This is a Taiwanese comic about a boy named Shautieh Ley who basically knows nothing about bowling. He always get dumped by girls and one day he stumble upon a girl which he fell in love instantly and get himself into trouble with the mafias. Incidentally, her father owns a bowling alley and he begin to pick up bowling from there.
He always gets into trouble, plenty of drama guaranteed. He is also a genius and learns lots of bowling techniques by watching the pros bowl. He learns them instantly although not perfect and he has a tremendous strength on his left arm.
This comic is hilarious and you do not need to be in love with bowling to read it. The art is average but the plot of stories is interesting and plenty of dramas during competitions. It will ensure you plenty of laughter and fun reading it. One of the many mangas I highly recommend.
Zero Online (Online Game) September 9, 2008

This is a robotic online game which I have been playing for a while now. If you are interested, you can register at http://zo.91.com. It is a simple game to play and to level. You get have 5 types of robots which you called Arms and each of them transformed into specific robots.
Among the features are:
Mentor and Apprentice
Mentor gets items & EXP from Apprentice while Apprentice gets POT from Mentor
Spaceship Mission
These are quest which you can only participate when you are above level 60. You get items, EXP, crystals and ULTRAs (sort of like legendary items) from missions.
Cores
Cores are sort of like chips for robots. There are 10 kinds of chips with random effects (which you can combine and modify whenever require). Useless chips can be used to make sockets or making Zero cores (special core)
Lottery
By using ZP (reload points), you get to play lottery 10 times a day, unless you have cores which allows you 3 more extra times. You get to gamble for something which you want inside. You will definitely get something but it all depends on luck.
Friends
You get EXP from Friends whenever they go leveling.
XP
XP is sort of like power boost. It happens every 5 minutes and your damage increase by 100 times. It also increases the EXP slightly.
Overhaul
Overhaul is sort of like a reborn in other games. Each Arm gets to reborn 100 times which will unlock modules. You get to upgrade your modules using cores to obtain bonus EXP and POTs.
The game is easy to play and not complicated. However, it will get boring after a month or two as the game repeats itself by leveling at the same place, doing the same missions and killing the same old monsters all over again. The game is also buggy at times but still playable.
This game is also very unbalanced. The Robot’s strength is determined by POT. POT is gained by leveling, unlocking modules and upgrading your equipments to Ultras. So in other words, the game is monopolized by rich people. The player with the highest POT can basically killed everyone and not being killed. So basically he / she will ruled the game and win every weekly PK Tournament.

It all started out with Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) being framed by the FBI and became a fugitive while Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) returning to normal life as a doctor. An FBI approached Dr. Scully seeking for their help to search for help to search for their help and in return dropping all charges against Mulder. Dr. Scully was also battling to help a boy from a rare disease without a cure and was objected from the whole hospital expertise to let the boy die in peace.
Father Joe who is sick has some psychic powers to read to search some victims believed to be still alive. A message from God. He is able to feel the situation of the victims and is able to have face recognition of the suspects. As the search continues, it seems that the case was about kidnapping victims for a transplant, a new research by some Russians to save someone important to them. During the investigation as it went in depth, the FBI in charge was murder and the whole investigation was called off as it seems that it was more like a police case.
Dr. Scully however did not believing Father Joe and claimed he was a sicko. Mulder however believe that it has some extraordinary connections and continue the search. In one of the investigation, Father Joe muttered “Don’t give up” to Dr. Scully. Dr. Scully was lost about those words and went to seek for the meaning of it which she did not get. While seeking for the answers, she manages to rescue Fox Mulder from the brink of death who went alone to uncover the truth.
At the end, the truth was uncovered. Fox Mulder was framed once more with Father Joe as his accomplice who had died from sickness. Dr. Scully went on to perform surgery on the boy and it ended.
The movie has some interesting storyline in it but it was dragged a bit too long. Dr. Scully was persuaded many times to help as she is afraid of the dark after so many investigations. The ending was not too good and it has too little features to be claim as an X File.
