Xbox 360 Party

15 Comments Xbox 360 Party

I attended Xbox 360’s 2nd anniversary (in Singapore) party last night (April 3rd). It’s basically a small invite-only event for developers to showcase some of the upcoming titles to local bloggers and an excuse to have cake. I’m not exactly sure why I was invited, but apparently someone from GameAxis recommended me to the Microsoft [...]

20 Comments Sunset

It’s been about a week since I returned from Tokyo. School’s back in full-swing after two months of being sealed in an alternate dimension. This is going to be one busy year… The one thing that really feels different about being back in Singapore, other than climate, is the sunset. The picture above was taken in [...]

This year’s end-of-year cosplay event was once again held at the Singapore Expo. I dropped by for a bit to take some photos. Pictured above is the best cosplay of the whole event, according to me. Rei does exist in real-life.

Odex has been hacked!

60 Comments Odex has been hacked!

UPDATE 22/11/2007: Ops, it seems that the DNS wasn’t the one that’s compromised. The page wasn’t working for some people so I assumed it was due to slow DNS propagation, but apparently Odex has always been hosted on PacNet (ironic). The hacker gained access to the web server itself, which probably means the SQL database [...]

Attention Singaporean Readers!

55 Comments Attention Singaporean Readers!

I have a small personal request. Now, I usually keep personal stuff out of this blog ever since it stopped being a place where I recount my daily activities with great attention to insignificant details and wanton cynicism. (Those were the days.) But I decided that since I have a decent local readership, it won’t [...]

No more backlogged letters from Odex

53 Comments No more backlogged letters from Odex

According to a forum post by Stephen Sing, as of today (3rd September) no more backlogged letters will be sent out. Odex will not take legal action against you with old evidence. If you stop downloading from today, you are guaranteed, by the man himself, not to get Odex’ed ever. Original thread on Odex forums: If an [...]

NUS Anime Bazaar 2007

12 Comments NUS Anime Bazaar 2007

For some reason, I was coerced into helping to publicize for this event that is happening at the National University of Singapore (NUS) next week. All the really cool stuff takes place at NUS. Anyway, NUS Comics and Animation Society is having some kind of…bazaar or something from 5th to 7th September. It’s really kind [...]

BayTSP to the rescue!

31 Comments BayTSP to the rescue!

Good news for Odex. BayTSP’s chief executive officer Mark Ishikawa is flying all the way to Singapore to help them with their case. And he’s of Japanese descent too! (Well, actually that’s probably unrelated.) Apparently Odex did pay them after all, so I guess it was just a case of terrible paperwork caught in the [...]

Image taken from flash movie by NCH85 Mr. Siew Kum Hong, a Nominated Member of Parliament, posted the important parts of the written judgement by District Judge Earnest Lau, along with some of his own opinions on the matter. He was formerly a lawyer at Rajah & Tann, the laws firm which is representing Odex. Pretty [...]
