Rave Rider it’s really cool online racing game on atv car, you will see so exciting tracks.

So this is the Craziest Skydiving I’ve ever seen. It makes the people from Nitro Circus look like armatures. I’ll do stuff like this someday.

Essa ideia não é original, você deve saber. Já deve ter visto algum blog/site de algum escritor/escritora que tenha feito isso.

Eu já. E achei interessante. Não que eu me considere uma escritora, pois acho que estou bem longe disso, sou pseudo antes até de ser gente.

Além disso, não tenho a intenção de mostrar aqui o que estou escrevendo, não quero ser estraga-prazeres. Na verdade, não sei nem se esse blog vai passar do primeiro post…. Ah, a negação! Minha vida seria tããão mais fácil sem elas.

Porém, a intenção inicial aqui, até que se prove ao contrário, é compartilhar o processo criativo de escrever. Sei lá isso vai funcionar mas vou tentar. Vou tentar dizendo antes de tudo que: a ideia para Jeannie Nitro nasceu de uma leitura que fiz de um texto de antropologia… pfffffff, bem sério isso.

Lá, no texto que esqueci o nome e idem para o autor dele, se discutia sobre a simultaneidade do mundo imaginado que nos une. Une desconhecidos que sabem da existência um do outro sem nunca terem se visto e provavelmente sem nunca fazê-lo, ou seja, nós.

Como escrever, portanto, uma história com personagens que se unem APENAS pelas coisas do mundo?

Eu sei, é uma ideia louca que tem tudo para dar errado.

CAR

О модели: Унаследовал все “прелести” соплатформенного Chrysler Sebring, но выглядит, как уменьшенная версия Dodge Charger (последнего образца, к сожалению). Скоростные характеристики явно позаимствованы у ледника.
Наш выбор: 2.0 CRD
Секрет фирмы: Модификаций немного. Жалко, что они вообще существуют
Вердикт: Нафиг. Это все, что мы можем сказать.
Конкуренты: Э… к чертям конкурентов, как насчет увеличения налогов на импорт для Dodge?
Результаты тестов : Плохо
Одним словом: Плохо

TOPGEAR

О модели: Поганая машина, которая нафиг не нужна на европейском рынке. Она даже не выглядит симпатично, и недоделанные двигатели ей не помогают в борьбе за покупателя.
Позиция в рейтинге : Нет в рейтинге
Наш выбор: Мы действительно должны что-то выбрать?
Не обманывайся насчет: имени. Эта повозка не имеет ничего общего с культовым телесериалом.
Конкуренты: Ford Mondeo, Honda Accord, VW Passat

WHATCAR

За: Avenger смотрится хорошо и неплохо оборудован с точки зрения систем безопасности. В салоне места навалом для четверых.
Против : С точки зрения комфорта, он ниже всякой критики, особенно это верно для дизельных моделей. Ездит так себе. Качество отделки салона плохое.
Вердикт: Выглядит как никакая другая машина в этом классе. Довольно выгодное предложение с точки зрения цены-качества, но ездит плохо. Имеет смысл выбрать самый дешевый дизельный вариант.
Рейтинг для лучшей модификации: Плохо

О модели: Он дешев, неплохо выглядит и ты никогда не потеряешь его на парковке супермаркета. С другой стороны, препоганые динамические характеристики и интерьер спроектированный главным дизайнером картонной фабрики вряд ли заставит конкурентов не спать по ночам.

О модели: Эта машина может выглядеть как паркетный внедорожник, но на самом деле, это замаскированный семейный хэтчбек. Будем считать, что первая попытка Dodge на британском рынке провалена.
Позиция в рейтинге : Нет в рейтинге
Наш выбор: самый дешевый вариант. Значит, берем 1.8 S
Не обманывайся насчет: мощных колесных арок. Ни ты, ни машина вовсе не так уж и круты.

WHATCAR

За: У Caliber очень выдающийся внешний вид, который сделает его заметным на дороге. Мягкая подвеска делает его довольно комфортным. Дизельные версии резвые.
Против : Автомобиль проигрывает конкурентам в качестве отделки салона, эргономике и управляемости. Салон не очень вместителен несмотря на внушительный

О модели: Приборная доска устарела на столетие. “Интересный” салон включает в себя места для семерых пассажиров и багаж одного из них (драка, мы полагаем, обеспечена, что делает машину интересней). Более интересный дизайн, чем у Chrysler Voyager.

Вердикт: Плох даже для Америки
Конкуренты: Land Rover Freelander
Результаты тестов : Ужасно

TOPGEAR

О модели: Попытка Dodge конкурировать с Land Rover Freelander. Дизайн машины кричит о крутых внедорожных способностях. Вот только по бездорожью она ездить не умеет. А мускулистый вид у нее только снаружи, под капотом что-то дохлое и желеобразное.

