Dead Space


Have finally decided to complete Dead Space and done so just 5 minutes ago.

The only reason why I did not want to touch it was due to the mouse lag issue and I did not want to proceed on with Dead Space 2 without playing the first one.

It's a bitch but there's also a small solution for it.

For people who does not know it yet all you have to do is to lower your in game mouse sensitivity to the lowest and up your mouse DPI/sensitivity to the highest available.

It's not perfect but still gets the job done.

There's only 2 complains I have.

Even with the small solution to the mouse lag I still get dizzy easily.
Any rigid camera movements and that's it for me.
Not only I feel sick - I also feel angry - because I simply dislike ported games with no fix to the issues.

Then the communication from the Rig suit.
That's probably the only thing that startled me.
I personally find it irritating as it's like a phone call without you being able to press answer and it just pops up.

I also personally find Kendra both irritating and annoying.
Thank goodness at least she was out of the picture finally at the end.



Time to move on to Dead Space 2.
Looking forward to it later as my friend told me it does not have the mouse lag issue so I should not have much problem going through the game in preparation for Dead Space 3!

Yep!

Dead Space 3 is coming out in Feb 2013 soon and I can't wait.



Especially since I have Mass Effect 3 I really want to play it with the N7 armor =D

Tried the Demo today with my friend on PS3 console and its pretty good.

Just that it's a very short demo.



And dear EA origins...

What's the point of giving the original Dead Space for pre-order players who owned it?
=/

And till now there's no patch to fix the mouse lag on PC.

"Great job".

The Disclaimer


 I do have to agree with their point 10 though.

Think about it.

Which kind of corporate association in Singapore dare to directly dis their customers?

Maybe in their backs but certainly not in social media~

Many people do not realize that they have been trolled in this fake Facebook & Twitter account until at the very last moment.

Though this is the internet and they are simply joking around sometimes it would be better if they could censor the victim's name.

Some people ain't accustomed to getting trolled and joked at.

Some complain that the jokes are racist - but it's actually more towards stereotype.


Anyway, they did another funny cover for their Facebook.

In truth, their first one with the army photo was probably one of my favorite.

And to people that are still unable to differentiate the real and the fake - take a good look at their logo.

It does not take a rocket scientist to solve the problem.

Reckless Lorry Driver - Shame on you!

I actually wanted to go sleep after my previous post but after watching a certain video clip...

Let's just say I am currently like this:


The video is almost a week old and it has already gone viral.

To tell you the truth I am actually surprised that the driver had it recorded - kudos to the helpful fella!



Oh come on!

Would it KILL you to wait for a better and safer timing first before attempting to take over that motorcyclist?!

It would actually seem like the motorcyclist is road hogging but look at the video in front of the motorcyclist - she was actually at a safe distance behind another vehicle.

Not all motorcyclist enjoy zip zapping through lanes because they know how dangerous it is.

Look at the distance the car driver who took the video maintained.

Look at the distance the other vehicles on the other lanes maintained between one another.

Look at the distance of that damn lorry - I do not notice the appropriate safe gap for vehicles on the expressway going on at a reasonable high speed!

It should be quite pressurizing for the motorcyclist.

Imagine you yourself on a bike with a damn lorry urging behind you to "hurry up" when you simply can't or do not have the option to do so.

Then the biker gets rammed.

Tsk!

More car accidents AGAIN!

Even if he did manage to take over it's still square one - there's the other car in front.

What's the lorry driver gonna do?

Attempt another take over?

-

Alright fine, the uncle stopped and "tried to help?"

So to make himself look better?

The damage has already been done - fine.

Would it actually also KILL him to shade the INJURED party from the sun?

Who was in more need of a help due to the accident?

-

This is Singapore.

An urban small island city country.

A barely visible small dot on the world map.

Not the big country/state/province with long wide roads.

Please be more considerate.

Singapore is already over crowded with other issues.

Stop making more problems that can be avoided!

