Early December Post


I've finished playing Portal Runner the day after the last memory dump(or blogpost), and I must say that.It.was.fun. and it sucked. So yeah, it was that. I've finished it on two difficulty levels. Nothing much to say about it. It intensified the spark for my love of finishing forgotten retrogames though. So much that I'm going to buy a used PSP Go and I'm going to dump all my retro games on it.

I'm still not up for a thorough weekly review of things I've consumed so I'll just do mini-reviews and say whatever I like yeah?


I've finished a book called Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan, the same person who wrote "I Know What You Did Last Summer". It felt like I was reading something like Twilight at first but yeah 'twas pretty okay. Not phenomenal. It's slightly informative about the Witch Trials and all that Salem shit. I could definitely see it as a movie that would be forgotten and sometimes maybe resurface through Youtube trailers.



Bought a book called Alternatibo sa Alternatibong Mundo: 13 Metakuwento/Malakuwento by Edgar Calabia Samar because I liked his writing style on Walong Diwata sa Pagkahulog (Eight Muses of the Fall). It came with a free book by Carljoe Javier..so uh more books.



I'm also on the last few chapters of Super Panalo Sounds! by Lourd De Veyra as of the moment. I'm going to be done with it in an hour and five cigarettes. This shit is great, I loved reading it. It reflected some of my ideas and this is the type of gritty story telling that I'm always looking for. 

for Music, I've been enjoying Sonic Youth, The Front Bottoms:a delightful find since I've been putting them off for years and then I realized they sounded like Why?, The Babies:great band I've picked up whilst watching BRGRTV's first few episodes, King Krule, and a few stray Bullet Dumas and Mac DeMarco tracks while reading. 

Saw a post asking for Post-hardcore recommendations and I opened my old blog to check if for stuff I loved back then and wow, I'm kind of thinking of reviving it..but then again I remembered I've lost some of the review tidbits stored on notepads due to my old computer crashing. Anyway, I'm just gonna share them here for safekeeping.
