Let's Do The News! (July 20, 2012)

You were thinking that you like the prefer the new BMW M6 more than the Jaguar XKR-S, am I right?

Yeah but it appears this new M6 is a bit of a hassle like the Jaguar XKR-S. 4.4L V8 with 560PS of power vs. 5.0L Supercharged V8 with 550PS of power. With the available M Driver's Package, it will trounce the Jaguar XKR-S in the straights.

Oh really?

Not sure. I'm not an expert of anything...

(audience laughing)

Anyway, let's do the news!

Right and most of you people already heard the mega bad news about the Nurburgring as the GREEN HELL filed for bankruptcy, which made us sad that the legendary racetrack has been succumbed to the Euro Debt Crisis.

Oh my. Poor Nurburgring! Can't believe that the world's ultimate racetrack has gone bust! Everyone had a lot of memories on this racetrack, even Top Gear, where the Ford Transit van, driven by Nurburgring genius Sabine Schmitz, tries to beat Jeremy's time set by his diesel-powered Jag of nine minutes and 59 seconds but she failed and her best in the Transit was 10 minutes and eight seconds.

Ah the memories at the Ring... 

Nurburgring

Nurburgring

Yeah. Good memories indeed but anyway, in case you want to know what just happened to the Nurburgring since the filing for bankruptcy, here's a link for some Q&A at:


Here, you'll learn something about...well...what I said...Nurburgring since it went bust. But that reminds me...because the Nurburgring filed for bankruptcy, will the famed racetrack be closed? Some say...

Probably not, because the Ring earns money only when kept open. But it might be under control of the insolvency administrator or a private owner thereafter.

Yep, business as usual even the track went bust. Anyway, moving on...

Now, you may probably heard the rare case of how did someone survived miraculously after getting their heads pierced by some long stuff, especially javelins. On that news I found, I heard that a teenage girl from Japan miraculously survived after her head got pierced by a javelin.

(oooohhh)


Would that be scary? When I think when someone accidentally thrown a javelin on someone else's head, would they die.

Well yeah. Most people died when they got their head pierced by some unsuspecting object. Remember the head shot thing? A shot in a head will be called a one-shot kill. But on this javelin story...Can't believe that she's lucky enough to survive a life-threatening situation.

Yeah, what luck. Imagine if you got survived when your head got shot by a bullet.

(audience laughing)

Anyway, while the Formula One 2012 season is getting wilder than what we think, Codemasters, the game brand behind the Formula One video games, is making a new game which combines Mario Kart gameplay with super deformed Formula One stars especially Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg, Bruno Senna, and all of our favorite F1 stars.

Really? A new Formula One video game does Mario Kart? LOLZ.

(audience laughing)

What's it called?

It's called F1 RACE STARS.


This new game packs fantasy versions of real F1 tracks but because this is just like Mario Kart, there are some power ups along the way to blast the competition. It kinda reminded me of some video game I had...

Really? What is it?

It was DIDDY KONG RACING from the Nintendo 64.

Diddy Kong Racing? Wow, you got some childhood memories out there...

I love that game when I was a kid. By land, air, or sea, Diddy Kong Racing is a bit of a childish race because of the different characters and different powerups that you can trounce your opponents. Ah those memories I've remembered when I was a kid....

Ahem, enough childhood memories for now and let's move on. 

Right, as some anime fans remember Akemi Kanda as the seiyuu behind Negima's Asuna Kagurazaka, which is one of our faves. Guess what? We heard that Akemi Kanda...um....

What?

(murmuring)

What did you said? I heard something!

(murmuring)

Right! She got married!


Why are you murmuring Clarks?

Don't regret it. As seiyuus come and go, they're moving on for bigger and better things? Life after Negima can be a bit complicating...Even Miss Akemi Kanda announced that she got married with some normal people I'd never know...

Don't get upset pal. As heard, she'll continue her job even her married life you know...

E he he he....

Anyway, Series 2 of the Seitokai no Ichizon anime is coming this fall 2012 and we just heard that there's going to be some cast changes around here...

What?

Some say...Yuka Saitou, who originally played Chizuru Akaba in the first series, is being replaced by Mina (Heaven's Lost Property's Sohara Mitsuki, Is This a Zombie?'s Kanami Mihara). Yuki Horinaka, who originally played Mafuyu Shiina, will be replaced by Iori Nomizu (Heaven's Lost Property's Nymph, Cat Planet Cuties' Antonia).


Cast changes can be a rarity for any anime series but hey, it's kinda weird that every time when there's a new season of a certain anime coming, it's a rare thing that there's going to be some cast changes and that's very very rubbish. Cast changes are seriously uncool unless some conditions like when a seiyuu got some health concerns.

(oooohh)

Indeed you're right pal. Cast changes are seriously uncool unless some conditions like when a seiyuu got some health concerns. Better not forsake the late Tomoko Kawakami. Remember, she died last year. Don't let her down.

(calmly) Uh....okay....

Right, now anyway, on to the subject of the upcoming AFA INDONESIA, the first ever Anime Festival Asia event to held in Indonesia. Check out the ticket prices...

Now that's big! A selection of big stars are coming and I have to say, KOTOKO is probably one of the best guests on that event.

Why?

Remember the closing theme song from Tweeny Witches? KOTOKO did that. Gosh I want that song so much because the song's a bit too catchy and repetition of this song is extremely high. I wanted this song more than any other.

1,000th Lamborghini Aventador built with new owner and Lambo CEO
1000th Aventador

Anyway, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, it made a milestone for this car because 1,000 units were made and the the 1,000th Aventador was owned by Bavarian architect Hans Scheldecker, who was from Germany, and this 1000th Venta is colored in Arancio Argos.


I have to say, congrats to the 1,000th Aventador owner. Glad that he's German. He he he....

(audience laughing)

And on that bombshell, that's the news! For a quick reminder though, President Noynoy's SONA will be in July 23, 2012, this Monday. Wonder what promises did this President achieved or failed?
