I received my copy of The King of Fighters XII for the PS3 yesterday afternoon, and upon play-testing it, there were some initial pros and cons to take note of. And for the first time, my Dual Shock 3 controller has experienced a proper shakedown. A proper review will be coming up soon, but if [...]

You’ve probably seen the cheaper versions of the official King of Fighters XII fight sticks by Joytron (click here for the original post), now check out the two high-end offerings from Exar, both of which are compatible with the Sony Playstation 3.

I was watching Watchmen the other day, and an interesting scene came about involving Rorschach, and his namesake, the Rorschach test. His answers were contrary to what he actually thought of when he saw the inkblots. While this makes the test hardly reliable, how about turning it on its head and making the inkblots as [...]

I don’t know bout you, but I find Jon Krakeur’s book, Into Thin Air, very riveting. It’s probably because climbing, or in my case, hiking up a mountain is a pretty appealing idea just like how nasi lemak is for most Malaysians. Reading the book (with a dozen over new books in my room, I [...]

Well, if you were to watch a pirated DVD movie, you’ll encounter a warning message of a different kind.

Zombies & Me. We always shared a love and hate relationship. I always loathed that they wanted nothing more than my brains, and I always loved the way they break apart when I blew them to bits with an assortment of handguns. Ahh…such good times. But when all else fails, and zombies take a turn [...]

There are several movies that I would like to watch this year that are not touted as sure-fire blockbusters.
