Datablitz vs X-Play: Who's side are you?

I don't want to discuss everything here again to what happen, Google or Bing it!

In Defense of Datablitz: Analyzing Datablitz’s Official Statements regarding CIDG Raid, Inside Sources Speak Out (updated)

Datablitz selling “pirated” "smuggled" software is not accurate, misleading and would cause catastrophe to their reputation and to gaming industry.

I have big respect to Datablitz. I've been buying games from them since God knows when and all are legits and never deal with their after-service ever!

So, do I love or hate Windows 8?

I hate metro originally (like I mentioned in my previous blog post : Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 thoughts...) but for the sake of catching up on development trend so I installed it in my laptop together with Visual Studio 2012 Express and for Windows Phone 8, off course.

Kinda weird seeing there is no start menu and all metro screen at first, but somehow in just 1 day I finally starting to love it for few reasons:

Gmail beats Hotmail as World's Top Email Service...

Got the news here from TomsHardware: Gmail Becomes World's Top Email Service

Well good for Google and I was surprised that it didn't surpass Hotmail long time ago. For starters, I thought I'm the only one using Hotmail hahaha!... (reference: my family, friends, relatives and co-workers).

iPhone5, worth the upgrade?

I guess I'm a bit stupid to answer this since I love windowsphones, but hey I used to have iPhone3gs+iPodTouch and shifted to HTC HD7 and never actualy looked back. Now desperately waiting for Lumia920/AtivS/8X to reach here so I could choose from them. :)

Anyway back to topic and just want to share. Maybe if you're coming from iPhone4s then the answer for me is NO, as I don't see any interesting features of 5 compared to 4s unless you're dreaming of an iPhone with 4" screen or just a die-hard apple supporter.

My next lens: Tamron 24-70 F/2.8 VC USD

I guess me and very few people are only showing interest to this lens especially in PiPho (pinoyphotography.org). Maybe the price? for 3rd party? I don't know.

For me considering plus vibration compensation, moisture resistant, faster/silent focusing, improved IQ and much better build to my 28-75/2.8. For the price of $1200, this lens is still cheap as it gets compared to Nikon and Canon which has both no visual compensation.

Letting go my Nikon 85mm F1.8D...

I'm already giving my AF Nikkor 85mm F1.8D. Here are the full details posted at tipidpc.com:

I Recently realized that I "rarely" use this lens because of its very specialized purpose to a certain scenario only eg. more room space, better background to produce nice bokeh, and outdoor portraits.

Torchlight 2 is a better Diablo game than Diablo 3

Just installed the game this morning (Yep you read it right!) and I must say that overall better gameplay than Diablo 3 and probably more than just an eyecandy that Diablo 3 has to offer.

For me why Torchlight 3 is a better Diablo game than Diablo 3? Bear with me, this is just my first day playing this game...

• Soundtracks -- Diablo 2 sounding at it's best! it really brings back the memories while playing Diablo 2 like I almost cried just listening to the music.
