The problem I have with sequels is that often it leads to a trilogy. For some reason, Hollywood thinks that making sequels are a good idea, and they’re probably right as they rake a buttload of money. I really liked the first Transformers, so much so I watched it twice at the movies. It was [...]

Meeting your avatar’s death is inevitable in a video game. A simple mistake in judgement, a mistimed jump, a poor weapon selection are some scenarios a player can face and ultimately meet their doom. The problem with death is not that it happens, it’s the way that the game mechanics deal with death. Death in [...]

I really liked their EP Persona and their album Themeta but haven’t really listened to Sound Awake that much, on initial listens I [...]
Read the rest of this entry »I’m trying a new wordpress template out, Arthemia 1.0 by Michael Jubel Hutagalung, available here. I think it is much more readable, navigated easier, and better use of colours. I really love that wordcloud on the right there, it’s magic. I don’t plan on putting advertisements up, even if I did, I wouldn’t know how [...]
Read the rest of this entry »The hangover is a pretty mindless comedy, the ultimate Vegas bachelor party goes wrong when the soon-to-be-ex-bachelor goes missing, and no one remembers it. It’s got very funny moments, but on the whole it’s a rather meh movie. Probably give it a miss if you’re tight with movie, and just get it on “video” later. [...]

We went to the Bavarian Bier Cafe before hand, and I had some taste platter, and it was delicious. I cannot wait go to Germany and eat copious amounts of sausages and sauerkraut.
I’m going to [...]
There’s something about public holidays that I really like. Could be the day off we get from work, and not really about the celebration. It is quite strange this year, how ANZAC day was not celebrated with a public holiday (as it fell on a weekend day) and Queen’s birthday is celebrated as a public. [...]
Read the rest of this entry »I love Ladytron. I love the very pretty girls in it, the irregular meaningless lyrics, electroclash style with deep basslines and rhythmic drumming, uses of synthesiser backed with a mix of English and Bulgarian vocals. I really love their album work. However live, it’s a different story.
For those who haven’t heard the story of Ladytron [...]
