Pen And Paper RPG Will Never Be The Same

October 26th, 2009 No Comments

Surfacescapes Demo Walkthrough from Surfacescapes on Vimeo.

They say that Technology improves things. But purist gamers eventually will prefer old pen-and-paper favorites such as Dungeons and Dragons played the traditional way – with dice, pencils, graphing paper and miniatures.

In this age of hi-tech, the new Microsoft Surface will change everything. Watch the video above on how we will be playing traditional pen-and-paper games using new technology.

It’ll make every nerd drool! (count me in)… Peace!

Start An Internet Cafe Business in the Philippines Part 2

October 25th, 2009 22 Comments

I often get a lot of hits/visits on the original post I did almost 2 years ago. From there, I’ve responded to a lot of emails and comments (225 as of last count) and hopefully, helped would-be entrepreneurs to start out. Sana, by this time, kumikita na ang mga cafe nyo.

After that original post, I augmented it with a follow-up post; Internet Cafe Business where I helped a reader on her question of whether to buy brand new PCs or buy an already furbished shop.

Goodbye Tunay Na Lalake

October 25th, 2009 12 Comments


One of my favorite Pinoy Blogs, Tunay Na Lalake (or TNL) has simply vanished. I just saw them get some awards a couple of weeks back at the PBA.

Anyways, currently, the only thing posted on their blog are the words “Paalam Baby… It’s not you. It’s me.” All their archives and posts are also gone.

Makes me wonder. Does anyone know the reason(s) why they closed? For what’s it worth – thank you TNL for all the laughs and for the good times.

You will be missed…

If you’re new to video making or video editing, I thought I’d share with you a few of my tips on how to make great youtube videos (or any vid that you can share online via SNS or other video sharing sites).

For me, one of the most annoying things is to look at a boring family picnic that’s either a) 10 minutes long or b) takes a million years to load.

Before we go into the actual tips, here are a couple of rules that you have to bear in mind – Keep It Short and Keep It Interesting.
