| Anarchy Online |
Oh RYL doesn't work out for us. We found a new online game called Anarchy Online. http://www.anarchy-online.com/
Have installed and played it , seems like a very nice game. Based on sci-fi instead of fantasy and if we are going to play WoW later let's not overdo the fantasy setting to death ...
If you are curious about the races and class , here is the manual http://anarchy-online.com/content/downloads/media/pdf/guides/gameguide.pdf , the game requires a LOT of reading and figuring out stuff but fortunately everything is well documented. You can go through the manual slowly as you play. Since the game is pretty well developed 7-8 years old, the graphics don't feel very dated and even though it doesn't have lots of shiny glowing thing popping left and right (there still are , depends on your character class) it has a very nice feel just like classic pen and paper RPG. They recommend that the players actually role play and stay in character and you can be approached by either the game admins or certain volunteer players who cook up individual quests and storyline. For once an actual RPG instead of "run out of city, look for closest monster, hack, rinse, repeat " type RPG that is prevailant :)
Ok, we got the download in hard copy and should pass it to Magnus this weekend.
p/s: We dont have enough people for DotA this Sat so we are rescheduling for Tues ,Chino and Newbie might be able to make it then ...
This game is free for 1 year. |

i think i have not posted anything for the past one week rite? so, here goes, and i can guarantee everything i m about to blog here is rubbish, or sorta for me, or for anyone, i dunno, hahahah, just how u write in diary. (anyone writting rubbish in diary?).
Movies. A lot of nice new movies are coming out soon. Spidy3, Pirates3 and number 23. I personally like number 23 and i would love to watch it as soon as possible. Not because of Jim Carrey, but because of the fact that it's a mysterious one just like Da Vinci Code. I dunno how good is the movie, but i read a lot of good reviews about this movie. As for spidy3, i m not too keen on that, but i will still watch it ^^. Pirates3, i just go to watch Keira Knightly in leather, woohoooooo i have leather fetishm........muacks, ladies in leather rocks big time!!
Games. Not playing any PS2 games at the moment, no games to play also. Am playing Mo Siang and some dota. Will try to download ryl1 and join u guys!!! usually play alone in ryl and it's so boring. Luckily enuf this time, in Mo Siang, i met a lot of nice people. of coz there are always bastards roaming around the land of Mo Siang, i met more good than bad people, so, what the heck, i like the game ^^.
Work. Boring...........trying to write up report for my master and the conference. But sadly, because too many people will be presenting orally, i dun get the chance, i dunno how they select presenter but all i know is i submitted my abstract in last minute, almost at the end of the deadline. Rather disappointed, but hey, look on the bright side, i get to do poster and i will go there to enjoy. i dunno. still disappointed a bit. Will be travelling quite a bit in May, hahaha and June.
Love. We r good friend. Period.
Friendship. Still a bit disappointed. Keep distancing. Period. (from my past experience, this is the best way, i dunno).
ok, that is about all i wanted to blog about, time for reading journal (tiring and boring).
ciao!!! |

| DDS 2 |
Well I choose this title because I finish Dungeon Siege 2 long time ago. I think it is a good game. Well I cheated, by putting a file, my chance of getting magical item is 99.99% as long as I have a magical item equip. So in the end my equipment is all gold in colour or yellow. But still I never expect the game to be good. But in the end the game have proof me wrong. The story told in DDS2 maybe not as cool as KOTOR or KOTOR 2 but for the twist is still too unexpected. Good for you magnus for playing this game.
I know I have been promise to write a guide about how to open a port. Haven't do that is because I don't know how to do a guide for different router have different config. But now I found a website. It will tell you how to do port forwarding. I will post the link here.
"PortForward.com is proud to offer help setting up port forwarding on your router or firewall. Many Internet users are not aware of how to configure their router or firewall in order to use applications like Peer-to-Peer file sharing (PtoP), Internet Games, Web serving, FTP serving, WebCams, IRC DDC, and Instant Messaging such as AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and MS Messenger. "
http://www.portforward.com/default.htm
When using hamachi, even after doing the port forwarding at your router, you are expect to turn off your firewall or bypass it. To do that, go start--->control panel --->windows firewall. From there, you can choose to turn it off or click on exception tab and then look for "add program". Look for the program you want to do exception. For example for warcraft 3 you will look into the installed folder, default is c:\program files\warcraft3. Then click on the war3.exe. Different program use different exe file to run. So if u don't know what file to choose, the best way is right click on the program shortcut, for example hamachi, then select properties. After the window open choose "find target". The target file is the one you need to choose to do exception.
For hamachi, you can set it to go through the port you like, before this choose your lucky number, the number must be between 1025- 65545. After that, do the port forward at your router (hamachi using UDP not TCP, so set the port correctly ), configure you firewall, finally the hamachi program itself, start hamachi, open Hamachi Preferences ---> Detailed Configuration ---> set the UDP port to the selected port (lucky number). Then restart hamachi and it is done. |

