Catriona Gray's Trip To Sawasdee Thailand

I must admit she's probably my favorite Miss Philippines entrant. She's in Thailand right now. A shame that Leni Loud Robredo isn't part of the trip.  Instagram

Belated Happy 33rd Birthday Shaina Garcia Magdayao

Instagram It's still an incredible irony I've been skipping teleseryes by ABiaS-CBN while I'm attracted to her physical beauty. Well, I did enjoy the mini-series The Haunted where it was practically direct to the point.   

Gracie Dzienny Pictures For November 5, 2022

These photos of hers are just plain stunning. These remind me of the 1990s all before Pamela Andreson botched her natural beauty.  Instagram

Jacqueline Scislowski Pictures For October 11, 2022

Sure, I ended up bashing Beast Morphers after I finished watching it. I even ended up rewatching Go-Busters after that. Heck, I confess I can't even rewatch Mighty Morphin' . But like Kimberly, Zoey is still a likable character. Jacqueline Scislowski practically is more memorable than the Megaforce girls (who I believe are FORGETTABLE). Plus, her character Zoey Reeves is more likable than Yoko Usami from Go-Busters IMHO.  Instagram

The Psychology Of Fake Game Ads With REALLY BAD PLAYERS

If there's one thing I wish would magically disappear from ads - it's those ANNOYING bad players in the fake ads. Yes, I'm referring to ads that are found in games such as Gardenscapes and Homescapes . The players are showing signs of unusual stupidity. It's obvious common sense but the player in the ads is making A LOT OF WRONG CHOICES. There's the caption, "HARDER THAN YOU THINK." or "I'M SURE YOU CAN'T SAVE THE BOY!" type of captions. I think this is where it works. The ads are meant to frustrate viewers. The more I view the ads, the more I say, "Can't the player do better than this?" I think it's all about what Sun Tzu says about feigning stupidity. The players get irritated and said, "I'd show these players I could do better." The next thing is that the player DOWNLOADS the game and finds out its NOTHING LIKE IT. Though, Gardenscapes and Homescapes did put the puzzles in eventually. Still, the damage h...

"Jingle All The Way" Is A Box Office Flop That Somehow Criticizes Stupidity During The Christmas Season

Ahhhh... the 1990s... the time when I was born. I could remember growing up with some stuff that I wanted and don't want now. I could remember how some toy stores have closed down like Gift Gate and Nova Fontana. Now, I want to think about the early 1990s. I could remember those simpler times may not be so simple after all. The movie Jingle All the Way seems to summarize it. I even remembered dreaming of making a video game out of the failed movie one way or another... FOR FUN. It was my crazy fantasy to create a fan game where the player controls Howard in his quest to get the Turbo Man. The line even has Jamie saying, "Anybody who doesn't have a Turbo Man will be a loser!" The chase goes on... right? It seems Jingle All the Way for a failed movie (that had a following similar to Santa Claus the Movie ) really did a good job as a fictional movie. Santa Claus The Movie did feature the perils of commercialism. Santa Claus was portrayed as a generous toymaker who loves ...

Them Frustrating Fake Mobile Game Ads Are A PLAGUE

Some time ago, I remembered writing about those fake ads becoming real . I could remember downloading that stupid fun game called Save the Girl by Lion Studios . There are now legitimate pull-the-pin hero rescue games. Though, back then such concepts were only ads in games like Hero Wars . I downloaded those games and FOUND OUT that they were NOTHING LIKE THE ADS. Then, the ads still persisted with more FAKE Gardenscapes ads. Shouldn't Playrix get investigated for fraud? Yup, I still think that these ads should be banned INDEFINITELY . How do they annoy? Well, it's really that simple if you understand click-baiting. There's the frustration factor in these ads. You can think of how the ads PURPOSELY make the "player" make wrong choices. There's the tag line going like, "Can you do better?" or "I'm sure you can't save the boy." You want to accomplish it, you download it, and guess what - the REAL GAME SUCKS! The real game is NOTHING ...
