Espgaluda II for Iphone (Remastered Post)

This includes Iphone Mode where you can touch the area as a mini bomb thing. The green touch effect reminds me of one of those bomb effects in Imperishable Night. However, you can’t move while in Kakusei Mode and choosing the simpler control mode reduces your intentions when playing this game. Also, the title screen is modified to make use of pixel perfect foreground positions while the background itself is resized. Better off playing in Horizontal Mode if available but that can be troublesome with touchscreen feature. Maybe you can put down the Iphone on the table for better playing but because it’s small, there will be trouble playing certain games properly with the finger. Seems that Iphone HD and Zune HD will be better in terms of resolution. The Iphone Mode can be useful for DS port but porting to DS will not be what I already want the game to look like. The game play resolution of Iphone version is perfectly fine saying that this is what the Iphone shmup game should have been. The graphical problem with Iphone version is that the transparencies of the effects have been turned off into darkening them apart and the gameplay problem is that it’s not easy on the smaller screen.

Meanwhile, the modern destructive war had apparently begun as we know and there's no way this can be stopped. Apparently, there may be misunderstanding but of course not. There may be admits that such true involvements have been happening. Everyone's time is running out and there's no rights for us to stop this even if someone has the power to freeze time forever that such destructions from outside will be left unaffected.

One more trip in February 12th

The title said it all and it appeared that I made a visit all by myself as no one even cared about the assembly venue on where to assemble before taking a path to visit so I established the path myself starting from my home all the way there through the bus and train services. The only thing to mention was the train service in which I took from Tampines to Paya Lebar then followed by Circle Line which was all the way from Paya Lebar to Serangoon. Lastly, the last station was Pungol from Serangoon. Now on to the mini train service part around Pungol which was more complicated to know. Reaching that train station, I was really confused on where to start going but there was a map of knowing where to go and according to the venue I wrote on my personal book, it appeared that Block 101B was located at Pungol Field which had to be located at PE1 Cove. Also, the Pungol Field was extended to three stations. What the heck anyway? How can a huge area get divided into multiple stations like that in a confusing way? Unfortunately, I arrived at PE3 Coral Edge instead of PE1 Cove maybe to know like my uncle lives at 128C at Coral Edge. So, I took a walk from Coral Edge to Cove around Pungol Field through a bunch of roads that were cutting and dividing Pungol Field into sections and stations. Finally, after arriving at Cove 101B, I had to know the house unit to reach my class advisor’s home for one more Lunar New Year celebration. There in that house, the lunch was somewhat prepared similarly to my friend’s home the other time in the celebration. However, it was nothing more technological as it has a computer with its own Chinese Input Tablet thing along with the external card reader device. Also, the desktop monitors nowadays have more support just like HDTVs. Lastly, there was the HD Media Player in the living room containing the movies I had watched like Tron Legacy and The Fifth Element. For The Fifth Element, I had no complete knowledge about that at first but there was a game based off that movie and most games based off the movies are pieces of shit. If Windows Phone 7’s UI can be like Tron Legacy or maybe gaming and advanced multimedia GUIs, that should be it. Otherwise, the whole interface should be like Tron Legacy anyway with lots of transparencies and glows everywhere while retaining the animations.

HD Media Player Get!

No club activity today as I realized as those in charge of the club are likely to be having meetings. Maybe this is like Life Skills all over where things are underrated for reasons unknown.

Meanwhile after that time, I entered the shop again to buy the HD Media Player costing $130+. Another thing to plan is the USB 3 device but I guess that the problem is as the same as USB 2 devices plugged in to USB 1 ports. So it’s like you can plug in the USB 3 devices into USB 2 ports to get the same problem. The problem is about the speed of the USB communication but that will go away if you plug USB 3 devices into USB 3 ports for instance. Unfortunately, most things nowadays are still using USB 2 ports so I don’t know what’s specially new about USB 3 ports as I don’t see whatever mistakes or problems within USB 2 ports. So, the plan to buy the USB 3 devices may be unnecessary and scrapped.