| Consoles and Games |
Well I can't make fucking comments because the fucking comments window won't load and I don't fucking know why the fuck it won't load.
NYIAMAH!!!!!
Ok, back to the extrememly serious topic of gaming. The personal computer has always been the most potentially powerful gaming rig out there, IF you spend the money to outfit it for that purpose. However one major drawback with computers are that they are not standardized, which is why I've always preferred consoles.
See a computer can be made for various combinations on hardware and software drivers and from my experience they tend to fuck up a whole lot more than consoles do. Crashes, viruses, driver incompatibility, hard disk crashes. I feel that PCs are generally more problem prone than consoles.
Since a PS2 is standardized hardware the problems of running a PS2 game are virtualy non-existent (don't count glitched cetak-rompak discs). Of course if you have the cash I say buy EVERYTHING, but it still is economical to just put all the money into a super PC and run an emulator (won't be possible for the PS3 though T_T)
Like Warlock and Sai were saying, an Xbox 360 is basically a PC, it runs windows and the hardware ain't all that great. Online play won't matter since its the connection that counts. And almost all Xbox games get ported to the PC anyway. However, if you have siblings or friends to play with its worth getting. Online play merits a PC though since you can do so much more with it online than with a video games console.
The PS3 is simply the most advanced bit of hardware you can get right now, but the games are crappy so far. I am certainly getting a PS3, not an Xbox 360, the tempation to buy a 360 is not because I want it, but because I need consolation since i can't get the PS3.
On the PC front, getting SLi is a waste of money unless you can afford to Sli the most expensive cards. From what I've read Sli gives a 60-80% boost in performance (not double i.e. 100%) WITH SUPPORTING APPLICATIONS. Not many games take advantage of Sli, and if you're thinking of buying 2 budget SLi cards you're better off buying 1 expensive card (1 RM1000 card will always outperform 2 RM500 card). I'm oversimplifying, of course you look at the card's specs. There's also a huge chance that as multicore processing becomes more and more common, individual graphics cards will become redundant as 1 or more cores can be devoted to graphics (hey when I shop I do research first ^_^).
All in all I'd say if you can only afford 1 thing, get a good PC. You can download porn.
PS3 can have Linux installed so you could run it like a PC too and that's worth looking into. I'm not going to buy the current crop, will wait for further price drops and hopefully a decent mod (even the first mods for he PS2 were replaced by better mod chips after a few months). That being said, if you want to get something just buy it, the whole waiting for price drops will just mean getting left behind, prices are always dropping for hardware.
ONLINE GAMING
I won't be able to post comments while in the office, but I have been thinking that we should try playing some online games together, maybe MMORPGs. So everyone please suggest some FREE online games we can play together and post websites addresses for downloading, registering etc. in your comment.
Most of us are too cheap to pay for Wow (I know I am), but I'm sure there's loads of games we can play together besides DotA. So...suggestions? |

