Diablo 3 and Koreans

Brand new character screenshots from Diablo 3!

So you all know by now that Diablo 3 is coming. Not just the computer game but the third resurrection of the dark lord himself and would go perform all the cataclysmic evil stuff like what the bible told us many times before. Too bad most of us are just too arrogant and selfish that we do not need “religion” because it shows weakness to our tough but superficial outward appearance. So do your best and pray when it’s too late, Jesus hater.

Anyway, before Diablo 3 was announced, all of our attentions are merely focused on one upcoming computer game, which is Blizzard’s Starcraft 2 (sad, it’s still a Blizzard product). Forget about the high prices in oil, Senate hearings on a God-forsaken boat, Betancourt finally getting out of the Columbian jungles or Obama doing “flip flops” on his speeches…we are all waiting for Starcraft 2 bitch!

However, when the Diablo 3 announcement came in last June 28 at Blizzard's World Wide Invitational, it seems that the crowd was immediately divided. Sure, Starcraft is the greatest RTS ever, but those freaking Koreans always win anyway. If ever they have released a demo version of the game, they have macroed it so much that your Marine blaster wouldn’t even hit those Zerglings. Just to let you know how I feel about this…I hate Koreans (racial prejudices aside). I can’t even stand seeing them on the streets while hearing them speak their own “dog-eating” language…what more if they beat you easily in a Starcraft game? I even once dreamt of going into an “all Korean gathering” and cast a Frost Nova spell around them as they shatter into pieces (that was a good feeling indeed). Anyway, with Diablo, even though not an RTS or a true RPG even, the playing field is even.

Would I “flip-flop?” I guess so. I am more excited with Diablo 3 than Starcraft 2 now. So far they only have the Barbarian and a Witch Doctor (that’s my character in WoW! A troll?) Too keep up with the excitement, I’m actually playing Diablo 2 with expansion again and trying to develop a good Hardcore Ladder character in BattleNet. I will keep you updated guys!

BTW…thank you again for browsing my blog. It has been a very long time. I’m glad you’re back as well :)

A year worth of rest

Thank you again for visiting my blog. For the past year, I've been only active through my personal multiply site. I have to admit that I have stopped on using my creative noggin to write articles like what I've used to. Giving my wicked wit a break was good enough in a way, but I surely missed it so much.

I have been busy with lot of things. Most of them can be related to work. Don't worry...I would still have time to update this blog. I already made some cleaning of the articles I've made. So while waiting for my future updates, please do refresh yourself on my archived nonesense for the mean time.

See you in a while kiddies.

January 07 Factoids

- In the recent survey from the United States, married women are now a minority group. As the report says, 51% of women in America are single, single with child or divorced, and they chose to stay that way. Ouch. So much for the family being the vital institution of society. Families are getting scarce nowadays...specially in the west. Okei lang, bring in more Filipinos there so we could take over. Wehehehe.

- Everyone knows that Hillary Clinton will run for Presidency. Yeah, and Bill will be back in the White House if tht happens. Woohoo! Interns!

But do you know that her closest opponent is a black Illinois Senator named Barack Obama?
I guess many of you know him for he is a suprisingly famous candidate. But still, many dumb Americans (or most Americans) think Obama is Osama. What's more scarier? Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein. No joke.

- In our country, it's really obvious that politicians are in the "campaign mode" already. You could smell the filth in the air. Can't you see it? Mark Jimenez starts to act like a born again preacher, Ping Lacson exposes more scandal or anything that could detract from people probing HIM for scandal, we see television commercials with hidden agendas, we see Government officials being axed out of their jobs, we see ENDLESS road repairs since before holiday season...all at the SAME TIME, most of all...we see enemies become friends and friends become enemies.

It's all natural in our policital zoo. It's a place where you can find no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

- Italy now has a strict rule for models to have a medical permit before struting down the catwalk. It's about time dude! The world is watching a fashion show, not an African feeding program.

- Even though it didn't have much impact on the box office even in America, Blood Diamond is one good piece of work. I suprisingly enjoyed the movie. It's really good to have low expectations when watching a movie. That theory is always proven....except for the time I watched Tatlong Baraha. Have you seen Mark Lapid's new byline? For the love of God...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6cufhldqSU

- Have you been to the Mall of Asia? I mean, I've been there in the "building process" back in 2005 for about three to four times a week since we are working on many deals there. I'm so sick and tired of it that I never really saw it when it opened since last year. So there, I finally had the patience to go back and see it open.

