Let's Do The News! (March 6, 2014)

The big scoop today...

- Seen the Koenigsegg One:1 hypercar at this year's Geneva show? Guess what? EA exclusivity. Sorry. Because EA partnered with Koenigsegg to give players of Need For Speed Rivals an exclusive drive with the ultimate Koenigsegg ever made as a free DLC. With the One:1 at the hands of every NFS player playing NFSR, they can become the ultimate "street terrorist" as a Racer or the "ultimate law enforcer" as a Cop. About the One:1, it's Koenigsegg's ultimate hypercar because as its name implies, the power-to-weight ratio is an impossible 1hp-to-kg. 1,342 horsepower, 1,341kg of weight, no other hypercar comes close!


- Back to the Ukraine standoff; Ukrainian PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk warned that Crimea will remain in Ukraine. This is part of the developing news in the Russian military invasion to Crimea, and it seems that US President Obama is on a risky game of Russian Roulette on Russian President Putin's plot to send military forces to Crimea...

- The 3-hour brownouts in Mindanao will continue...

- A South Korean TV network, SBS, were in hot water right now over a suicide of a female contestant on a reality matchmaking show called Jjak. This contestant was found dead during a week-long production shoot at a guesthouse in Jeju Island by hanging herself with a hair dryer cord and left a suicide note stating she didn't want to live anymore.

- The BMW X4 is revealed officially.



- It is reported that there are now a total of seven Ferrari F12 units in the Philippine roads. Six of them were from Autostrada Motore, the official Ferrari and Maserati distributor in the Philippines, and the other was smuggled. 

- Jaguar officially announced that their new 3-Series fighter and potential X-Type replacement will be called the XE.

- Have you seen the new trailer of the upcoming horror flick, Oculus? Yes, and Karen Gillan's included in the trailer.

- Now available in Forza Motorsport 5 is the Alpinestars Car Pack and like last month's pack; one new-to-Forza car, 9 returning Forza cars. Here are the list of this month's cars;

- Aside from adding the V12 Vantage S, DB9, and the Vanquish in the latest Real Racing 3 update, they've even added new features by popular demand such as Customization and Photo Mode. Check it out and if you haven't got one of 2013's best app games, download one now from the App Store or Google Play.

- Manny V Pangilingan, one of Philippines' big-time businessmen, is losing interest in acquiring a stake in GMA. PEP reports.

- Let's end today's segment with a following announcement because...well, this is the Lent season, small sacrifices will be made. Anyway, I won't be blogging around this blog from Maundy Thursday (April 17, 2014) to Black Saturday (April 19, 2014). I'll be back on the 20th of April. That's Easter Sunday. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

TTFN!!!
