German Coach Joachim Loew

Do it in the changing room, yucks!

Samba De Amigo

Does he really have to dance (shake his ass) like this in the arcade? Maybe's he's using it as a stress outlet or some weird issue buy hey, everybody needs a friend like him who can afford to be a total idiot in public and be nonchalant at all.

By the way, this is the song that was played every time a goal is scored during Euro 2008.

100% Club

Bragging Rights post! Ha ha...

I finally returned to complete the full 100% of Grand Theft Auto IV after taking a hiatus from the story mode and Metal Gear Solid 4.

It's funny how this certification from RockStar is more satisfying than the outstanding serviceman cert from the Air Force 3 years back...

Weekend Hoot

PlayStation Magazine - July 2008

The shiny foil cover caught my attention. What else but old man Solid Snake on the cover of this month's mag. Can't help it but grab me a copy of it

I have cut down my spending on all mags and only buying on an irregular basis depending on the featured content.

Heavenly Sword

Released some time back around September 07 but I haven't had to chance to play it. Got it at a discount.

Cheapo Disk Enclosure

To house my original PS3 60GB hard disk that was lying around after I upgraded my Ps3 to a whopping 250GB. After "enclosing" it and properly formatted, this would become an extra external portable hard disk.
Good for use with my new HP mini note that I will be getting next month.

All Hope Is Gone

It’s been three or four years since Slipknot released Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and it's been that long a time since I've suffered enjoyed the aftermath of their performance here is Singapore. Anyway, Slipknot’s new single ‘All Hope Is Gone’ is available for official download at http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/allhopeisgone

another cheater retailer

Just yesterday I mentioned of an unethical retail store in Lot 1.

There's another one even worse today! Cyb******** from Compass Point sold this guy a used PlayStation 3 as a new unit (at full retail price) and what's worse, it's one with a lens problem. Actually, I read and posted my advise in the particular thread few days before as he is a new GAX forum member. This issue was subsequently upped in STOMP.

We should really blast retailers like these to caution ill-informed people.

Update:
Anyway, this was the damage control reply from them on 20/06/08.

Special Price?

I was with Tai yesterday at Lot 1, walking aimlessly looking for any new stuffs in gaming and comics when I noticed that this particular game shop (not gonna ''proclaim'' the name of the shop coz u can basically narrow down yourself as there are few gaming related shops in Lot 1) is have have a 'Special Price' sticker on $9.90 on the Devil May Cry 4 Special DVD.

this is the exact DVD (my own copy) being marked at a 'Special Price' of $9.90

Wow, $9.90! It's pretty cheap and worth is for fans of the Devil May Cry game or anime series.

That's right, it's 'NOT FOR SALE'! This special DVD was from the PlayStation 3 Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition for the Asia region. I bought the special edition of the bluray game sometime this Jan or Feb and this was BUNDLED with the special edition of the game!

Isn't it unethical and a whole new low to separate it and sell off as a separate item? To confirm my doubt, I checked the retail price of the now-separated bluray game and yes, at normal full retail price. And to be totally honest, this shop does not have the best pricing of it's' products as compared to its competitors in this market.

Any uninformed gamer or anime fan of this series would have been tricked/lied/misrepresented/misplaced their trust in this rather reputable shop. Do u have to scoop to that level for a mere $9.90? Mind you, I saw quite a number of this DVD on 'sale' separately! Well, at least now I understand how this shop does its business.

Current collection

Someone asked me this morning what PS3 games I have and I could only mentioned those few that I'm currently ''high'' on.

A closer look at my shelves and the following are what I have till date. Just sold off my Euro 2008 yesterday though.

David Villa!

My in-game David Villa and Spain gameplays from UEFA Euro 2008 on PlayStation 3

EA SPORTS™ Football World: PORTUGAL - SPAIN 0 - 2

My David Villa's wonderful screamer in Captain Your Country mode

EA SPORTS™ Football World: SPAIN - N. IRELAND 2 - 0

David Villa - Captain Your Country mode

EA SPORTS™ Football World: DENMARK - SPAIN 1 - 5

David Villa - Captain Your Country mode

EA SPORTS™ Football World: SPAIN - ENGLAND 2 - 0

Spain - Euro 2008 Tournament mode

It's amazing how EA's FIFA series and the UEFA Euro 2008 spin off improved over the years.

Human Cargo

This reminds me of yesterday when I was traveling from Queenstown to Kaisiong's place for dinner. Though the journey was short but it was damn crowded at bout 6.30pm, perhaps due to the masses returning from the PC Show at Suntec.

I dread the day when our MRT becomes what was shown in the following video, especially during the peak hours.



oh mine! precious stuffs and parts are being squashed! 3 or 4 conductors ''packing'' per cabin?! Madness.

iPhone 3G

Apparently, SingTel is taking reservation for the upcoming iPhone 3G to be available soon here in Singapore. Didn't know this until I stumbled upon the SingTel page. I was a loyal SingTel customer since secondary school until last year. It's actually a big woo-ha considering we don't pre-order or reserve phone here.

Should I?? Did some reading off the net and realised that iPhone 3G is merely iPhone 2.0 with the inclusion of GPS, ability to support 3rd party apps (legally) and a slightly improved battery life. The lack of basic stuffs like MMS and voice recording is still a bumper.

I will get 1 eventually but right now? nah... not in such as hurry as to reserve 1 via SingTel. It's a matter of time before it will be available for the other Telco. Right now I still prefer my 5 mega pixel LG Viewty :)

It's on Starhub. My cable and broadband are on Starhub as well coz greater cost savings overall as a Hub club member plus its easier to manage by consolidating all the 3 services under 1 telco.

Farewell Potluck

no sad no sad

Metal Gear Solid 4!

No f-ing way! I just got a copy of the long waited Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns Of The Patriots earlier this evening! That's right, 1 day before the worldwide release on 12 June 2008.

The New Paper dated 11 June 2008 as prove!
