I’m pleased to report that there’s a food vendor selling stinky tofu (a.k.a “chow tau fu”) at Setia Alam’s night market. Although the smell is not as strong as the one selling at Taman Connaught, it managed to put off people walking within 4-5 meters of the stall. In any case, I love stinky tofu. [...]

The following new Need for Speed Shift in-game footage will make you go ooh-la-la and you might probably want that car as well, the BMW E92 M3 GT2.  Well good news, it’s all yours (in-game of course) as a pre-order bonus at Game Stop and this special offer applies to both online and in-store customers. [...]

This you have to check out, a Space Invaders coin box that doubles up  as a functional (albeit mini) Space Invaders arcade machine! Measuring just 17 cm * 11 cm * 11 cm and powered by 3 AAA batteries, TakaraTomy’s Space Invaders Coin Bank accepts any coins similar to that of the Japanese 100 yen [...]

Nothing beats the smell of coffee in the morning, except maybe the smell of burning rubber on tarmac and high octane fumes for these guys. Aside from being professional race car drivers, what do Andrea Bertolini, Chris Rado, Tommy Milner and Vaughn Gittin Jr. have in common? Well, all four of them are assisting developer [...]

Malaysian Sony PSP owners, I bet some of you have faced this when you purchased your console. It’s common practice for retailers (not Sony Centre-types) to sell the PSP in a “package” consisting of the console, charger, battery, an 8 GB Memory Stick, screen protector, pouch, earphones with remote and USB cable. This brings about [...]

It’s heartening (and in fact, downright admirable) to see developers biting the bullet and fixing buggy software, and that’s the case with SNK Playmore and their recently released game, The King of Fighters XII for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. While the game’s online problems are pretty much all over the Internet, the following [...]

With regards to the missing Adidas King of the Road Run participant that I wrote about on Sunday, I’m sorry to write that Gary Leon Robert was found dead yesterday in a tunnel (basement) of the Shah Alam Stadium. This is very sad news, since my friends and I were participants in the race as [...]

I took to the ‘Net earlier today with the online mode for The King of Fighters XII, but instead of squaring off with international players, I had several matches with some local players. Boy, what a difference it made with a practically lag free experience and I pretty much got schooled by them. It’s safe [...]

Several years ago at a noisy arcade at the top of MBK, Bangkok, I bear witness to my colleague blazing through the entire game of King of Fighters in a single sitting with no continues. As I was picking up my jaw from the floor due to that spectacle, I realised that even though KoF [...]

This year’s race was held at a place with much better parking facilities for a change, the Shah Alam Stadium, and the 10 km event was replaced with the 11 km  event. Strangely I felt that the distance ran was longer than described, but maybe it’s because of all the inclines one would have to [...]
