New Stuffs by the R-man

Ohayougozaimasu (Good morning in Japanese)! Without further blah blah blahs, I start this blog with an update of my new Turbo Sliders and GeneRally creations. Let's start with my newly-released Turbo Sliders track entitled "TamiyaRace series".

TAMIYA RACE SERIES

Race in this small-but-challenging circuit! Fire up your RC cars and GO!!!

Why Tamiya? Well, it's because that corporation which sells hobby toys, mainly Mini 4WDs and RC cars (well, Mini 4WDs are still popular here in Indonesia. If there aren't young kids who are spending their money for their loved 4WD then it wouldn't be known right now). Because I'm bored and wanted to create a new TS track, I decided to make this track. Small but challenging track at a size of 640x480. It also has two another versions: The one with the night mod on (you need to download Jazzy's Nightmod tiles first. Don't worry, you can download it here) and the one with snow tiles. You can get them here (All links are on the game's official site):

- Normal
- Night
- Snow

NEW GR STUFFS

These creations are still WIP (but there's also my creation which is completed as individual but WIP as a pack, either it is a car or a track).

First off all, cars. Recently I've made Lancer Evolution V...



And Suzuki Cappuccino (or Capcino perhaps? According to Gran Turismo 2's typo)



If you noticed the "Rally de Europe" logo, congratulations! You've figured out that those cars are meant to commemorate a decade of Rally de Europe's release. Even though there might be still a little people playing it, I decided to do this because I love the game and its prequel Rally de Africa. I've played both games since I was an elementary school student, precisely Grade 1.

WHAAAAAAT???

If you watched Britain's Next Top Model Cycle 1, especially the third episode, there's a song where the girls have to dance to it as a challenge. Until now, no one could name the song. However, it is worth listening.

If you're really curious about what music I'm talking about, here. Download it and listen to it. What do you think?

Any plans to make some TS/MRO/GR/Other stuffs?

Err... Actually I have, but I have to write a new chapter of World's Next Top Champion Season 2. Haven't posted a new episode after almost a month...

Well, I have to go now. Tune in for the next blog post! See you next time!

NEW TRACK! -Re_Gutsdaze- This TS track has guts, yo!!!

Hi! Emperor Slasher is back once more! Next time I should change this blog name instead because I haven't play TXRD2 lately...

So, what are you doing right now?
Just stuck on my fan fiction, watching NTM shows and some serials (DL 'em or watch 'em on cable), et cetera.

What happen to you with GeneRally stuffs? TS stuffs and MRO?
I'm still planning what stuff I should do! Either a car, a track, or miscellanous thing for the game, but I don't have enough passion...

Still watching Inazuma Eleven?
I am! Now I've finished ep 60! I'm about to see Raimon vs. Genesis match and the Dark Emperors...

Do you know Australia's Next Top Model's recent controversy?
Freaking knew it! The host made a horrible blunder mistake! She must had a SUPER pressure! Seriously, no controversy, no AusNTM...

What happened to the F/W girls?
Fall/Winter season? Damn, much worse than last year in terms of quantity. Patricia is still dominating, Polina is the only one who showed up in London, no ANTM girls walking outside NYFW. But I have to tell you in terms of quality, I know that this year, they improved. Look at Meaghan Waller from Canada's NTM 3! She was in Milan! She's much more successful than Rebecca of last season's CNTM (she's my fave on the show)...

Apart from that, Michela, Barbara and Cecile don't return, but Alice was in New Zealand for its own fashion week. Probably she will return in one of four fashion cities in S/S. Hopefully...

How about Ouendan? Have you tried them?
Tried Ouendan 2 on Emulator. I think pure Ouendan experience should be on true NDS, not the emulator. Don't worry, PC has its own Ouendan game called osu! But tapping with mouse is complex though. I've completed all of Tasian's Ouendan Let's Plays :) (which is here and here!).

ANTM Cycle 15... Ah, how you can forget that thing since you're an ANTM fanboy?
Italian Vogue, IMG, ANTM models needs to be successful this time. Early crush-freaks such as my faves who got eliminated... Anamaria, Rhianna and Lexie.

OKAY, STOP IT! THE TITLE OF THE BLOG IS MY NEW TS TRACK CALLED RE_GUTSDAZE!!!



One of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan stages inspired me to make this track. The track has the following features:

- It has 3 tracks: Turf, Dirt, and Steeplechase
- Every track has 2 configurations: Oval and Sprint
- That's it. :D

All you have to do is download this track here!

Well, that's it. It's 5pm in my area right now and I have to go home now... Sorry if this blog post is too short and doesn't have labels. Bye!

Emperor Slasher is BACK!!! But he's no longer Emperor Slasher... :( (But he's still a hot-blooded NTM fanboy :))

Hello! Welcome to the Emperor Slasher Blogs! Sorry if I once again went inactive for two freaking months (:O!), that's because I can't think what blog post I should make...

However, I'm pleased to be back to write some craps of mine!!!

I'm a Hot-Blooded NTM Fanboy!!!

As the title implies, I have to admit that I'm a hot-blooded Next Top Model fanboy! Why hot-blooded? Simple: I have obsessions that NTM girls can be like... Most Shounen series :smitten , and yes, I'm a fan of Japanese animes, games, and musics. Although I'm not too used with kanjis, but I'm still liking it :). I'm still on the learning phase, you know :P

First, America's Next Top Model Cycle 15 is about to start in days! Woo yeah! Those memorable catfights, those dramas, and yet, those fierce girls and photoshoots will be coming again! My faves are Lexie, Chelsey, Ann, and Anamaria! However, that's just my starting faves, and I'm not adding anything yet!

