J's Chimes: SOYC Cosplay 2011


Finally managed to skim through the photographs and uploaded it for viewing... Anyway the Start Of Year C ended yesterday and I must say it's a lot better than last year given the fact that it's much bigger and such. Having said that, here are the photographs taken at the event. However do be warned that some of the photographs are of extremely low quality as photobucket resizes the photos even more somehow... Anyway you can view the photos by clicking here or from the tab bar on the right.

J's Chimes: Now You're Playing With Power...


Old advertisements for the classic console game Nintendo sure looks kinda weird and exaggerated thanks to the advancement of technology now. looking back, such commercials are what's cool from before but may look a bit lame for the audiences and customers now that the next generation consoles are dominating the markets. However those are the days where games are of originality and style unlike modern games now that copies one another and targeting what the customers really want and I would believe most of it are action pack games...


Imagine bringing this back to the past... It will surely dominate the classic Nintendo many times over... Trule a big gap in power, graphics and whatever may be for the gameplay....

J's Chimes: Metal Gear Casts...


I didn't know Metal Gear Solid had this much characters in all the episodes until I found this picture drawn by some fans (Click to view a larger picture of it). Are you able to name them all? I didn't really get to play MGS5 and some of its latest series so probably won't be able to.

J's Chimes: Ninja Fails...


A rather new game that's launched some time ago that's receiving some positive feedback all thanks to the comedic scenes in game too. Shogun 2 : Total War is a strategy game which pretty much resembles games like Command And Conquer to Warcraft. Anyhow, some people manage to compile a collection of hilarious Ninja fails for the benefit of us to watch...


Taken from Shogun 2 Total War. Comprises of about all the comedic moments of Ninja fails...


Part 1 of the Shogun series. Complete with extreme fatalities and epic failures...

J's Chimes: Life Size Link


Link from the Legend Of Zelda has been made into a life-size papercraft by someone who has plenty of free time at home... This amazing work which stands just as tall as a person, is very detailed and seems pretty stunning that it's made totally of paper...


A closer inspection reviews that a wire mesh is used to build a frame of link and then later covered with paper. The details goes down to even the hair and the clothes that he's wearing...


Amazingly the armor that Link is wearing is seemingly as detailed as well... Somehow it makes me wonder how it is done...


Looks cool in all directions. Even the sword shed is engraved to detail...

J's Chimes: Cancelations Galore...


With the disaster that struck Japan, it seems like many things will inevitably be canceled from this month on. From products to television programmes that we all loved very much, it is only now that we appreciate them and take it for granted. Some examples are as shown below:

Animes

Yup, it's nerve wrecking to say this but this season's animes are mostly put on hold now due to the disaster. Even the infamous QB is put on hold in tormenting the magical girls...

Food Products

Mad rush for Japanese products can be seen in Japan to stockpile on food supply. Not to mention other neighboring countries like Hong Kong and China are all in a frenzy to purchase all available Japanese products now in bulks. The situation looks pretty dire... Many countries are dependent on Japan for their products so with the shortage of these, high chances that food prices would increase dramatically...

Miscellaneous Products

From Eroge to Mangas, appliances and electronics, seems like they will all be canceled or postponed to a later launch date and such. With such, imports and exports are grim and low... So we might probably have to wait a while for these to return...

Events and Conventions

Even Ishihara's approval for a Tokyo Anime Fair 2011 is inevitably canceled due to this situation. It is without fail that the Anime Contents Expo will see the same fate as TAF2011... Not to mention the other upcoming festivals like cosplays, animes and manga conventions...

Other

It is however unclear that if the Japan Manga Ban would still take effect in a few months time after this unfortunate incident. Hopefully the disaster would be taken highest priority instead of something like this that can help contribute to the economic. Other cancellations would also include flights to Japan. For now, let's hope for the best that Japan could stand up once again once this situation is over...

J's Chimes: Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade


Only just notice that the Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade game is out in the video game centers. However much to my dismay, it cost a whooping $2 for a game... Kinda expensive though so am putting on hold first till it drops or that am prepared to play it...


Lots of posters and ads for this game somehow but it doesn't seem to be popular though... Didn't really see a crowd over there playing this... Perhaps my intuition is right... It is just too expensive...


Darn... I so wanna play this but somehow there's a huge crowd nearby watching other games so am overwhelmed... Especially so when ya have yet to play this game and everyone will watch ya play some crazy shit and lose horribly...


Basically it's kinda the same as Guitar Heroes or Dance Dance revolution or whatever ya might call it where ya try to sync your hits on the screen given... Except that this is given the Vocaloid mix and dance which looks really kinda cool. Ya can even buy the card to save your progress a SGD$7 each. Kinda expensive too if I do say so myself... And I wonder what does it have in stalled...


