Booktopia will move to online only service

Read about this from Bibliophile Stalker‘s blog.

Booktopia will be shifting to an e-commerce service next year.  The last day of their physical store in Intrepid Plaza, Libis will be on 2009.01/04 (that’s the 1st Sunday of 2009).

Since I left my office in Libis, I’ve been hard pressed to go to the area and visit that [...]

Steam’s on a Holiday Sale until 2009.01/02!

Steam is having a holiday sale! From now until 2009.01/02, there are discounts on everything! The discounts range from 10%-75%, so there be bargains here and there. Portal and Team Fortress 2 are definitely steals at 5 and 10 bucks (though why not just get both and more for 27 bucks?).

I wasn’t [...]

Late in the game for Team Fortress 2

The Orange Box was released on 2007, so getting it just now (as mentioned in my previous post) makes me a bit late in the game.  My system can barely run Portal, and I’ve even run out of virtual memory (a problem I rarely encounter).

Still, in my bone-headed desire to fill the time until I [...]

All I need now is the new PC

My SO was cool enough to get me Left 4 Dead for her xmas present! Thanks, sweetie! ^^

All I need now is for the new PC to arrive and I’ll be set for the holidays!

— update 2008.12/22 —

It seems I won’t be getting my new PC anytime this year, so no Left 4 [...]

Some maintenance here and there

Second to the last weekend before xmas. Shops, malls, and restos are packed with people buying gifts and attending parties. Traffic scaled as much, even late at night the traffic is like it was still 7pm. I don’t like going head-on with that.

So I got myself some takeout and decided to just [...]

Well, they’ve got enough BALLS to release the trailer…

… unfortunately, it does nothing to improve an already highly skeptical ambiance towards the upcoming movie.  Not a surprise, really, just a teaser for the disappointment to come on 2009.03/13.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, perhaps both… but not in a good way.

I first saw the trailer at Tor, then at Kotaku, not that it helps my [...]

Packaging Sucker

I’m regretting I ever asked a local PC game retailer regarding the availability of Left 4 Dead.  I already had my mind set on squeezing a few more months off my 4 year old PC.  It’s not wheezing yet, as long as you don’t try to feed it anything the young ones are having.

Then, I [...]

There’s fraggin’, and then there’s puzzle fraggin’

The past week was filled with rave reviews on Left 4 Dead.  Since I already got myself a steam account last week, and since I’m assuming you’ll need Steam anyway to play Valve games, I was considering purchasing Left 4 Dead online so I can finally get my feet wet with multiplayer FPSs.

Two things gave [...]
