Traveling Japan: Gundam & Gundam Front @ Odaiba

Traveling Japan: Gundam & Gundam Front @ Odaiba

A trip to Japan is simply not complete without visiting a giant robot. And a Gundam robot no less. Apparently, it had originally been placed closer to the waterfront, so that you can get this really epic feeling that the robot was real and standing at the ready for battle. Now it’s in front of the massive Diver City Mall, which is slightly less epic, as it looks more like a commercial attraction, but it’s […] Continue »

Attack on Titan: The Game

Attack on Titan: The Game

So apparently, some totally obsessed fan made a tribute game to the anime and manga series Attack on Titan. I totally understand how this fan feels. It’s simply terrible sitting around waiting for the next season to be made and released. However, though this game is not exactly visually striking, it strikes paralyzing terror in me every time one of those titans opens its mouth to bite someone. In watching the group game play video […] Continue »

Mortal Kombat Legacy’s Bad Japanese?

Mortal Kombat Legacy's Bad Japanese?

I just watched all of Mortal Kombat Legacy 1 and 2, and it was fun, action packed, and nostalgic in a violent sort of way. It took me back to when I used to sit on the sidelines watching people play the game and screaming out in disgust at the crazy violent brutalities, I mean fatalities. Aside form the excessive violence, I like stuff like this, fantasy adventure martial arts with Asian mythology themes. Out […] Continue »

Mortal Kombat Cutest Fatality

Mortal Kombat Cutest Fatality

Few games are as brutal and gut-wrenching as a the Mortal Kombat franchise and its infamous fatalities in which heads are sliced in half, spines are pulled out, and blood and guts are basically spewed everywhere. But what happens when the fatality’s a cute one? After getting a boost from a mention on Kotaku, this EMC Monkeys’ video in celebration of the newest season of Machinima’s Mortal Kombat Legacy II has been making the rounds […] Continue »

Stereotypical Asian Character in “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn”

Stereotypical Asian Character in "Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn"

I love playing Halo. So I really had a load of fun watching the webseries Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Aside from giggling like a school girl every time the Warthog drove by (that’s my Halo ride) and screaming “Duel wield!” every time they found a weapon on the ground, I calmed down enough here and there to notice that there was an Asian American character Junjie Chen (Osric Chau) among the cadet soldiers in […] Continue »

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

I love Studio Ghibli films, Pokemon, and the Japanese role-playing game series “The Tales”. So when I heard about the Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, I was thrilled. Not only does it integrate the best game play from both Pokemon and Tales, it is done within a Studio Ghibli universe, which guarantees awe-inspiring visuals and down-the-rabbit-hole creativity. To top it all off, the whole musical score was written by one of my […] Continue »

TechCrunch: How The Huang Brothers Bootstrapped Guitar Hero To A Billion Dollar Business

TechCrunch: How The Huang Brothers Bootstrapped Guitar Hero To A Billion Dollar Business

Living in Silicon Valley, TechCrunch is one of those “must read” tech blogs to find out what’s going on in the Valley and the tech scene overall, especially related to tech startups. A week ago or so, Startup Grind (“a community of founders, entrepreneurs, and wantrapreneurs”) did a terrific guest blog post and video interview with Charles Huang, co-founder of Red Octane – the creators of Guitar Hero. The video interview is over an hour, […] Continue »

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Expansion Pack’s Asian Fantasy Land

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Expansion Pack's Asian Fantasy Land

When it comes to Blizzard Entertainment games, Starcraft is my number one favorite. I’ve never been drawn to play World of Warcraft since I generally prefer aliens over orcs. World of Warcraft has always sounded interesting primarily because it is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which means it’s like a massive virtual environment that multiple people can log into, create their own characters, and complete missions or otherwise romp around in. I love […] Continue »