| Help save Adole's soul |
I read Adole's take on buying the Xbox360 and I want to try to convince him to not do it before it is too late .. I used to think that way too.
The Xbox360 have ok games, true .. but the problem is that the same game will come to the computer .. with special additions. I would feel cheated if I spend a lot of money to buy the 360 and then they release an even better version of the game for the computer ... stupid Microsoft is doing this all the time now. They'll probably do the same to Fable 2 soon too. If you remember Fable I and Halo were very popular for the Xbox then they released the computer version. Now it is Jade Empire. So why buy the 360 when you can just use the money to upgrade your graphic card and play those games on a computer ?
The lag issue when playing online will still be there regardless of if you are using a computer or the Xbox360 to play .. cause the lag is caused by the internet line and not the console/PC. Unless of course you don't unblock the firewall and do port forwading for the PC .. then the game will lag online but that can be easily fixed.
Besides, with a good PC you'll get better graphics than a 360 simply because both systems are
essentially the same .. the 360 is built like a closed system computer whereas the computer is constantly upgradable. The truth is that some of the newer graphic cards out on the market today will give perfomance that beats the 360 and even the PS3 flat out ! Unlike the olden days of the PS and PS2, computer technology has allready caught up and overtaken the console technology. The only reason to buy a console nowadays is not because the "graphics will look good" (the same graphic will look better on a PC)but simply because the games that you want to play are only for the console and also the hassle of not having to install a game to play it (though nowaday even console games need installation)
You may think that the graphics for the console looks better than a computer with a new graphics card but the reason for that is simply that the TV has a 640x480 only .. the graphics looks "nice" because there are not many details. If you play both the console game and the PC version of the console game on LCD monitors however you will notice that the PC should look better and have more details (assuming you have a kick-ass graphics card). So why bother getting the 360 , better to get a graphic card .. wait , no get 2 graphics card and SLi them :). Of course for some game due to the filters used the 360 might look slightly better but that is becase the game was released for the PC first and then was ported into the Xbox360 with tweaks to make it look better.
As for the PS3 , Sony hasn't made many ports from console to PC so it is still worth getting.
Anyone else want to convince Adole , please feel free to comment.

| bored in the lab.... |
It's so bored now...........supposely, i have something to do, reports etc. I drafted one of my report yesterday and submitted to my supervisor. Now waiting for discussions. On my Master proposal, i need to edit some of the things in there and add in some more. in short, i need to read more, which really bores me. This lab is like a bit lullaby machine, i can sleep seconds after i start reading, seriously. no joking. Moving to research, i m now waiting for the plant to grow a little bit older so that i can use it. I thought today and tomolo i will be bz cutting, but it's scheduled to be next week. So, i m bored now!!!! helping my collegue prepare some media now, hahahahaha and of coz, blogging!!!
Surfing net on not so flashy website is still ok, on my side here, the wall have eyes. so, newspaper sites and wikipedia are ok. others like mmosite and the likes are, hmm.....better not go there when people walk by. chatting is a BIG no, but i do it anyway.....just dun get myself exposed. well, i have this blog on the entire day in the lab, just refresh whenever i have the time. and i also on kawaii-radio and request some song that i could not find anywhere.
BORED now!!! teach me what to do ler? i guess i will go read a bit later.the whole day today and tomolo i will be like this. if i were a government staffs now, i wont be in such boring situation. Time is flexible, not to say that our time here is not, but just that we have to confine ourself inside the 4 walls. cant move around and go shopping or tea like government staffs when they waiting for PCR and autoclaving media and such. just feel so blessed that streamyx still exist in this lab, or else.................. |

