Ouch, it's hard working for the digicam company that was wrecked by numerous scandals last year, especially if the digicam company used to be operated by some British businessman who was battered by the media. Very sad day. Deepest condolences to the family of the managing director of Olympus Medical Systems. Anyway, we found something that I'm completely ruined. Nope, we're not talking about that "Stewie Ruined Evening" joke. It's this...
Now, you would probably know that if it's 12:00 midnight in the USA, the Playstation Vita is on sale. So, who's excited for this? Gosh, if you were an OFW working at the USA, this would be a good pasalubong to your kids living in the Philippines. However, hold your horses. If you were an anime otaku, you might be wondering how the heck someone going to make a new game based on the anime and put it on the Vita's predecessor, the good old Playstation Portable. Take this, it seems that the hit anime series Bakemonogatari is going to have a PSP game this August but how? Why would they make games based on anime series placed on the old PSP even though that the PSVita was launched in Japan last year? Why did they didn't put it on the PSVita instead? Gosh, that's insufferable...
That's a wrong move. Even when the PSVita's out in Japan, seems that most Japanese game makers still making games for the PSP, especially the 2nd Oreimo game, Madoka Magica PSP game, Nendoroid Generation, Strike Witches, and that new Milky Holmes PSP game which a limited edition includes a Nendoroid. Stupid thing...
Well, maybe not because a website called "WIRED" interviewed Sony's Game Design Chief, Shuhei Yoshida, about the PSVita. He was right. Many developers and publishers in Japan decided to shift focus to portables. He also said that if you were looking at some release schedules, you would expect that there will be still lots of PSP games coming out in Japan this year. No wonder that most Japan has the most demand for PSP games and they prefer the UMD ones rather than the digital downloads.

Guess he's right but hey, it's Japan. Sony is Japanese. The PSP, PS3, and the PSVita is made in Japan, so it's okay. It's your thing there.
Now, you may probably remember the Mosler MT900, it's the exotic that is made in the USA when the first one came out in 2001 and later updated as the MT900S in 2003. It's the car featured in Forza Motorsport 3 and 4! Anyway, the hardcore Photon version. Mosler limits the production of the hardcore MT900S Photo by "one unit per year", which sounds a bit more awkward. Guess this exotic's going to be a modern classic...
Now, this one's based on the new R231 SL-Klasse and this comes with the 5.5L V8 Bi-Turbo engine. That is the all new 2013 SL63 AMG! Now, I have realized that Mercedes-AMG's ditching V12s in favor of V8's because why? the V12 BiTurbo engine is not compatible to the AMG MCT SpeedShift. Anyway, it was unveiled at the Mercedes-Benz W03 event where they've launched Benz's Formula One 2012 entry. Guess this one's mouth-watering. Oooh! Can't wait to have one!!!
Anyway, while because of Bandai Entertainment scaling down their businesses and they'll no longer releasing new DVDs this year, we're getting ruined about the second-season of K-ON not coming to North America but fear not because Sentai Filmworks licensed the second season of K-ON, making it a very good news for the North American fans!
If that wasn't enough, word from Mercedes-Benz Japan is that they'll be offering test drives for the Madoka Magica-itasha Smart EV!
They'll be on display at the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival in Tokyo from February 22 to March 4, 2012 and also, Mercedes-Benz Japan allow visitors to test drive those itashas for free (wow!) but you mush have a driver's license and a free Mercedes-Benz Connected Card membership. Also, you must be 20 years old or above to initiate it. Guess we find it better than the Amlux Idolmaster campaign. Ho ho ho ho! So, if you're an otaku having a choice, which one do you want to test drive? A Madoka Magica-itasha Smart EV? Or the Idolm@ster-itasha Toyota Prius and Toyota Ractis Verso? I should have told you that for about 1,000JPY, visitors can have a one hour test drive in either the Prius or the Ractis Verso while listening to the original IDOLM@STER radio program but those must be reserved in advance. I told that before.
Okay, it seems that the Kia Sorento R is planning for a minor change this year as a 2013 Model Year, next-generation Lexus ES snapped in China, you can fit a gun rack at the Chevrolet Volt PHV, singer Adele wins two BRIT Awards and she gives a middle finger when her speech cut short, so on, so forth. I'm getting bored right now and that's the news!
