Upgrade PC. 2. Install <span style="font-style:italic;">Left 4 Dead</span>. 3. Find three friends to play with. 4. Blow zombies up the way you've always dreamed of blowing them up those damned motherfuckers.<br /><br />Zombies have always fascinated me. Zombies also scare the shit out of me. When I was a little boy, my favorite fear was a zombie apocalypse, and every night before I drifted to sleep, I would go over in my mind ways of how to defend my house, gather and maintain supplies, and, if need be, kill my neighbors, friends and loved ones. Imagine how young I was then and the hard choices I had to make every single night. Heh.<br /><br />And so I have to rave about this game that I haven't played yet, but I've read the reviews <a href="http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/left-4-dead/930843p1.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/930/930763p1.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/10/hands-on-left-4.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and they're enough to make my mouse hand start twitching. If by chance zombies are also your cup of tea but survival horror gaming isn't, I'd like to recommend to you some other recent finds: <span style="font-style:italic;">Dead Set</span>, a British mini-series about a zombie outbreak at a Big Brother set, and <span style="font-style:italic;">Dance of the Dead</span>, an indie movie with the dead bursting out of their graves during high school prom night. Both are awesome and feature next-gen fast-running zombies. Now step lively and start hunting.<br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-83007965880931609732008-09-11T11:16:00.004+08:002008-09-11T11:34:38.365+08:00VIDEO GAMES = SCIENCE<a><br /></a>Read <a href="http://www.wired.com/gaming/gamingreviews/commentary/games/2008/09/gamesfrontiers_0908" target="_blank">this article</a> on how video games actually teach us science—physics and the scientific method and all.

It was only 10 AM, so the mall had just opened, but lo! there was already a hugeass line forming at National. People were in an excited, chatty mood, and were in my age demographics, so by the time I reached the counter, me, the person at my front as well as the one at my back were already halfway through recounting our teenage years growing up on Eraserheads. What a fun line. Judging by that crowd earlier, this concert will be one awesome, rockingly nostalgic trip down memory lane for everyone there. Can't wait.<br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-69486007077710341092008-08-13T23:41:00.004+08:002008-08-13T23:58:17.762+08:00PICLENS<a><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz041Xwf4GoHUkpncS8aHeQkoPo5j5YYwcCHIr_ezrWEOAPTmbGfob-lvjp-L_mRCw50oZDHiHT0JUuNDTXiQ1kkydNyfE3XYskmaIBDk_zEkU7QEBVwOFfDWFj61yq-fpbJ0JWkHnkLl0/s1600-h/Piclens.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz041Xwf4GoHUkpncS8aHeQkoPo5j5YYwcCHIr_ezrWEOAPTmbGfob-lvjp-L_mRCw50oZDHiHT0JUuNDTXiQ1kkydNyfE3XYskmaIBDk_zEkU7QEBVwOFfDWFj61yq-fpbJ0JWkHnkLl0/s320/Piclens.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234031451176827586" /></a>Is just so damn cool.

Really exciting stuff, what with the possibility of the LHC accidentally creating a tiny black hole or some devastating freak quantum phenomenon during one of its experiments, which, of course, will have the downside of instantly annihilating our planet in the process. For sure, this is going to be hard-on month for physicists everywhere, hehe.<br /><br />And here's some nerdcore rap that explains the LHC to us laymen and women. Just watch it, bitchez.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T3iryBLZCOQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T3iryBLZCOQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-59057176075395099232008-08-04T19:02:00.008+08:002008-08-04T21:15:33.622+08:00ELEVATED U-TURN AT C5 WORKS!<a><br /></a>Wow, the MMDA actually came up with a sensible idea. After months of horrible traffic and construction delays, the elevated U-turn at the C5-Kalayaan intersection finally opened this weekend, and seeing it working in tandem with the new traffic flow scheme had me hooting in delight.<br /><br />A lot of people (me included) were skeptical as to why such a spacious U-turn slot was being built there in the first place, when few motorists needed it, and the ones that did were able to turn around at Market! Market! with no problems at all. Well, little did we know that the authorities involved planned to seal off the Kalayaan crossing at C5, so now vehicles that want to get to the other side need to take the elevated U-turn. Kind of like the U-turn route underneath the EDSA-Quezon Ave. flyover, but with the U-turners at C5 having to do the climbing instead. An added discomfort for these drivers, for sure, but the trade-off is that vehicles along C5 can now zoom straight across, since there's no longer an intersection to wait at, translating to less traffic and more gas savings. Hooray!<br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com92tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-66341339536505967012008-07-19T23:34:00.006+08:002008-07-20T00:01:39.991+08:00STARBUCKS, SON OF SATAN<a><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjxFNmbVTVhllmWI7nJg3s4qS3CaB3LiPY30DdPmdseckddUtQBKqVq1QBVjLi8VOsrQk1IUAtgU6jgXfM7z8P4u6O-ygBR0gYT8IokUtdAEB_rQd8T66hbpxeq4P2iv2NpMCmqRxRraO/s1600-h/Starbucks.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjxFNmbVTVhllmWI7nJg3s4qS3CaB3LiPY30DdPmdseckddUtQBKqVq1QBVjLi8VOsrQk1IUAtgU6jgXfM7z8P4u6O-ygBR0gYT8IokUtdAEB_rQd8T66hbpxeq4P2iv2NpMCmqRxRraO/s200/Starbucks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224754993904325586" /></a><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121642002363666365.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" target="_blank"><span style="font-style:italic;">Now that Starbucks Corp. has disclosed the 600 locations it wants to shutter, a phenomenon is taking hold: the Save Our Starbucks campaign.</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121642002363666365.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" target="_blank">Here</a> for the full article.<br /><br />Oh why didn't we see this coming?