| HI everyone |
Been a pretty quiet week so far .. not much crap from certain bitches in my lab (but that is another story). I've been trying to pick up tennis recently and have been to UKM's court for a few times allready .. I never thought I would say this about a sport but tennis is fun , when you are not looking for the ball in knee deep grass. It seems quite silly to me that for a game where the ball will tend to fly out and land in grass, the tennis ball is coloured GREEN ! (Ok greenish yellow , sue me ) When ever I spend a few minutes looking for that missing ball thanks to my "SUPAAA-POWAAA SHOTTO" I curse the idiot who declared that tennis balls must be green .. sigh. Why can't it be striking red or something .. makes it easier to spot. I'm not coming down for DotA this weekend .. not like we've had any sessions recently. Hope the Ookies and Magnus have fun. I'll just stick to Hamachi for my DotA needs .. remember , if you wanna play DotA just message me : ) It is quite sad that when the game that I wanted to play for so long comes out, my graphics card dies on me .. sigh. Well guess I won't be playing Supreme Commander anytime soon. Shame. I was so hyped up about the game .. not too many decent RTS games out nowadays. I have to miss playing C&C 3 also ....damn damn damn damn damn damn. Sigh T_T Labels: T_T, warlock |

| Bloody Mondays..... |
Damn...bored in the office and the internet has been on the fritz the whole day. I'm going to keep this short since I don't know if it wil even get published.
Spend Friday evening caught in a massive storm, couldn't go home so had to stay out for dinner.
Spent the whole of Saturday stripping my computer apart, putting it back together and trying to figure out why the fuck I kept getting the blue screen of death. After fiddling about the whole day I finally concluded that it was the new 512MB RAM chip I bought. Went to Low Yat on Sunday morning to change it, store confirmed the chip was fucked and gave me a new one, went home and installed everything. My PC works now and way better than it did before. Will post pix soon.
Well, that's it. Going home now to my beloved computer. |

| Movies |
Last week, i went to watch 3 movies, 9.56, The Reaping and Sunshine. I like both the movies........I like The Reaping best. It's quite scary and thrilling, but to anyone that always watch scary movies, u will know when to cover ur eyes a bit to avoid total shocking experience, it's quite predictable, but the plot isnt. It's science versus paranormal activities, so u have it there, wan to know more? go watch the movie. On 9.56, it's a korean horror movie, quite scary also (the one and only one horror movie that really get to me is Ju on series, seriously. one of the scene for instant got me so stunned, i was actually stunned for 3 seconds before i can really move and get something to cover my face and start to tremble, but the feeling is nice, ^^). As for 9.56, it's just another horror movie, nothing much to explain here, the same ghostly style; long dress, long hair and walking with shivering bodies making cracking sound. It's typical. Onto the Sunshine, erm......it's quite good actually, another sci fic, but not as good as The Core or the likes, they did not elaborate a lot on what had happend and in what way or the logic of their actions. They just said the usual stuffs as like in da trailer and that's it. But one thing i really like is Michelle Yeoh's role in the movie, hahaha, it's really like what i m doing now. and i like their idea on that particular spot. I so like the idea, and guess what, we (people from my field) will be acting like her ^^ no spoiler, go watch. Other than this, nothing much.
If i have extra $$$$$ more, i wan to wathc TMNT. well, got one time, i watch the entire shows in the cinemas for that particular week, got nothing left for me to watch, hahahaha. I want to do like this again.
U guys still play Dota using hamachi? if i wan play, i probably can join only in Thu. other days, might be a bit late like 11 something, i miss Dota, feel like playing again ^^ Warlock, i will give u a call if i wan to play. The reason? It seems that my connection is very stable this few weeks, some dc only, i hope i dun speak too soon. |