But wait, ANTM 15 got a controversy once again? WTF!? This time involving Ann who has the smallest waist. It leads to a controversy, yes! What's the reason? Promoting unhealthy body? Meh, I don't get it... :(. Ann IS healthy, nothing's wrong with her, it's just her small waist, and she's not (sorry!) Anorexia! Come on... Wait, Janice involved in it too? Damn it, you the woman who ended your modeling agency still dissing on Tyra! Heck! The Japanese people have this saying (to you Janice, for dissing Tyra): Tataru zo! Korā!! (Curse you! Jerk!). Sorry, but I feel that Tyra isn't meant to promote an unhealthy body to the competition...

Meanwhile, let's move on to the other NTM fandoms :D. Did you know that Australia's, Britain's, and New Zealand's Next Top Model are still running that making those three the fiercest British-accented NTM countries? You bet! In AusNTM, sadly for international fans out there we are no longer able to watch the episodes from YouTube because of... This.

Zgrantu just told me on YT that he has to delete all of the Australia's next top model videos because Foxtel is blocking them :O

- one of RTVG members (*gulp*)

To be honest I'm so sad because I haven't watched all the episodes from my fav cycles 3-5, including the recent one, Cycle 6. Asian cable channel airing AusNTM as the last resort? Meh! They don't air Cycles 5 and 6! And I think they might not air New Zealand's NTM as well which is NOOOOOOOO!!!!! /Darth Vader's voice

Oh well, Megaupload as the last resort. I don't hate that site, but somehow I'm between "do it!" and "don't do it!" because I'm worried about my internet connection. MY VISITED INTERNET CAFES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPEED TO STREAM MEGAVIDEO THAT FAST!

Fandom shift, BNTM :D. Only watched the first episode, but at least I can learn two things:

- Tiffany's voice is... (*gulp*) weird.
- This girl is so gorgeous in my opinion:


Last but not least, NZNTM aka New Zealand's aka the NTM which produced a moe winner! Yes, Christobelle = moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe!!!

This cycle, the theme is Gold and Glitter, and the makeovers... Some of them reminds me to somekind of... Well. Elza reminds me of... Nothing, but she's gorgeous. Lauren somekind reminds me of Adriana from 90210 (with shorter hair). And Lara, she's Emma Pillsbury to me :yummy:. For Nellie, I can't describe anything about her but one: FIERCE!

FALL/WINTER FASHION WEEK! Cue the imperial march and those noble NTM supermodels!

You got it right! September is about to be boomed by the Fall/Winter Fashion Week in a matter of days! Let's see which noble ones deserved to walk as many as they get!

Australian side

They have Alice Burdeu! Yes! Only Alice Burdeu, no other ones... Well, she's coming back! And she walked for some designers which is "YAAY! The red-haired moe model is back!" Because Alice Burdeu = OVER 9000 moe-ness!!!!

I swear I virtually bounced hard of her comeback!

German side

Vanessa Hegelmaier the hawk (duh @ me making Vanessa = Jet the Hawk!). She have been impressed the world since last year's F/W. If she can do it again, then...

Dutch side

They have two! (Damn!)

First, Patricia van der Vliet. Cue the imperial music as this girl (who defeated Ksenia Kahnovich in terms of success in S/S 2010) is ready to take down the world again by her walk and make every journalists chant "Patricia!". New rule, Patricia van der Vliet = moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe!!!

Second, Cecile Sinclair. She won the third cycle of Holland's NTM, and I don't surprised of her success because she's already a successful model :). Moe? Sort of...

Italian side

Michela Maggioni Legrand aka Michela Legrand :). This moe model who appeared in one of Germany's Next Top Model Cycle 4 episode and as successful as Alice Burdeu will definitely join the fight! Yet, a new rule has surfaced; Michela Legrand = moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe moe!!!

Russian side

The legendary Ksenia Kahnovich (cue the imperial music! All hail Ksenia!). She has been successful for years after her winning on Russia's first NTM cycle! This legend will be back again and ready to contest Patricia's crown! I wish there's a staring contest between Ksenia and Patricia. Ksenia Kahnovich = 6 years of OVER 9000 moes!

Finally, enter Polina Sova!

She just got a showcard! Can't say much of anything but I'm wishing the best from her :). Sorry Polina, doesn't mean you're not moe enough :), aishiteru! (I love you!)

Phew! That was a hell of a blog post, I wanna end it up with some random interests I am involving with prior to the last month (August ;)):

- Inazuma Eleven! Woot! I love that soccer anime, and I love the techniques! This is better than Captain Tsubasa!
- GeneRally! Just finished my hotlap run in Vuvuzela Challenge of South Africa. Currently on Round 4 right now.
- The World Cup! Damn, I thought Netherlands or Germany will win! In addition, those Vuvuzelas made me crazeh!
- Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2. Sorry, but I have to take a break on it, but I'll be back, and will kick a Thirteen Devils' member's ass!
- Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! I wish I had a Nintendo DS, I really want that game! I really want the second version (entitled Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii! [you-know-it] 2). Althought I haven't played it, Tasian's Let's Play Ouendan 2 is literally really kick ass!
- Fave songs prior to Ouendan interest: Samurai Blue by ZZ, Monkey Magic by ORANGE RANGE (I like the Ouendan cover better tbh :(), Shounen Heart by Home Made Kazoku, Music Hour by Porno Grafitti, COUNTDOWN by HYDE, and last but not least, Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobunda ze by Sambomaster (Goddamnit! I love the lead's scream in mellow rhythm they have!).

