Reading Tremendous Tractors

In the news section on Series 19 opener of BBC Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson once mentioned "50 Shades of Grey". It was like what in world was that?

Well, it's a wonen's book. Men don't have their own version for that until now cause Jeremy Clarkson found the male equivalent of 50 Shades of Grey. It's totled TREMENDOUS TRACTORS... (laughing)

Oh, I love watching Top Gear because sometimes, it's loaded with some funny materials only Jeremy, Richard, and James could think of...

Guess I should read it. Who knows, I'm gonna read Tremendous Tractors like Richard Hammond's... He he he....

Those guys who've enjoyed Top Gear might as well find this book...

Two endings on the same day

In case you haven't heard of it, two TV dramas from ABS-CBN, Princess and I and Kahit Puso'y Masugatan, ended on the same day. Whoa, what a combo but which ending should I start with? Oh yes!

Let's start with Princess and I...

In order for Mikay or Princess Aria (Kathryn Bernardo) to save her kingdom, her father King Anan (Albert Martinez), Gino (Daniel Padilla), and the kingdom of Yangdon from the crutches of Ashi Behati (Gretchen Baretto), who dethroned King Anan and took over Yangdon as revenge, she made a sacrifice and the sacrifice is...to marry Jao (Enrique Gil) but the question is, is that a necessary sacrifice to save Yangdon?

After learning King Anan's fatal conditions, we've discovered what are the true intentions of why Ashi Behati took over Yangdon and it's because of the revenge made for exiling both her and Jao. You may recall that from previous episodes.

When Gino talked to Jao about the reason why Mikay chose to bring back peace to Yangdon, we also saw Ashi Behati injecting some sort of poison to King Anan and later, Jao approached Mikay at the refugee camp to explain everything.

At the fateful day, at the royal wedding of Mikay and Jao, Jao interrupted the wedding and hey, Mikay's right. Maybe two worlds need to resolve this conflict and peace is what Yangdon needs. Because of what Jao said, Ashi Behati became furious about that very decision. Ashi Behati's going to kill Mikay but Jao sacrificed himself to save Mikay.

Moments later, peace has regained to Yangdon and the east and west are now together as one while Ashi Behati's imprisoned for the rest of her life. The happy ending is when Mikay and Gino finally together as Princess Aria and Dasho Yuan, two years later...

That ends the story of Princess and I...

Okay so how about the ending of Kahit Puso'y Masugatan?

On the finale, Rafael (Jake Cuenca) died after being shot by the police and Veronica (Andi Eigenmann) finally turned herself in to the police for the kidnapping of Miggy, the child of Andrea (Iza Calzado). Sorry if the description seems to be short but this might be enough to explain what is the ending of Kahit Puso'y Masugatan. After all, it all ends when Andrea visited the prison to see Veronica and, well, it's all's fair as siblings. Andrea tries to make Veronica forget all of the bad things caused to her and that's the end of the story.

I do hope you've enjoyed both of these endings as seen yesterday...

Hayate the combat butler CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU Original Soundtrack

Hayate the combat butler CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OF YOU
Original Soundtrack

After two seasons from 2007 and 2009, a Taiwanese TV drama on 2011, and a feature-length film on the same year, it seems that the venerable Hayate no Gotoku story is like playing a game of "last hit" and in 2012, the whole Hayate no Gotoku franchise really know that when a game of "last hit" gets serious, it keeps tagging and tagging and tagging until it's finished. Hayate the combat butler CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU is worth an attempt for doing that purpose.

This is a completely different story, not related to the past two seasons, but Kenjiro Hata was responsible for this original content offered on this series. Despite the author taking showrunner duties for CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU, it's still kinda old-fashioned though, even when the staff re-employed the animation studio responsible for HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH movie. With returning characters, especially Ruka Suirenji, there has been new additions to the series such as the enigmatic Ruri Tsugumi. From Tokyo to Las Vegas, you're not escaping the fact that the whole 12-episode anime series is "last hit" best served cold.

However, if some of you got tantalized over the background music as heard on the series, fear not because there's an OST for that. This OST is jam-packed with 42 tracks, while most of the BGM's scored by Wataru Maeguchi, who was responsible for the music score from the movie, you can also expect TV-sized versions of the series' opening and closing theme and as a bonus, the final episode version of the song "Here I Am, Here We Are" was on that track as well.

