The eyes seems to have been revealed compared to yesterday which I blogged at Tech Blog Philippines.

My guess is Diablo III. Blizzard recently grabbed the domain Diablo3.com as reported here a month ago.

UPDATE 07/28: Yes it is Diablo 3!

Woo! Cool! View the teaser trailer here.

Do you love NES games? Have Firefox? Good!

June 8th, 2008 4 Comments »

FireNes is a new Firefox plugin you can use to play all those NES game goodies without downloading a NES emulator or those game packages. You simply download FireNes, restart your Firefox, open up FireNes over at Tools >> FireNes. That opens up over 100 NES games. Games you played when you were a kid (at least for me), now right on your Firefox sidebar.

Double-click a game you want and it opens up automatically without even downloading anything after!

To save you time on the controls, it’s the X & Z. You can view the controls by right-clicking any game on the sidebar.

By the way, FireNes runs on Java (if that means anything to you at all). Also, here’s the English translation if you can’t understand anything on the site.

Enjoy your favorite games and have a good weekend.

Boom! Just like the famous expression of Steve Jobs. :)

I hope Ken is alright after that blow. But I’m pretty much sure he’s going to be in a bad shape after that!

Pretty obvious how much I love games eh?

Friday Madness: Early adopters roundup

September 28th, 2007 1 Comment »

Top of the tech news this week

1. Halo 3 pocketed $170M in 24 hours

I still refuse to play halo! Send me an XBOX360 + a 50″ LCD TV and I’ll think about it.

News source

That also makes me wonder, what the hell is Blizzard doing? Where is Starcraft 2? I thought I heard a Marine say “Hell, it’s about time!”. Different timezone perhaps? Argh!

2. New Palm Centro becomes a reality

This baby will sell on the streets on October 14 for $99. Palm struggles to impress with a good-priced smart phone, and almost everyone is getting an iPhone for $300 more.

3. Exploding Chocolate bar, spy gadget of WWII

Yes! Oh no. Don’t you dare eat this yummy bar. Unless you want to see your maker.

Perfect holiday gift for your kid and another in-need kid. I should say that this is a better gift than Halo 3. Oh wait, did I just say that?

Aren’t you playing it yet? Here are the keyboard controls.

Desktop Tower Defense: Very fun and addictive game

June 10th, 2007 3 Comments »

Desktop Tower Defense: Very fun and addictive game! It looked very simple at the start but actually it isn’t. It requires strategy and tactics to beat the computer. Very hard for beginners but as soon as you get going, you’ll know that there are tricks to beat it.

My tips?

1) Set up a maze (these creeps are stupid).
2) Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade.
3) Know when to sell to divert the creeps
4) Creeps are so stupid, they automatically choose the nearest path. Open a path (sell) to have them go back and then close it again.
5) Use shortcut keys
6) Master timing

Here’s some screenshots of my game from when I started until after 2 hours. Addictive.

Happy weekend.