| Graphic card, graphic card, sigh.... |
When magnus say he want to buy a graphic card and ask for opinion. It remind me how many graphic card I had. Although I cannot say I had change the most graphic card among all of us. But it certainly not on the low one. Well everyone who play pc game should know how important graphic card to gaming on pc. Unfornately I didn't know that when I bought my second pc. So I end up buying a computer with a not so good card which is Gforce 2 mx 100/200.
First sign of insufficient power of the card show when I play Silent Hill 2. When the heavy fog come out, the game lag like hell. Then the situation went downward as in a lot of games came out with higher requirement. So I think is time for me to buy a new graphic card. After go online and see. The one card that fit my budget will be Gforce 5600. Okay so I went and buy it. After using it for a few month then only found out that this card does not really put the use of direct X 9 to the full. So some of the game will still lack even I put to low setting. Sigh.... Nevertheless, I still can play warcraft 3 at full so I have no complain.
when I enter the third year in university, because my sister need a pc for work and entertainment of cource. So I bought a new pc which I research a lot.I put my effort so that it is not only powerful but also cheap. This is the pc I like a lot. When I buy this pc, I install MSI Geforce 5700U in it. The card is good. can play all the game at recommended setting and sometimes at full. Very happy but unfortunely the fan spoil after one year. I have to buy a new fan for it which cost me like RM180. the fan brand is coolmaster and the fan really look cool. It cover entire card with aloy and a big fan and also the conductor which will cool down the behind part of the card. Well the card don't last long after that, part of it because I didn't realize the fan is spoil in the beginning so guess the chip must be overheat or something like that.
So the card spoil, no choice, warlock is intend to buy a graphic card for his new pc as well, So I went online and find that one card will definitely fit our need. the almighty Geforce 6600GT. It was say that the performance of this card even beat the low end Geforce 6800. This is the card I like a lot. The brand I use is Winfast. I use this card more than a year and then an unfortunate event happen again. This time is not the card fault, is my fault. I didn't off my pc when I went back and there is a lighting strike at our house. my pc is at mess after I come back. After send to the shop. All the part of my pc like prosessor, ram and motherboard is spoil and the it is more than a year I bought the pc so the shop warranty is gone. What to do? haha! thats the good thing buying a good brand. My processor and motherboard is Intel which provide me 5 years warranty. Ram is cossair which provide lifetime warranty. So the shop will send the parts for warranty and I just have to paid RM30 for each of the part I send. After few weeks of waiting I get back a brand new processor, ram and motherboard. Still better than buy a new pc. So what about the parts of my pc. Well at first they doesn't seem to have anything wrong. But the harddisk, burner and of course the graphic card seems to broke down one by one. Burner of course had no choice but to buy a new one. Harddisk I bought is Seagate, good brand, give you 5 years warranty. ok send it for warranty and get back a new one. The same one go to my graphic card, 3 years warranty. I just got it back last week after 3 months of waiting because the shop I buy this graphic card is not the usual one I go. They have the lousy service on warranty. I shall not mention the shop name here. But if you ask me, I recommend not to buy anything from that shop.
But you know me, no way I can suvive without game for three month, and yes, I get a new graphic card again. This is the younger brother of my old card, Geforce 7600GT. This time I didn't go for a good brand cause I figure out I'm going to change the pc soon. So if this card can last one year is good enought for me. I was impress by the card performance actually. It can even run neverwinter nights 2 at high setting without lack. Before that it actally lack but that's because my pc background is running some process which take out like half my processor power.
Well Magnus, what can I tell you is that MSI is not really a good brand. The fan get spoil easyly. Mine one is gone and warlock one is MSI as well. After one year plus the fan torn off. Yes torn off, not spoil but the fan come out totaly and the card become useless. After I check online and know that MSI provide 2 years warranty. I ask warlock to try get the warranty. But the shop say the 2 years is count by manualfacture date, not the purchase date. I don't know about other brand but this one sound stupid to me. If I buy a new card but the card manualfacture one year ago. that mean I still got one year warranty but not two. Stupid leh. I can't borrow my card to warlock cause mine is using AGP but warlock pc is new so it is using pci express. So now warlock has no graphic card on his pc. Sigh..
Hope you get some idea from this and get a good graphic card. All I can say is for computer component it is important to look not only the performance but also the service and support. that is why AMD cannot beat Intel, ATI cannot beat Nvidia. There are always a reason for it. There are a lot of games are optimize for Nvidia not ATI.Labels: Live long and prosper |

