Life's A B!tch

or at least Donald Trump said so. You wont believed how stupid people is nowdays. There's someone contacted me, someone i know and tell me "We can settle the money thingy by invest in stock". Please, get back money in 10 days?...what if the stock suddenly dropped ?. Dont treat me like a primary school kid even though i know a little about stock but i know the risk involved in there. My colleague already lost nearly 5000 bucks by doing the same thing. Yes, 5000 is consider small but it a big amount for an average people like me in which to get the same amount, we need to save up nearly a year.

so my advised to that 'someone', if you want to do it...you use your own money, if you did get double or triple..pay your debt back to me

New Additions This Month

Two new PS3 games were added to my library. And those two are Call of Duty 4 & Unreal Tournament 3.

Another two (hopefully can get 2 or else stick with 1 first) will come at the end this month. It's Burnout Paradise & Devil May Cry 4.


It seem that I'll be pretty busy in weekend for February.

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

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
