August 13th, 2009

Street Fighter Joystick Cellphone Straps   With Real Voice Action!

The popular Japanese phone strap retailer StrapyaNext started accepting pre-orders in Japan and US for one of the the coolest cell phone accessories around aka Street Fighter Joystick Cellphone Straps. These limited edition tiny Joy joysticks comes in four in four different versions- Ryu, Ken, Dhalsim, and Chun Li versions, play Street Fighter IV voice clips in response to the correct button command. I am a huge fan of the street fighter series and still play the original and also street fighter 4 with my buddies now and then. Only 1,000  each of these limited edition Joystick will be made making it a must have collectors item. These bad boys will be sold at the Ikebukuro Tokyu Hands shop, and at the Tokyo Game Show, for ¥1,260 ($13). Its a bad news for me though I can’t get my hands on these one. These tiny joysticks can play Street Fighter IV voice clips in response to the correct button command. For example, if you input down, right, and punch on the Ryu Real Voice Action Cell Phone Strap, it will play “Hadouken!” as shown in the clip below.

Top 5 modern drummers

February 10th, 2009

In the past we have had many great and some legendary drummers. Drummers such as Buddy Rich, Jim Chapin, Neil Peart, Steve Gadd etc. Now in the modern times we have our own greats. Drummers who are role models for many young drummers today. Here are 5 of the best modern drummer around.

1. Danny Carey- Without doubt one of the best drummers around. With an amazing sense of odd time signatures and a knack of utilizing the entire drum kit in every song. His ability to play jazz grooves on rock songs is the key behind his odd time signatures. He has been playing with the band Tool for over a decade.

Danny Carey uses a custom Sonor kit made from his old Paiste cymbals. He uses Paiste Signature series cymbals, Vic Firth sticks, Evans drum heads and Simmon SDX pads.

Top Five Korean Movies you should watch before you die

February 9th, 2009

Korean Movies, compared to the other films that I’ve seen, have a very different feel to it. Every director who makes a Korean film has his own personal touch to the film. Alot of  Korean movies are quite unique. I can say so, cause those movies have something that they wanna convey, something that is heart warming, something that makes you go on laughing your head off or makes you go,”….<whimper>….”. Anyway, here is my personal list of Top Five Korean Movies-

  • My Sassy Girl(2001)- I’ve been seeing this movie on and on and on, and i never get tired of it. I went online and did some research on it and it seems to be quite a popular movie. An all time favorite too. It’s based on a true story, and has been a great hit in South Korea. It’s a story about a college student, Gyeon- woo, who just isn’t doing too well in his love life until he comes across this girl, who is never named throughout the movie.

5 Ways to Save Money during Economic Crisis

When the world banking business failed miserably, it sent the world into the midst of an economic crisis. It all began when banks decided to give massive land loans on low interest rates. When the debtors could not write off the mortgage they decided to pull money out from the stock markets and that’s when the problem started. Now we are facing a world filled with expenses with a tight wallet. The crisis will eventually blow over someday but till then, there are ways in which we can be cost effective and save money. Here are five simple things to save money during the crisis.

1. When Possible, avoid you’re car- Try using you’re car less when you can, even though the gas prices are reducing. You can save alot of money on gas and because the car won’t be used as much your can save on maintenance. Walk to nearby places or cycle there or use public transport. It’s not as hard as it sounds, you will get used to it.
