Star Wars: Commander





The game has a lot similarities with COC. You have your droids which is the equivalent to builders. Just like COC you need droids to make and upgrade buildings. You would also need gold and alloy for the upgrades.



Main difference is that you could sides. It is either you join the rebel alliance or align yourself with the empire. Choose wisely since you can't switch sides unless you restart the game.





They have a squad the equivalent of clan in COC. But I yet have to experience a Commander "clan war". I have join a squad but haven't been part of one. I am actually not sure if there is one.
I'll you posted as soon as I learn more about the game.

New Series: Z Nation



If you are looking for an alternative view on the Zombie Apocalypse, Z Nation might be the show for you. Alternative to Walking dead that is. It is like a comedic version of the Walking dead without the drama. It is similar to Zombieland. Although the show is not trying to be too funny and not too serious at the same time. If the Zombieland TV series took off, that would be my alternative Zombie Apocalypse. But unfortunately it the show did not get pass the Pilot episode.

The show is very different from other Zombie theme show. The zombies, for some reason, doesn't seem to be as mindless as other zombies. In the show zombies were running, knows who to play dead and set a trap for their umm. . . lunch and they seem to be capable of getting stone. Another difference is that in the show there seems to be hope for the human race. An inmate was injected with an experimental drug and after being bitten severely, he did not turn. The show revolves around the idea of getting that inmate to a CDC facility to produce a vaccine for the Zombie virus.

I'll give this new show a try. Currently I find Z nation quite entertaining.

Pilipinas Gilas loses to Argentina


Who would have thought a few years back that the Philippines would be able to compete in the FIBA Basketball world cup? Everyone thought that it would take the Philippines a few more years to qualify. But they surprise everyone. For the first time in nearly 4 decades, the Philippines would be able to compete against the top basketball teams around the world. 

When they qualified last year everyone thought they Philippines would be a push over. But we were proven wrong again. Then number 34 seed Philippines faced the world's number 3 Argentina. Argentina has the advantage in size and experience. We thought it would be blow out. We were proven wrong yet again. 

Philippines made sure that they wouldn't go down fighting. The Philippines got a lead as high as 10 points during the first half of the game.In was three beyond the arc for both teams. De Ocampo and Alapag had the most 3 points shot for Gilas. Norwood had a great performance that night. The highlight of his performance for the that game was 2 slam dunk in the face of NBA superstar Luis Escola. 

A few seconds left in the game and the score was 83 to 81 in favor of Argentina. Castro tried to tie the game or get the lead with a three point shot. However he failed to release the ball and was call for the traveling. In the end the Philippines fell short. Final score was 85 to 81 favoring Argentina.

Despite not having won any games in the FIBA Basketball world cup this year, I am very impressed with Philippines' performance. Considering it has been nearly 4 decades since the Philippines last qualified they are doing quite well. What I mean is that I was expecting that could not go head to head with bigger teams in FIBA. But it hasn't been a walk in the park for the opposing team. Crotia only won by 3 points, Greece by 12 points and today Philippines lost by 4 points. That something to be proud of. I was honestly expecting Philippines to lose by 20 or more points each game but I am dead wrong.
Next they face Puerto Rico. I hope they do get their 1st win against Puerto rico

A selfie might land you in Jail


This is one of the weirdest news that I have heard all week. Taking a selfie may soon land you in jail if you are not careful. The house bill no. 4807 or anti-selfie bill was authored by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro. Currently it is on its's second hearing in the House of Representative but is currently being greatly oppose by both majority and minority members of Congress. 

Why wouldn't they oppose it and what was the author thinking when he wrote the bill? Almost everyone has taken a selfie and banning it would be a sure violation of freedom of expression.
The photo below was from a article from Yahoo and states what the proposed bill is all about 



The bill is pretty vague and it is very unclear what would constitute an unlawful selfie. Why would they even consider this bill anyway?

Now it is armed with walls and defenses that has keep them safe from the angels. Vega is led by two powerful families, the Riesens and the Wheles. General Edward Riesen is the lord of the city while Consul David Whele wants the power to rule Vega for his own agenda.

His father Jeep has left him when he was young trying to decipher the tattoos that he will eventually pass on to Alex when he is ready. Jeep returns to Vega after disappearing for fourteen years. He tells Michael that Gabriel is still alive and is massing an army to finally annihilate the human race.

