changing perspectives

well, after playing my Gears of War, i am in love with the game again! :D

Very reminiscent of Resident Evil, but of course, the baddies are a bit on the extremely bad side: atmosphere really helps in a game.

So, I replayed a little bit of my PS2 with some RPGs and i had to get used to it again after a couple minutes. Interesting how our brains play non-stop for hours and our motor skills just go at it with the all the optional buttons to press. Then, switching to another controller on a completely different platform, my brain has to adjust for about a couple seconds. I was, saying, oh come on! I've been playing on my PS2 for so long, and then when i play my 360 for hours, I go and switch consoles the next day and start grumbling over the way my character is going the opposite direction. hahaha.

I suppose it's like language, or learning a new foreign tongue: if you don't use it for awhile, your brain has to switch immediately to find the path of remembering. (who has taken a foreign language long ago; maybe once or twice and never used it; while later, a few years or more, you're finding the words to formulate a sentence.) Gotta love those brain cells! (must not destroy them further by drinking too much at parties. haha)

I suppose some people will say, 'oh no, i never have that problem! i can switch consoles all day long and have no problem' well erm, i'm talking about if one doesn't touch their 'other' console for a long time, not immediately thereafter. But, i'm sure, even after long successive hours of game-playing can make a person stumble a bit, until they're used to the controllers again.

so happy!

After work, I got gears of war for my xbox 360! *yes i'm still playing halo3, but it takes me awhile, ok?* Plus, I don't wanna cry, so i'm taking that one easy,...i get way too emotionally attached to certain stories /characters i like...yes, absolutely lame.

off to play. (bliss!!)

Final Fantasy XII

Okay, so now I'm on a Final Fantasy XII stint and I've finished the game. And I've absolutely forgotten that I had an account here. *facepalm*. So I'm off to post.

Anyone who has said hello earlier, hey back!

 

I can't believe it!

I have not logged on or been at this site in forever.

I must make myself a regular now that winter is here and freezing my ass off.

I'm going to put my photo on my icon. How do you work one of these things? Ah....never mind. I'll figure it out somehow.

The girl returns!

I can't believe it. I haven't even visited this place and already the cobwebs have grown. haha! Now, I better get my behind moving, because I've got so much to catch up. Playing video games all summer? Next to cycling and swimming? Better than orgasms.

Hope everyone else is having a sweet summer *blows a kiss*

Suppose to Xbox halo

Ok, just a quick update on that. Good shoot 'em up game. Superb action with a shoddy storyline similar to other sci-fi action films, but with an edge. The year is 2552. Earth still exists but many citizens lived in other planets for colonization.32 years before, was the first contact with aliens.Basically, humans are being eliminated.kind of sad really. Hmm, no wonder we need to populate. Think about the possibilities of reaching the stars.

hell freezes over in parts of the world

Russia is experiencing really really bad weather right now.

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WEATHER/01/21/russia.cold.ap/index.html

If anyone is interested. Gas heaters being used alot, so much that some have exploded.Where was the time when people could just sit in an igloo and warm up? The eskimos knew how to keep warm didnt they? Use cold against cold?

The secret to warmth in an igloo is the fact that snow and ice are very good insulators. I have heard that, between body heat and one or two oil lamps, people can keep a relatively comfortable temperature (say, 10-15o C) inside. You won't be able to run around nude, but with warm clothing you'll do alright. http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/dec97/873309099.Ph.r.html

Still cold, but it should keep you all alive. yes, boring blog but this was interesting. Next blog, my reading on X-box's kick ass "HALO"!

whale in the thames

This is the kind of exciting news I like, but sort of curious too!

There's a whale in the River Thames! First time recorded in human history.

marine biologists are suggesting that it may be because the whale is going to commit suicide. >_>

Or that he's/she's come to eat. As in the 70's the river thames was virtually uninhabited by wildlife. Now, they've got some species in there. They're trying to push the whale out of the thames and into the sea.

Maybe the whale wants to make his/her home in the Thames, have they thought about that? Why are humans always interferring? Sometimes, i wonder if its a good thing.

dna

Storylines that concern DNA are the most interesting EVER!That's all I have to say today. People really need to understand DNA though. I swear. A century ago, people were ignorant to why there were deformed babies and elephant men. *shakes head* and why people have certain diseases. Today, although progress has made some impact, the funny part is, there are people who try to mis use it too. Ugh!

Oh and Merry f**king Christmas to you all.

Happy the F8k New year.