WHATCAR

За: “Мускулистый” дизайн придает автомобилю угрюмый и набыченный вид. Внутри достаточно места для четверых пассажиров и их багажа. Уровни стандартного оснащения высоки.
Против : Машина прыгает по дороге, руль ватный. Она сильно кренится на поворотах. Ощущается автомобиль как большой, неповоротливый, старомодный внедорожник. Он медленно разгоняется, а стоимость его на вторичке падает очень быстро.
Вердикт: Старомодный внедорожник, который грубоват, медлителен и некомфортабелен. Несмотря на все это, кто-то его все равно купит.

Need for Speed Nitro, as its name indicates very well, is a racing game mainly based around a simple but effective mechanism and recurrent in the history of the series: the use of nitro tanks to boost its speed briefly. Nothing to do with the Shift episode, much more mature and realistic, Need for Speed Nitro is an arcade game, a real beat’em, more than the previous episodes on Wii. Designed to be playable in every imaginable ways (Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk, Wii Wheel, Classic Controller and GameCube controller), the Nitro was also ensure that any player is able to run without no experience in any other racing game. Thus, we find an extremely accessible game, requiring hardly any briefing except to explain that drifter is giving a little tap on the brakes before you turn in and rob-cons to find the ideal balance.
All this accessibility, the fun side now… It’s nice but it would be better if it did not mask a severe lack of depth and repetition Nitro referring to the state of beta. Indeed, over the five towns that we discover, EA’s game never fails to renew, increase the challenge or at least surprise the player. Five cities (Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, Madrid, Singapore and Dubai) is also five channels but not more… The impression of circling is obvious and takes precedence over everything else, despite efforts to offer courses to the profile and different rules. But here, again, it’s warmed up the already-seen, reviewed, mixed, remixed, invented, reinvented… Races round elimination races, drift, photo radar, against the clock… Only Drag events (for dragsters) leave a little lot, taking in their own way which was introduced in Need for Speed ProStreet. They require a bit more thinking and a real timing to be won since the player must, after making a perfect start, shift gears to a specific time and initiate the nitro neither too early nor too late to comb his opponents at the stake. The principle is well thought out, well the difficulty to the rendezvous, but ultimately it is the best thirty seconds of fun…
So many nitro (two cylinders used in one or more times, it’s your choice) but also some drift. Slips unfortunately rigid and not conducive to the combos that we are asked to do yet for the famous stars are essential to continued progress. The real problem is that the drift has been included in a game that is not developed. Too straight, tracks contain some good chicanes and corners but they are not sufficient and full bodied to highlight the drift. Too bad to say, the police presence should be enough to charm us and make this amount of uncertainty as desired. Nay, the police make an appearance but proved totally harmless.
The disappointment is even greater than the basic bias visual aesthetics and harmonized well with the Wii and the next totally arcade NFS Nitro. Vehicle design and look original and almost veering into caricature, which sets tagguent pattern of your choice during your transition, smooth animation, opportunities for customization of course very limited but the appointment… All of this ruined by a botched content and gameplay without much interest. There remains the multiplayer mode, only locally, which can accommodate up to four brave and scrupulously reproduces the same patterns than solo, simply adding the possibility to participate in the racing team. In this case, it is the points scored by players from both teams to determine the winning pair and the duo lost. Too bad the thing does not reach the Online where we would have expected such races to eight, as against the AI – by Jean-Alexandre

Eero Ettala - Nitro

Sapient Interactive is the largest independent interactive agency in the world.

Sapient Interactive is the type of agency that inspires individuals to keep pressing forward.  They purposefully activate engagement between brands and people on a global scale.  By optimizing the digital space, Sapient drives co-creation and ROI on the web.  In other words, their fingerprints linger around the globe.

This type of progressive behavior is exactly the environment where humans, art and advertising thrive.  One would be miserable working for a business focused solely on their own interests – never offering any real solutions for the world’s problems.  Our world is diverse and our advertising has the power and influence to directly affect many people.  Sapient provides their clients with intelligent solutions to their problems. They work with large brands that change history.

Laura McFarlane, VP/strategy at Sapient

Their willingness to step into the digital space and try new things is noteworthy.  Laura McFarlane, a global strategist for Sapient, said, “If brands show real transparency and authenticity [in the digital space], then consumers are forgiving.”  This company isn’t scared to fail.  With this approach comes immense respect.

