When you start dreaming of adding counters to your thallids to create saprolings, thereby triggering the pumps in your Herd-Gnarrs, it might mean that you’re hooked. It might. Or perhaps you’re really just into thallids right now, like you were into Pokemon some years ago. Either way, I can’t sleep. It’s [...]
OK, Ghost Rider came out, and being a comics based movie, it was basically a must watch. I haven’t read any Ghost Rider comics before, so I’m unfamiliar with the lore involved. That could be a good thing since it will prevent me from expecting anything from the film based on previous experience. [...]
I already mentioned in a previous post that Magic: The Gathering is widely regarded as a well designed game. I’ve tried it before, but an average Philippine student’s allowance just can’t properly keep up with the game’s costs. Now, however, I can afford to get myself into it a bit. Tournament level… I don’t have [...]
Lately, my mind has been occupied by game design. Not necessarily video games (but included, of course), just game design in general. Last week, my thoughts were mainly occupied by Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and World of Warcraft: The Card Game (WoW TCG).

I ran into this press release regarding a comic book whose title was changed from “Superhero™ Happy Hour” to “Hero Happy Hour” because “the two big comic book companies” claim to own the trademark to “SUPER HEROES™”, and variations thereof.
I am very interested to know just when the “big two” registered this trademark, and whether [...]
Based on a play of the same title, The History Boys is about a group of top students in a school in Sheffield who are preparing to take entrance examinations in Oxford and Cambridge. In preparation, the boys are placed under the guidance of (mainly) two teachers with different styles and stress on their [...]
I thought Curse of the Golden Flower was a martial arts film, and I try my best not to miss any of those, it turns out it’s not quite that. It’s actually more of a drama/conspiracy movie, with some martial arts on the side. The movie is epic in scale, but the story [...]
The movie was nominated and won some awards, aside from being well received in the box-office, so it’s no surprise that my SO and I went to see it. Set in the time of the Mayan civilization before the Spanish came, the story revolves around one of the tribesmen who was part of a [...]
