1984 / George Orwell Perhaps one of the haunting books I’ve read that sends chills throughout the body and the mind although the genre is far from Edgar Allan Poe’s writings nor the modern-day master or horror, Stephen King. The fact that it spoke not only about politics, but as well as the possible fate of humankind (even giving out the year, 2050, where these changes would be fully visible) is scary enough to imagine. We have the character of Winston Smith—freedom fighter as we may call it—the silent rebel who works in a high position, respected by others because he does so well in his job, lives the good life, but is secretly against the governing body called ‘the party’. Here, we see the struggle faced by those who wanted authentic freedom personified in Winston; the enlightened figure among those enslaved by the government and was forced to think that everything was right. It was a complete brainwash from which there is no escape. What will make readers feel the vibe of how 1984 instills the chains as mark of slavery on its characters are the ways The Party carried out laws: to reduce vocabulary and language hence control freedom of communication, to watch over every movement even if one is sleeping hence the control of privacy, to allow sexual act ONLY for the sake of bearing children and remove all physical pleasure, and lastly, which I made an impact on me on this book, was to control the minds of the people in this particular nation (Oceania) hence forcing its rebels to renounce their beliefs of liberty and equality only to ‘put a bullet to the head’ after they have been ‘converted’. And where was religion in this story? Diminished. There is only one god in this book, the one The Party and the people praises (Big Brother) which, I think, states the oneness of Church and State in such a negative connotation the god becomes ultimately the idol of those who believed in such cruel ruling. It’s a rollercoaster ride of thrills on who betrays who, what could be the next move of Winston Smith and the others like him, but it also makes the reader think on the future of the nation he lives in—the whole world, actually. Although Orwell’s 1984 is a fictional work, the harrowing questions strike us: what is the fate of the future? If not exactly the way described in 1984, then how cruel can the world be by the time year 2050 arrives?

LET’S TALK ABOUT DRAGON PROJECT... If you have played Monster Hunter in almost any console available today, you might want to check out Dragon Project available in the app store. Before you start dubbing it a ‘bootleg game’ of the original Monster Hunter, Dragon Project first of all has its own story line. You could tell a ‘Monster Hunter Wannabe’ from that of an app who takes its inspiration from the aforementioned game. It plays similar to the Monster Hunter we know (and for those who have not heard of MH yet, do check it out) with a twist and a compatibility fitting mobile devices which redefines ARPG gaming. To top it off, you can play with real-time players across the globe in this semi-open world game. Hunt alone or with different people, face Behemoths to unlock and forge different equipments—the choice is yours as Dragon Project brings you to an exhilarating hunting action through your mobile device.

ANIMAL CROSSING: POCKET CAMP??? Kawaii (and throwback) overload!! I never knew this game came out not until my cousin posted it via Facebook. I’ve played quite a bit of Animal Crossing myself through the old Nintendo DS console (New Leaf), but this one calls out for a new experience and a fresh start for old Animal Crossing players like me. Of course, it also offers new players a chance to get to know this returning favorite even through its mobile version. First of, it didn’t take away the original gameplay, but made it compact and mobile-device compatible which actually works well on both gameplay and controls. The main story is about building your ultimate (if not dream) camping site for the animals and fellow players to visit. This can be done thru earning bells, materials, and crafting them to come up with different furnitures. The game plays similar as you can customize your character and buy him/her clothing and such. Fishing and Bug catching are those featured back in the game with an addition to the new honey and (fish) net catching. You could now interact not only with familiar and new Animal Crossing characters, but as well as players who are playing the same game as well. It’s a cute-fest as you try and build your campsite through different styles you want it to be—a sporty/gym like camp? Maybe a cool camp with a drum set installed? It’s all up to you as Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp takes you to a whole new Animal Crossing adventure.

I have not posted for awhile so... here’s some League of Legends role for you MOBA geeks 🤓🤓🤓

Loosing you on a rainy day, When I gotta go my own way, Nothing left, nothing to say, Until the sun shows its rays, I still cannot find your face, For time is fleeting in a race, A race for both you and me, Yet I still cannot see, That there will never be a 'we', Even though the sun shows its face, And we are uncovered by its rays, There is no such trace, Of a relationship that never ceased to be.

FOR MOBILE LEGEND PLAYERS: Let's talk about the remake on AKAI from Mobile Legends and just how good (or bad) he became: *WARNING - LONG POST on Akai review) -There are 2 new skill sets for Akai, new passive, being 1st skill (Thousand Pounder) as the only 'remnant' left of the old Akai. -He doesn't look like Po from Kung Fu Panda anymore, instead he looked like one of those Pandaren race from World of Warcraft (which WoW defenders and ML haters would probably argue on). In fact, he is Mangix (Pandaren Brew Master, Dota 1) with the exception of the red color. -Skin (Summer Party Akai) looks amazing and cute, sadly Bruno does not have a soccer partner anymore. You can still get the skin w/o diamonds via skin fragments (150) Skills: (overview) Thousand Pounder - He still jumps from his current position towards the target dealing damage. Blender - New Skill. Throws a frog-shaped, green energy at the target, dealing damage and marking the enemy. Akai gains bonus physical damage based on his maximum health while attacking the marked opponent. Hurricane Dance - Same as the old Akai. Enemies are pushed back while Akai spins his bamboo rod about. Fun to watch with two opposing Akais using it. Beyblade. Passive - gains a barrier around Akai (which I think was once a part of Thousand Pounder) Which Akai did you like best?