That's all folks! See you in the next blog post :D!

'ROUND THE 3-WEEK UNWRITTENS in one post

Hi! Emperor Slasher is here again! It's been almost a month that I didn't update my blog. First of all, sorry to my readers who competed in GeneRally Rookie Championship for not recapping 4 races (YEAH, and that includes the finale - Masters of Dicrette).

Nevertheless, I've wrapped up the things that I've wanted to say in the past three weeks (including now) in ONE BLOG POST. Starting with.... Quick recaps of GRC S16!

Quick Recaps of GeneRally Rookie Championship S16

Since my absence at the time the third round start (due to my semester test), I can't compete in GRC. In Fort Myers, I can't say much because neither me, Resir, nor SRT8 from Racing Van Java (It's our team, of course) are competed in that, but Calders once again showed his mastery of GRC. Meanwhile at Chartres, it's PEB1985 from Russia who won, followed by Calders, and mizzamar. Resir014 is the only one from our team who competed, and he finished 16th.

In Chivenor, It's the new competitor LorSong who won the race, PEB and Calders finished 3rd and 4th respectively. Surprisingly, Calders who done well throughout the season is warned because of his late submit, but thankfully, it's his first warning, because if he done that once again, he will be penalized. No Racing Van Java racers in the 5th round. Finally, the finale takes place in Dicrette. Although my 12th place is definitely out-of-Top 10, but who cares? As long as there's at least one Asian nation show up in GR compos, we're still showing that Asians also have passion to GeneRally, because as we know, the Asians plays online games made by Korean game companies. But it doesn't stop there, Japan made arcade games which are pretty likeable and thanks with the magnet card system we can drive through to reach the max tune point. Us? Well, not only Indonesian members like me, resir and SRT who are still alive, Japan is also still active (although not in competitions, they still make tracks and cars for the game itself).

Back to the topic, LorSong wins again with an impressive total time of 12"07'06. Meanwhile, Calders dropped to fourth, and resir014 is in the dead last, with a very dissapointing far gap behind the second-to-last driver. Well, Racing Van Java isn't a good racing team, but at least, it's a "Champion-in-the-making" team in Asia. I wonder who's the fastest Asian GR player around?

In the end, I placed 21st in the overall standings, and RVJ is in the 9th place before the last place Lukeno1 sports, let's call it RVJ is in the bottom two but safe if I use the ANTM term.

My TXRD2 Careers!!!

Not-so-successful in GRC, I throw my nightmare out from GRC and continue my TXRD2 career. So far, I played conquest mode and my current BAD name is "The Absolute Major". The last save game is much further because I was reaching Stage 3, but low Category Race level, lesser prize I acquire, and I don't beat CA rivals Redeye and the Ura Rokko CA guy.

Now I have to start my career from zero because the last memory card, where I saved that TXRD2 progress is broken. This time, I bought the red Silvia S13, and completed many events. I also bought the NA Trueno AE86 from the used car shop for two NA fests and completed Stage 1's Turbo Fest (Yaay :D). I also completed several CAT Sponsors which I haven't completed it. And in addition, I also beat the Redeye!

But that's not over yet for me. I'm also making a GeneRally cars depicting TXR rival cars, such as... Legendary Schneider and Emperor Speed. Actually, there's more cars I have to work on, like 13 Thirteen Devils cars (Minus Jintei, it's 12 to go), Kingdom Twelve cars (sadly I have no figure about their cars since I'm not yet facing one of them), Death Ruse (The most annoying CA rival), Haunted Shore, Ground Zero, and Slashers (that includes Absolute Emperor, Miracles Summit, Emotional King, and 8 others). In addition I also want Sitar Kaneyama and well... Others.

Why I want to do this? Simple answer: Ms... (Masa) from GeneRally made 2 car packs from 2 different anime series: Initial D and Wangan Midnight. Because he made two of Japan's most-popular street racing animes due to the expanding fanbase on forums, I decided to bring out TXRD2. Now, let's see if I could reenact them (only if I have enough pics to illustrate. Without pics, I don't know what the car exactly look like).

And also, others are on my way! Like...

Next Top Model shows!!! There will be lots of Next Top Model shows in the second half of this year, most notably Australia's Next Top Model C6 and Britain's Next Top Model C6. Sadly, I haven't watched any of their season 5 episodes, but I'm following it. Also, several NTM shows will return like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and many others. Don't forget that my Jintei-ness to NTM girls who are walking in the upcoming Fall/Winter 2010 will appear with more power and more scream. Why Jintei-ness? Because I CALLED PATRICIA VAN DER VLIET MIRACLES SUMMIT AND VANESSA HEGELMAIER ABSOLUTE EMPEROR, AND I EVEN CALL KSENIA KAHNOVICH AS THE LEGENDARY NTM WINNER OF ALL TIME!!! UGH!!!

Forget that, next topic. Trying my best of how "Otaku" am I, I decided to watch K-On! Yaay, I watched the first episode and it's so funny. Not only that, I'm starting to grow my interest to two of their songs Cagayake GIRLS! and Don't say 'lazy'. I might plan myself to watch other anime episodes, like Wangan Midnight. I just watched the first episode and I am intended to watch the second episode, but maybe next time...

Beside those animes, I also watch primetime shows. In my country... No, I mean, in SE Asia, Glee reaches its final episode. I'm pretty sure that New Directions will kick Vocal Adrenaline's Schneider-y butt with Will's Inazuma-istic song! I can't wait to see who win!!! Meanwhile, some of the primetime shows I watched through this week are Smallville (The episode where Clark became a new quarterback and he has to investigate a green-coloured drink which is actually, a love potion), and still counting. I want Parenthood, Melrose Place, 90210, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries (no, I download The Vampire Diaries. Not on TV unfortunately), and many others!!!

