Happy Birthday, Az!

Happy birthday to Filipino toy events organizer Azrael Coladilla. I couldn’t make it to ToyCon 6 and I hated Bay’s Transformers movie, but somebody has to give geeky Filipino kids a chance to publicly indulge their guilty pleasures. That’s what Az tirelessly delivers, event after event, year after year.

Level Up Drops COO, Hires Blogger

I’ve been hearing about so much bad stuff happening at Mobius, I almost missed all the good stuff happening at Level Up. Sheila Paul has resigned as COO, and Kevin Codamon is now their website’s editor-in-chief. Sheila was an offline advertising dinosaur who wasted Level Up’s money; Kevin is an online media maven who can fix Level Up’s lame site.

Congratulations to Level Up on losing a liability and gaining an asset. Level Up is one of the Philippines’ top online game publishers; they need less bullshit-spewers and more gamer-bloggers.
