Assassin’s Creed VS Ninja

Alafista — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:52:45 +0000

A really cool stop motion video by Counter656 featuring a cool fight scene between Ezio and a masked ninja. According to the video description, it took 45 days and 2000 photos to create the short.

The only thing I didn’t like about the video is probably the ending which is kinda bloody and I didn’t think Ezio could easily slice off the ninja’s hand with his hidden blade.

Hiro Mizushima Becomes A Ninja for Mobage CM

Seems like Japanese actor Hiro Mizushima (水嶋ヒロ) isn’t quite ready to quite the acting industry and become a full-time writer yet as he is featured in this cool commercial for Mobage, a Japanese mobile game company.

It seems like even the man who had “truly walk down the path of heaven and rule over all” still has a weakness over women XD

Ninja Toilet Papers

Iga in Mie Prefecture is known as the birthplace of ninja and one of its local firms is selling “ninja toilet paper”. The proper product name is Tora no Maki (虎の巻), a thirty-meter roll of double-sheeted toilet paper, and it has some ancient ninja mouji printed on it. Ninja mouji are codes based on ancient Jindai Moji (Kamiyo Moji), the script said to be used in Shinto shrines even before the introduction of Chinese characters to Japan.

Of course, such awesome product doesn’t come cheap because each roll cost 400 yen @_@

I would think that the true Ninja toilet paper would be those that disintegrate after use so that you wouldn’t leave any trace behind for your enemies to track you or find out what you had for dinner yesterday XD

Ninjas Unbox Google Nexus

Patrick Boivin is back again with his amazing stop motion videos, and this time its three different colored ninjas unboxing the new Google Nexus smartphone.

I liked how the ninjas took out each components inside the box and played around with them. The part where the ninja used the USB cable as a skipping rope was extremely cool and funny.

Kunai USB

Kunai [苦無] is a weapon which is commonly associated with the ninja. Not only is it a useful weapon, it is also now an excellent storage device.

This 2GB kunai USB can be bought off GeekStuff4U for an incredibly high price of 11,500 yen. The price is too shocking to endure even for a master ninja =P

Ninja Gaiden Σ II: True Ninja Only Leaves Footprints

Alafista — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 01:29:03 +0000

Here’s a new trailer of the upcoming Ninja Gaiden Sigma II game for the PS3. All you see are black footprints running across streets, and walls and leading up to a climatic ending of the Statue of Liberty.

I love the portion when the window cleaner was stepped on and the office ladies were checking out the footprints.

It sorta makes no sense that Ryu decides to slice the Statue of Liberty in half. Maybe they got the idea from G.I. Joe where the bad guys destroyed Eiffel Tower.

Ninja action games (Ninja Gaiden and Tenchu) are usually violent. But here’s a really kawaii and fun game that was showcased at the E3 conference – Mini Ninjas.

Before you check out the gameplay, you should watch this trailer, its quite awesome and funny:

Here’s the developer walkthrough with real gameplay, looks really fun:

I though the graphics and the gameplay was pretty good. Would be looking forward to playing this game.

Cool Shurikens As Paper Tacks

Want to show your boss that you mean business, then use these awesome and beautiful Ninja Tacks designed by Jonathan Sabine and Adam Pickard to pin up your important papers.

Ninja Tacks are injection molded ABS with a Chrome Plated finish. Each individual web order consists of 3 Ninja Tacks in a padded mailer. It’s cheaper than mailing the retail packaging.

12 USD for a pack of 3 Ninja Tacks is really a steal, I think I will get a set for fun. =P
