Two-O-O-Eight

In a couple of hours we can safely said..."GTFO 2007 , Here come the bitch 2008 " . LoL. I must admit...next near 'can' be great for me. Well, at least for my birthday... 08/08/08. What a freakin nice number i got there.


I opt to stay in my house and kill Zeus in God of War 2 i bought recently for my PS3 instead of go & join the crowd of crazyass people that celebrate it on the street. Why? let me make a comparison.

Stay at home:

• sit on the comfortable couch
  
• playing PS3 on my HDTV
• air-conditioned room
• can eat what ever i want
• wear simple clothes
• can sleep whenever i want, wherever i want

Go out & have a partyyyy!! :

• girls
• girls
• girls....shit, she's a guy
• wet & sweaty
• FCUKING HOT..and i mean the temperatures
  
• end up sitting on the side road...if worse, cant even sit down because too damn crowded
• tired but cannot sleep....and that suck

That pretty much sum up how "staying at home" > "party outside".

Oh, before i forgot..the only fun part in celebrating New Year's Eve is during the first 5 minutes after Midnight. After that, everything is normal again, just like nothing big ever happen. If you count that in PLUS the time you join the crowd from 8 pm, it's a freakin' waste of precious time.

Actually, last 3 weeks i thought of something. What is the worst thing you ever see in your life?. For me, the no 1 spot goes to "watching hindustan movie preview on tv without a friggin' subtitle". I dont know whether the guys at the tv stations a dumbass or a moron, but 1 thing for sure..that guys think we're born with the ability to translate other language on the fly.

What the point showing a preview which you cant understand a jack about it?. Man, the world become weirder and weirder on every second and i dont expect in 2008 things will become better than this year.


Anyways..Happy New Year....

I think it's time for me to forget that 'someone'. *sigh* Now im off to kill Zeus ..again

Phistree

According to my previous post, yes..im a PS3 owner. Quite a proud one i must say. I bought my PS3 with my first salary and didnt even regret it. Up until now, i only have 3 games, 2 on Blu-ray disc(Assassin's Creed & DiRT) and one is Downloaded from PSN(Warhawk)...Unreal Tournament 3, Haze & COD4 will be coming soon :P

Let the pictures speak for themself:



Dual Shock 3 & SIXAXIS

DiRT & Assassin's Creed

















My PS3 Setup with 32' LCD TV

















Ever wonder how Gran Turismo 5 look on PS3?..just take a look at the picture below
















Now the only thing i need to wait is...Metal Gear Solid 4 & Final Fantasy 13

Multiplatform: Bliss or Curse?

I've been a PS3 owner for about 3 months and quite satisfied with it(except for Singapore PSN, lacks of Classic game to download unlike US PSN). I've been following the gaming news right after the PS3 was announce in 2006. Sure, at that time alot of game stay in "exclusive-title" camp. But after awhile, it seem "Multiplatform" camp looks better than "Exclusive" camp..maybe because there's alot of hot chick in there.

Game developer nowdays tend to jump into the Multiplatform-Bandwagon faster than you can say "OMGWTFBBQ" properly. Sure, it's understandable that the cost for next-gen is higher than building a Mercedes and game dev trying to coup up with their spending by going multiplatform. Actually, for me & this post..it's not about i disagree with "Multiplatform" or "Exclusive" direction the Game Dev take, it's all about the end product. yes, the GAME.

Some game dev (*cough*EA*cough*) really starting to piss me off with their games....no, their CRAPPY games. Take EA sport game as an example, most of it play poorly on PS3 but run fine on 360. Is EA some 360 fanboy or something?..most of their game look crappy on PS3(except Fifa 08 which is damn good) and the 'usual' answer we get is: "PS3 is hard to code..bla..bla...". I dont think 'hard to code' is an issue with the hardware..it's the issue with the people. Admit it, they are too lazy to write a code. and stop milking money using a crappy port..this goes also to you, KOEI. Stop blaming on console sale and start blaming on you crappy & repetitive games.

On the other hand, Ubisoft & Infinity Ward make a fine example that Multiplatform game should look like. Look at Assassin's Creed & Call of Duty 4 head-to-head 360 & PS3 comparison, it looks identically the same..unless you want to go for technical stuff like shader or lighting where for other people they dont give a shit about that stuff. Although both of the game got some issue in PS3(Assassin's Creed freeze & COD4 got online issue), at least they didnt ruined the enjoyment..ok, Assassin's Creed screen lockup is damn irritating for a while, but after i updated to V1.10, i encounter no screen lockup during 6 hours of gameplay.

By making a good multiplatform games and run good on both system, then you'll get a larger worldwide audience. What the point aiming for a wide audience where your game suck real hard on 1 particular console? You're wasting your money anyways and spark another console fanboy war in the forum nearby.

Daemon

It's not the Daemon from Warhammer 40,000 universe(that Daemon surely is a scary one).




It's from the Golden Compass. And here it is, my Daemon...a Lynx :D

The New Banner

How about the new banner?..neat huh?. I take the Frozen Tundra of Northend from the artwork of World of Warcraft Second Expansion :Wrath of the Lich King with open up the new continent of Northend in Warcraft lore where the first expansion, The Burning Crusade open up the infamous Orc homeland, the Outland

Long Long Ago, 20th Century

Fields of green that covered the land,
The grace of seasons, flowers of prayers,
Beaches brimming with white sands,
And pretty sakura shells.

