When you’re playing video games with a 3rd person view, most especially FPS, movement and freedom is intuitive and natural. But how would that translate if our OWN lives are viewed as such? Well, student Marc Owens has made such a device. He mounted a video camera on bars at the back of a padded suit. [...] ...

A New Look For GMTristan.Com
2007-12-27 04:00:17
One of the things I need to tick off my “to-do” list is a new site design for gmtristan.com. Not that I don’t like the current design. I actually love it. It serves its purpose. But here are several reasons why I’m eyeing a redesign: Navigation - visitors should be able to access information clearly. Sections should be [...] ...

Something innovative and witty from youtube. Credit goes to ValorofMan for uploading the video. This is a video cartoon that satires the God of War 2 lyrics.

I used to pester my mom for excuse letters when I was still at school. So far, she wrote straight to the point and my teachers would well, excuse me from such things as the common cold, fever and even intestinal flu.

Parents Guide to Monitoring Video Games
2007-12-23 04:02:14
A lot of people think that Gaming is Evil. Well, if you let it control you, it can be. Some even blame criminal or violent behavior on video games. But I really think that parents should be closely monitoring what their kids play. I’m not saying that it’s the sole responsibility of parents, but they do [...] ...

Level Up Building Catches Fire
2007-12-21 11:24:24
Well… not the building, it’s actually the Christmas Belen just at our facade. The fire started about an hour ago (6:00pm) right after the Children’s Christmas party. It’s good that guards and employees of Pacific Star managed to put out the fire with extinguishers. And, like a typical Pinoy flick, the firemen and their fire engines arrived [...] ...

[ video ] Mr. T WoW TV Ad
2007-12-18 09:30:32
The marketing guys at Blizzard have struck a jackpot with a series of TVCs starring Mr. T and William Shatner. Although Kiven already posted this at his site, it’s worthy of replicating it here. I really think that tri-media and especially TV ads are not normal marketing channels, it’s certainly an exception if you’ve got the [...] ...

Online Games and Social Networks

As part of the online gaming industry, my team and I are constantly trying to solve an elusive mystery - should online game developers (or publishers) create their own social networks? Or should they just play with the big boys, Friendster, Orkut, Myspace, Multiply and Facebook (to name a few)? According to Matt Slagle, who wrote [...] ...
