DG Smart Plan and my Android Phone
Digi very well understands what we as consumers want and tries its best to adhere to our demands - affordable prices, stable, high-speed broadband, a strong customer service experience, and of course, to offer the latest smartphones at the cheapest rate.

Recently, Google unveiled its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update while Samsung Galaxy Nexus was the first, and up till now the only phone to be integrated with it. If you ask me, this update is extremely important for Android smartphones as the last I remembered was the mere 2.3 something Gingerbread - which is totally outdated among its rivals.
I've been considering this phone for quite some time and I found Digi's plan pretty decent.The usual retail price should be around RM2,099 and with Digi, I would get RM100 off. It would only cost me 15 sens per minute for a call, which is comparably lower than most telco services.
Data Usage
Also, it is less risky if I accidentally reached the maximum monthly quota as they will be no extra charges whatsoever. I don't really use THAT much of internet anyway but it's always better to be cautious, and I'm pretty sure Digi should be a smarter partner in lowering any extra, unnecessary costs. Talking about data usage, Galaxy Nexus have a feature to allow users to check its data usage, and even setting the maximum data limit! That will definitely come in handy.

Assassin's Creed 3 October Release Confirmed
Assassin's Creed is a well-known brand and has been known for a yearly release of its franchise. Personally, they never fail to impress me and next in the line will be the 3rd Assassin's Creed. Rumours have long since been circulating that 2012 be the year of its release; and true enough, Ubisoft recently confirmed (in an investor conference call) that Assassin's Creed 3 will be released in October - or to be more precise, October 30.
“Assassin’s Creed 3 is the true next generation of both the Assassin’s Creed brand and interactive entertainment/storytelling in general,” - Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot
Ubisoft certainly looks ambitious and though there isn't any evidence on where and what the game will be, it is rumoured that there will be a new protagonist and will change settings to the American revolution. What do you think?

The World Is In Play: PS Vita's Genius Advertisement
The latest advertisement/commercial for Sony's latest portable game console, the PS Vita in conjunction with its (kinda) major launch on the 22nd of February in North America, Europe, Singapore and Taiwan. It depicts the various scenes in what is claimed as the "the best launch line up ever", which includes Uncharted Golden Abyss, EA FIFA Football, WipEout 2048 and Little Deviants.
[Video Comments]: Sony's a genius; or rather, whoever Sony hires to make all it's advertisements is a god damn genius. Video games doesn't necessarily need to be virtual, they can also be literal you know.

Singapore First To Get PS Vita in SEA, On 22nd February
PlayStation's latest portable gaming console, the PS Vita, will be launching in Europe and North America on the 22nd of February, and if you're hoping that it will also be launching in SEA on the same day, it unfortunately looks highly unlikely as nothing has been said about it yet.However, the only exception is that PlayStation Asia recently announced that our neighbours across the strait, Singapore, will be getting their hands on the device in conjunction with the official launch event - which will be held on the 22nd of February.
"To provide more opportunities for public to have experience on PS Vita, Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong (SCEH) is going to hold a launch event to kick-off PS Vita official launch in Singapore." - PS Asia BlogThis, unfortunately, still leaves launches in the rest of South East Asia unannounced.
[More details on Singapore's launch here]
Here's hoping that it's gonna be soon, especially in Malaysia! (:

Diablo 3 Delayed: Releasing Around April and June
Diablo 3's release was first rumoured to be sometime in 2011 which evidently, is only a rumour. Blizzard's CEO Thomas Tippl then commented that the release date of the highly-anticipated game will be “early 2012”, which spurred the industry into suggesting that it would be around February as the most-probable date. However, the latest revelation from Blizzard 'confirms' that Diablo 3 is only set to release in the second quarter of 2012 - in between April and June.
“We are targeting a Q2 launch for Diablo III,”What do you think? Will it be delayed again? Anyhow, Diablo 3's delay should go no further than 2012 and despite the many delays and high hopes of anticipation, bets are that once the game is ready, no one would say a word more.

Execute With Style and Gore in Darkness II [Videos]
You're still reading this or you've probably clicked the youtube video already, didn't you. Yea, thought so. Anyways, if you have played The Darkness: Digital Extremes [ I ] before, Darkness II will pretty much be the same in terms of its gore, blood, and brutality. Killing someone is probably extremely normal for a Darkness gamer but what differentiates one from another is exactly HOW you end their life.
Just to give you an idea on what this game is all about and how is it that you have "tentacles", Darkness II is a first-person shooter game where you'll most probably not use your guns at all (for me at least). Though you are equipped with two weapons, your ultimate signature is the Demon Arms (the "tentacles") which is also like your "third-hand[s]". The four videos here are simply some of the many ways to fully-utilise your signature weapon to the max of its potential - executing your foes inside out
brutalizing like an anaconda..
slicing with style..
tearing them apart, bit by bit...