The first message that he was able to decipher says "Beware of those closest to you". It is revealed that David Whele's son William is enleague with the Archangel Gabriel.

When I first heard of the series I wasn't really excited. The film Legion kinda sucks after all. But I gave it a try and was really interested in watching the next few episodes. I think the show still has a lot of mystery for the viewers. I just hope the show stays on air. You know how hard for new shows to get pass the first season. Fingers crossed!

Movie Review: Elysium


In the year 2154, a small percentage of the world's elite is enjoying life in luxurious habitat in Space called Elysium. The rest of the population still resides in Earth which is now overpopulated and it's resources almost used up.


Max Da Costa a former car thief and now parolee is working in an assembly line for Armadyne Corporation. Armadyne provides the Elysian weaponry and Robots that police the earth's population. Max was forced to take a job from a smuggler named Spider after he accidentally got a lethal dosage of radiation while working in the Assembly line.

Spider helps the non-Elysian Citizens illegally enter Elysium. In his last attempt a group of immigrants were shot down after trying to reach Elysium without authorization. Secretary of Defense Delacourt has activated a sleeper agent on Earth to shoot down the shuttles. Delacourt was reprimanded by the Elysian President Patel. Delacourt fears losing her authority, so she made a deal with Armadyne Corp Ceo John Carlyle to overwrite the program that controls Elysium Robot and get her the Presidency.



Caryle then downloads the program and neurally stores it and prepares to deliver it to Elysium. Da Costa intercepted Carlyle shuttle and got the program. Delacourt then orders Kruger to track down Da Costa and retrieve the data that was stolen. During the firefight, Carlyle was killed along with Max's accomplice.


Max then escapes Kruger and seeks the help of his childhood friend Frey. Frey is also having her own set of problems. Her daughter  Matilda is suffering from Leukemia and needs to get to Elysium and use a device called Med-Bays that help all sort of human illness.

Kruger uses Frey and Matilda to lure Max out. Max then decided to surrender to get to Elysium but did not expect Frey and Matilda to be in Kruger's shuttle. Kruger and his colleague tried to secure the grenade that Max was holding. But unfortunately the grenade exploded causing the shuttle to crash. Eventually Frey, Matlda and Ma was caught. Delacourt orders the retrieval of the data from Max's head even though she is aware that the process would kill him. Kruger then kills Delacourt and plans to steal the information in Max's head.

Moments later Max was able to escape but Kruger was trying to catch him with the intention of using the data to rule Elysium for himself. Max managed to kill Kruger in the end and as able to reach Elysium's computer core and downloaded the file killing himself in the process. After the system rebooted, All Earth's population became Elysium citizens and those who were living in Elysium got their citizenship revoked. Frey used one of the Med Bay to cure Matilda. In the end a group of shuttles carrying multiple Med bays were deployed to Earth.

What can I say about the movie? It is pretty good in my opinion. Compared to district 9 it is not bad. It is quite memorable. The idea that in the future, the rich people would enjoy a comfortable life while the masses suffer is something that is not impossible from happening. In fact it is happening now. The concept though is not new. I have seen similar story line from other TV shows and movies. A particular show that comes to mind is Terra Nova. In that show, in the future the air has become unsafe to inhale. The rich people has the luxury to live in Domes that has clean air. Same concept here. But it is not bad. Matt Damon and Jodie Forster were both great and played their roles well. The graphics was great as well. I wouldn't mind watching the whole film again.

What are your thoughts on Elysium?

App review: Flappy bird

You may be wondering why some of your friends are posting weird cryptic messages in social media and seems to be offensive messages. There is only one thing to blame.

A new game called Flappy bird is starting to become popular and causing some of your to develop anger issues.

The rules of the game is simple. Tap the screen for the bird to go up. But take note. You must learn how to control the speed of bird's rise and fall. And most importantly avoid hitting the pipes or the ground.

Currently I just reached 8 points and can't seem to pass further. Very frustrating indeed.

How your mother met me - How I met your mother season 9 episode 16


This episode is dubbed as one of the best episode in the whole series. I couldn't agree more. Now that the show is about to end, the shows creators are starting to put the final touches in putting all the pieces of the puzzle on how Ted meets his future wife.

