Sorry Ean, but..

Aside from all the studying I'll be doing (yes I'm taking summer), I've got no time for rpg... In fact, I much prefer the scarier titles:





So I ain't gonna join you... Sorry man.

Jeffrey is a FOOL!

Listen not to what he says, for Dragon Age: Origins is glorious... and hot. It is only when you go through all possible sex scenes and scenarios that you understand why Japanese people love teh 3D boobies and eroge, and why these foolish Westerners want in on a piece of it!

In all seriousness, Dragon Age has a great story and good gameplay, but getting a hand on the gameplay mechanisms are crucial. Don't know how to tank or crowd control? You're fucked! <-- Which is why my first play-through was on Normal and subsequent playthroughs (hey, a man has to see all them sex scenes eh!) were on Nightmare.

In conclusion, 3D titties and sex is hawt

What have you been up to?

What have I been up to?

I've been to Taiwan. I've enjoyed the food they have their, I ate cow stomach, and smelly tofu. Wonderful beef noodles with jellylike beef tendons.

I've oogled at pretty girls walking down the small side alleys in the winter rains, while enjoying a simple dish of 鲁肉饭. Wonderful shit.

I've crammed myself into the city train system during peak rush hours, and having random (occassionally female and pretty) strangers invade my personal space to a very intimate degree. and fortunately enough, seeing how we are all chinese, no one has bad body odour. Thank goodness.

Oh and I also noticed that Taiwan's racial breakdown can be described as such.

Chinese 98%
Europeans 1%ss
Others 1%

yeap thats right, hardly saw any Indians, let alone Arab-Persian hybrids.


What am I up to now?

Well literally straight after getting back from Taiwan, I dropped by the local ole'goode Malaysian shop of locally made goods and got m'self a copy of Dragon Age, Bioshock, Prototype and Spore (because I got to get a free CD, so I decided to get this and trade it for other games with another friend... a girl actually).

Dragon Age sadly ISNT as great as I expected. Seeing how everyone spoke so highly of it, I was slightly disappointed. But make no mistake, it deserves all that loving and cuddling a good game should. While not epic, it scores high in every category.

Now I'm not traditionally an RPG person. I've missed out alot on the typical RPG scene, having not played Diablo or Finale Fantasie (also known as Epic WetDream 5000). DA has left me at certain stages going for the Easy mode, because I gave m,y character the wrong talents, or I left mob control in the hands of my faithful dog whom I called Gilgamesh, but at the same time I call him/she/it "Rabbit".

At least now that I've patched it up to 1.02a, my main character (a rogue) can dish out proper amounts of damage, previously dex did not contribute to damage output for daggers, hence his ridiculously poor performance.

Overall how was DA? Voice acting wasnt too bad, I reckon all the characters (I've met so far) had good voice actors, with interesting characteristics and backgrounds. THOUGH occassionally my party becomes retarded and doesnt do what I tell them to do, I place the blame on me not using the controls properly, or not doing tactics properly. Music in the game isnt too bad.


Storyline doesnt feel as gripping as KoToR, but its not dull either. Maybe it's because in KoTOR, you have the good guy/ bad guy choice, while in DA, you're really just trying to get that Wilderness chick to like you so she may show off more sideboob and sleep with you (also so that she doesnt suddenly cast Frost Cone in the middle of a critical battle and leave you frozen, at the mercy of the enemy [bad tactics on my part] ).

Im sure Ean would have more to say on this.


But overall, DA is worth my time and soul, but I dont find it as addictive as KoTOR, maybe its because that was during Uni period, and hence classes made KoTOR alot more addictive...

mmmmm



anyway, time to kill some bloodspawn


*PS Ean, I once came across some big mob, in the Haven's place, inside the temple. Despite the change in music, and the size of that thing, it got frozen by a spell, and the first hit on it was a crit so it shattered instantly. Never got to find out how powerful was it. :(

Songs

Well, since I know that Sayed will only criticize me if I draw anything
else that doesn't have Courage the Cowardly Dog in it,
and since I can't really get anything Christmas-y without
instilling a bit of Sayed humour to taint it (proof Achmed below),
I guess I'm left with no choice but to post a few songs for you to listen to.

Since the internet is either too restricted with "site blocked" crap
in Bahrain, or too free with mp3 streaming sites just chock-full of viruses,
here's some war song videos for you to sink your teeth into.

Gortoz A Ran (J'Attends) (No, it's sung by an Aussie woman, not French)


Minstrel Boy



Sgt MacKenzie

Worth listening to if you're too lazy to slip that CD into your comp. <_<

Make posts, dammit!

Merry Christmas (For those of you who celebrate it <_< )

WARNING! EXTREMELY INSENSITIVE VIDEO COMING YOUR WAY!!!





I really hated the singing bit... :(

So...

I've been rooting for some change.
So I got myself a haircut.
Truth be told I look like Raj, only... bleached.

Annnnd I decided it was high time I refashioned my
wallpaper again.



Sooooo... whaddya think? :D

I'm drunk, what's YOUR excuse?!

Alas, despite my best efforts, those shovel-wielding boys with their brand new pickaxes prevailed.

I can't believe us demos LOST!!!
What the hell were you guys doing!!!

I can almost certainly blame Jeffrey for this!!!
Damn Soldier-loving pyromaniac.

Just a heads up: Australian Censorship Blacklist to be
implemented before next year's elections.

So Sayed, if you're used to the "Site Blocked" bullshit you
get in Bahrain, you won't have to adjust to much change here.

Lads, enjoy your free and wild internets while it's still around.
And Goddamit I'll never forgive you for letting the Soldiers win!

What I've been up to...

Bots are scary...

Do I have the worst wallpaper ever?

I like to call it "trying to find your mouse cursor.jpg" ...