-

Singapore is safe - yes - from most natural disasters like typhoons/cyclones/hurricanes simply because Singapore is located near the equator and they do not travel across the Earth's equator due to Coriolis force.

However, Singapore is definitely not safe from inconsiderate and insensitive retards with no patience.

-

Too bad for you uncle.

Singapore is indeed small.

Small enough that anything that's been dug up will follow through to the end.

(Most of the time)

Not to mention - your face was also caught on video.

-

Let's hope that the situation was judged fairly for both sides.

But then again - personally - I still view that the fault lies with the damn Lorry driver.


But that is only just my opinion =/

Karma shall answer to the truth~

Sona still a virgin. This time - without boots!


Last game of the night, or should I say morning!

And my Sona had no boots!

LoLx...

In truth, I have forgotten to buy it!

=P

Was too sleepy.

Plus nowadays I buy sightstone and pink wards combo because buying Oracle now just ain't worth it.

And because of my shopping combo money slips off quite fast @_@

To the point that I totally neglected my boots.

But luckily thanks to Sona's skill E - I can actually keep up quite well.

Or maybe I am just too sleepy to realize that I am actually moving slowly.

Off I go to my bed!

Nope, games do not make us violent.

If you still ain't got a clue what is this about click on the link.



Well, lag does make us violent.

Faulty products, bugs and network issues too.

Not to forget sometimes it is due to player differences.

Some people just do not like certain types of people.

It's normal even in society no?

And yes - racist players are also present in video game community.



I for one get pissed off easily whenever I encounter laggy game sessions.

It simply just kills the mood.

Straight from being happy to being extremely down and low.

Who would like it when you simply can't control what you want to do properly?





As well as people who likes to complain that video games makes us player more violent.

Other than that - most of us are fine actually.




 The gaming community do consist of players like this though.



Well...

Though FB games ain't exactly video games they are still games.

But if those hardcore FB gamers were to actually play a game like Diablo 3?

I have no doubt their farming ability rivals the China farmers.

No offense to people who do not understand - I was referring to China in-game money farmers and the likes.

Then again I do not see them planting more trees and flowers for Earth.

Neither do they plant crops.

If there is please put them on the News aye.

We would very much love to see them.

Serious.



Not exactly close enough but Ecstasy anyone?

More commonly known as the Shake Head pills and music helps with the effects.



We, the gamers simply enjoy playing games.

Just how is this linked to another gun massacre that America has and always had since before the era of video games?

Stop trying to find something to blame the issue.

As I recalled, previously it was the Dark Knight movie.

Sometimes people become violent due to society craps and they end up with a different persona.



In the end it's the environment - the place where one has grown up and experience in affects them. Not just video games alone.

Why don't you guys who love to complain so much for a scape goat look into a mirror and dare say you did not do anything verbally, mentally or physically damaging to another person's life even when you are still a kid?

I pretty much am sure you don't care because for you it's simply the case of toying around with ants when you have the option to do so.



As mentioned we simply like what we do.

Most of us usually have the same routine during holidays.

Of course we have to go to school or work.

We also go out and meet with friends and gatherings and events and sometime shopping.

Yes - shopping.

Depending on the person it may be online shopping.

Else how are we gonna sate our gaming needs?

We do need our gaming supplies.

But that does not mean we are lifeless.



Our life in society is so restricted.

We only have one single life to live on but why not experience something we definitely aren't able to enjoy in real life?

We get to have our acquired different persona while gaming.

We get to experience many different stories.

We cry when the story is just so heart breaking or when our favorite character had to die.

We make new friends online and share the gaming adventures and experience.

We laugh at the funny scenes or mistakes that we make.

We simply still live like a normal human except that we want to experience more things in life.

That's true for everyone no?

Minus the fact you have to spend money everywhere you go.

Might as well sit in front of my consoles and at least see them with my own eyes.



And from common contrary beliefs from the past, games do not make gamers stupid or lazy.

If that is so then babies or kids are gonna be bored to death before they can grow to become at least a teenager from which this point they are no better than a machine.

