THE IDOLM@STER2 PS3 Unboxing

So I got THE IDOLM@STER2 First-run Limited Production Edition today for PS3! I was so excited! I would have gotten it the day before yesterday, but I just didn't get home early enough to pick it up from the post office. Anyway, I picked it up yesterday, and there was no stopping me. First, a shot of the box.

The box it came in next to my 360 copy of iM@S2

When I picked it up, it was lighter than I had imagined, and I it seemed a little small to get an A1-sized tapestry in it, but opening up would show my fears to be unfounded. Unpacking it all, I found everything I'd hoped for.

I unrolled the tapestry and the poster to take a look and them, as I had bought the game specifically from Gamers to get them. They are pretty awesome.

I also opened up the foil packet to see what was on my anime film strip. Turns out it's the same as the Gamers postcard I got with the set. I wonder if maybe certain stores actually got certain film strips for the pre-orders rather than them being random.

With the pre-order goods out of the way, I decided to open up the actual game box. With the fact that the Complete Production Limited Edition of the iM@S anime Bluray was inside of that too, it made it so that I was opening boxes of awesome stuff inside boxes of awesome stuff. It was Christmas over and over again!

After going through the stuff in there, and doing things like ripping the Sound Track CD for my music collection, I opened up the Complete Production Limited Edition of the iM@S anime Bluray.

After that, there's one last thing to do, which is take the Bluray out of its digipak casing, and see what's inside.

Finally, after opening all that up, I finally got around to actually starting up the game. As I should have expected on PS3, there was an install sequence.

Once I got it installed though, I didn't actually play the game though, since I would want to have the e-mail address DLC before starting the game, and I did not have the funds to purchase them at this time. I did set up everything else I could though. I then tried some Gravure for You! and interestingly enough, that didn't need an install. I messed with it a little, and I think it'll take a bit before I can stop getting the controls confused. I kept taking pictures when I didn't mean to. I might get to a more detailed review of it later, but for now, I leave you with one of the pictures I took in it. Also, for those who want to see more pictures of the unboxing you can go here.

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...