One tip, never bring back your girl there for shopping reasons. Women never gets tired of mall walking. Specially if you think that their fave stores are all divided apart. CMG is far from Nine West, Nine West is Far from Mango, and Mango is far from VNC...you know the pattern. Get ready to kill your feet.


- I apologize again for the lack of update. As I told you before, I don't have much grip of my time. I'm back in night shift this week and it pains me just to think that the place I live in is not conjusive for day sleeping. At least I have more time playing Guildwars since I'm awake most of the time. Yipee.

Now Showing: Saw III

This is not part of any Saw movie, but Streisand is much more horrifying.

If you happen to see be a fan of the Saw movies, then you must be very thrilled that Saw III just hit the theaters yesterday. As you can see, Saw III is the new Saw movie from the terrifying Saw series for you to see. If you happen to see Saw I and saw Saw II then Saw III would add a whole new brutal experience that you never saw in Saw I and seen in Saw II. But if you never happen to see Saw I and saw Saw II before, don’t fret. Seeing Saw III doesn’t require you to see Saw I and Saw II. If you saw Saw I and saw Saw II but never saw the neurotic thrill you’ve been hoping to see, seeing Saw III would change your mind. So try to see Saw III and probably try see Saw I and see Saw II as well. If you already saw Saw I and saw Saw II, try seeing it again and sew your way to see Saw III.

Tuesdays with Mirkhy

I had to admit it. I started blogging again because I find this as a therapy to ease all the hurts and pain I have in my badly wounded heart. Some people say I’m invincible, unstoppable and very resilient…but they’re wrong. I would always pretend to be a person I’m not. Actually, I happen to be a very sensitive individual. One time when I was drinking comfort tea in a café, I was approached by a very pretty young lady and she asked for the time. My heart was shattered into pieces. As you can see, that’s how weak I am. I couldn’t stand the fact that she’s asking just the time and not my virginity. She failed to see that I am an irresistible piece of human meat!

Whenever I feel so broken, I always run for help, comfort and advice. This very moment is one example, my life is so messed up and my chances are getting thinner than Nicole Ritchie herself. I don’t even take a bath nowadays because some rat keeps on eating my soap every night and the water is freaking cold. God doesn’t listen to me anymore because I’m a member of Dating Daan and I curse a lot of Iglesia members. My friends are unavailable because I don’t have any money. All of the people on my Friendster link didn’t even exist! Or even if they do, they are 13 year old boys pretending to be sexy ladies, all for Ragnarok game load. So the only person I found solitude was Mirkhy. He is my only trusted YM chat partner. I believe he’s an 11 year old kid from New Jersey, but I don’t care. All I need is someone who understands. Someone who is ready to hear me out, give me advice, even only on Tuesdays.

Mirkhy: ROFLOL!

After I logged out, I felt a lot better. We often dwell much on our problems, our pains and hurts and we let these things imprison us…not realizing how lucky we still are.

So how was the holidays?

I should be this fat guy here.


The holidays are officially over by now. You should accept that fact and please put down that Christmas tree in your living room before real animals start to live on it.

To be frank, I never bought anything for myself this past holiday season. I should have had an Xbox 360 already. I should already be hacking a crowd of zombies with a vacuum cleaner in Dead Rising or hiding under a chip of concrete in Gears of War by now. Dammit! I wish I was a selfish prick like most of the people in city. What I did was wrap gifts for my hundreds of inaanaks and some for friends whoare really important to me. Sorry if you're one of my friends who never had any....tough times dude.

Tough times indeed. I also started having a part time job as tech support. So I have two jobs now, working like a packed mule headed to Migdal HaEmeq. You must be thinking "This guy is planning to get married soon". I guess you're a psychic. You're damn right and it's "as soon as possible" type of deal. Well, I have to give her tons of credit for staying six freaking years with a huge nervous-wrecked smartass like me. At least I'm unique, she thought.

So the Xbox 360 plan went down to savings. That munny might end up with a wretched gay wedding planner sometime soon, but what the hell. Can't stay in Xbox Live forever, all of those 30 year old Halo players there never even thought of having a girl except those digital babes seen in Final Fantasy games. And I'm blessed with an intelligent "board top notcher" type, patient, understanding and a very kind individual. I'm still one lucky bastard.

Let get out of my internet character for a while and greet everyone a very merry Christmas. Always remember that it is a season of giving, not grabbing. A season of forgiveness and love. So always try to share yourself to those who are really in need.
