They do alot of TF2 comics but also some L4D , Starcraft etc.. Good stuff.

So im not gonna lie , i havent been updating recently… infact… hardly at all.

But im not dead! (yet)

There just really isnt much to blog which is intresting , intresting being the key word here , sure i could blog and tell you guys about how i went to dimsum today and found out that my uncle and aunt have gone from single to engaged  since i last saw them… but then thats hardly intresting to normal people now is it.

Term 1 of uni starts on the 5th of october , but odds are i’ll be moving into my new accomadation around the 22nd of September so look forward to then whereby i’ll most likely actually be blogging again.

On a semi-related note…
My billing for my hosting is due soon, im kind of on the fence as to whether or not to renew…
its around £25 a year , not a huge amount but i do wonder if its worth it sometimes – i doubt many people view this blog after all…and it is kind of an effort keeping it intresting… hm.
Comment if you have anything to say…

So i played quite a bit of Shadow Complex this morning using the demo glitch (essentially lets you turn the trial into the full game , but you cant save)

Its very very awesome , it feels somewhat like if Metal Gear Solid got merged with Castlevania SoTN , which is definately a good thing.

So clearly the best thing about this game is the ‘Friction dampener’  , whoever thought this shit up deserves a medal. Essentially if you sprint in 1 direction for >5 seconds… you go supersonic – the screen blurs , the sound is like if you suddenly went underwater and your  dude just runs through people / walls / crates and generally fucks stuff up.

Graphics are very impressive for an XBLA game , as is the size of the map…

Unfortunately before i could finish the game , my glitched demo glitched on me and essentially i got stuck in an exploding building with all exits blocked – This is apparently a very common glitch at the moment , even in the full retail game and what sucks is that (according to boyce and some people on .sows anyway) its pretty much the end of the game :<
As such , havent technically finished the game.. but more or less >_>

Heres a video of the aforementioned glitch – basically im supposed to escape by running up the lift shaft… only the end of it is blocked by rubble and then… well… you’ll see.

ps. foam gun is way not as useful as you would think.

pps. Game is around 4 hours – making the 1200MS points a little expensive….

So recently i havent really been doing much , going out every now and then but for the most part have just been playing 360 and watching anime / films

Primarily been playing..
Resident Evil GC – currently finished exploring mansion and looking for way into the lab
Infinite Undiscovery – Somewhat nearish to the end i guess? Hard mode 2nd playthrough
Assassins Creed – Finished this morning 100%
Beautiful Katamari – just rollin’

Anime ive been watching.. (more info when i get round to typing it)
Dennou Coil
Karas
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Will update with some reviews or whatever when i get round to actually finishing them..

What the fuck happened there =S

You know there is a crimson head in the next room , it clawed you to death a little a few minutes ago… you escaped then but you need to go back to that corridor to go and play moonlight sonata to continue an elaborate trade system of items to reach a mansion key…

You psych yourself up.
You have 15 bullets in that beretta you’ve been WAITIN’ to shoot…
You open the door , it creaks open…

It see’s you.
it runs at you.
You see it.
You run for the closest door.
*clokclokclok*

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkk

So on the plane home I couldnt really sleep much , instead I had to pass the time by listening to music , playing sudoku and watching a movie or two..
Other than ‘Dragonball Evolution’ , I watched…

I believe yatterman is some sort of japanese superhero , I know that this is a live action movie adaptation of an anime but ive never watched the anime.. or heard of it really aside from ‘Tatsunoko VS capcom’

So the film is about some skull stones which make bad shit happen and yatterman (both of them – because the guy is called Yatterman no 1 and the girl , his girlfriend who dresses exactly as he does but in pink is called Yatterman no. 2) has to gather all the skull stones in order to not… make.. bad shit happen…

The main villains in the film then are these guys… the doronbo gang

Who are basically team rocket (but with a really hot kinky dressed jesse) , they get in yatterman’s way as much as possible by building giant mecha robots (of which the fund are gained by conning townspeople – as is shown in the film) – of course yatterman has his own defense against the giant mechas they use , in the form of yatterwoof – the giant red robot dog in the top picture

The film also has 3 songs complete with dances , one scene with a giant pole being rubbed against yatterman no.2′s vag (zoom shot too) , 3 giant enemy mechas and lots of unneccesary fanservice scenes.

This trailer video should hopefully sum the rest up.

Not sure if its because I wasnt expecting much or what but this was a genuinely really enjoyable film for me – way more entertaining than harry potter or… anything else ive watched recently (ong bak 2 im looking in your direction you big letdown you)

Ive probably already spoiled the film too much already , just go download it already.

