Infinite Stratos 2: Ignition Hearts

Last autumn 2013, Infinite Stratos returned for its explosive and high-octane second season in Infinite Stratos 2. The second season of IS...some follow, others change lanes. It's their move. After getting the fans fasten their seatbelts on the New IS, there's still more assault in store for the New IS even after the second season concluded.

Infinite Stratos 2: Ignition Hearts (PS3)

Infinite Stratos 2: Ignition Hearts (PSVita)


The first ever video game in the IS franchise finally power-slided our way exclusively on the Playstation systems, namely the PS3 and the PSVita hand-held console. So, what's it all about the new Infinite Stratos video game? To find out, time to press the ENGINE START STOP button from the inside of the IS and let's go because this is going to be one heck of a ride! Be warned though...Professional Driver. Closed Course. Do Not Attempt.

In this game, Ichika has lost his memory and it's up to the girls to retrieve back his memories no matter what it takes. Simple as that and that's just the start because while strapping yourselves on the driver's seat for the heck of it, Ignition Hearts is in the form of a dating-sim game with a difference and in this different kind of dating-sim, choices are the critical point of the game because even a slight mistake would cost you badly. Whether if its facing with Houki Shinonono, Cecilia Alcott, Huang Lingyin, Charlotte Dunois, Laura Bodewig, and the Sarashiki girls (Tatenashi and Kanzashi), your judgement is on balance between a success or failure. Keep them happy and their Ignition point will raise but get it wrong, their Stress point will raise and if its too much stress, the game is over...unless you want to trigger the Passion Event. Be careful when your out there or you will be in big trouble.

This is how it's done with one of the following official videos:



Because both the PS3 game and the PSVita game were launched simultaneously, you can take advantage of its cross-save feature. This is a very convenient Playstation feature. Play this game on the PS3 and if you want to continue while you're away, initiate the cross-save and continue your gameplay to your PSVita.

Having talked through the fundamentals of this dating-sim game based on the hit anime series, Ignition Hearts is not quite a bad game for an IS fan but because of such complicating ways this dating-sim has to offer, it's going to be a lot more difficult as you faced with numerous dating-sim games in the past but when you get the hang of it, it's not really bad at all. As a quick precaution, you might run into several unusual scenes as you progress in the mission to recover Ichika's memories such in the case of one of the characters who is going to be your fiance or wife or whatever stuff that is surely going to be messy.

Like the anime series, Ignition Hearts features the opening theme song by Minami Kuribayashi and the closing theme song by the IS girls. Opening song is titled coloration while the Ending theme is titled Grow Up Shining!!

Onto the limited editio;, for those who've already pre-ordered it, the limited edition in both the PS3 and the PSVita versions come with a SD figure of Charlotte and the soundtrack CD. For the PS3 version, players get a product code for the swimsuits while PSVita owners get the bath towel costume code.

And that's the end of this...test drive. You're free to come out from the IS now.

Pompeii (2014 film)

Pompeii

Two millenniums ago, a volcano called Mt. Vesuvius violently erupted and leaving the Roman town of Pompeii left no trace of life behind. Yes, we all read the history books about the fires of Pompeii but there's a bit more to this story than that because this new film titled Pompeii, what the producers said, uncovers the untold story during the events of the once memorable Roman village in the brink of doom. We know it's a bit of an untold story but sadly though, it wasn't.

I was expecting to be more of uncovering stuff about the fires of Pompeii, something that we can't find it on our history books but no. It's just a facsimile of Gladiator but only just on the first half.

Celt, played by actor Kit Harrington, witnessed the Romans' butchering of his village, led by Senator Corvus (played by 24's Kiefer Sutherland who was going to be the new English dub for Snake in the upcoming two Metal Gear Solid V video games; Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain) when he was young and 17 years later, he stood up to become one of the strongest gladiators in Londinium and all his combat skills led him to Pompeii where he caught the eye of a beautiful aristocrat named Cassia, played by Emily Browning. The two developed a bond between them but it was been proven to be difficult because Corvus seeks to make Cassia his wife.

The first half of the film is nothing more of a Gladiator look-alike because in my mind, it feels much of a same thing. The battles, the bloodbaths, everything that viewers may think that it has some stuff from Gladiator in it but when viewers approached to the part when Mt. Vesuvius violently erupted and turning into "disaster movie" mode, this movie tries to appeal itself to the very end and the fires of Pompeii is worth witnessing for the viewers wanting to know how did a Roman village heavily devastated in a cataclysmic volcano eruption. Well, if you were once learning history lessons up to this moment, you might think that in the fires of Pompeii, no one ever survived in the aftermath of one of the most cataclysmic disasters in ancient history but...ahem...remind you of any?

In conclusion, if you like Pompeii …or not because well, not quite a good movie or a bit Gladiator-ish until the eruption part, how about re-watching a DW episode called The Fires of Pompeii? It’s one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes in ages!

