Days of Delirium

My PC (a.k.a Muchacho) desktop wallpaper has been adorned with nothing but images of the shoes that I wanted. There was the winged Jeremy Scott (got it!), the Stephen Sprouse's Louis Vuitton, the Givenchy studded gladiator sandals and many others. But from today onwards, I've reserved my wallpaper for this one game I've been waiting for oh-so-long. Blizzard, stop teasing me and just release that God damn Diablo 3 now, alright?! It's predecessor Diablo 2 has got to be my all-time favorite PC game. Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Age of Empires, Counter Strike, Star Craft, Red Alert - you can all suck it because Diablo is the bomb. I spend more than 10 hours a day playing that game back in my school days, until the CD exploded into pieces while still running in the CPU. Yeah, it was that bad. Bring up the word 'Diablo' to my family and not a single one wouldn't remember that. But, mind you, I still scored straight As during my PMR. Ehem, ehem. I was already exc...

When I first saw its review in a newspaper some time late last year/early this year, I was jumping up and down anxiously waiting to get a hold of it myself. The article was gracious on positive remarks regarding this latest installment of Tomb Raider and when I finally had the chance to experience the gameplay myself, I know they really deserve the positive feedback. Just when I thought Miss Lara Croft couldn't get any better (after playing the previous installment - Tomb Raider: Anniversary), she certainly up-leveled herself. The most notable and profound improvement has got to be the stunning, stunning visual. Everything comes alive in Underworld. The whole environment is meticulously designed to make it as realistic as possible. The trees now sway, the leaves moves, raindrops seem real, lighting effects now follow its source and so does the shadow and many more upgrades. It was really worth waiting for two years. For those who chose not to play Tomb Raider due to its numerous m...

God knows how long I've been moaning and groaning about a new PC. Seriously, the lappy which I 'inherited' from my sister is better off thrown into the sea and be made into artificial reef. Not that I'm not grateful, but standing at less than 512 RAM and less than 70Gb hard disk drive, its time has well passed. Besides, each time I brought it to any dealer or service center for repair or to reformat, they gave me a silly chuckle and refused to take it. Yes, it is that old. Since I'm not that kind of person who totes his lappy around, I guess its better for me to get a desktop PC which comes in much lower price but greater spec. Thankfully God has mercy on this bad servant of His and my dad has some pity on me. But he had drawn the line - only under RM2000. So I went around, cruising for new desktop PC. Cineleisure, Low Yat Plaza, Sungei Wang Plaza, Mid Valley Megamall - you name it. But in the end, I chose this Dell Inspiron 545s which was bought in Dell authorised...

For those who already had the chance to play and know its predecessor, Zuma, this one will only make you pant even harder. Those who haven't, I suggest you take a time off from anything that you're doing now and play this simple but addictive game. I don't know when it was even released but I just found it couple of days ago and happy to say, I LOVE IT. In Zuma Revenge, our favorite heroic frog gets stranded in a remote land and, no surprise, isn't welcomed by the natives there, including the land's six spirits. Unlike in the previous version, in this one you have to face each stage's 'boss' before you could move on to the next one. Don't worry, it's not even that hard if you're an accomplished Zuma gamer. No big deal, really. Some of the screenshots with tremendous improvements from the earlier version. Impressive, yes? One of the bosses I had to face thus far. The graphic has definitely improved a lot. There are even new power-ups, livelier...