Finally, I have to say this bitter thing but my computer is broken again. You might think "How come???" because usually my computer broken when there's a damn immovable virus called runouce. But this time, I don't have a virus, but it's my motherboard. That's because my computer restarts before the BIOS screen, also my computer, although I pressed "Delete" or "F2" button, it keeps restarting. What do you have to say?

And with all this bombshell, it's time for me to go. See you next time!

~Regards

GeneRally Rookie Championship 16 - Race 2 Recap

Hey there! It’s Emperor Slasher once again. Sorry for not posting this second race recap as quickly as the race ends (like in the first race I’ve done) because I had a semester test. However, it’s better late than not doing it at all, because this recap might be useful for non-GR players :D. The second race of GeneRally Rookie Championship were take place at the fast and swift track of *drumrolls* Xavelot!!!



The high speed feel of this course, complete with a combination of fast turns and two tight turns makes the course pretty challenging, considering you have to keep your high speed to the max while weaving through the tight corners, especially the last one. Well, you don’t have to hire Jun Kitami as your pit crew, whereas you don’t have to hire Emma Pillsbury to be your mentor, or even you don’t have to call Ryosuke Takahashi either. The entire road is yours.

TOP RACERS!!!

As usual, let’s cover the top racers first! There was a great battle between mizzamar and Calders! Both of these drivers drove their best just before they are battling each other at one lap. mizzamar hold the lead at the start of the stage, but at the middle of the race, the climax rises between mizz and Calders, and with Calders’ great driving he can overtake him and take the victory of the second race here at Xavelot. Check out the pictures strip below and don’t forget, click to view the full resolution.

And by the way, seeing 5 drivers pitting at once is definitely one of my favorite moments ever on GRC :P.



HOW ABOUT RACING VAN JAVA???

Due to my semester test, I have to pass out some GRC races starting this round (with the possible reappearance on somewhere between 4th or 5th round, can’t miss that Dicrette race). Thus, I rely on two of my teammates: resir014 and SRT8 (Thank God he finally shows up :D). The result? Could be better though because finishing below Top 10 is like an everyday “food” for us. 16th and 17th place? *Gulp*.

But at least, Racing Van Java scores points and have two drivers racing, just like the last race :). After all, we’re not that fast. GR isn’t our strength, but at least we could at least get used to any video games like Sega Rally, Trackmania, Drift City, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift, Initial D Arcade Stage, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, and others that I couldn’t mention because the list is too long and I can only name a few.



WHAT IF I TAKE PART IN THIS RACE?

You might be asking if I competed in this race, in what place I will be finished at? Well, at the time this blog is written, I decided to race by myself using the generic GRC settings. And after minutes of playing, the result is...
























4 Minutes... 41 point... 13 seconds which puts me ahead of Marcondes who has 4’ 41.27” which means, I would placed 11th place. I admit that I’m not Asia’s fastest driver on GR, but at least being the fastest Indonesian racer on GeneRally is enough. I’m here just to show that Asians also has the interest of GR.

Well, that’s it for today, join us as we will race through the streets of the most technical and short track in GRC: Fort Myers. See you there!

GeneRally Rookie Championship 16 - Race 1 Recap

GeneRally Rookie Championship is back with its 16th season, with new tracks, and still the same FR/13 car. Different than the last season, this season has many teams competing for the title. Teams in this season are much greater in number than the previous seasons which most of them are privateers (No passion to run a team, perhaps???). Opening this season’s GRC is Trigger Park by AleksiNir.

Bottom right sweeper is making me RAGE. -Haruna Say

This track is pretty, well, let’s say “challenging” due to the fierceness of the penultimate corner. I wonder where Death Ruse had been... But well, we’re talking about GRC, right? So no time to talking crap about the hardest CA rival of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 right now. Speaking of the “Season Opener”, we have 21 racers driving for this first race, which is the biggest in GRC since 1st event of 13th season in October 2009.

Best Drivers Arise!

Well, Europeans rules GeneRally, hence the best position they’ve got. Just look at the first race results! After a long battle, nico wins the race with a speed of 103 kmh (How I could reach that speed?). At the first lap, there was a fierce 5-way battle. The fight continues as nico, Calders and Haruna Say are fighting for the first place. Not only that, Quiklis and mizzamar are fighting too. You can see the action at the picture strip below:

For me, it’s not a great outcome.

"Goh-dang-it, another out-of-top 10-place..." -Rendy

Click on the picture to see bigger resolution

Unfortunately, yet again I placed below Top 10 which is sad because you feel that you've expected yourself to be one of the top 10 racer, but it turns out false. I finished 14th, 0.97 seconds behind medal89 and 0.22 seconds ahead Red. And since I’m on the Silver class (Means I’m no longer in the Bronze class, the class I’ve been since my first GRC until the previous season), I can’t hide this God-awful shame.

However, I’ve been involved in the battles against Santana 2.0 and Ginseng for position. In the end, it was me who got pwned by Ginseng, followed by Medal89. Once again, it is not a good result, but I don’t surprised at all because I made mistakes and bad trajectories. Oh my Lanta!

