    August 12, 2008 Nintendo DS, Video Game News 2




    You guys have seen the official PSP Playstation Portable Cradle released by Sony back in April. That thing even comes with a remote! For those of you who haven’t, take a look over here. That aside, it’s the Nintendo DS Lite’s turn to have a cool looking cradle of sorts. Hori has just released the [...]

  • Giant Hypermarket Kelana Jaya Sells Expired Dog Food

    August 11, 2008 Musings 2




    Do you have a dog as a pet? If so, do you check the expiry date on the dog food packaging every time you buy one at your local store? Well, I hope you do. As humans, I think we would make quite a fuss when served expired food, and if pets could talk, they [...]

  • Do More Than Scratching Your Supercar in GRID (NDS): A Review

    August 10, 2008 Video Game Reviews 0




    Are Saleen supercars that fragile? I remember reading an article in FHM regarding the Gumball 3000 and that the unreliable supercar used by the writers in the race was a Saleen. Or was it something else? Time plays tricks on memory. One Shunt Too Many Or maybe the car IS reliable, and it’s really because [...]

  • Adidas King of the Road 2008: Much Nicer Than Last Year!

    August 10, 2008 Musings, Running 4




    I just got back from the Adidas King of the Road 2008 race at Shah Alam earlier today. My time for the 10 KM run? 1 hour 5 minutes and 14 seconds. Not bad for someone who took a break from running for a couple of months. No More Rubber Smell This year, the Adidas [...]

  • Extended Mario Addiction and Macross (PSP) Trailer!

    August 8, 2008 Musings, Video Game News 2




    I lent my GameBoy Micro (along with Super Mario Advance 4) to my girlfriend, and now she’s addicted to the game. Having played Super Mario Bros 3 as a kid, she’s probably better at playing that game compared to me. LOL. In other news, I want a PSP and the game shown in the trailer [...]

  • It’s-A-Me-Mario: Mario Bros. Addiction

    August 7, 2008 Musings 3




    The best part about Super Mario Advance 4 for the GBA isn’t really the updated version of Super Mario Bros 3, but the original Mario Bros game that comes along with it! I actually played this for an hour on the GBM before I slept last night. There’s something addictive in these retro games. Subject [...]

  • Windy X Windam: 2D Fighting With A Lot of Flying on the DS

    August 5, 2008 Video Game Reviews 1




    I’ve got a problem with Success’ newest 2D fighting game for the Nintendo DS, Windy X Windam. Having the need to unlock additional characters means that I can’t use Izuna (of the Unemployed Ninja fame) from the get-go. Like a Bird Windy X Windam features a small pool of fighters, 10 of them to be [...]

  • The ROM Report XIII – Quake II On Your Nintendo DS

    August 3, 2008 Homebrew, The ROM Report 0




    The last ROM Report was written like months ago, on how to run Sega MegaDrive games on the Nintendo DS. Pretty retro stuff huh. Well, in this edition of The ROM Report, we’ll take a look at something that I can relate better, running an all time favourite PC game of mine, Quake II on [...]