August 5th
Koala Lumpur

Lay-in in the morning until like 11 or so then we headed out to find something to eat , we ended up in a cafe near sungei wang mall – a small Chinese cafe place. I ordered a wonton noodle soup again , we also called a ‘toast with peanut butter and condensed milk’ to share between us.

They pretty much gave us half a loaf of bread with peanut butter and nuts and all that on the top of it. Despite looking very odd it was pretty good.

We then walked around sungei wang mall and ended up in some horrible horrible girly shop with lots of useless stuff , clothes, plates , cutlery and everything crappy like that – I took a few minutes to reorganize one of the stuffed animal displays

Back to the hotel after this where we chilled out for a while , we then got picked up by my cousin and went to a flora display (the plant , not the butter)
I guess it was pretty impressive… as flowers go… Lots of different colours and styles.

I enjoyed the garden design competition entries the most , university and school students attempting to design a nice garden and such
Heres one of the better more innovative ones..

And here’s a weird garden edition of what I can only assume was something inspired by a long session of wake island.

Oh also. This plant display looks kinda like a rampant rabbit or something…

They also had lots of baby fruit and veg plants to buy which was quite intresting to see , heres a chilli plant and a pineapple plant – I had no idea how pineapples grew and assumed it would be a tree.. apparently not though.

At some point we also took a ride on this…

We rode around up the river to look at the scenery and such and then rid back , it was a nice break from staring at colourful flowers and was nice if only for the breeze it brought with it.
–insert first person boat view here-

After we finished looking at all the pretty (boring) flowers we headed to take a brief look at the sultans house or something like that , it was super huge and probably had its own post code.

We then went to the Carrefour , essentially a supermarket – nothing huge to report here.. I bought some mentos , milkybar and some kit kat ball things to eat on the plane tomorrow. One of the things different here was that they do a sort of pick and mix on biscuits and crackers and that , grab a bag and fill it with whatever you want.

Dinner was at a Chinese restaurant , we had a steamed catfish – which tastes of pretty much nothing , just generic fish meat taste :/
We also had frog , lala’s and… stuff… It was all very okay and nothing particularly special which was a shame as its our last meal in Malaysia. Ah well , can’t win em all.

August 4th
Kualar Lumpur

A slow start today , we enjoyed somewhat of a lay-in and then headed across the street from our hotel to Jalan Alor , the food market street. We dropped off some clothes for laundry and then headed to the first nice looking stall we saw which turned out to be a stall specializing in won ton mee (dumplings in noodle soup)… we ate it , it was mediocre and my stomach gave an annoyed growl in my direction – I took its hint and we ended up back in the hotel to use the toilets and such.

We then took a trip to the gym and swimming pool , my mum wanted to get her hair dyed and cut at sungei wang mall which would probably take just shy of 3 years so we swam around and had a shower before meeting her at the iCafe in Times square mall – updated the blog some and then played abit of quake 4 deathmatch with my brother.
After checking mail we went for lunch , we stopped at little Penang (or something to that effect) which is a cafe which sold Penang style food – ate a noodle soup thing.

From here we went to Low Yat plaza again , determined to buy some tech stuff… 5 floors of price comparing and stuff and I eventually came into the possession of one ‘Creative Zen’ with 2gb of internal memory and then 4gb SD card memory which came to around 300 RM total (bargained about 15 RM off) – £60 for a really nice looking mp4 player isn’t too bad imo.
I also bought a razer goliath mousemat which cost 60 RM so around £10 , I figured I may as well invest in one just in case I get a rough desk at my new accommodation like I had at uni.
To access the SD card I got for my mp3 player I also bought one of those 5000 in 1 USB card readers which was £3.

We then shopped around Sungei wang for some DVD’s and then went to Pavillion for dinner , I had a lovely Hainan chicken rice , which is basically just chicken and rice but the rice has been boiled in chicken soup stock or something to that effect , this makes the rice moist and flavoursome.
Nice as it was however it wasn’t particularly filling so I went to a shop I eyed up earlier called Mr Baoz (Bao is bun/package in Cantonese) – I bought a BBQ chicken bao , deep fried and crispy on the outside with mayo and then on the inside was BBQ flavour chicken , tasty but it had a very strong taste and was somewhat of an acquired taste – particularly the mayonnaise.

We walked around the pavilion some more and ended up finding a random outdoor covered bit in the mall , it basically just goes outside but still 6 floors and all that , very pretty..

Headed home shortly after , tomorrow is our last day :<
