In my previous entry, I wrote about Xfire and how it was unfortunately experiencing problems at the time. In that entry I also ranted a little about how bad the video capture function on Xfire was, albeit it's still in beta-testing stage.After Xfire servers came up again, I decided to try out the video capture again. After, it's been 3 releases since video capture first …
It's been a long time since I've done a rant on Singaporeans.Today's rant is partly inspired by a plurk thread here by XinYun. She was talking about calculative people who whine about being shortchanged (or being asked to pay more) a couple of dollars. Yeah these people probably scored distinctions in maths back in school.In the plurk thread, xinyun was complaining about …
One of the most important driving force for personal development is actually your willpower, your mind. Conversely, your greatest pitfall is the same too - your mind.If you keep thinking you're fat (even if you really aren't), you are going to do destructive things to your body, like missing meals, eating very little, or to induce purging after eating. This usually happens in …
Recently my 5-year-old “gaming rig” died on me. There was no forewarning - I wake up the next day, turned it on… and nothing happened. So, off I went scanning Sim Lim pricelists on Hardwarezone, and realised that a typical PC costs about $800.Since I’m only going to get some components and re-use other existing ...

Like most RPGs, you can play Mass Effect any way you want. Like most RPGs, no matter what your actions, the main quest is pretty “linear”. You can be good or evil and you’ll still complete the main quest in the intended way.The added “push” for Mass Effect is that your character has a reputation ...
Image via WikipediaDuring my usual stumblings, I came across this article here. It talks about the one exercise that "rules them all", kinda like Lord Of The Rings :)Anyway, squats should be no stranger to people who are building muscles. In fact if you go to the various health and body building sites, almost every single one of them advocates that you should never miss doing …
If you're like most people who joined Blogrush to get more traffic for your site, you might want to continue reading.I joined Blogrush too, and although I do get a few clicks and and there from Blogrush, it's not exactly a "rush" of traffic.If you look on my left sidebar, right under the "Crazyhamster.net" graphic, you'll notice a new "adspace". Technically it's an ad, but …
I don't know how many of you noticed, but Entrecard just rolled out a new pricing structure for people to advertise on your blog. You can read the details here at their official blog. On the surface, the structure looks good. It "reflects the popularity" of the blog by having a higher price to advertise on it if it's popular, and a low price if it's unpopular. All very …
"The Last Stand" had always been a popular search term to land visitors on my site. I am only guessing that many people are having problems surviving the first parts of this mission to proceed further.Yup, in just a few short days, here I am again, at the last mission in GRAW2 - The Last Stand. The last time I was here, back in October 2007, I had so much trouble with this …
Asians are the world's native rice eaters. If we tell you a particular rice type sucks, you bet it sucks. Vice versa, if we tell you it's good, it's good, trust us.After some research, I learnt that brown rice instead of the usual polished rice we eat normally, is the healthier and more nutritious choice. Since I still have like 2kg left of my 5kg pack of normal polished …
Saturday is usually a rest-day for us, since we normally drink on Fridays. However this time it was a little different, because one of our drinking friends is leaving for a land far yonder, and we gathered to wish her well on her journey. Scratching our heads for a nice place to hold a farewell dinner-cum-drinks, another friend suggested a new place - The White Rabbit.So, it …
Image via WikipediaI am sure many of you out there have played Fallout, and its sequel Fallout 2. I remember having a blast with both of them, and turning up the gore to see exploding heads and me shooting arms and legs off the enemies.For those who have no clue about the Fallout series, here’s ...
Image via WikipediaI have been a regular customer at a certain pub here. When it closed last year, I became a "nomad" searching for a new watering hole to call "home".Recently a friend told me the guys there had opened a new place at a different location, and I headed there.When the guys saw me (after 1 year) they commented "Wow you lost so much weight! You look fighting fit …
I received the following in an email yesterday. I thought it was just one more of those useless jokes or fake virus warnings until I read it. Now, I'll admit that it doesn't really have mu …
A couple of months back, I was playing Assassin’s Creed and had major performance issues. I wrote a couple of posts about it, and resigned myself to the fact that I had to play with 7 frames per second at best.To recap, here’s the video from the first time I installed the game, and lowered ...
I've been quiet on this blog for a couple of days for one very simple reason - I was busy finishing up Crysis. Late last year, I slowly drifted off playing Crysis due to many things. One thing I remembered when I was reformatting my PC earlier this year was - I will get back to it again, and thus I should keep my saves. The thing about continuing from an old savegame a …
Hahah yeah, I think there wasn't any "progress" lately. In fact, I gained another kilo, so now I stand at 77kg. Dammit.Now, I wish I had some way of knowing whether the weight gained was fats or muscles. I haven't been pigging out, and I have been working out, so I doubt it's fats. Still, I'd like to be sure though. Anyone knows of any device/method which can measure body fat …
Seen in Fallout 3, at Megaton:If you look at the pic, I don’t really see how the Chinese words 明家快 translate into “The Brass Lantern”… Maybe people after the apocal …
