With the Year of the Snake well upon us, many of us are eager to find out what the future has in store for us, because where the moon is at the time of your birth totally controls your life day by day. Using our super powers of prediction, we will tell you your fortunes for the Snake year. Forget that whole "free will" thing. This predetermined destiny thing is where it's at.
This is how it works. Depending on the year of your birth, you are classified under a certain animal as a label. There are 12 zodiacs altogether and they cycle around every 12 years. This means that you share your destiny with exactly 1/12 of the population of the Earth. Don't try to argue.

You know, when I was in DLSU, I don't recall there being a Lasallian Media Week but I may just not have been paying attention. Apparently, it is a week long event that showcases the various talents of the University's major media groups. This year, the theme is Responsible Digital Citizenship, which was prompted as a response to the proposed Cybercrime Law. "Think before you post!"
Part of the activities of the Lasallian Media Week is the Student Media Office Comic Convention. I dunno, but I'm kinda sad that nothing like this happened in the time I was there. Apparently, it only started last year. Like all other full blown legit comic convention, there will be comic book exhibits, forums with guest artists (I think I saw a pic with Carlo Pagulayan there, probably from last year), merchandise and display booths - most likely toy collections.

So, the world didn't come to a sudden and abrupt stop. That's a good thing, we get to celebrate one more Christmas. Maybe it's time to let bygones be bygones and start off fresh this coming new year. If these two mortal enemies can play nice, maybe all of us should, too. Life's a little too short to be all grumpy all the time. Chill out and enjoy the ride. Best Christmas gift you can give yourself.
Merry Christmas one and all!

Giving Christmas gifts for a special friend who obsesses about a special interest isn't as easy as you might think. If you're thinking of getting a toy collector a toy, unless you know his wishlist and where to get said toys, you'd be hard pressed to find something with which to surprise him. Same goes for practically every other geekery you can imagine. Unless you share the same passion, you wouldn't exactly know what to get a geek to keep him happy.
To help all you out, we decided to put together a geek wishlist, like we did last year. Our list consists of wishlists from some of our editors and contributors who know exactly what they'd like to get if they were in the shoes of your special geeky friend.
So, with that said, let's all celebrate the commercialism this once-Pagan holiday openly promotes with our Christmas Gift Guide for Geeks 2012!
2012 GeekOut Face Off Battle Royale

Here it is! This moment has been delayed enough. It is now time to determine who is crowned the 2012 GeekOut Face Off Tournament CHAMPION!
Before we get to the poll, here are a few reminders. During the 5th round, we got a few complaints about how the poll doesn't start and end on the time we pegged it at. This is because the polling widget I use references some other time zone. I have no clue how to fix it. It doesn't use the local time I set for GeekOut, which the scheduled articles use to publish themselves. It doesn't also follow the local time of the computer setting it. So, to remedy this, I have set the voting to 1 week from now. What time it stops, I have no clue, but it should end around Friday morning or Saturday night next week.
Keep your eyes on the prize, contestants!
CHAMPION: Two Paper Toss shirts (I just hope they fit you) and P1000 GC from Toy Kingdom! Yes, that's a new prize! I don't know where to get the budget for it yet, but I'm sure I can figure it out somehow.
CONSOLATION PRIZE: Here's a new twist. Vote and leave a comment, explaining your vote. Why do you think the character you voted for should win the tournament? The best answer picked by the authors and editors will win P500 GC from Toy Kingdom!
Let's get it on!
Get fed!
