Image via WikipediaI can hardly believe it – 1 year had passed since Fallout 3 was released, and I gave up trying to play Fallout 3 due to the numerous crashes I kept getting. At the time, the patch level for it was at 1.35.After finishing Dragon Age for the 4th time a couple of ...
Video games have indeed come a long way since the early days of Pong. With today’s gaming graphics card having more power than CGI workstations 5 years ago (and also DirectX10 and 11), characters are now looking more and more real.Of course it is inevitable the natural animal (and human) instincts start to rear their ...
FIRST POST!!Ok this will probably have nothing to do with games. After all, I’m still kinda playing Dragon Age. I’m on my 4th run-through with a 2-handed warrior now, and this time around I’m trying to get in bed with Leliana first, dump her, then hook up with Morrigan. Yeah I’m a playboy Anyway!My ...

Image via WikipediaOk, I know I have been neglecting this blog.Right after I discovered Jade Dynasty, and got engrossed in it for 5 months (to reach max level), I also got Operation Flashpoint – Dragon Rising as well as Dragon Age:Origins.Despite the “Dragon” words in the titles, the 2 games are vastly different. Operation Flashpoint ...
As luck would have it, just when I finally get my hands on Armed Assault 2 and planned to spend time making my own combat missions to play in it, I discover a new free-to-play MMORPG, called Jade Dynasty.As the name implies, it’s a Chinese-themed MMORPG. Don’t worry, the language used is English. However if ...
I just managed to get my hands on the new Armed Assault 2. Back in 2001, I remember being engrossed in what was probably the best military simulator, called Operation Flashpoint. Since then I’ve bought every single release from the makers, from the expansions up to Armed Assault, and now, Armed Assault 2.I must say, ...
If you stop and take a minute to think about it, there was a shitload of things happening last week. Most obvious, is of course, the death of Michael Jackson, and a lesser known death - Farrah Fawcett.Man, 2 of my childhood stars, dead. I'm gettin' old.Don't worry, this entry won't be talking about them. There's enough ruckus in the Internet about those 2.Instead, it's about …
Image via WikipediaI was amused this morning, when I came across this website. In summary, Microsoft is giving away money to get people to use Internet Explorer 8.Why amused? Because for all their dirty underhanded tactics, they are still losing ground. Back in 1995 when they first introduced Internet Explorer on Windows 95, the king of browsers back then was Netscape …
How did this post originate? Well there was a plurk thread here and then people were curious why I was so adamant about not supporting the particular bank mentioned.These are 2 long stories, so be prepared if you are kaypoh enough to want to know more.Bad Experience 1 - Standard Chartered BankYears ago, I was using Standard Chartered for personal credit as well as credit card …
Recently I have been testing out different burning software, and in the process I burnt a few video to DVDs, both as video files on a data disk, as well as making a DVD-Video disk playable in DVD players.What I have come to realise is that, there is a fundamental difference between the 2 formats - DVD+R and DVD-R, when it comes to producing a DVD-Video disk (those that you …
**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 …

Ok here's my take on the recent debacle over what our "Mother Tongue" is supposed to be.For anyone who still doesn't know, here's what was written in the newspapers:Foolish to advocate the …
During lunch hour today, I was just lazily surfing through the usual websites. One of them is Facebook.Due to habit, I click refresh to see the latest updates from my friends, on the Home Page. Lo and Behold, what do I see?Click to enlargeYes indeed, it seems that the former Facebook layout is coming back! However, right now it's kind of a hit-and-miss thing. Sometimes when I …
To recap, eversince I got my new ATI HD 4650, I have been re-playing old games just to get a “feel” of how much things might have improved.One of these is Call Of Duty 4. Previously on my old rig, the P4 3.0Ghz Hyperthreading (single core), I get respectable framerates (about 20+ FPS) with “medium” ...
Image via CrunchBaseFirst of all, let me just say that I don't normally "hang out" at Facebook. I visit it maybe 3 to 4 times a week, each visit probably lasting no more than 15 mins at most.Even so, I don't mind it so much when Facebook changed their homepages or layouts to "improve" things. In fact, when other people have been screaming blue murder about the latest changes, …
Yup I have been spending the past week just playing with my older games with my new toy - the ATI Radeon HD 4650 card.I’m just constantly amazed by how much I can push the graphic details up to, and still maintain great framerates. One game in particular, Assassin’s Creed, never cease to amaze me ...
Image via WikipediaAbout 6 months or so, circumstances forced me to upgrade my PC. Budegtary constraints meant I had to get a “value” or “budget” system. I got one with an integrated graphics chip, the ATI HD3200, which is probably one of the better boards at the time.6 months later, ie now, I have saved ...
