Xbox One Child of Light《光明之子》Part 04 - 06

Part 04 — 小丑女

歐若拉按照森林女士的指引向西邊前進，尋找荊棘之樹（Tree of Thorns）。在其中一間天空之屋前，她遇到迷惑的小丑女露貝拉（Rubella）。雖然露貝拉的說話和用字非常奇怪，但為了尋找獨自離開的弟弟，她決定與歐若拉同行。因此我們的隊伍便多了一個能作戰的隊友，不過露貝拉是著重回復的角色，攻擊方面還是要依賴歐若拉。由於有了飛行的能力，我們能順道打開早前遺留的寶箱，利用所得到的寶石來強化角色。在空中自由自在飛翔探索的同時亦不忘打打怪獸，提升角色的等級。

Part 05 — 攔路的巨人

無論是天上還是地上也隱藏了不少寶箱，所以歐若拉不停地來回探索，嘗試將它們全部找出。隨著收集到更多的寶石，我們可以根據遊戲的提示試試合成寶石。其中一個組合是使用三顆不同顏色的寶石（分別是紅、藍和綠）便能製作出一顆不帶屬性的白色寶石。此外，三顆相同顏色的亦能合成為效果更強大的強化寶石，所以相信將來一定還有其他五花八門的寶石等著我們。當歐若拉來到荊棘之樹的入口前，她忽然遇到一名巨人阻擋她的去路。為了繼續前行，我們只好被迫與他一戰。

Part 06 — 荊棘滿途

荊棘之樹內果然是長滿又尖又長的荊棘，如果不幸被刺到會受傷扣減生命值（HP）。所以歐若拉在穿越荊棘之樹時需要份外小心，慢慢地飛。如果一旦不小心被刺傷，「微光」也能消耗他的魔力為她治療並回復少量生命值。途中我們遇到盆路，可以選擇往上或繼續向左面前進。最終我們決定先繼續往左面走，在盡頭發現了一條村莊。但奇怪的是村內一個人也沒有，只有一大堆不願離開的烏鴉。由於事有蹊蹺，所以我們必須入內作進一步調查，尋找失蹤的村民。

Frozen everywhere

On Thursday (Jan 8) night, I walked past a 759 store in the shopping mall nearby. They were having a special member discount for buying any regular price item, so I decided to go inside and see if anything worth buying. Then I saw this biscuit sticks with the famous Disney movie - Frozen printed on the box and it is called "Bourbon Elise Frozen Cast Stick - Double Choco".

Frozen and Hello Kitty together

As it is a regular price item, I got a 30% off discount for being a 759 store member. I used my special Xbox 759 member card which I got from the Xbox HK Christmas party for the discount. In the end, I could save HK$3.1 and only have to pay HK$8.1 for the snack. There is 8 biscuit sticks in total, so it is around HK$1 per stick.

Snowman at the back telling you the ingredients and nutrition information

There are some Japanese text written on top and I think it is related to the empty space next to the Snowman. Maybe Bourbon, the snack company, wants us to draw something there to match with the Snowman and background. Too bad I didn't have the time to draw that night.

The inside packing is same as the box

Time to open it and eat the stick

This Double Choco stick has two flavors inside, the top is filled with black chocolate while the end is white chocolate. You can choose which side to eat first but I personally like to eat it from the end.

White chocolate filling

Black chocolate filling

I like the white chocolate more as black chocolate is a very common flavor in similar product. But I don't understand the connect between the biscuit stick and Frozen. I guess the Double Choco is trying to represent the two main characters' hair color in Frozen. I think they can add more Frozen "flavor" to the snack like putting a sticker or pin inside. But of course it will definitely increases its production cost. Talking of money, I think the snack is kinda of expensive without the member discount and I don't think I would buy it with its original price.

Although I haven't finished the whole movie, I know Frozen is still very popular nowadays and it is on many different merchandises such as school bag, snack, toy, dress, book, pencil and notebook etc. I wonder how long will its popularity lasts.

