Work & Apologies

Got back from work real late today, about close to 10 or so. Really pressed for time as the high ups need to check on it b4 the results go out this Thursday. Top that off with some stupid factless news in the Star and you've a hell of a day. Will need to go in early tomorrow as well, and with my sleeping problems its going to be another longgg day... Bottomline is, I shouldn't be able to get any games done this week. But knowing me, I think I'll be finishing one real soon.

I need to apologise for any wrong I've done to the people I love and who support me in my everyday life, I know you deserve more from me but I can't help it. People can't help hurting other people in the process, its just the way life is. And when you get someone like me who can't stand hurting others, well, there's only one way it can go. Sorry.

Matrix: Path of Neo & Emails

Finished replaying Matrix: Path of Neo and realised how buggy and imperfect the character modelling in the game is. Gameplay is actually quite mundane despite the cool factor of fighting as Neo. I prefer the Matrix 1 levels compared to the rest, its more challenging and doesn't take the piss out of the series. No real game here, more like a run through an interactive movie. 4/10.

I got an email today. I didn't really have the heart to respond to it but for the sake of appeareances, I did. It got me thinking though; if I can hardly reply to the email, what would I feel when we actually meet face-to-face? I know two ways it could go down and neither of them are pleasant. Either way I'm going to come out hurting and its mostly likely going to be me and me alone. Its hardly fair.

I Never Saw Another Naked Intern That Yawned

Lack of sleep is killing me slowly. Maybe the yellow dog can help me. Also there's that piece of meat I want to beat up. But if I cook it slowly after that, it will be tender. Oh how sweet will be the meat when eaten with wheat. Wheat and sheep and ore gives you Monopolies by the way. Paladins need monopolies coz the man in the top hat and the big white moustache will send Mayfair and Parklane after you. That's like $750 worth of assets coming your way... surprise, cockface!

Incredible nightly sex always never interested the yuppie over, lets talk games. I have many to complete, 2 being co-op ones but with the lack of ppl actually capable of playing it, I wonder deeply why I even bought it. Ah well. I'm talking about Gears of War2 and Kane and Lynch. Currently getting down to finishing Far Cry 2 and Matrix path of neo, tomb raider: underworld is next up. Also going to try and get FEAR 2 outta the way once my friend ships it in this Wednesday.

The beginning of the end is the longest bit :(

Mirror's Edge & Chinese New Year

The focus on interaction in this "First Person Action Adventure" makes this game different from all the regular BAM BAM u daed games out there. Basically you're doing a Neo running from the agents in the Matrix except its mostly over rooftops and you're a chinese chick. Its pretty intense at times and the visuals and graphic theme is great. 8/10.

Chinese New Year has just officially ended today. Had the last gambling session of the night at my place, playing poker with the guys. My first CNY back home after 4 years or so (the rest was spent in the UK)... well half of it at least. Didn't get much angpao but its alright I'm used to it anyway. Somehow I have this feeling that this year isn't going great, what with the string of bad occurences happening to me lately. Happy Chinese New Year!

The Darkness & Markus

Comic book adaptation, FPS, weird ass gloomy gothic violent brutal powers. What more can you want? The game isn't difficult really if you play your cards right, even on Hard. Storyline starts off intense but tapers off towards the end. Graphic detail and lighting is good though. 7/10.

I was sad when I heard Markus passed away, but not surprised some how. Its always the good fellas who get the shit after all. And Markus was one of the best. I never met someone so passionate and devoted to saving his country and his people. I wish I had known you more, I took your life for granted. Rest in peace in heaven my good man, you know you deserve it.

Flash games & London

Finished some flash games recently. Their pretty good to pass the time and some of them are quite interesting. They only last for like at most 2-3 hours so finished quite a couple in my spare time. Can't really give a collective score but the ones I played were pretty good, from Armor Games. Check them out.

Been in London for over a week now, mainly to spend time with my sister for Chinese New Year. Also managed to hang out with my London mates over here. We had a blast doing all the stuff we normally do. Made me feel like I was in uni and young again haha. Leaving for Malaysia tomorrow, and not a day too soon. Its getting really really chilly over here, what with the Russian winds blowing into UK. Brr.
