…is that they don’t seem appreciative of the local media. Even with my peeps slogging their butts off at Blizzcon and Gamescon, and with me doing coverage on this year’s E3, there’s no real mention of us on our local forums.

I guess part of the fault lies at us not plugging our content hard enough, but c’mon: we’re trying damn hard here! We’re not 1up/gamepro/any other really big gaming website media hub; we can’t get stuff a few weeks in advance unless it’s something from a big publisher in the local firm. If you happen to be one of those who start mocking us because we sit on our asses all day and give hand-out reviews or “sell-out” or some nonsense like that, then I guess Emoboy is right calling you all out with his “Why Singapore Stinks” write-up here.

Having said that; for those who at least come up to us and say “hi” while we’re doing work or just mucking about pretending to do work, we appreciate it a lot. Thanks! See, I’m all not just about bottled-up angst.

- I’ll have to get the Summer Games feature thing wrapped up on GameAxis soon enough. In the meantime, have some Batman retro-talking.

- I found a new stray around the neighborhood. He/she is black-colored with patches of white on its underside. I shall name it Heaven & Hell. Symbolistic naming at its finest!

- Movie-night followed by Brewerkz on Saturday was fun. Note to self: bring radio to tune in to these outdoor viewings next time.

- Games on tap: Shadow Complex (finished), Arkham Asylum (finished, now on Hard), Tales of Monkey Island Episode 2 (still in progress due to lab computer borking), Prof. Layton & The Diabolical Box (gonna continue at work tomorrow).
