I always find it difficult to recommend people on what things to buy, cause when the stuff doesn't work out well for them I eventually get blamed for it. Same goes for recommending where someone goes to buy the actual stuff.

The problem is that when the shop does a 180 turn on their policy and how to treat their customers, not to mention sell the same item at various prices to different customers it just pisses me off on how they can do it in the name of the community and yet screw them over at the same time.

So now when people ask me where to shop for stuff, I'm just gonna say I buy it at this particular shop but I sure as HELL ain't going to recommend the shop just like I sure as HELL don't recommend Streamyx to people even though I use it every day.

One of the first games I ever got for my Nintendo DS was Ouendan, it was basically the only game which after I saw a video on the web I knew.. I just HAAAADDD to get it!! And it was a brillant rhythm game, so fun and exciting, and fast paced!!! So fast that the game also served to be a DS screen killer since you had to spin the stylus on the screen like hell! Fast forward to today...

When I saw the Mario Hat Cushion on sale in Play Asia I was cursing the fact that it wasn't the real hat, but rather a cushion in the shape of Mario's hat. After contemplating buying it for a whole 5 minutes I dropped both the Mario and Luigi hats into the shopping cart.

Then my sanity slapped me in the face and asked me to disregard Luigi like the forgotten 2P which he is.

And after spending a few weeks in an economy class box.. here it is!!! The Mario hat cushion!!!!

Now how do I get WZ to pimp this product?

Previously there was only 2 kinds of people you'd meet when you were playing online in say.. on XBox Live.

The people who play games, or the people who heckle/sneer/curse while trying to play games.

More recently there's an additional bunch of people who like to let the other gamers on their teams know about their views of the current geopolitical issue. So you got people who are ganging up on people from certain countries, or just being an ass to people from certain countries.

Come on people!!! We're trying to have some fun online here I don't care what your polictical beliefs are, if you're on the opposing team I cap your ass, if you're on my team I cover your ass, that's unless you're a bad teammate, if not THEN I'll cap your ass.

Hey.. I've been posting quite a bit of video haven't I? So.. here's another piece of video that I did over the weekend with a friend, will it turn into something regular? I guess it depends if I have the time for it or not.

Damn... maybe I should have just bought up the whole set instead?

Oooo.. this is just such a wonderful song.

In the context of console gaming, I'm not fanboy. No one console company has a monopoly on my gaming interests. No chance in hell am I going to be a one console person. I go where the games I want to play are.

And right now that means the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii, I'm not giving up one console just because I'm playing another one. I'm just enjoying myself in all the great games I can play, and one day.. with my son.

That said... bias wise I'll always lean towards... Nintendo for giving me the best gaming experience since.... hmmmm... a long long long time ago.

Mmmm... motion controled simplified boxing. Very nice!!
