Initial D: Initial H (parody on intro)

July 23, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

While browsing through the Initial D GBA movies I posted last week I also found Initial H!

It’s a parody on the Initial D intros done in something similar than MS Paint. IMO it’s drawn and animated very well! Even though it doesn’t look like it: it must have been a lot of work!!

The First Stage (original) unfortunately has disappeared. Probably the Youtube content match algorithm slashed that video out.

First Stage (second intro):

Second Stage:

Third stage:

Fourth stage:

And Takumi (AE86) versus Bunta (22B) in Fourth Stage:

Respect!

Initial D: Initial D World Eurobeat shoutcast stream

July 17, 2008 / banpei / 0 Comments

During programming at work I like to listen to some music because I can concentrate more and it makes me focus much more upon the progamming instead of being distracted by colleagues.

Today I really was looking for some Super Eurobeat because I needed to speed up the typing even more… So I started looking for an Eurobeat shoutcast stream. Then I discovered Initial D World opened a shoutcast stream featuring Eurobeat on the 16th of April last year. Talk about nice birthday present more than a year afterwards. ;)

They say that Eurobeat will be broadcasted at least 12 hours a day between 4:00 AM ~ 4:00 PM PST, and the rest of the time it will be filled up with DJ sets and some other music whenever needed. Currently it should be Trance and Eurobeat, however I currently only hear Eurobeat…

This is their current schedule:

You can find the stream here:

Aah, I still remember having the Initial D game on the GBA emulator… I tried and tried to remember all options, figure out what the best option per corner would be. But I sucked soooo hard at this game I gave up after trying it for a day or something.

It’s great to see some people collected their walkthough on Youtube now! Take this Keisuke vs Takumi walkthrough for instance:

I love the oldschool GBA music (mostly Eurobeat in sid/gsf/chiptune) and the graphics are very nicely animated as well! Those Wantanabes are really well done!

This is a lot better than those crappy Initial D flashgames I collected. ;)

Some other videos:
Mako (Sil80) vs Takumi
Nazakato (BNR32) vs Takumi
Shingo (EG6) vs Takumi
Bunta (AE86) vs Takumi
