On My Watch: 2016 Fall Anime
Better late than never. It’s been probably a year since I’ve last watched any anime. I think it was the summer batch of 2015 shows and I only had the chance to follow a few episodes of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. I was pregnant then and had the habit of falling asleep in the middle of watching anything. A few months later, motherhood took over and I found that K Dramas were more to my fluctuating hormones’ liking. All...
Take Two
We’re back, beechus! That’s me, Flori, returning hopefully with some bad ass-ery. It’s been what? Seven years since the last article was posted and nine years since Team Sugoi launched this blog. Back then, the members of TS were fresh out of college and were just forging their niche in their respective chosen career path.

And that’s just plain tragic....
Ghost Hunting with your DS
The Nintendo DSi has been released a few months back, but I haven’t had the urge to buy one since I already have a DS Lite, and there are no new games in the market that utilize the new features. Until now. Ghostwire is an augmented-reality game that let’s you hunt ghosts using your Nintendo DSi. According to developer A Different Game, Your portable device is used as a portal to the astral plane, and helps you find and...
McQuarrie to write Wolverine sequel
X-Men Origins: Wolverine has got to be one of the biggest disappointments this year. I wanted to slot in Transformers and G.I. Joe but since my expectations for both movies not so high as what I had for Wolverine, they don’t seem to quite cut it as disappointments. Wolverine was such a waste of the talents of Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and even for a cameo – Ryan Reynolds. If anything, it’s almost two hours of...
