Sailor Pink Gundam
This is just...wrong.  New Gundam anime series confirmed. It will be called "Magical Bishoujo Gundam Pink!"  In the name of the moon I punish you!  Gem Encrusted Shield. To blind the enemy with sparkling bling.  Love!Courage!and Pretty Pink Hearts!!  Think Heero Yuy will have a field day with this. He will press the self-destruct button even before getting inside.  Way to traumatize your otaku fanbase on your 30th Anniversary, Bandai. 娘炮鋼彈 via Kotaku | | Friday, May 29th, 2009 | | 10:57 am |

Why learn japanese? ...To pick up girls!
Random rant.... Was chatting with my friend over MSN the other day , and came up to the topic on how to motivate people to learn the Japanese language. So I came up with this theory... Theory: How to pick up girls 1. Learn Japanese 2. Play Japanese love simulation (bishoujo) games 3. Learn from techniques used in love simluation games and use them to pick up girls. 4. ??? 5. Profit!! ...Yes this is a random rant. :p | | Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 | | 7:26 am |

Dark Days are Coming....
This is the tag line for Funcom's (makes of Age of Conan) new game, The Secret World. The trailer looks interesting. To top it off? It is an MMORPG it seems. And its designed for the Xbox360 as well as PC. | | Monday, April 6th, 2009 | | 11:30 am |

Google block me...
Today, I was just starting my RSS Feeds Reader (Feeddemon, in case anyone is wondering) as updating my usual news feeds when I noticed some of them cannot be updated, even after repeated refreshes. At first I thought the website was down, but going to the website itself seems to show no problems. Then finally when i clicked on the feed itself, I saw this message:  I don't think my computer has a virus, so the likely culprit is likely to be my RSS news reader Feeddemon sending out too many update requests at once. (maybe Google don't like competitors to their Google reader.:p )But then, the block is by IP address, so even Internet Explorer and Firefox cannot access that page anymore. Still, it is slightly disturbing that Google is blocking my access to a 3rd party website like Kotaku. Perhaps we are giving Google slightly too much leeway in controlling our access to the World Wide Web. Google evil? Hardly...yet. Maybe they are just trying too hard. But as some say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Now gimme back my interwebs. | | Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 | | 9:28 pm |
Month of disaster movies...
The apocalypse is coming. Prepare for the onslaught. March 12, 2009  Dragonball Evolution: Watch Chow Yuen Fatt act as Master Roshi. (龟仙人). And consider that he is the only one in the cast that (somewhat) fits the character he is playing. March 13, 2009  Race to Witch Mountain Ex-legendary wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson acting in a Disney movie. Enough said. March 19, 2009  Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li was a good decision. A suit-wearing blond dude as M.Bison is not. Reviews say this movie makes Van Damme's 1994 Street Fighter Movie look good. A word of warning.... What not to bring: Your brain: It will get a headache trying to make sense of the many obvious plot holes and glaringly lack of canon. What to bring: A box of tissues: To wipe your tears as you weep, watching Hollywood desecrate your childhood memories piece by piece.

Mario Explains It
Found a interesting new topic that started out on reddit. It started out with a relatively simple yet pretty accurate pic. Mario Explains It. Lesson 001 (Relationships)  Then someone suggested a solution Mario Explains It. Lesson 003 (Reality)  Being from US, other people suggested a more direct route :p Mario Explains It: Lesson 002 -( There's always another path! )  Of course there are implications to that route. Mario Explains It: Lesson 004b.1  Some others suggested a escape route Mario Explains It: Lesson 006 - F*ckit! I'm outa here!  In the end. Someone just constructed the meaning of life itself from all this. Mario Explains It: Your entire Life!  And there you have it. The cycle of life, as explained by Mario. Life imitates games, or games imitate life? :P via Kotaku Current Mood:  melancholy | | Friday, February 6th, 2009 | | 12:08 am |
Starcraft University
No wonder people like to go to US universities, this is what they teach there! "Starcraft 101-The Art of War" at UC BerkeleyExcerpts from their syllabus: Prerequisites: "Starcraft: Brood War" Course Workload:"Each week, students must submit 2 replays of games they played and are willing to analyze in depth." I love this module already. <3 Heck, NUS/NTU wants to be world-class universities like UC Berkeley? Then they should start offering courses like this as electives! Local version? "The Art of Warcraft-DOTA 101"? kekekeke..... | | Monday, January 26th, 2009 | | 1:01 pm |

Street Fighter IV
The new Street Fighter IV trailer looks good. The dubbing...not so good. The anime made specially for the game looks good too. If you can't stand the dubs, (and understand jap) here is the original Japanese version. :p The new final boss. he's called Seth. He looks gay... .jpg) And is gay. I mean, just look at his Ultra move... Gives a whole new meaning too "I want you inside of me...." :p Akuma's Raging Demon is still way cooler... And hey, it's got Sheng Long! (now known as Gouken) Don't know how he's gonna fit into the story though, since he's supposed to be dead and such. then again, video game characters never do stay dead, do they? Just look at WoW's Illidan.... Oh yeah, and there is the live action movie.... Kristen Kruek as Chun Li!....and Edmund Chen as his father.(^_^;) Hopefully, this will turn up better than DOA:The movie. Then again, it's Holloywood, so maybe not. :\ Remembers this...(T_T;) | | Sunday, January 11th, 2009 | | 10:32 am |

Kings of Power Pirate Baby's Street Fight
Recently came across this animator Paul Robertson while surfing kotaku. What started off as a (fake?) advertisement and tribute to games in the 8 bit era led me to go find his short films. His style is pretty interesting. He draws 16-bit cutesy sprites from a a earlier gaming era, adds in a lot of blood and gore, and yet his story does tribute to many video game franchises all in 1 package. To give you an idea of his work, just imagine Maple Story characters fighting zombies in Resident Evil. ;) In a era where most people use machinima to do their short films, it is rare to find such a talent who still does (hand-drawn?) animation (emulating 16-bit sprite format, of all things) and yet pulls it off so well. His first film seems to be Pirate Baby's Cabana Street Fight (Cool name, ain't it?). A tribute to Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, and Resident Evil all at the same time. Be forewarned, this show can be considered PG. Blood (lots of it) spilled in black and white movie. Part One Part Two His next movie is Kings of Power 4 Billion%. In colour! Tribute of so many video games and other stuff that I lost track of them. The torrent link comes from his blog, so it should be considered legit? Ha ha. Be forewarned again, this show can be considered M18. (Even more blood (in red this time!) nudity and some religious references near the end.) Part One Part Two Impressive, and yet disturbing, at the same time. Ha ha. His blog and website can be found here. | | Sunday, December 28th, 2008 | | 8:10 am |
Saw this advertisement at Raffles Place MRT while I was going to work.Never knew there was an anime fan in Stanchart.  Maybe Stanchart should change its tagline to "The otaku bank" to attract new niche customers. ;) They can start by bringing in credit cards like this...  Or better yet, these....  Maybe then more people will sign up for Stanchart credit cards then. :p | | Sunday, December 14th, 2008 | | 11:34 pm |

Food Fight!
Ever wondered what would happen if fast-food tie-in promotions started mixing up with fighting video games? Maybe this....  Extra Value Combo AlphaAnd the game might look something like this..... For an old guy, the colonel sure moves freakin' fast he he pulls off his combos... (o_0; ) From Kotaku | | Thursday, October 30th, 2008 | | 12:28 am |
