Devil May Cry 4

Well, Ive tried DMC4 on the ps3 and all I can say is this is NOT a repeat of the flop that was DMC2. This is almost like DMC3 remade into a beautiful, beautiful cornucopia of stunning eye-candy graphics.

In the demo itself, there are 2 "chapters" you can play around with. One of them sets you in one of the missions with a 10 minute timer. There you can try out the new moves on ordinary trash mobs that seem to be much easier then the first 2 Sins of DMC3. The second pits you against the very cool looking frost demons that made their first appearance in DMC1, with similar abilities, as well as a fire demon named Berial (boss) who looks slightly copied from the Pit Lords of Warcraft.

The very cool frost demon returns

A new mechanic of the game is revealed in the demo. Veterans of the Omnimusha series would easily recognize small blue objects flying in air you can grab hold of to pull yourself to higher ledges or such to progress the level and also has crucial uses in boss fights. Such a mechanic is introduced in DMC4. Also implemented are ways to grab your enemies from afar and pull them to yourself to continue combos, although Im not sure whether this is limited to Nero (whos the only character you can play in the demo) or whether Dante has some equivalent skill.

But aces of DMC should be aware that the demo does not offer anything very challenging, especially to people who've beaten the Dante Must Die mode in DMC3. The boss Berial only beat me once before I took him down the second time. This is very much different from the first time we met the doggy Cerberus in DMC3 (unless you were a little noob who beat him by standing at the corner and shooting him).

All in all, 9.5/10. The 0.5 flew away because I didnt feel that challenged.

Berial

xXx

Well im glad channel 5 is finally showing triple X on TV cuz Ive been trying ways and means to erm, acquire the movie (ahem ahem) through very legal means (;p) but when I do a search they usually gimme porno cuz well, it is three Xs together.

NB: I do not download movies. I do not condone piracy and the losses they have caused the movie making industry. I do however, have a certain problem with movies inconspicuously finding their way into my hard disc. The cause is yet unknown.

STFU Already, Please

Today I hit the foodcourt in sun plaza for lunch, and after purchasing my chow, I saw an empty seat beside an elderly couple so I went up to them and asked if the seat was occupied. The woman said no, so there I sat.

I was eating my lunch with a sorta dazed " -_- " face, and my earphones plugged into my ears. This is typically a look, and a type of body language that suggests very strongly that Id like to be left in peace so I can eat my food or w/e it is that Im doing. Very unfortunately, this suggestion did not seem strong enough to get through to the old woman, who proceeded to initiate a conversation about what I was eating.

She asked how much my food cost, and then proceeded to comment about how she liked it as well, in rudimentary english. So, as I noticed that she and her husband were conversing in cantonese, I decided to make her life a little easier by replying in cantonese.

Big mistake. Mental slap on my own face.

"Oh, you can speak cantonese? Its no surprise, you young people can do everything nowadays. Are you in sec 1? Oh poly? I see. Oh well anyway its good to learn as much as you can when you're young. Blah blah blah blah young young old old blah blah blah you should study more blah blah blah dont get a girlfriend blah blah blah shut-the-fuck-up-please-Im-trying-to-eat-my-fucking-lunch."

I seriously dont see the point of you telling me your grandmother stories (literally?) about how you screwed up YOUR life and dont want me to end up like you. Like a talk with a random old hag is going to make me realise "OMG IM SO SCREWED UP" and make me go on to change my life and find Jesus Christ and become a monk or whatever.

Side Note: Secondary 1? Im like 20 ffs! I know Ive gotta baby face but, ouch!

Moral of the Story: Dont Share Tables With Old People.

The Nipple Song

I apologize for my tardiness in putting up another post; My life was turned upside down for a bit, but Im back on my feet. So, heres a nice song to cheer everyone up!

Not Every Doctor Deserves His Title

If a doctor who doesnt have a doctorate in the relevant field of nutrition or dieting tells you that the way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more would you believe him?

It is not my opinion, but a fact that thats the wrong way to do it. Every nutritionist knows that its not in how MUCH you eat, but WHAT you eat. Do you think eating 10 kilos of cabbage everyday is going to make me any fatter?

But of course Im not going to tell him that. I much prefer watching some people wallowing in their own stupidity then correct them.

Im Not Like That!

Oh come on guys, just because Im Ben Wong doesnt mean that you cant have an intellectual conversation with me and not assume that every sentence I fabricate has 2 meanings to it or that Im trying to insinuate things that are beyond your comprehension! Just take the previous sentence as an example!

Hahahaha.....

Gummi Bears!

You guys have to watch this.

Netherstorm Event: Stairway To WoW Heaven

I wasted the entire afternoon yesterday doing an event organised by the game masters of my private server. Its this really addictive (at least I thought so. Nest and his friend gave up after 30mins or so) thing where what you do is jump through some obstacle course without falling off. I came in third place, and would have been first had I not fallen off a stupid ledge, twice.


The finishing line, all the way in the sky. You think its that short and easy? Well look at the next picture.


