The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Games Uplate Live is a Philippine television game show broadcast by ABS-CBN. Originally hosted by Jaymee Joaquin, it premiered on August 7, 2006. It showcases various interactive games such as word games, anagrams, puzzles as well as math problems that contestants must solve in order to win. It also features live chat services. In order to register for the show, viewers must download the picture message, logo, MMS, or ringtone of the day by messaging the text code "UP" to 2366. The names of the texters that have registered are then placed in a bowl, out of which one name is drawn out of per night. The person whose name is pulled out will receive a call asking them to participate in the show. In 2008, DJ Laila took over the hosting duties until its cancellation on October 2, 2009 to give way to Pinoy Big Brother: Double UpLate (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
