This christmas I’ve decide to shop for something different, rather than going shopping at Malls in Auckland. so I’ve decide to shop in the Central city, there this one place where it’s differently unique, it’s on a lane call Vulcan lane! Yes we do have a lane that’s named parallelism the logical race the Vulcan’s. This place it call Cassette Number nine, Cassette No# 9!

It operates, between the hours of lunchtime and to five  in the afternoon. it’s one of the awesome shopping places around town. beside Parnell. When you shop there it’s operated by fashion, and students alike.  Many of them study at local Auckland  universities institutional whom set the fashionably tone on the next upcoming trends. The place has a trendy bohemian  last century 1930’s colonial essences to it, Basically when you walk up the stairs to Cassette, your lock into two temporal references, either you’re in 1930’s or in 2010?

There’s this one stall that’s interesting to know, it’s call CandyRetro, they have this Awesome collection of Retro recycle items, but also freshly handmade wares, there’s this one ware which is a vinyl music disc which is molded crafted into a bowls,  also other hand crafted wares. when you browse through their website you know what I brought. the Cassette supermarket is unique, different and very much so no generic.

If you like something that’s completely different, handcrafted unique, and classically timeless, the Cassette supermarkets are for you!

Cassette number Nine markets Saturday, Vulcan Lane, Auckland Central, Auckland | New Zealand shopping hours between 12 to 5Pm afternoons.

Planning too join the rebellion against the evil empire of Emperor Palatine. well this game app does allow for you to join the rebellion. This game app is called Star Wars trench run version two it’s by THQ wirless! It’s basically reliving the challenging battles from Episodes four of the Star wars, episodes. Naming ” A new hope”

Have you every wonder?, what was like to play the games that are in the days of dancing the robot dance( thanks to C3PO for creating those awesome dance moves), watching movies and memorable moments on the VCR ( either VHS or BETA )? . There’s this game App that I’m addicted too that brought wonderful memories of being flying through the trenches of the Death Star, trying to voiding the sneaky blaster cannons that awaits you every single moments that you entered into the trenches just try to fire Torpedos into the a small hole, which is a heat venting conduit which leads to the heart of the Death Star’ reactor. also reliving favourite moments, escaping from the Death Star after rescuing Princess Leia, then battling it all out to escape, with that mysterious cargo that the Stromtroopers place by the orders of Darth Vader.

This game allows you to enter in various ships of you choosing from the classic X-Wing, to the infamous wicked modified YT-1300 freighter The millennium Falcon, the classic Tie Fighter, also Vader’s fighter or just your average Y-wing fighter. The game allows you fly in different missions dogfights, trenches, and Han Solo. One night feature that I’ve like is the changablitiy of between first and third person view in flying combat. Some how playing this game app bring back remembering the days of playing it at the arcades, when it was all wire frame, before it was skin and textured.

Playing this requires a little bit more skill, in saying this I use and still to play a lot of Star Wars also that goes for Star Trek PC games in the past both requires Joystick, Keyboarding and Mousing. Playing with the Phone requires a lot of moment and balancing with the wrist movements, that means taking the game a seldom slower than the intense PC gaming, where you just go in into the fight like flying a Viper, and creating nothing but the rain out from Cyclons in Battlestar Galatica. But if there’s a Battlestar Galatica version out there I like to know.

The Star Wars trench run, is great when you need adventuring life out from Tatooine, and will give you workout.