They'll still be able to enjoy the original Car Town and the Blue Points they have will be transferred. Sadly, for utter disappointment for the players, all the items, the cars, the experience, and cash, cannot be transfered so say goodbye to all your hard-worked stuff. What a disappointment.

It happened since February 25 when a report showcased a 21-year-old woman who allegedly had the "flesh-eating" disease which turned to be she had leprosy, while the male resident in that report turned out to be he had severe psoriasis. The Department of Health officially told that there's no such thing as a "flesh-eating" disease lurking around the province. Tourism has badly affected and Raffy Barraan, the Pangasinan admin, said that this is a blow-up because they didn't investigate it properly. There was a Facebook page called ABS-CBN Should Apologize to the People of Pangasinan, begging the network to apologize from the big mistake.

The statement from ABS-CBN's Bandila:

"Humihingi ang Bandila ng paumanhin kung ang ulat naming tungkol sa dalawang magkaibang kaso ng sakit sa balat ay nagdulot ng takot o pangamba lalo na sa lalawigan ng Pangasinan.

"Iniimbestigahan na ngayon ng ABS-CBN's Office of the Network Ombudsman (ONO) ang mga pangyayari sa likod ng naturang ulat.

"Sisiguraduhin ng ABS-CBN News na magpapatupad ito ng karampatang aksyon ayon sa resulta ng imbestigasyon ng ONO."

GT6: Cars that are Gran Turismo exclusive - Cadillac Cien



Today, it's a 2002 Cadillac Cien Concept. This high-performance concept serves as an evolution to Cadillac's breakthrough Art & Science design philosophy, the sort of design language that saved Cadillac from its extinction. It was made to celebrate 100 years of Cadillac, although the Cien name is Spanish for hundred. It even made an appearance at the 2005 Michael Bay film, The Island, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson.

This Cien will run straight through the Goodwood Hill Climb but at what time will the Cien post?









It posted a 52.339 lap time!

That is as thrilling as the scene from The Island but still, the V12 engine that powers it is definitely a monster with a force to be reckoned with. It's done in the name of Art & Science.

Honda axes the Insight hybrid

Second-generation Honda Insight (2009-2014)

There is a report from a Japanese website, MONOist, stating that production of the second-generation Honda Insight, launched since February 2009, is ceased starting this month and overseas sale of this hybrid will cease at the June of 2014. The reason why Honda decided to remove the Insight from the Honda Cars lineup is because of poor sales and the transition to Honda's SPORT HYBRID drivetrain.

Last year, about 3,880 units of the Honda Insight were sold in Japan while 11,951 units for the world market. The cumulative sales up to the end of September 2012 were 265,346 units.

There's a possibility that Honda may remove some of the IMA-equipped hybrids such as the CR-Z hybrid, the Fit Shuttle Hybrid, and the Freed Hybrid.

The big scoop today...

- THE iDOLM@STER franchise isn't all about cute female idols but good-looking bishonens are joining the fray as announced on the recently concluded M@STERS OF IDOL WORLD!!2014 concert. Anyway, NBGi was pleased to give iM@S a brand new spin with the introduction of their brand new mobile game called Side M. What's Side M? Think of it as the Girl's Side of the franchise because here, ummm...how can I say this? Oh yeah! You'll be producing brand new male idols just like what you do in the whole series.

Here in iM@S Side M, you are the producer of the newly established 315 (Saigo) Productions and good-looking hunks from Japan gave up their jobs and signed up to become idols. Take in the case of former lawyer Teru Tendo, former pilot Tsubasa Kashiwagi, former surgeon Kaoru Sakuraba and so much more. Those dudes do had a backstory of their own...

You may remember that the boy band, comprised of Shota Mitarai, Toma Amagase, and Hokuto Ijuin, were the ones from the notorious 961Pro, made your lives difficult but ever since they left the production company for good, it's your decision as the new producer of 315 Pro: will you give those a new lease of life as idols?

Gran Turismo 6: Track-day Locomotion

Welcome to Twin Ring Motegi, one of the most premier racing tracks located in Japan. And here on the eastern part of the track, I'm enjoying myself on open-wheelers, every track-day boys' favorite. If you asked your friends to go on kart racing on this course, you'd better get on one of these...



It's a Racing Kart 125 Shifter, a go-kart with a manual gearbox for added challenge, capped at 175kph but can I, and some well-established open-wheelers do better? I think I can...

At Gran Turismo, we're always at the forefront of open-wheeling proportions. Those cars maybe small but they are surely had big attitudes, leaving a big and fast sportscar stripped out of its dignity and sent home to its mom. Today, I'll be personally testing three track-focused open-wheelers and find out if it can beat the 125 Shifter's 1:31.394 lap time round the eastern part of the Twin Ring Motegi.



First up is the KTM X-BOW, it's made by an Austrian motorbike company and it features a turbocharged Audi engine mounted in the middle as well as host of other features that makes it more track-focused while being usable on the road. We've gone for the R version because this is more powerful than the Street version I had a while back.