Can you imagine McFarlane’s day-to-day?  She’s holds powerful data in her hands with the ability to predict patterns and trends years in advance.  She travels around the world to meet with prominent figures in other countries like an ambassador.  What a thrilling job!

Just like The Long Tail suggests Sapient focuses on co-creation.  Strategy teams find ways for brand enthusiasts to connect with the brands they love through the technologies they’re already using.  McFarlane’s use of “sentiment mapping” is particularly interesting.  She is able to look geographically at social media outlets to map emotions of towns and even entire countries.  Based on a town’s level of happiness brands can interact accordingly.  For example, 57 percent of the town has tweeted that it’s been “a hard day at work.”  Applebee’s digital media can now respond effectively in real time – “We know it’s been a hard day at work, so we’re offering you a $5 savings for dinner tonight.”  This kind of interaction for brands is revolutionary.

The Internet has a powerful and profound effect on the way we live.  Sapient is harnessing that power to provide their clients with real benefits.  They are searching and researching paths that lead to human connection.  They may be doing the unheard-of, but you can bet Sapient will impact your life in the days to come.

Every year it seems there is a new “it” rider in snowboarding who steals the show and everyone showers him with praise and being the “new” somebody. In my mind Eero Ettala has been this guy for damn near a decade. His video parts have always stood out even if he had a season where he got hurt(see Picture This-MackDawgProductions 2005 release) and they are always the type of part you can watch to get hyped on going riding. This past season Mack Dawg was not filming for a release so Eero didn’t know what to do….other than get a TV show travel around the world and collect BANGERS! As always the music for his part is great and there is a solid balance of huge jumps, creative urban features, and pow shots that well…lets just say I need to look at tickets to Mt.Baker(it’s been dumping up there). Enjoy this part  and check out more about Eero’s show at http://www.oakley.com/sports/tracking-eero

get hyped the season is upon us.

Cheers.

The Management.

Just two shots until I find the motivation and equipments to do a proper review. D:

For those of you who remember the extreme high-notes and highfalutin image of heavy metal  vocalist, Jim Gillette, and his Nitro side-show with shred guitarist Michael Angelo Batio, you may be more shocked by his transformation over the years. Witness in the photos here as the slinky anorexic glamster with the highest hair-sprayed ‘do imaginable changed to a bunch of muscles and might, and shaved head and biker goatee.

I guess, it happens.

But for me, the transformation is so extreme, seeing it for the first time was like a freight train coming, for sure.

Wonder if Gillette can still hit those “high-notes.” His wife, the more successful rock star Lita Ford, might be the only one who truly knows.

The two of them will be on Blog Talk Radio’s “Long Live Rock” tonight and will open the phone lines for fans.

Btw, Batio hasn’t really changed. He just looks older. And that hair-sprayed look doesn’t age well.

Foreword

MURAMASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Crap, this is probably what I’m going to shout in my head for a few weeks. I sure as hell like this eroge. Nitro+ 万歳！  Now if they’ll be kind enough to port steins over to the PC…

Story

This eroge has a lot of flashbacks so I’ll be giving more of an overview than a prologue.

In Japan, there are warriors who don on special armors called the Tsurugi, which has special powers hidden in them. The oldest, and most special armors are those who are made by crafters who use their own soul to complete the process.

Japan is controlled by a organisation called Rokuhara, which is monitored by another overseas organisation called the GHQ. Clashes are frequent, but not on a large scale.

In a society like that, there rose a warrior, one who bring destruction and madness to wherever it goes. A silver Tsurugi which appears and disappears when it pleases. People go mad at the very sight of it, warriors fear it’s might and the destruction it breeds. They named it the “Silver Star”.

But all hope is not lost, as there is someone chasing it. A red Tsurugi, one that fights with the Silver Star and vows to kill it. But, he is no hero. He wears a cursed Tsurugi. He kills both people who are good and evil. His pursuit for the Silver Star leaves death at his wake.

This is not a story of heroes.

~END~

This eroge is downright dark. And I mean pitch black.

It has rape, gore, destruction and so on. Especially since the protag kills both people fighting for justice and people fighting for power. It’s not something easy to stomach. As what they said right from the start, “This isn’t a story about a hero”. What’s more, everyone in this eroge has a chance to die at least once. Protag included. Not to mention most of the sub heroines die. Most of them got raped too, one way or the other.

The truth unveils more and more each route. It’s a standard procedure that most successful eroges use and this definitely is done well in Muramasa. The atmosphere for darkness and a huge mystery sticks throughout the whole eroge, making it a pretty tense eroge to read through IMO.

