L.S.D

I just had a big argument with my gf. Bad weekend for me.....

hell, i just complete the so-called nudity section. 1st, the scene is quite cheesy. Kissing then the bed scene with some ass view and not so obvious boobies view. Big flocking deal. i can see more on TV. The way they do it, it is just like any other movie out there that feature some nudity. And they are afraid to corrupt some innocent mind? Big deal, our innocent minds are already corrupted long time ago. Try this game out. Despite some hiccups and not-so-great battle gameplay, the story alone is superb. Worth the epic and i can't wait for the 2nd of the trilogy. On my 2nd playthrough using a girl now.

welcome to all......

As much as I want to say Half Life as the best FPS, Doom is still the best series IMO. Wolfenstein 3D by id is very exciting for an FPS but Doom is revolutionary, addicting and fun with variety of monsters to frag at. Half Life improves on the storyline and the interaction with the environment etc. Still love the series too.

No F5??

Why direct the rage towards someone that don't even know about it? You are wasting your rage. Do what I do; go beat the crap out of someone on a fighting game that will release your rage Honestly, as I said, don't dwell in the past but look at the present and future.

Agreed with BK. Furthermore, I have had enough news of celebrities making an ass of themselves. Unless some foul play are confirmed here, i would not take any interests on this news.

Axl, not a bad advice. i would say this is a "diplomatic" solution and ensuring a "we will be friends forever" outcome if things didn;t work out as planned.

i would to. but no news on anyone working on CP3

Bought Gundam Musou. But still playing Mass Effect

Mass Effect. Finally unlocked the "romantic" scene

umm...yeah. Moved on

Wow. Never know that i would be the cause of BK's woes. Anyway..... 1. I would say the girl is having issue no. 1. Scratch the sinister part. I would say he might be flirting and enjoying the attention of his boyfriend and yours. Also, moving out at this point is not advisable yet for you. You just started a job. Unless you are moving near to your work AND you plan to work in that job for long, I would say scratch that too. Also, moving in with a girl can be really troublesome if you are not prepared. I am going steady with my current girlfriend and still we have many big arguments when she moved in recently. If it is not for our steadier relationship over the years, we would have broken off by now. It is not trivial matter to co-habit. 2. My suggestion is to take all this in the stride. Stay at your house now for time being. Enjoy the time you have on your own and give her some space. If she is truly serious, you will see the sign. Just don't rush headlong into a relationship when she is still trying to get out of one. I would prefer to find someone with no baggages attached but that is just me. Good luck BK.

I'm not a fan of Stallone's movies. So, i think I'll give it a miss. I only enjoy one Stallone's movie, which is Demolition Man and it is due to Wesley Snipes. I'll give this a miss and wait for a pirated DVD

A new Xbox Elite + an exhaust fan to suck out the heat from the console = long playing time for me.

I have good news and bad news. Good news: i have discussed with my gf (who is living with me now) and we have decided to get an internet by next month. Decided not to wait for our new house to be fully renovated. So, i can resume my internet activities soon. Bad news: Just received news from my local pirates that Microsoft managed to block the latest software that allowed you to play pirated games. So, online on Xbox Live! is a no-no for me still. oh well, at least I can come back here sooner than expected Signing off

I am proud to write about games I loved....or games I hated

i agree with what he does. Sometimes the criminal system is not adequate

Lol, didn't expect you, of all people to disagree with me. Maybe I'm not observant enough to detect any ugly textures or something