This morning I might be doing a simple product shoot, while at night I might be going to a morgue to photograph dead bodies. Not that I'm belittling product shoots—in fact, they have a meditative, in-the-zone effect on me that I really look forward to when I get them. But this is for another post.<br /><br />Anyway, about two months ago, <span style="font-style:italic;">FHM</span> editorial asst. BA and their mascot, Bong (a.k.a. Superbong!), joined a cosplay competition for a feature. BA was decked out as Hellboy and Bong as Street Fighter's Dhalsim. While they were having their makeup and body paint done, I, comic book fanboy that I am, snatched up the Hellboy props and handed Mae my camera for a quick <span style="font-style:italic;">pitik</span>. Well, BA, who weighs three times more than me, filled out the costume better and even won an award in the competition. For the whole low-down, the feature appears in this month's <span style="font-style:italic;">FHM</span>.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-0EIIu5UawBBrQd9lM5ypMIr2-5KwuLOI7UcGSxWWPA7kZDtLdwZTu6DFm6A4DTdHwacisKTI5HsFyCBEuzKZ-iCxuwmVKmk4wtAyvVOnxV-BGsKYLO1AcebBiGpYlv6UKTm8HQS2oWm/s1600-h/I,+Hellboy.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-0EIIu5UawBBrQd9lM5ypMIr2-5KwuLOI7UcGSxWWPA7kZDtLdwZTu6DFm6A4DTdHwacisKTI5HsFyCBEuzKZ-iCxuwmVKmk4wtAyvVOnxV-BGsKYLO1AcebBiGpYlv6UKTm8HQS2oWm/s400/I,+Hellboy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214376369099031954" /></a><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-48238032266268797132008-06-20T02:38:00.002+08:002008-06-20T03:35:10.517+08:00FRINGE<a><br /></a>is the new <span style="font-style:italic;">X-Files</span>!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZAu4L5_Fl84&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZAu4L5_Fl84&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Just finished watching the first ep, and it's great! Being a brainchild of JJ Abrams, <span style="font-style:italic;">Fringe </span>definitely has a <span style="font-style:italic;">Lost </span>feel to it, which is awesome when you think about it—shock twists, grand conspiracies, smart storytelling—now place these in an <span style="font-style:italic;">X-Files</span> setting, and it makes so much sense. Oh, if you haven't seen it, be warned that the first scene is as gruesome as it gets, but I'm thinking a chunk of it might be cut out when the show officially airs.<br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-34984584684112730102008-06-03T03:51:00.005+08:002008-06-03T04:36:40.655+08:00U2 3D<a><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw9Hwtf7_zvkURc7ChSjQFBjvakn18j1pIH5Niir24U0ZEfL0shmEvKXZJqyNubVf-X630SJqYdvtmqX7nOLzZrYTK3Td7q9-WLDb56pDREt07wcq6c-FP-9rUY4u9oN54wIL9goi-dydH/s1600-h/U2+3D.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw9Hwtf7_zvkURc7ChSjQFBjvakn18j1pIH5Niir24U0ZEfL0shmEvKXZJqyNubVf-X630SJqYdvtmqX7nOLzZrYTK3Td7q9-WLDb56pDREt07wcq6c-FP-9rUY4u9oN54wIL9goi-dydH/s320/U2+3D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207384461451657250" /></a>Simply put, the best audio-visual experience I've had in a cinema to date. It's been showing at the IMAX theater for over a month now I think, and the play dates are getting scarcer (lately, only twice a week), so do catch it before it vanishes altogether.<br /><br />Was able to round up some family members about a week ago to watch it, and we had our senses flooded by the sheer bitchassness of the whole thing. Well, for me at least, the first two songs alone were worth the price of admission. Now, I'm not a diehard fan of U2 and neither is Cel, but these guys do know how to perform, and by the end of it we were both resolved to catch the real thing when they get here (November <span style="font-style:italic;">nga ba</span>?). Hell, even Leelee, whose songs are mostly limited to Disney and High School Musical, we've caught humming "Sunday Bloody Sunday" while playing with her toys. How cool is that?<br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441567319354758820.post-7099563475305540652008-05-26T23:19:00.007+08:002008-05-26T23:56:33.603+08:00THAI EKLAT<a><br /></a>Hey, anyone remember that rundown-but-spicy-yummy Thai canteen at the end of Katipunan? I can't remember where it was located coming from UP—uhm, at the back of the International Center, maybe? Anyway, it's been gone for nearly a decade now. <br /><br />A few years ago I heard rumors that the old lady who ran the canteen moved to Singapore and had a shop near an airport terminal, or maybe it's runway. Well, now, Cel's friend informed her a week ago that the lady was seen working at a restaurant in the Ortigas Home Depot area. Cel and I checked it out the next day and, lo, there she was! The shop's called Khao Pad, near the car shops at the OHD, still specializing in Thai delicacies, but of course with a more expanded menu than what we were used to. We just wanted the old beef/pork/chicken/squid with mixed vegetables that was the only thing most people ordered at UP, but she had a large bulk order that day, so we had to settle on the <span style="font-style:italic;">ulams </span>behind the glass partition and not on the menu.<br /><br />She was quite happy-surprised when I told her we were her old customers at UP, though I still couldn't understand what she was saying, haha. For sure, Cel and I will be coming back some other time to dig into that combo we've been craving for for ten years now. Heh.<br /><br /><a></a>Coshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819602267929146141noreply@blogger.com1
