Rocking on Guitar Hero III

Guitar Hero, the game that has proven so popular even until its third installment. These music based games are fun, mimicking musical instruments by tapping buttons according to the beat. It's fun and can test your reaction time pretty well. Usually, I would play such games if they have a good music library. But I never played Guitar Hero before. Not the first nor the second. Why? Because of the fact that you can't get the guitar here in Brunei when it was out for the PS2 without ordering. So it was quite a turn off.

Now, it's a different story. More and more original games are coming into the country. And more and more games are making their way online. Guitar Hero III promises extra downloadable content via PSN and Xbox live and even now, new tracks are already available, such as Foo Fighters, for download. That, and the inclusion of a wireless guitar, made me put GHIII on the top of my most wanted list of games this November. And I finally got my wish.

Today, with my brother, we bought, not one, but two GHIIIs for our PS3s. And playing multiplyer rocks! Heck, my fingers are still aching for the whole afternoon of playing GHIII.


One thing I hate about the guitar is the use of AAA batteries. Yes, no recharging via USB. Which means, you got to stock up on batteries, just like the Wiimote. Annoying.

But all in all, GHIII is fun! And with the great music library, online play, promise of continuous DLC, this is the Guitar Hero to own! Let's rock baby!

Zorro, The Cat

I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT MUCH other than for work and grocery shopping so I don't really have that many things to share or post. But I was just playing with the new kittens this afternoon and I remembered photos I took of this one cat of ours who's really afraid of people. We call it Zorro, and from the photo, you'll know why. I just want to catch it and play with it. But the little thing just gets too angry too quickly. Just look at her! Yes, she's female.

Deepest Junction of All

HERE's SOMETHING REALLY AMAZING. Went to Kg... okay, I can't quite remember the name of the place. I think it was Kapok? Or Katok? It's somewhere around Mata-Mata, Gadong. Correct me please.

Anyway, had to drop off someone with JuLeZz after an afternoon spent selecting costumes for JuLeZz's upcoming play, MacBeth (to which you can view the album here). And on the way, we came upon junctions after junctions after smaller junctions that the simpang number became extremely long that the dashes (or hypens) turned to dots! Ah~ what a systematic way to lead the blind.

I wonder how the address would look like on paper? Imagine having to fill that in in forms! Heck, imagine trying to remember that! I wish those people living there good luck.

Unexpected Beauty

TOOK THESE A WHILE BACK, during Ramadhan.

I'm in the middle of trying to post more here. I haven't been active with my photography lately. I've been busy with marriage life and work. I've mostly been updating my multiply page and BruGamers, keeping up to date with gaming news. Gonna try to post more from now on if I get to.

Parties For The Kids

It's always fun when a kid's birthday is welcomed with a huge celebration - games here, parties there - heck, a huge fireworks display was even set up since it's still Hari Raya. I remember celebrating my birthdays like that (without the fireworks) years ago - ofcourse, I was still young. At my age now, to have such things would just sound look so ... childish. I'd rather have a huge BBQ party while giving people choices on what they could do such us a poker set, video games on a network, open air hang out outside in the compound and just chatting away, catching up with things. God, I miss my BBQs. I want it again!

Anyway, to the young ladies who just turned 5 and 2 - Happy Birthday. Let your parties grow old with you and not the other way around. Apakan!

PS: I'm kinda back! =)

PSS: I'm also currently blogging at Sin Adam, The Exclusives Blog, BruGamers and Tanah Air Ku
