Well .. for me it is a PS3 bundle of the year. This is what I have been waiting for all this while. MGS4 was supposed to be out early 2008 but was delayed till Q2, 2008 which is the month of May-July. I was hoping that Sony will make a PS3 Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle and they did ... take a look ...
For the price, is still not stated yet but I know it will not be cheap cuz its a 80GB PS3 console. Here are oso some of the cool looking MGS4 banners and the release date is June 12, 2008 .. SNEAK OUT !!!

Just bloggin around ...
Finally had the chance to goto Keane's shop (SCE) at Kotaraya. My fren finally got her Rose Pink PSP after waiting for some time. She got a nice PSP package bundle which includes alot of goodies especially a very nice looking black bag. She really luv it and im glad she does.
I was so sad that she was able to play Patapon (English ver.), where I have to wait for my ori version to be release sometime this week. We when to Mcdonald's and Starbucks, grab ourselves some coffee and just chit-chatting away. I really enjoy chatting with her.
Then it was time for me to go back home and she was so kind to dropped me off at the Kelana Jaya LRT station.

My 1st The Spoils League
After half a year, I finally step foot into the new and improve Toybox at Taman Paramount. I have to say .. it looks great. Damn nice. I also completed my Spoils deck (Banker/Arcanist) and tried it out in The Spoils League. First, I did not really understand how my deck mechanic works but after trying out a couple of time, I seem to understand how the deck works and also the deck winning condition.
So .. the league started and my 1st match was against Jin. The deck he is using are Warlord/Rogue mixture. Its a good deck, fast and irritating :) I will always remember this ... he manage to counter my Voidal Poisoning :( and he won the match.
2nd round was against a player named Gary (cant really remember his name). He is using a Banker/Arcanist deck, just the opposite of my deck. I locked most of his cretures from attacking me. With the right cards out on my side .. 2 Rummaging Millipede was in play and with that .. i won this game easily.
My last round was with my old WoW TCG fren, Wei Wei. He is piloting a mono-Gearsmith with some Warlord cards. His deck able to produce lotsa token cretures and swarm me with it. As always, Voidal Poison really save the day for me and finally I get to play it. Voidal Poison FTW !!!
Btw .. I got 2nd place and I got The Spoils sleeves as a prize .. how cool is that :)
So .. thats all the league report for now. The Spoils is a fun and entertaining TCG.
Till next time ... Cheers.

Farewell HD-DVD
The war is over, the war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. The victor is Blu-Ray. Since Warner Bros decided to move toward Blu-Ray exclusive movies early this year, HD-DVD has begun tumbling down. In the recent news, Toshiba has resigned itself from supporting HD-DVD, for that .. HD-DVD is consider dead. Toshiba has always been a very strong supporter for HD-DVD in the past and I was hoping that HD-DVD will stay longer ... I guess not.
Anyway, Im still having my HD-DVD add-on at home and I wanted to sell it off but still reconsidering because I will be getting a PS3 by this coming April. I will see how lar. The good news is the price for HD-DVD movies will drop like crazy and most of it are at Amazon. Hooray for that :)
I bit u farewell HD-DVD.

One Man Can Make A Difference
One man can make a difference .. thats what Wilton Knight said to Michael Knight before he died in the original Knight Rider series in the 80's. Now a new Knight Rider series is out just this past few days and as always I got to watched it yesterday night. Is certainly a new and improve series, the car and the cast are just right. Some ppl said they would prefer the old car which is a Trans-Am but now ... a Ford Mustang Shelby .. much better. Here's KITT (Knight Industry Three Thousand).
I was surprise to see David Hasselhoff makes a cameo in this series. My goodness, he's old already :p
Also here are some of the new cast in the series. By order ... Justin Bruening, Deanna Russo and Sydney Tamiia Poitier.
I dont wanna spoiled the fun for u guys, just go watch it now. Cheers

The Spoils (part 2)
On my previous post, I already covered the introduction of the The Spoils trading card game (TCG) and I said I would cover the faction details soon, here they are. There are 5 factions to choose from ... Banker, Rogue, Gearsmith, Arcanist and Warlord. Each faction got their own colors of choice.
Banker (Greed icon): As a trade, the Bankers are heavy influence gainers and spenders, and are not known for their COVERT Characters. For instance, playing Concealed Goon (a COVERT Character) will cost you 5 influence, whereas playing Nasty Butler (a low-speed Character) will gain you 4 influence. Bankers also like to draw a lot of cards (using either Cash Out or Beatrix Winterbottom), and have direct Character removal with some benefit to/choice made by their opponents (Irresistible Bribe being an example).
Rogue (Deception icon): As a trade, Rogues try to use their opponent's discard pile against them. And the way they facilitate this is to mill their opponent's library. One particular Character, Pluck, can snatch opponent's discarded Characters, Items or Locations for his controller's use. But it doesn't end in the discard pile; Rogues can take control of some cards their opponents control (an example of a Tactic of this type is Rapine). Some other traits of this trade are high-speed Characters, Speed manipulation, and removing opponent's discard cards from the game, as well as minor control (two examples being the Item Emergency Obfuscation and the Tactic Forced Recruitment).
Warlord (Rage icon): As a trade, Warlords are the straight-forward beaters and damage-dealers. They want to lay down efficient (strength to cost ratio) Characters to attack with while using damage dealing sources to clear the way. They also have cards that will help them to overwhelm their opponents with a sizable board control. They also have one of the most powerful Characters, the Dragon Tank, which destroys one enemy Character per turn and is a 10/10/4 as well, thus clearing the enemies away and doing tremendous damage.
Gearsmith (Elitism icon): As a trade, Gearsmiths use cost reduction in many ways to help spur them ahead (with cards such as Jo Ciendeilio and 1337! aiding them in this endeavour). As well as possessing selective tutoring (drawing specific types of cards), the highest number of Item cards, and Character token creator cards (called Micromajigs, with the stats 1/1/3), they have a "Node" theme that can become quite powerful but is particularly vulnerable.
Arcanist (Obsession icon): As a trade, the Acanists sport the most COVERT Characters. They can bounce their opponent's permanents and force them to discard cards (using cards such as Forget and Degenerate Molestation), as well as generate tokens that can be used from certain cards to bounce cards (such as Quotidian Ejector) or cause their opponent to discard cards. Another ability of these arcane experimenters is to manipulate the libraries and to retrieve specific "type" cards (an example being Servile Centipede, which, on coming into play from your hand, allows you to search for a Tactic).
