Voices and pictures


Restoran Son Mee. Everyone's been there. But no one reads the fine print on the paper towels.
'Gentel'. Even if they accidentally missed the 'i' between 'n' and 't', it's still misspelt.

An abandoned project in Malacca. I went there on Sunday for lunch.

The work of a master. Squidward made of tack it.

Ragdoll physics at it's worst, this is the dog that I never talk about. Obscene.

The dog that stuck his head into some bougainvilleas last week. He's healing up. Today he bit the plumber in the butt. Yeah...
Yesterday was a day of voices. Mainly voices in my head.
I traded my k750i Sony Ericsson for a Nokia 3210.
Reason: I am too distracted by the ability to take pics, vids, listen to music, see colour on a mobile phone.

The trade lasted about 5 hours. It was like buying stock; you know your just gonna lose all your money, but investing your money just may be that small boost everyone's been waiting for. But just before the crash comes, you sell it all and scream "I regret nothing!"

Yeah, I don't know why I just used that situation to relate mine.

It was also my dads birthday anniversary yesterday.
Don't you mean birthday?
No, according to him, it was his birthday on the 27th October 1951.
Every 27th October that follows is simply a birthday anniversary.
Makes sense doesn't it?

Thanks to Jackson, I got hold on a copy of Brothers in Arms : Hell's Highway. An awesome World War 2 experience that lacks the gameplay elements that other shooters have. But makes up for it with really a good story presentation and fictional characters that feel real. Several big issues though are
1)Heavy reliance on the player being familiar with the previous Brothers in Arms games

2)Easily exploitable gameplay that made a 10 hour game last less than 6 for me.

3)Patchy graphics that rely heavily on shaders mixed in with a few ugly textures spoils the experience.

4) Guns lack the 'punch'. This is something inexcusable, yet most games nowadays don't give the real satisfaction of shooting. Games like Company of Heroes, and Call Of Duty 4 make guns and gun damage seem real. Recoil, damage to individual parts of the body, or structure and weapon animation are an issues rarely addressed by developers.

This game gets a 3/5

Tonight, I will hopefully be testing out Far Cry 2.
Wish me luck.

Sorry, I was interrupted.
Far Cry 2 *cyclic redundancy error*.
In case you're wondering, that actually means
"The CD you bought is f**cked up beyond repair",

You are about to witness the genius and retard, that is Subhash, using his skill.
Step 1: ignore the fact that SPM is 14 days away
Step 2: copy corrupted folder using secret methods into a empty DVD
Step 3: Copy that into a folder onto the harddrive along with installation.
Step 4: Install through hard drive.

yeah. now let's see if this works.
If it does, i'll be back on this blog in a few hours.