Teammate got sucked

Horrible track, horrible race, just horrible. -resir014

Click on the picture to see bigger resolution

Racing Van Java, an Indonesian GRC team consisting of me, ChargerSRT8 and resir014 competes in this prestigious event. ChargerSRT8 had been active on GRC competitions since the RSC era, and resir014 comes from RaceDepartment.org and was a leader of the Race Department team of GRC. But unfortunately we’re out of luck. Let’s face it, ChargerSRT8 didn’t race in this first event and he said (via Facebook chat) that he might be racing for the second race after he is done with his “Otaku” thing. Meanwhile, resir014 had pulled out his great skills, but he’s last (Ever since he was on the RD GRC team, he wasn’t that slow). Again, I have to say “What a Dreckitude” to this outcome.

We need some more training in order to achieve best results on Xavelot, the second track of the season.

Well, sadly I have to conclude this blog. While I conclude this, check out The Secret to Go Fast thread on gene-rally.com, it is where you can find the guide for beginners to go as fast as the professionals. Once again, thanks for reading!

Al Dasein, Raina & Krista, and New TXRD 2 Career

It's Emperor Slasher again! I was "resting" this blog for awhile but now I wake it up again and I'm bringing you my latest blog: Al Dasein, Raina & Krista, and New TXRD 2 Career. Three of them are all my interest of 3 different interests :D.

First up, Al Dasein.


"Don't expect to race with AIs because the AI Line is so DRECKITUDE."

This is my second track after the CrossRace, my first legit track to be released in gene-rally.com. In the Al Dasein Track, the track embodies "Middle East" track mixed with "Arabia" feel. The cliffs reminds us to the ones seen on Age of Empires II, only this time it's not square-ish.

But still, there's several things that should be improved. Like:

- The surroundings are very empty (Usually middle-east oil sheik's build big facilities to their tracks.)
- Only two stands
- Drecky AI Line
- Roofs on the stands
- A parking area
- Alley of palms around one of paths to claim it ''major path'' with importance like a boulevard
- Place net 3-5 on few places around track
- Club building near pits
- More zooming
- And some others. (Source: Ivo Porc and Quiklis)

But well, it's no surprise for me, because I don't have much experiences on GR trackmaking, and I only drive GRCs :p.

Second, let's shift the gear from GeneRally to America's Next Top Model. 2 weeks ago, the 2-hour finale takes place, and the Cycle 14 winner is Krista White. I thought Raina Hein win the cycle... :(

However, just like Takumi Fujiwara who has a lower-powered car than Ryosuke Takahashi overtake him at the Akina race thanks to his technique, Raina got her international gig. After I watched the [downloaded] ANTM finale episode, Tyra mentioned the names of the successful non-winners like Fatima, Anya, Katarzyna, Mollie Sue, etc. Raina got her Harper's Bazaar Arabia feature which is great :D.

Now, the Cycle 15 is rumored to be a "Rebirth Cycle" with a HUGE MASTER PLAN of Vogue Italia feature/cover/spread/whatever as a prize. What agency suits best? IMG? Elle? Or Anykind? Or stand still with Wilhelmina? (I think ANTM is about to match Russia's NTM's winning record of making a successful winner because as you know, Ksenia Kahnovich got successful after the show, and so does Michela Legrand from Italia's NTM 2).

Finally, I conclude this blog by shifting yet another gear, from being an ANTM Otaku to a Touge Hashiriya. Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 is the game I'm playing on PS2 right now. I decided to start all over again, since the memory card I use to save the game's progress got broken. If in the previous progress I drove an AE85 Levin, now I drive a red Silvia S13. I've installed the "Critical S-Engine Tuning" (AKP-HRM-UNI), power tuning, drive train tuning, weight reduction, and blah blah blah. Sadly I couldn't take away the turbo to become NA, because the Stage 1 category race is NA Fest.

I decided to buy a Levin 1500SR in the Used Car Lot for 600K+ CP (Exact price enknown). Although I've done the "Critical Engine Tuning" and it's an NA, it is 105PS in power and to bring in to NA Fest, it's a dreck.

Damn! I have to go right now, I posted this because today's IT subject material is making blog, and the time is running out. Goodbye guys!

New GeneRally stuffs

Hi! It's Emperor Slasher again here. Due to a lack of interest in writing blogs because of my life, I would announce you my GeneRally stuffs. Of course you can found these stuffs on GeneRally International Racers Forums :D

First up, my new car... Which is Genki Racing Project S2000 - inspired by a real-world car of the same name.

This is the first version of my car. Actually, it isn't my first car. I've made TGS Devilbat RS (Fictitious car) on RaceSimCentral forums' GeneRally section. After RSC's GR is dead, I don't care the Devilbat anymore. Also, I made TGS Sasuke ST, another fictitious car. And also, I made RidgEout Racers (Cross between Ridge Racer and Wipeout video game), but unfortunately I halted it for some reason.

However, it is too much faulty... I mean, look here:

Sorry, but that doesnt look like an s2000.
Is this your first car? For first its good. :D
Lights should have atleast 2 polies, it should be thinner and hood should be longer. (Sutinen)

And also, The Great Falcon's complex theory. I thought I've made an S2000 but not exactly look like S2000. So, I've updated the car and here's what I got:


Differences between the first version with the second version.

In the second version, the car's shape is starting to look like S2000. Some fixes also done, that includes the color change. Lorenzo stated:

I was told that GR uses chosen colour and two next colours for reflections. If you chose 169 (dark grey) game uses also 170 (grey) and 171 (dark blue). It's not everything: look at the car when it's under the water! In that case game uses also 172 (yellow). And it is yellow in the water, isn't it?

So, using 168 as the black colour in the models is IMO better than using 169.

However, there's one more flaw that I haven't notice since the first version. It is...