However, there’s one problem from networking properly, the manual doesn’t involve Windows 7 entirely so I don’t know how the heck. Another thing is that IPv6 support isn’t there completely at all for that media player so all is left is to keep using USB storage devices if you want to view these media files.

So, I bought this HD Media Player to become pretty on par with those who have the HD Media Player at home but the question is, what am I going to use it for?

Announcements

WMA versions of the respective arrangements I did will be out in Windows Live Skydrive with the use of n-Track Studio. I don’t know how the heck to use it other than using the highest quality frequency so WMA versions will be using 192000 for the True HD so don’t expect the duplications on the tube.

Bought another D-Link DIR router!

So it appears that my DIR-600 router doesn’t have the IPv6 support because its hardware revision is different. You know, removing or disabling IPv6 support on those previous routers are like I don’t know what to say. Then what happens before IPv4 is bound to run out, well, buy another router? Guess what, I bought the DIR-615 router that is IPv6 ready and I might have wasted my money of less than $100 on that DIR-600. Then, I managed to get things ready to set up the tunnel for IPv6. Using Tunnel Broker, you can eventually copy the info into the router IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel entry boxes such as Remote and Local addresses for both IP protocols. Also, there’s multiple types of DNS for IPv6 so I don’t know if there are multiple types of DNS for IPv4. However, there were configuration problems of IPv6 settings for my DIR-615 router to be applied for the rest of my home network for some reasons.
  1. My broadband router which is the main one doesn’t happen to have the IPv6 support at all so you don’t see those things there although the ISPs happen to have the IPv6 trial run.
  2. Only DIR-615 router is the one at home that has IPv6 support but even with this router, that’s not going to help while IPv4 will be running out.
  3. My college doesn’t even teach me IPv6 things at all and it still keeps going on in having me to learn other networking components so I might have screwed up the configuration or something.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t even apply the tunnel broker settings straight to my DIR-615 router as something couldn’t even fit well.
So, I eventually connected my DIR-615 router from the LAN port of my broadband router to the Internet port of the DIR-615 router so that I can gain access to the Internet using the broadband router while trying to extend the networking range using DIR-615 router. This may mean that DIR-615 router is connected but to get Internet access using it from the broadband router, I made the DIR-615 router obtain the DHCP addresses. Secondly, I connected the cable to the LAN 1 port of the DIR-615 router to the computer perhaps for network configuration. Lastly, the other LAN port of the DIR-615 router was for connecting another cable to the Internet port of the DIR-600. So the main wireless network range extender is now the DIR-615 instead of DIR-600 as the IPv4 is running out that I did another major networking maintenance again.
Progress
It appeared that I already finished the arrangements of Battle For The Last Vocal version as well as reupdated the In-game version. However, this arranged soundtrack isn’t YouTube appropriate so I don’t want to get found out like this.

Bejeweled 3 Arrived

I usually had a plan to purchase that Namco PSP classic game compilation but it seemed to me that someone got that copy before I did so I purchased Bejeweled 3 instead after rechecking Tampines Mall shopping complex for the re-change of the Time-Zone arcade center. Apparently, After Burner Climax cabinets were still there but I can't guarantee if my arcade nemesis is still there, spying on me like this so having a bodyguard is required to bodyguard the machines in case of further technical problems while I'm playing those games. Maybe the cover about my skills is blown but doesn't mean the nemesis can be jealous of good gamers out there. Also, I talked about the latest Microsoft Office I already purchased the other time and I was requested to do the complete uninstallation before doing the re-install. I don't know if the activation still doesn't work or not after this but it seemed that I still have the product activation problem although Office Genuine Advantage is of no more. And just like that, I still have the plans to go to the arcades at Pasir Ris maybe to try Muchi Muchi Pork as I had already completed Espgaluda and Mushihimesama Futari in the arcades. Also, I had already tried out Manomoro in the arcades like once in more favor of more interesting Cave shmup games.

