Namco Bandai has just unleashed one of the most eccentric looking fighting character for Tekken 7 – Yoshimitsu the Swordsman. The design is quite bold and striking as he has an octopus motive (sorry hentai lovers, no dice).

He is considered by many players as the most bizarre character ever to grace the virtual fighting arena since 1997, a ninja-samurai-alien-ghost-demon-kabuki personae that still have difficulty beating unarmed combatants despite armed with razor sharp sword (or swords in Tekken 7). By now, he is a veteran and constantly the butt of many jokes for his approach to fighting that’s hard to be taken seriously.

On other hand, his versatility is his strength, a true wonderful character to have fun with in terms of design and gameplay.

Amidst the preparation to launch Tomorrowland for the cinemas, Brad Bird’s next choice of movie might be The Incredibles sequel, the 2004 Pixar superhero movie.

During an interview with ColliderVideos, he responded to the question with : “Yeah, it feels like it to me, yeah.”
Last year, Disney’s CEO Bob Iger talks about possibility of Incredible’s sequel and the director himself told NPR earlier this year that he is already started to write on it. When he was asked about the progress of the writing, he casually mentions that few pages already written so far and he has a lot of ideas.

“I had a lot of ideas for the original Incredibles that I didn’t get a chance to use, ideas that I like. I have things that I wanted to pursue a little bit, and there wasn’t enough time in Incredibles. There are new ideas I have. And I think I have enough of those together to make an interesting movie.” he said in the interview.

Few days ago, Brad Bird tweeted an assurance to head off any story rumours of the sequel.

“Reports” have been saying a LOT of nonsense about the plot of Incredibles 2. Just relax. I’ve got this. https://t.co/3KFAJqaoS7

As for now, he is focusing on getting the latest movie released to the public soon on 22 May 2015.

Chaos Dragon gets epic announcement

[Review] Razer Seiren : A beast of the audio kind

By

Cheryl Bates

May 8, 2015

Razer released their first ever gaming microphone late last year, surprising the masses as the gaming giant took a step in a very different direction than its’ fans were accustomed to.

Named the Razer Seiren (pronounced Siren) the microphone is aimed to be a professional grade microphone for both the gamer, musician, podcaster and general streamer alike; and to fill an ever growing niche of people who record videos and music for YouTube and other streaming services.

Big bad microphone

Like most of Razer’s products, the Seiren is styled with copious amounts of black; with a hint of silver and of course, a huge glowing Razer logo in the front. As a side address mic, you simply need to leave it standing with the back end facing you to begin recording.

seiren4 — A mic of monstrous porportions

To put it very simply, the Seiren is quite huge. Standing at about 12 inches tall, the mic is shaped like a cylinder suspended on a heavy but stable, adjustable metal stand. In terms of adjustability you pretty much can just use it to position the mic tilt, but the screws are removable so it can be taken off and put back relatively easily.

The rear of the mic is where you will find a small backlit liquid crystal display that showcases your volume, gain levels and your modes, the volume knob and a very helpful lighted mute button. There aren’t enough mics out there that come with a dedicated mute button so the inclusion of one was a good move on Razer’s part.

The front of the device is where you will find the mode changing knob as well as the gain control. The Razer logo in the here is positioned in such a way that streamers with webcams will be showing off Razer’s branding (in fact, showing off the logo is one of the requirements for Razer’s YouTube streamer program) . It can however be switched on or off with a button located on the bottom of the mic.

The underside of the mic is where you will find a mini USB port, an audio jack, the lighting button for the Seiren as well as a standard mic stand mount which also serves as where you screw in the Seiren’s pop filter should you purchase one from Razer’s store.

Rokka no Yuusha has a visual key and trailer now

May 8, 2015

TV anime adaptation of Ishio Yamagata’s fantasy light novel, Rokka no Yuusha/六花の勇者 is on and now we have visual key and trailer to have a look of what is it all about. So far, five volumes of the light novel line is published since October 2011 under Shueisha’s Super Dash Bunko.

Director of the series is Takeo Takahashi (Spice and Wolf, Maoyu) with series composition by Tatsuhiko Urahata (Saki: The Nationals, Black Bullet) and chief animator/character design by Sayaka Koiso (RAIL WARS!). Prop designer gig fell to Yoshinori Iwanaga (Psycho-Pass, Log Horizon) then monsters are illustrated by Tatsuya Fukushima and finally music score is by veteran Michiru Oshima (Godzilla against Mechagodzilla, Fullmetal Alchemist). Studio Passione (Haitai Nanafa, RAIL WARS!) will be chief animator of the series.

The synopsis is the world is under threat by Majin (Evil God) which came from the bottom of the darkness. Because of its awakening, the god of destiny will take six individuals with special powers called “Yuusha” (heroes/braves) to combat the dark forces. Adlet Mayer who considers himself as the greatest in the world is chosen as one of the six heroes but much to his consternation and suspicion of other heroes, there seems to be seven Yuushas including him at the battlefield. Question is, who is the imposter?

It sounds intriguing enough, not your typical fantasy seinen ilk like most light novel stories. However, no announcement of when the series will be out though.
