FH3 Blizzard Mountain: Big Ben

Time for another guessing game, am I right? Okay, on the front it looks more like a Bentley, a gentleman's touch of royalty served for the privileged few. Although it can be classified as a sovereign when you look at the Bentley badge at the front, something's different about this Bentley because while the front looks similar to the Continental GT, this car in question is not the Continental GT. In fact, this is the Bentley that differs it from the royal blood. Care to see it?



Holy nachos! Looks like Bentley's not safe on the SUV outbreak that spreads through most carmakers like a flu season in wintertime.



Say hello to the first-ever Bentley Bentayga, the king of luxury SUVs.



While driving Crewe's first sport utility vehicle at the Blizzard Mountain to study its capabilities, let's talk more about the Bentayga. As the first SUV in the Bentley range, the Bentayga is inspired from the EXP 9 F Concept from the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, but compared to the concept car it inspired from, the Bentayga features Continental GT-inspired face at the front and Flying Spur-inspired rear lamps at the back, but despite its differences, the Bentayga's SUV packaging is a feast to be festooned for the privileged few.

Under the hood lies the newly-developed 6.0L W12 TSi engine producing 608PS of power and 900Nm of torque and when mated to an 8-speed gearbox, it does 0-100kph near the five second mark and onwards to 301kph. This power makes the Bentley Bentayga the most powerful luxury SUV ever made. Apart from the W12 engine offered, the Bentayga is offered with Bentley's first diesel engine, in the form of a 4.0L 32-valve V8 diesel engine that delivers the same amount of torque as the W12 engine but it only produces 435PS of power.



While the Bentayga is a hunk of metal made for the high-paying footballers who love to turn on the stadium parking lot with their flashy luxury cars with six-figure pricetags, some would say that the design is pathetically ugly for a Bentley, although the interior is worth redeeming when it was festooned with luxury items that can be somewhat on the same level as a chauffeur-driven car.

Like the Range Rover, the Bentayga feels more classy and posh on the city centers while showing its adventurous character offroad, regardless of the road and weather conditions it faced. Although this is the most powerful SUV ever made, the way it handles got me worried and because of such weight, handling this supersized royalty is like taming a wild horse at a posh academy. This heavyweight body, despite its king-sized power output, is worth of a challenge for me and that gave me the idea to see how much the Bentayga can do while facing extreme icy conditions.





A posh Bentayga fit for the idol princess. Well, not really a princess but with the design inspired by Aikatsu Stars' Hime Shiratori that I just booked in for this car, feels like she's going on a ski holiday with the others, but this is no holiday vacation. Oh no. Because, after extensive improvements to make it well prepared for the filming, the Bentayga is ready to take on Blizzard Mountain like you never seen before. So, with the cameras rolling, it's time to get this show on the road!



It maybe messy during a royal rumble against the heavyweights but looks like the Bentayga became the star of the show while experiencing extreme icy conditions here in Blizzard Mountain. This Bentley ain't no Range Rover, you know, but looks like the ultra-luxurious, ultra-powerful Bentayga made me surprised that it gave me an idea. What idea you may ask? I'm returning back Down Under to compare against three British SUVs in the market and this could be an ideal task for me to do it because I swear I saw something like this before.

This is definitely one thing I'm looking forward to do it later but in the meantime, time to take the Bentayga back home because it's almost tea time and I need to be here before it.

This is quite a surprise but with the return of Cadillac in the field of endurance racing, it didn't took long until the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing DPI V.R driven by Ricky Taylor, Jordan Taylor, Max Angelelli, and former NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon wins the 2017 IMSA Rolex 24 Hours race at the Daytona International Speedway.

The team, after a grueling 24-hour rain-filled chaos in Daytona, won the endurance race and the new DPi race car from Cadillac nailed a one-two finish with the second one, the number 5, driven by the Mustang Sampling Racing placed 2nd while the #90 Riley driven by the VisitFlorida Racing placed 3rd. The #66 Ford Chip Ganassi Racing GT won the GTLM class of the endurance race, #38 Performance Tech Motorsports ORECA FLM09 won the PC class, and the #28 Alegra Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R won the GTD class.

