Dreamworld
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 25/12/2020
» If you heard the name "My Life As Ali Thomas", the first thing you'd probably say is "Wait, that's a name?" Yes, it's the name of a Thai indie-folk rock band that writes songs in English, and though the name is odd, the story behind it makes sense.

Cinema scope
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 12/06/2020
» After months of endless streaming in the confinement of your home, cinemas are finally open once more! Though our movie-going experience may look a little different than it was before, at least for the next few weeks or so, it's still good to know that we have the choice to actually watch films in a proper cinema. If you're dying to finally go on a movie date with your friends, loved ones, or you just want to treat yourself, here are the movies showing in various cinemas right now.

On a liquid diet
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/03/2020
» Unless you're really health-conscious, on a cleanse or you're watching your weight, vegetable juices probably aren't your drink of choice. After all, they're not necessarily appetising. The taste of most vegetable juices take getting used to and after making numerous faces because of the odd tastes, you may start enjoying them. However, that's not the case for Paak. In fact, they may be the reason you start drinking vegetable beverages on a regular basis.

The 2020 Guru awards
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 31/01/2020
» We know it's the last day of January -- and if you weren't aware, it's February tomorrow -- but as a tweet said, we'll consider January the free-trial period and start 2020 properly on the first day of February. A bunch of stuff has already happened, not all of them good, but before we move ahead and put the past behind us, Guru would like to take one last look at the year that was. "The Guru Awards" have been held for the past two years but so much has happened that we decided it would be best to do a full feature in 2019 instead of just a few paragraphs in the Editor's Note. Seeing that the Academy Awards are also coming up, we couldn't think of a better time to give out our snarky, passive-aggressive accolades. So, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to welcome you the 2020 Guru Awards -- no monologues, no opening numbers from Neil Patrick Harris. Just pure unadulterated cynicism.

Welcoming a new decade!
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/01/2020
» For those of you who may have missed it, we are in a new decade. Yes, you read that right. No, you are not hallucinating. Yes, we are all old. Welcome to the beginning of the 2020s where films like Back To The Future and Blade Runner are not just classics but the future worlds depicted in them are now effectively in the past; where years like 2050 and 2060 no longer sound ridiculous like they did back in the early 2000s and where those born in 2000 are 20 years old. It's a lot to take in, that's for sure. With every new year also comes the declarations of "New year, new me" posted all over social media and vocally announced at dinner tables everywhere. Resolutions are made and kept for a good two weeks or so before being thrown out the window. So instead of trying to expect things to happen that we aren't even sure will happen, let's take a look at the stuff that we're fairly certain will happen this year. Here's a couple of things to look forward to this 2020.

The apocalyptic delivery guy
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 06/12/2019
» Hideo Kojima's long-awaited game, which has been shrouded in much secrecy, has been out for a good number of weeks now. Back when content was just being teased and trailers were being released, no one had any idea what was going on. Now that the game is out, we finally understand... sort of. A bit. Kinda.

Daniel in the music den
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 20/09/2019
» Messy hair, baggy shirts and a 90s vibe all around, Daniel Didyasarin seems like your typical half-Thai, half-American schoolboy with vintage tendencies. You might pass him on the sidewalk without a second thought, but this fresh-faced young man is a promising artist on the rise in Thailand's music scene. Daniel is a member of the bands Penny Time and City Plant, but since those two bands are currently on a break (hopefully not the Ross and Rachel kind), he's kept busy and released his first solo album Bedroom, not to mention a couple of EPs and singles, as well. You get the chance to hear him live on Sept 22 at Siri House. Guru sat down and talked to the burgeoning young artist.

A few too many heroes
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 26/07/2019
» In a world that's filled with super-serumed worthy captains, broody billionaires in batsuits (either with or sans nipples) and "love you 3000s", it's obvious that it's the golden age of superheroes. Now a normal everyday part of pop culture, these characters and worlds are no longer just the talk of nerds and geeks in the closed enclaves of comic book stores, evidenced by the fact that the highest grossing film of all time is now a superhero film. It's in this superhero-saturated time that the card game Too Many Heroes will be introduced. Ironically, the game deals with a universe wherein there are... well, too many heroes and there are certain effects to society because of their presence. The game's three creators — Carol Blackmon, Sacha P. Nathan and Sunny Sachdev — have worked together to make the game's universe, which is an alternate reality to our own, as detailed as can be. Guru talked to Blackmon, the game's art director and Nathan, the game's writer, about Too Many Heroes.

The highs and lows of E3 2019
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 28/06/2019
» E3 2019 has come and gone and that means a whole lot of reveals to relive, exciting moments to rewatch and new titles to look forward to. Or does it? I'll reserve judgment on E3 this year as a whole towards the end but here are some highlights and lowlights from 2019's E3 conference.

The art and science of burgers
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/05/2019
» Rattanapong "Taiki" Tsubota made waves two years ago when he started Homeburg. If it isn't obvious already, the name is a mix of "home" and "burger", which encapsulates the burgers he made back then. But that isn't the reason why his burgers went viral. Aside from being meticulously and precisely crafted, he was serving four to eight burgers a day, eventually racking up a long wait list. Now, he's set up shop for the next six months at 72 Courtyard with Bun Meat & Cheese by Homeburg, where he's serving his famed burgers with a slightly higher availability at 100 burgers a day. We sat down with the burgerman to talk about his method and process, and why he wants to keep a limit on the burgers.
