The Ultimate FPS Surround Experience

I thought that big-ass monitors that almost surround the player was the best 3D FPS experience. Well… I’m about to be proven wrong. The gun (above) was launched at the recent Quake Con by a company called Macrovision.

Touted as the Tuatara, it has all the controls on the gun and it will project the game on any wall. Move the gun up and you can see the sky, move it left and… you get what I mean.

Watch the video… it’s better than my words! Peace!

How To Check If Your Blog Is Working

Sometimes, you’ll get a lot of errors when you check your own blog. Your DNS might be screwed up, the ISP failed, your browser has issues, or your webhost may have some problems. When this happens to me, I call my host ASAP. Good thing I have a great host that always responds fast and fixes things when I need ‘em.

You can either YM a friend and ask him (or her) to check if your URL fires up on his PC. But there’s a quicker solution to this problem.

Unboxing StarCraft 2

Thank God for timezones. Today, July 27, 2010 is the worldwide release date of the much anticipated game StarCraft 2. This means we are ahead of countries such as the US. We’ve waited 11 years for this.

Just got mine pre-ordered at Datablitz for P3,500. It came with some freebies for those who pre-ordered.

WTF! Pagcor Chairman Pays P21M for Burgers

Only in the Philippines.

Two days before newly-elected President Noynoy Aquino assumed office, then PAGCOR chairman Efraim Genuino issued a check worth P21 Million big ones to Pagcor president and chief operating officer Rafael Francisco.

Impersonators. I Hate ‘em.

Quite recently, someone impersonated me and my some offending comments at Abe Olandres’ blog.

This post is meant to clear my name. First, the douchebag used the name Mon Macuto and still used my blog’s URL. Attached is a screenshot of said comment.

I want to apologize to Abe and his readers if he (they) thought it was me who made the offending post.

Cosplay ain’t just for nerds, dorks or MMO players. Dogs take a liking for it too, y’know.

5 Reasons Why Games Get Better With Alcohol

Video games, let’s face it… are a guy thing. So are beer and booze.

No wonder a lot of us mix both our favorite things. Some drink while gaming when in a social activity, like parties or get-togethers. Dorks can only expect booze as company in lieu of the girls. Sigh.

But do games really get better with alcohol? Let’s see…

Finding Content For Your Blog

Maintaining a blog is not easy. Growing “hits” and readership is doubly so.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan

Dahil sa araw na ito, aking bibigkasin ang ating sariling wika.

Maligayang pagbati po sa inyong lahat ng isang Araw ng Kalayaan. Ating ginutaain ang araw na ito sa ating kasaysayan. Noong Hunyo 12, 1898 sa Kawit, Cavite ay prinoklema ni Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo na tayo ay ay hindi na sakop ng mga Kastila. Dito rin unang iniwagayway ang ating bandera na ginawa pa sa Hong Kong nina Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo, at Delfina Herboza.

Ating gunitain ang ating mga bayani at isapuso ang ating pagiging tunay na Pilipino.

Mabuhay po kayo lahat. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