The episode tells the story on the mother's perspective. Even the opening credits was modified featuring the mother. On the same day that Marshall proposed to Lily and the day Robin and Ted met, the mother was celebrating her 21st birthday. And get this. There are two Maclaren Pub in New York. The other Maclaren's bar is the mother's watering hole.

On that day, the mother's old boyfriend Max was running late. She received a phone call informing her that Max has passed away. Since then the mother has shove the idea of dating and falling in love believe that every person gets only one chance in love.


Through out the episode, there were references from previous episode that the mother and Ted has crossed path. In fact, the mother knows what Ted looks like. During Ted's first day in teaching , he went to the wrong classroom where the mother is attending an economics class. This is where she meets Cindy (Rachel Bilson) for the first time. Ted tells his shellfish joke and only the mother thought it was funny.

But before going to the economics class, she was inspired by the speech of one of her old acquaintance Mitch. Apparently Mitch and the mother knew each other before both of them came to New York. Mitch is creator of "The Naked man" and has said that it works 2 out of 3 times. Who would have guess that the mother is the one 1 out the 3 woman which the Naked Man doesn't work on?



Remember the Saint Patrick's day event where Ted took the mother's umbrella? We finally see what went down. The mother's friend Kelly ran into Barney. Barney tried picking her up but failed/. The mother was there as well and ran into Mitch. After offering to give Mitch a cello that is left unused, they left the club and went to her apartment. While she was getting the musical instrument in her room, Mitch strips down and showed her his move but was immediately turned down.

After a while of being on a dating Hiatus, she met Louis at and started dating him. She was staying at his Beach house during the wedding weekend. Louis suddenly proposed which caught her off guard. Eventually she turned down the proposal clear still not yet ready to take their relationship to the next level.

She then got a room on the Farhampton Inn next to Ted's. Before the episode ended, She sang a rendition of La vie en rose. Future Ted said that even though he heard her sing it a million times, the first time she heard it sing was his favorite.

In this episode we get to know more about the mother. She has a lot in common with Ted and probably the only one who would laugh at Ted's joke. A thing that I noticed with this episode is that this is the first time that they dealt with death. Correct me if I am wrong if this is the first time. But as far as I know it is.

We also get to fall in love with her and start to root for them. I think one of the biggest challenges that the creators have was finding the right actress to play the mother. I am glad that they choose Cristin Milioti to play the part. She plays the role perfectly. Putting Mitch in the mix is one of the great things about this episode. Next week I hope that they do finally met. But I think they would delayed their meeting until the last remaining episodes.

What are your thoughts about how your mother met me?





Unpause - How I met your mother season 9 episode 15



Sunday 2 AM. 16 hours before the wedding


Marshall tries to delay the inevitable, his worst fight with Lily. Let's do a recap. Marshall and Lily had plans of living in Italy for a year after Robin and Barney's wedding. However a few days before the wedding, Marshall received a phone call regarding his application for Judgeship. The catch is, they needed the answer quick and could not wait for Marshall to return from Italy after a year. Marshall accepted the offer without consulting with Lily first. To delay the talk, Marshall ordered rounds of drinks. Eventually he had to talk to Lily leaving Barney, Robin and Ted in still drinking in the Bar. 

They learned that Barney has certain tells if he is drunk. If he starts talking like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars, he is pretty drunk. But after that, Barney enters a phase of truth serum like drunkenness that answers the questions about Barney that has eluded them for years. Starting with the secret behind Barney's magic trick, to what really happened between him and Ted's mom, to the x-ray machine that Barney claims that works. But the question that they really wanted to be answer is what Barney does for a living. 




Over the years always replied the same way when asked about his job, "Please". Please actually stands for Provide LegalExculpation And Sign Everything. Robin and Ted was worried that his job could land him in jail but Barney revealed his plan. Barney tracked down the person named Greg who stole his girlfriend and cause his transformation. After accepting the job, he planned Greg's downfall. Eventually he gave information to the FBI that led to Greg's arrest months after their wedding. 


