From Ningin: Last month Ningin, Wirebot and Rekuru held aNinja Assassin poster giveaway that caught the attention of many ninjas. That giveaway has recently ended and as part of my head ninja duties, I must honor the lucky ninjas that have entered and won this giveaway with great stealth. More »

A new year/decade is upon us and with it, the chance for another swing at that one new year’s resolution that got away in ‘09. Along with the cavalcade of resolutions to work out more, get out of debt, or travel, we here at Rekuru are doing a little inner reflecting ourselves. More »

From Girlybubble: Sleepy kittens, mournful puppies, gloriously obese cats, dramatic possums, fuzzy bunnies, balled-up hedgehogs, diva otters, tiny hamsters, fluffy llamas…and a hanging panda. I dare you not to smile.

I must confess that I have an unwholesome habit of stalking animals online, which leaves me pining away into the late hours of the night with an ache in my heart, hopelessly trying to convince my mother the next day to make just a little more room in her heart, as well as her house, for these critters.

From Ningin:

Congratulations to Ningin again for the upset win over Wirebot in the inaugural MLG tournament. So far I like what I’m seeing with Mixr League Gaming. There has been many a tearful eye, much blood was spilled, and we even had a couple of babies exchanged hands. Yes, all this makes for a bright MLG future and something that we’re going to greatly expand. Pretty soon, we’re going to have users form their own teams and play for pins. prizes, and other glories in the MLG Ladders. Still lots of testing that needs to be done, but we’re getting there!

From Ningin: A big surprise from the Sony and Panasonic team. Each of the two 25GB layers has been refined to 33.4GB per layer. They have been working a refinement for a while now, as the weakest chain in their technology is NOT their lasers. Why fix the body when you can fix the brain? How does this work, without buying any additional parts? A firmware update (FREE DOWNLOAD) to your blu-ray player or PS3 will tell your lasers to read more precisely and pack data more closely within the same space efficiently. (Improving error check.)

From Ningin: Ningin’s victorious defeat over Wirebot in MLG Tournament I, has done much to rile the emotions of many Mixr sites within the Mixr Kingdom. So much so, that football site BlitzNation.com, Japanese entertainment site Rekuru.com and gadgets site ZiggyTek.com have joined forces to become BlitzKuTek, a team of allied bloggers from each respective site. After all, how could it be that a team of non-gamers (Ningin) beat a team of gamers (Wirebot) in a flash game tournament? More »

From Girlybubble: Looking at Parcoala, the mascot for new Japanese department store, Parco, you have to wonder. Why don’t department stores here ever have cute mascots? Or mascots at all? When was the last time you walked into a Macy’s only to be greeted by cute, furry animal mascots decorating every piece of advertising? Personally, cute animals are enough to make me want to spend.