《WWE Immortals》— WWE x Mortal Kombat 免費手機遊戲

上月摔角公司 WWE 宣布和華納兄弟合作推出免費的摔角手機遊戲，遊戲是由開發《真人快打》（Mortal Kombat）系列而聞名的 NetherRealm Studios 製作。近日這個夢幻的 WWE x Mortal Kombat 遊戲已正式公布，名為《WWE Immortals》，將於下週四（1月15日）推出，對應 iOS 和 Android 平台。

雖然 WWE 並沒有放出遊戲視頻，但從多張遊戲設定圖中已能夠完全感受到《Mortal Kombat》的風格，和 Yuke's 所開發的寫實型《WWE 2K》系列截然不同。一眾 WWE 摔角手將化身成為不同的超級英雄來戰鬥，不再單單是身材堅碩的摔角手。而部份造型也有參照各人在 WWE 節目上的角色定位和背景，如：一直被喻為 Super Cena 的 John Cena 就順理成章化身成為正義超人。

下列是暫時已知會登場的摔角手（圖片取自遊戲官方 Facebook）：

超人 John Cena

野蠻人 Big Show

羅馬鬥士 Roman Reigns

凱爾特戰士 Sheamus

萬王之王 Triple H（還要是經典的長髮版）

電力人 The Rock

火焰人 Brock Lesnar

最後當然還有女子摔角手，不過暫時只公布了兩名

孖生女劍士 Brie 和 Nikki Bella

在此同時附上《Mortal Kombat》系列的女角 Kitana 讓大家作比較…

只能說不愧是出自 NetherRealm Studios 的遊戲（笑）

雖然暫時還未知道《WWE Immortals》的玩法，但玩家普遍相信會和早前 NetherRealm Studios 所製作的《Injustice: Gods Among Us》手機版（同樣是免費的）相似，也是一對一的格鬥遊戲。由於它是免費手機遊戲（Free-to-Play），所以我相信遊戲將會有不少 Microtransaction，例如鼓勵玩家花真金白銀去購買裝備和道具等手法。這已經是大勢所趨的做法，只希望廠方不會做得太過份。不過根據前作的經驗，我還是對製作組有信心。

我曾經玩過《Injustice: Gods Among Us》的手機版，覺得不錯，因此我亦有點期待這個夢幻 Crossover 的新遊戲。起碼我看完以上這些設定圖後，覺得它比早前已購買的《WWE 2K15》還要有趣，更有吸引人的亮點。希望官方能放出更多設定圖，讓我們玩家看看其他摔角手在遊戲中會變成什麼模樣。相信遊戲還有其他摔角手登場，但我堅信一定不會出現《Mortal Kombat》系列著名的血腥終結技 — Fatality，所以大家不要期待出現超人 John Cena 一拳打爆野蠻人 Big Show 頭顱的場面（笑）。現在的 WWE 是要老少咸宜的！

Xbox One Child of Light《光明之子》Part 01 - 03

Part 01 — 睡醒

我們的女主角歐若拉（Aurora）一覺醒來發現自己來到神秘的世界並和身為公爵的爸爸分開了。為了尋找回到原來世界的方法，她只好跟隨在森林遇到的螢火蟲「微光」（Igniculus），結伴同行尋找等候著歐若拉的神秘女子（The Lady）。藉著「微光」所發出的光芒，我們順利通過遊戲第一個機關，開啟鎖上的大門。我們更在石像下取得一把寶劍，成功擊退邪惡的怪獸。雖然「微光」在戰鬥時並不會攻擊敵人，但他能夠發光來拖延敵人的動作和替歐若拉收集回復的光球。

Part 02 — 機關重重

倚靠「微光」的光，歐若拉順利穿越黑暗的山洞，繼續上路尋找這名神秘女子。自從有了「微光」後，我們便可以隔空取物，讓他替我們打開這些歐若拉觸不到的寶箱，不過當然有部份需要我們親自打開的。在其中一個寶箱中，我們取得一塊紅色的寶石，將它安放在不同的位置亦有不同的效果。在路上，歐若拉一直只以寶劍來斬殺敵人，但其後卻遇上飄浮的女鬼，需要使用光之魔法來擊退。再次藉著「微光」，我們成功通過重重的機關，預備開啟大門，與這名神秘女子見面。

