Crystalmare

hello Crystalmare, sadly time marches on. fortunately there is such a thing as the internet you can find most on the game books in torrent. advise of mine though is steer clear away from D&D 4th ed. It sucks! stick with 3.5 ed. or, you could do what a lot of people who grew up with D&D and loved 3.5 did, and that is move their campaigns over to Paizo's Pathfinder. the game is basically 3.5 on steroids in a different setting.

 

Shadowrun is still there, and if you like the old RPG style of Mechwarrior and Battletech, they are bringing out the Classic series to please the fan base that was alienated by the Jihad storyline...

4th Ed. isn't a complete waste...especially if you are a Ranger or thief hehehe

I wish there was a cafe dedicated to tabletop games so that it would put a little pressure on the players to attend, sadly the game I was in has stalled indefinetly until the players can get their schedules fixed

good evening! angat lang po!

Nyahahaah pa-angat angat nalang tong thread na to

Will anybody here be interested if I put up a forum-based RPG?

I would be interested...though it does depend on what kind of realm we will be playing.

Was doing some back reading on this topic and it saddens me that the number of active players have dwindled.

I am currently in a D&D campaign (3.5 Rules) with some friends from Eastwood City. If anyone in the area is interested in playing then just send me a PM

My favorites are D&D, Shadowrun, Mechwarrior, Battletech, Marvel and Robotech.

For us Filipinos I believe the Jailboken PS3 has started to peel ahead of the Xbox 360. And strange/Sad (Kayo Bahala mag Decide) as it is it was all due to Piracy, Its pretty ingrained in the majority of us that if we can get it cheaper then that would be the winner, Having lived in other countries I can say they would be aghast at the concept but here we are reveling in the fact that we can get games at a cheaper price.

Yes I have a PS3 and Yes it is Jailbroken hehehe

I used to workout with a friend after work, but being in the call center biz my schedule lets me off at around 5 or 6 am so technically morning was when we started. We did this 3 times a week and in two week I could actually feel my legs get better and my then sedentary body start getting lighter. Sadly my schedule changed and now I'm without a workout buddy. I can feel the this sedentary lifestyle starting to bog me down again

I'll go for Tong Yang at Megamall...wide selection of cold cuts and soup base

I prefer the one in Makati along Jupiter. The ambiance is a lot better plus the raw food doesn't look like its being sold in a wet market and they give you a choice of the regular frying grill or an honest to goodness open flame grill. Open flame Grill + Crab Legs = heaven

I'm surprised none of the call center peeps in Eastwood mentioned Seafood Island and Something Fishy. Especially since Something Fishy has the Breakfast buffet from 12 Midnight to 10 AM... Obviously kakakain ko lang dun kanina so naisip kong tumingin dito ;p

got it chief. thanks will try the place this weekend.

Just ate at Sambokujin for lunch.

The damage during lunch is 500 without drinks.

The dinner buffet will cost you around 600. That's the same price during weekends.

I recommend going for lunch during the weekdays to save on cost then workout galore because of all the grilled meat you would probably be scarfing down. The concept is pretty good and the place is clean. Since I work in Eastwood I'm pretty confident that Sambokujin Currently beats out any other buffet restaurant in our area.

There is also another competitor in front of Eastwood called Bono Yaki. Haven't tried that out yet but will try to review it next month. IF anyone wants to go food trip to try it out then just PM your contact number so we can set a Eating EB

bro yung brasil brasil sa metrowalk cost around 600+ per person pero worth the experience nmn since one of a kind....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

PARE!!!!! tagal na rin tayong di nakakapag Buffet EB. When in the world are you free? organize ulit tayo like the last time with Atong ang and Cebu City Local

Brazil brazil in metro walk looks pretty tempting

boys and girls, saan location and damage ng "something fishy?"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Something Fishy is located in Eastwood City In front of Via Mare, beside Macau and Pho Hua.

The damage is 80 pesos for their breakfast buffet which lasts from 12midnight till 10 am. It is frequented by most call center people in the area.

Of course, nothing beats Malate when it comes to cheap drinks and chow, especially Cart Noodle.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I agree, been there several times when I just want to drink, the food is cheap but good and the soup used for the noodles is very good if you want to sober up quickly 29 for san mig light and 50 bucks for a moderate pulutan.

Hi Bernice!!!!

