Bug Attack!

While driving, my foot started itching, so I gave it a scratch. Pretty soon, my hands started itching too, then I started feeling the heat slowly climbing my neck to my face. It was a familiar thing, and I knew that if things didn’t get controlled, things might get ugly.

Those of you who [...]

Big City

While looking for a simple meal in SM Mall of Asia, my friends and I ran into Big City. It’s basically a hot-dog place, which is just the simple type of food we were looking for, so we gave it a try.

They have 3 basic types of hot-dogs, locally made dogs, Nathan’s (imported beef [...]

It’s Like Riding a Bicycle

I’ve been reading some “game of the year” articles here and there, and among the stuff I’ve found was Company of Heroes. It’s reputed to be one of the best modernizations of the RTS genre, and manages to blend good realistic visuals with a focus on tactics instead of build management. It got [...]

Bangu-Bang Mania!

Apparently, there’s a Filipino startup game development company called Virtual Titania Amusement Software (VITAS) Development that’s making an online game to be called Bangu-Bang Mania!. hackenslash.net says it’s a casual fighting game inspired by Super Smash Brothers. Beta starts early next year.

Hulchul

My SO and I decided to have some Indian food last night, and in the place where we ate, they were showing a Bollywood film. The film was Hulchul, and the production seemed to be pretty good. It seemed just a tad lighthearted, so we decided to watch the rest of the film intently [...]

hackenslash.net now on YouTube

hackenslash.net, one of the Philippine’s gaming news websites, now has an online video channel in YouTube which they are calling hackenslash TV. I haven’t seen the videos posted yet, but I’m assuming it will be an avenue for some Philippine video-game related items that they feel would look good on a video reel.

hackenslash.net is [...]

Joseph Barbera: 1911.03/24 – 2006.12/18

Joseph Barbera, co-founder of the Hanna-Barbera animation production company, died last 2006.12/18 from natural causes at the age of 95.

Hanna-Barbera gives fond memories of Saturday morning cartoons I watched when I was a kid. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, The Flinstones, Super Friends, and many other animated products they produced, as I’m sure [...]

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny

Since Eragon won’t be out for a while (no, I haven’t read the book), there doesn’t seem to be any movie to watch. So we decided to watch “Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny“. It starred Jack Black, and I did enjoy his other movies (School of Rock and Nacho Libre), so [...]

Free No Limit Hold’em Tournament at Pacific Poker Palace Philippines

I couldn’t sleep well this morning ‘coz of some ideas swimmin’ in my head, so I decided to surf a bit to wear myself down. I ran into this while surfing. Apparently Pacific Poker Palace Philippines (ACF Poker?) is hosting some Hold’em games (limit and no-limit) at Casino Filipino’s Airport Casino. [...]
