To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP Game)

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
(PSP Game)

Now, after the launch of the To Aru Majutsu no Index video game for the PSP last January 2011, it seems that most To Aru fans love this game but one question is that is there will be a To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game and Kadokawa Games took the answer, well at least so after facing several delays following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster and of course, the Thai flooding since October 2011. The arrival of the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game is definitely a dream come true but this is not what it means to be.

The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game features an all new original adventure for Mikoto Misaka, Kuroko Shirai, Kazari Uiharu, and Ruiko Saten. Unlike the Majutsu no Index game, which is a fighting game, the Kagaku no Railgun PSP game is just a hopeless visual novel game with the "Action Part" that is somewhat similar to games like Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and Need For Speed: The Run, the part where you have to push buttons while on a cutscene.

Of course, being just a pointless visual novel with an original storyline, that part features two modes as the game progresses such as "Girls Talk Mode" where this was focused like some kind of a dating sim game and "Judgement Mode" where players are focusing on choices. Careful though that your choices at Judgement Mode will affect the outcome of the game. Aside from that, you can enjoy the anime cutscenes at the game and this looks cool.

Logically then, it could and it should have been a must have for the Railgun fans but it was somewhat becoming just a pointless visual novel game with various confusing routes.

I wonder what will happened if I have a Railgun PSP save data, an Index PSP save data with Toma Kamijo finished in Story Mode, and an Index PSP game? Could it trigger a bonus story at the Majutsu no Index PSP game?

Keep in mind that the theme song from the Railgun PSP game is "way to answer" by fripSide. Great way to hear this, huh? This maxi single will be on sale this December 14.

LIMITED EDITION:
The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP Game) Limited Edition features not just the game itself but also a special Kuroko Shirai figma made by Good Smile Company's Max Factory division.

Porsche 911 Carrera (Type 991)

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera interior

Forever being the king of European sports cars, the legendary Porsche 911 is became sacred to the brand since the first one came out in 1963. Now, 48 years has passed and after undergoing several model changes, this is it. The much awaited full model change for the king of European sports cars is made to be more stunning, sleek and stylish.

At first glance, the 991 looks the same as the outgoing 997 but take a second look and you'll see all the body panels are new as are the Porsche design DNA carried from the Panamera saloon. In fact, you can see the Porsche label spelled it out at the back. This design really more like an attractive swimming instructor in her racing swimsuit. That looks nice.

Now at the interior, it is well-sculpted and well-refined to meet up with its Porsche design DNA and this exactly looked like the Panamera and the second-generation Cayenne. What's amazing is the new high resolution multi-function screen for the best user-friendly experience. It can be somewhat very essential when it comes to navigation and this is the one that works, well kind of. This looks a lot nicer than the 997's interior that is somewhat "it's cool if you're an 11 year old boy" but it's certainly cool.

Seems that this one is perfect for the road and track because the Porsche 991 remains the same RR (Rear-engine, Rear-wheel-drive) layout that became the epitome of the 911 history for 48 years. At the normal 911 Carrera, it is powered by a 3.4L boxer engine that produces 350PS of power and 390NM of torque. The hardcore 911 Carrera S is powered by 3.8L boxer engine that produces 400PS of power and 440Nm of torque. With the 7-speed PDK is considered to be available, get ready for this because the new Porsche 991 comes with the world's first 7-speed manual transmission! That's right folks, a 7-speed manual transmission. Seven gear stickshift! This is definitely the first of its kind because over the years the maximum gear of a manual transmission is six, which of course we love it, but is there such thing in a world is a 7-speed manual transmission? Here in Porsche, it exists and its exclusive to the 991, providing combined fuel economy of 9,0 Liter/100 km (11.1km/L) at the standard 911 Carrera and 9,5 Liter/100 km (10.5km/L) at the flagship 911 Carrera S. We are very jealous to see this legend equipped with the world's first 7-speed manual.

Available in 14 colors: Schwarz, Indischrot, Carraraweiss, Racinggelb, Basaltschwarz, Aquablau, Platinsilber, Dunkelblau, Anthrazitbraun, Achatgrau, Rubinrot, GT-silber, Cognac, and Limegold.

My comment:
Sacred to the Porsche brand, the new Porsche 991 would become the best Porsche ever built because of its new design, weight loss, and the world's first 7-speed manual transmission. Forever be the king of European sports cars.

The Carrera will be the first 991 model to offer in Europe this month while the 911 Convertible will come next year. Turbo, Targa, 4S, and others may follow soon.

Now all we can do is wait until PGA Cars will bring the new Porsche 991 to arrive in the Philippines soon.

IS (Infinite Stratos) Encore -Koi ni Kogareru Rokujuso-

Infinite Stratos Encore

So, this is it. The OVA of the hit TBS anime series, IS -Infinite Stratos- has arrived and this is going to pack more horsepower than a 2UR-GSE engine and I was thinking that this packs more apexes, twists, and turns. It's like you're sitting inside the IS and going for a wild ride to the Fuji Speedway until your neck's broken.

Grip around the corners of life on this original storyline as our favorite IS girls; Houki, Cecilia, Rin, Charlotte, and Laura doing their normal lifestyles and how it affect the outcome of Ichika. This IS OVA packs with scenes you may foudn out to be somewhat interesting, humorous, captivating, and it will keep you drifting all the way to the very end of this OVA.

After watching the whole OVA, you couldn't work it out at all...

Businesses never looked this big!

Mercedes-Benz Actros

The arrival of the Mercedes-Benz Actros premium-class trucks is just one of the many reasons why CATS Motors, official Mercedes-Benz distributor in the Philippines, want businesses to be this big and wow, this never looked this big for a big corporation. This is the first time, CATS Motors selling Mercedes-Benz trucks to the Philippines because of the growing market that big businesses, usually local freight and hauling companies, are upgrading their trucks.

Available for order at the pricing of 5,200,000 Million Philippine Pesos and delivery time will take three to four months, which looks disappointing.

Guess, we'll have to make through with Japanese commercial trucks while waiting for four months to have big businesses ready with Europe-made commercial trucks for their businesses.

Welcome Back: 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe Sport

The Infiniti IPL G Coupe...almost

The 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe Sport (known by most Japanese as the V36 Nissan Skyline Coupe) returned on Forza Motorsport 4 but with an added surprise for the players. If they have this car and went to the "Aero and Appearance" section of the Upgrade Shop, what they see that they have the option to transform from this into something that resemble like the IPL (Infiniti Performance Line) G Coupe. Now all it needs is the IPL (Infiniti Performance Line) logo which takes some DIY at the "Create Vinyl Group" section under Paint. Now this is "Inspired Performance". This is the way of the Infiniti!

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Volume 19

Recently, my blog's been attacked again by a hacker who left a message "bmw 6 series, f13 coupe commercial song". Oh no, looks like this is happening. Why you car enthusiasts love car commercial songs anyway? This is how you called "Driving Music"?

Speaking of which, initiate another five Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) to shut your mouths!

5) Tarkus Medley by Emerson, Lake & Palmer - as heard on the latest Subaru Impreza G4 Japanese TV Commercial.

4) Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag by Marilyn Manson - as heard on the Citroen DS5 French TV Commercial.

3) Slack Wax - Close to My Fire - as heard on the latest BMW 6-Series Cabrio F13 German TV Commercial

2) Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes - as heard from the 1996 Mitsubishi Legnum Japanese Commercial.

1) Landscape by Every Little Thing - as heard from the 2011 Toyota Isis Japanese commercial starring Every Little Thing

...and that's it. If you attack me, better e-mail me instead of attacking my blog by asking me what's the name of the song on a car commercial...
