Out of boredom I decided to give VR a try since anyone can give it a go with their smartphone. You might have heard about Google "Cardboard" where you can create a container for your phone and enjoy VR or 360 video but, it's actually not as simple as cutting holes in a box. You have to buy two lenses to help curve the video being projected by...

I didn't really resort to any guides or hints until I started gettiing the same Angel which was Israfel but, it was fun seeing what I ended up with initially without a guide. I recommend you try playing without this guide too first or if you're here, you've probably done that already. Unfortunately there is no official guide as to how to...

I was quite excited when I learned Bandai was going to release an Evangelion themed Tamagotchi, "All Purpose Oval Weapon, Evatchi (エヴァっち)" early in the year June 13th. I wasn't too keen on the idea of raising an Angel but being an Eva fan it was going to be a fun collectible. So I was quite disappointed when I found all the stores online...

Haven't been to a Scotland Loves Animation for several years now but kept an eye out for Weathering with You this year since the disc release is probably still a long way off. It was pretty much a given since the event screened Your Name the last time before disc release. I dropped into GFT to buy a ticket on the same day the organisers...

Japanese console scene hasn't been that interesting for me lately, nor has the Western PC scene so I decided to start Final Fantasy XIV again 6 years after playing up to the end game of Bahamut Coil in the original A Realm Reborn (AKA v2.0). So here I was 3 expansion packs later, buying the "Complete Edition" which includes the expansions...

I was inspired to do this post after realising how many locations I recognised from shows and games I've played after visiting Japan. You will probably too once you've been since so many fictional works are based on real life locations and the great thing is you won't have to go out of your way to find these places unlike say Makoto...

First Anime reviews round-up post of the year. Full time work just makes me too exhausted to enjoy games during weekdays these days, haha. Not to mention there's little time left once I've commuted back home so back to sporadic posts ^^; Some time has passed since the world was at war fighting one another with ultra magnetic weapons of...

It's been 8 years since I last wrote about where to find import Japanese pop culture/otaku Anime goods in Hong Kong so I thought I'd write about it again. I visit HK frequently so it's worth knowing about these places for me being a big fan of Japanese video games and Anime. Not much has really changed since that post in 2009 but there are a...

Hong Trail Section 8 AKA "Dragon's Back" is referred to as the "best hiking trail in Asia" by a lot of English travel guides so I had to see for myself after tackling Wilson's Trail Section 2. It's longer at 8.5km instead of 6.6km but supposedly easier. I chose to go during the weekdays when it's less busy and it was 24C - Pretty much a...

I decided to go to the outskirts of Hong Kong, Tin Shui Wai to visit the Wetland Park because it looked like an interesting place to visit. To get to the park you can take the metro to Kowloon Tong Station before switching to the overground trains to Hung Hom. Then you can take the tram and if you get off at Tin Sau Station instead of Wetland...
