Indeed I do. I finally took time to realize how long has it been since I sat down on my old leather black chair, typing to this same page where I have left so many marks. It's been a pretty normal life after the dreaded SPM, I guess. Though applying the word "dreaded" would be me, over-exaggerating on SPM's difficulty. Trust me SPM candidates, it's easier than you think it is.
After SPM I took time to actually feel free from studies and start my metamorphosis into a makeshift sloth. Video games were played, friends were met and goodbyes were said. After that, it was a period of overwhelming boredom, so bored I was that I was determined to find a job. And so I did. I applied to work ad Golden Screen Cinema Mid Valley hoping to be placed in the ticketing booth. But the supervisors had something else in mind for me, for me to be a "steward" or so they say. Steward is a word too simple to define what my job description for RM3.40 an hour. In the mornings I have to traverse the maze of the cinema exits to turn on the air conditioning and lights on. After that I would need to do hourly hall checks for faulty infrastructure or couples who are getting a little too "friendly". I needed to check if the ads are playing. Once I actually got to breathe, they tell me to go to the checkpoint to tear tickets and smile at the customers. Those of you who go to the movies might think stewards have it easy, but think again. The next time you bring me for a movie in Mid Valley, trust me, the next set of shows will be canceled since I will bring you on a air-conditioning sabotaging tour ala Jonathan Law.
After just a few days in GSC I applied to work at a Computer Games store that I regularly go to in order to find my video games. I figured if I could combine my knowledge in computers and amateur sales skill, I could earn a few bucks to spend on things I'd like. It's been 2 months now and this will be my last month working there. It's been a pleasure meeting new people and helping those in need of games installation. Friends visit me regularly to keep me company and for that I appreciate each and everyone of you!
For my next act in this tale of life. I will work until the 7th of April and by then I'll have a month's worth of holiday before I move on to my freshman year in college.
Hopefully, without my regular work schedule of 10A.M. - 10 P.M. , I will be able to write more to this blog, to share my thoughts with all of you.
For now this is Jonathan Law, signing out for the time being.

