Quiz Magic Academy VIII Original Soundtrack

Quiz Magic Academy VIII Original Soundtrack

The Quiz Magic Academy series can be somewhat known to be Konami's twist between adventure and some "Trivial Pursuit" style questions and answers most arcade players would love to take part of but Quiz Magic Academy VIII, the eight installment of the Quiz Magic Academy arcade games, is much more different from the previous seven installments. The addicting arcade game that leaves players had fun with the blend of adventure games and Trivial Pursuit just got even more better. The multiple choices, the fill in the blanks, the true or false, the guessing, you wouldn't believe that Konami's take on Trivial Pursuit just got all grown up. The whole Battle of the Brains will never be the same...

The original soundtrack of Quiz Magic Academy VIII is here and listening to this will relieve the whole Battle of the Brains experience felt from playing the Quiz Magic Academy VIII arcade game. It features 40 memorable BGMs perfect enough to remember back the moments of playing this arcade game. Consider yourself a Mind Master when you listen to the original soundtrack from QMA VIII.

The QMA8 OST is available exclusively at Konamistyle. Good luck finding this, mind masters! Looks like the Battle of the Brains has just begun...

One last upgrade for 911 GT3 Cup

2012 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup


Before the next generation Porsche 911 (991) arrives next month in Frankfurt, the premiere German sportscar maker upgraded the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup for one last time!

Press Release:

Most successful race car now suitable for wider range of motorsport

Stuttgart. It is the most successful race car on earth: The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. With over 2,200 units sold, it is the undisputed number one amongst customer racing teams all over the world. Now, the new 911 GT3 Cup features a 100-litre FT3 safety fuel tank, which is filled via an opening in the front bonnet. Compared to its predecessor, the vehicle is now suitable for an even wider range of endurance racing. Moreover, the new fuel tank contributes to a further improvement of the high safety standards.

The 2012-spec Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is based on the lightweight 911 GT3 RS (997) street sports car. The power unit is largely identical to the production engine of the 911 GT3 RS with the same output of 450 bhp and the same maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm. A race exhaust system with a controlled catalytic converter keeps emissions to a minimum.

The flared wheel arches at the front axle accommodate light alloy rims measuring 9.5Jx18 with 25/64-18 Michelin race tyres. The light alloy rims at the rear measure 12Jx18 with 30/68-18 tyres. Depending on the type of racing, the new 911 GT3 Cup features different rim specifications. The blade-type anti-roll bars at the front and rear are adjustable in seven positions allowing an extremely precise set-up for each race track. Exclusive to the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup which runs as support to Formula 1 is the PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake. This is also available for Porsche's road models. Compared to the composite cast brakes in the Carrera Cups and the GT3 Cup Challenges, PCCB reduces the weight of the car by around 20 kilograms.

The cockpit of the new 911 GT3 Cup caters for the needs of the driver. The controls for the info display are positioned on the steering wheel which houses six switches. As in the production car, the reach and height of the steering wheel can be adjusted.

The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will be delivered to teams around the world from September and will be run in this specification for the 2012 and 2013 race seasons in selected one-make cup series. The price is 161,750 Euro plus value-added tax of the respective countries.

Currently, the 911 GT3 Cup competes in 19 Porsche brand trophy series worldwide. Moreover, it is run in various GT race series and at long distance events. The 911 GT3 Cup is the basis model of Porsche's racing vehicle range. Additionally, Porsche Motorsport offers the 911 GT3 R for championships complying with GT3 regulations and the 911 GT3 RSR built according to GT2 rules.

My verdict: The upgraded 2012-spec Porsche 911 GT3 Cup was made to be the ultimate right before its demise that makes way to the 991 Porshce 911, soon to be unveiled in Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Like the previous one, the 911 GT3 Cup is for racetrack purposes only and its not for city driving, which is bad news. For those who are playing Forza Motorsport 3, time for you to go to the drawing board and replicate this! I'll see if they have one in their storefronts!

Showdown in Japan: Nissan GT-R R35 vs. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

NISSAN GT-R vs CHEVY CORVETTE ZR1
Battle in Japan


Both the Nissan GT-R R35 and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 are speed kings in the automotive industry and they are fierce rivals at the ring.

Japanese motoring journalist, Manabu Kawaguchi (河口まなぶ), made a comparison against these two rivals via his official Youtube account and for the September 2011 issue of XaCAR magazine, available now. This battle will be called "NISSAN GT-R vs CHEVY CORVETTE ZR1 Battle in Japan" and for Kawaguchi-san, he's not comparing which one is the fastest. He's comparing which one is fuel efficient.



At the end, the Nissan GT-R R35 wins the fight! The Nissan GT-R's fuel economy is 10.8km/L while the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is 10.4km/L. Now that's a .4km/L gap! Godzilla snags the prize!

Ang Alamat Ng Pigsa

What makes a pigsa? One old granny on Banana Split told us about "Ang Alamat Ng Pigsa". Actually, she'll meant to say Alamat ng Pinya but changed it to pigsa in the spirit of gagging.

ANG ALAMAT NG PIGSA:

One day, there was a little girl who can't see what she's looking for. When her mother asked her for chores, she said that she didn't because she can't see until her mother got scolded for not using her eyes. Later, a fairy appeared and punished the little girl with magic. Then later, the mother tries to look her daughter until she felt something painful that she didn't realize that her daughter became her PIGSA!

ANG TV PATROL TEXT JOKE:
Dok: Grabe, ang laki laki ng bibig mo! Grabe, ang laki laki ng bibig mo!
Lalaki: Dok naman! Inuulit mo ng dalwang beses!
Dok: Hindi ko inuulit ng dalawang beses! Echo yun! Echo yun!

HORO-SCOOP WITH ZENAIDA SEBO (JOBERT AUSTRIA):
Aries - Mamalasin ka ngayon dahil ipinagpalit mo ako sa ibang babaeng Aries. Walang hiya ka!

Wala akong tip! Bad trip ako!

Getting to know more about CT

Hello there, it's me! Now, I've visited Lexus of Bellevue to check out more about the all new Lexus CT 200h, the Japanese luxury brand's first 5-door hybrid hatchback that shows the darker side of green.


What they have here is the base model. Expect no remote touch, no flip-up monitor, nothing. Except for the USB connectivity! Now, let's think about this front view. At first glance, the front view will take a bold new step on Lexus' L-Finesse design philosophy. The CT200h is designed to be more European.


The side view is pretty much more elegant if you asked me.


The rear view looks sophisticated


The real action takes place on the interior. The seats are far too comfortable if you asked me.


This is the audio system.


Time to turn this on and let's get the party started!


This is how a tachometer looks like.


This is how a tachometer looks like when placed to Sport Mode.


Selecting which mode depends on road conditions. If you're up for some fuel economy, switch to Eco Mode. If you're up for some piece of action, switch to Sport Mode. The EV mode switches on the 60kW electric motor engine only for some low emission driving. Needless to say, the Lexus CT200h is one heck of the overpriced Prius but not in that way because of the Drive Mode Select. Eco Mode for fuel economy and Sport Mode for performance. Hybrid owners, consider yourselves doomed.
