Ok this post is just for fun.On a whim, I ran a screenshot of my female Commander Shepard from Mass Effect 2 through the MyHeritage.com celebrity lookalike locator. The result is below:My …
I was reading this article over at Channelnewsasia.com - Work-Life Balance, and I had a thought."Isn't it obvious?"Ok I am not claiming to b a model employee, far from it. However I do have a personal policy - don't stay and do "overtime" when you don't need to. And when I do leave the office, I do not even think about work. Work can wait. Once I am out of the office, work is …
Anybody who has been blogging for more than a few weeks will have heard of "Feedblitz". If you haven't, then it's time for you to head on over there.If you don't know what RSS is, in a nutshell it's a consolidation of blog entries in a simplified format, so that you can use a reader to read it instead of visiting every blog you like to read the latest entries. All you need to …
I'm sure you, like many people, have friends on IM platforms, be it MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ or whatever. And, I'm sure not all of them are (conveniently) on the same platform. You'd have some on MSN, some on AIM etc. It wasn't till very recently that the 2 largest IM networks, MSN and Yahoo, decided to finally "work together" and allow their users to cross-talk to each other, …
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 by galant via FlickrOnce again, I come here and say the same thing - don't "go on a diet", especially not a "eat less" one. I've already covered why not, so just search for my previous entries for "eat less" and you should get a couple of posts on it.I came across this website here, called Diet Recipes. I thought it's great because on every recipe that it presents to …
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, …
Image via Wikipedia I did get Spore for a trial run. I don’t like these kind of games so it was promptly uninstalled and deleted, and quickly forgotten.It was with amusement that I came across this article here. It talks about the bane of all games - anti-piracy protection. I have mentioned this over and ...
... everything's quiet on the western front.Not a mouse peeped.Not a cat leaped.And the atmosphere feels strained.It's kinda like a wake. You know, where everyone knows what everyone else is thinking, but nobody's saying anything. To be polite, to attempt to move on.I logged into Plurk today, after so many weeks of not logging into it. Why? Well many of the regular people …
Image via WikipediaFirst off, yeah sorry I haven’t written in a while. I haven’t really gotten any new games lately, and I also haven’t been playing any of my older ones. Well, Fallout 3 still refuse to work, and I haven’t had time to actually go hunt for patches.I’ve also been recently engrossed in watching ...
Mention the word "diet" to most people, and you can literally see them cringe. "Diet" seems to be such a bad word that must not be uttered to people who are losing weight.General perception is that, when you're "on a diet", you have to eat very little, you cannot eat this, cannot eat that etc. In other words, when "on a diet", they are deprived of the things they love. I call …
Image via WikipediaOne of the more hotly anticipated games to arrive for the PC is probably Mass Effect. Just like Jade Empire, ME was released for the Xbox first before being ported across to the PC.And they're arriving in six days, 28 May 2008!The makers are of course, Bioware. Recognised everywhere as one of the best RPG game companies, Bioware has prodouced many hit …
Image via WikipediaHave you wondered why the latest Batman movie is titled "The Dark Knight"?I'm a comic fan. I grew up on Superman, Batman et al. Even so, when DC Comics revamped Batman in the 80's (or was it the 90's) and came up with the Dark Knight series, I never did follow that. All I knew, was that Batman become moodier, broods, and the whole atmosphere of Gotham …
Here's a quick follow up to my previous post.First of all, let me just say this blog isn't really popular. My page rank is 0 (ie a pr0n site *grin*), my Alexa rank is over 1 million etc. This blog was originally meant as my ranting outlet. For me, something as insignificant (to you maybe) as having 3.2 pageviews per unique visitor is alot for me.It's now just about 30 hours …
Relax, this isn't a woman-bashing post. It's a genuine question.See, recently a newly-acquired female friend started to want to hang out with me during my weekly sojourn to sleazy pubs. "Newly-acquired" meaning she only just managed to get my number and we have no friends in common. She's totally from outside of my normal circle which I "hang out".Initially her SMSes were …
I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.I completed Bioshock in just 33 hours. For an RPG, it’s a damn short one.Seriously.The screencapture is taken from my profile page at Xfire. Eversince I joined back in 2004, it has been tracking every game I have ever played since, and it tells me how long ...
This is an unsolicited video :)In a sense, it's a continuation of the story left off from the previous video. This isn't based on any story written by anyone anywhere, except me. This is what I think would make a nice ending to the whole "Ah Beng And The Sexy Maths Tutor" storyline.Without further ado, here it is - The Cost Of Love. The Cost Of Love from FoxTwo on Vimeo.
Image via WikipediaSpoiler Alert!This post MAY contain spoilers about the new movie, so if you do not like spoilers, STOP READING NOW!Thank you.I just watched this movie at the 7.15pm screening at Orchard Cineleisure last night. As a Trekker, I was waiting with bated breath for the new movie to be released. It has been a few years since the last one, and with an all-new cast, …
Here's a test for you.On a weekday, or even on Friday nights and Saturday nights, try this. Around 10pm or so, try to get a cab.Notice anything?Yeah, not a single available cab. Every one that passes you will be lit up in red, with the words "Hired" or "On call". Even those that are empty, zoom past you.So, did the recent price hike "help" us consumers to get a cab?The same …