The Game Of Life
Before I start I'd like to thank Nathalie for the idea of this post, she thought that since I do game reviews I should do one about something else (no spoilers!) So I hope you guys enjoy this one.
P.S. This is going to be a long post.
_______________________________________
For this review I will judge the game on a few different aspects, which are; Story, Gameplay, Characters, Sound and Music, Graphics, and of course the final score for this game.
The name of the game is LIFE. Yes, just 1 word, LIFE. The developers and publishers of this game are unknown as of now. But rumors in the Vatican says that it was by someone named God, and the scientist from various countries claim that it was by Evolution. Either way, let's get on with the review.
LIFE's released date is also unknown, but the synopsis is that you will play as a person who starts off in your mother's womb and from there you will gain control of your character. Basically the goal of the game is to experience life, there is also Online play available, or you can even just stick to the single player mode. Either way, it's your choice. Also LIFE cannot be purchased at any game store, you need to wait for it to be delivered to you to start playing, unfortunately.
Story: The game takes place on our current time line on Planet Earth, each unit of life varies, mine started in 1993. But either way you will start the game inside your mother's womb then after 9 months of loading time, you will finally take control of your character. The game is pretty similar to Fallout 3, where you have to pick choices to shape your own story. After the baby stages, you will advance to childhood stage which is basically playing around all day without a worry, then the youngster period where you begin to go to school, adolescence stage where you continue up to high school, young adult stage where you go to college and adult stage where you get your first official job and then you will see the epilogue in the eyes of the elderly period. Each of these stages will have countless choices to choose from and they will shape the next stage of the story. However, the backdraw of the game is that you can't repeat the choices, the game offers no saving option whatsoever. So pick carefully. But in conclusion I would like to say that the story is full of depth and very down to earth. It totally has everything in it as far as I know (Since I'm still at the Adolescence Stage) It has almost everything, from drama, action, romance, thriller, horror... you name it, LIFE has it! LIFE's story is also so overwhelming that you'll feel attach to it.
Story: 9.5/10
Gameplay: Basically, LIFE is an Action/Adventure Game with a First Person point of view. IT also has Role-Playing Game elements. When you start of you can only crawl, once you've gained enough crawling level you will be able to walk, then run. You will also be able to handle multiple objects like computers, cellphones, even weapons like knives or guns once you've gained enough experience levels and wisdom levels. But the potency of handling these objects are affected by your judgement level. Let's say at one point in your life you are short of money, and you decide to rob a bank, if your judgement level is not high enough, your karmatic level will force you to rob a bank. Or maybe when someone enrages you and your character says he/she wants to slap the offender, if your judgement is not good, he/or she will slap that person with the consequence of losing a social link, or even worse; making enemies.
LIFE takes place on Earth as I earlier stated, you have access to a open-ended world, you can go anywhere you like in later parts of the game, provided if you have enough money. Though for the earlier part you will be forced to go to school to gain more levels in various areas like sports, arts, academics and much more. This will ultimately decide which college or university will go to, hence it will affect your future career choices. Again choice plays an important part in school, you have the choice to doze of during class, do other things or even skip school entirely and going somewhere else to raise your satisfaction bar.
The satisfaction bar fills when you do the things that you find enjoyable, be it from watching a movie to partying in a club, these activities will increase your satisfaction bar, but raising the bar will of course; consume your money, that is why it is important to obtain a job when you reach the adult stage to ensure the financial stability of your character.
Again I stress, you cannot save your game hence you cannot replay the area you've got a Game Over in and it's a single cycle game. If you cannot cope with your Health meter, you will pass away and ultimately ending the game, rendering it unplayable again. So you have to take care of yourself, the risks are always high. Most players die young on the streets, others are kidnapped by other players during online play in the city and then die, some even don't receive their copy of LIFE and they will be registered as dead.
You will also have access to social links, social links, AKA Friends and Family will also affect your character development by tipping your Karmatic meter. Bad influences will turn your character into a villain while good influences will keep your character in his/her hero mode. You will gain access to different social links throughout the game, most noticeably is the Parents social links that you obtain at the very start of the game. This will ultimately tilt your Karmatic meter towards one end, it depends on what kind of parents you get though. But no matter you can work your way to your desired end of the Karmatic meter. Be helping people or taking their life, you hold the choices in your hands.
You will also have a choice to dive yourself into a religion of your choice, in LIFE, you can pick any religion you want, or maybe you prefer to be an atheist? But to sum it all up, if you pick a religion, it will slightly tilt your Karmatic meter to a positive note and it will increase the level of your character's faith which will boost your character's judgement level.
Take note, when you do kill another person playing LIFE, it will not only tilt your Karmatic meter towards the villain side, but also will place you under police surveillance, and that person whom you have just murdered will get a Game Over ending his/her LIFE.
Marriage will also become once you have enough cash and when you have a spouse that you can engage to. Marriage will result in your character marrying another character whom you will live together for the rest of the game. And when you manage to have a family, LIFE copies will be sent out to other people to grant you a baby, thus making you that person's Parent social link.
The length of gameplay varies on how you play the game, some end the game at a young age due to death, some will ultimately finish the game and die of old age. The average game time you'll get is 50 years. Some are lucky enough to keep playing the game for over 100 years. I've also heard rumors that whatever you do in LIFE will affect the sequel that's coming to you called AFTERLIFE. So, with such variety, what more can you ask for with open opportunities of LIFE?
Gameplay: 10/10
Characters: As far as character goes, you build up your own persona during the course of the game and the characters/social links you meet vary depending on which unit of LIFE you get. But here are a few screenshots of the characters that I've met so far into this game:
People who can change the way you think about LIFE:
People who can teach you a thing or two when you play LIFE:
People that help you when you're losing the game:
Or people that makes LIFE seem a little more interesting when you meet them:
With that all I can say is you will meet a variety of people from all walks of life.
Characters: 10/10
Sound and Music: In LIFE, you can customize your own music, which is one of the best features of the game. The playlist available for your music can be changed depending on your mood and as you progress the game, more songs will become available. Currently my Playlist consist of works from Paramore, Jason Mraz and one of the most renowned contemporary composers; SHoji Meguro of his Shin Megami Tensei fame. The overral SFX of the game is superb since LIFE uses a technology ahead of our time to encode the audio.
Sound and Music: 10/10
Graphics: LIFE's graphics are undoubtedly gorgeous. The resolution of LIFE goes beyond your 1080p HD boundaries. The graphics are very realistic. You can see the details of a person's every hair strand even to the finest of wrinkles. Even the environment is beautifully projected with such detail that it can only be the work of one with divine skill.
Graphics: 10/10
I would like to say that LIFE gains a 10/10 from me. It is, by far one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had in my life. (no pun intended) For those of you who are reading this, lucky you, you've got your copy of LIFE!
Final Verdict: 10/10 Overall Score
__________________________________________________
And......done, I hope you guys enjoyed this and for those of you who's photos I've taken from your Facebook pages ever so secretly, I'm deeply sorry.
Also, credits for the epic sunset picture goes to Johnathan and his superb photography skill. And the game cover was a photoshop edit done by me.
ALright then, that's it from me for now. Remember, live that life of yours to the fullest.

Of a father's compassion and holding myself back.
Nier. The single oddly spelled name has made his way to one of my most respected characters ever made. His unyielding persona, and compassion for those around him is hard to come by in real life. His kindness of helping those in need and giving his all to save his daughter, Yonah from the dreaded Black Scrawl disease is reason enough to play the game. Great story, decent gameplay and superb voice-acting. My only complaint towards Nier is the repetitive side-quests mandatory to get cash from, that concludes my brief review of the game I'm currently playing.
Now, some of you may know I've been trying to go after a certain girl, but well, in the end, things didn't work out. And I've come to a realization, that meeting random girls isn't the way to go. So from this moment on, I won't go after any girls anymore. "Leave it to fate." said my good friend; Nathalie. And leaving it to fate I will. For those of you who are in a relationship, congratulations and keep it that way, you're lucky enough to love and to be loved back. Now as I look back, the only people I see are my friends and friends only.
Anyways, ciao miei cari lettori.
P.S. Stay true to yourself.

