Bed and Breakfast in Paris

Posted by miuki as Advertorial

Many accommodations, particularly big chain Paris Hotels are a dime a dozen and the hotel experience will not differ than practically any other hotel in most countries all over the world.

Once in a while, wouldn’t you rather shake your life up a little and experience something that truly gives you a small peek into the French way of life? Particularly in Paris, the City of Light?

Instead of booking that standard chain hotel room and being that typical tourist that just goes and moves along side the hoards of tourists gawking at the world famous landmarks (Tour Eiffel, Arc de Triomphe,le Louvre, Notre Dame, left and right banks, etc) but paying gobs for a teeny tiny hotel room that doesn’t give them personal service, this time look for family run Hotel Paris or a Bed and Breakfast in Paris or thalasso in France.

You will have a different experience altogether, a memorable and personal trip you will cherish for a long, long time. [ Click here to read more ]

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, Invites, Xbox

I really got to get this entries moving along. 2 down 8 more to go!

Next title is none other then…

Ninja Gaiden II

Sigh. All that blood but none from me.

If given the opportunity to really get my hands dirty, I’d really like to ripe this game apart and tell you head to toes how and what makes it bleed. But, hey, boohoo for me. At least I had the opportunity to sit back, relax, and watch the presenter work the blades? [ Click here to read more ]

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, Invites, Xbox

Here’s another take at the Xbox 360’s 2nd Birthday Party at The Screening Room on April 3, 2008.

Title no. 2 (out of the 10 that I’ve promised) is…

Alone in the Dark

Sony talks about new Firmware for PlayStation 3

Posted by miuki as Consoles, PS3

The Playstation 3 is getting a Firmware update, which is no doubt a good thing, I think.

The update is slated for next week, and SCEA has some details of what the firmware entails.

For all you audiophiles out there, you are going to love this. DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio are being added to the Playstation 3. In other words, this will allow you to have the full high definition Blu-Ray experience.

If you have 7.1 surround sound system you are going to absolutely love this “patch” (so to speak). [ Click here to read more ]

Resistance 2 - GTTV Exclusive Teaser HD

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, PS3

Not much of an “exclusive” by now. Since almost ever other gaming site/blog out there has probably already put up the trailer.

Anyhow.

By now I hope you’ve had a chance to check out our most recent Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Now comes the so-called “exclusive” teaser trailer for Resistance 2 from Sony and of course, Insomniac.

As with most teaser trailers, it doesn’t give too much away, but it gives you a good idea of where Insomniac are going with the game. Huge environments, big battles, things exploding. You get the idea. [ Click here to read more ]

Xbox 360 Party: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Posted by miuki as Game Previews, Games, Invites, Xbox

I know I haven’t been updating much lately, exams were in place. But now, since my exams are over and I’m back in action (so to speak) yet again!

Anyhow.

After attending Xbox 360’s 2nd Birthday Party at The Screening Room on April 3, 2008 (3 days before my first paper), I feel the whole gaming spirit in me suddenly rushing out for some air.

We were given a sneak peek at 10 upcoming titles on the Xbox 360, and I’ve have to say that most, if not all, of them look delicious enough to eat! (Too bad I don’t have my own Xbox set yet though.)

10 titles is seriously a little overwhelming for one entry alone, so, for starters, I’m going to present to you…

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Here’s my favorite screenshot outta the 3 (there’s only 4 given to us anyway) that I’ve selected to present to you. [ Click here to read more ]

Telecommunications - Get connected!

Posted by miuki as Advertorial

Communication is the most important tool of getting connected to your loved ones no matter where you are. Thanks to technology things are getting easier as compared to before. Especially telecommunications.

Although cost of telecommunications are rapidly dropping, there are still a particular group of people that would still think twice before paying that extra dollar to make a call back to where they came from.

Yes, I’m referring to those who went aboard, away from their home town to other states for work. As cheap as telecommunications may already be, for these individuals, for example, Philippines and India, cost is always a considering factor to them. [ Click here to read more ]

Bugis Junction VIRTUALAND: “What did you say?”

Posted by miuki as LAN Reviews

We all know that loud sounds hurt our ears drums. Thus, too much loud music from clubs may seriously damage your hearing in a long run. However, there are places that are far worst then clubs. And well… It’s not “music to our ears” at all.

After experiencing the arcade-style-lan-shops, what I can say is,

I’ll pick a club over them anyday, anytime.

Sadly, today isn’t “the day” or “the time”.

Unfortunate for me, Teddybear and gang have decided to torment me by arranging the Counter-Strike session for the evening at non-other then a dreadful arcade-style-lan-shops, which I’m totally against. [ Click here to read more ]