Part 03 — 破解魔咒

大門終於被打開，進入室內後發現「微光」提及的神秘女子被魔咒封印在玻璃窗內，我們以配對顏色的方法來幫她解除魔咒。在成功之際，在兩旁的一對石像忽然動起來，襲擊歐若拉，展開遊戲的首次頭目戰。戰勝後，神秘女子終於現身，原來她就是森林女士（Lady of the Forest）。她告訴歐若拉，如果想回到原來的世界，歐若拉必須從神秘的黑暗女王（Queen of the Night）手中找回太陽、月亮和星星。為了幫助歐若拉即將展開的旅程，她給予歐若拉飛行的能力和一枝笛子。正當歐若拉想向森林女士追問有關笛子和爸爸的情況，她已經消失了。

Happy Birthday to Myself

Today is my birthday, so we have a family dinner outside and go back home for birthday cake. Unfortunately, we don't have a dinning table at the moment. A new table should be arrived around Jan 8, so we need to cut the cake on this small CD shelf.

The purple part is made with sweet potato, but something is missing ...

Of course a cake needs a "Happy Birthday" sign to become a birthday cake

 Now we are ready to make a wish and enjoy the cake

Although god already gave me the best present before 2015, I still received a "physical" present to celebrate my birthday.

As my old PSP (model 1000) is missing for a very long time, I decide to buy a PS Vita to replace it. I suspect my domestic helper has stolen it in my room but I don't have any evidence to prove it. But after I have cleared my whole room for the construction work, I still can't find my PSP in any of my drawers. So I think she must have taken it  but she didn't take the charger with her for some reasons.

There are a few colors available in my local game store. Originally I want to buy a blue PS Vita to match with my old PSP but there is only one blue color which is light blue/white. So I decide to choose a new color combination, lime green/white. It looks pretty good and I am very happy about the color.

Sony HK is having a Christmas and New Year promotion in these so called PlayStation® Platinum Shop. Every customer who bought a PS Vita will gets a free PS Vita soft case and 8GB memory card. That's why I don't have to pay extra to buy these essential items but I have pay HK$70 for the screen protector. As I am not a not PS Plus member, I think the free 8GB memory card is enough for saving the game data and I don't plan to buy a lot of digital Vita game on PSN.

Besides, I also pay HK$100 for the extend warranty for my PS Vita. Although my PSP doesn't have any problem for using over 5 years, I think it is a reasonable price to buy this extra 1 year insurance. But of course, I hope I don't need to use it in the future.

To celebrate the PlayStation 20th Anniversary, I receive a small prize for buying any PlayStation related product. At first, I think it is just a cute little decoration to put on my newly installed table.

But later I find out that there are actually four colorful masking tapes inside. The four colors, yellow, green, blue and red match with the traditional PlayStation logo which you can see on the previous picture. It even has the PlayStation mascot TORO cat printed on the tapes.

The game store owner also gives me a 3D Ubisoft Rabbids 2015 calendar as a bonus gift. I think this is some kind of gift for people who buy Ubisoft game such as the Rabbids series but I appreciate his offer anyway. Although the 3D calendar is pretty cute, it is very big and takes up a lot of space on my table. So hopefully I can find a good place to put it later.

One of the main reasons for me to buy a Vita instead of Nintendo 3DS is to play Persona 4 the Golden and this is the last Traditional Chinese copy in the game store. I am no problem playing the game in English but I definitely prefer Chinese version if it is available. After watching the Persona 4 Endurance Run on video game website Giantbomb years ago, I always want to experience this game by myself but I never have the chance. So I am very happy to finally able to play the enhanced edition of Persona 4 on my Vita.

Warning Warning !!!

The second Vita game I bought is Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus and it is the Hong Kong English version. Nowadays I usually like to buy the English version for most Japanese game as I don't have to guess what the Japanese text means. Unlike Persona 4 the Golden, I don't know much about the Senran Kagura series. So I think I will start playing this first and try out Persona 4 the Golden later.