What you see here is only the last 20% of the entire course. But man, private server or no, it was great fun. But since when was winning not fun?

Online Shopping

So Doreen and I were talking about the pros and cons of online shopping one lecture, and Ill tell you guys why shopping online can be very dangerous, despite her arguing that it IS in fact cheaper. Not because the seller doesnt deliver the goods, but because, oh... just have a look at this motivational.

Dogshit In The Rain

William How is seriously the most arrogant/stuck-up/imbecilic, most sorry excuse for a human being Ive ever seen. I can only imagine the amount of money he paid the matchmaker to sieve through thousands of girls to find one that was blind and deaf to marry.

I mean seriously, I put down my dignity for once and actually politely ask that son-of-a-bitch a question, and he contemptuously replies," What do you think?"

Hello, motherfucker, if I had to ask you what I thought I wouldnt be asking in the first place, now would I? Wiener sucking dipshit.

Im so sick of his smug and snotty look that he wears when he thinks hes better then everyone else, even seeing fit to impose his way of living on other people. "Oh if you havent done or thought this way by now, I feel sorry for you etc" You're a what-do-you-call, big vagina.

Oh we go a long way back, this prick and I. Never have I ever hated someone so much in poly, but CockSucker How sure beats the record huh. Since year 1, too. I think I know exactly how its like to be a anorexic and purge every now and then cuz whenever I hear him talk I feel like Ive got a cock shoved down my throat.

Fuck you william how. Do everyone a favour and take a fatal overdose of medication.

Good Boy Bike Gang

I was walking home one night at 9 when I saw this bike gang. The whole bunch of them were stopped in front of a red light. It was like this whole motley crew of bikes, with a wide assortment of bikes ranging from harleys, dirtbikes and 1 scooter, but they had one thing in common: they were all malays.

But that isnt the strange thing. The strange thing was that they were awfully quiet. Like the calm before the storm or something. But the weird thing is that i always had the impression that being in a bike gang meant blasting your shit music with really noisy motors, or maybe the occasional drive-by shooting. But they were just so QUIET you know? Its like, as though they were in the gang just to ride their stupid bikes and not cause any havoc, which is just so wrong. I mean, im not condoning that kind of behaviour, but thats like saying you wanna be a knight just to ride a horse! The whole point of being a knight is saving maidens from dragons and trampling your enemies with your warhorse. If you wanna ride horsies you might as well be a stable
boy!

Oh, and please dont think youre smarter then me and tell me that 15 bikes on a deserted road is just a coincidence, and theyre not actually part of a bike gang. Youre better then that, I hope.

Multitasking Irritations

I just found out I can play quake3 and talk to jen on the phone at the same time. I mean, this just goes to show how instinctive Q3 is. Its just point and shoot, and my circuits around the maps are so formed I dont have to think of where to go. But as a side note, I really have to find someone in real life who can beat me with a railgun because Im seriously beginning to think Im unbeatable.

So anyway, I was playing today when I realised how some things people say irritate me. Heres a list:
1.) Adding "s" or "x" behind "lol" and "haha", making it "hahas" or "lolx".

2.) Saying "stuffs". Stuff is already a collective; just because you have a lot of stuff to do doesnt mean you have "stuffs" to do. I like food, but since I like many different kinds of food, would I say I like to eat foods?

3.) Usage of "ur" when there is ignorance of its meaning. "ur" means You Are, not Your. Hence, "ur mom is stupid" is wrongly used.

4.) Usage of "dots", verbally or written. What the hell is "dots" supposed to imply? Dot is the name of one of my bolsters and polka dots are owned by st.margs girls.

5.) Usage of "riiiiiight" verbally by any singaporean. We really shouldnt do it. I mean, there are some things that are really better left to the whites. Try using your tongue to touch your shoulder while saying "riiiiight" and nodding your head. Thats the type of person you remind me of.

6.) Typing in alternate capital letters and normal letters. I dOnT hAvE tO eLaBoRaTe RiGhT?

Rest In Pieces

I just dont get why I cant type whatever I want on my MSN nicks without getting bugged by people asking what it means. I know, Im a genius and a walking dictionary, but that doesnt mean I hide secret codes or anagrams or whatever else in my nick every single time, and I do have my own moments of emotion where I just want to ride the vicissitudes of my own vibes and say what I feel like.

I get the concern, but jeez, I just wanna do my own shit without being scrutinized by people thinking the Ace is forever up my sleeve.

Movie review/synopsis: Beautiful Mind

Yes I know, Im a few years slow. But then again had I watched it back then when it was just released I might not have been able to appreciate it.

If youve always wanted and wished you were smarter, then this is what happens if you get too much brains. With intelligence comes knowledge and awareness that you are superior, and with this comes the feeling that you were meant for something other then what the other 99.99% of the population was ever capable of doing, so much so that your mind starts imagining scenarios where you fulfill that fantasy.

