Stuff
Well, I have not updated this blog for a while.
Stuff that happened:
Stuff that happened:
- A lot of rain
- CBC Radio One: For some reason I found myself listen to CBC Radio a lot.
- The World Ends with You. *Open up your senses*
- Video Games Live is back. This time it is free. Imagine 5000 nerds standing in Dundas Square listening to an orchastra.
- Guitar Hero: On Tour. Heck, quite an odd game, and you cannot copy it...you HAVE to buy it!

snowboarding
Many years ago back in high school (like 2000) someone told me: "You would look cool, very cool, on a snowboard." I responded with a laugh. I was not a active person. Plus, I did not know anyone who snowboards (except a few).
Fast forward.
It is now March 2008. In 2006-07 the winter was dry - no snow at all in December 2006. Many wondered it would be the same in future. Second fewest snowfall in record.
This winter all we talk is just snow, hell lots of it. We are just 15cm short of record with one more month to go.
Also, I have been working for a year now. The company arranged a ski trip. (rather, snowboard trip - more people opted for snowboard than ski, including our COO)
Might as well try it for once - And got pwned by the board.
Maybe I should really learn snowbaording.

Today at Orbit
Well, no longer Orbit. It is Playscape now :p
So I saw MaxX, who is supposed to boycott Orbit, but apparently he is there for Maximum Tune 3. Wonder how many battle stars he got.
And Khoa, who yelled out Diu lei loh moh out of frustration when he failed the stage in IIDX. The thing is, he is not even Chinese. Very funny.

Lumines PC
For some reason Q Entertainment decided to port this game to PC, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is their delivery method.
Wild Tangent.
That company delivers *casual* game online (read - Flash). Even though Lumines actually plays like a Flash game on PC, I don't like it being actually marketed as one. Furthermore, people does not like Wild Tangent - it is accused of delivered spywares (this part is questionable however.)
Worth a try, still.

Synergy
The priest at my church mentioned synergy.
For some reason I thought of Dilbert when I hear that.

Gears of War, Manhunt 2 and J. Thompson
So one of the little girl (not even in high school yet - but I won't say the name here) I know from church posted a picture of her Facebook account:
A screenshot of Gears of War, apparently taken in her home. (the 360 is probably not hers, though - probably her friends bringing the 360 to her home and started fragging).
I ain't no Jack Thompson, but I simply cannot comprehend of such a girl like her playing Gears of War. But then, I played Doom II when I was at her age.
I don't like Jack's attitude, but he has a point. Those violent game are not for kids. And Jack won this time : Manhunt 2.
So ESRB slapped Manhunt 2 with an AO rating, effectively banning it. Personally I do NOT want the game to be published at all. The theme of the game just make me sick. Now that Jack has it. I wonder what will the outcome be. For Take Two, it might be the best to tone down the content. (No reason to mothball the project, IMO, even though I do not want to see the game)

sexual exploitation.
Not news.. unless it happens someone near you. (or used to be near you)
One of my teacher in high school was charged with sexual exploitation. Before you ask anything, no one really know the details. Sigh.

The Art of Wii
Nintendo of Canada has announced a sweeptake which gives out six Wii with different hand-painted custom skin, painted by different Canadian artists. You know, Canadian s do not see such draw often. (I like the one made by UDON artist Arnold Tsang. The one with coins, 1-up mushrooms, and pipe and the graffiti artist holding the Wiimote and nunchuk.)
As of now, almost five months, Wii (and sanity) is still in short supply. Yea many people will be signing up for the draw instead of waiting in line... whatever.... (Including me.. like I can win it :p)

Cooking Mama
A continuation from last post.
---
Yesterday I talked about Wii that is popular among females. One of the games that is a must-play is Cooking Mama. Cooking Mama was originally developed for Nintendo DS.
I heard that many females, once tried the game from their friends, immediately got addicted by the game, and eventually bought Nintendo DS themselves. In other words, the game boosted the sale of DS. The game was a sold out for a while, and as Wii was on market, the game was ported to Wii as well.
What is the game about anyway? As the name imply, cooking.
I never played the game, but had seen enough ladies playing in the subway. Saw them writing on the screen with the stylus, and on the screen was vegetables being chopped down.
Another screen was a bowl of hot water. I bet she needed to put the ingredients in at the right time. I thought what was the game so good? IF you wanted to cook, do it in your kitchen, for real.
The reality is that those female friends who are playing the game do not know how to cook. Well, similarly, those males who loves Winning Eleven, probably do not touch a soccer ball.