| Updates, Shopping and more |
Well it has been awhile since my last post, mostly because I’ve become bored with our blog. I guess I’m just an attention whore that wants lots of comments and discussions on posts which I do get at the other forums I frequent. But anyway, that’s my excuse for the lack of posts.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
It was a good movie and is definitely worth watching. It won’t be winning any awards, but if you grew up watching the Turtles and playing with the toys and video games you will like this show. I hope they make a sequel to it.
Incidentally, the cast had a few names I did not expect:
Winters/Yoatl : Patrick Stewart (come now, everyone though that voice was familiar)
April O’Neil : Sarah Michelle Gellar
Karai (oh hot hot) : Ziyi Zhang/Zhang Ziyi (ugh, bleah, vomit)
Narrator : Lawrence Fishburne (Morpheus)
My Monday Vacation
So I took leave this Monday (oh damn I need to fill up the stupid form now) to spend time with my cousin and aunt. He came down for some shoulder operation and is here till this Friday for physiotherapy. We went to Sungai Wang and Low Yatt to hang out.
The bugger bought a PS3!!!! ARGH!!!!! FUCK!!!!! Okay yeah. They’re selling unmodified PS3s for RM1500. This is the 20gB version, the 60gB version is at least RM2000. Not worth it though unless you really want WiFi. Since I still have loads of PS2 games to finish I’m not buying one yet, especially since there’s no modded version yet. Tempted to get the Xbox 360 though, about RM1000 now.
I did play a bit of Resistance Fall of Man on the PS3 and it did not make me want to puke my guts out. Could advances in graphics finally mean I can play First Person Shooters?
I just bought a measly 512mB of RAM for my PC and a new case. Incidentally, did you know that a 512mB DDR chip costs as much as a 1gB DDR-2 chip. Sucks I tell you. Anyways, this weekend its modding time for me, time to soup up my old computer.
Thinking of upgrading my graphics card at PC Fair this Friday. I use an AGP slot so my options are limited, but the cards are pretty cheap so I’m planning to get one with a DVI port at least, maybe 2 if I can find one.
The madness of PC Fair is upon me!!! Must spend!!! Any graphics cards suggestions?
My Migration
From the looks of it, its possible that my 1st of September trip will be postponed. We found out that its better for us to apply for a Fiancée visa so there’s no problems when I apply for Permanent Residence. Unfortunately we can only apply once my fiancée gets citizenship, somewhere around June/July, which means that I can’t buy my ticket now.
I’m spending some time sulking about this, but what the hell, might as well do it right.
Plasma LCD and DLP
As I posted in the shout out box yesterday, I’m thinking of buying an HDTV for my fiancées birthday and for our apartment in the States. I’m going to go with at least a 42 inch model. Not going to buy it right away though, I’ll take a month or two to do more research and get a good deal. I know she’s partial to plasma, but it’s all the same to me.
Plasma basically has the best picture and contrasts, its cheaper than LCD at sizes 50 inches and up, is heavier than LCD, uses more electricity and suffers from image burn in. There’s also a flickering issue that would probably give me headaches.
LCD is basically the same as the computer monitors we know and love, cheaper than plasma at below 50 inch sizes, uses less electricity, lighter, less heat, no burn in but has ghosting issues.
DLP is basically a tiny LCD projector in a gigantic case, the bulb lasts about 1-4 thousand hours before popping. It’s the cheapest of the 3, has the worst picture of the HDTVs and has issues playing in bright places. However it is the cheapest of all, I could actually buy a 60 inch model. It has all the ups and downs of LCD.
So far I’m not that impressed with plasma, particularly because of the burn in, they say there’s technologies to compensate for that now, and the flickering. This whole crap about picture quality is bullshit except to only the most hardcore videophiles. They say LCD has trouble with displaying ‘true blacks’ I haven’t noticed this. Ghosting is a non issue as far as I can tell as well, maybe with models from 3-4 years ago it was a problem but not anymore.
The lifespan of LCD and Plasma is roughly the same, about 60,000 hours. If you watched it for 7 hours a day that’s 23 years. DLP is noticeable shorter, but you have to replace the bulb every few thousand hours (which you can’t do for LCD or plasma, once they die they die).
All in all, I’m going to get an LCD or a DLP, I’ll only buy a plasma if there’s a really good deal on it. All I know so far is that it must be at least 42 inches. I have no idea which brand yet, but I’m partial to Samsung. Looking at reviews for USA only brands like Olevia as well, they’re actually good too. Ultimately its LCD, DLPs I’ve seen so far have crappy picture that even I can notice.
I’d appreciate advice if you guys have any ideas, so far I’m sticking to Amazon.com for my retail needs.
Conclusion
Well I can’t think of anything else so that’s it for today. Now I suppose I should get back to work… |