Me? Lawyer/Psychologist/Graphics Designer/Game Designer in the making + 1 naggy girlfriend? HAH.
Now when the hell did I even decide when I wanted to be either an attorney or a psychologist? Oh that's right, I decided to be a psychologist when I found out you could get into psychology courses even though you're from arts stream and considering how I can play with the minds of others, psychology ain't that bad. And I considered becoming an attorney because I've seen how courtroom dilemmas were simulated by a stupid gaming console.... I blame the Ace Attorney series on the DS for this, guilty as charged.
See teachers and friends have been telling me that when I debate with someone (be it teachers or friends) I tend to sound like a lawyer. Even I myself think that when I debate, there's an image of the devil behind me making people piss in their pants. Mehh, enough boasting eh, of course most of you know that I'm not a bright enough guy to ever step foot in the court of law.
Graphics design and gaming design has been my one goal in life, to open a big ol' company strong enough to match even the successful Square-Enix. Games have been always with me from when I was just a whipper-snapper, I can clearly remember that my first console was a Sega Saturn and I used to play Sonic The Hedgehog on it. Thus my resolve of becoming a major game developer not for only the financial perks, but to capture the hearts of gamers alike.
Now let's all forget that confusing spiral of career choices shall we, trust me, I hate choices, especially hard ones. Which reminds me of my girlfriend. I didn't address this case properly last time, so I'm gonna openly admit to you now, yes, I have a girlfriend, she's 17 like me and she's an Indonesian-born Chinese, just like me. She's slightly over-weight, likes the color green and is currently having financial problems. During PMS she has a fetish for Rojak and she plays a lot of Facebook games. BUT, she's also a hot-tempered, obsessive, and possessive girl with and added touch of hypocrisy. Now, I' not complaining about her mediocre looks, I don't usually care about the looks. But that black of a heart...what's there left to love?
One moment she could be a loving girl that cares for you, the next moment she could be ranting the ever loving crap out of herself. She has a tendency to make assumptions about me....NEGATIVE ones. It makes me ponder to myself... "Am I really that big of a dick?" So I settled the matters with her, yet she also hides it in now, and when she's accumulated enough, it's bombs away, folks.
Like I said, I hate choices, I could easily break up with her and keep her in good terms with me, but I just can't stand seeing her break down in front of me, yet, sometimes I want this relationship to stop for the good of us both. I know she loves me loads but damn she's one thpugh nut to crack. I'm clueless.
P.S. Zee, if you're reading this, I need your philosophical advice right now. Well, anyone would do but you know me best, next to Yen Yi, so whatever.

Of superiority complex and rights
I'm sorry I haven't been updating my blog my dearly beloved readers, I'm afraid I was too busy with my girlfriend (case is solved), friends, games and school work. But this is something I have stuck in my head that I have to let out to the world.
______________________________________________________________________
As all of you know by now (especially if you're in SMK Maxwell) rumors of me rebelling against out "school principal" has been flying around and spreading ad godspeed. Readers, it's true, I did rebel against Datin Zainab Bee Binti Ismail and I openly admit that. Of course a myriad of insults have been thrown at me like "The traitor", the sarcastic term "My hero" or Afiq from class 5A teasing me with a "what are you gonna do? post on Facebook" thing. Well those who still have any vengeance on me, kindly proceed to my class and tell me straight to the face, it's the best way. But in truth, I don't really give a damn about what you have to say on my actions and behavior, I have my reasons.
First off, I just couldn't take the Datin's superiority complex anymore, they way she lowers teh prestige of her students but ending up saying that it's for our own good gives her the image to the students that she's a hypocrite and that day of the SPM briefing and subject selections, She said exactly this "No, I won't allow you to take any subject due to the fact that you're potentials are limited." How does she of all people know OUR potential, not to call her fatuous, but I think that's rather rude. Not only did my friends from 5A wasted hundreds and hundreds of money to get a proper private education to prepare them for the upcoming SPM, she doesn't care less of our well being. then let me ask you, what ever happened to "Maxwell's Vision" of being a quality school on 2011? Truly this fatuous irony is laughable.
And then, this is what I see in every adult, I even consulted to my parents, friends and even teachers after the incident, I asked them "What about us? Where's OUR student's rights?" they all gave the same answer, all from fear and cowardice, I swear they all said "What can we do? it's her will, she's the boss there, we can't do anything, what if she sues you for the Facebook group?" By that moment I pondered to myself "Surely they jest, what happened to rights?" My friend Cody Rosales from America even said "No Jon, school preps you to know that in this world, you don't have rights." I humbly beg to differ, everyone should be treated with equality in this day and age. And I tend to fight for my rights. Whatever happened to our forefathers who fought for civil rights in Malaysia? The great Tungku Abdul Rahman, or what ever happened the Negro movement in America? countless lives perished fighting for their freedom, Martin Luther King Jr. died while giving a speech just to claim the civil rights of his people, for those of you who are ignorant.
By now, I sound like a dictator, don't you agree? Well, I couldn't care less, this is what I have to say. And let me stress this out one more time, if the superiors want to shun and look down upon me, so be it, but know this, that these "adults" fear us, we the generation who will take over from where they left off, we hold the power to change the world, these hands can shake the very foundations of this world and "Your voice will never be heard"? then I'll MAKE them hear me and make them understand. The Datin wants to see me, that's what Mrs. Raja told me a few days ago and I'm still waiting for her to call me up, frankly, I can't wait to debate with her, I want her to know that we, the students of this institution deserve more than what we have. But luckily, teachers have already begun supporting me, Mr. Rozaini and Mrs. Noraini are already going around to the form 5 classes to jot down those who are taking extra subjects, so if they came to your class, you know who got 3 weeks suspension from the prefectorial board, tainted his good image and took all the blame for your participation in that group. I don't need your thanks and praise. This is already considered a state of euphoria for me, and plus, I'm used to be forgotten, so yeah it's all good.
Well, keep those insults coming, I warmly welcome all of them.
Cheers,
Your sore loser and underdog,