This car needs a diet. Too wide in my opinion. (Haruna Say)

Yep, the car is looked Plus-size which doesn't reflect S2000 at all. So I worked it to slim it down. Also, I decided to spend two polies for the headlights for the price of the rear parts' polies (Since I've used ALL vertexes, 30 to be exact).

But how this thing turned out? Will this thing is turned out to be a good one?


Differences between the second version with the latest version.

Well, that concludes the blog post for today. I will update the RENDYTuned site ASAP, since I want to put some new stuffs in it. Adios!

EMPEROR SLASHER --> Me and ANTM 14

It's here again. I don't have to tell you my name because you've already know it.

By the way, before I will rant about ANTM 14 episodes (aka America's Next Top Model Cycle 14), I will tell you that I HAVE HYVES.

Q: "Wait, it says 'Hiroki Koukami'. That's not yours!"
A: Nope! You're wrong. It's my Hyves, and I named it because... Weeks ago, I've talked to one guy whose internet name is why_spyder on Facebook (he is the Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 master. You can meet him along with his friends in The Xtreme Racers forums. This is why_spy's profile), I wanted to know the REAL NAMES of my specific racer. Since I love randomness and Emotional King (the video was posted in previous entry), I decided to use the name Hiroaki Koukami. Actually, my TXRD2 progress is just at Stage 3 courses. Here's the profile for the Emotional King thanks to why_spyder.

Blackout:

Once the fastest man in Aso - no, the fastest man on ANY course - the only person who could rival Koukami was Koukami himself. Realizing this, he disappeared completely from the night battle world. He shows no interest in the up-and-coming talents of the racing world, focusing solely on improving himself. His racing style is truly emotional.

He drives a modified Mitsubishi Lancer, he appears on Hokkaido and his Rival Number is 325 (If I'm not wrong)

And now, here are my thoughts for ANTM 14:

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Looking at the promotional pic, it's really sexy. And yes, my curiosity for the designer who made them is relapsed once again, because believe it or not, it's actually the Makeover pics too!

FIRST & SECOND EPISODE:
Both episodes are fine. The first one is about the semifinals. The theme for the semifinals for this cycle is "Myfiercepage.com" (which is unfortunately fictitious, 'cuz I would like to visit and investigate it by myself :p). Also, there are 13 finalists who join semifinals, and they missed one (actually not, this girl joined a different casting), Her name is Ren (phew).

The first photoshoot, ugh! I mean, not my taste at all. How can I immerse myself if the first photoshoot isn't my taste after all? Dang, I'm like... Sick of nudity right now. Let's not talk that one and talk the second one, which is "Work Safe" (woo yeah!). Wait, did I just say "Work Safe"? No, it's "Work Safe and so High Fashion!", especially Raina and Anslee :D.

Not surprised to see Gaby and Naduah gone because I'm not their fan, but I'm sad to see them go as "An Average Guy Who Doesn't Fave Anyone.

THIRD EPISODE:
Third photoshoot is about dancing. However, before I talk about that, I'll tell you my thoughts about Alexandra's EPIC FALL (not EPIC FAIL). It is happened on the challenge runway at the Surrogate Courthouse and the girls have to walk past pendulums. The second Alexandra fall is the most epic of all, which I really compare it to a Formula One crash, a Moto GP crash, and even, a NASCAR pile-up.

Back to the photoshoot thingy, the girls are embracing various dance genres. Ren was the third to go. Even though I'm a fan of her, I'm not a fan of her photo on that photoshoot. On a side note: Glee-inspired photoshoot anyone?

FOURTH EPISODE:
OMG! The fourth photoshoot is about shooting with a male model, and the theme is "Vampires"! I can't say much but I'm too sad seeing Simone gone.

FIFTH EPISODE:
It's about making chemistry in this episode. Ross Matthews appears in this episode and the girls have to pose with him, with 5 frames limit. The winner? Jessica! I can't believe I couldn't find a pose of an ANTM Girl with Matthews-san that is my taste but her! Jessica rocks!

For the photoshoot, it is the worst for me. I would throw it a red brick for the concept, but I liked Raina's. Tatianna was eliminated in this episode.

SIXTH EPISODE
Tinsley Mortimer appears in this episode, which is a good thing since I've watched a show where it shows several society girls including Tinsley just before I'm an active online guy. For the photoshoot, it's about posing Covergirl on a subway train. Bad thing is Jessica is on bottom three, worse? Brenda got eliminated. She is my fave but she seems to be hated by most.

SEVENTH EPISODE
I can't say much for this episode because the photoshoot is a bad hair day. I think I'm afraid that Jessie wouldn't go far, and Anslee got eliminated, which is not only happy that she's gone but also unhappy because she's gone.

NEW ZEALAND
Okay, so we reached the international destination arc of the show. However, I wouldn't want to tell you what I'm feeling when I watch the first NZ episode, but I already knew that Jessica Serfaty in B2 is as awful as me placed last in NetBook Racers on GeneRally, but Alasia got eliminated is as bitter-but-happy as my "poor" finish at GeneRally Rookie Cup Season 15.

Meanwhile, Krista got FCOs, meaning that she's the current FCO Queen <--- THIS. Raina on top 3 is pretty decent, as she needs to win this one. Angelea is the one to watch, as I don't want to see Jaslene Effect happen. A Jaslene Effect happens when a girl who didn't make it last season comes back next season and then win.

