While I was "Googling(tm)" for more info about my long lost Rings of Power, I came across a website which totally grabbed me and kept me in its grasp for a long, long time..I-Mockery.com
I-Mockery has got to be the most insulting thing you can ever encounter.. that is if you take yourself, your beliefs, and the things around you way too seriously. :) An encounter with the website led to some insights, most of them humorous, which we might have never thought of. The website's staff's attention to detail will give you second thoughts about something which you might have never even noticed. Think of it as a "get back down to earth" rude awakening.
The first article I went into was "Sexual Moments in Video Game History" (due to the Naughty Dog Splash Screen from my previous post). Here they expose some unintentional sexual inuendos made by video game dialog and sprite animations plus some way too blatant suggestiveness too weird to even imagine.
Then I was onto the other articles and sections like Pixel Pals webcomic, a review of the Michael Bay Transformers line of toys, and humorous highlights from the Star Wars films.
Before you do go, please remove all inhibitions and please remove all desire to send hatemail and probably make complete fools of yourselves. Just like the hysterical, weird lady passenger who screamed "YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!" at us in a bus when my colleague discarded a religious organization's flyer after it was handed to him by a volunteer. O.o

The Lost 16-bit Rings
I was searching for information regarding one particular game I played on the Sega Genesis (Megadrive) waay back in college. A little trip (well, maybe a whole lot longer than expected XD) to Wikipedia coughed out a result : Rings of Power!
Rings of Power was a world-spanning RPG (Role-playing Game) similar to Final Fantasy VI (III) in their time. I was completely blown by Rings of Power at the time since it had features like trading and magic schools which is actually cool for an RPG.
Some of the even newer generation RPG's do not compare to Rings of Power due to its immense size, non-linear style, and replay value.
It also has one interesting secret.. When the game boots and you make some button presses on the 2nd controller, the woman on the Naughty Dog splash screen goes topless!

Mid Year Report
I'll probably pretend that only several days have passed since my last entry and not several days plus one year. XD I feel like blogging again.. it soothes the soul of this tired, old warrior. And this warrior needs some heavy duty soothing. So Blogger(tm).. soothe away! XD
How about an update about good old moi?
Well, I'm still working in FMEI but we transferred to a new building across the street. I'm still the supervisor of my old section in customer support. But who gives a flying f*ck about that?
Anyway, it's interesting to find out that most of the links on my blogger are still there but, as good ol' Jim Ross eloquently puts it, "the lights are on! but no one's home!" Only Jeff Vergara's Dubai Chroniclesand Fae's One Screw Loose are still regularly updated. Anyway.. for the sake of brain cobwebs and synaptic ferric oxide, I need to Glo(tm) the grey matter and wipe the mofo dry.
I can feel my rapier wit skewer the motherf*ckin' sanophi boys already. Who are the sanophi boys? Just people I hate because they happen to be Cyan Bloodbane-ish in style and profile. And who you might ask is poor King Lorac? Well, he happens to hold his cellphone in a funny way when he reads SMS. Read Dragonlance(tm) but please don't watch the movie (when it comes out) until I give a recommendation. Raistlin would probably "finger of death" Kiefer in the @$$, because I know I would. I'm blabbering, I know. Now there's a little Glo(tm) in action. :) I need a gallon more though.
Speaking of movies.. I still hate Harry Potter. Number one, the name is stupid. Number two, no self-respecting wizard rides a gay broomstick and uses wands to cast cantrips. Number three, please, no comparisons between J.K. Rowling and J.R.R. Tolkien. Not even close. For crying out loud. Flame me. I dare ya.
I am sorely in need of entertainment. Hopefully, I have the rest of 2007 to abosrb the following:
Books:
1) Dark Disciple 1 and 2 (Amber and Iron, Amber and Blood) part three isn't out yet.
2) Bob Ong's books. PED XING. 'nuff said! XD
3) Dark Tower 5 to 7. Ahehe.. The flashback book lost me. ^^;;
4) Harry Potter. Just kidding. :P
Movies:
1) Mel Brook's movies! Just got a copy of Top Secret! And soon, Spaceballs!
2) Michael Bay's Transformers. Innaccuracies, funky appearances aside and sorely miffed for Bumblebee no longer being a Volkwagen Bug, I still want a piece of the action.
3) Serendipity. Hi VJ! :)
4) Conclusion to Pirates of the Carribean!
Games:
1) Final Fantasy Tactics : The Lion War. There goes 100 hours of my life. XD
2) Metal Gear Portable Ops. I've yet to update my PSP, stuck at 2.71.