As all of you know by now (especially if you're in SMK Maxwell) rumors of me rebelling against out "school principal" has been flying around and spreading ad godspeed. Readers, it's true, I did rebel against Datin Zainab Bee Binti Ismail and I openly admit that. Of course a myriad of insults have been thrown at me like "The traitor", the sarcastic term "My hero" or Afiq from class 5A teasing me with a "what are you gonna do? post on Facebook" thing. Well those who still have any vengeance on me, kindly proceed to my class and tell me straight to the face, it's the best way. But in truth, I don't really give a damn about what you have to say on my actions and behavior, I have my reasons.
First off, I just couldn't take the Datin's superiority complex anymore, they way she lowers teh prestige of her students but ending up saying that it's for our own good gives her the image to the students that she's a hypocrite and that day of the SPM briefing and subject selections, She said exactly this "No, I won't allow you to take any subject due to the fact that you're potentials are limited." How does she of all people know OUR potential, not to call her fatuous, but I think that's rather rude. Not only did my friends from 5A wasted hundreds and hundreds of money to get a proper private education to prepare them for the upcoming SPM, she doesn't care less of our well being. then let me ask you, what ever happened to "Maxwell's Vision" of being a quality school on 2011? Truly this fatuous irony is laughable.
And then, this is what I see in every adult, I even consulted to my parents, friends and even teachers after the incident, I asked them "What about us? Where's OUR student's rights?" they all gave the same answer, all from fear and cowardice, I swear they all said "What can we do? it's her will, she's the boss there, we can't do anything, what if she sues you for the Facebook group?" By that moment I pondered to myself "Surely they jest, what happened to rights?" My friend Cody Rosales from America even said "No Jon, school preps you to know that in this world, you don't have rights." I humbly beg to differ, everyone should be treated with equality in this day and age. And I tend to fight for my rights. Whatever happened to our forefathers who fought for civil rights in Malaysia? The great Tungku Abdul Rahman, or what ever happened the Negro movement in America? countless lives perished fighting for their freedom, Martin Luther King Jr. died while giving a speech just to claim the civil rights of his people, for those of you who are ignorant.
By now, I sound like a dictator, don't you agree? Well, I couldn't care less, this is what I have to say. And let me stress this out one more time, if the superiors want to shun and look down upon me, so be it, but know this, that these "adults" fear us, we the generation who will take over from where they left off, we hold the power to change the world, these hands can shake the very foundations of this world and "Your voice will never be heard"? then I'll MAKE them hear me and make them understand. The Datin wants to see me, that's what Mrs. Raja told me a few days ago and I'm still waiting for her to call me up, frankly, I can't wait to debate with her, I want her to know that we, the students of this institution deserve more than what we have. But luckily, teachers have already begun supporting me, Mr. Rozaini and Mrs. Noraini are already going around to the form 5 classes to jot down those who are taking extra subjects, so if they came to your class, you know who got 3 weeks suspension from the prefectorial board, tainted his good image and took all the blame for your participation in that group. I don't need your thanks and praise. This is already considered a state of euphoria for me, and plus, I'm used to be forgotten, so yeah it's all good.
Well, keep those insults coming, I warmly welcome all of them.
Cheers,
Your sore loser and underdog,
Jonathan Law.

Final Fantasy XIII
Oh, so sorry that I didn't post for quite sometime, was busy playing Final Fantasy XIII, to be honest. By far, it's one of the best games I have in my collection, intense story, interesting character development and shocking plot twists. Not to mention the lush and beautifully rendered environment is on Full HD display. So yeah, it's a total eye-candy AND it has an addictive battle system. I won't spoil any aspect of the story or gameplay because... 1, I'm a lazy-ass guy who is slightly overweight. 2, it's too epic to spoil and 3, too complicated to put into words.