PROGRESSION
At Reality TV Games site, there are three different members who updates the statistics. They are:

DS617 with Tainninho with their Call Out Average system. You can find it here (for the current progression).
Turborendyrunabout with his Pointscoring and Medal system. The progress so far can be found here, but in case if you don't know those systems, you can figure it out here:

POINTSCORING SYSTEM

If you want to know what is point scoring system, the point scoring system is a simple system. If a girl score more points then that girl is in the lead of the pack. Here's the formula for the pointscoring system

Number of girls = Points for FCO
Ex: xxx got FCO on the first week (there are 13 girls on the first week), so the girl gets 13 points for that. The eliminated girl, still score point. However, one point.

MEDAL SYSTEM

A medal system is probably the easiest method since it's only covers first 3 girls called. FCO means gold, second CO means silver, and third CO means bronze. Again, points plays its role, only this time that gold medal gets 3 points, silver medal gets 2 points, and bronze medal gets 1 point. How simple is that?

Finally, supmod's Patented Supmod System. It's a little bit complex to me but it's fine. You can find out the current progression using this system here.

Wow, I think that's the longest crap I've posted in my blog! Oh well, I gotta go. I wanna watch Castle now...

Being Hacked, GTCC, and Age of Empires II

Hello! This is Emperor Slasher once again. I'm sorry if I haven't write my blog for like a week and counting, hence my school life and my real life restricts me from doing THIS and THAT.

First topic: Being Hacked. Actually, I was hacked by yesterday. It all starts when I chatted with my friend yesterday afternoon. She asked me "What's that on your profile picture?". I didn't realized that my profile pic was replaced, from the Takata NSX racing on Laguna Seca, to a nasty picture (I don't wanna tell what it is but it is nasty).

I've deleted that thing and changed my pic back to Takata NSX. However, when I was home, the picture was replaced once again by the hacker, and not only that, the hacker writes a very nasty status, so people thinks that it's my status (which is actually from his hack). Finally, the problem is finished. The question is is there any chance of this happened again?

Second, It's GTCC. Wait, did I say GTCC? For those who don't know what is that, it's actually GeneRally Touring Car Championship. Yup, it's the another GeneRally PC Game compo I joined after Summer Silhouettes, GeneRally Rookies Championship, and NetBook Racers. The reason why I joined is because the fellow countryman I met at Race Department forums (It has a GR section a long time ago), his name is Resi Respati, also known as resir014.

He asked me if he wants me to take part in his team "BMW Team Indonesia" at the compo. Interested, I joined the compo. Now, what I wish for my team is to place as best as possible but not last place, or bottom place either. Placed Bottom 2 is painful enough, last place is much more like a real pain in the arse.

Here's teh entry list, scroll down till you found my joined team.

Finally, Age of Empires II. This is my favorite strategy game, even it's the only strategy game I love. I knew this game by my schoolmate when I was in 7th grade. Since my computer were re-installed (because my stupidity of deleting NTLDR file a long time ago), I forgot that game, until I put my interest to it once again thanks to one of the internet cafe which has Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion pack.

This way, I can pour my creativity to make some maps for battle, even making scenarios. However, I should learn triggers feature too since making scenarios isn't just about maps, and units. Triggers play a very vital part on every scenarios.

Well, I'm not in a good mood of writing blogs today, hence the blog is short. Expect another post in the future.

Effort of a 358mb download, Game Maker, and New Turbo Sliders Tracks

Hi! Emperor Slasher is back!

First of all, my free days are about to gone after today, because tomorrow I will go to school again (school break is over). So, how can I update myself? Well, I might do it between Thursday-Sunday. I need my home internet!!!

Okay, so today's blog is "Effort of a 358mb download, Game Maker, and New TS Tracks.". But before I start, I will tell you that the blog on RendyTUNED is no longer exist. So if you want to read my blog, go here! If you want to go from here to RendyTUNED, the link is http://rendytuned.webs.com/. I updated the layout, but I should do some major makeovers.

First up, 358mb Download - The Effort. It is a bittersweet thing of course. It's all about speed of download. However, it is a different story for me because I'm downloading an *.avi file that has a size of 358mb. Sometimes my speed is approximately 45kb/s, and it takes more than an hour to finish.

Downloading a 358mb file is pretty painful, especially if you have an internet connection which has a slow downloading speed and also a website which gives a full advantage for premium users (example: Megaupload). Yes, I download a 358mb file on Megaupload. I wish I have a credit card and fully understand the internet payment. (But I'm 15, and my parents aren't understand the internet payment, hence they don't have PayPal :p).

Rather I rage about that downloading, let's move on to the Game Maker thing. As you know, Game Maker has released the new version which is the 8.0, with a new logo. I've downloaded it and it's a great game making tool! Trust me, build your own game and show it off to your friends! You can find Game Maker here.

Talking about Game Maker game, I made one. The name of my first GM game is "Catch The Fruit". Well, it is the first phase of my game making skills. The game's concept is to catch the fruit while avoiding bombs. You can DL it here.

Actually, I'm planning to make another level, hence because it's just the first version. My mega project is a Mario Kart-inspired Game Maker game. That is when I found Goomdaddy's Mario Kart engine. Also, I made a Super Mario Kart-styled sprite of Takumi Fujiwara's AE86. Here's the link to see it.

Finally, New TS Tracks. As I told you earlier, RendyTUNED Blog is now defunct and this blog replaces it. Let's review what I've made:

- I've made 8 tracks for normal cars, one of them is a Nightmod track and it's a single lap.
- 13 Photoshopped tracks, nine of them are inspired by video games.
- Made 2 Photoshopped single-lap tracks
- Made 2 XBumpz tracks.

