J's Chimes: Early Game Commercials

Video games have been constantly evolving and are becoming more realistic than ever. Well, games are getting better and better with the advancement of technology used to produce high quality games in which we play now. But seriously, have you really taken a look back into early generation games back then? Classic games like Rockman to Street Fighter and Mario are some of the many examples of creative games in the past and here's a video clip of the many commercials being broadcast on television in the past to promote their consoles. Consoles like the Nintendo and Sega Genesis are some of the popular entertainment systems of the past. Watching these clips sure brings back memories but sometimes the advertisements are rather funny because such 'powerful' games in which they promote before are not applicable now because of even better consoles like the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 that we are using now...

J's Chimes: Ball Joint Dolls

A Ball Joint Dolls Gathering was organized last Saturday at Vivo City Singapore by the people from SGcafe. A group of people with similar interest for these realistic dolls come together to share and display their dolls to others and taking photos of their 'sons and daughters'. Anyway this is actually the first time for me up close and person with such a hobby and models and they turn out to be rather good. Except the fact that these dolls could cost as much as SGD$2000 a piece depending on its make and quality... And clothes and other accessories are not included by the way... In any case, click here and here to view the photos I've taken and be awed at it's details and beauty.

J's Chimes: Real Models For An Apocalypse

Been playing the Left 4 Dead series? Then here's something you should know. The characters in the part 1 and 2 series of L4D are modeled after real people from around the world... Well, famous people and sorts. Click on the picture to see who's modeled after who and you'd realized that they look almost the same in many sense. So if really an L4D movie coming anytime soon, hopefully they use these people as the real survivors and follow the game in accordance... that would be so cool, except that their voices are different from in the game...

J's Chimes: Fighting Yourself...

In the latest chapter of the Fairy Tail manga, the entire guild is warped to an alternative world where the hero counterparts reside with some of the characters fighting on the dark side. This climatic episode features Erza fighting the evil Erza on this new land and things are going to get heated up with their weapons and armor. (The anime sure is slow so interested fans I recommend you go read the manga as its already pretty far ahead...) Can't wait for the exciting continuation of the manga, and not to mention the anime in which the Fairy Tail mages are up against a moving fortress...

J's Chimes: Where's The Arcade Game?

It's been a long time since I've visited the video game centers and went searching around for any Japanese games that may still be around. Surprisingly the ever so popular game in Japan a few years back titled Otomedius is gone. Seriously the machine is still so new that you can feel it from the controls, the screen to the machine that's so white and clean, it's almost not been used much before. It's a pity though that such games are not appreciated in Singapore. Anyway here's the opening introduction for the game in video game centers and it's on a 800 x 600 resolution screen...


Luckily, an Xbox 360 version of it came on sale last year and immediately bought it online that time at a price of SGD$80+ which shot up to about a hundred because of the increasing value of the US currency. This is a HD resolution of the game and thus the rectangular screen... Relive the game today and it sure brings back memories that time I tried it at the game center. Doubt this game will appear ever again because it's not often been played. I love the Xbox 360 opening intro better than the arcade version....

J's Chimes: You Can't Run From Ecchi-ness...

They are seemingly everywhere in the Japanese Culture be it mangas, games, anime, etc. The fact is that most people of ages 21 and above (Especially those who are not in touch with animes or the culture before...) are the ones that condemned or despise this kinda stuff. Try telling them that these are works or art or that Ecchi stuffs are normally used in a context whereby at many a times creates heartbeating and comedic surprises for anime lovers around. Even the popular series Bleach has a bit of Ecchi-ness so look who's complaining? Anyway there are different levels of Ecchi-ness in such animes and stuff and unless you're talking about hentai, then that's a different caliber altogether. Even though said, it's still sometimes hard to distinguish between Ecchi and Hentai as they basically means much the same in the Japanese context...

J's Chimes: Hideyoshi Fever

Ever since the anime Baka To Test To Shokanjuu aired last season, one of the most talked about character would be Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Classified as a Shota Trap, this guy is certainly an eye-candy for fans around because of the cross-dressings and provocative poses the anime has gone into. Then all of a sudden in the Japan Newtype Anime Magazine, Hideyoshi is ranked as one of the top 10 Male Characters of May at 3rd place right after Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi and Lelouch from Code Geass. With that also brings about new directions for the doujinshi and H industries too featuring him in also another eye-candy situations and adult fantasies... Well, all famous animes get this kinda treatment every now and then because of their popularity... In any case, Baka Test is still a nice anime to watch again because of its comedic genre which will sure to make you laugh 100% all the time.