Marshall and Lily then started to discuss Marshall’s acceptance of the Job. They got in a huge fight and Marshall brought up the incident years back when Lily went to San Francisco. He claims that he has to right to be selfish since Lily did that to him years back. Lily then got into a car and left Farhampton.

Marshall and Lily get to a fight that according to future Ted is one of the worst fights that they ever had. This episode reveals a lot of things about Marshall especially how he feels about Lily’s new job and the San Francisco events a few years back. It seems that Marshall has not completely forgiven Lily for leaving him for her dreams. The real question now is where is Lily going and who did she call.

On the lighter side, we finally learn about Barney’s job. It has been a mystery for the last nine seasons what he really does and now that he has told the truth, that is one question crossed out before the series ends. I think it was great that they have somehow brought back Greg and Barney was able to exact his revenge. I never thought that he would eventually make Greg pay for stealing his girlfriend. In fact I completely forgot about him.

The countdown to the series finally is almost down. Only a fight episodes left I am starting to feel sad for this show to end. What are your thoughts about unpause?

Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra - How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 14


Sunday 1 AM. 17 hours before the wedding

Marshall hands Barney another slap from the slap bet years ago they had years ago. In a flashback Marshall tells Barney about the elaborate and totally fake story about his training to learn the “Slap of a million exploding suns”.

According to Marshall he went to China to learn from three masters that would teach him speed, strength and Accuracy. The three masters are Ted, Lily and Robin. He also informed him that the slap would occur under a willow tree, near several women and a tiger.



After the backstory, Barney dodges the slap and escaped to the woods near Farhampton Inn. Marshall caught up to him and there Barney saw the willow three with a several women making what seems to be a blanket with a tiger on it. Barney then prepares himself for the slap. Immediately after Boyz II men appeared singing “You just got slapped”. Marshall then tells Barney that there is one remaining slap left.


The episode was a totally waste considering that there are only a few episodes left in the series. The only cool part about the episode is Boyz II men singing on the end of the episode. Since there is one more slap left, I do hope that they don’t spend a whole episode on it. What are your thoughts of Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra?

Aletheia - Person of Interest Season 3 Episode 12



At the end of the previous episode, Shaw, Arthur and Finch were held at gunpoint for information about Samaritan or the machine that Harold created. Whoever leads them to the machine that they created first would live. Shaw was about to be shot as she was deemed useless. Root comes in to the room and started shooting. They were able to escape but Root got shot and was eventually captured.

Finch then learns that Arthur has kept copies of Samaritan in a safety deposit box. As they were about to retrieve it, Collier’s group came to the bank and staged a bank robbery. Finch then locks himself, Arthur and the bank manager inside the vault to prevent Collier from getting the drives.


Root is being tortured for information but got the knife in Control’s pocket. At the opportune moment, she cuts hear restrains loose and held control hostage. She eventually let her go and threatened to kill her family if they continue pursuing them. The bank vault was blown and Collier was able to get inside. But before doing so, Arthur has destroyed the drives. They were saved by Reese and Fusco dressed up in a tactical unit’s uniform.



Root then calls Harold informing him that the drives were swap by the person posing as a bank manager. The real bank manager was found dead. The bank manager then surrenders the drive to Greer from Decima Technologies. Right after he killed the “Bank manager”. Root assures Harold that she would take care of the retrieval of the drives. Reese then informed Harold that he is not coming back to work for him. Clearly he still hasn’t gotten over the fact that the machine failed to warn them on time. 

The problem with the government might have solved for now. They have bigger problems to worry about. Vigilance and Decima Technologies are two issues on top of their list. Or is it possible that they are working together. Now that they have lost Carter, it will be more difficult to do their job. Reese is not willing to work with the machine. Root could have proved useful but is not trying to track down the Samaritan Drives. Will they start recruited for their group? What are your thoughts on Aletheia?

Now that Reese is back on the team what will challenges would they face next. The threat from Vigilance and Decima Technology is still very much alive. The government seem to have backed off for now but we should expect they will come after the team really soon. Root is still the Wild Card. Finch and Reese clearly doesn’t trust her but so far she has been nothing but helpful. Will Root become a permanent part of the group or will she stay solo? It is unclear were here loyalty lies. She would definitely protect the machine no matter what the cost.

