I went for the Page One Warehouse Sale. It seems to me that Page One always has warehouse sale, from the results that I have search. I would say every three months there is once. However the frequency of the shuttle bus wasn't good, the interval was every hour. I did miss it. Forums wrote that the warehouse sale, was full of graphics design books. I didn't expect that much, till I reached there. The whole area was actually filled with it, be it the outside or inside the warehouse. Books sold outside, are brand new books. They do still have discounts, varying from 30% to 70%. Books that are inside, are second-hand books or books that has been out of print. Each books are priced at $10. It is surprising to see a large (considering the length of a table) photographic scenery book priced at $10. I wanted to get that to conceptualise for landscape drawing, but it's heavy. Magazines are sold at $1 each. There aren't much of design magazines. I have been looking for ImagineFX magazines, if you do find them selling do tell me. The magazines placed there are usually fashion style or health. I wonder does TapeiWalker magazine still exist?

So I bought 4 books and 2 magazines, totaled to $61. However I calculated was $86, maybe they still further sub-discounted it. Books that I bought, Fantasy Artist's Figure Drawing Bible, Great New Characters (Cube Collection), How To Draw Manga: Guns & Military (Volume 1), How To Draw Manga Volume 17: Guns & Military Volume 2, ARTnews magazine Feburary 2010, Crafts magazine December 2009.

After that saw there was a Toy Carnival at Expo, when I was checking my Twitter. So I saw see what's so happening about it. It was organised by License2Play. I didn't expect there was a gaming session for Starcraft II: Wings of Legion. There's also other games featured. I see the locals playing it, was far too slow compared those in Battle.NET. In Battle.NET within 15 minutes you can see they already started their next base, while for locals usually they would have only started their building their Factory. My account is going to end on 25 June 2010. Blizzard is clearing their database for beta testers, in preparing for the launch of the game. I am much looking forward for the campaigns. Since for beta testers, we are only allowed for online multiplayer (1v1 and 2v2). I don't really like the engine that Blizzard has did for the matchmaking system. It doesn't localised your position, therefore you would have a high ping partner as your ally. It is based on the experience and level of the user.
