Let's Do The News! (March 9, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

2014 Porsche Cayman

RH: Look buddy, I know I love this car because it's a Porsche.

JC: Yeah, I know you like Porsches because you are a sort of idiot who wants to go for an eye-checkup at EO...

(audience laughing)

RH: Ahem, that's a different Porsche. It's not the 911 you often mocked about 911 drivers often going to EO for some regular eye-checkups. What do you think about the Cayman?

JC: Well, although it's a baby Porsche, I'm still not sold to Porsches...

(audience laughing)

RH: Oh, come on...

JC: Anyway, let's do the news!

JM: Yes, indeed, and in addition to the upcoming Nendoroid Houki Shinonono, Good Smile Company announced another Infinite Stratos character to get the Nendoroid treatment. Here it is...

Nendoroid Cecilia Alcott

JC: Oh wait, it's the turn of the British! I know her!

RH: Yeah right, Cecilia Alcott, the British representative of the IS Academy! Guess we got ourselves a Brit!

(audience laughing)

JM: Yes, really, I know Cecilia's British but this upcoming Nendo would be a fit to my collection...

JC: Collection of what? British anime characters that were quintessentially British except they're speaking in Japanese language?

(audience laughing)

JC: By the way, aside from Cecilia, do you know any anime characters that turned out to be Brits?

RH: Uh, let's see, uh...There was Index from the To Aru franchise.

JC: Wait, Index's British?

RH: Yeah, say so in one scene in the anime where she had a British passport and predictably Index Librorum Prohibitorium was undeniably British...

JC: Oh...

(audience laughing)

JC: Who else is British?

RH: Evangeline A.K. McDowell, that vampire from Negima. Ana Coppola from Strawberry Marshmallow...

JC: Then there was Yomiko Readman from ROD. Everyone back in their highschool days should really remember this girl....

RH: Exactly, and then there's Saber from the Fate series who was inspired from the legendary knight from the legend of Camelot.

(ooohhh)

JC: Interesting, perhaps no wonder Bradley James and Colin Morgan got interested over the classic tale of Camelot when they did Merlin back then...

(audience laughing)

JC: Something puzzled me...Could Saber was heavily inspired from King Arthur, which was helped by a wizard named Merlin? Could Colin Morgan favorted Saber because she's more of King Arthur?

(audience laughing)

RH: Who knows, Jezza. Fandoms crossed over... He he he...

(audience laughing)

JC: Oh. Okay, I got some info more about the upcoming DLC for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, a PS3 exclusive title. The first DLC arrives at the PlaystationStore in April 2 for 300 yen and for that DLC comes with additional VR Missions, which features some Dwarf Gekko missions, more Raiden-centered missions, and more that leads up to additional 30 VR missions. Also on the DLC, there's a special weapon called the Hebidamashii...

RH: Hebida...what now?

(audience laughing)

JC: It's a HEBIDAMASHII and it's some kind of special sword that when you equip this DLC weapon...

RH: When you equip it, what happen?

JC: You will hear Snake's voice when you equipped the Hebidamashii.

(audience laughing)

JC: No. I'm not joking. This DLC weapon means it. If you equipped it, you will hear Snake's voice and when you're using this weapon, you'll often hear some Snake dialogues...

RH: Oh...

JC: Sounds convincing but you have to wait until April 2 for this DLC but as a bonus, the first DLC will be offered free of charge from March 14 to April 1st. Again, not joking, Konami mean it because this is a special campaign for Rising players.



(cheers and applause)

JC: Special promotion. As Konami told you, the first DLC is available in April 2 for 300 Japanese Yen but from March 14 to April 1st, it's free of charge so don't miss out this special opportunity!

RH: Yeah! Don't miss out!

JC: So, can we move on?

RH: Yes, really...

JC: Anyway, a brand new Hayate no Gotoku TV anime series is coming next month and as I heard, this rebooted Hayate anime series, which comes with the same staff involved in 2011's Heaven is a Place on Earth movie and 2012's Can't Take my Eyes Off You anime, has a theme song that changes main lead and ending song in each episode.

(huh?)

JM: Interesting. A theme song where in every episode changes the main lead. What's it about?

JC: Well, the theme song of the rebooted series is titled "Cuties," and every episode will follow different characters and a different "route":

Episode 1: Hayate Ayasaki
Episode 2: Nagi Sanzenin
Episode 3: Atene Tennōsu
Episode 4: Isumi Saginomiya & Sakuya Aizawa
Episode 5: Hinagiku Katsura
Episode 6: Izumi Segawa & another character
Episode 7: Ruka Suirenji
Episode 8: Ayumu Nishizawa
Episode 9: Chiharu Harukaze & Kayura Tsurugino
Episode 10: Maria

RH: Oh...Sounds interesting...

JC: I know but it's kinda rubbish to have an anime where an opening song changes vocals every episode...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, let's talk about the UN sanctions against North Korea since last month's nuclear test. I mean, what would a rogue state like North Korea do because the UN approved the new sanctions that target against "the evil Korea"?

(audience laughing)

JM: Well, in my opinion, I was thinking that because of the new UN sanctions, I bet that North Korea is getting more and more unruly until it wants to unleash...um...well, I don't know but I guess we have to prepare for the worst...

JC: Yeah and those unruly North Koreans really getting ahead to kill us all until this country becomes the only one left...

JM: Uh-huh...but I have a sneaking suspicion to asked that the current leader, Kim Jong-Un...

RH: I know. He was been with Dennis Rodman back then when these two are watching a basketball match and I think these two are getting to know each other...Later on, they were getting to become BFFs....

(audience laughing)

JC: Best friends?

RH: That's just a speculation but what Dennis Rodman said to Kim Jong-Un, he needs to open up his heart. I mean come on out here...Sometimes even the most unruly of dictators need to show the good man inside but sadly though, this is a bit complicating...

JC: Yeah, too complicating... Anyway, big news. Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez...died. Natural causes but I think his poor health caused his death. Just wanna say, Rest In Peace, El Presidente...

(cheers and applause)

JC: Anyway, while on the talk about this year's Geneva Motor Show...the cars that grabbed our attention were the LaFerrari, the Lamborghini Veneno, and the McLaren P1. While we're not putting the Veneno on the subject because all three had been sold out let's talk about how does the LaFerrari and the P1 differ because both of these are hybrid engine-wielding supercars.

2014 McLaren P1

2014 Ferrari LaFerrari

JM: Yeah, I know those two were hybrid-engine-wielding supercars that produces combined power output of over 900HP of power but tell you what though, while both of these supercars excel in technology, I have to say that the McLaren P1 is better when it comes to emissions and pricing while the LaFerrari trounced the P1 because of its styling, power, and the Ferrari heritage.

JC: Thing is though, if I have a choice between these two, I'd pic the La Ferrari...

(audience laughing)

RH: What?

JC: La Ferrari! It translates to "The Ferrari" because it IS the Ferrari that ends all Ferraris, especially the Enzo it replaces and its current V12 grand tourer, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. And on that bombshell, that's the news....