It has a headphone jack too in the middle so ya could insert your earpiece and hear the songs yourself which is kinda nice for privacy. Perhaps I should try it out soon and start givin some reviews soon... sigh, if only I can on this machine though...

J's Chimes: Cat's Parody Continues...


With the popularity of this Japanese game hitting an all time high... It seems like more artists are creating more parodies of the game cover for both the PS3 and XBOX360 version. I for one loved the cover design too but never did expect that it could very well go out of hand...


First would be a parody replaced by Hellsing characters and stuff but of the same poses as Catherine. Looks good too nonetheless...


Once again, other unknown animation is drawn with the similar poses from the game cover except with a few twists here and there...


The XBOX360 version however has another design though... But that didn't stop parodies from happening once again for this popular game... Even so, I still prefer the PS3 cover design...


Once again Gintama takes the spotlight with Catherine as the model, Gintoki and Hasegawa as the little man in a somewhat birthday suits and clinging helplessly on her skirt... Perhaps this is really something that may make you puke after comparing it with the real deal...

J's Chimes: Catherine Parody...


This puzzle solving genre game titled Catherine had certainly been set sights by artists around to create a parody of it. I had yet to played this game before but from what I'd heard is that the puzzles are certainly difficult as hell and even the most veteran players couldn't very much complete it with ease. Leaving at that, the game cover is used to create something similar with other anime characters...


The very first would be from the anime Gintama where Hasegawa Taizou is being gobbled by Catherine's blossom... Perhaps a bit worse than the Catherine in the game... The cover and design totally resembles the one above except the looks are more hideous...


I totally had no idea what this anime is but it seems like a fan art or something with the exact similar poses but of different characters and name... Perhaps this looks to be the most pleasant of the ones above without a doubt. Who wouldn't want to be cupped in between a girl's blossom? But beware... both Catherines above are demons if ya haven't already know what their characteristics are...

J's Chimes: Touhou Monopoly...


Its bound to happen that the famous board game of all would come into anime customizations with the help of Touhou fan artists. Nicely done I must say and could even be used as a real Monopoly game board... Just simple click on the picture to enlarge and print it out. lol.


Monopoly has certainly come a long way and had most certainly played it when I was a kid. Though the original board looks like this, Monopoly has come into collaboration with many popular titles such as Star Wars to Transformers to create a board game of such. Well whatever the case, the Touhou version kinda looks nice...

J's Chimes: Dead Island


With the success of other zombie or apocalyptic games like Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising to Dead Space, it seems like a new type of survival horror game is in the works somehow. Titled Dead Island, the apocalypse now takes place on an island resort. Not much other details are given though expect that this would be another FPS game.


It is yet unclear when will this game be release but it would be the next best thing in zombie warfare after Left 4 Dead. Hopefully, there would be more reviews on such in the coming days ahead.

J's Chimes: The New Portable NGP


The next generation portable gaming console known as the NGP, will be the next new thing to be released by Sony later this year. As impressive as it is, the NGP comes wih analog joysticks just like the PS3 controller. It is also a bit bigger than the ordinary PSP and features more resolutions that brings about sharper images and gameplay. However, it is been review that such comes with a price...


The NGP does not allow battery changing and is sealed tight just like the Iphone. With its battery life of 4 - 5 hours , many were concern as it does not seemed to last really long as to compared with the 3DS which has an hour more on top of it. That means that for almost every trip out with your handheld gaming console, you'd need to probably charge it frequently and almost daily for that.


However the NGP does come with many new stuff from touch screen gaming and many more.... Perhaps a short video would describe much more than I could say. Whether or not this will take off successfully depends on how Sony is able to convince the public that its well worth it despite the minor issues being address...

J's Chimes: Witch Fail...


One of the funniest Left 4 Dead videos around that will surely make your day. Through the many wacky videos posted in YouTube, this video about the relentless witch won the awards of being the most simple-minded of all. Being so would resulted in a catastrophic end worthy of laughing till you cry...

J's Chimes: Custom Maid 3D Awes...


Apart from Illusion Soft, Eroge company KISS finally debuts a 3D eroge known as Custom Maid 3D. Somehow or rather, it looks similar to the title 3D Custom Girl but with additional modes as seen in the videos below. Trying to get my hands on it for a better review, other than that the graphics are somewhat astounding. What's even better is that you could customise just about anything you'd want. Perhaps a quick video would show you more...


Seems like the characters are completely customizable with this new game, eroges can't get any better than this... Remembered them being pixels and in 2D in the past but things sure change over the years...


