Gold Plated Wii For Queen Elizabeth II

Sunday, May 31, 2009 | Labels: , , | 0 comments |




As if the Queen doesn't already have enough blings, Nintendo has given her a gold-plated Wii.

While I am not a Wii fanatic, I do however envy Queen Elizabeth II for two reasons.

1. She already has all the good things in life.
2. And yet she gets free stuff!

Life is just not fair.

Nostalgia: The Sega Mega Drive

Sunday, May 10, 2009 | Labels: , | 1 comments |


Back in the '80s up to the early '90s, my favorite video game console was the Sega Mega Drive or what we call here on this side of the globe as the Sega Genesis. I remember the debate that was going on at that time that the Mega Drive was superior, in terms of computing power, compared to the Nintendo SNES. I used to believe that until Donkey Kong Country came out. The graphics on that game was superb and Sega had nothing on its shelf to match it.

Anyway, I preferred the Mega Drive and I'm not really sure why. Perhaps because it was cheaper than the SNES.

Let's Spread Firefox

I'm a strong believer that Firefox is the best web browser right now. Sure, each of the browsers has its own merits but overall, Firefox is the winner. It can be the relative speed, the plugins or addons, the frequency of updates or its top-notch security.

So I am asking everybody who happens to drop by this post to please use Firefox. Spread the word.

Missing the First Diner Dash

Wednesday, May 06, 2009 | Labels: | 0 comments |

I'm considering getting Diner Dash again, either here on my laptop or on my PlayStation Portable. I first played it about 3 years ago and I really had so much fun with it. I was playing it at the office during break time, together with another addicting game: Worms Armageddon.


Those were really fun days! I remember we used to hold competitions as to who can advance Flo the farthest and the quickest, considering that we only had an hour's lunch break. I never won at Diner Dash (although I was a pretty good player with Worms) maybe because I had no strategy. I mean, I didn't even bother to match the color of my diners to the color of the seats to get extra points.

Anyway, I miss the point and click action that this game brings so maybe I'll go ahead and get it.


My Eee PC Is A Year Old!

Tuesday, May 05, 2009 | | 0 comments |

My Asus Eee PC has just celebrated its first birthday. We've been together through thick and thin, and I've learned a lot of things while I was using it, both personal and professional.

Anyway, I blogged about it at my other blog, PinoyCopywriter.com.

Dofus

Monday, May 04, 2009 | Labels: , | 0 comments |

I play only one online game and it's Dofus. Before I was skeptical about these games thinking that they are just a major waste of time. But a friend who has been playing Dofus for quite some time asked me to try it. So I thought there's no harm to it, it's just one try. But what did you know? That one try got me hooked!


:)

Now I'm a paid subscriber and I get to visit all the places in Dofus although my character's still very weak at just 43 level. It's an Osamodas by the way. I can't wait till I get the Punch of the Crackler then I can defeat more enemies and can easily level up.

PinoyCopywriter Has a New Home

| Labels: | 0 comments |

My other blog, PinoyCopywriter.com, now has a new home. By home I meant a new hosting company. The previous one I have been with for almost a year already but their service was turning into worse the past couple of months.


I kept on sending a support ticket to them usually about my blog being down or that instead of the new template showing up, it was still the old template with my still then un-updated posts.

It was really a pain in the neck dealing with them so when I got tired of submitting support tickets, that's when I started looking for another hosting.

Oh, and one of the things that my blog suffered from was the lost of readers. A couple of blogging friends emailed me that whenever they tried to visit my blog, it was always down. Tsk. That was it for me. It was time to move.

And so I did and so far everything's a charm.
