Firefox Metro version delayed to January next year

The Metro version of the Firefox browser is supposed to be released sometime in December this year for Windows 8 and above but due to the decrease of the average team velocity, it seems that the amount of time taken to work will be longer than usual. For the Metro version, the interface may look comparable to the Android version I’m using except that it is much more solid than ever. For the mobile version, the tabs bar can be toggled with the button on the top-left so if you’re in Vertical orientation mode, the tabs bar will be on top for example. It may look comparable to the one in IE metro version although you still can’t move the tabs for whatever reasons, I don’t know. The good thing about Firefox Mobile version is that you can still synchronize your stuffs from your computer to your mobile devices although it can’t be the same for the addons and other stuffs. For Windows 8 tablet users, you can still use Firefox desktop edition with addons and stuffs for price sake or something but the desktop interface doesn’t seem to be touch-friendly so you may need some mouse for that.

Puyo Puyo Tetris

To be ultimately great in Tetris, you should have tolerated through the 20G speed and cleared the game like that as that speed is seriously difficult but hardcore to be eligible in becoming a true hardcore Tetris player. That is the famous hardcore feature ever since Tetris The Grandmaster series. Sure, there’s even the Marathon Mode as played in various Tetris games but things don’t seem to be that hardcore enough so it’s quite tolerable although further levels are when things are starting to get difficult.

And speaking of Tetris games today, I expect such a speed like that as well as the modern controls and smoother gameplay. For Tetris Battle on Facebook, I found things kind of laggy so fuck it. At least you can have played those epic Tetris games made in Japan instead even if they are doujin games or some sort.

Now comes the collaboration of Puyo Puyo and Tetris in which Sega and The Tetris Company are not kidding about, you can choose whichever gameplay type you like and then commence the battle. Sure, when it comes to battle, you may have sent a bunch of nuisance blocks to your opponent’s field so you may have encountered that kind of battle in various Tetris games that have the VS modes. Also, I may expect such a very high speed in this upcoming game that will be released next year.

And speaking of the game’s release, it will be released for Wii U, 3DS, PS3 and PS Vita. I don’t know if this will be in Asian PSN so that I can get this in the future.

Beatmania IIDX Tricoro Gameplay Report Sep 13th

Damn, looks like I failed the third level of Skill Analyzer in SDVX II which was fucking bad by the way but I believe that Skill Analyzer and Dan Certification Modes are not likely to be my first steps anymore. Even with progress made, I may still be stuck.

Progress-wise for IIDX Tricoro, I might have attempted the songs like Smooooch, Sayanora SUPERSTAR, Re:Generation, Freeway Shuffle, Follow Tomorrow, Blue Straggler, etc. The song names mentioned here and attempted this week were the ones I previously arranged the last time and posted the arrangements on YouTube but I also chose the songs whom I did not arrange at all times.

Maybe next time, I will try to attempt the SDVX songs in Standard mode like Daily Lunch Special, Smooooch, Hallelujah, Butterfly-cat, Freeway Shuffle, Trigger Happy, etc. I already unlocked Trigger Happy as well as some Touhou songs but man, there sure are many Touhou arrangements as well as so many Vocaloid songs there. Nowadays, there are even Vocaloid songs which I’m familiar with as well maybe because they are also in Sega rhythm games today in addition to SDVX II.

California schools being spied?

You know, this is one of the stupidest ideas ever fulfilled in California schools to spy on the students like in case whatever school offense or any lazy thing is bound to happen. Indeed, having to monitor all students’ performance and behavior like that is one of the stupid ideas because nobody cares for those ideas by the way.

Now, you can sign the petition here at http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/schoolspying/ to take action against that spying idea because if nothing is done to stop it, then the spying may eventually spread. Even worse is that other US School Districts have already tried this method as well. However, the good information is that a few years ago, it was said that it is illegal to spy on the students in Pennsylvania. Well really, those fools? Even the personal and mobile gadgets of the students are pretty much affected by the spying stuffs as well as if it can’t be helped. We don’t know if even private browsing is going to help either and especially when the gadgets boot up the other operating systems which are not affected by the spies.

Bitlocker the technical betrayal?

Articles about the NSA and FBI stuffs are everywhere in the globe and wiping them out is one of the stupid orders/plans like what someone already issued in wiping out hard disks containing leaked documents of the evil spying motives at The Guardian. According to some article I discovered, it seemed that there was some backdoor implemented inside BitLocker so that this evil spying can continue ever since the Windows Vista days.

Also, there is some progress going on from EFF, Fight for the Future, IDL, etc. that more stuffs are coming in on what those evil spying agencies have been up to. The targets range from computers, tablets, smartphones and even your private stuffs in US powered technology brands. However, to be frank, I have been SICK AND TIRED of talking and blogging about these as there’s no FUCKING END to this saga. If THIS is the BULLSHIT they’ve been continuing against the civilians, then there may be no point using technologies affected by that.

SDVX II First Run

OK, the timing has more ease than IIDX itself and especially for the inclusion of Skill Analyzer which is similar to IIDX’s Dan Mode but the Laser notes posed me the challenge like trying to turn the knobs to the beat properly.

Now, I started off with the Skill Analyzer when playing this for the first time from the lowest level. I’m at Level 2 right now but I don’t know when will I go any further. The input response is immediate, so is the one for IIDX machines at the Bugis Virtualland arcade.

Project Diva Arcade Gameplay Report Sep 9th Edition

What was some lady doing in the arcade asking me for stupid donations and so forth while I was playing? THIS IS BY FAR THE WRONG PLACE TO ASK FOR DONATIONS LIKE THAT? It’s like she wanted to cause any stupid trouble at the arcade. Imagine that this kind of donation thingy takes place at the Bugis arcades. I’m sure those asking for donations will be like out of luck.

Now, talk about the updates of the Tampines Mall Timezone arcade, it appears that the Maimai game is updated to Maimai Green and there are 5 PDA machines  now with the fifth one that is vulnerable to the players blocking some path but since the fifth machine addition was kind of recent, the touch screen interactivity surely worked on me like the cursor effect did not appear away from my finger when I tapped unlike other machines where their touch screen thingy is starting to become even worse. Unfortunately, it appears that the Maimai game is damn popular that the random groups of players have been playing it. I can’t be going to the arcades like everyday or so and each play is pretty damn short if you will.
