Fundamentalists never cease to amaze me



Not that I'm defending Satan or anything, but since when did being intelligent become the sign of the devil?

Does this have anything to do with Creationism? Intelligent Design?

Or are the Fundamentalists just sick and tired of losing to debates and court cases built on and conducted with the use of proper logic?

Inquiring Nerds need to know!

Witch Hunter Robin

Just finished watching the entire series and I have to say that it's interesting, but doesn't quite get me riled up or anything. What probably killed most of my excitement is the pacing. Somehow the show tends to drag it's feet on a lot of parts, and instead of each episode having something to look forward to, you end up praying that the next episode gives more.

But having said that I do like the gear, and visually the anime is pretty good. Weapon designs, character designs and even the overall mood of the show is consistent and very nice for me.

I wouldn't recommend this as a buy, but renting it would be a pretty good idea. If you've got the patience to last until episode 14, then you get to the actual plot of the anime.

Overall, I'd give this a two out of five. It's watchable, but not that exciting.

Just when I thought I could save a little more money...

New RPGs pop up from nowhere. :p

Qin the Warring States Period is a French RPG about Mythic China during the Qin Dynasty. The art is fantastic, and the system seems to be pretty simple to understand and use.

While I like Weapons of the Gods, this seems to be more up to par with the power levels and wire-fu that I expect from a Wuxia game, rather than what WotG seems to be up to. No god weapons here, just "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" style stunts and physics defying activities similar to those you see in the "Hero" movie.

Here's another image from the game to impress you.

That was the one picture that sealed the deal for me. Now I just have to scrounge up the necessary cash to buy it when it comes out... thankfully, it's scheduled for a US release at around August so I've got time.

Jeepney by Kala



Here's a video with a college friend of ours Grape, as the lead singer of the band Kala. Enjoy. :)

Kate should remember Grape, she and I fended off some guy's angry girlfriend when Grape got his phone stolen or something. Long story, but a one of the more memorable moments of Neutral Grounds DLSU.
