Bonus

Once, when I was about 6 years old, back in Singapore, I walked past this man who was talking to his teenage son about his job. The man said to his son, "Work hard and you'll get bonuses!" I remember thinking "LOL WAT AN IDIOT! BONUSES ARE ONLY IN GAMES FUFUFU!"

Clearly played too much Golden Axe.

DAMN GAMES!! Reviews and my long absence.

If you've noticed my long absence (which you clearly have) and were missing me dearly (as you sorely were) then I suggest you let out all your pain at my not posting on the satan that is video games. Maybe my parents were slightly, ummm (DARE I SAY IT??) intelligent (GAH!) in not allowing us to buy a console for so many years.

We have way too many games now. It's NOT HEALTHY.

Here's a close-up of all the games we have.

It's just WAY too easy to turn on the devil box, stick in a CD and off you go, without having to worry about drivers and video settings and all those sorts of PC things. Consoles are SO amazing. I saw some of the hi-def graphics on my friend's Sony Bravia TV and it was TEH COOLEST. It's nice that we're all legit now and now buying pirated games and whatever. That always made me feel a bit meh.

XBOX-360

TEH COVENANT HATH BEEN BROKKENS.

(Middle one btw. FUFUFU.)

We've had this thing in our family where gaming consoles used to be COMPLETELY UTTERLY forbidden (the gaming "covenant") and how we didn't need one cos we have millions of computers. Anytime it was brought up someone would just pipe out, "A computer can do everything a [insert console] can do, and MORE!"

UNTIL NOW.

Who would have thought I'd but up at 3 am playing DOA-4 killing ppls with Ayane like the good old days at my uncle's house. Except now we own the console. HAHA. It's so weird! We bought a few million games, so expensive, thought of flashing the xbox but thought nah and then played for another 5 hours.

Big W's all over NSW had this weird toy clearance sale and cut the prices of everything like crazy so the cheapos bargain vultures we are dived in and bought 4 controllers (wireless controllers are so amazing!) billion games and a 20gb hard drive.

Fun times!

On another note, I really need to update my sidebar. Hmmm...

HUMP ME OH DARK LORD!!

STARCRAFT: Commentary on an Addiction

HELP! I am totally, absolutely, utterly addicted to Starcraft. Yes, that old game you used to play when you were 15 back in 1998. It is a testament to the amazing game-making skills of Blizzard that huge numbers of people are still playing their games (their main franchises of Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo) a decade on, totally unchanged.

OMG today I played for hours and hours. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just me, and my mum would only be a bit nuts, but its me and both my brothers as well playing multiplayer free-for-all LAN games. LOL! Hogging all the computers for hours and driving everyone nuts is too easy when it's so much fun!! I think my mum is gonna kill us soon.

Here's a screenshot from a game when I totally gave up and my eldest brother took his sweet freakin' time killing me. Noob. *LOL*:


I always use Zerg. They're kinda gross if you're not used to it, all slimy and pulsating and infesting other things. It's funny how my favourite unit is called the Queen. L-O-L. Fun times! Now I can't wait for Starcraft 2 to come out...