This shows just about that, and it can get pretty scary, in a sense that it could happen to you. Unless you know for sure you're an idiot, that is.

Stupid Americans

You think americans are stupid? Youre probably right!



okay,maybe not ALL of them. Some of them actually had ok-ok answers that wernt THAT bad. ;p

Alien Versus Predator Explained

Ive just finished watching AVP2, and I felt that it was done only passably. Its basically a movie where, if you're not a fan of the Aliens franchise, youd probably not be as impressed or understanding of the plot. So then, allow me to explain it for the masses. (See, my high IQ is used for Aliens, Warcraft, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Who cares about biology, seriously.)

Q1.) What are Aliens and Predators doing in one movie? Are they trying to make more money by combining the Aliens movies and the Predator movies together?

A.) No, the Aliens and Predators have always been part of the same universe.

Q2.) Where do the Aliens and Predators fit into all this?

A.) The rundown is that, in this movie, there are 3 races.

The first are the humans; Clueless, hapless and stupid descendants of apes.

The second are the xenomorphs, or what we call Aliens. Their origin is wildly speculated by fans, but the 2 I know are that either the Predators created them for use as training, or that some other race created them but then lost control of them and got owned instead. The xenomorph typically goes through 3 stages of growth after emerging from the egg: The first is the facehugger, the crab like one. The facehugger grabs on to the face of the victim and implants an egg inside. This egg grows into a chestburster, which bursts out of the victims chest (duh) and with sufficient nourishment, will grow into a typical drone. I believe each and every drone has the possibility of evolving into a Queen (depending on the needs of the hive), or some form of superior drone, called the Praetorian, as shown in the games.

The chestburster

A drone

The third are the Yautja, or what we call Predators. They are a highly advanced race and their civilisation centers around hunting. They hunt xenomorphs and humans for sport and among their race, some believe humans (ooman, as they call us) to be the ultimate prey due to our ability to think, while others believe the xenomorphs to be harder prey for obvious reasons. They usually hunt solo and kill only what they perceive to be a threat.

The Yautja Predator (survivor) from the first movie

Q3.) If predators usually hunt solo, then why were there 3 preds in the first AVP movie?

A.) The 3 predators in the first movie were not established warriors. They were 3 noobs undergoing a rite of passage to prove their worth as warriors. It should also be noted that, even though the 3 of them arrived together, once the hunt began they broke off from each other, once again showing the Yautja's preference for hunting solo.

Q4.) Why didnt that idiot call for backup even though he was obviously having trouble with so many Aliens in AVP2?

A.) As stated before, in a warrior/honour-based culture, to call in backup in a situation like that would be to admit defeat, and that it unacceptable for the Yautja.

Q5.) How does the chestburster from a predator create the Predalien hybrid?

A.) It has been theoreticized that when the chestburster is gestating in the host, it takes some of the useful genetic material from the host gains the corresponding abilities that help in its survival.

Q6.) Why did the pretty girl (Jesse) have to get spiked by the predator at the end of AVP2?

A.) Cuz she was a pussy. In movies like this, pussies usually die in horrible ways. That is not to say that overly-brave and gungho people dont die. They possibly do as well, just that before they do they take out a few baddies with guns ablaze, which is the way to go.

Disgusting People

So today right, I received word that a bunch of people from the next class were trying to postpone the Stem Cells test, because they apparently wernt prepared and were quote "too stressed" unquote. I thought at first, whatever, it doesnt put me in a disadvantageous position, so whatever.

They called up Mark Richards, our lecturer/invigilator to try to postpone the test but failed because he couldnt make it happen. So then I thought,"haha, maybe those people will learn their lesson and go study earlier or something." Slightly hypocritical, I know, because I dont really give a shit about studies myself.

But no, it turns out, they made another push, this time to make the test an open-book test. This really, really disgusted me for 4 reasons.

1.) Dr Richards just got over his stepdad's death, and now, on the first week of school, you try to put him through this shit.

2.) They know Dr Richards spoils the students sometimes, and they're taking advantage of this.

3.) The people who were pushing for the postpone were excellent students, but horrible people, as it turns out. I say this because if you want to keep your GPA high, you damn well be prepared to suffer stress or cry yourself to sleep every night idc. If everyone else can make the bloody test, prepared or not, why cant you?
The impression they are giving me is this : I am not prepared, and therefore sitting for this test will pull down my grades. Therefore, fuck everyone else. *I* shall try to postpone it because it is disadvantageous for *me*. Mark Richards state of mind now is inconsequential as long as *I* try to get what *I* want. Now, I shall try to garner support from like-minded people so it doesnt seem like its just me.

4.) What kind of reason is "Im too stressed to take the test."?

Ladies and gentlemen, I pray you dont become like these pieces of shit when you grow up.

N.B.: I am well aware of the possibility that I have acquired only shreds of the entire story and that it could be possible that those aforementioned students had their families wiped out in a plane crash and therefore gave those reasons mentioned above. If such is the case, notify me and Ill eat my words.
