J's Chimes: Crafting The Star...

A hectic day for me as yesterday was the launch of the game that many had waited 12 years for it... Fans of Starcraft 2 started queuing up for the launch as early as 7am in the morning just to be the first to grab a copy of it. The queue stretched all the way outside of the Funan IT Mall in Singapore to as far as the neighboring shopping centers.


Took me 4 hours just to be able to get into the mall and see the booth they've setup in the atrium. They held a couple of matches on stage and lucky draw giveaways which included Razor gitf packs and Steelseries gift packs... The queue is still as crazy inside as they began watching and cheering for the matches.


Finally it's my turn to grab my copy at the counter. So really excited about this. It's been 5 hours since the start of queuing and now I've really got it. The pacage includes the box set with the game inside, a dog tag, a T-shirt and some miscellaneous advert stuff. Ran to another queue to take the lead writer's autograph and photos just after that.


Took a photograph with the lead writer; Brian Kindregan of Starcraft 2 who came down all the way from the US just to sign out autographs and stuff... He's really kind and friendly to approach. It's just so cool to have a photo with him...


Finally it's the announcement of the grand prize draw which includes a trip for 2 to Blizzcon California with return tickets and accommodation. Some lucky winner got it and is up on stage to receive the prize... Darn, I envy him... In any case that's the end of the launch of Starcraft 2, now playing the game like there's no tomorrow...

J's Chimes: Love Power For Love Plus Fans

With the launch of the new arcade game in Japan known as Love Plus, tons of dedicated fans rushed to play the game in Akihabara. Here's a video clip of the advertisements and posters about the game that's available in the Videogame Center, with different card designs and such to delight fans of Love Plus. Amazingly there's even a queue for people to play the game too just like how you'd line up while buying lottery tickets and such... Wonder what happens if someone continues to insert tokens and play all day long...


And here's another video showing parts of the gameplay of the Love Plus Arcade Version. Seriously, it takes in 3 hundred yen coins just to start up the game... (Approximately SGD$4.50). That's quite an amount for a game that only last about 5min... Don't know how the game will end or prompt you to insert coins to continue but it seems that if ya do failed a mini-game, it's game over... Anyway this is kinda interesting from the video clip and definitely you won't get this in Singapore...

J's Chimes: Love Plus Arcade Version

Just when ya thought Love Plus can't sink ronery people any longer, here comes the arcade version of the game. Having launched as a DS game that critics and the media dubbed it as a 'game which will endanger the country's population and induces more divorce and addiction', it is no wonder such is under much criticism and relationship problems as time passes on. Konami; the creator of Love Plus, is planning to launch the arcade version at videogame centers in Akihabara for a test run first before promoting it to other parts of the world 'when the need arises'. I believe many ronery people will seek more attention through these screens and wouldn't mind inserting coins just to continue this relationship gaming for time to come... Perhaps next time someone would wanna marry to it and buy the entire arcade set too?

J's Chimes: Railway Maze

The fact that Japan requires such an extensive railway network is because of the sheer size of the country. Of course if ya really do not do your homework, traveling is really a confusing thing as you do not know what railway services to board and so on to reach your destination... Speaking of Japan, Singapore's railway system will soon be just as extensive as this as shown below...


What really amazes me is that though Singapore is really a small island, such an extensive railway network is being setup to facilitate movement of the people from one place to another. Some of which aren't seen or being contructed as of yet as they are on the planning phase for the future ahead. But somehow or rather, it seems that almost the whole island is connected together with the Central Business District as the Main Interchange Area. Looking forward to more of such improvements in transport so that we can travel for one end to another with ease...

J's Chimes: Scanlation War Is Now...

With copyrighted laws set into full motion, manga publishing companies have finally made their move in stopping the release of Scanlations on websites. After much debates, it seems like scanlation websites are now slowly removing manga contents due to the fact that they are issued warnings of illegal publishing of licensed mangas. So it also means that in months to come ahead, popular mangas like Bleach to Claymore will soon be gone... Have been reading mangas through scanlations ever since high school because it does not 'Costs' any money except the Internet and Electricity charges. Mangas cost a lot more nowadays and occupies lots of space in the house so it is not feasible for me to be buying and storing them after reading. The fact that scanlations will be gone truly saddens me, however such is the law and there's nothing that we as readers can do anything about it. Let's just wait and see what happens next...