Butterflies Mode may have something to make me imagine that I’m bring these butterflies to either NeoseekerDarkKnight or perhaps Yuyuko but the tune may have something to remind me of the themes of Yuyuko and Suika. If the score is damn low like that for the whole run, that will be a waste like Yuyuko may be angry over in-sufficient butterflies. Some modes may be difficult to score high elsewhere Poker mode is something I avoid and dislike of because it ruins the studies.

The problem against me using Microsoft Office after 30 days is that I already tried out the trial versions first before I bought Home and Student Edition full version. I already uninstalled the trial versions but something seemed not right. I was not able to activate the full product and it still said trial version like that. There must be errors against activation so no further modification after the installation. If the reinstallation doesn’t work, I may have to contact Microsoft over this support.

Two new games arrived

I forgot to mention and record my home activity like that for buying these two games. One is Bejeweled Blitz and one is Star Soldier Remake.

First of all, I bought this remake of Star Soldier for the PSP. It’s such a rare copy that it’s for collectors and fans of shmup and Star Soldier. It’s nothing terrible judging from the gameplay. It’s the controls you have to get used to because the entire game is vertical mode at all. I somewhat got clobbered about those two ships that I prefer the third ship which is the purple ship. It comes in handy like shooting a laser in a way of classic shmup games with the laser weapon. However, the main power comes backwards and the first ship doesn’t even help a lot. Lastly, the controls can be awkward at first for playing portable console games in vertical mode. As there are so many things to wipe out in this game, it looks like this game is also quite fun. However for mini bosses, I also got clobbered about trying to destroy them at right speed. It’s like I was destroying other things with the Blaster weapon while dealing with the mini bosses. That can give me the destructive feel. Hell, I even felt like getting arcade experience from this game that this game should deserve the arcade port. Seems that the PS2 and GC versions have the actual slowdowns but not that much as Gradius V in terms of graphics. I wish I can wipe out these mini bosses quickly like in this video. I guess I did but that’s not quicker enough due to silly firepower. That is to try out in 5 Minutes Mode. You can turn on and off the Auto-Fire thing as well as configure the control buttons on the remake but what’s the good point for the PSP version anyway that I have to keep holding my PSP like that?

Star Soldier IOSYS Remix

Secondly for Bejeweled Blitz, it’s more like a mini-game if you ask me but it contains achievements that you have to play again and again and again. There’s also other backported features from the upcoming Bejeweled 3.

Progresses

Last but not least, the Tropical Resort Arrange will consist of Act 1 and 2 and the progress hasn’t reached 100% yet. More arranges/sequenced works will be coming after Tropical Resort.

SITEX IT Show Exploration

The exploration was damn great but there were many too things to explore with like I had to go in one whole corner in a round. Strangely enough, the GPS devices are modernized as well as discovering additionally great USB devices and Google Android devices. Also, I already have an Acer laptop which is Acer Aspire 4740G that I didn’t even bother to take a look at other computers to avoid some kind of movie spoilers. For music videos, it’s surely full of popular K-Pop videos. Be it the music video or the live concert, either way, it’s an idol-like performance. One of those USB devices was a camera embedded with the flashlight which can be useful for bicycle users. The other one was a mini keyboard and when I controlled the mouse with it, it felt like you’re playing the flight or racing games. There was also the controller next to it that looked like what the Playstation 3 controller with the keyboard addon should have been. Next up was the phones. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any single Windows Phone 7 phone being shown which was a shame to this whole IT Show. There were popular GPS devices like those from TomTom for example where you can do the touchscreen thing. Unfortunately, GPS devices are not on par with the modern mobile devices with multi-touch screen support and modern interface animation. You may ask if those devices are like powered with Windows CE or something. There were also Media Center DVRs which are hard to buy at shopping complexes as well as various NAS devices and even Portable Internet TVs. Strangely enough until this year or next year, there was the first portable Internet TV launched two days ago in this country.
Overall, this IT show is a must go if you feel interested but that Drag Toilet Paper flash game contained shitty controls and the GPS devices are somewhat inaccurately embedded so that they can be on par with various modern mobile devices. I want the tapping method instead of constant sliding.
