Davis Fan
Hosted by Active Gamers LA at the Hanger Athletic Xchange, the same host and venue for the Tekken 6 Launch Party, Triple Threat will be the largest fighting game tournament we've had in a while. As the image says, each game will have prizes totaling $2200, bringing out some of the best pros the west coast has to offer and the US National Street Fighter IV champion Justin Wong.
While working on the site and watching my routine television shows on the internet video site Hulu, a commercial featuring the different themes of Google's internet browser Chrome popped up. The commercial flashed through around 50 themes including the popular voice synthesizer idol character, Hatsune Miku. Chrome users can download this theme from Chrome's theme homepage here. As an added note, a Good Smile Company theme and K-ON! theme is also available.
The full musical listing for the event is listed below:
As the clock hit nine, the lights began to dim at the House of Blues Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, . Glay members Teru, Takuro, Hisashi, and Jiro walked onto stage, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause. Without any introduction, the band began to play "Great Vacation" and "Yuuwaku" to cheering fans, who threw up their arms in unison with the song.
Day 1: Akihabara Impressions (Japan Trip 2009)
Written by Theodore Mak
Continuing from my previous post, we headed off to Akihabara main street after stopping by Yodobashi. We visited the Taito Game Station and pleasantly impressed how the arcade business is still booming in Japan. First floor is mostly filled with UFO catchers, while the upper floors are devoted to games. As a quick note, most stores in Japan do not allow for photography apart from some larger department stores and company stores like figure makers Kaiyodo and Kotobukiya.
While the Wii may not be the best console for hardcore gamers, it does occasionally have a few surprises here and there. Vanillaware's Muramasa: The Demon Blade is one such surprise. Muramasa is one of the most visually appealing and artistic games and a perfect example of art in entertainment. I had to dust off my Wii just for this game, which is a testament to the lack of hardcore games on the system. Will Muramasa be enough to make the Wii worthwhile for hardcore gamers?
An adult adaptation of K-ON! was release recently by TMA titled Keion!, and oddly enough they recreated the ending credit sequence for the series and at least 15 minutes of other scenes from the series. Check out the videos inside.
Continuing our journey in the land of the rising sun, we couldn’t resist heading off the famed holy land, Akihabara. After a brief stop at bank to exchange more money and the local bakery for some breakfast goods, we ventured off on foot. Took us roughly 15 minutes to reach the eastern edges of Akihabara and realized that most stores do not open until 10AM or 11AM. We went inside the giant department store, Yodobashi (Akiba branch) and was quickly overwhelmed by all the electronics on the first floor. The building itself has about 11 floors of goodies including one floor that sold nothing but video games, model kits, puzzles, and gashapons.
Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy takes place 15 years after the first game, Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis. Much has changed, including the famed Al-Revis Academy's budget. In a desperate attempt to revive the school, Marta Silweste is appointed as Chairman and enacts new policies including accepting nonalchemists. To much applause, the school prospers and at the height of the Chairman's influence, proposes to rid the academy of alchemy classes once and for all.