Sleepy Hollow Season 1 Finale


The episode begins with the search for the map that George Washington hid. The map reveals the location of the doorway to Purgatory with the incantation to open it. Using the prayer beads of immortal priest, Henry got images of where the map might be kept. They deduced that the map must have been buried along with George Washington.

Ichabod and his group were able to discover the real location of George Washington’s grave. When they got the map, Andy suddenly appeared and came after them. During a moment when Andy gained his consciousness, he warned Abbie to destroy the map since Moloch requires it to win the war.

Ichabod destroyed the map but was able to recreate it using his identic memory. Henry Parish’s vision of the second horseman rising convinced Abbie to search for the doorway to save Katrina since she is the only witch that they know powerful enough to bind the second horseman.



Ichabod Crane was able to rescue Katrina from Purgatory but it came with a price. The prophecy of Ichabod delivering Abbie’s soul to Moloch came true. To release Katrina an exchange must be made leaving them with no choice to but to leave Abbie in Purgatory for Katrina’s soul.

After escaping, they searched for the location of the four white trees where the second horseman will rise. When they got there, Henry bound them and revealed that the 2nd horseman has been in the mortal world for years.  He also revealed that he is Katrina and Ichabod’s son Jeremy. He is angry with both of them and exacting his revenge for being kept buried for two centuries by Katrina’s coven.

Back in purgatory, Abbie faced her fears and confronts Moloch. Moloch grabbed Abbie and was choking her. She then used the necklace that Katrina gave her to escape. Somewhere inside purgatory she was able to meet a younger version of herself. She discovered that she had memories taken away from her. She learned that the second horseman was resurrected the day Abbie and Jenny saw the four white trees.


Jenny was searching for a church that Sheriff Corbin mentioned in his recordings. When she found the sign with church’s name on it, she immediately tries to contact Abbie. As she was driving, the headless horseman shot down her vehicle leaving her injured and unconscious. Henry/Jeremy surrenders Katrina to the headless horseman. He then gives him the seal to release the 2nd horseman War. He then buries Ichabod in the same grave that he was buried for two Centuries.

The finale episode was awesome! I really thought that this series won’t last long but given how the finale was so great, I think we should expect more season of Sleepy hollow. When it first started, I was skeptical about the storyline. The idea that the headless horseman in a modern world setting is quite far fetch. Also having him use a rifle is something that I would have thought seems silly. But the story line was something really well conceptualized.

Adding history in the mix from George Washington to the free masons, it was a recipe for success. It was also hard for the series since it was based on a popular film which starred Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken.  There were certain expectations and viewers were definitely compared the movie and the TV series.

Ichabod and the gang really took a huge blow to their campaign against evil. Ichabod is buried alive by his estranged son. Katrina was taken by the headless horseman. Abbie is stuck in purgatory. Jenny is injured. Frank Irving arrested to save her child.  The biggest blow is the betrayal of Henry who was very useful to the group. It doesn’t fair well for them. We have to wait a little longer for the next season to premiere to get the answers. Who will save Ichabod? How will Abbie escape purgatory? What will happen to Katrina now that the headless horseman has her captive? Now that Henry has broken the seal, would does that mean?  Let’s wait for the next seasons Sleepy hollow Fans.

Brooklyn nine nine Season 1 Episode 3: The Slump


Detective Santiago is currently on the lead with her bet with Jake Peralta. Jake is currently on a slump and has been unable to solve any of his pending cases. He asked Holt for new cases but was turned down. Holt then ask Amy to conduct the Junior Policeman at risk youth. She seeks the help of Rosa but initially refused Gina's help. Gina then sabotages Amy and Rosa and ridicules them in front of the attendees. Eventually she agrees to help them out. Doyle then helps Terry with the Doll house that he is assembling for his kids. 


 
Peralta was trying to solve a missing person case. Sure of solving the case, he calls on a couple who he thought is related to the elderly person they found. The couple filed a missing person report and was looking for an elderly woman. They soon learned that the couple has been filing missing person report in different states. They learn that this has been they MO all along. They would be possible charged with Insurance fraud, filing of false report and obstruction of Justice. 


Definitely the previous two episodes were better. The Slump was not that bad but it was a bit boring for me. Hope they do better in the next episodes. I am still willing to give this show a chance. What are your thoughts?