| confession!! |
| Last nite when i was watching School Rumble eps 9 and 10, it really got to me that in fact i m a lot like Harima Kenji when it comes to liking someone. hahahah. In these 2 eps, he is trying to confess his feeling to Tenma, the girl of his dream. And he said (translated of coz) he does not wan to feel regret for not confessing and either get accepted or rejected is good enuf, no regrets. And i think, hmm......i should do like him, i dun wan to dangle as i m in now. Believe me, IT'S SO NOT FUN. Now that when i think of going into FS or karaoke, there will be a small force that constrain me from going there, well, it's her interest of coz, and i think to solve this, i need to confess!!! hahaha, i dun dare to say for sure, but i think i will b rejected, ^^ i have thought of some other possible reasons y she will reject me, and some are loosely career based. but either way, i need to confess. I dun wan to feel regret like Harima said. hhahaa. need to continue the anime to see how things going. c, even anime can sometime help u to make decision, i dunno how true is that, but it sure helped me this time around. I hope she does not have a bf yet ^^ although the chances are slim. |

Now that I have been resurrected from the grave I can finally post again.. Yeay ! Erm ... stil have no idea on what to post. Guess this will have to be one of those random raving posts that I tend to spew. Not ! Now we all know that finally, finally they are making a Transformers movie .. not an animated one but a slam bang CGI laden real movie ! It started off ok with announcements like the news of Peter Cullen being confirmed as the voice of Optimus Prime how can we not want to hear Optimus spewing out those age old lines that so made the hair on the back of our necks stand like .. " Freedom is the right of all sentient beings " or the all famous "Autobots, transform and roll out !".
**********************************SPOILER ALERT ********************************
OK from this point on you'll probably be faced with spoiler (but nothing not discussed in the official Transformers : The Film forums) Yeah ! They got the right stuff allright ... .. or do they ? I was starting to get a little worried when I saw some of the promo pictures because the transformers now have eyeballs ! No longer do they have their glass mirror eyes that blink on and off :P but they now have eyeballs. At first it was pretty shocking but after a while I realised that having eyes might not be a bad thing as the characters will be able to emote better. The producers said that the Optimus will be able to show more emotions because he will now have a mouth instead of the mask like thingy he has in the original cartoon. Don't worry dear Transformers fans, it seems the mask is still there , it will appear when he is about to go into battle mode. Phew .. so far so good.
Then they did it. They made the weirdest blunder .. of all the things they could do they screwed up Starscream. No they didn't turn him upside down and anally molest him but believe me he would have preferred that to what they did to him in the movie. Starscream in the movie doesn't look anything like the original in his robot mode. He looks like some bald orangutan with tubes for arms .. no kidding ! They didn't even keep the head for nostalgic reasons ..nope .. no sireee .. Starscream has an insect head .. sigh. I know they will find a way to screw up the movie. If that was not enough , leaks on the story indicates that the entire storyline of the Transformers crashing on earth in the Arc (and possible causing the extinction of dinosaurs and the emergence of man as the dominant species on the planet) .. nooo .. they had to do a damn reset of the story and screw up everything. Damn Steven Speilberg said that he wants the story to give the "a boy and his car" type movie feel !!!! Blasphemy !
Just when I was giving up hope on the movie I found this thread on the forum http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showthread.php?t=4930 and somehow reading this helped restore my faith in the fact that even though they may screw up some parts of the story the essence of what the Transformers are all about will be kept. Heres to keeping fingers crossed ! *********************************************************************************** What lines do you think MUST be in the movie ? Labels: transformers, warlock |

