Apparently local forum-going video game fanboys are made up of spam and drivel along with a healthy dash of sarcasm. But surprisingly, these “tough, caustic guys” were also quick to yell “Mommy!!!” and scream injustice when forum moderators decided to ditch (more like wave a magic wand and make invisible) a forum topic filled with [...]

I’m not really a fan of Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. The arcade-ish fighter sim (I know, simulator + arcade don’t go down too well together) just rubs me the wrong way. But hey, don’t let my comment prevent you from forming your own opinions on that game, not especially when it’s on sale at half price! [...]

When it comes to occupation, I really can’t imagine myself as a travelling salesman, going from door to door selling wares. The work seems incredibly hard, travelling from town to town (by bus, car or plane), living in motels, and a lot of talking with perhaps not so desireable outcomes. Take this back several centuries [...]

If you are ardent Final Fantasy Advent Children fan AND a fanboy who is simply going nuts waiting for Final Fantasy XIII AND your local store has just sold out on Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete (which comes with the FFXIII trial), don’t fret,  as Play-Asia is here to save the day. Still available [...]

I like Macross Frontier’s soundtrack, no secret about that, and while looking for music videos on Youtube, I stumbled into something more interesting. It’s a whole bunch of concert videos featuring May’n, voice actress for the character Sheryl Norme, singing quite a number of songs from the soundtrack. Here’s for your enjoyment (look out for [...]

For 99 cents, you can take someone’s eye off with the Gomu Gomu Hyper Launcher Gashapon, a modern day variation of the slingshot by famed gashapon makers Yujin. Measuring 4 centimeters when assembled, and while I’m just kidding about taking someone’s eye off with this, it shouldn’t be too difficult to increase the projectile launching [...]

It’s almost like playing one of those spot the difference games when you’re comparing the box art for The Dark Spire (American release) with its Japanese release, Genmu no Kiri to Ken no Okite which was released last year in Japan by Success. Aside from the obvious title change (but the fonts look really similar), [...]

Fans of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on the Nintendo DS, want in on the recently released manga in Japan but do not understand Japanese/or don’t know where to get it? Well don’t fret as some nice people have “scanslated” the manga into English and put it up in an easy to read web [...]

I’m beat. Today, I drove, with my girlfriend, through 4 States (Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Selangor) and stopped by on average, one place per State for some sightseeing and food. Starting from Pasir Gudang (Johor), our first destination was Yong Peng  for the fish ball noodles. The shop that we visited was pretty high [...]

Apparently I don’t.  I was stuck on the first level of Rhythm Heaven for like 5 minutes, having a difficult time getting the pegs in between the square pieces. Apparently I’m either flicking the peg right before or right after the cue. Maybe the strong cologne from the guy 8 meters away in the airport [...]