FH3 Blizzard Mountain: A Jaguar SUV? Really?!

Look closely on this pic because at first glance, it does look like a typical Jaguar to you but when I uncover the whole picture, you won't believe what kind of Jaguar is this because this is just more than being your basic Jaguar that you took it on the city centers sunrise to sunset.





Surprised? Betcha didn't know that Jaguar made an SUV for the very first time, questioning every single car enthusiasts thinking that the company that owns both Jaguar and Land Rover realized that these two have gone off the deep end and thus resulted to this; the first ever Jaguar F-Pace, and it's available on Forza Horizon 3's Logitech G Car Pack. But first, I need to go to the Blizzard Mountain to assess this SUV for a more knowledgeable manner.



So, the main question is why did Jaguar made an SUV even though only Land Rovers do so? Is this a conspiracy, I dare say? Or are they just trying to reinvent the lineup to get back on the Germans for reigning the luxury car race? Although the questions remained unanswered until further notice, the F-Pace from Jaguar was carved from the remnants of the C-X17 Concept as seen on the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, Another important example of a concept car turned reality for the motoring public, although a small price to pay to make a vision a reality for all.

Contrary to belief that the F-Pace is basically a Range Rover Evoque in Jaguar's clothing but in reality, it uses the same underbelly as Jaguar's latest saloons in the range such as the XE and the new XF. In general, this crossover behaves like a sport saloon on the road while still delivers SUV credentials that makes it go anywhere, well just about, and it was made for the upperclassmen who goes for important meetings on workdays and then going for some leisure stuff on weekends and holidays such as going for golf, hunting, camping, or anything outdoorsy stuff people with SUVs do most of the time. Didn't they mentioned that Jaguar made a special wristband for owners to act as a carkey to access this car? Pretty clever, huh? Makes conventional car keys obsolete in the near future, I dare say.

For now, the most powerful in the range is the one with the 3.0L Supercharged V6 engine that produces 380PS of power output, almost two hundred less than the Range Rover, but make no mistake that even though the power output is somewhat lacking, it's surprisingly lighter than the Range Rover, making it very sporty to handle through the bends no SUV couldn't imagine of due to the laws of physics.



This Jaguar really puts the sport back to the sports utility vehicle because not only it looks good to look at, it's surprisingly agile and sharp. It behaves like a rear-wheel drive car as I noticed and the more I get used to this Jag, the more promising it deserves. I can really take back about the deep end part and get used to this crossover that handles like a sports saloon while delivering the SUV ruggedness it does, well just about.

Even though I don't see the F-Pace to be a proper offroader as compared to the more expensive Range Rover, I want to treat it rough to see how good as this Jag gets and since I'm in Blizzard Mountain, there are plenty of reasons to play rough with this Jaguar SUV.





Quite a fitting take on such a snowy weather but sorry, you have to see that because a hint of Yokai Watch's Blizzaria on the design is what I've ordered to do it on the F-Pace and being Blizzaria, extreme icy conditions may follow shortly. Get it? Gotta love this supernatural cutie, though, but anyway, with the F-Pace all prepped up for snow duty, time to treat it rough to see how much it can do not just as an SUV but as a Jaguar.



That was the roughest take on the first ever SUV from Jaguar even though no one's pleased with its "childish" special Blizzaria design on it but I can safe to say that the Jaguar F-Pace earned the seal of approval it deserves. Although it may not be as powerful as a Range Rover but its lightweight bodywork can really cut it like a bread knife on the silver platter and its superiority complex really outshines the German crossovers awesomely.

