We are moving
For as long as Storm Lion has existed, the staff worked, played and hung around 298 RV Road. Now they are preparing for the exodus. "To 296 RV Road we go" they chant, "To the office space below!"

Office antics Ep. 1
Episode one of office antics did not take place at the office. The whole Storm Lion crew was out to lunch yesterday, when the subject of magic was brought up. Jum, our production manager, offered to demonstrate an effect called black magic. The effect involves the "magician" looking away while the spectator chooses an object. The magician turns forward, and the assistant begins to point at several different objects. Eventually, the magician guesses it correctly.
Jum takes his magic one step further by performing an effect that he calls magic squares (this is not the magic square that the common magician performs). The concept is similar to the black magic. A 3x3 square is setup. The magician looks away, and a spectator chooses one of the squares. The magician turns back and the assistant begins to point - seemingly at random - at each square. The magician correctly stops the assistant when s/he points to the chosen square.
I am not familiar with the details of how the effect works, though I know it involves the assistant sending a message to the magician. At first only Jum and Ed, our CEO, knew about the method. Then Gav, the VP of Business Development, figured out the method and the fun began. Candice, our Administration Manager, and I were baffled. I was lost in my thoughts trying to figure out the pattern, while Candice pestered Gav.
The guys who know the mechanics of the trick have their lips sealed. So I guess we're stuck being spectators.

Storm Lion's first blog post
Hello World,
Welcome to the Storm Lion blog. My name is Chris and I will be taking care of this blog. I'd like to take the opportunity to present some information.
Who or what is Storm Lion?
Storm Lion is the Asian imprint/sister company of Radical Comics, a publishing company based in the United States. Storm Lion is based in Singapore. We work with intellectual properties (IP). What it means is we tap into an idea and work it into different formats and mediums. From comic books, movies, toys and games, etc.
What purpose does this blog serve?
We plan to use the blog to announce the launch of new products and special events. To get an idea of who we are, I plan to blog about life as a Storm Lion staff from everyone's point of view. Last but not least I intend to have entries on office antics, which always provides a good laugh.
Who are you?
I am Chris. I will have more on myself in later posts. Cheers.
