COD : Ghosts Redux

Ok, Yes, COD Ghosts sucks. The guy they're trying to push as the main baddy doesn't even look threatening, just looks like some old American guy... gosh, most boring villain ever.

And the ending.... OMG... even MW2's ending wasn't so bad. BLOPS2 even had better writing.... well it leaves a door open for a sequel definitely. So Ghosts 2 will let you what, control 2 dogs? And the dog thing is overrated.. what you see in those trailers is about how much you'll interact with the dog in the game. I really wonder how some websites review their games nowadays... most probably paid off by the developers.

 

Bleah. I think COD for me was at it's peak at the first MW.... even BLOPS was cheesy fun. Everything after that is just a generic shooter.

 

6/10.. just for some generic shooter on rails parts which were ok. I'm being pretty generous here!

T-50 Pak-Fa

Sweeeet. New paint scheme! Akula? Looks a bit like some Havoc/Hokum paint scheme I've seen before.. maybe to be used in the Baltics....

 

COD : Ghosts

Hmmmm, just started playing COD : Ghosts, and am into the later half of the game already.... and man, is the COD series getting worse or what? Seriously, if I didn't read about it, I wouldn't have known a lot of the scenes are recycled from the previous COD games.... I was playing the underwater level last night... when I realized it was set out the exact same way as Black Ops II was! Even with the stupid sonar ping thing and all! OMG.....

 

Anyway, the game is pretty clichéd already, and the storytelling is weak. It's like, you know, the developers know they can stuff this poor quality drivel down people's throat every year.. and people still lap it up.... gosh, the state of games nowadays... GTAV is pure literature compared to this haha!

 

Hey, an idea! How about an open world COD? First dibs! I should get royalties! :p

 

Final impressions when I complete the game!

Midweek Humor!

Almost to Friday! This is a good watch haha! :p Yes, the screenshot explains a lot.... ;) Love this series!



Ode to Sazabi...

Oh Sazabi, why do you instill such gunpla lust in me? Even though I try so hard to shy away from you? More importantly, why are your arms still so ridiculously longish? :p

 

Battlefield 4 - Single Player Campaign impressions.

So just had the time to complete the SP mode of BF4... and lordy me, it's even worse than BF3, i'll say that straight off the bat. At least BF3 had a focused story line from point A to B, linear yes, but at least easy to follow. Play BF4, and you'll see that story jumping back and forth, and time skipping for no reason... ok, so maybe there's a novel out there which covers all the loose ends, but it's just jarring in the game.

 

There's also our favorite Russian there, placed there for no reason other than a plot device to get the player out of jail? Why was he even there in the first place? OMG... Also, too much focus on the 'Irish' guy, he got irritating after a while, too emo and whiny for a MARSOC guy. (Actually, who ARE these guys? Not Tier 1 for sure)

 

Well, at least the graphics are nice. The game crashed on me only twice during SP, so I should count myself lucky!

Monday!

Woo! 1 month to X'mas! Was over at RWS at the weekend, stayed over at Hard Rock Hotel which wasn't too shabby. Man, that place is a MESS. Definitely catered to 'other' people if you get my drift... Eeeewwww.... fun to walk around a bit, but this ain't the Sentosa I grew up knowing; it's now a fetid playground for the rich with all the homes and clubs coming around that place. No privacy too anymore since any joker can pay and drive into the place. Sad how far the place has dropped! :p

TGIF!

And it's only like, 4 more weeks to X'mas? There are still a lot of things to do though! At least the tree is up, although I have not put up most of the decorations..... LEGO stuff not up too! :p Booo...

Back to toy news, the MG Sazabi is looking good... should be out year end?

 

Sideshow 1/6 Nathan Drake

Didn't know this was being produced, but it looks pretty good! HT should have picked up this license, maybe they did have a hand in it?

 

Fan's choice Masterpiece Transformer

And the winner issss.....

Star Saber! :p

 

MGS V Interview - Yoji Shinkawa

If I was him... I'd be very distracted!

 

Star Citizen - Anvil Aerospace

Ah, such nice flashbacks to WC Prophecy and the space sims of the past, then a sudden sadness hits me; you KNOW they can do a glorious X-WING game on PC... but.... who knows? Anyway, Star Citizen looks awesome for a crowdfunded game! It's nice to know there are people who still love this genre... this and the Homeworld remake. :)

 

X'mas light up at Gardens!

Wow, just realized I was posting to the wrong blog! Well, better late than never! :p

 

-------------------

 

Today was the official light up for myVillage at gardens, went along with wifey and the boy to partake in the activities and soak up the atmosphere! There was also some karaoke thing going on at the carpark next to the bus stop.... So happening today! Luckily it didn't rain!

 

Diablo 3 : Ultimate Evil Edition

Yeah! Ultimate evil for making me buy it on the PS3 then switching it to the PS4! Boooo..... well, probably gonna buy it anyway since I've been enjoying the console version much more than the crap PC one.... anyway here's a sneak!