It maybe an SUV but it still has the "art of performance" Jaguar deserves and I am very proud of what this crossover done for me.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

When the first live-action movie adaptation of CAPCOM's hit survival-horror franchise, Biohazard (Resident Evil) came out 15 years ago, fans worldwide have some mixed reactions upon witnessing the first five films from the first one to Retribution back in 2012. Some were pleased, some were thrilled, and some were disgusted that it doesn't feel like it came from the games. In Japan, watching these films made them want to forget about the games it based upon and focus mostly on the films because...let's be honest. It's more fun to live with it rather than play with it. And now, here it is, the final installment of the Resident Evil movies is here and this final hurrah will definitely end the RE films with a bang for a buck.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Action starlet Milla Jovovich reprises her badass role as Alice, the woman who used to work for the Umbrella Corporation turned into a bio-organic weapon in her own right in her bid to eradicate Umbrella in the face of the earth. In this final installment, the battle between the final traces of humanity against Umbrella is on its last legs and Alice returns to where the nightmare began - The Hive in the now derelict Raccoon City. As Umbrella prepares its final strike against the last remaining survivors of the dreaded T-Virus outbreak, how will Alice end the nightmare, even if it means to end herself by any means necessary.

Apart from Jovovich, the film brings back Ali Larter as Claire Redfield, Iain Glen as Dr. Alexander Isaacs, and Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker, as well as introducing Orange is the New Black's Ruby Rose as Abigail, The Night Shift's Eoin Macken as Doc, William Levy as Christian, Fraser James as Michael, and Japanese idol Rola as Cobalt.

All RE films look like they'll be more complicated to watch than any other zombie movies you're familiar with but they're not. They're basically hardcore and it doesn't really matter if you're not a big fan of the Biohazard films because for the non-fans, this film will let them go easy on them but for the longtime fans, this film will hit them with everything they got with familiar elements as seen on the games such as Claire's outfit as seen from Biohazard Revelations 2 as well as the awesome triple-barreled Hydra shotgun that packs a punch in lesser shells. How many references can you see in this final RE film? Not much but see if you care.

What made this film so amazing that Japan got their first dibs on this film last Christmas before the rest of the world grabbed their last hurrah and because it's a hit among Japanese moviegoers, people made them forget about...hmmm...well, you get the idea but not bad for their final hurrah.

It seems ashamed that we wave goodbye to the Resident Evil films with this Final Chapter that is absolutely brilliant but also completely useless.

My rating: 3.8 out of 5.

The Cute Wall (Volume Seventeen)

Now, the moment of truth is time because it's now time to do...THE CUTE WALL!



(applause)

And look what I just got! It's the latest Yokai Watch sold at most toy stores in Japan. Although this is different from past Yokai Watch models, I can still summon one of my favorite Yokais as seen from the show.

Hold on there, shorty. Since when did you like Yokai Watch? I thought you're more of a Pokemon guy but now this?

Yeah. Can't believe this whole Yokai Watch thing is very relatable in real life.

Probably because of misdeeds and troublemakings like everyone else in the world does?

(audience laughing)

Well, honestly yes. That's why I love this show and would you like to see who's on the list today?

After you...

USApyon

Is that...an astronaut?

No. Well, you may call it but truth be told, that cute looking critter in the space suit is definitely a Yokai. It's USApyon.

USApyon?

Yes. See his name here? It's got an American taste to it because USApyon's one of the newly discovered American Yokais.

American Yokais?! You mean there's more than one place in this whole world that has been surrounded by troublemaking Yokais?!

Yeah. Although the USA in USApyon refers to the country of origin, the USA can also referred to "usagi" or bunny. Therefore, he's a rabbit or that's what I think it is.

Hate to break it to you but USApyon's not a rabbit but therefore he was basically a ferret who used to belonged to a renowned scientist before he died and became the Yokai we now known as USApyon. He's the partner of a young girl I don't know who is she but she was named as a certain Inaho Misora.

