and now i'm broke

woot! went to Comex 2008 @ Suntec city.. by myself yes. so poor thing right. but couldn't think of anyone to go with me.. pewi already went yesterday and daniel din wanna go. so. oh well.

Ok if you're totally ignorant (like i was till yday) , Comex, if i'm not wrong, stands for Computer Exhibition? it's the only logical thing phrase i can make out of it. Yea basically all the computer/handphone/electronics brands all come to Suntec and have a giant exhibition with many many booths.

Just some random pictures i took there:




super crowded!


Some cool racing game with 3 TVs. lol.
lazy to rotate the pics. or rather, i rotated with photobucket but it doesnt turn out rotated. so. not my fault.


oh and .. the reason why i went was because my monitor died on me! it just suddenly spoilt. :( yday was failing.. then today can't even work at all. so frustrating. so i had to go buy a new monitor!



Acer P203W , a 20" Widescreen LCD monitor =)
Sold for $259



it's biiig. here's a comparison with my old monitor:


ok not a good shot.. but there's no space to put them side by side. my old monitor is 17inch i believe.

whee. the monitor is so big! i can put like 3 medium sized windows and multitask. damn cool la. i'm gonna see what it's like to play warcraft on this monitor =) chowz


p.s. oh yes, and now i'm broke.

psych is damn funny

lol ok i recently just started watching psych again.. stopped last time cos the episodes stopped coming due to some break. i believe it was christmas break.. but omg that would mean it was last year!

haha anyway, it's still as funny as ever! there are super funny lines and shaun is still as nonchalant and funny as ever.

ok i'm just gonna quote some lines which may not seem funny cos well.. when you dont see the original it's always not as funny. but still. :

"

-when shaun and gus are in the interrogation room and they're in alot of trouble-
police chief: alright mr spencer, let me be frank --
shaun: ok, as long as i can be dean and Gus can be sammy"
and shaun and gus have some exchange about who can be who.

lol!


next:

-still in the interrogation room. shaun's dad is next to him.

police chief: mr spencer...-
shaun and dad: yes?
chief: i was referring to the older... oh oh not older i mean the less ..
shaun: less handsome? less hair? less friends on facebook?
(lol!)

dad: less nose? (cos shaun has a rather sharp long nose. but he's quite handsome k)


rofl. and these 2 are just from one episode. alot of funny lines. Psych is a damn good/funny show ! go watch!

patapon!

ok i'm SO addicted to this game that i just started playing 2 days ago.. PATAPON!



















Oh i just dont know how to describe it. it's kinda like a genre mix of a drumbeat-realtimestrategy game.

The gist of it is this: you are the Almighty, and you're in control of a group of soldiers (eyeballs, to be exact) and you must lead them to Earthend to find IT. Once you find IT, you have attained eternal bliss or SOMETHING along these lines.

To control your Patapons, you press certain buttons according to the constant drumbeat to make them execute an action. It's idiot proof, even if you totally suck at those DJ beat games, you can still play this! just that it'll be a little harder la.

There are different unit combinations of patapons you can make, and different items you can collect from defeating bosses, different materials, etc. Quite strategic actually, especially when you get stuck at a level and have to rethink your strategy. (though usually it's just cos you're not playing well enough :p so it's not THAT strategic, if you're afraid that that will bore you)

The music and sound of the game is just so addictive, those cute little patapons echoing to your drumbeat. i think the best way to let you understand is to watch a trailer.
or 2! i found 2 trailers on youtube that best summarize the game. The first one though more comprehensive, the parts where it shows the gameplay it's on the PSP screen so it looks quite small. Second one shows the gameplay more clearly, but the words on the game are in jap . (the one i play is english of course)











what are you waiting for!? if you have a PSP, go download patapon and play it now! if you dont have a PSP.... ... go get one and play ! hahah.