Also comes around the fact that there are the Tsurugi, those robot thingys that are probably catching your attention more than the characters. They aren’t the size of gundams (Hate them) but they’re much more logical in the sense that they’re pretty much human sized, abeit a little bigger. They’re armor, but armor while speaks and have their own opinions. For example, Muramasa doesn’t always agree to what the protag does and shows it in her own way. It makes things so much more interesting than just…. moving a machine.

The whole story focus though is mainly on one thing, the internal struggle that is in the protag. He doesn’t want to kill but he has to, the fact that everyone that get close to him dies and it haunts him day and night. More importantly, he isn’t exactly a great warrior either. Unlike what you may have thought, he’s actually, throughout the story, just a little better than most of the warriors.

There are also some really confusing explanations sometimes during battle explaining about forces and strategy. I gave up after a few seconds as it was so goddamned confusing.

What I liked most though, is the entire world that this story is built around. It’s old Japan, but it’s done in such a way that it’s jaw dropping. I’m not just talking about the art mind you, I mean the entire era difference can be felt throughout the entire eroge. The speech, way of life, actions taken. Not to mention the lords and everything. They’re all literally in the olden ages. Very unique in that sense.

While talking about the speech though, reminds me of something. The speech in this entire eroge is… confusing. As they prefer to say things in a roundabout way rather than just normally, not to mention the language used is deep. It’s probably to show that it’s olden Japan, but heck the words used are fairly different from what is normally used nowadays, which slowed me to a snail’s pace as I deciphered the contents. Seems like it’s not just me though, as I asked a few people.

Actual figure: More than 30 hours to finish the first route.

It’s long in terms of script length and in terms of the way it’s written, it requires a lot more time to understand. Unless you’re 100+ years old and live in Japan then yeah, you’re fine there.

The entire story is also seperated into chapters, with 4/5 chapters as common and then into the route only chapter.

The routes themselves are separated into 3 main parts. Ichijou’s “Heroism” route, Kanae’s “Revenge” route and Muramasa’s true route. There is Chachamaru’s ending too, but it can be considered to be more of a side route than anything. Remember though, that this is Nitro+, therefore an actual happy ending never ever exists. So be prepared. Different routes focus on vastly different things, ranging from politics to chasing the silver star. The variety is a great thing, as opposed to reading the same thing for a few hours.

Personally felt Chachamaru should have gotten more of a route and that they should reveal more of Sayo. And I wanted more Subaru dammit.

The true route would blow your mind. Really.

That said, Soukou Akki Muramasa’s story is definately exceptional when compared to most other eroges. It’s definately something really new and really different.

Characters

What is amazing about this eroge too, is the huge cast. It’s phenominal. What’s more is the fact that all the characters aren’t single-personality characters. Most of them hold many faces.

湊斗 景明 (Minato Kageaki)

Protag. He’s not a very strong person at heart. Still, he’s intelligent and talks in a very polite manner, though a little emotionless. He is extremely honest about things though, he doesn’t mind admitting that he likes pantsu or anything like that. He chases after the Silver star for some reason.

His rage face is hilarious.

村正 (Muramasa)

Kageaki’s Tsurugi. Yes she’s a spider. She is one of the strongest Tsurugi ever made and have one of the most powerful ability. She’s strong enough to go around on her own alone for scout missions. A little on the cold side but not exactly emotionless. Btw, my favourite character in the eroge =D

綾弥 一条 (Ayane Ichijyou)

A student in some school. She’s very caught up with the whole idea of justice and would fight anyone who does things against that. Saved once by Kageaki. She hated Kageaki at first.

I’m not sure if I would consider her a tsundere, but she is damned cute

大鳥 香奈枝 (Ootori Kanae)

She’s the daughter of a famous family. Currently working for GHQ. She smiles all the time and it’s hard to guess what she’s thinking usually. Though her jokes normally get through. For some reason, she’s trying to get close to Kageaki. She plays the double bass (I think) and carries it around sometimes.

If you noticed, she never opens her eyes >_>;

足利 茶々丸 (Ashikaga Chachamaru)

She’s a very bright and childlike character. But she is definitely not what she seems. One of the 4 generals that controls everything running in Rokuhara. She killed her father for the position. She also tries to get close to Kageaki for her own reasons.

She’s really cute =X

I’m too bored to cover all the characters. Just go over to the site and check it out if you want to know more. >_>;

System

Update it to 1.20.

Title screen. As you can see already, there is something really different in this. Yep. Even in the title screen, the text is all vertical. It would be exactly the same for the entire eroge so it’s best if you get used to it (If you’re not used to it that is). Also, they preferred to use 100% japanese text in this eroge, therefore you would find little or no english in the menu. The quick save for instance is ～おりを差す.

