Welcome back. Let's continue where we left off...
iM@S ONE FOR ALL
Launched on May 15, 2014, this PS3-exclusive iM@S game, titled The iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL, where, for the first time in the franchise, iM@S OFA gives players a chance to produce all 13 765PRO idols from Haruka Amami to Chihaya Kisaragi, from Ami and Mami Futami to Hibiki Ganaha, from Iori Minase to Yayoi Takatsuki. ONE FOR ALL is now story-focused, meaning the producer, that's you or me, will risk everything to help the idol overcome their personal difficulties and blossom into artists once and for all. The road of becoming a top idol was not easy because it takes an available resource and funds needed to keep them happy and pumped up from rehearsals, auditions, and from a live studio audience desperate for the idols to sing their face off.

The Mythical Pokemon, Diancie
The 719th Pokemon, that is the Jewel Pokemon named Diancie, has been unveiled in preparation for the 2014 Pokemon XY movie titled Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, which was shown in Japanese cinemas since July 19, 2014. Moviegoers in Japan had gotten a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get their own Diancie on Pokemon X or Pokemon Y via Mystery Gift and when Pokemon OR/AS was released on November, they can bring this mythical Pokemon in-game and receive a special Mega Stone essential to mega evolve it into Mega Diancie.
Also part of the movie's premiere is the special limited-time Pikachu Cafe held at Roppongi Hills last Summer.
Invasion of Pikachu at Yokohama Minato Mirai
From August 9 to 17, 2014, the streets of Yokohama Minato Mirai has been taken over by a horde of Pikachus from the Pokemon franchise for a very special event. There has been some fun and games as well as distribution of a special Pikachu nicknamed "ランドマーク" and it's in Level 10. The special event Pikachu learns Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Surf, and Holding Hands. It even comes with the Event Ribbon commemorating this said event.
Yoshi's name is...
Yoshi (日本名：ヨッシー), one of our favorite video game characters and one of Mario's friends who loves to eat just about everything in one gulp...or spitting fire or whatever the heck Yoshi does. Some conspiracist uncovered the long lost full name of Yoshi and that sparked outrage on us, video game geeks, or as I like to prefer, "childhood ruined".
Blake Harris, the author of Console Wars, obtained a highly top-secret document from Nintendo, in the form of a 1993 Nintendo character guide published so employees of licensing companies keep their facts straight. The top-secret document states that Yoshi's full name is "T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas". Aside from Yoshi's full name, that top-secret document also states that Mario's scientific name is "homo nintendonus", which explains a lot, Link almost killed Zelda, and Peach's gown is literally magically clean.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
The year 2014 brought one of the most crazed internet attempts ever done by netizens worldwide. It's called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. What is the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Although it remains shrouded in mystery, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a method to spread awareness towards the ALS disease or Lou Gehrig's Disease, a muscular degenerative disorder that affects the body's muscle neurons, rendering them immobilized, vital organ failure, and possibly fatal.
This challenge pits ordinary people filming themselves while getting spilled by a bucket full of ice cold water. Then, they nominate random people to do it in less than 24 hours or donate to the ALS foundation.
Doctor Who World Tour
To celebrate Season 8 of Doctor Who, featuring Peter Capaldi as The Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara, the BBC initiated a World Tour spanning across a multitude of countries including South Korea, New York, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, and of course United Kingdom (including Wales).
The epic finale of the FPV saga
Ford Australia's high-performance FPV division revealed the epic finale of the FPV saga; the limited edition FPV GT F 351 saloon and the FPV Pursuit Ute. The FPV GT F features the Boss 5.0L supercharged aluminum V8 engine which develops 351kW (471HP) of power output, making this the most powerful engine ever made from Ford Australia. The Pursuit Ute uses the same V8 engine as the GT F but it produces 315kW (422HP) of power. Only 500 of the GT F models will be made as well as 120 Pursuit Utes but still, these are an appropriate grand goodbye to FPV.
...oh would you look at the time. Let's continue some time on Part Five.