Out of the frying pan and into the freezer.
Well, it's been nearly a week since my return from Indonesia. I didn't have time to blog because of my laziness, due to the amount of things I have to blog about.
Here goes. See the reason I didn't wanna go to Indonesia was because of where I live there, the food's bad, the girls are...mehh and there's only 3 friggin' malls, in 3 years....they only built 2 more....wow. Also my stay at the little town outside of Jakarta known as Depok isn't FUN, it's like a baby-sitting job that doesn't pay at since I have to take care of my 3 year-old twin nephews.
But, on a different note, the heart of the country, Jakarta is a different story, though the pollution is nothing less than displeasing, progress on the city has bettered itself, roads don't get stuck in traffic jams much, and the malls there have improved, so has the social well being of the citizens. Every single block you to, every single street has a mall, that's something rather new to me since Malaysia has less.
Not
only that, the en
tertainment industry has greatly improved, Indonesian artists make much better local tunes than Malaysia has ever did, they create something original, not used. For instance, my latest band fetish Vierra, they make great songs, powerful music and lyrics. Or local movies are shot at a decent camera quality, I immediately fell in love with a movie called Laskar Pelangi which tells of the struggle of a group of elementary school kids, the plot is diverse and complete.
Speaking about love, I think I just fell for my cousin's bestie, unfortunately, she lives in Jakarta and the only way I can talk to her is via Facebook, but no matter, someone told me to be patient and so I will. When will I ever be able to meet you? *sigh*
Als
o on the other note, my extortion of cash from my aunts is a success, I finally got myself a Nintendo DS Lite. For those of you who know my hate for Nintendo would be shooting me right now for being a hypocrite, but some NDS games are too good to resist, so I had to get one.
Then there's the cinemas of Indonesia....walking to each one of them is like walking into a 5-star hotel, since it's plain "wow" they have arcades, comfortable seats, good food and great movies shown at a reasonable price of approximately 25,000Rp - 30,000Rp, which is about 8 ringgit to 10 ringgit.
My cousins are also the people I love and I will miss them for the next 11 months, since chances are I'll be going again in 2010, anyone who wants to come with me are always welcome. And no, Indonesia isn't just bout Bali, there are other great places to see, 37 states in all, and a large metropolis of a city to hang around with.
Well, as 2010 is just hours away, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, may you successfully achive your new year's resolution. Ciao.

The curtains are closed. And an Italian Assassin is born.
Well, last Friday draws an end to my Form 4 life in my High School chronicles, next year is gonna be one heck of a year I guess. Hope you guys have a awesome holiday. As for me? Well, after the dull closing of the school year, it's gonna be followed with a dull holiday yet again. I'm gonna be here till the 5th of December, after that, it's back to Indonesia till the 27th, and Hell hath no fury like the boredom of me being there. (not a woman scorned =P)
And, I finally got Assassin's Creed II, didn't get to play the first one since I didn't have a PS3 last time, and my rusty ol' computer couldn't take the heat, I always wondered why, since I see nothing that my computer couldn't handle. But now I do, the processing power needed to display the lush, beautiful environment, the emulation of crowds and so on needs to be all powerful, processing is exactly what my computer lacks, but now I can finally play this. Being a fan of the Prince of Persia series, I love this game, everything about it. Unlike how basic the first story was (Hey you're a Assassin of the Al Mualim and you're gonna kill 5 Crusaders, good luck *pats on the back*) Now you're a nobleman, from Italy who's forced o be an assassin because of a conspiracy that killed your father and 2 brothers. Of course, you have to uncover the plot of the Templars AND avenge your family. I'm only 5 hours into the game, but so far, so good. Nothing is repetitive so far. The economy system is great, and the new functions such as clothing, collectibles, dual hidden blades, poison coating on blades, the hidden gun and so on is what makes the game even more satisfying, and it's addictive, VERY addictive. The game has truly evolved from the first, adding a little dash of RPG elements in it. If you have either a PS3 or 360, this is a definite BUY. Or you can just wait for the PC version.
Also shame on those who hasn't watched 2012, it's EPIC so I will not spoil the plot.
Va Bene (Very well), I guess I'll stop here for now. Ciao. (goodbye)
P.S. Oh no, the Italians in the game have corrupted my grammar! O=

Fang Dies? Has Patterson gone MAD?!
I haven't been posting, so.....
____________________________________________________________________
Ok, as you can see from the official cover of Maximum Ride Book 6....Fang dies. And no, the "Angel is never wrong" part isn't an exaggeration. She has (apparently....) the ability to see into the future now. Yeah, rant now, Alice Cullen fans, that includes you Ritchie. Well I also saw the preview for it when I went to KLCC's Kinokuniya to get myself a reference book to draw better, so I got the BlazBlue Material Collection (since I also got the PS3 game) which whiplashed RM 151.20 ( 50.40 USD) outta my parents' wallets. But well, it's worth it.
Now, anyways, the preview says that Fang is actually the Alpha Male of the flock (gee, stating teh obvious are we, Mr. Patterson?). So Max oh-so "neeeeeeeeds" him. Oh yeah, their also a dysfunctional teenage couple to boot. So the Flock (which is basically a gang of 5 mutant Avian-Human hybrid freaks and a Flying dog) meets a rich scientist, this scientist apparently succeeded in making the perfect Avian-Human Hybrid named Dylan. Dylan is to replace Fang...... but honsetly, James Patterson destroying his fanbase AGAIN? (which he did with the shitty 4th and 5th books which were just sick excuses to promote environmental awareness) I digress.
Also if you're wondering... BlazBlue is a 2D fighting game, I'm a sucker to awesome flashy fighting games, so yeah. =P Here's the Material Collection and Game cover:

An update.
Yeeeeeeah, haven't been blogging for awhile, but why not now eh? So ok, reasons why I haven't been blogging, my laziness of course and my PS3. Apparently, Ritchie has been coming over as my Resident Evil 5 partner, and I thought that game was just a one shot game with no replay value, but there's more than meets the eye, there's tons of unlockables to make the game fun, like god-like guns or alternate costumes. And offline co-op play is just so damn fun, beats trying to direct a dumbass AI to do something.
On that note, I seriously don't know what to get next for my PS3 , so much for endless fun, eh?
Also today, me and my friend was just entrusted to design the Prefectorial Board's T-shirt and the Prefectorial Board's Crest/Badge/Emblem, whatever you call it, so yeah folks, I'm gonna curb stomp my own mark in Fagswell's history, awesome huh? and finally I can get some reputation in that joint.
Yesterday, I also visited SMAKL (Sekolah Menegah Agama Kuala Lumpur) for some road safety for motorcycles seminar for an excuse to skip school, it was dull as shit, though the girls from the other schools that came were so my taste, I didn't get any numbers since the schools came in masses of 30's. And walking miles just to find a mini-market selling drinks then running back full circle uphill and downhill of the housing complex (SMAKL is located in a secluded housing area) 'cuz of a low blow prank my fag friend did. My thighs are aching.
Also apparently, at the '09 VMAs at MTV, Kanye West mocked Taylor Swift after she won her 1st best female singer award by snatching the mic from her and saying (I swear to God this was his exact words) "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for ya, and Imma let you finish but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time, OF ALL TIME!!" proves how much of a douchebag Kanye is.
So yeah, guess I'll be real busy during the holidays with the designs and gaming going on. That is all folks and you've been filled in.
P.S. Look what I found when I was google-ing for a higher resolution for my school badge needed for the T-shirt design: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_School I can't help but to laugh my ass off.

I finally got my PS3!!!!!
Finally got it, now, about this subject, I have good news, and bad news. Choose which one you wanna look at first. I'll label them.
THE BAD
-------------------
I didn't get the Limited Edition one, why? Cuz' Sony isn't gonna import anymore PS3 Facebreaker (yeah, I call it that due to the size). Why is this happening? cuz they're gonna release that slim version of it, I personally don't like it because it looks stupid, and you can't hear that roar of the PS3's behemoth engine. Instead I got the standard 40 GB model, with one controller.
This is the PS3 slim:
THE GOOD:
-------------------
Now, without the limited edition shabang, my facebreaker looked dull, BUT, being the close friend I am to the workers at the shop, they gave me a good deal of adding the Final Fantasy VII COMPLETE + Final Fantasy XIII Demo disc, along with another controller. Also, reduced price on 3 games that I bought, which were Valkyria Chronicles, Soul Calibur IV and Resident Evil 5.

Been busy...
Awww man, sorry for not posting again guys, been really busy with all the projects and game projects. My week so far? let's sum it up....
Gaynehen told us to finish our bullshit moral project on Thursday, I worked non stop till 4AM just to make the deadline, next day, the faggot didn't show up, and today..... he did, apparently, ACCIDENTALLY sowed up in my class cuz he was in a blur, he didn't ask for the project AGAIN, and when my friend asked him about it, he went "Nahh, later....". WE. WERE. PISSED. Except for the Chavs(Gangster wannabes in british lingo) of course. So I don't know when the hell does that faggot want it.
Next, my exams.... mid term results SUCK, I got straight B's and C's with only 2 A's. I got 93% for English, yeah, yeah, mock me for getting a godly result for it. I just copied Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII's synopsis for section B. I was pissed when I got 93, since some nerd named Ritchie from the best class got a 95, 2 more marks and I could have make him fall from his glory. Ritchie, if somehow you found my blog, I'll make you pay for the final terms.
And I found out that now, the Playstation Portable 3000 is finally hacked and there's a hack for it, you can google "ChickenHEN PSP 3000" and find it.
Well that's about it basically, and maybe I'll continue my story later tonight, folks. Well Adieu!

Freedom!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so here's to why I have NOT been posting....
___________________________________________________________________
Exams, 2 "glorious" week of it. BUT, it's finally ended, AND I have 2 weeks of mid-year holidays. And GOD!! I hope I nail those exams since if I nail em', I'll get a Cloud Black Limited Edition PS3 instead of the mormal one.
<-------------------( Cloud Black Limited Edition Playstation 3)
____________________________________________________________________
Well, not just that, Im busy programming a game, it's made by the MUGEN engine. MUGEN is a game engine that allows you to make 2-D fighting games. The thing is, you gotta either find the characters and stages from the internet, or make em' your own self ( Which Im trying to do). But my limited skills only enable me to make custom lifebar portraits and re-code some minor codings like stage music or position of the characters.
This is a sample of it:
Of course, I couldn't have done or learnt these tricks if it wasn't for the community of Mugen-Infantry.net
___________________________________________________________________
Ok, so I also went and checked out 2 movies, Angels & Demons and Terminator : Salvation. And I say, both of em' rocks! Angels & Demons is a thriller with one of the best story line ever. Making fake Christian cover-ups. Then you have Terminator, a in-your-face action movie with a decent story to boot, and I gotta say the new Terminator might not be Arnold, but he kicks more ass that Arnold ever did.
____________________________________________________________________
So I guess that sums up my past few weeks.

