Stuff to celebrate sofar this November

Lot of things to be happy about in November, and the month ain’t even over yet!

For starters, several local events happened:

Binil Custom Toy Exhibit
secretFRESH opening
Komikon 2010

In terms of indie video-game accomplishments, Super Crate Box and Super Meat Boy‘s streak of glowing reviews continue to pour-in, and Minecraft has reached more than 600k alpha access units sold!

Starcraft2-wise, [...]

Scott Pilgrim vs The Trailer

VS

A personal letdown is when I hold-off reading something for long periods of time only to go back when a movie adaptation is coming-up (bad darthvid, no twinkie!); It makes me feel dirty (“riding the trend train” dirty).

I read Precious Little Life shortly after vs The Universe got published (late in the game, [...]

For your favorite SysAd

Now THIS is “devotion to duty”:

To all the SysAds I’ve had the pleasure of working with… thanks for the uptime!  (^_^)–b

Some old nostalgia/high-school comedy pinoy graphic novels

After a long decision period and a little flipping through, I decided to finally get the following graphic novels:

Martial Law Babies by Arnold Arre

I loved Arnold Arre’s The Mythology Class; even bought it when it was first published in single issues (and lost all of them -_-;  ).  Flipping through this in the store [...]

Metro Comic Con 2009

Managed to get Pol Medina Jr.‘s autograph at the Metro Comic Con 2009 last week!

Not sure if it’s because we went there on the last evening (Sunday), but I was glad that I could breathe around.

Went home with these in tow. ^^

Thank Akibakada for brightening a doleful day

This Monday in particular didn’t start-off too well for me, I was pretty down for much of the day.  Good thing I decided to drop by National Bookstore and look around, else I wouldn’t have noticed that this was already out:

I’m not sure how long Akibakada‘s (Beerkada #9) been available, I’m [...]

Ever wondered why nobody wants to publish your “ground breaking” book?

Bibliophile Stalker‘s Links and Plugs for today just pointed me to the answer/s to that very question via Allan Mott’s “50 Reasons No One Wants to Publish Your First Book” list.  The entries are hilarious, some items almost being insightful.  But what really made this a must share was entry #43:

43. Writing a 97,236-word thesis [...]

Watch[men] 80′s style cartoons on a Saturday morning

Ah, TGIF.  But there’s nothing like waking-up to Saturday morning cartoons!

[OMFG!!!  I just LOVE all the irony and sarcasm they packed in that minute and ten!  \(^0^)/ ]

Who watched the Watchmen? I did, and you should too!

… well, you should if you’re willing to deal with a deep/heavy storyline involving personal issues, the nature of humanity, and supes.  The story ain’t for everybody, nor is the movie.

If you still don’t know, Watchmen is a movie directed by Zack Snyder based on a 12-issue comic of the same name, which was written [...]

Yep, this happened to me with TF2

This pretty much sums-up my 1st experience with Team Fortress 2, even if the comic was based on the 360 version.
