Razer Blade

When anyone talks about PC gaming laptops, one brand stands above all...Alienware! Yes that weird looking futuristic interchangeable backlit laptop which gives any gamer the ego to say...Fuck Apple and your Mac Book Pro! The M17x was the ideal gaming laptop but I was always a fan of the M11x for its portability and decent power.

Razer now brings us the Razer Blade and I have two words to describe it. Brute and Bling! This piece of hardware made me forget the MX11 that I wanted so bad! This laptop is just so darn sexy! Power wise, it falls short from the powerhouse MX18 but it still packs the following badass specs. The custom keys a.k.a Switchblade was a brilliant idea and nobody can deny that this device was well designed. 

See the full gallery on Posterous

Mr.Tan talks about the device in this video and this is Razer's answer to the recent topic that "PC gaming is dead". I don't think we are heading to that idea especially with DOTA 2 and Diablo 3 hitting the shelves soon.

You like? You might want to think again as it will cost $2800 and you can get a decent Alienware unit at half the price.

Jo Beats by Dr.Dre

This is what you get when your group of friends are graphic designers. You get tagged with silly FB posts like that Beiber Slipknot mega-mix which drove Slipknot fans crazy...

This comment from a fan got me laughing:

Slipknot = Holy Justin Bieber = SHİT Slipknot + Justin Bieber = HOLY SHİT

Jo Beats by Dr.Dre from EdgeGrip is seriously insane!  If we had a local music artist to have a version of Dr.Dre's beats, who would it be? Francis M, Ely Buendia, or JG a.k.a Janno Gibbs? Forget that idea...now i know why I belong to the same group.

Where's Wall-E

Richard Sargent comes up with an illustration featuring 180 robots with the challenge to find Pixar's Wall-E. The challenge is not so difficult after years of wasted hours looking for Waldo or compared to that crazy Magic Eye frenzy that happened during the 90's. Fun part about this challenge is for you to tag the other robots and find other popular robots from films and TV shows. Have Fun!

Types of Designers

(*Image by tuwidesign.)

 If you have been in a design studio, group, or a freelance designer who does colab work with others, you should have noticed by now that there are different designers out there. You might be the designer who simply complies to what the client wants regardless of gazillion changes or whatever bizarre request there is based on 30 cool things found on x number of projects...or maybe you have worked with that strong willed designer who does not give a damn about everyone else because everyone is an inferior being in his eyes.

  Aidan Huang comes up with an article which describes designers today as the following:

The Perfectionist

The Albert Einstein Designer

The David Copperfield Designer

The Captain Hook Designer

The Mahatma Gandhi Designer

The Bashful Dwarf Designer

The Ella of Frell Designer

 Now what kind of designer are you?

Azkals and the PH Dragon Boat Team

I agree that the support the Azkals are getting will help increase awareness to the sport and might interest a number of people to play the game. It's fun and I had my share of games way back in high school. You can see Azkal ads everywhere but it is true that the dream which was the World Cup is no more.

Looking around, I got the chance to read how well the Philippine Dragonboat team won 5 Golds and 2 Silvers in the recent International Dragon Boat Federation World Championships in Tampa Bay, Florida. For those who are not aware that this team exsisted, don't be so hard on yourself. I saw a random tweet today revealing these stats:

PH Dragon Boat team (2011): 5 Golds, 2 Silvers, 0 commercials, 90% Pinoy

PH Azkals: 0 Golds, 0 trophies, 5 TV ads, 20% Pinoy

I understand that the Dragonboat team = army men and the Askals = commercial/underwear models but I think the Dragonboat team needs more visibility. I know its not everyone's dream to row your heart out in manila bay but the team deserves the support for accomplishing what they did this year alone. The team is already happy with less than 10K likes in Facebook while the Askals have almost 60K.

Instead of having something bizzare like a multiple underwear billboard ad for a sports team...Lets just give the PH Dragon Boat Team a big Like!

Custom Dunks for Gamers

Jacob Patterson designs custom Dunks and I must say that I am very impressed with his GOW - Kratos Kicks design.

I also came across these custom Dunks which are also game inspired designs. Now which Dunk are you?