Some games do require fast decision making and reaction fyi.



Stop trying to label what we enjoy as so.



Because you simply tick us in the wrong way.

Where's the Toilet?


It appears that our dear Malp does not know how to read sign.

Best Backdoor ever! Fnatic vs SK! [Best Match ever!]


Epic!

That was a really cool back door move by Kassadin.

Time for me to find the other videos.

Too much spring cleaning and I AM NOT DONE YET!

T_T

Cleaning is fine. Fast.

But tidying is the worst.

It eats the most amount of time.

@_@

Spring Cleaning!


Current equipment
  • vacuum cleaner
  • mold stain remover
  • magician wiper
  • pledge wood polish
  • handy duster
State of room: half-done @_@

And now the ladder still sits in my room.

Cleaning the wall is so tiring!

I took down the old clock and plan to get a new one.

Other stuff includes throwing away useless boxes lying around my room -_-

My mum sure likes to give them to me.

Story of the day - do not attempt to clean room ceiling @_@

It's a killer...

Now I am thinking if I should look for some ceiling wallpaper.

Hmmm....

12 more DoTA 2 invites to give away




Whether you are a fan or not, if you want a go at DoTA 2 do leave me a comment here or IM me via FB for your Steam ID so I can add and gift it to you.

DoTA 2 is free to play but currently only players with the invites are able to play the game after downloading it off Steam.

Or you could simply sign up for beta run and see if they allow you to access it.

Else you could spend 30 bucks for an early access bundle which includes the following in game items:
  • A Boar courier
  • Swordmaster of the Vigil bundle for Sven
  • Traveler on the High Plains bundle for Juggernaut

Why is this so?

Because the game is still in beta phase.

Straight from Wikipedia -
Dota 2 is an upcoming multiplayer online battle arena video game being developed by Valve Corporation and the stand-alone sequel to the popular Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne. Formally announced on October 13, 2010, via Game Informer,[2] the game is currently available for early test access purchase, with a free-to-play business model when released.[3] Dota 2 will be released via download by Valve's content delivery platform Steam, on which the game has been developed to run exclusively for both release and update delivery.[4] Dota 2 will run on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.[2]
Dota 2 consists of session-based online multiplayer activity, with the primary objective of each match being for teams to destroy their opposing team's fortified stronghold. Each player controls a player character called a "hero", who is given the responsibility of participating in team combat, which generally takes place along a series of lanes that connect their opposing bases, lined with defensive towers. The gameplay elements are largely incorporated from Defense of the Ancients, with the game's lead designer, IceFrog, being the longest-serving and current developer of the Warcraft III mod.[2]

P.S: First come first serve!

Happy 2013!


OKOK.

Dear me. I almost have completely forgotten my blog!

Anyway, feeling sick and down for a week is so tiring >.<

95% recovered and I just need to live out the coughing.

I will try to have a meaningful update next time =P

In the mean time, to all my friends currently studying in Secondaries, JCs and Polys: NO MORE SCHOOL FOR ME!!!

Woo hoo!!!

Or not.

Finding a job that you really want and like is not easy when it's a rare type in Singapore >.<

Oh gosh.

If it keeps up I am going bonkers @_@

No wait.

Actually I might have already went bonkers while playing LoL since last night.

Felt down and lost and uncertain.

Like mental dullness. *touch wood*

What job am I looking for specifically?

Game Tester.

Yes, it is RARE in Singapore =(

For those interested, Ubisoft is hiring now!

You can apply via JobStreet too!

Hope those who also really wants it gets it!

And don't make a stupid mistake like me forgetting to attach my cover letter and then clicked on the Withdraw link as I wasn't feeling confident.

Then again, I created another account to do another submission.

Not being able to think straight for now makes me kinda go carefree a bit more.

What's the worst even if I submitted twice to the same job?

I won't get the job but I have nothing to lose either.

It would be worst if I did not try at all.

Which means it's time I spam a bit more of my resume on the job sites.
