This geek has never been much of a Halo fan myself, though I did try my hands at Halo 3. Here’s a press release from Microsoft last Friday on the latest addition to the series, Halo: Reach.
Friday, 23 July 2010 SINGAPORE
Commemorate the Launch of the Biggest Game of the Year with the Xbox 360 Limited Edition “Halo: Reach” Bundle and Accessory.
Microsoft and Bungie also reveal Forge World for “Halo: Reach”, empowering aspiring game designers to build and share unique map creations over Xbox LIVE when the game releases this September (more after the break)
Ravana and TH15 of Team 1MS has done Singapore proud by winning the Dawn of War 2 Asian Finals organised by Replay Interactive, THQ, and Gigabyte at the 2010 Taipei Game Show!
Besides USD1.5k cash, they also win for themselves a Gigabyte M1305 laptop each complete with an additional dock that has a graphics card to add on to your graphics capabilities.
It was a nail-biting finish between Singapore and Taiwan as Team 1MS lost the first round to the Taiwanese boys due to various hiccups. More on their exciting finals here.
More photos from the tournament and the of 2010 Taipei Game Show can be found here.
Over the next couple of days, this geek will not only be bringing you coverage from the rest of the 2010 Taipei Game Show, but most important from the Intel Extreme Masters where Singapore will be represented by Team Titans.
So, this geek had absolutely no idea what to do when approached by Asia Pacific Breweries (APB)’s agency on hosting a party promoting savvy drinking. But they knew it was a cause close to my heart having seen my tweets and sure enough, I decided to host a party to promote this cause amongst my friends. To start off, I checked with some friends what date was best for them and then sent out a video invite along with my email invite:
Guests who signed up received this ‘e-ticket’:
(this ticket is Joe's, the dude who helped me take some pictures of the party)
This geek had many crazy ideas for my party, including Read more…
This geek’s disciple “GReekonomics” decided to throw a party to atone for his failure in learning his master’s true abilities:
Pretty excited about tomorrow’s party, though I’ve had absolutely no time to think about it nor plan it. Too bad the invites are ultra-limited and max-ed out already due to the limitation of the room booked.
A big sorry to all you reading this whom I couldn’t invite!
Woe to those who are coming though, for they have no idea what’s gonna befall them. Neither do I. Bwahahaha! Well, here’s a little hint for my 10-odd guests:

So this geek is in Beijing now witnessing the launch of a flurry of new HP products like the HP Pavilion MS200 All-in-one PC, HP Pavilion DV2 Entertainment Notebook, HP Probook S-series, HP Mini 110, HP DV2 notebooks (refreshed with AMD Dual-cores), HP Skyroom, Thin clients, and the Z series workstations.
I’ll be doing a series of posts on this on CNET Asia and you can follow my live tweets here while I try to live update my CNET Asia blog now with more information on the HP Mini 110.
I love the Dell new E-series of laptops. Now they have just upped the ante with this new ruggedized version.
Dell’s Latitude E6400 XFR
Wonder how it will compare to the Panasonic Toughbook? I’ve already tried the Toughbook and am pretty impressed. Now I’ll just have to find a way to get my hands on the E6400 soon!
Would you buy this Dell? Well if the pricing is as good as all the other Dells, why not!

It’s been a while since I’ve been so excited over a new phone. Even though the Blackberry Bold has been around for a while and I’ve kinda resisted getting it for months. I was simply blown away when I finally got it. It’s like falling in love all over again. Sorry, I did say I’m a geek right?
I installed a nice theme on the desktop with 13 icons, loving it!
