A friend of mine who recently came back from his holiday Down Under passed a copy of FHM Australia’s March 2009 issue. Ahh. Now this is a much more classier, cooler, hotter, nicer (you can put together all the nice adjectives here) compared to the Malaysian rag we have here. The articles are quite good, [...]

And perhaps stamp collectors as well. I didn’t know that there were stamps released in Ayumi Hamasaki image. Well, now you and I both know that the Ayumi Hamasaki 10th Anniversary Stamps were released in June 2008 to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of her debut. This series of 10 stamps features the images of [...]

Speed Racer Blu-Ray is probably the most colourful HD experience I’ve encountered so far. Everything seems to pop out of the screen and if you haven’t seen this mostly misunderstood and underated movie by Wachowski brothers, do make it a point to do so. The special effects need to be seen to be appreciated, and [...]

Hey girlfriend! The other day I was in this forest, and this warcat feline warrior thinghy ambushed me! I got so pissed thinking about the last fight I got with one of these creatures and I pouted and boom! It disappeared! And there was this time…I had my new fur boots get all muddy walking [...]

Actually, the title ought to be singular as I only bought one movie this month. I spent RM 70 bucks purchasing a second hand Speed Racer Blu-Ray without asking much questions. It turned out to be a US Region Blu-Ray in immaculate condition and it came with a bonus DVD AND the digital copy of [...]

Neca’s Street Fighter IV Series 1 is out now, and you need not defeat Shen Long to get ‘em all . Featuring old favourites Ryu and Ken, as [...]

Hmm. I should have pointed out that in the last video game box art post, that Western box art tend to depict the protagonist as heroic whereas Japanese box art borders on the nonsensical. Case in point: Wario Land Shake a.k.a Wario Land Shake It in its American release: The North American cover has Wario [...]

Fireworks and firecrackers. They are pretty much a bane to anyone who wants a good night sleep. Originally a Chinese invention and one that was most commonly used to celebrate Chinese New Year in Malaysia, you can find almost every race playing with these noise makers during their own festivals. It’s quite easy to read [...]

IGN DS has an article on Japanese games that they would love to see translated and made available in the States. Should they need to convince Nintendo to do so, they should point out to Nintendo that there’s an active community out there striving to translate these Japanese works and these guys look to be [...]
