E3 2012: Nintendo's press conference

Johnathan Sia — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:02:16 +0800

Wrote a couple of blog posts following on from Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference where they revealed the Wii U and I'll write another long analysis once today's press con is over. In the meantime, I'm starting up this topic so we can rage/rave about today's announcements as they happen.

Just heard on Twitter of a rumour that Mass Effect is headed for the Wii U. That would be earth-shatteringly awesome if it was true.

Rayman Legends (Wii U)

Any of you guys seen the trailer, I mean game demonstration yet? My reaction is - Take my money now! The co-op aspect looks phenomenal, like Trine on crack

Anyone know where i can find the limited edition skyward sword motion plus bundle? Only one I saw so far is fr a seller in lelong.com.my who's based in Johor. Selling for Rm300...

Trying to hunt it down in kl first though.

Fill out this survey and get Monkey Island free!

Monkey Island for free http://www.destructoid.com/fill-out-this-s...ee-204394.phtml

Looks like those of us who have an NTSC US Wii can benefit! Let me know if any of you succed with this as I'm not sure whether they block ppl based on IP (easily solved I think if you Google around)

From Destructoid:
Specifically, you'll get Tales of Monkey Island episodes 4 & 5 for free on WiiWare by filling out this survey. Yeah, that's it. Just follow the instructions on the survey and you'll get the games for free. Note that this only for people in North America and there are limited quantities available.

Speaking of free Telltale games, you can get the first episode of Monkey Island Tales HD for free on the iPad RIGHT NOW. The offer is good until July 22. Episodes 2 through 5 will be on sale starting tomorrow for $6.99 per episode.

All this free stuff sounds like it'll be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. On an island.

Rock Bank

Johnathan Sia — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:09:55 +0800

Was typing out a message regarding Rock Band when I accidentally typed in Bank instead... seems kinda apt though for a series that's churning out at a pretty quick rate (though not as quick as Guitar Hero)...

Shocking!

I just called up both Gamers Hideout centres and neither of the staff members who answered my phone knew what Metroid Prime was and what system it was on. Doesn't sound like a real gamers hideout to me if they don't even know what Metroid Prime is ;p

My DS died :(

Johnathan Sia — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:20:27 +0800

Now in hospital with Bernard being the doctor... hopefully can fix... So far from what I've read on various message boards... looks like a blown fuse problem... if so, then looks like can be fixed... gotta wait and see...

Darn... so many problems with my DS lite right now... it's amazing that my original DS phat is going strong despite me having bought it less than a month after it was introduced to the world... only problem with it is I've got a line of dead pixels on it now...

Win's Art & Stationery Supplies

Johnathan Sia — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:04:47 +0800

Wife was pretty sad that this place has closed down, esp since she studied in Lim Kok Weng whilst it was still situated in Taman Mayang. My wife even did up some sort of testimonial compilation from comments from Facebook users.

Anyone got some sort of forwarding address or mobile phone number? I was even thinking of tracking 'Aunty Win' from company registrations... Wife wanted to give the testimonial compilation to 'Aunty Win' but found out today that the shop had closed down already.

OT (Over time)

Johnathan Sia — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:01:32 +0800

Companies and employees in Malaysia have a love-hate relationship with OT. Yeah, you guessed it. Employees seem to demand it while companies do seem to do their best not to give it. What do you think? Perhaps you're an employer and can't afford to pay OT? Perhaps you're an employee and need the extra cash?

For the purposes of this poll, OT is treated as a cash benefit whether it comes from MacDonalds or from a professional services firm.

Competition: Deloitte Tax Challenge 2009

Johnathan Sia — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:24:37 +0800

3 June - 19 August 2009
Are you ready to put yourself to the test?
The Deloitte Tax Challenge is back after a successful 2008!

Take the team challenge:
This competition will challenge your team’s powers of reasoning and working creatively with limited resources (in the real world, most of us don’t have multi-million ringgit budgets). While working to get the best out of each other, you and your team will experience real business issues such as acquisitions, mergers, divestments, and restructuring. Success requires a blend of careful planning with a dash of good judgment under pressure but, don’t forget it’s also important to win the approval of the 'board of directors'. Otherwise your great ideas will come to nothing.

Or take the individual challenge
This competition will separate the weed from the chaff, and well, the tax savvy from the not so tax savvy. Your tax knowledge will be challenged more than once as you head towards the ultimate prize. Along the way, you'll experience real business issues such as acquisitions, mergers, divestments, restructuring and so on. If you perservere, keep a cool head and are able to show your stuff to the 'board of directors', you'll be well in the running for the grand prize of RM2,000!

For more information, download the brochure or visit the Deloitte Challenge website. You can also drop an email to mydtc@deloitte.com

Football fields for rent for night matches?

Johnathan Sia — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:41:34 +0800

Anyone know which football fields I can reasonably rent for night football matches? (Yeah I know of the existence of Shah Alam stadium and Bukit Jalil stadiums but they're for companies to rent... not individuals...)