The config is a pile of WTF when you first go in. I swear. I went WTF for 10 seconds before trying to decipher the contents as even if I am somewhat used to vertical writing, I’m most definitely not used to vertical configs. The eroge doesn’t have individual voice controls, but that isn’t really needed unless you’re really picky.

Didn’t want to overload your mind so I chose something without too many words. The text box moves around slightly from time to time if there is a CG and it’s blocking the view. Or else it would almost always be in the middle of the screen. Yes, it’s totally vertical. When you couple up advanced Japanese and vertical text, you have a time sink. Anyway, it’s actually a pretty cool way of displaying the text. Not very hard to read once you get used to it too.

There are side buttons on the screen but I never use them. This is the menu when you right click. It has everything, even the shortcut keys needed to access the particular command immediately.

This is something you can check for to see if you’re on the right track. Note that if a girl has a high value, it doesn’t always mean you’ll get into her route. Sometimes she’ll die early on. Therefore this isn’t exactly helpful sometimes.

As I said in the story section, Mura is separated into chapters. Route specific chapters are much better looking >_>;

The high velocity skip system present in Nitro+ eroges. It’s not very fast TBH, but it sure is faster than the normal skip. I wish every eroge had this system >_>;

There is also a section in the specials where it lists all the Tsurugi that appeared in the eroge together with a revolving model. They also stated the stats of the different Tsurugis.

CG and Animation

The CG for this eroge is absolutely awesome. Mood, perspective, coloring, blending, lighting. All of them are near perfect. I can’t really say anything except that the art is exceptional and the fact that is plays a very huge part in the entire eroge, giving it a mysterious dark atmosphere. The action shots were wonderful too, with a nice blend of motion blur and color that makes things so much more interesting.

They made use of the idea of depth of field a lot in the eroge, blurring out backgrounds on closeups. I wouldn’t call their drawings highly detailed, but the blending and coloring just takes your breath away. It’s nothing short of stunning.

There were also HUD designs for some shots where the characters were inside the Tsurugi. What’s nice is that the HUD animates and there are lock-ons on the enemy tsurugi and they animated it to fly to the screen.

What’s the most amazing though, is the 3D models of the Tsurugi. It’s stunning. The amount of work and details into this model must have been phenomenal considering that they’re not only doing one 3D model but many totally different designs of them. It would take me ages to make one…. Maybe not. But still it’s pretty detailed and the textures are stunning. Light matchups with the CGs are wonderful too. Goddamned.

Not that it’s without it’s flaws. There were some with hotspots which was probably from point lights too close to the models itself. Didn’t happen much though so it’s just something small.

There is actually a decent amount of animation in the eroge ranging from movement and scale to some clips which show special powers. Muramasa’s railgun for example was an animated clip. Very nice touch.

Music

Surprisingly, there wasn’t a lot of different tracks in the eroge itself. Still, the quality of the music was good. I wouldn’t call it epic, but it was much more than just decent. There’s also a total of 5 songs used throughout the eroge though most of them are for endings except one which played near the end of the true route.

Again, there MUST, THERE HAD TO BE AN ENGLISH SONG. The pronunciation was so bad that I could’ve been banging my head on the wall and it wouldn’t make a difference. Please, just stick to Japanese. I loved the second song. It’s really calming.

H scenes

There are a total of 10 H scenes in the game where a total of 4 were rape scenes. Most of the characters got 1 scene except a special someone who got the honour of having two.

To be honest, I’ll just tell you to forget the H scenes. It wasn’t really what you could call ero. Because of the nature of the writing, it just… didn’t feel like ero at all. Though Chachamaru’s scene was awesome. As chachamaru is awesome.

The H scenes don’t last either. They end really fast. Well most of them at least.

Last word

So… Just play this. Just do it. It’s going to be worth your time. There isn’t much to say except that. It’s highly satisfying when you finish. That’s one more script writer to look out for. Now all I have to do is wait for the FD.

EDIT: Due to a request I’ll add this in. Remember that it is a Nitro+ title. If you can’t stomach death in every corner, I suggest you skip this title.

It’s one of the figu I really want past years, just be able to get it on yahoo auction by luck. Not quite expensive.

The cross

The joint of this nendo is on the left side, compare to Nendoroid Miku. No face.

Hovering!

After I attached the base, It’s impossible to move her left arm to another position.

ไอพ่นใสๆ มีสี่ชิ้น 1 3 3 1

Verdict:

It’s one of the best nendoroid ever. Few painting error. Nendo collectors might got her already. Do not miss it

Too bad that I can’t swap her face part with Nendo Miku.