My personal favorite would be the dance scene wich is so much like the Idolmaster style kinda game. All eyes will be on this game pretty soon because of it as Idolmaster fans will soon take notice of it soon enough. Gathering more info about this game so stay tune for more...

J's Chimes: PainStation


PainStation was created by two German designers. It’s almost a normal Pong game. But when you lose you don’t just feel the disappointment, you also feel pain. Your left hand is positioned on the Pain Execution Unit. And missing the ball results in different types of pain. You may feel heat, punches or electroshock of varying duration depending where the ball hits. The game ends when one of the players decides that he had enough pain...


A typical design of the PainStation console which is pretty much exaggerated due to its bulky unit just for a pong game... Just when you thought you could get all comfortable wriggling your joystick of your PS3, wait till you try PainStation instead...


I wonder who still wants to play Pong... One fo the most pixellated 2D classic game where you'd prevent the ball from flying out of your court... And when that happens, you get tortured in the process... Not worth it for the pain you'll be experiencing... Perhaps if you are a Sadist or Masochist, this may be something you've been looking for...


The execution unit aren't a pretty sight too... Guess you gonna get burned, electrocuted or beaten up by a machine you will soon come to hate... This game will create riots in a way or another...


And how bad were the wounds...? A little black, bruises and cuts will soon be coming to you soon playing this without fail... So maybe perhaps you might wanna expert this so that you could become a pro in torturing people without the need to do it yourself, but through a friendly little game of Pong...

J's Chimes: The Dead Are Back For More Space...


Once again the popular Survival Horror game titled Dead Space is back with a second installment. More gruesome and intense than ever, Dead Space will surely make you scream and go crazy while fighting for survival. Released on the 25 Jan 2011 this year, Dead Space 2 features both singleplayer and multiplayer mode to fight the monsters known as Necromorphs.


Engineer Isaac Clarke returns in Dead Space 2 for another blood-curdling adventure in the sequel to Dead Space 1. After waking from a coma on a massive space city known as "The Sprawl", the lone survivor of a horrific alien infestation finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling dementia, hunted by the government, and haunted by visions of his dead girlfriend, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate the gruesome onslaught.


The game's pretty cinematic and gives a great and deadly ambiance of the infested station that crawls with the many necromorphs that roamed the place. Not every moment is calm or a safe haven as the second installment releases more terror than ever before, leaving you at the mercy of those flesh ripping monsters. Dead Space 2 currently retails at approximately SGD$58 and above so you might wanna grab a copy because its a recommended game for this year...


Yup, whatever you might see here is the actual footage and gameplay of the game. If you have yet to know what Dead Space is about, there's even a recap mode in the game mode. Or you could even simply purchase Dead Space 1 and play it as it's now a platinum hit which is priced at SGD$39.90 each. You can also visit the website here for more info. Time to survive the horror once again...

J's Chimes: Final Fantasy XIII To Get Part 2


Strangely enough, Final Fantasy XIII is getting a continuation this year as announced by Square Enix. Despite the criticism about the previous game, it seems like they had decided to lay another bet which many fans doubt it would be enough to fully satisfy what they really want. The Final Fantasy Franchise has been wobbly these years due to the fact that the RPG eras have been long gone and FPS have been the hottest in recent years...


Despite all of that, a little introduction video of the new FFXIII-2 is not only visually stunning, but seems kinda fun in some ways or another. However, I would probably wait for the reviews and judgment first before deciding on purchasing anymore Final Fantasy series games...

J's Chimes: Console Gaming


It's been a long time since I've touch my game consoles and would probably be spending some time playing my xbox 360 these days. Bought Final Fantasy 13 just recently so thought of trying it out. Yup, regardless of many bad reviews and stuff, I'd still bought it due to the fact that Final Fantasy had been with me for a long time since childhood. Hopefully it doesn't turn out just as bad as the reviews...

J's Chimes: Have You Bought Your Tickets Yet?


The Singapore Toys, Games And Comics Convention is drawing near and will start on the 10 - 12 Dec 2010. You can get those tickets online at Gatecrash or call their hotline number to order one.

Well, this event only happens yearly so I guess we do not really have a choice... Buy now to avoid disappointment and lining up over at the convention area just to get the tickets for entry...

J's Chimes: Steam Hijack


My Steam account for gaming was hijacked by some hackers yesterday and could not login to it with my password. There have been some circulation of mails in which prompts you to join a Russian group which makes you login to your account upon joining. Surprisingly, you will be directed to a duplicated or mirrored Steam website to cover their tracks. Lesson learnt? If you do have a Steam account, please check with your friends about it and also accept any invitations unless you've confirm their authenticity. This problem is spreading like wildfire in this recent weeks so gamers please be aware of such scams.
