Image via WikipediaThe recent price increase by Singtel on landlines sparked off a wave of protest around my friends, and many bloggers. On the surface, if you look at it, the increase isn't really that much. Only 0.01 cent more per minute, and a total of $10 more per YEAR.And yet, people protest and grumble.I think, the problem isn't the amount of the increase. It's that …

**Warning - Long post ahead, and rather techie in some parts.**Ok I know how the title of this post must sound like, but trust me, this is not an advertisement for any of the products that I will mention later.One fine day, I just sat back and had a thought. This was kind of triggered by the fact that Vista now sprinkles "Burn to DVD" options liberally throughout their …
First of all, Fallout 3 must be the buggiest game I have ever played, and persisted to do so despite the numerous crashes. Most other games, I would have just uninstalled and left on the shelf.Yes it’s that good!Secondly, due to the numerous crashes everybody is having, progress is slow. Hence I’m still just at ...
Image via WikipediaI thought I was pretty up to date with Bioware stuff, but I guess I was wrong. The Witcher went completely under my radar and I never knew of the game till just a week ago or so. I was down at Sim Lim Square, getting more RAM for my new PC (oh ...
Disqus: Just discovered another great-looking commenting system for blogs. They also claim it could be used for non-blog sites too, to provide a “forum”.I am going to attempt to integrate …
Well after a few days of deciding, I guess I've decided to stay with Blogger platform. Losing all your comments is a little too much.Besides, since I have decided to stay with blogger, I'm still looking out for a nice template to redo this blog, but in the meantime, there's really nothing much to write simply because:I'm still the same weightthe home-made versa-stick is still …
Ok people who know me, know that I generally don't bother about 2 things - politics and religion. One, I have no interest in. The other, I don't believe in. Let's not get into those, eh?Now, recently, 2 ministers made public statements and actually prompted me to write something here on them. Now, let me just say, generally I have no problem with the government of Singapore. …
Recently I was "foreceably removed" from a video sharing site, Vimeo. The crime? Nothing more than "uploading gameplay videos". They didn't care that I had non-gameplay videos too on the account.What that taught me was that I should never stick to just 1 site to host my videos. I had to slowly, and painfully, re-upload all my videos to a new site. Upload speed, as you know, …
You know, sometimes there are no good games released for a while, and you’re stuck playing the older games which you’ve got.Then there are other times like these, where a few good titles are released within the span of a few days from each other. Far Cry 2, Dead Space, and Fallout 3 have all ...
... realised I still suck at it :pI remember the first time I came to know about this game called Need For Speed. I forgot how long ago it was, but it's definitely more than 10 years ago. Perhaps about 1986 or so. I remember the game came on a 5.25 inch floppy disk (360K capacity), and after installing it, we marvelled at how great the CGA, 4-colour graphics were at 320x240 …

The Chinese have a saying - "The Forbidden Fruit Is Sweeter".They probably got it right, and thousands of years ago too.I guess it's just human nature that we desire what we cannot obtain. Ok enough metaphors and philosophy. Time to get down to it.First of all, I'm not a "clubber", not now anyway. I used to be, years ago. Now, I chill and relax at pubs.When I tell people I go …
Yeah yeah I know I’m really late. Bioshock was released almost a year ago. They have even removed the install limit back in June!Now I’m only just starting to get into it.The reason why I stopped Bioshock last year, was that there was a slew of games released at the time - COD4, Crysis, Bioshock ...
Time really flies.It's been 7 years since the world changed. I remember that back on 11th Sept 2001, the fateful day, I was writing on my (then) soapbox, complaining about something. That was like 9am in the morning, Singapore time.I remember that I got home from work, went online and played Neverwinter Nights with my buddies from USA, Australia, Spain and Netherlands. I …
Being sick sucks. It totally screws up my internal body clock for example. I've been sleeping the whole day, and now, right in the middle of the night, I wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.So I take my meds, and wait for them to kick in and make me go to sleep again. In the meantime, I fired up COD4 and thought I'd record mission 1. Note that I used FRAPS and it DOES impact …
OK So what? Back in November, I was among the first few to get Call of Duty 4 from the shops. Being the generous guy that I was, I thought I'd do a couple of video captures and show people who were still waiting to buy the game, what it looks like, as well as writing a blog post on my impressions on it. After all, we've all played the demo. Sometimes, the actual retail …
Many of us, at one time or another, must have come across free online games websites. I worked (current "in-between jobs") in the IT industry, and believe me, I have seen my share of "illegal" online games clients installed on company PCs. Well it's "illegal" in the sense that games aren't "company approved" software and hence, shouldn't be installed.(As a quick aside, yes us …
Image by SL-INC (AKA: Scott) via FlickrEversince my old PC died, and I got a new AMD system, I’ve still been playing old games which I already have. Most of the time I’m just comparing and marvelling at how this “budget PC” is on-par or outperforming my now-dead “top of the line” gaming PC back ...
First things first - things haven't been going so well for me lately. Yeah, I got sick, AGAIN! This time it wasn't even my fault! All I did was just to go out to the local computer super-store, aka "Sim Lim Square" for just three hours, and a flu bug hit me hard. I was literally down for 3 straight days, only getting up to drink water or go to the toilet. All other …