Yeah. Since this girl possesses the Yokai Watch U Prototype, that makes her an enemy or friend of Keita Amano (Nate Adams) and Jibanyan in the little game of who gets the most Yokai medals. Kinda like (mumbling).

(audience laughing)

Well, now that you get the idea but USApyon does have a clever catchphrase like a few Yokais know about. He keeps saying the "dani" word at the end of the sentence, much like "zura" for Komasan and Komajiro.

Apparently, USApyon likes to say it that way because it's in the character of being a cute Yokai in a space suit. Oh, and would you like to know what else USApyon can do?

Let me guess, can it fight?

I don't know but most say, when USApyon's mad, his helmet's gone in black smoke and red eyes popped up on his helmet. Then he shoots his laser gun!

(Pew! Pew! Pew!)

Aaaahhhh!!! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

That's Vader Mode to you! USApyon Vader Mode!

(Pew! Pew! Pew!)

(Pew! Pew! Pew!)

(Pew! Pew! Pew!)

10 MINUTES LATER

Stop shooting me, USApyon! I'll put you on the CUTE spot and you'll stop shooting me, okay?

(audience laughing, then applause)

Easy for you to say it. I got to say that USApyon really is a cute little space otter that you really don't really want him when he's angry.

I agree. Don't wanna hit by that thing, please.

(audience laughing)

Who do you have next?

Happierre and Dismarelda

Hey! They're...

Happierre and Dismarelda. Anyone who got enspirited by Dismarelda brings them bad vibes but when Happiere's here. He negates Dismarelda's bad vibes and things back to the way things were. Come to think of it, Dismarelda's always in a bad mood while Happierre is always the Yokai with good vibes.

Seems you did some homework here but what puzzles me about Dismarelda is she kinda reminds me of someone.

Someone like...

(static)

WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES...

Anyway, because Dismarelda's giving me some bad vibes, I should sadly put her on NOT CUTE while Happierre can stay in CUTE...because he's cute when he keeps on smiling. I love his smile. Makes me want to stare at his face all day long.

(audience laughing)

Who else?

Tomnyan

Who's this? I thought it was Jibanyan but he isn't. Apparently he's Jibanyan's American cousin.

Yes. He's Jibanyan's American cousin. His name is Tomnyan and...

Would you excuse me for a sec?

Anyway, like I said, he's Jibanyan's American cousin who loves to eat delicious sticks and plays a guitar. He's a cool cat who loves to say his catchphrase "meow" because he's as American as...

(gun cocks)

What are you doing?!

That ugly-looking cat's got to go.

Huh?

That cat's hideous-looking and he has got to go. Stay away.

What are you talking about? Don't tell me...

(bang!)

.....

???

(bang!)

(bang!)

Darn it! What are you you little kitty? This is the most powerful bio countermeasure weapon ever made. How come it doesn't work on Yokais like him?

Looks like your cool looking pistol didn't work on Yokais like Tomnyan, huh? Too bad.

(audience laughing)

Grrr....Gonna get another one.

(audience laughing)

Hmph. Never mind about that, care to tell where to put Tomnyan?

(audience murmuring)

Did I hear cute? Okay then. It's CUTE you go for Tomnyan!

(applause)

KK Brothers

(ooohh)

Are those Komasan and Komajiro's American cousins?!

Yes, you nincompoop. They are the KK Brothers. K. Koma and K. Jiro. They're like Komasan and Komajirou, only American and without the swirls, which is a shame for all of us. But on the bright side, you can still stare at those flaming spiraling bits on their forehead. Ooohh...

Ooohhh...

(ooohh)

They glow just like Komasan and Komajirou's. Makes me want to stare at those flames for longer. Ooohhh....

92 MINUTES LATER...

Anyway, since they're Komasan and Komajirou's American cousins, they shared the same cuteness as the normal counterparts as well as their catchphrases only Little Miss Hanamaru would love.

As in...Zura?!

(audience laughing)

You talk just like them because you love these guys! I knew it!