They brought us joy,
To all of our hearts,
That was a time when,
The oceans were still cobalt blue.

Treasured days of the past,
Long long ago, 20th century

A Blue Rose

Whose beauty the Dream Realm knows,
Of no earthly manifestation, discreetly kept,
Of more value unrevealed from Nature's miracle.
The rare, the precious perfection,
Quintessence of the Love of two.
The Fair Lady with her vessel of bounty and giving,
The Suitor with his Staff of enterprise and sustainment.
To hold gently nurturing with tender touch,
The cherished thoughts they create
In fragrance and feel, Magical, from pink to violet to blue.

I Wonder......

I always has this thought all of the time...

"i wonder... did the person that i have in my mind right now, always thinking about me ?"

Rosmimi

To revive this blog again, i decided to re-post the blog post which i already have in friendster. Somehow i love to make myself look pathetic.

Yep...that's her name. The one i've been talking about in my previous posts. But this time..im not going to talk about her...im going to write this post as like as im talking TO her although i know the fact that the probability she reading this blog is less then 0.000001%. Anyways..this is all about a girl that 'touch' me, change the way i see thing & more importantly become my inspiration to finish my final year project. Our fate intertwined for one and a half year and then separated into their own way.

i still remember the day i first met you, 2 days before 2006 where me & my friends discovered that McDonald UTM Skudai which open 24 hours has already operational. So on that day we decided to go there to have a dinner and that where it all began. You were stationed at the leftmost counter there and i notice that you put too much makeup. *laugh* yeah...im my opinion, you put too much face powder. But at the same time i tried to peek at your name tag and say "Mimi". Heh...what a cute surname for a cute girl. Starting form that day, i always eat there every friday night not because im free from any homework on that day, it's because i know for sure that you're working night shift on friday & a guarantee that i will see you again there. That day was the only day i go there with the intention to eat.

So every time i go there, i intentionally line up at your counter just to make sure you're the one who taking my order. And for the apple pie?...the real reason i ordered it was i can talked to you more. Sound pretty lame isnt it? but at least it worked. After a while i started to notice that you recognized me when i go there and all the credits go to my friend that intentionally sit at a table near the "Staff of The Month" and yes..i do notice you looking at me at the kitchen area, leaning you back at the table while drinking. I keep wondering why in the world i like you so much. Then after a month, all the question were answered. I like to watch how you worked where you work like there's no tomorrow...quite a contrast compare to UTM student. I love see your dedication to work thus inspire me to study even harder. There's one day that you were out of breath but still managed to take my order very well..yes, im very impressed and began to fall in love with you. But to fall in love and cant tell you my own feeling is somewhat ridiculous for a guy.

On 30/05/07, the fateful day where i last eat dinner there. I nearly asked for you phone number but the question never come out from my mouth. It only stuck at my throat...maybe i was thinking too much because 2 days earlier my friend help me by asking your phone number from you little sister and the reply was "she lost her phonethe phone was lost". Every normal man should already know when that word come out it can only be 2 things. Whether you little sister tried to protect you or your phone really lost. Im sorry if i act like a coward. And starting from that day i left you behind for nearly 7 months. I never knew 7 month can change people alot.

Then, on 04/02/07 i came back to McD UTM Skudai and no...i didnt even surprise you wearing that blue attire. It REALLY suit you well...seriously, If you think i hate to see you wearing that attire. It's the opposite actually. Did you remember the fist time you set your hair loose when you in the orange attire?. yes, you look beautiful...the reason i didnt watch you so much is because im too afraid to look at you too much because i'll look like an idiot drooling while eating if i do that. A week after that i came again and this time i manage to get your full name from one of the brown attire girl after you went home. "Rosmimi"....what a wonderful name. You want to know what happen after i know your real name?,because im too excited i forgot to turn off my car light and my car battery wore out. Heh....funny isnt it?.

On 25/02/07, it was the last time i saw you there...but i didnt went and ate inside there..i just go to the drive-thru and saw you on my side mirror, sitting at the back of the building. Even until now i still go & eat at McD UTM Skudai while hoping you were there...but i guess it already too late. From time to time i stare at your picture at the noticeboard under the ads "Speak To Us" just to burn your image in my memory. Because if you really there, i'd to say "i love you" and more importantly "thank you for everything". I think the former one is no longer meaningful but i really want to say the latter one because you did touch my life..even for 1 and a half year and no one ever touch me the way you do.

People need to make sacrifice in life..and i choose to sacrifice my feeling toward you & choose my study for the sake of my family's hope. I got a good result but i lose you forever. Why did i do this?..i cant focus 2 things at once. That is my pure weakness and i hate it so much.

...But I don't blame anyone. The regret and suffering that remained after that last encounter were also what you had given me. They're among the precious few things you left behind.

And today is the day i will walk away from your life. Im sorry for being a coward and thank you for everything.

this is the end of the story...i look pathetic isnt it?
