Future of Firefighting

Found this interesting poster on Wikipedia...

This is a poster created by the Japanese Fire department and is archived in the web site of the Fire fighting museum: Official page No free equivalent could be found since it is the poster content itself that is required. The original poster is released by a government agency and is not for commercial usage, thus it is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media, it actually helps the distribution of the fire-fighting theme idea of the poster. The poster is posted in Japan and published online at the site linked above. It is used for the purpose of demostrating the cultural significance of the related subject matter, Gundam (mobile suit). The picture is uploaded to prevent deep linking to source page.

Gundam Exia 1/60



Ya, I admit I'm greedy. I owned a 1/60 Exia, but I'm still going to get myself an EXF Exia which will be launched soon.
Anyway, the 1/60 is pretty detail and elegant. The GN blade is big enough to use it as a steak knife. Complete with Seven Sword System, the whole body structure was surprisingly stable, unlike the 1/60 Gundam Freedom which gives me a hard time. Very creative design indeed.

Gundam Exia EXF Trans-Am Mode




I'm starting to like EXF(extra finish) Gundams. Definitely getting myself one of this soon. Will display it under a Red LED glass casing! Cool!

Megaman 9



The new Megaman (Rockman) sequel is finally out! Almost 10 years after the last series, I would expect to see some graphic improvement and upgrades. But No!!! It’s going back to the classical root like the NES version. 8 bit graphics, 8 bit soundtracks and old school game play. Anyway, watching the trailer reminds me of my first Megaman (Rockman 3) that I played nearly 20 years ago with my cousins and buddies… The game play and soundtrack brings back a lot of memories too… sob sob…

Megaman fans out there please vote for your favourite Megaman series on the poll corner.

CSI: Hard Evidence Review



If you've played CSI: Miami, 3dimensions of murder, your wouldn't expect to find anything new here. It still retain the point-n-click game concept with minor change on the system. The graphics has been upgraded, with crispier environment and solid character models. The characters are more lively this time, having to show emotions of fear, grieve, happy and pride through more advance face modeling, adding some touch to the game. But even so, you still feel that the conversation between characters are very robotic and
lack of personality.

The story is originally scripted by the scriptwriters behind all the CSI series to fit the game. You are given a total of 5 cases to solve. Your buddy (TV series veterans) will work along with you providing hints if you are stuck or don't know where to go next. In crime scenes, you will be awarded with thoroughness points if you happened to search out the 'way to be thorough' areas. Points can be used to obtain bonuses and rewards. You
will also happen to come across insects that you can collect it for Grissom for his own collection. Complete the collections and you will also be rewarded.

One thing good about this game is that once you complete your search in one area, the system will notify you that the area is cleared, as to make sure that you won't have to go back again.

Overall, the whole game play is still the same as it's predecessor. If you like to solving new cases and don't mind going back to the old game play system (i.e. search for evidence, test on lab, interview suspects) , then this game is for you.

Ratings: 3/5

Gundam 00



The latest Gundam franchise is finally here! Its called Gundam 00 (Double Oh), not zero zero. Reminds me of James Bond Double 'Oh' Seven...Watched 4 episodes so far and was quite impressed with the animation. Gundams are cool and it was non stop action packed all the way. My personal favorite is Dynames' retractable 'sunglasses'. Must watch for Gundam fans!