New Games for the PS3 and PSP
Ok guys and girls the Playstation market has been bursting with games this month, so Im gonna tell you some of the more famous releases.
1st up, Resident Evil 5
Ok, so gamers now that Resident Evil has let us down at all since the PS1 days, and it didn't let us down again! props to Capcom! So I played this game last week and really love it, lush, dark graphics, realistic physics, and even more fast-paced than ever, now you can access the menu to change weapons JUST with the press of a button, and still retaining your gameplay, your partner, Sheva has a great deal of t
eamwork programming on her AI, you can trade items with your partner, ask you partner to help you to get to grounds unreachable. And the amount of zombies, and plain psychos comin' at you at the same time just keeps the Adrenaline pumping, and you wanting for more, this is a must play, so, lock and loaded baby!
So, PS3 owners who have Resistance and it's sequel, should really play this, realeased yesterday, (March 17th 2009) One of the most entisipated PSP games there is, Resistance : Retribution, the story is about James Grayson, a British soldier working in the French resistance against the Chimera(Russian experiments gone wrong) By now, the world has almost been destroyed, and the endless army of the Chimera has taken over, The game picks of after Resistance 1:Fall of Man, But since Sgt. Nathan already went for training with the other resistance group, you play as James for this one. The game as been changed to a 3rd person view, since the PSP only has 1 godamned Analog stick, but the game is st
ill really fun, don't worry. An aiming assitant is also present to help you shoot thru the Chimera. The graphics for this game is just purely insane, the best looking by far in terms for PSP. This game will impress you, it's just like the real Resistance, but just with a slight change of gameplay, that's all. So GO GET IT! And defend yourself against the Chimera invasion.
1st up, Resident Evil 5

And the amount of zombies, and plain psychos comin' at you at the same time just keeps the Adrenaline pumping, and you wanting for more, this is a must play, so, lock and loaded baby!Next, Street Fighter IV
So, took a long time for Capcom to make the latest installment h
uh? but alas, Street Fighter IV came anyways. Now, it's still a side-scrolling 2-D style of gameplay, but just look at how good it looks? It's actually 3-D cel-shaded graphics on 2-D plane. The mechanics are still the same classci ones, and a new character was added, named Seth, which looks like Dr.Manhattan from the Watchmen. Well, the new thing is now that, whenever you do a supermove, be it, Shin Hadoken or even just a 
Syoryuken, the camera freezes and changes to a random dynamic angle to make your accomplishment oh-so much more victorious, also, if you guys managed to get the collector's edition, you'll get a free DVD of the Street Fighter IV anime! sweet! Fans of the classic or even newbies, should give this game a spin. So, what are you waiting for? Step in, Fist up, and....HADOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh? but alas, Street Fighter IV came anyways. Now, it's still a side-scrolling 2-D style of gameplay, but just look at how good it looks? It's actually 3-D cel-shaded graphics on 2-D plane.

So, PS3 owners who have Resistance and it's sequel, should really play this, realeased yesterday, (March 17th 2009) One of the most entisipated PSP games there is, Resistance : Retribution, the story is about James Grayson, a British soldier working in the French resistance against the Chimera(Russian experiments gone wrong) By now, the world has almost been destroyed, and the endless army of the Chimera has taken over, The game picks of after Resistance 1:Fall of Man, But since Sgt. Nathan already went for training with the other resistance group, you play as James for this one. The game as been changed to a 3rd person view, since the PSP only has 1 godamned Analog stick, but the game is st
ill really fun, don't worry. An aiming assitant is also present to help you shoot thru the Chimera. The graphics for this game is just purely insane, the best looking by far in terms for PSP. This game will impress you, it's just like the real Resistance, but just with a slight change of gameplay, that's all. So GO GET IT! And defend yourself against the Chimera invasion. Well, that's all from me, Adios Munchachos!

It's coming...are you guys ready.....?
PMR.....is... next week, are you all ready? Im not so ready yet, but, oh well....
Well, enough about education, as you gamers know there's a new game called Star wars The Force Unleashed that came out a few days ago, it's for the PS3, 360, PS2, PSP, DS and Wii. And as you can see, there's NO PC version, which brings me to today's topic: WTF LucasArts?! Where's The PC Version?! Well, the reason they said it's immpossible to make a PC version is beacuse of the lack of processing power in the PC to run the game, which is akward, since they made the game with computers right? Well, here's something you Can do to force them to make it for the PC, go to this site: http://www.petitiononline.com/g5d4iu5f/ and sign the petition, and join us to MAKE lucasArts make the game, regardless if your a gamer or not, just please, the more signatures the better, thank you for your co-op.
Again, good luck to all PMR candidates this year, God bless and Adios Munchachos!

The trials and PMR.....
Well... it's gonna be crappy alwhile here, with the PMR coming and trials going on next week, well people are kinda getting outta their minds. Oh, but what the heck? ^^ It's just exams, to all my friends, study hard~! And ace those subjects, let fate do the rest. It's just gonna be few weeks, guys. So don't be afraid, and never surrender, like this song is telling us.
The time has come and so have I
I'll laugh last cause you came to die
The damage done~the pain subsides
And I can see the fear clear when I look in your eye.
~
I never kneel and I'll never rest
You can tear the heart from my chest
I'll make you see what I do best,
I'll succeed as you breathe your very last breath.
~
Now I know how the angel fell [just kneel]
I know the tale and I know it too well [just bow]
I'll make you wish you had a soul to sell [soul to sell]
When I strike you down and send you straight to hell
~
My army comes from deep within
Beneath my soul--beneath my skin
As you're ending, I'm about to begin
My strength~His bane~and I will never give in.
~
I'll tell you now I'm the one to survive
You never break my faith or my stride
I'll have you choke on your own demise
I make the angel scream, and the devil cry
~v~
My honored brethren
My honored brethren
~
We come together
We come together
~
To unite as one
To unite as one
~
Against those that are damned
Against those that are damned
~
We show no mercy
We show no mercy
~
For we have none
For we have none
~
Our enemy shall fall
Our enemy shall fall
~
As we apprise
As we apprise
~
To claim our fate
To claim our fate
~
Now and forever
Now and forever
~
We'll be together
We'll be together
~
In love and in hate
In love and in hate
~v~
They will see. We'll fight until eternity
Come with me We'll stand and fight together
Through our strength we'll make a better day
Tomorrow we shall never surrender. [X4]
~
[Whisper] We shall never surrender [X2]
uhh....I know it's kinda hellish, but I still think it's a good song.^^ I would like to say to PMR candidates, GOOD LUCK! Especially, well, you know who you are. Well, Adios Munchacho!