Yeah. Yeah. I love Komasan, Komajirou, and the KK Brothers as much as Hanamaru Kunikida and I have to say let's put these KK Brothers to the CUTE spot where safe. But I wanna keep on staring on the flames on their forehead.

(audience laughing)

Speaking of which, why is there a bat hiding in the wall?

A bat? No. That's Yokai Hidabat, silly.

Hidabat

He's a shut-in who likes to live inside the closet most of the time and never goes out indefinitely. Which reminds me, are they any other people elsewhere who were shut-ins and hermits?

(audience laughing)

Most people aren't like Hidabat and if anyone got enspirited by Hidabat, they wouldn't leave inside their bedrooms for the rest of their lives.

(audience laughing)

But look at Hidabat. This Yokai looks and sounds so cute. Makes me want to hug Hidabat!

Really? Can you really hug a Yokai?

No. Not really. Getting close to a Yokai is like want to be inspirited by those.

(audience laughing)

Still, I want to place Hidabat on the CUTE spot where safe.

Safer than getting out, I dare say.

(audience laughing)

Manjimutt

(eewww)

Excuse me, who's that...dog-man-dog thingy?

Hey, you never met Manjimutt. He's a weird looking Yokai with some silly jokes to tell.

But he's a dog-man-dog...errr...whatever that is.

(police siren)

Wait, what? Excuse me?

(police chattering)

He broke out of jail? Again? For the thousandth time?!

Wow. He got out of jail more than almost anyone. Probably Nate kept summoning him. That's why.

(audience laughing)

Oh well. Better put him to SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE so he'll won't mind.

I heard that!

(audience laughing)

Got any more of your Yokai friends?! AHHH!

Robonyan

Who's that? A robot?!

Not just a robot. It's Robonyan. The robot cat from the future.

Robot cat from the future? I thought it was Doraemon.

Yeah but sadly Doraemon is so last century so they made a Yokai robot to get that title. So, Robonyan. What to like about Robonyan? Well, he's a can-do all robot that does all things like most robots do. Did I mention that he can make lots of chocobars coming out from his mouth?

Really?

Not just chocobars but he makes food straight from his metallic mouth.

Kind of unsanitary, eh? But no matter. I wish to eat some more mojos from last dinner.

(audience laughing)

He's a robot of many talents. He can become almost anyone using high-resolution 3D imaging because in the future, they don't copy. They become.

(ooohhh)

Hey. You know the worst-case scenario when robots took over the world and kill us all with their lasers and machine guns? Guess what? Did you know that robots can unleash chemical attacks as well?

(audience laughing)

Chemical attacks? Can robots do chemical attacks?

Simple, they release some sort of toxic gas from their butts.

(audience laughing)

Robonyan did farted when he got attacked by some big-butt-faced Yokai named Cheeksqueek. That, ladies and gents, is the future. Robots not only kill us all with their big weapons, they can also do chemical attacks from their butts! Beware!

(audience laughing)

Oh, and one more thing. See this cool looking weapon I got? It looks like it resembles by someone that goes "free wee for everyone".

(audience laughing)

Watch as I'm gonna do to Robonyan!

Whoa!

(ooohhh)

What did you do to Robonyan! Wait, what? Robonyan does like getting pierced by that...weapon?

Don't know. Robonyan says its either defragmentation or disk optimization but whatever that is, this is getting weird for him getting stabbed by the wee wee.

(audience laughing)

Still doing toilet jokes, hiuh? Anyway, enough doing stuff on Robonyan for now because with all his cool stuff and his endless array of gadgets in store for him, that's why I love this robotic Yokai, even though now he's been upgraded to a new and more powerful Robonyan F.

Robonyan F

What are you doing?!!

He looks cute when he got pierced by B3-NK1's weapon. Hey! I got it right about the name! But anyway, best to put him on CUTE because every time he gets pierced by B3-NK1's weapon, the more beautiful it gets.

