Is there some new scam/worm/botnet making the rounds? A lot of weird chatbots have been adding me on Yahoo Msngr recently. :/
they see me rollin’, they hatin’…
Again, we’re presenting a postmortem of Wildfire at tomorrow’s IGDA manila meetup. Please do come if interested. :) http://bit.ly/c1Bhin

@byimplication will be at this July’s IGDA Manila meetup, presenting a post-mortem of Wildfire. Do come! http://bit.ly/c6MbaI
We spoke at Xavier earlier this morning. (Haven’t gotten up *that* early in a while…) Met a much warmer response than expected. :)
@yapsestagle which phone did you eventually decide on?
You can grab Wildfire @byimplication from our temporarily ugly site: http://byimplication.com/ :)
Magic Trackpad… not sure if want. The other new hardware, on the other hand…
http://css3please.com/ is so awesome for cross-browser CSS3 effects.
@xtauymatiao wow, you play starcraft? or RTSes in general? :))
Okay, turns out the Starcraft 2 Guest Pass thing gives you 7 hours of play. Mabibitin lang ako. Hahaha. Need to acquire own copy.
It’s not mine though. :( The included starcraft 2 guest pass trial things are a brilliant move, however.
StarCraft 2! Whoo! http://twitpic.com/292zxg

An old video, but one beautiful and profound enough to be worth re-sharing. “We Are Here: The Pale Blue Dot.” http://youtu.be/2pfwY2TN…
OH WELL. hahaha.
@tro_jan Also for the sake of school pride, and all that. But the ice cream definitely helps, doesn’t it? ;)
@hirika FIC will be at the campus of the winning school. So yes, we do.
I’d like Ateneo to beat La Salle, if only for the free ice cream in school. Haha.
@yapsestagle Happy birthday dude :)
@chamiewong Thanks! :D (sorry late, haha.)
@xtauymatiao Sure.
New StarCraft 2 trailer, just a few days before release. (July 27!) http://youtu.be/C_E83GfW…
“End call” sticker that goes on iPhone 4’s weak spot. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it achieves the opposite effect. http://bit.ly/ciVEYC
@richtuason No it wasn’t. :/

@oceansandwaves There’s a shop near us called “Adobo Putoshop”
@sarmikael I wouldn’t call it ready for everyday use yet. It gets quite warm, mobile data and bluetooth don’t work. Touch response is laggy.
@tjmanotoc You can just type “123 USD in PHP” in Google to get conversions. Works also with stuff like “40 km/h in mph”
Got my phone to dual-boot iOS 4 and Android 2.2/froyo. #geek http://twitpic.com/26ruoh
@richtuason I think these elements made Inception more palpable to me. (totems as reality checks, nested dreams like false awakenings, etc.)
@ImagineCupJP uploaded a video of our Game Design finalist presentation at the Warsaw Opera House. Thanks! http://youtu.be/_d9paPmK…
Actually, after thinking about Inception, I think Christopher Nolan was inspired by some techniques/elements of Lucid Dreaming.
Just watched Inception with @ginoafable and Kenneth Umali. It was awesome. Go watch it.
iOS 4 on an old iPhone 3G. I totally relate, & it’s worse when you unofficially enable multitasking/backgrounds. http://youtu.be/Pdk2cJpS…
David Wildgoose has an article on NomNom’s Shift on Kotaku Au. http://j.mp/d03FVp He also did Green Gears… looking forward to the next ;)
Hello there with @tjmanotoc #wildfirefinals http://twitpic.com/25goyq
@marionjames05 Thanks! It was also our pleasure to have you guys there :D You guys should try for IC again next year!
@levi_io Why, you feel validated as a game designer? :))
A lot of people still don’t have electricity. :O Kurt came over to go online and play games (as expected).
MrAndyPuppy want to know if the games students make for #imaginecup can stack up in the real world? Read Kotaku’s take: http://tinyurl.com/GDIC2…
@hirika That’s so sad. :( I never got him to like me…
imaginecup Great blog post from Wouter Devinck from Belgian Software Design team #ImagineCup http://bit.ly/cUssPo
@hirika What happened to Taka? :(
@enaescanan May fanboys pala ako. :o
@yapsestagle It looks very… inspired. (See what I did there?)
Looks like typhoon #basyang decided to shift course towards Manila. Stay safe guys. http://bit.ly/8XjzfP (off now, should conserve battery.)
ateneodemanilau Please stay safe as Typhoon Basyang hits Metro Manila. Call the Meralco hotline 16211 to report for outages in your area.
I was walking down the hallway, when the power went out. Then I walked into an open door. Fail.
Okay, power’s out. Thank you, epic wind.
Agreed. RT @chamiewong: Why did we have to graduate? =( I miss being a student and hanging out with people alllllll dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
My nose disagrees with this weather. /sipon
@ginoafable try NetNewsWire or NewsFire.
@richtuason Not quite. (probably out of my own pocket) We want to use it wisely for our future plans. :)
I need to buy an Xbox 360 controller. And probably an Xbox 360 too. (For dev’t, not playing on, but I’d like that too. ;)
@GreenLight85 thanks! haha.
@tjmanotoc That sounds awesome! :) I replied via DM.
ateneodemanilau Team Philippines world’s best in game design! http://ateneo.edu/index…. http://fb.me/Cl6qPjOy
MrAndyPuppy My write up on Game Design Finals for Imagine Cup 2010 http://tinyurl.com/GDIC2… #imaginecup (please RT for students)
@richtuason Not sure. Apparently, someone told them that we registered as a team officially from Ateneo, which is not the case.
Philippine Star fails. I’d like to make clear that @levi_io is from UP, and Kenneth is from DLSU. http://bit.ly/cR2scN
I slept nearly 12 hours straight last night. (Probably because I barely slept during the trip.)
@richtuason It takes more than that.
okay, so now I’m tempted to do facebook, if only to keep in touch with people.
Just arrived in the airport. Lugging around a big check elicits stares, but plus side, shorter lane. Hello again Manila!
At the Schipol airport in Amsterdam. Really wish I weren’t on the way home. #imaginecup flew by really quickly, like a blur.
Thanks everyone for all your support! It really, really means a lot to us. :)
Sun sets at 10pm, rises at 4am. Nights are so short. I’ll miss you, Warsaw. I barely got to know you. /leaving for airport just hrs after IC

@oceansandwaves You can order them as options (I did, but I think they should be standard, really)
@VioletGray Actually, I’d like to find a recorded copy too. Haha. Thanks much! :)
@VioletGray Sorry, I meant I watched them at the actual event earlier. I was just expressing my enthusiasm. Sorry about that!
Watched most of the #imaginecup Embedded Dev + Software Design finalist presentations. There are a lot of inspiring and amazing projects!
You can still watch the #imaginecup winners’ announcement tomorrow, but I wish I shared today’s stream though… :( http://imaginecup.com
I wanted to mention there was live streaming of finalist presentations, but I failed to notice it didn’t get through earlier. Sorry guys. :(

The annoying thing about sites auto-detecting your location is when they change the language to something you don’t understand.

Here at Poland with @levi_io, @wilhansen_li, and team @byimplication. #imaginecup
Pilot, after taxiing: “So we’re here at the gate, but there’s no one operating the mechanism. Maybe they’re watching the game.” #ned airport
At the airport now with @byimplication, @levi_io, and @wilhansen_li. Off to Amsterdam, then Warsaw, Poland! Excited for Imagine Cup :D
Leaving for Poland in a couple of hours. Still working on some materials. Yay cramming. Go @byimplication!
@MentalSidekick Thanks! :D