For today, I uploaded 4 new tracks! And they are... in alphabet order... *drumrolls*:

- Drift Highway - Inspired by a Big Blue Track of F-Zero GX. Beware, this is the first version and it has bugs. Regardless, it's fun to drive, especially the "Glass Fleet Slope" before the second jump. Link.
- Racing Lagoon - Inspired by a Playstation game called Racing Lagoon. Drive through mountainous roads! See if you can tackle the sharp turns! This course has 2 versions, Daytime version and Nighttime version.
- Rookie Ring GP - Rookie Ring GP! It has a tight turn at the start, followed by hairpin, "Le Mans Square" and a banked turn in the end. My first track to have a TSE layout. Link.

Unfortunately I'm too lazy to show you the pictures, so yeah. Next up, my TS Track Mega Project, Tsukuba Circuit.


"I know the runoff area is quite crappy, I'll fix it ASAP."

As you can see, the Tsukuba Circuit's completion is 45%. I might be upload it, maybe next week or faster.

And... Because I'm really lazy right now, I have to go. See you at the next post!

Bunta Fujiwara, GNTM, and Ren's un-acceptance

Hi! Emperor Slasher is here again.

Today, the theme of today's blog is Bunta Fujiwara, Germany's Next Top Model, and Ren (from America's Next Top Model 14)

First up, Bunta Fujiwara (from Initial D)



Bunta Fujiwara is Takumi Fujiwara's father. He drives a Subaru Impreza, and his driving skill is more than AWESOME. This video shows Bunta's damn skill, and yes, he's a real master on wheels. I was hoping that when I play Initial D Arcade Stage on my nearest arcade on the nearest mall where I live at, I will challenge him on Bunta's Challenge mode. I'm curious... (smitten)

My advice is: Careful of Bunta. Fortunately he lives at Mt. Akina, and he's a master on Mt. Akina, so don't expect yourself whose dressed like Blair Waldorf but drives badly challenge Bunta Fujiwara. Except if you're Chuck Norris.

Second, Germany's Next Top Model. I'm a bit... Let's say "Hungry to hear Jennifer Hof's voice on GNTM" since yesterday. I know I've wasted my opportunity to watch it on Youtube (before it got deleted), so I decided to want it.

But the only problem is one, I know there's somekind of "Jackpot" where we can DL* GNTM episodes from all cycles, but the size are all 100MB+ and I used cyber cafe to do all that DL-ing. I do this because lately my mind went "drift to another turn" when I stumbled on "GNTM Cycle5 Videos" thread on RTVG. And soon enough, my mind does a "Takumi Drift" and being curious of GNTM, and that's when I crying for GNTM 3 (complete with wanting Jennifer Hof's voice).

Finally, it's about Ren, the 3rd girl eliminated on America's Next Top Model Cycle 14.


An artwork of Ren, made by me.

I'm trying to add her to Facebook but she didn't give any response to accept my request for 3 days (which means a bad thing, especially if you're not login to BATRacer game for 3 days, you'll know what will happen if you do that). No patience, I msg'd* her stating that she should stop looking me I'm a hater, but she wouldn't. The next msg is about asking the reason but she counters it without reason ("I dunno why???").

And I knew that since I post this on RTVG, I finally realized that not all ANTM contestants can accept fans on FB. I was pushed her too hard :(, but at least I still have other ANTM 14 contestants, and today, once again I talked to Raina Hein. The evidence that first time I talked with her is in this image.

Some words marked with * are the words that most people (or some people) didn't understand. So, here's the dictionary:

DL: Short for "Download"
msg'd: Short for "Messaged"

And here's the R-Tips before I end this blog:

- Some ANTM girls may not accept fans on FB
- Even if you're Emotional King, you'll be always underrated on Fashion-based community
- Never attempt what Bunta had done on some of his videos, drive safely
- Never do the "drift" technique while moaning Jessica's last name and playing an unfitting music


Well, that's about it for today, join me again next time. Bye!

~ xoxo.

Back from Hiatus (Has never more relax than this)

Wow! What a stupid fool I am! I've ignored my own blog and now I'm back, this time with a new name, "Emperor Slasher." Yup, you might wondering why... That's because I put interest to Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 aka Kaido Racer 2. It's a great racing game where we can drive through winding mountains from Japan in either daytime and nighttime while racing to earn respect from other racers. What allures me to play it is....

EMOTIONAL KING

This is the last boss at the game, and he's on the last venue of the game which is Hokkaido dirt track. Looks like Rally track you know, but I really love it. I wish I could drive Emotional King's car...

Well, things on me went changed since I don't update this blog. There are:

- At Reality TV Games site, I stopped RTVG Magazine for good and finished one season of my fan fiction WORLD'S NEXT TOP CHAMPION which gathers Next Top Model franchise contestants around the world battling against top-rated TV Series from USA. Sadly, despite the positive comments from my friends, THAT FANFIC IS ROBBED AND PWNED BY OTHER FANFICS. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS THE UNDERRATED FANFIC.
- I'm starting to have less interest on Turbo Sliders. My TS fansite weren't updated (no new tracks), and even worse, I almost stopped playing MiniRacingOnline. Thankfully, I finished 2 new tracks which is not yet uploaded.
- I'm getting my interest boost on GeneRally, that's because my computer is able to play it normally (NO PC REBOOTS, RESTARTS, OR EVEN "GR CLOSES ITSELF PROBLEM). You can find GeneRally game here and talk about GeneRally as well as joining some compos here.

There's other things that changed in me, but I listed those three to make it short, hence the title "Back from Hiatus". Anyway, that's the another short blog I write today, the question is will I update this blog or ended up on hiatus again?

~ Regards