(audience laughing)

You're sick, man. Sick as parrots.

Excuse me...who's that?!

Oh!

Shogunyan

(cheers and applause)

That's the legendary Yokai Shogunyan!

Legendary Yokai? There is such thing as Legendary Yokais?

What? Legendary Yokais are like Legendary Pokemon that you need to save the game first before getting them? Buddy, this is Yokai Watch. Not Pokemon. And Legendary Yokais require collecting specific Yokais to unlock them. Shogunyan is one of them.

But Shogunyan's like Jibanyan, only more powerful than him with his sword and armor. Wonder what else he can do?

(SLASH!)

Ahh! He's chopping the CUTE WALL! Everybody get out!

(static)

WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES...

Remind me not to bring a Legendary Yokai who likes to cut down everything without knowing.

Sorry about that. It's a shame to bring a Legendary Yokai like Shogunyan.

So, to clean up the mess he made, he should be in SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE. End of discussion.

(audience laughing)

Look. Enough Yokai for now. Let's put something different or we'll end up like this again. I'll be on the bathroom break. Be right back, okay?

Okay. Now, enough about Yokais for later and move on to other stuff because who else to like than Pokemon Sun and Moon's Mimikyu and Mareanie?

Mimikyu

Mareanie

(ooohh)

They're one of my favorite Pokemon to play in Sun and Moon and love their battle styles. Because Mimikyu's Disguise ability is like giving me one free turn of no hit, it gave me the chance to boost its attack power and then deliver a devastating blow. What I like about Mareanie is its Merciless ability that delivers a critical hit on poisoned opponents. Just imagine delivering the Acid Downpour Z-Move on the opponent that was poisoned by the Toxic attack. That's how I like them. They're cool...

(bang!)

(bang!)

Wha...?

What did I tell you about putting bad guys on the wall? Put it on SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE or I'll blow your head off.

Why?

They're Team Rocket stuff. Jessie has a Mimikyu, James has a Mareanie. And these bad guys belong to the SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE spot. Come on. Don't make me do this.

Okay, okay.... Sheesh...

Forza Horizon 3: The Last V12 SUV on Earth

The Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG is definitely the last V12 SUV in the face of planet Earth. Sure, there are a few 12-cylinder SUVs roaring around the badlands like a Yeatsian beast but this is the one and only SUV in its existence to have a V12 engine on it, therefore its an endangered species that's going to face total extinction for many years to come...just a bit.

It has a 6.0L V12 twin-turbo engine mated with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G‑TRONIC automatic transmission system, which is unorthodox for a V12-powered AMG but with the rise of nine-speed gearboxes on the AMG stable, feels like this setup won't be there for long and any hope to see a V12 AMG car with a nine-speed gearbox on it is long gone because AMG won't be making that kind of setup until further notice. 

Cars like the AMG S65, the AMG SL65, and this one are the last of the breeds using this particular setup and while on the subject of The Last V12 SUV on Earth, this Yeatsian beast needs some bucket lists to be filled in before its imminent demise in the not too distant future and yes, we are going to miss this roar of the heavyweight AMG SUV when its gone for good...for a moment in time.

Before this Last V12 SUV on Earth face its untimely fate soon, time to give this heavyweight the moment to shine at the Australian Outback and this will be the moment this G-Wagen will never forget.

Like the last of the Aka-Bo speakers that perished years ago, the age of the V12 SUV will soon be too, although there is a twelve-cylinder SUV out there roaming in style but the engine is different from what the Merc possess and no matter the outcome, it will still be respected elsewhere from petrolheads everywhere as The Last V12 SUV of Earth. It may not be friendly to endangered species, I dare say, but the more I enjoy driving the G65 AMG, the better the experience will be for a mammoth driving like there's no tomorrow.

Thanks for the memories, G65 AMG. I will surely miss your V12 engine in your big body when your gone very soon.
