'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
