PSP Slim

Hi there recently i just got my PSP Slim! Wanted to choose the Piano Black one but the console shop ran out of stock and i ended up getting myself a Felicia Blue version!



One of the reason I want to get a PSP was because of its powerful multimedia function, games on PSP are on the second! I also got an AV cable for playing movie on my TV, and you must also get one if you own a PSP, the video out image is quite good and is comparable to some VCD quality!


Felicia Blue doesn't look too bad!

Although the Sony official firmware 3.72 was already available but I got myself the CFW 3.71 M33-3 running on mine PSP slim. And i ran into some problem when remote play my PS3! Seems like the PS3 firmware 2.00 and above required the PSP to update itself to the latest firmware!


Watching Minamike on PSP Slim

Ok now i am experimenting how to used my PC as a media server and stream the video to my PS3 then from the PS3 to PSP using the remote play function on PSP! I will post a guide on how to do so later!

PS3 Sixaxis Dual Shock 3 Controller

Ok finally got my hand on the Dual Shock 3 controller, nothing special about the look just similar to the original sixaxis controller, the only difference is the weight! It is much more heavier and kinds of feel like the old PS2 controller!



Look the same as the sixaxis controller


Only difference is an additional Dual Shock 3 word printed on the controller


Now you can set the rumble function by pressing the PS3 button and selecting the Controller Setting

I tried it out with Ratchet & Clank (R&C) and Heavenly Sword (HS). R&C was the first PS3 game that has the rumble feature in it so no software update were required to feel the effect, and I did feel some rumbling on the controller.

However for the HS, sadly there is still no software update yet currently so we have to still play the game rumbleless......

One comment I would like to give is, Sony is damn stingy selling you a controller which cost so much but they cant even afford to give you an additional USB cable for charging your controller! WTF! How much could a USB cable cost you SONY!

MG Destiny Extreme Blast Mode

I have just got mine own MG Destiny Extreme Blast Mode (EBM) yesterday. The box isn't that big for the price it has!



I believe a lot of ppl out there has already got the kit or at least seen what are the stuff included in the EBM package........

The runner of this kit now follows the way of the Turn A which is having the alphabet of the runner carve into the runner instead of the traditional one! So you ppl who has a AB may use those alphabet to do some effect on ur kit!


About the silver coated part, it is like the Strike Freedom, not all inner frame are coated only the joints are coated, but those inner frame that are not coated are so well done and the color are so matching it gives a bit of metallic effect.



The wings of light, Bandai used a new technology on this part. The wings may change color due to the lighting effect. There are also all those additional see through plastic looking parts that serve as weapon effect included in this package!



Overall i would said that this kit is more worth the price than the crazily overprice Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode!

Macross F

This is kinda sudden! But I posted it here as soon as possible to let all those Macross Fan out there to know! The new sequel after Macross Zero is arriving! Macross F!

There is a trailer on the Macross official site! Here one I took from youtube!



From the trailer seems like we gonna get more triangle love story, alien bugs and lots of missile! Three main character has been announce Ranka Lee, Alto Saotome (pilot trainee), and Sheryl Nome! Is it gonna be a 2 female 1 male love story like macross traditional? But one things is for sure there is gonna be a lot of singing!

The anime is plan for airing next year! I just wonder what will happen if this anime clash with Gundam OO? This is a must watch for all anime lovers!

Sarawak Kuching

Recently really busy! Cant even find the time to update my blog! I went to Sarawak's Kuching (for those that dunno where it is, it is on the Borneo Island) on a business trip.




Kuching is a city in Sarawak, and the mascot of the city itself is kucing (Cat in Malay Laguage) which sound similar to Kuching! After living most of my life in West Malaysia I find it really relax and enjoyable there! It let u feel like your in natural again, they are so many trees around, ppl here seems so joyful and relax, and it has so many types of races living together peacefully.

I been there for 3 days, didn't really have the time to walk around, been traveling and eating non-stop so hardly get to visit all those great places like Niah Caves and othes, but the scenery on road are just so beautiful.....the food there are also very nice......

If u want to come and visit Sarawak, you must be the type of ppl that like nature a lot and especially tropical rain forest lover!

Did not had time to take much picture, here are some pic i took during the trip and yah not much to see beside having large river and green green trees along it!



Thinking of living there in Sarawak, but heard from some of my friends there that it is really really hard to get gundam kits and modeling accessories there! Ahh wat a big draw back, but i think u can still get your stuff through the internet!

SRW 1/144 Wildwurger and 1/100 Alteisen

Lately really busy playing Team Fortress 2, been playing the game on every single free time that i had! Finally i manage to control myself from playing it! Darn the game is addictive!

Ok I think most of you should had already knew about the news of the upcoming SRW kits! Yeah the Wildwulger Armor Off version (release last month) and the SRW fans must get kit 1/100 Alteisen!

Wildwulger first appearance in SRW Alpha 2! This mecha teams up with Wildfalken to deliver a super combo! Anyway the armor off version looks way better than the armor on one! Picture below taken from the Kotobukiya Official site



Next stop Alteisen! Alteisen was first release in a 1/144 kit and was one of the earliest SRW kit being release the fifth SRW kit! It was also one of the mecha that made the most appearance in SRW game as the main character! First appearance was in SRW Compact 2, follow by SRW Impact, SRW Original Generation series on GBA and then on the SRW Original Generation on PS2! So this mecha is just famous!




So as the usual SRW 1/100 kit practice we will be getting a Kyosuke figure along! What i like about Kotobukiya kits are they are very generous and paints the figure that come along the kit! Something you won't get to see in Bandai kits!

Alteisen fever is not over yet! They is gonna be a Alteisen Nacth, a blue color Alteisen with a Shishioh Blade!



But i think beside recoloring the kit and giving it with an extra Shishioh Blade, the other things will be completely same as the Red Color Alteisen! It is due to release on January 2008!

So are this kits on your buying list? They are definitely on my list!
