Let's Do The News! (June 7, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

2014 Audi RS6 Avant

JC: What?

RH: What?

JC: What?

RH: Well, Mr. Harshy Pants, look what you just did to this... See this?

JC: Well, it's a teddy bear. I just bought it in the thrift store for actual demonstration of how much torque it can pull on the RS6. I tell you what...even with the quattro all-wheel drive, it still acts like a Brainiac for a sport wagon like this and with so much torque...I can't even tell what's next for Angry Mom to do with her kid when he reached strike three...

(audience laughing)

JC: All in the name of metaphors, of course...

(audience laughing)

RH: Yeah, right. All in the name of tortured metaphors like we always do all the time. Are you sure you really want the RS6 Avant to be sold only for angry parents who wants their kids to deserve severe provocations when they did something wrong?

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, can we do the news now?

JM: Okay, the news and hey! Does anyone watched the first game of the NBA finals? The one where last year's champs Miami Heat faces of against San Antonio Spurs?

JC: Oh yeah. Since you're a Heat fan, shame on you because the Spurs took Game One against Heat at the score of 92 to 88.

RH: Yeah, not bad for Spurs! We're on their side not like you, you were supporting on the side where Lebron James is king of the court.

(audience laughing)

JC: Yeah, you know. It was a great start at this year's NBA Finals for the San Antonio Spurs, probably thanks to Tony Parker's 21 point lead against the Heat. Anyway, post-game reactions, I've been looking at so many negative comments about this game and here's the latest I found on the net...


(audience laughing)

JC: Oh wait! There's more negative post-game comments...


(audience laughing)

RH: Wow! That's a lot of negative comments regarding Spurs taking over Game One against heat and when Spurs' own Tony Parker unleashed everything he got! Geez...aren't there any more negative post-game comments in the net out there?

JC: Well, a lot. But don't worry. There's more drama to this 2013 NBA Finals out there for Heat and Spurs as game one happens this Sunday (Monday if you're in Asia), thank you very much...

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, yesterday, we tackled more about the new generation Mitsubishi eK Wagon and its Nissan twin, the Dayz but there's more news to these two...and it's a bad one for the newbies...

(audience laughing)

RH: What do you mean, bad? They were there a day ago!

JC: Yes but we kinda forgot the other news regarding these newbies out there because during the launch date, there has been a recall for the new eK Wagon and Dayz and the recall involves on the problem with the installation of the high-mounted stop lamp that is installed on the upper tailgate.

(audience laughing)

RH: Now that's quite a minor setback for the newcomers.

JC: Yeah. Quite a major mistake to issue a recall for a new car when it reaches its launch date. Hopefully, that will never happen again and if that happen, that will became a commercial flop...

(audience laughing)

JM: Big news!

JC: What?

JM: I just heard that the guy who played counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer from 24 has been given the role as the English dub for Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V!

(huh)

JC: No...but...huh...wait! Seriously?

JM: Not a joke. It's the real deal! They mean it during the Konami Pre-E3 conference because ever since longtime English dubber of Snake, David Hayter, announced his retirement, many are speculating who will be the English voice of Snake in the upcoming MGSV: The Phantom Pain. There has been numerous candidates but the recommendation for the new Snake came from Avi Arad, who was very busy at the moment producing the Metal Gear movie. He said "Oh wait! Why don't you choose Kiefer Sutherland to be Snake for the upcoming sequel?" and then Kojima agreed to the decision from the movie producer.

JC: Kiefer Sutherland? The actor from 24 and Touch, gets to play as Snake on MGSV? That's quite an absurd idea but I like it. Having Jack Bauer playing as Snake would sound more dramatic and as dramatic as the Japanese 24 promo plugs with something that goes "ore wa Jack Bauer!"

(audience laughing)

RH: That's cool and this would be like "Ore wa Snake!" (speaking indistinct Japanese)

(audience laughing)

JC: Now anyway, while on the Pre-E3 for Konami, they even announced an upcoming Winning Eleven 2014 and Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 as well. Now what fascinates me about the upcoming WE2014 is that they're using a new kind of game engine that broadly similar to the one used on Metal Gear Solid V.

JM: What? You mean the FOX Engine?

JC: Uh...a bit more than that but the new game engine that will be using on the new game adds fluidity on the motion and it feels more like they're in reality even though they're virtual. I kinda like the way Konami tries to make their games feel like it came to life. Now as for the Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, it picks up where the epilogue from the original Lords of Shadow left off and in the sequel, you get to play as Dracula as you're fighting your way against immortality.

RH: Wha? Play as Dracula? No bleeding way man! That was utter cool!

JC: I know...Getting to play the role of a vampire is fun for this sequel, except of course some of the monsters on the sequel now has shields and requires precise attacking strategy to take down those new kind of enemies...

RH: Would there be zombies?

(audience laughing)

JC: Not sure but let's hope they're be zombies like the last one...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, back in December 2012, we bid farewell to the Lexus LFA supercar ever since the 500th and the last LFA was made and it was very sad to see it go. Anyway, here's another fitting tribute video on what makes the Lexus LFA great. Here it is...



(cheers and applause)

JC: Thank you and goodbye, Lexus LFA! Thank you and goodbye! And that is the end...of the news!
