Woohoo! Another movie of the Underworld Series. Scheduled for release in January of 2009, this movie is actually a prequel to the first Underworld movie.

Sixteen centuries ago, a man named Alexander Corvinus was the only survivor of a plague that wiped out his village. Somehow, the man's body was able to mutate the virus, mold it to his own benefit and become the first true immortal. Later, he had three sons, one of whom did not inherit his father's immortality and was simply human. The other two were bitten, one by bat and one by wolf, creating the Vampire and Lycan lines. Corvinus' third son also carried the Corvinus Strain, hidden away in his genetic code — an exact duplicate of the original virus, passed along to his human descendants through the centuries. This, according to Singe, is the key to creating a Hybrid.

The prequel is about how the centuries-old war between the vampires, also known as Death Dealers and the Lycans, who were once their slaves. A Lycan named Lucian evetually rose as the leader of the Lycans and gathers them to fight against the vampires and their king, Viktor who has enslaved them. If you remember the story, Viktor had a daughter, Sonja who became Lucian's lover. She joins the Lycans in their fight for freedom. ^^ Really cool story.

Short info about the movie..

This movie is a modern-day love story between a teenage girl, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and a vampire. Her mother re-marries and sends her to live with her father. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But then a clan of new vampires - James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) - come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life.

My girlfriend's dyin' to watch it on the big screen. ^^

Halloween's over! Time to move on to the most wonderful time of the year! I've already placed a countdown, maybe I'll change that to one with a more Christmas feel.

We just love Christmas.. The atmosphere, the lights, the trees, and all those toys and neat stuff we all like to have. Heck, even my girlfriend and I started our relationship on the month of December.

I thought I'd share this great website my girlfriend found. It's about how wonderful the internet is but with a Christmas touch to it. Perhaps we could inspire people to get into the Christmas spirit with this amusing site.

Check it out here.

Happy Holidays everyone! hehe

w000t. We actually made $3.26 in one day on this thing. Ok that's not really a lot, but all we did was click on a few things and answered some quick surveys. Maybe spent a total of a couple of hours. You have to wait for your work to get approved though.. But hey, we got paid. Something to do if you got a bit of time to spare and you wanna make a quick buck.

They pay you to do HITS (human intelligence tasks), like writing reviews, labeling images, quick surveys, transcriptions, things that require a human. 0_0 And the pay ranges from good $10 per hit to $0.01 per hit. That cent can go a long way if you got the time in your hands.

You can convert the cash you get for Amazon cash certificates you can use to buy stuff on amazon. Or if you got a US bank account, actually withdraw your cash.

Ok it's really hard not to notice all those ads. Looks like NDoors Interactive really went all out on the advertising.

Another promising new game with already plenty of great reviews. What's actually different with this MMO is that its turn-based! Yep, all you Final Fantasy fans out there might want to give this one a try. Graphics are awesome too. But what really got my attention to this game is their very 'attractive' guarantee. If somehow your mmorpg craving wasn't really satisfied, they're offering to BUY your character for $20! wooot.. They are also giving away more than $30,000 in cash and prizes like PSPs, IPods, and Wii's.

Check out the game here.

Lately, I've been finding myself looking for a new mmorpg to waste my time on. I miss my "adik mode" days, its more like "adik nights" actually. One has to satisfy his gaming needs. Or perhaps I just have a bit too much free time. Anyway, its appears the gaming gods are kind for they have bestowed new games upon us pinoy gamers.

This one looks promising. LevelUpGames PH is bringing Emil Chronicles Online to the Philippines. Cute animations and sounds. Reminded me so much of my first mmorpg, Ragnarok, which will always hold a special place in my heart. I think I read somewhere that Gravity, the makers of Ragnarok, is part of the group responsible for this game which is GungHo Online Entertainment.

Video trailer and screenshots after the jump.

Here's the story:

Emil Chronicle Online takes place in the land of Acronia. There exists three races; Emil (human race), Titania (angels), and Dominion (demons). In relation to our understanding of the worlds Tatania is above the world of Acronia, while Dominion is below it. In the distant future the civilization completely depleted the earth’s valuable resources. In its search for new resources worlds which were never meant to be connected were bridged. Complete chaos ensued between the three races. Humans entered into the heavens and underworlds, realms never meant for them. From the aftermath of chaos was the emergence of a new history. There was a great effort to rebuild and regroup as each race reclaimed their rightful spot in the world.

Features

1. Cell-shaded animation
2. Lots of Characters - Play twelve classes across three races. Character customization ranges from hair styles to accessories such as hand bags.
3. The 3 Racial Types
   • Emil have high VIT
   • Titania have high MAG
   • Dominion have high STR
4. Marionette System - The “Marionette System” allows a player to morph their character to a marionette. The marionette can then do quests or can be turned into an accessory for other players.
5. In-game cinema
6. Piggyback Monsters - Players may place a “Piggyback Monster” on their back to aid in game play.