The Mural's done!
Sorry for the absentness awhile from the blog, I was busy. Anyways, remember that mural I mentioned? It's done!^^ I couldn't have done it without the help of my friends and the CAIS guys, you guys rock! I'll post the picture as soon as I get my hands on it, so..... wait.^^
Now, for you action movie fanatics out there, I recommend a movie called Death Race, starring Jason Statham. It's a movie about this prison running an illegal broadcast called Death Race to get their oun income. The point of Death Race is to ask potential racer/gladiators among the inmates to race to the death, win 5 races, the inmate will be set free, lose...well.....you pretty much kick the bucket in the most painful way. With fast cars, big guns and hot babes, Im sure you guys will love it as much as I did.^^ MAN! I love that Mustang! BTW, this movie is the remake of the classic movie called Death Race 2000, but the storyline is totally different, they only retained the concept of the race and the character Frankenstein.
Book lovers! If your into Science Fiction/Fantasy books and already read the Harry Potter and Twilight series and dunno what to do....the you guys should get the Maximum Ride series. It's a 4-book series, it was recommended bt a friend of mine. The plot follows the adventures of Maximum Ride, frequently refered as Max, and her group of human-avian hybrids (known as the flock), who have been the subjects of experiments leaving them 98% human and 2% bird. The experiments were conducted at a facility known as "The School", located in Death Valley, California. The flock is constantly being hunted down by Erasers, human-lupine (wolf) hybrids, that were also created at the School. The Flock works towards protecting the world from domination by mysterious figures, who have also shown an interest in their capture. The overview might not be much exciting but you guys should get the books, it's worth it. It's written by a famous author named James Patterson. The books have also been made into a manga; Japanese comics and a movie that's due to be released in 2010.
Game fanatics, you guys should go to your nearest game stall, and grab a game called Clive Barker's Jericho. It's a horror-themed 1st person shooter for the PC, PS3 and 360, it's a great game with great graphics and low requirements for the PC. The story goes that before God made Adam and Eve, he made the Firstborn, a being that's not ugly and not beautiful, not dark and not light and it has no sex. But God went overboard and made the Firstborn to powerful, so he banished it to the Abyss know ans the Pyxis Prima, a slice of reality shaped like a box buried in the Lost city of Al-Khali in the middle-east. So, the Firstborn got pissed and wants to free itself from the Box, seducing someone with evil attentions with forbidden knowledge to free him in exchange for power, and each time a 7-man team is sent to stop the Firstborn. This cycle has been going on in the Sumerian Era, The Roman Era, The Crusader's Era and the WWII Era. Now in the present time, The Firstborn is trying to escape again, seducing a evil man named Arnold Leach, so the US army send the specialized team of people with knowledge of the arcane arts called the Jericho to stop the Firstborn and Leach. The gameplay is basically tactical FPS style, the story is written by Clive Barker, of course. So you guys should get this game, it's really really good, TRUST me.
Well, that's all for now I guess, see ya!

It's not just me tho, it's like a group of 7, each ppl had different murals to do and helped each other, of course there were some accidents, and we were exhausted, but it was fun^^
i also wanna introduce you guys to a novel series called Maximum Ride, it's a 4-part book series written by James Patterson. Just wiki it for info, and their gonna make a movie of it, dunno when is it coming out tho...
For gamers, I recommend u guys to HellGate: London, I know lots of u already noe the game, but I just got it, so there! Well, Im recommending this cuz well, it's a great RPG for the PC, it's like Half-Life mixed up with Diablo in a blender and served ice-cold. With 6 Jobs to choose and a onli fuction, this should keep u amused for awhile. Go get it, it's worth it!

August 1st
Note:I just made a blog and I have no idea how to make one, talk about out-dated....
Well, yesterday was Canteen day at school, but well it was kinda dissappointing, cuz it's the most boring one... I played video games to my heart's content of course, and since I helped the guys who made the stall, I get to play free-of-charge! Hell Yeah!!!! Btw, MTV Asia Awards are tommorow! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A day before Canteen day, my class got forced to clean some ikan bilis for the nasi lemak stall by the giant-like, shouting, show-off, bitch-ass Mrs. Kang, our science teacher. Of course, being forced to do so we were pissed and lazy, but after awhile, some of us started talking about ghosts out-loud and Kang heard it, we expected her to tell us to shut the f*ck up, but she said "so...you all really wanna know about ghosts...?" we were suprised of course, then she just started to talk about true horror stories in my school...so yeah....cleaning ikan bilis at that time seems fun.
A picture of an anime character, some say this guy looks like me O.O
Seta Soji from Persona 4
