Online Games: Dragonica
I am not really interested in playing online games :p. If I recall I started playing online games when Ragnarok Online first introduced in the Philippines. It was free back then. But when the game started having loaded cards to play, I stopped playing it. After a while a game called Gunbound was also introduce. Gunbound is a free-to-play, turn-based, room-to-room, multiplayer online game with many similar features to the popular Worms game series. I also got addicted to this game because it is free and it is very exciting to play. But I stopped playing it when i reached I think it was double gold axe level, a low level character. Honestly I get easily bored playing Muliplayer Online Games. Today I saw a new and exciting MMORPG called "Dragonica", it is a 3-D action side scrolling game.
It is a free-to-play game which includes a cash shop that allows for unique customization of player's characters. Players control a character in a three-dimensional plane but the scope of movement is mainly focused on the horizontal axis with limited vertical movement, much like the arcade style side-scrolling classics. In the next few days, I may TRY to play this one. :)
By the way I also saw a Dragonica inspired MTV. Featured on this video is the cosplay goddess of the Philippines, Alodia.

Samsung Galaxy Tab
Just found this new gadget from Samsung while boringly surfing the Internet. (ehehe)
The device has very little else on it physically, aside from volume-up and -down controls and a power button. It has a proprietary charger port; like the iPad, the Tab requires more juice than is available solely over USB. If you plug the Tab into a computer's USB port, you'll get a trickle charge, but not a full charge as you would with a phone. The 4000-mAh battery provides 7 hours of video, according to Samsung.
Inside, the Galaxy Tab has Samsung's 1GHz Hummingbird Application processor, two SIM slots, a 3G radio for data connections, Wi-Fi and DLNA support, 16GB of memory on-board, and one MicroSD slot for expanding memory to up to 32GB. The Tab runs Android 2.2, supports Adobe Flash 10.1 and Microsoft's PlayReady DRM, and features a tablet-optimized version of TouchWiz 3.0, the Samsung interface found on the company's Galaxy S smartphones.

The wide, Super VGA, 1024-by-600-pixel TFT display appeared bright and viewable at an angle. Samsung claims that its display has a better viewing angle and contrast ratio than the higher-resolution iPad screen.
It has two cameras--a rear-facing 3.2-megapixel camera and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera--and a camcorder for video chat. In our limited environment, the back-facing camera seemed to be of passable quality.The device has very little else on it physically, aside from volume-up and -down controls and a power button.

Resident Evil Afterlife
Last Sunday, Geno, Joan, Fred, Joey and I watched this movie. If you are a fan/watched the trilogy or the game, you shall not be disappointed. This movie completely lives up to it's expectations.
I don't think 3D was necessary but still it was a great add on. They introduced a new star cast who were familiar from TV show(Prison break) and they also did a great job :p. Milla Jovovich yet again surprises us with her charismatic hardcore action. Ali Larter as "Claire" also had a major role and she also kicked butt! And of course if you like Zombies, this one has more than the previous parts(I am also thinking of HS of the Dead while watching this movie :p). The soundtracks of the movie were breath-taking. Also don't go out of theaters right after the credits, stay for few minutes and see a MAJOR clue(i did not see this one :-(, just heard from other colleagues) And yes believe me there will be a next one! Cant wait for the next installment...

Stereogram
Lately, we have been addicted in looking and finding images out of a stereogram, A stereogram is an optical illusion of depth created from flat, two-dimensional image or images. In the office, while we are on our idle times, all of my teammates, including me, are busy staring at stereograms. We enjoy looking at the hidden images that will come up in 3D forms out of this images. It is very difficult for some to actually see the hidden image, you need to have focus and determination to actually see those. :D
Here is an example of a stereogram:

Despicable Me
Last Saturday, Hernan, Mitch, and I went to Shang-ri La mall to watch "Despicable Me". Shang-ri La cinema is a great place to watch, they have very good 3D glasses.:D

The movie is great and awesome, we were laughing the whole time. The story is very original and it is about becoming the number one villain. What makes it wonderful is that you will find yourself rooting to one of the villains in the movie(which is Gru). This is a story of a supervillain named Gru who plans to use three orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme and infiltrate his enemy "Vector", only to find that their innocent love is profoundly changing him.
I really like the minions of Gru, they are very cute and funny and they greatly contributed on the hilarious parts of the movie. :D They made very good use of the 3D graphics, there is a roller coaster ride scene that will literally "tickle your tummy" and also the reaching contest of the minions during the credits part is a fun use of 3-D that had the you/kids in the theater reaching for the screen. :D
All in all, the movie is hilariously awesome and is recommended to watch by everyone. 5 stars for me. ;)
