NETFLIX Had Us Experience SQUID GAME 2

Looks like NETFLIX is getting ready for highly successful Korean series Squid Game as they premiere on the platform this coming December 26, 2024. It's been a while since we've seen the first installment, but their Director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises that it will all be worth the wait.

We had ourselves experience this during the Netflix thanksgiving event at Green Sun a few weeks ago, and certainly, we had ourselves go through the various games they played in the series to earn points, and exchange it for exclusive merch later on in the evening.

The character Gi-hun will be starting off the second season after he leaves the airport, there will be some that will still be part of this installment, while a few will be new characters you should look out for in the show. Times will be different this time because after winning that game 3 years back, it'll be a whole lot different now especially when they get to win 45.6 Billion, and new players will have them running after their money. They also teased some characters from Season 1 will have appearances, so watch out for that!

They didn't win the Emmy's for nothing, so make sure you do download and subscribe through Netflix because as you can see, they definitely have a LOT up their sleeve!

Check Out The TCL C755 QD-Mini LED 4K TV: The Ultra Game Master

It was a really good day to be in the midst of peers and fellow TV enthusiasts at the Abenson store in Quezon Avenue. TCL chose this to be the venue for the launch of their newest TCL QD-MiniLED 4K TV. They've been really hard at getting new products out in the Philippines, and something tells me, this would be the perfect TV set to have this Christmas.

They had us experience it first by getting some of the best consoles, PC driving simulations and even Virtual Reality based games at the top floor of Abenson Quezon Avenue. Had my hand in a few rounds of Tekken and fought with other bloggers and media entities. I felt like a noob during the first few rounds since it's been a while since I've played, but I got the hang of it since round 1. I finished the game too in my first try, so it was highly encouraging to do the versus rounds. It also pays when you've got a display that can keep up with the game's graphics, because it's hard to see clear and accurate especially with fighting games that need higher refresh rate. The refresh rate runs at 144Hz VRR +240Hz DLG (Dual Line Gate) a technology that only TCL has which automatically detects your source output and adjusts accordingly.

Here's our video coverage of the event a few days ago, please enjoy!

The TCL QD-Mini LED 4K TV C755 Ultra Game Master runs on Google TV OS and can be controlled hands free via voice control. It's got Google assistant, so if you're a little experienced like I am with a Google Home smart environment, you can ask away as usual. The audio is clear with Dolby Atmos, DTS Premium Sound so if you're a movie freak, this would do you good. With its 4K UHD display, you'll have clearer than clear scenes and higher contrast, you'll even love how black real BLACK is on the C755. There's also WiFi6, and backward compatible to your current wireless connection. You just have to sit back and enjoy everything once it's set up!

You need a TV set that can keep up with your gaming requirements so you don't lose matches, precious rounds or even those crazy races. TCL has them in Abenson branches nationwide, go try them out first then consider getting them now. It's surely a good "gift to self"!

Watch Out for All Star Videoke on GMA!

It looks like GMA is making their Sunday afternoon even MORE fun by bringing in their hit show ALL STAR VIDEOKE back to TV which was once hosted by Allan K and Jaya. This time they're bringing in a very HUGE fancy stage, plus two new hosts to become song masters and start off the show. 

Betong Sumaya says "I always wanted to have a show aside from Survivor, I said it during those years and I've already had a movie with her. Now it's going to be us two, hosting our own show and she's not holding back in comedy here. She's sophisticated, but here she's letting all her hair down. You wouldn't believe what she can do in every taping I've had with her. The celebrity contestants will be seen without edits, you'll see who can sing or not in real life, some are really good, some doing it in second voice LOL. All Kapuso celebrities had fun in the show so I hope you watch the show this September 3 as we begin All Star Videoke! The previous one had a 7 year run and when I met him during Rochelle's wedding he game me his blessings, also Ms Jaya on Instagram. We are so proud to be part of this. I was a player back then but it wasn't like this, the stage is so high and they will fall. It's a little scary. We are also going to sing here so we'll try to see if out efforts are enough on the pilot show. You should also watch out for the second, third and fourth show. We'll try that fall on our next taping, but when we saw it during the first episode we already backed out LOL."

In the first episode, you'll see Kapuso stars Barbie Forteza, Jak Roberto, Ken Chan, Mikael Daez, Megan Young (who's inviting you to watch Miss World later on SNBO) and Kim Domingo. 

They choose a category, sing along, and every correct lyric will have an equivalent prize. Celebrity judges will choose who will get dropped off based on those who got more lyrics correct. For the first show, it will be Alden Richards and Jerald Napoles (as ALL STAR LAGLAGERS) on chair so they have to make sure they guess the lyrics right! For the two last contestants, they need to do the PUSH AND SING round where they will need to continue singing a song they chose and win a point if it's correct. 

Winners of this week will be challenging the next batch of celebrities and if they do it 4 times in a row, they will win a BRAND NEW CAR! Okay how do I join? LOL

So if you want to know who's gonna win, make sure you watch the first episode this September 3 with Betong Sumaya and Solenn Heussaff as hosts!
