Well it's about time! :)

One game i spent countless hours on during my secondary school days was "X-wing" (1993) by then indie game studio Lucasarts. I remember running it on my old 486-SX25 with 8MB (Yes, 8MB) ram.. did i mention it was run from (five) 3.5" diskettes? CD-ROM technology was only emerging then, and only much later on the compilations did they release it to CD.

Xwing was followed by Imperial pursuit and Bwing; the graphics then were revolutionary, (well, to me at least) the music was great and it handled flawlessly... It was followed by the equally successful TIE fighter game series, then Xwing vs Tie fighter and finally stopped at Xwing Alliance (Which i have yet to complete).

It's been like, over 10 years? And FINALLY, a good piece of news... with today's technology, it's about time!!!

Check it out. :)

CThulu Rises!!! 6 Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain

Check this out, too cool man! Scary is that there's technology or materials that shouldn't be there, and with all our technowizardry nowadays, we can't even explain it!

Excerpt " The Voynich manuscript is an ancient book that has thwarted all attempts at deciphering its contents. And it's not like some idiot just scribbled a bunch of nonsense on paper and went, "Figure THIS out, fuckwads." It is actually an organized book with a consistent script, discernible organization and detailed illustrations."

Also check out this and this! ;) Good reads.

Ahhh, what better way to promote the game Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. ;) I especially like the guy who was still reaching out to the 'board' while his gf pulled him away, and the guy who gingerly stroked it... ;)

Watch here.

Just a dream...

Had a pretty disturbing dream recently, this happened Saturday afternoon while i was taking a nap. I dreamt i was in this big shopping centre, atypical of your suburban malls. I was a circular mall, and i was going up this escalator. I remember beign there to buy some books, it was quite bright in the mall.

Suddenly, my 'phone' rang, and i saw that it was my buddy who called me, so i answered with a 'yoz what's up!'.

There was a pause, and i heard his voice, almost breaking, but saying : "my mum passed away ben"... i was really shocked, and felt sick to the stomach... i woke up shortly after, and almost immediately SMS'ed him, before realising it was just a dream.

I still felt kinda ill after that, like my mind was telling me something like that happened. Well, i believe that all of us will pass one day. The day will come when my own parents, siblings and relatives will all pass to the other side.

But in dreams, death is only symbolic. It usually means change or growth in some way... buddy, didn't mean to freak you out man, sorry about that!

Home Sweet Home!

Decided to take a break from work, a well deserved rest for my wife and myself! Off we went for 3 days to BanyanTree Bintan... nice place! Pace is slow.. relaxing.. the location was nice too. :) Great view of the ocean. Must remind myself to take more holidays.. life's not all about work! ;)

Gone too soon...