Ah, as the title implies, hmm........oh hell ya, i m back to play Suikoden 3. I like the Opening OST so much!!! It really lifts my spirit, VV, i m going to send u to test ahahahah. Mayb it's just me, but it really works wonder. I feel energetic after listening to it. The title is Exceeding Love by Himekami (i dunno who is this or what group, but seems quite popular, probably i will wikipediaed it later). Oh yea, Suikoden 3 rocks ^^ it gives me this homey feel, especially in the Bedhuc castle. All the other Suiko games never gave me such feeling, only Suiko 3. And the camera angle is so nice, the world in Suiko 3 looks larger and vast at best. Unlike Suikoden 5, when walking, it's bird's eye view.
FYI, i have gotten over my depression. h ahahah, it feels great, but still something is missing here. ^^ i cant care much now whether people double standard me, back stabbing me, whatever the reason that made me depress, ah, one of the reason is games (darn good games like Xeno3 and ToA), i will shrug all off. I think i m back to my old self, quite emotionless......just slightly a better version of Adole.
Oh yea!!! i m finally at the 63kg weight lv. ^^ i feel great and more confident about myself, hahaha. 3 more kgs to shed. and i think i will need a month time to do so. Or at best, 63 kg will be the lowest i can get cause i ahve broad shoulders and considering big and heavy bones. I m doing swimming also, so all the muscles developed will just add in to my weight lv. but still, i m trying to achieve my target, 60 kg. If i m still not satisfied with 60 kg, i will go down more. i hope 60 kg will be my last target. My previous target was 70 kg, then to 67.5, then 65. and lastly now i wanted 60kg. Wish me all da best! I need to dye my hair again, hahah, i just got some crazy ideas. probably next month ^^ |

| a little opinion pls |
Zombie? i pass.
Speaking of food, lol, me and my colleague were talking about food this morning and we have not been to kfc for quite sometime. and then she just all of the sudden mention about dunkin doughnuts (spelling?) and i instantly support that the doughnuts are extremely nice and we havent been eaten that for years. Reason? there is no dunkin doughnuts outlet in Kuching!!! so my question is that.......erm........how much do we need to play to buy over the franchise? any other legal stuffs that i required? Magnus is in the legal line rite? can somehow advise me what to do? lol, i m serioiusly looking into any kind of business to make money.
Thanks in advance. ah by the way.......Shining Force EXA is a let down. dun bother playing unless u guys have no other better games to play. sigh........i m thinking of going back to play Front Mission 4 or...............FFX or..................Grandia 3 or Suikoden 3.................... |

| Good news!!! |
Dear gamers,
There is a piece of great news that i wan to share with everyone (perhaps this is somewhat outdated, but anyway). I just browsed a webbie and there is an article citing that monolith had confirmed to release Xenosaga IV sometime later, no date is slated for the release though. This is due to the overwhelming respond from the us, the gamers towards da Xenosaga 3 (erm....cetak rompak does not count rite? heck). Go to www. rpgamer.com for more infos, or any similar webbie.

| what a weekend!!! |
Tiring weekends, and absolutely no time to rest. i m rushing here and there. so i really need some good rest. ^^ blogging is one of the thing to rest ur mind ^^ got no time to sit down to play games also. 24 hours is friggin' not enuf for everyone, or at least for me. I need to find more time for myself ^^ time is scarce. How good if i can stop my time and just move along in the time stream. my time stop and others moving. just like vampire!!! Dracula!! Immortality is a beautiful thing. but at the same time, it mayb a curse. IT'S a curse. Being vampire in modern days is quite easy, u dun have to go around hunting for blood. there is syntethic blood to begin with. just drink as much as u wan. A vampire invests in syntethic blood manufacturing and supplied it to hospital could easily cover up his/her dark side from the eyes of the world. the bonus? they r supplied with blood everyday. although they might claim that it wont be as fresh as living blood. the oxygen content perhaps. Vampires are elegent creature. they r so......hmm.......charming, sexy, hmm..................alluring........whatever.
Ah, this reminds me of Castlevania. lol. i purely love castlevania and there was an instant that i wished i was a vampire like Alucard. hmm......now? hehehehehe |
