yesasia.com
Any ideas???

Anyway, despite the promising premise, I gotta admit, I was kind of disappointed.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, since it is what it set out to be: an "expanded edition", but ultimately it left me with the impression of a lazy author. Like, this guy got a really good idea for a book, but didn't want to write it all himself, so he just edited the original Pride and Prejudice. I think it would have been a lot better if he'd re-written it all from scratch. Kind of a waste ^^;

No matter what I do, because it's so low quality, I can't seem to lighten it up & make it look somewhat decent. Any idea how I can do this without loosing all the detail & without everything blending in?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Can't seem to find any tags to put this with.. so I think this one works, sorry!

Any ideas on what I can do so the speed isn't like that? I screencap at 40 frames per second, and the time between each frame in ImageReady is set to 0sec. I've tried many things, and I have a headache from all this D:
Any help is very very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Solved! Thank you all so much (:

Squenix acquired Taito much later than Quest. I guess this means the Ogre Battle series is dead.

Notes augmented
We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!
Product tweaks and bug kill
- In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
- If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
- The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
- If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
- If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
- Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)
New FCK fixes rich text editor!
- We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
- When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
- RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
- An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
- The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers
LiveJournal Cares
We’re pleased to introduce you to
lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit
lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.
Papered in postcards
A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!
Photos of the week
We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at
lj_photophile.
You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

We thank you, once again, for joining us. See you next week!

Every tutorial I can find is for Photoshop or something else, but I'm using Gimp.
Does anyone know a tutorial for that?
I'm glad about every help!
And holy crap, the little artwork of Udon in the back of the tome is better than everything else in it! It feels like I wasted my money buying this official SF artwork collection, shoulda bought Udon's Capcom artwork collection instead.
Thanks in advance
I'm using Photoshop [Photoshop 7 or cs4, I have both on seperate computers]