Hot seat ha... well, i really have no questions but wish you a longer sober time

til our next out of town deary and hopefully mas madami tayo....by a couple of people hehehehe

I haven't back read enough to see if this was posted but just in case, here is a really good recipe me and my drinking buddies used to make for our nightly binges

Corned Beef with Corn

Ingredients:

2 cans corned beef, the spicier the better

1 can Corn kernels

1 bulb onion roughly chopped

6 cloves garlic minced

1 egg

Knorr seasoning

pepper

sili labuyo....optional

In a high fire saute the garlic and onion, add the corned beef and the water from the can of corn, reduce until very little water left then add knorr seasoning. then add the corn, stir fry until the aroma fills up the kitchen, and very hot. crack an egg over the dish and stir like crazy, serve on a steak plate. If there are any left overs then mix it with day old rice and create a great fried rice dish....if the non spicy version was done....

The simpler the food the better for me, I know its rather commercialized but the Soy Tofu in davids tea house and Haf/p Chang is the one dish I cannot do without

Asides from the burnt tasting (charcoal) coffee, its the appearance and the ambiance. Though I loath this particular brand of coffee I can't knock it since I work in a call center. If given a choice between the instant crap coffee nescafe gives us, and charbucks....I'll pick charbucks any day....if only they let us bring in our own coffee makers.... haaayyy... guess I'll just have to save up for that bodum coffee press :headsetsmiley:

When I used to Work For Seattle's Best Coffee I was tasked to test the espresso shots everyday when i had to open the shop. So it became normal for me to take in a Quadruple Shot of Espresso with a Dallop of whipped cream can anyone say Hyper!!!!!

As corny and chipipay as it sounds, I like the monster meatball spaghetti at shakeys The size alone is enough to make you kneel... but since I'm the one eating I can finish one whole order :thumbsupsmiley:

Just last night me and my GF were loking for a nice place to have dinner at eastwood when we chanced upon this quaint little restaurant. The name of he place is Benissimo at the 2nd area of eastwood cyberpark. the food was a bit pricey but ok but what really cought our attention was their selection of ice cream at 150 an order its a bit pricey, it consists of 3 rather normal scoops of an ice cream which you can get a free tasting of, yes you can taste first before ordering. We had the pistachio ice cream and I must say the experience was different, it was not the usual pistachio flavor i was used to with the commercial ice creams but it actually had that bitter, moldy taste you get from eating real pistachio's. Different but good. I was deciding actually on getting the amaretto but my GF wanted the pistachio, when i tried the amaretto it was like a burst of flavor in my mouth. The place was nice and cozy so I would rate it as ok. Word of warning though, the price is a bit much so Its recommended to go there if you are on a romantic date and not just tripping for Ice Cream

Back in the days the best place for steaks was La Copa near the manila domestic airport. The steaks were affordable and the ambiance was simply romantic. string quartet and dim lights. Now its just a shadow of its former self.

I guess the next best place would be House of Mini's in greenhills.

Of course nowadays I make my own

tong yang pan pacific received a lot of bad rap during the late nineties when its mainland chinese co-owner took over and  started to scrimp by buying seafood from discount wholesale dealers in sta. ana market instead of the direct imports from roxas city. there is also a breakaway group of tong yang part-owners who opened dong ya hotpot along banawe.  it is similar to tong yang but has more choices.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks ATONG ANG, I'll try the banawe area. I've been craving for something like that for years

just went to tong yang at pan pacific the other night, it's an all you can eat shabu shabu style... nice choices of sea food, with fish balls, meat balls, squid balls, squid, shrimp, crab cakes, shell fishes, vegetables, and even meat, like chicken, pork, beef are also available, there's a halo halo bar, ice cream and you have a choice of sate soup or chicken soup for you table....

in my opinion, the choices aren't that bad...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Dude....whats the damage?

is it any different from the tong yang at jupiter?

where are you based in manila? or work?  much easier to find a good location with this info

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm based and work in makati, but so long as its not in the provinces pwede ako, Kidyot is based in QC but we work together in makati. Basta kainan no problem kami

PAGING CCL ... we talked about saisaki as a more affordable alternative (395 peso-saisaki-only weekday lunch/495-peso ultimate buffet compared to hyatt's 1,200) .  tramway has really slid down the drain in a matter of months.  best choices are the west avenue branch, edsa conneticut or padre faura branch for fresher food or easier access to commuting participants.  just give me the date and number of people and i'll take care of the reservations

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sounds cool, so far its just me and kidyot who are interested, if there are any other members who like eating as much as we do they can post here or pm us. Me and kidyot pretty much see each other on a daily basis due to work so contacting us won't be a problem when a definite schedule is available.

Sadly its been a while since me or kidyot have been checking up on manila tonight, been pretty busy with work. Anyways Mr. Ang.... is there any new suggestions for a buffet EB? our schedules have lightened somewhat and since its been months since we last posted here n the buffey thread.... maybe we can have another EB? whatdjatink?

count me in(anytime)....i think pati si crystalmare!  :upside:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yup i'm game too just PM me the details of the planning session