 

The PS4 Makes its debut!

Wow, this is darn cool! PS4 launches in the US today! Haha, it's sooo tempting.... look at this video!

 

TGIF!

Woooo! Rainy Friday! :) Again nice to sleep in. Remember this series Fatal Frame? Man, it's now a download on the PSN store for the PS3.... and it's cheap... but... fark, that game always creeped the hell outta me! O mean, look at that cover! Brrrrr.... always hated that cover.

 

OMG Grammar Nazi's!

Did I spell that correct? Haha! :p

 

CM's Transformers

Cool, CM's Corp is releasing the suit that Spike's son Daniel wore in TF : The movie. I dun think this would be something that Takara would ever release hehe.

 

Batman meets two-face

Wahaha! :p This is like, Batman's dyslexic brother or something... then again, there's been another Batman in the news hehe.

 

Thorsday! A perfect day..

Yes, a perfect day to sleep in bed at home! Man, it was raining since last nite, it would have been perfect to sleep in today... but... alas, work calls. :p This vid from Sony was... unexpected? It's farnie in that sense, I can imagine if everyone was just smiling and singing on the battlefield... :)

 

Attack of the drones! Cool video! :)

Oh  man, they can control these quadrotors so precisely! Imagine when it's applied to the military.... :p

 

Kai Arts Robocop 1.0

Hmm, I actually think the 1.0 ver looks better than the Black 3.0 one. :) I wonder how it evolves though, guess have to wait for the movie to see!

 

PS4 Unboxing Video

Well, at least the cheapos give the HDMI and USB cables now, which honestly speaking, doesn't cost much in bulk really.

 

6 weeks to X'mas!

OMG, Monday's here already? As the weather slowly gets cooler here, i guess everyone's slowly getting into the swing of preparing for the year end celebrations... i for one aim to have the tree up by next week.... i hope!

Well, the weekend was spent mostly lazing about at home with the kiddies and playing the PS3.... man, the PS4 is sureeee starting to look gooood... :p

TGIF! Robocop Redux

Friday woohoo! This week seemed to pass slowwweeerrr than usual somehow. Maybe it's because the Earth has slowed it's spin as the year end approaches... or that's my theory anyway! Well, most places have the X'mas deco up, and X'mas songs piping through the speakers. Time to get in the mood woohah!

I think movie season should be coming to an end now, next major movie will be the 2nd part of The Hobbit movie, then most of the major movies will be out next year. Star Wars EP VII will be out Dec 2015.. man, didn't think i'd see this day come!

Also, trailer 2 for the new Robocop is out, pretty cool! Even though it's a remake, they have to make it as a standalone movie, and not tag on to the legacy of the previous Robocop, as that's a hard act to follow, and also a movie made for a previous age. :)

 

Thor : The Dark World

As someone who found the first Thor movie entertaining and refreshing, it was with a little trepidation that I watched the second Thor movie. I was afraid it was going to be like Iron Man, which didn't really live up to the impact the first movie had.

 

Thankfully, the movie was surprisingly good, with a running time of 120 minutes, you won't realize that two hours have passed as the pacing is relentless, barely leaving you a moment to catch your breath till the next set piece arrives.

 

The interaction between the actors is great, real screen chemistry. Loki was awesome as usual, and some plot twists here and there which I didn't really see coming. :) Most of the movie is spent away from Earth this time, and maybe they got a bigger budget cos Asgard looks better this time round. The scenery does leave me with a bit of a Lord of the Rings feel though. :p

 

The only downer was the bit after the first credits run... It felt... cheap and out of place after the lush vistas the were presented previously.. I know its a tie in to the next upcoming movie, but was it necessary? No wonder even the director hated it and made clear it was the studios who put it there and not him!

 

Oh, and stay AFTER that for one more extra scene. :)

Midweek!

It's a slow day, but this video really made me laugh and grin like an idiot in front of my computer! :p

 

Star Wars Bloopers!

Haha, this is the best! :p

 

Metal Build ARX-8 Laevatein

Hmmm, wonder how much metal will actually be in this thing? But cool that they're branching out to make different items tho! This is from the series "Full Metal Panic", which is an anime series based off a novel. The mecha here is more real-world compared to fantasy giant robos; closer to Patlabor than Gundam. :)

 

Happy Birthday klyn!

Ahh, how time flies, it's been 365 days since my baby girl was born, and she turns one today! And already tottering around the house, getting her hands on everything and anything she can! :p

Happy Birthday my baby girl! :)

TGIF!

What? It's November already? OMG X'mas is next month! :p Weather's been crazy here; hot in the afternoon and storms in the evening. Right now it looks like nighttime out the window!

 

Anywayz, there's gonna be 6" Stormie from the Black Series, looks good from the product pic below! Uh oh, I can already hear the scalpers wanking over the pics and camping at the stores! Well, a bit too early, since it's probably on out early 2014!