Well, let's not be clever shall we because most of you will be out there searching for this CD on the net but as a general rule, here's the order link:

Dream Club Complete Edipyon and Dream Club Zero Special Edipyon

If you like THE IDOLM@STER, this game that I'm going to feature today will not going to please you though because back in 2009, there's this game produced by D3P called Dream Club. It's all about the host club, and then once you're here, you are free to entertain, or be entertained, by the hostesses of Dream Club and yes really, you might be hearing the songs coming out from the hostesses as well at the stage. You really can't imagine where did they get that idea from but who knows, it seems that D3P really took the pages from Namco's books, which is cute girls doing entertainment for your pleasure.

Listen though, this game was launched in the XBOX 360 in 2009 and then it spawned several games to this franchise, including a mahjong game that seems to be too complicating to play unless you are mingled by the hostesses.

With fans of the Dream Club demanding that Dream Club needs to be on the PS3, it seems that the demand has been fulfilled by bringing two DC games, from the first one to Dream Club ZERO prequel, for the first time on the PS3 with some updated features you won't find it in the Xbox 360 version. Let's start with Dream Club Complete Edipyon.

Dream Club Complete Edipyon

Weird, they called it Edipyon and that's how a stupid way to say "edition" but never mind about that. For the improved version of the first game available for the first time on the PS3, you'll expect the same gameplay from the original XBOX 360 version but with added features from DC Zero, meaning that the mini-games from Dream Club Zero you love such as sticking a banana to the hostess' mouth will be there and this goes in the name of extended hours of gameplay. Also new on this Complete Edipyon is some new outfits that you can personalize your favorite host girls. Yes, I know...

Something tells me that here that when you are growing the affinity between you and the host girl of your choice, you might be able to reveal their profiles. At start, the hostesses' info came up empty. You won't even know who are their real names, their birthdates, anything but as long as you keep on playing with the hostess of your choice, their bios will slowly appear and you know it.

The gameplay of this improved version of the first Dream Club game really looks better on the PS3 console, in fact, this is what D3P should have done in the first place. You'll spend hours and hours and hours playing the Complete Edipyon until you got bored but still, you'll never get bored easily toying around with the hostesses until you're starting to getting to know them. Good point for D3P there...

Dream Club Zero Special Edipyon

Some of you may say you have already tried the Dream Club Zero Portable on your PSVita but that alone might not be enough because what it needs is something on the big scale, well, there's a PS3 version for that. Dream Club Zero Special Edition is somewhat an interesting choice. It maybe just a prequel to the first game but with tons of new characters and new features especially the part where you can date with two host girls, you'll might be interested to this over to the first game and because of its DLC offered, you have a lot of choices to make yourselves comfortable...and addicted to the Dream Club franchise.

Both of these improved versions of two Dream Club games developed specifically for the PS3 might sounds juicy enough for those who said "Aha!" but sadly though, I don't really like it. It's too cheesy, it's too cheeky, and this is not quite an alternative to your ever-loving idol simulation game you once played and loved. The gameplay maybe good but sadly, some parts of the game really made you say "wait a minute, those things are from iM@S, how did they got it?".

There's no need to ask how because if you're not interested in idols, why not hostesses? There's nothing bad about asking what's the point of it but both of these PS3 versions really tickles your fancies unless you may dump idols in favor of hostesses.

Mexican Spring break

On an all new Top Gear, the US version, the boys drove their "college cars" on the trip to San Felipe, Mexico. Tanner has an Eagle Talon (which is an Americanized Mitsubishi Eclipse), Adam drove a Cadillac Brougham, and Rut drives a rear-engine VW Bus.

American car football, mariachi band, luchadors, quincenera, offroad, car pinata, well that's how the trip gets interesting...

After a game of car pinata that ruined Rut's bus, it seems that Tanner and Adam crossed the San Felipe beach, turns out it's a bit quiet than the usual...

...right until the last challenge when Paragliding Eagle crash landed and exploded Cadillac at the beach makes it more than you can say "massive failure" is Spanish...

Maybe a bit massive failure but that's a good trip for the college cars...
