Mario Kart ,Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear

I finally got my Mario Kart gashapon today! Wohoo! it took 4 month for a fellow gaming blogger to deliver the little piece of mischievous to me. A myriad of reason was given to me when it fail to reach my hand. Forgot to bring lar, store in cold storage lar, not in the mood lar, boeing 707 me lar.

But it all matters not now as it is finally in my hand! Muahahah! My Wario will now have a playing partner in the form of Mario! ( ok that sounded gay ) Granted, the pair of them will be zooming around my desktop for the days to come and providing much needed distraction for colleague from gazing upon what I am doing in my monitor. Kekeke

This morning, I happened on a battered up compact car. The car looks like Jeremy Clarkson went through it with a hammer ( which he probably did, check out the video below )



he car then forcefully insert itself into the traffic and taking a spot right in front of me. Not that I mind, but its just that, can't you take care of your car? I mean come on! Your car looks like it went through heaven and hell with Jeremy Clarkson! Tsk


Anyway, on a brighter note. Top Gear season 10 is now on air, it seems they have yet to lost their charm and sarcasm. Captain slow though have been a bit... slow. No pun intended. His joke is monotonous and it seems he is the butt of all the jokes by Jeremy and Richard.. Oh well! Buck up Captain Slow!

Full Metal Alchemist


For those that have known me, they would be able to see the obsession i have for FullMetal Alchemist. For those that know me but didn't know that little fact, it means I am full of mystery and you shalt never understand the depth of my artistic love! HAH!

That said, for those that have no idea who is FullMetal Alchemist, shame on you! It is like the greatest manga EVER! Worse anime and movie though. No argument about that but the depth of the manga is so deep its scary. That said, let me give a brief history and recap about FullMetal Alchemist

Hagane no Renkinjutsushi or better known as Fullmetal Alchemist tells the story of two brothers and the struggle for them to survive, to thrive and to mature. Created by Hiromu Arakawa ( a chick mind you ) FMA is known best on their alchemy. A long dead skill which was said to be nothing but fanciful thinking. Witchcraft, some would call it but with a twist. Alchemy combines the element of Chemistry, Biology, Physic and magic in one shot. The ultimate science, so to speak. Where matter can be converted if you understand the chemistry of it, and reconstruct to whatever matter that you want it to be as long as its made out of the same strand of Chemistry. Cool eh?

Anyway, its not the alchemy that captures my heart. Its the character, the mystery that was weave into the many woven history of the manga and how the character evolve, how layer after layer of the story are unveiled like onion skin. The humor of the story is vast and hits the spot. The fight skin are creatively imagined and the graphic is just spectacular. No details are too minor to ignore and no character are too minor to be forsaken. God bless Arakawa.

Anyway, FMA is a good story to read. It makes you think of what is right and what is wrong. Is everything done for greater good is good? Is everything the way its supposed to be? Do you take life for granted and lastly the motto of the anime.
The Law of Equivalent Trade. To obtain something, something of equivalent value must be given in return.

Anyway, the gist of the post today is that I found two artbook of Full Metal Alchemist on Play-Asia. Retailing at US 22.90. I would be buying both book pretty soon. The thing is this, I only have enough fund to get one now. Anyone wanna sponsor the other one for me?

Zelda DS Lite Blue & White Mod


Remember THIS post way back in May 2007? Quite a few people lamented about the lack of such mod anymore in the market. Well, if you are still interested there is another mod alike this one currently on sale in E-Bay HERE


Zelda modded way back in May 2007

15% of the proceed from this sale will be given to Child's Play charity. Quite frankly the color looks at odd with each other and I see no familiarity of the mod with Zelda game. Blue and flashing green light? Bleh.. But anything goes if the mod is from Zelda and part of the earning are given over to charity.



What are you waiting for? Time to bid! The bidding price now is at $ 285. Not a bad deal for such a mod.
