Two Times In!

I watched Law Abiding Citizen awhile back(I think it was yesterday, but last night my memory got wiped). It's an ok movie. Really. I mean, I wouldn't say it's a big budget blockbuster that's over publicized and advertised (like Dark Knight, Transformers, etc). But for an average sorta movie it really stands out. Well I'm glad Gerard Butler finally learned to not speak like a Scottish bastard.

Anywhossel, in a silly shopping spree, I wasted 36 bucks on 6 Dvds worth of Xbox games.

I bought the English version of Halo 3 : ODST(the first version was in French). For some reason the game comes with 2 dvds.

Also got Forza Motorsport 3 because of all the advertisements. Pretty disappointed. It's also 2 dvds. For a racing game, it's a failure, but for a racing simulator, it's pretty solid. Everything from real time individual tyre pressure and temperature can be monitored while racing. But the races themselves are downright boring, with uninspiring techno racing music and weak effects. I would rather play GRID or DIRT 2 any day.

Dragon Age : Origins was also bought. 1 dvd. But it's not working so fuck that game.


But the real meat was in this unassuming game:

Borderlands is a fucking beyond awesome game. I haven't even tapped into its multiplayer experience yet(guys, its playable on Garena, we should try this out if Modern Warfare 2 never gets out in pirated form). The singleplayer is a blend of Role Playing and FPS. Imagine the satisfaction of firing a gun of COD4 and the gigantic explorable, lootable world of Fallout 3. That's basically what Borderlands is about.

There are HUNDREDS of different weapons that not only feel different, but look unique and have varied stats and abilities. Unlike Fallout 3, the combat system is very first person shooter oriented. It's hard to explain, but all I have to say is if you've got nothing to do during the holidays, get this game. If enough people get it for PC, we can even play through missions together online!


Borderlands was so good that I had to find some way of playing it in my room(my xbox has been alternating between the upstairs and downstairs TV because my amp is dead, so there's no sound). I decided to just transplant the HIFI set (with a built in amplifier) to my table upstairs.


I know what you're thinking. Yes, that is a cassette deck on the HIFI set. It's old. Like 15 years old. But it delivers much more oomf from the speakers than the Audiolab amplifier ever could. Which is amazing.

Oh and I found two rats in the trap downstairs. Dumb rodents fell for the banana.

Don't worry, they will stand fair trial in the court of law tomorrow. My dad is prosecuting them on the grounds of trespassing property or something.



Oh, and there has been epic progress on my little tank and troops. Click this to see some pics. The picture of the tank is not up to date, I just resprayed it green.


Oh my gawd. Today's the first day of the week that I've managed to avoid checking if Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is out. On Saturday night I check HP(dunno why though, I was aware that it was only going to be released on the 10th), Sunday, checked Pelangi, Monday, checked HP again(seriously, the more trailers you watch, the more you NEED to play it), and Tuesday me and Ian checked City Square and HP. I know. I'm nuts. Gonna check again tomorrow! I may even buy the original version. When cicaks fly...


lols..



cicaks..




flying...



wait a minute... wtf







Seriously, not even photoshoped, I saw this gigantic flying cicak in the sky. It was really creepy. Just floating by slowly.


That was a lie.


It was actually just plastered onto the car window.