As the clock starts, the X-BOW set sail like a wheelchair mounted with fire extinguishers. This little track-day car does really have a really big attitude and in the corners, it's all in a cleavage's work. Cleavage? Ahem, it's a geology kind of cleavage, not the one you're familiar with but anyway, it managed to shaved off a second from the racing kart, bearing the time of 1:30.319, With its sleek aerodynamic styling and its superior handling, the X-BOW managed to outwit the smaller racing cart by a margin without a margin of error. So, what's next?



This. The Gran Turismo-exclusive LCC Rocket. Before Gordon Murray gave birth to the design of the McLaren F1, he collaborated with Chris Craft, a former Grand Prix racer, to establish the Light Car Company and this is the brainchild of the LCC. It's powered by a 4-cylinder Yamaha FJ1200 motorcycle engine sitting in the middle of the car producing 166HP of power. It was styled to look like a Grand Prix car from the 60's but the question is...will I need it?

Weighing less than 400kg, it's surprisingly lighter than the X-BOW but it's short of power than the X-BOW. With such stats, I felt like I was getting ripped off by the promise of being a quick car and betrayed by my steering so in the finish line, it's a photo finish. The Rocket finished at 1:31.158, a few milliseconds quicker than the go-kart but slower than the X-BOW so it's time for the last roll of the dice.

 

With me and my Caterham Fireblade. Of course, other games feature numerous Caterhams but the only Caterham you won't find anywhere else is, to be exact, the Fireblade. I may not quite specific about what Caterham should not be allowed to be featured in any other game but I'm sure this is it. This is the Caterham no other game should feature rather than the Gran Turismo series...the Fireblade.

A hard foot on the pedal...and nothing. No matter how hard I tried, the Fireblade is struggling to keep up against the go-kart and the go-kart rocked home and I am magnanimous in defeat.

KTM X-BOW R - 1:30.319
Rocket - 1:31.158
Fireblade - 1:38.900

So, based on the results conducted by me, the X-BOW R is the champion on this GT6 comparo test. Those motorcycle engine-powered open-wheelers maybe a waste of time but it's official, if you want an open-wheeler that is even better than the Rocket or the Fireblade, then the X-BOW R is for you!

Top Gear S21E04

Top Gear S21E04

The fourth episode of Top Gear Series 21 highlights numerous Caterhams, a 6-wheeled G63 AMG at the Middle East, and Clarkson driving a bespoke sportscar in Italy.

First off, James May is on the TG Track to take on new Caterhams such as the ultimate 620R, the entry-level 160, and the futuristic AeroSeven Concept.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Clarkson travels to Italy to try out the exclusive and bespoke Touring Disco Volante.

Jack Whitehall is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car and he posted a lap time of a very disappointing 1:54.5. The slowest lap time ever recorded by a guest celeb in the Astra.

And lastly, Richard Hammond returns to the Middle East to try out the G63 AMG 6x6 and causing too much mischief until giving this behemoth a good kicking at the desert. What's even amazing is that the G63 6x6 comes with re-inflatable tires.

The episode concludes when the boys decided what if a sportscar can remove the table sheet quickly without knocking out the essentials and courtesy of The Stig...it didn't done quite well. The car is okay but the table essentials got knocked off!

Next week, this is it! The moment of truth...If the Porsche 918 is faster than the P1, Jeremy Clarkson will rename himself to Jennifer. Will it happen? Find out next week!

Congratulations or should I say Поздравляю, Россия!

The end of Sochi 2014 marks the countdown of the next Winter Games as the Russians passed the torch to the hosting nation for the next 2018 Winter Olympics; South Korea. See you all in PyeongChang this 2018!

That concludes this year's winter games at Sochi. Thank you and good bye!

Six Nations 2014 - Round 3


In the third round of this year's RBS Six Nations, it looks like France's FFR never stood a chance against the might of our heroes from the Wales Rugby Union, with a score of a massive 27 to 6, in favor of the Welsh. This is all thanks to the outstanding performance by George North and Sam Warburton in either half of the game. This is all done to keep their last year's champion's title in balance.

Check out the highlights:



Well done, Wales. We have our massive support...sort of but still, moments after the Welsh defeated the French, there was a match between Scotland vs. Italy and at the score of 20 - 21, Scotland won the match after Duncan Weir's last-ditch attempt to score a goal.



After that, it's England Rugby vs. IRFU and at the score of 13 - 10, England easily beats Ireland.

 

So, on the tally; Wales and England are now edging alongside Ireland and France with two wins each while Scotland scored their first win in this season while Italy hasn't won any. Round 4 starts at the 8th of March starting with IRFU vs. FIR at 14:30 GMT while Scotland vs. FFR at 17:00 GMT and England Rugby vs. WRU on the next day at 15:00 GMT.
