Recently got my Wii, all i can say is, this console is no match to Microsoft Xbox 360 or Sony PS3. Visual wise, it is as good as a Sony PS2.5 graphic. But do not look down at this little box, it has something that can out shine both console "Ferraris", which is the control that wins them.
Although PS3 offer motion sensor gamepad, but non come as close or as fun as Wii's Nunchuk and Wiimote. The pair of remote controllers really can make you engross into the game or can also drive you nuts with it's motion sensor. Interation with your games has never come closer than Wii, you get to move your entire body on certain games, not just buttoms mashing with your thumbs, which add in a whole new level of dimension for game interations.
Wii's design is a class, it continue the classic Nintendo's boxy design. Which make it feel much like a fun looking console compare to the serious looking Xbox 360 or PS3. The Wiimote is kinda small for people who has big palms, and it's design is not ergonomics, i got bruises on my fingers when i play Sonic and the Secret Rings, i also received strained arm when playing tennis game on Wii Sports (i thought i was Roger Federer).
Right now, Wii may not look as promising as most will think. But it's a must to have family console for any casual players. The motion sensor control rule!!
It may look small from the outside, but it's really heavy..
Wii woo Wii.. @_@

My goodness, this week im so addicted to the survival first-person shooter game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Basically, the game is all about the aftermath of the second nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the near future, which causes strange changes in the area around it. You play as the character, Mark One, which has temporary lost his memory after a truck crashes accident. The story continues when you were found by the Lone Stalker and blah blah blah..
The game offer a huge zone for you to explore, but it is too big till you find it irritating when you need to cross across the zone to complete your mission. It also kinda lack of fear factor when you are around the zone. During the night, you do not feel the total darkness and the need to survive, you can simply bring the character to a saver zone, sit back and relax till the day pops and continue your mission. But when playing in the sewage or underground complex, it has an eerie atmosphere which make you fear for your character's life.
Few things i like about the game is the NPCs communicate with one another in russian, and the vast varies of russian weapons and the use of "realistic" bullet physics. Which make it a more realistic shooter game. All in all, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl feels right and it is definately an unique survival shooter game.

Yes, this game offers Russian Weapons. @_@

Well, well, well.. The very first thing i bought for my new laptop is Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, lolx. But sad thing is, i was unable to get my C&C3: Kane edition which comes with extra contents. I remember when i was 10 years old, i played the first C&C like there was no tomorrow, and now im still doing the same with C&C3. =P
Basically, you play as two factions in the campaign mode, the United Nations Global Defense Initiative or for short UNGDI, commonly known as GDI. And the evil Brotherhood of Nod or simply call them NOD. Campaign is somehow the same as all the past series where you have to fight across the world for freedom as GDI does that, or help the evil master, Kane, fight for world domination. The game also welcome a new alien faction known as Scrin, who came in during the latter stage of the campaign.
There are many famous actors like Billy Dee Williams (played in the Starwars series) and one of my favourite classic characters Kane is back in action. I somehow attracted by Grace Park who act as GDI Lt. Sandra Telfair, maybe because of her role in Battlestar Galactica as Number Eight. =x
The game looks good with the enhanced version of the SAGE engine which powered both Command & Conquer: Generals series and The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth series, so fans from these game series will feel familiar with C&C3. As for the gameplay, it feels ok, but somehow kinda lack of units, I believe the developer has plan for the release of expansion pack soon, so no worries for that. The game has some glitches, but after all it doesn't affect much of the overall gameplay.
Kane, one of my favourite villian.

You have heard of Movies banned in Singapore for gore, violent and sexual scenes in it. But this short documentary film done by a Singaporean was banned by Singapore government. Why?
<< Singapore Rebel >> by Martyn See.
I kinda respect Dr. Chee Soon Juan although he has been portray by the media as the "Evil Genius" behind all the anti-government movements. I admire his courage where he stood up for what he believes, where most of us, including me do not dare to attempt.
Im on the neutral political party. As long as any political party able to make Singapore peace and harmony (this has been long achived using strict laws), generate more wealth for the masses, my parents and family have jobs and and every individual has a pay increment of 25% (opps, erase my last part), that will be good enough. But i still believe the freedom of speech in Singapore still can be improve.
*I have attended PAP kindergarten before, so im on your side government. Please don't law sue me for posting SDP's stuff.*

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." -- V

Today im quite "du lan" by some people. There people who are so free that they wanna know me inside out, like which course i went, what poly am i attending. Is that nesseccery?
Then on the other side, there are people who are just manipulate on others to their advantage, or when they are feeling good, they will come for you like you are their life time partner. But when they are not in mood, you can fuck off cause this people don't bother your life and death. This people deserve to die yet they live longer than others, and they are not affected by their cause. So what for being nice and friendly but by the end of the day, you die first.
My gentle reminder to any humanoid out there, live for yourself.

Who dare to say Singapore do not have any great directors. Directors no need to make any big block buster movie, all they need is to bring up their message to the masses, and this fellow did it with his Nokia N93.
The original TV Ad.
The Local Version TV Ad.
Man, he should win the Nokia Film Award for this year.

Seriously, i felt that the world is becoming more and more sick. First is the Bonsai Kitten hoax, now is the Dream Chicken.
The Dream Chicken.
People love keeping little animals is because we get to interate with them, play with them, and it teaches us how to be more responsible for life, be it yours anot. Now toy company are doing this sick little robotic animal for kids and people who doesn't have time for real counterparts to keep and play with. The thing is, people will tend to play with it for few days then they throw away once they grew tired of playing it, not because you know they aren't real, you can heck care about it's live and death, the toy just make us to be more irresponsible in taking care of animals.
This toy show the wrong message for people to keep little animals, and no matter how realistic the toy can be, it can never replace a real animal with emotions.

Dad came back from Japan with lots of confections, all taste very good, and the packaging also look cute.
Sad news is, dad said Wii is currently out of stock in Japan, the store owner told him to get back 3 months later to get Wii from him, my goodness it seem that Wii is winning the console war.
I also got to see Sakura flowers, sad to say nothing really special about the flower, very small in size and not nice to smell at all. But the pink is really beautiful, very romantic.

For any PC gamers, when you tell them about Far Cry, the game. The first thing they will say is not the game play itself but rather the game engine. Far Cry was developed and release in 2004, which shocked the gaming industry with it's high level technology game engine called CryENGINE.
And now it's developer, Crytek, came out with a new game called Crysis using the CryENGINE2. The new engine uses the DirectX 10 and improve lighting and advanced rendering and interation system for vegetation. The result, photorealistic graphic display.
