How many can you identify?

If you get more than the eyeball one, you should probably stay away from Quiapo for a while and save some of your money.

So apparently, the cosplay world (costume play) is not without its share of flame wars. This article has started alot of crap flying about. Sounds like Transformers fans.

I miss the days when geeks stayed at home and shopped online.

Survey Says!

According to www.urlmetrix.com, the number of people that read my blog here is a number so infitesimal that it approaches illimitably, so miniscule as to be non-exsistent.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Just like last year, my commisions are coming in 3 days AFTER toycon. bummer. Good thing Cybertron PH is launching these babies. I'm hoping there'll be enough stocks of this time and we won't have to elbow fellow collectors in the nuts to get shortpacked ones.

News to Geek Out To

From AintItCool.com

WAHWHOOOO!

"We've known for a while that Christian Bale is playing John Connor in McG's now-in-production TERMINATOR film. Early indications suggested Bale would appear throughout a proposed trilogy of films...although nothing seemed set in stone.

"Now comes confirmation that Bale has formally signed on to play Connor in three TERMINATOR movies."

YIPPPEEEEE!

"Pre-production is about to get under way on the two-part "Hobbit." Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are expected to pen the scripts under the direction of Peter Jackson and del Toro. Preliminary contact has already been made with at least three actors whose "Lord of the Rings" characters also appear in the "Hobbit" storyline: Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum)."

SWEEEEET!

"'Iron Man' screenwriters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway have been hired by Summit Entertainment to pen a “Highlander” remake, according to the Hollywood Reporter"

From komiksnewsnow.wordpress.com

If its  your first time to attend the Free Comic Book Day, here are some tips

  1. come on time at exactly at 10am
  2. bring a bag  for your comic hauls
  3. bring a camera, so that you can cover the event in your own style
  4. bring some comic books for autograph with the comic artist guest
  5. bring some extra shirt, because its a whole day event and you want to be fresh during the first 6 hours
  6. bring money! the comics is free, but the food is not! yeah! there are food centers in the mall, you need a lot of energy
  7. at 10am, line up properly infront of the comic store.
  8. if you’re late, just wish that you can still get free copies of the comics
  9. and if this tip is effective, contact me immediately ( hehhehe)

I should stay away from Greenhills...



So I leave the guys thinking "I'll pay my bills and go home...". After about an hour in line at two different banks, the exhaustion of being awake for 24 hours leaves me and I decide resolutely, "MAYBE I will go buy that red, no black, psp! (or maybe not)"

After walking around for two hours and finding out that the stalls in the back DO NOT sell shit cheaper and have warranties that are worth about as much as the shit they are not selling cheaper, I decide to go back to the first store I went into and settled for a boring silver one (reds are expensive and the dickhead in front of me bought the last black one). Free firmware upgrades and games go a long way for a poor bastard without a computer.

So I'm waiting for my PSP to get loaded and besides saying to myself earlier, "I will NOT go to the toystores..." I go to the toystores. Guess what I find.

Iron Man Movie series 1 set of 6 for P4100. Cheaper than SRP at Toy Kingdom and with an Iron Monger, a Mark 1 and a Mark 2. I said to myself, "SHEEET!" After much back and forth, "I'll buy it", "I can't!, "But I must!", I decide, "Yes, I must or I will kick myself in the ass when I'm forking over 2k for the Monger in a month or so.

That's how I spent 15k in 1 day. That's right boys and girls. 15k.

Can you say, "Ouch."

Summertime in Hell sure is hot...

Got this from Tutai's blog...

Third Level of Hell


In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.

WHOO HOO!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | Very Low
Level 2 | High
Level 3 | Very High
Level 4 | High
Level 5 | Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis | High
Level 7 | Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge | Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus | Very High

Take the test: http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv

I think I'll visit the City of Dis next vacation. I hear their sisig is to die for and those "three infernal Furies" sound kinda hot...
