If you peeps missed the other night’s Conan O’Brien with Will Arnett on it, here’s a replay for you:

Here’s the something considerably ‘note-worthy’. Apparently, a good portion of the interview all he, Will Arnett talked about was playing Call of Duty 4.
Kinda kewl I guess. Though to be honest, I don’t really watch Conan O’Brien that much.

If only I could be the little girl in the image below…

Have I mentioned that Sanrio announced, roughly 2 weeks ago, that opening of it’s closed beta for the Hello Kitty Online MMORPG?
Guess not eh?
Duh. I only learnt about it today. Haha!
I remember signing up for information on this about a year ago now, but apparently they did away with the contact lists, because I didn’t receive notification at all.
Thank god I was totally bored and have nothing else interesting to write in this long-gone-outdated blog of mine. Otherwise, I’d …

Here’s something to feast your eyes upon.
Apparently the latest to leave GameSpot is Jason Ocampo?
Who is he you ask?
Well, according to the source, he was the PC Editor at GameSpot and before that worked at CNET Game Center.
“I do want to say it was not something I was thinking about or planning,”
explained Ocampo during the HotSpot.
“Three weeks ago, I had no idea I would be leaving and… (I had an opportunity and) it was time to move on. It was the hardest decision I think I’ve ever made in my …

According to Amazon.com, the current US Best Sellers is pre-orders for Smash Bros. Brawl.
I guess that comes to no surprise. However, in a surprising appearance, Petz Hamsterz 2 is in the 2nd place! The power of DS?
And of course, the all time favorite, Wii, is the big winner again this week with 6 outta 10 off the Top 10 spots.
Here is your Top 10:

This is way outdated I must say, but since the hotel isn’t exactly opened until September 2008. It is still new worth talking about.

In a gaming first Aloft Hotels is going to debut its new hotel online in Second Life before the actual bricks-and-mortar hotel opens in 2008.
In September, Second Life’s visitors will be able to enter an aloft hotel and interact with others as they get a sneak peek at the hotel before the first aloft opens its doors. Visitors can follow the development progress of building the 3-D …

Love is most definitely in the air.
After all, in 2 days times it’s Valentine’s Day eh?

Here’s a little something to shine some light to those that WoW all day.
According to WoW Insider:
Sharp-eyed tipster Aikiwoce spotted this dead ringer for a certain object that rhymes with “freighted D’Artagnan noob” outside the Stormwind gates, presumably as part of the “Love Is in the Air” holiday that kicked off today.
This was dated yesterday in case you’re wondering.
Sigh. If only Teddybear still plays World of Warcraft.
Anyhow.

Don’t leave home without one

If you need to take care of the old ones and still make it for a game launch, clan match or anything like that.
Well… It’s time to look at options isn’t it?
When it comes to long-term care, we all want to make the right choice – for ourselves and our loved ones.
So arranging the right kind of care is crucial for your welfare and your peace of mind.
(I know, this really isn’t selling well at all. Still…)
Anyhow.
Did you know that care homes are like nursing home?
Like duh. It’s quite obvious.

Loving the shopping cart!

Some time ago I wrote about the idea of doing up this new online game shop with this shopping cart software from Ashop Commerce, well, it’s almost done. Seriously.
You may think it’s an advertorial entry or something, but well… It isn’t. I actually installed it and playing around with it right now!
But of course, I’m not releasing it until later days. Got some integration to meddle with before I proceed on actually advertising the site and all. (If I can successfully integrate it that is.)

Geeky is the new Beautiful?

I do not deny that I love the camera most of the time, but while playing Counter-Strike, is kinda over the edge.

Sigh. I wish I had 20/20 eye sight, but well… Apparently I don’t.
If you paid attention the so-called trend lately, you’d notice this that more and more females are kinda into the whole ‘geeky look’ thing. (I’m a natural by the way, considering that fact that I was once a nerd.)

Typo perhaps? Hardly.
The game Need for Speed attracted gazillion gamers (exaggeration) around to world, correct me if I’m right. However, sometimes speed isn’t always what’s worth.
If I’ve not mistaken the LAN centre, Speedy, has been around for quite a while. It’s located in Prinsep Street, beside what was once E-Games (which according to GameSync – mysteriously closed down).
Something that puzzles me.
With the publicity Gaming Giants (aka GG) is getting from the media, Speedy with such horrid ‘gaming environment’ and located within the same district as one of GG outlets, seems …