Game: Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles System: PSP To be honest, I have never completed a Castlevania game before. The PS2 was a shamble, I was only one or two levels through before deciding not to play that 3D crap anymore. And I find that I can't get used to those on GBA and DS too. So, when konami releasing news about this game, with emphasis on the old school system before those Metroidvania versions, my interest was piqued. For the uninformed, this game is a remake of an old PC-Engine Castlevania game, Rondo of Blood. It is said that Rondo Of Blood (ROB) is the defining game in the series where a lot of the animations are used in future upcoming Castlevania series. It is also from this storyline where the much raved about Symphony of The Night (SOTN) continue the story from. In this PSP UMD, we have the remake version with enhanced graphics,the original ROB which has not been released outside of US and in other format AND the acclaimed PSX's Symphony of the Night. 3 in 1, not bad eh? This review will mostly concentrate on the remake version with mentions to original ROB and SOTN. Graphics: Look at the level of details on the screen! Wow! Right off the bat, the enhanced graphics is really, really great on the eyes. All the graphics are in 3D, and yet the gameplay still retain the 2D feel to it. You can call it 2.5D if you want but the 3D graphics on this game is simply amazing. A lot of hardwork and details are put into each levels. You could call it a work of love and art. I recalled reading an interview with Iga on the making of this game. he has stated that he has taken great stride not to smear the good name of ROB and he would not give out a half-assed effort. You can easily seen it in this game. All the characters' models are finely detailed. Even Dracula look really, really great and opening CG is beautiful and at PS2 standard. PSP has seen an amazing numbers of remakes with enhanced graphics (Megaman X, Megaman Powered up etc) but this game give out the best graphics seen. The short cutscenes before boss battles and some areas are also looking great. The original ROB's graphics are slightly dated but that doesn't mean they are not beautiful. It is a major accomplishment 14 yrs ago. Heck, even compared to SOTN, original ROB still managed to win SOTN in some levels. It is that good. Graphics: 10/10 Controls: You'll see this kind of cutscenes from time to time You have your standard jump, whip, special attack buttons. Tapping the jump button another time will cause a backflip (or double jump in one of the extra characters). D-pad is used for controls or you can opt for analog stick, which is highly NOT recommended. The controls are so old school like with the need of pressing up when trying to jump up to a stair. if you forget that, you might find that you are not steeping unto the stairs and down to your doom in some cases. Slightly annoying but not game breaking. Will take some time to get used to. Controls: 8/10 Sound: The music in this game is a beauty. The bgm has been remixed from the original ROB with astounding result. Even the original version has its own beauty and SOTN's bgm has always been a favourite among the fans. THe sound effects of the game are also beautifully rendered and appropriate in most cases. However, the voice acting leave a lot to be desired. SOme of the voice acting is really good (like the Dracula's voice acting; majestic and yet sinister at the same time) but some are just downright atricious. Richter's voice sound like a 19 yrs old boy. One minute he sound all manly and tough and the next second he sounds like a whiny snotty nosed brat. Same goes for Maria with the high pitched voice. Really get on the nerves. Sound: 7/10 (would have get higher if not for the bad voice acting) Gameplay: That's what you get for trying to pull my nose ring! Now we come to the meat of the game. Remember the platform games where we used to play back in the NES or SNES days where you will battle through the level and rewarded with a boss fight at the end of the level? This game is exactly that. Instead of leveling up and giving you the chance to explore the premises ala Metroid Prime (HENCE the term metroidvania/castleroid) in the recent Castlevania series, this game hack back to those old action platform style but with branching levels. You get to battle a boss at the end of each levels and if you managed to found some secret access, you get to battle a different boss in the same level and taking a different route from the normal. The game however retains its difficulty it is famous of. The jump can be very risky at some areas and you will find that you are likely to fall into death instead of to the below level in safety like recent Castlevanias. This is the main grip of most Castlevania fans. This game is about skills. heck even trying to hit those moving bats take skills as their flight patterns are unorthodox. This game forces you to use the limited arsenals that you have at your disposal; your whip, your special items (which is limited) and your backflip. A mastery on the skills available will ensure an easier walkthrough the remaked version. however, players will find that the original ROB is much more HARDER compared to the remaked version with higher speed and the tight timing. I am still stuck with beating Dracula just because I can't avoid his jump in the 2nd form. The timing is much much tighter and leave no room for errors. The game also contain an extra hidden character which you must find during the game. Using Maria to play is easier as she HAS the double jump! No more falling into your doom at most places! Also, Maria is faster and her special attack is much stronger. Exploring the levels will help you find hidden discs contain musics for the games and also the original ROB and SOTN. Yes, these two games are not available from the start much to the chagrin of some people. my advice to them is to play the remaked version to truly appreciate the work of art and love that the developers have put in. In addition to the extra two games, there is also a boss rush mode where you rush to beat all the bosses under a certain time to unlock some bonus musics and also a certain mini-game that is in original ROB. Yes, this game will last you for quite some time indeed. Gameplay: 8/10 (old school gameplay not for everyone) Conclusion: Graphics: 10/10 Controls: 8/10 Sound : 7/10 Gameplay: 8/10 Overall: 8.25/10 With 3 games in 1 UMD, this is a really good bargain to begin with. The remaked version is already a game in itself. Coupled with the original version which can be also considered a full game in itself with harder difficulty and the complete SOTN without any glitches at all, this is a must to all Castlevanias fans and platfomers alike.

NO. Even if it is a joke, i still wouldn't like to see photoshopped version of mine in various compromising positions.

But her scenario seems to be worse. I have seen some bullying at work but this seems to be harrassment at a higher degrees. Maybe if you can work out a case, just sue them. Get some legal advices and see whether the option is viable or not.

Yeah, now i have to really stay sharp during work now Trivias help to relax me and give me chance to procrastinate between jobs. It will all be distant memories soon

Plot, you look great, look like London is a place to be I hope to go there to watch a football match.

Back for a while. Currently connected at a relative's home. I will be able to post until Tuesday due to being outstation, but still not as regularly. I already miss here And i wouldn't try using proxy. Don't want to mess with my career. Not easy to find a good paying job.
