UPDATE (January 29, 2010):

Things to do during the concert:

At times during the concert, a heart will be displayed in the upper right quadrant of the screen. When this occurs, use R1 to select either 拍手する (Applaud)  or 応援する (Cheer) , and the heart will grow with the number of people doing this. The heart size will affect the performance.

The following actions cause different things to be displayed depending on idol's items you are wearing. I will list them in the form X/Y/Z where X is what is displayed when wearing Haruka's items, Y is displayed when wearing Chihaya's items, and Z is displayed when wearing Yukiho's items. You can only wear the items if your avatar is male.

Those with the cheering headband on, if you
丁寧なおじぎ (Flourish):
天/如/萩
敬礼する (Salute):
海/月/原
ターン (Spin):
春/千/雪
アビール (Pose):
香/早/歩

Those with the cheering Happi coat on, if you 手を振る (Wave), then an image will be displayed in a circle with a 春 in a Star/Crescent Moon with Stars/Snow Man.

Using any of the sets of 3 glowsticks (red/blue/white), if you
イエイ (Yeah!):
L
ガンポーズ (Guns):
O
指差す (Point):
V
テレる (Shy):
E

If you have on the full cheering goods set, if you
両手を振る (Over Here!):
春香/千早/雪歩
投げキッス (Blow Kiss):
LOVE

UPDATE 2 (February 06, 2010):

For the shows on February 7th, 1AM and 2AM are the last Yukiho shows, while all remaining shows are 765 Production shows. The last show is at 6AM on February 7th! There may be rebroadcasts of the last show, but you won't know when unless you go to the last show, so be sure to go! Remember that all times are in Eastern Standard Time, and to show up to the concert 15 minutes early to be sure it properly loads for you.

FINAL UPDATE (February 07, 2010):

It seems the rebroadcasts of the final show will be at the expected 4PM and 1AM. They were having problems with the amount of people this morning, so it was a two hour delay before the concert got started. Hopefully they won't have that problem for the rebroadcasts. Do be sure to go though, as you get a completely different item than at any of the other concerts, and it's pretty nice. Also, if you hang around a bit after the concert is over, a countdown will start for an Extra Live at the next hour. You need to leave the concert lounge and come back and hope the countdown reappears; if so you're set, and you can sit back and wait for the Extra Live!

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Demo

So just the other day, I tried out the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Demo on my Xbox 360. It was an interesting experience, but I'm not sure I like it a lot. First thing I want to say is that my comparisons will mainly be to Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. I think that's reasonable, considering that was the last game in the series to come out on the Xbox 360. Anyway, there are two modes in the demo, fighter plane mode and attack helicopter mode. I tried plane mode first. There are two control schemes you can choose for plane mode. One is called Standard, and the other one is called Original. Standard is an easier mode where the plane auto-levels in the absence of control inputs, and you simply push the left control stick in the direction you want to go. The rudder is still a separate control though that can be used for yaw adjustments. The demo defaults to this control scheme. Original gives you full control, making the x-axis of the control stick control the plane's roll...

Arcade Stick Artwork

After modding my Mad Catz Fightstick TE recently with the Toodles MC Cthulhu and Imp v2, I started thinking about maybe replacing the artwork on it with custom artwork as well. I put together a quick design with gimp...well, it would have been quick if I could use gimp properly.   Anyway, what do you guys think? Feel free to leave impressions and suggestions in the comments.

11eyes and New Anime

So I just finished watching 11eyes, and overall, it wasn't really that good. I'm still thinking about playing the game though, seeing as how it looks quite different from the anime, I'm going to guess that it is in fact different, and hopefully interesting and engaging. I'm probably going to pick up the Xbox 360 version. I've also watched the first episodes of a few shows this season now, being Ladies verses Butlers, Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu, and Dance in the Vampire Bund. Ladies verses Butlers so far is most definitely a fanservicey show, and Flameheart's incredibly huge drill hair vaguely bothered me initially just by the sheer size. I somewhat got used to it as I watched the episode, but for a short while I was contemplating how much hair you would need to be able to pull off that kind of hair. Nevertheless, it seems like it might be fun to watch, so I'll be keeping up with it for the time being. I like Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu for the fact that it...
