Sleepy Boring Lecture

If you have trouble listening to lectures and boring tutorial sessions, here's the cure for it. No guarantees though.

Back to Blogging

For this time around, I guess I'll be transforming my blog into an entertainment video blog...No, not videos of me blogging, but instead videos of the games I play or movies that I watch.

This major change is due to my inactivity and procrastination in making new posts about how life is around me. I apologise if I'd caused you any inconvenience (once the videos are up). The first video should be up shortly...

Movie Review: Stay Alive

I've said this once before and I'll say it again. American horror movies do not scare me. What seems to be lacking in these horror movies are the sense of capturing the human psychological feeling (what the crap?!). Note that I mentioned HORROR and not VIOLENCE. Gore belongs to VIOLENCE while creepiness and supernatural suspense belongs to HORROR. With that said, let's start with our own movie synopsis...

Storyline:
"After the brutal death of a friend, a group of friends find themselves in possession of a video-game called "Stay Alive," a blood-curdling true story of a 17th century noblewoman known as the Blood Countess. After playing the game when they know they shouldn't, however, the friends realize that once they die in the game--they die for real. As their numbers begin dropping and as they begin dying in the ways they died in the game, the remaining friends realize they must defeat the Blood Countess or accept their fates."

Scare factor:
Basically throughout the show, there are very very few real good scares. Mostly are just plain cheap scares...stuff like some shadow walking behind, or the sudden image of "the bloody eye" (what's with that anyway?! i dun get it...whose eye is that?! why is it flashing?!). The ghosts are clearly animated (bcoz they're in-game, that takes away half of the scare factor, but it's a good try). I can easily find these in Fatal Frame too.

Characters:
Oh hell...horror movies never made it through without considering the characters' AI. It's always the same...they all try to be the hero and always go by the saying, "you wait here, i'll go check it out". For all humanity's sake, why don't you freaking carry a crowbar or something?! Havent you heard of Gordon Freeman of Half Life?! Havent you heard of the nameless marine in Doom 3?! He even went to hell, survived, and came back for MORE! What the hell you sissies think you are, empty handedly "checking things out". Bullsh*t man...

Movie Inspiration:
It's very clear that this movie adopted its gameplay from the famous Fatal Frame/Clock Tower series. Also, not forgetting the DIRECT COPY of the Japanese horror movie, Ju-On. The bluish boy and his mother can be seen a lot of times in this show...in animated form. Lots and lots of the boy's and his mother's clones...hmm...sweet! It kinda entertained me when Fatal Frame turned out to be like the run n' gun shooter, "Black", for the PS2/Xbox. A hybrid perhaps...?

*SPOILER ALERT* The ending? *SPOILER ALERT*
I was expecting one fellow (Frankie Muniz) to complete the game in order to beat the Blood Countess, but no...the rest of the survivors had to search for this...haunted house to eliminate her, face-to-face. What a bore...at least animation gives me more satisfaction. I mean, it's always better that way for a change, don't you think so?
*END OF SPOILER*

Overall, I kinda watched this movie to convince myself to stop gaming, but this show failed to do so. In fact, it just feels like a parody of Ju-On and Fatal Frame and Black. Oh gosh...must play more games...

Nostalgic Feeling

Looking back at my old school magazine, there's a bit of nostalgic feeling to it. While the lame-ass teacher's day and sports day and other events are nothing but crap, the senior's pages are the ones that are the most worth looking through.

It kinda reminded me of how I behaved and performed in my daily routine back then. Yes yes...I admit I was childish, but only to get people's attention since...I'm the only child mah!
And look at me now...all cool and macho and self-concerned guy. No more Mr. Nice Guy cause he's ghey!

I kinda have a feeling of regret, particularly because of:

a) mixing with the wrong herd of friends (sorry, I know 'herd' are for cows but what's the difference?)
b) getting involved in a relationship
c) getting unskilled, untrained, unprofessional, immature, impatient b1tC#3$ to teach us the most crucial subjects resulting in me getting low grades for SPM. Seriously...damn you...

One word of advice, do NOT get yourself involved in a relationship! No matter what happens, whether she confesses (if you're a guy), or whether if she strips for you, or even if she rapes you...STAY OUT OF IT! It's like a drug, everything will be ruined! You will soon find that you will have lesser times with your friends, lesser chances to eye on girls, and your studies will go down the drain...hah!

One more thing...when I look into the school mag...I realised that most of those girls who were said to be pretty or cute or stuff like that...are nothing but CH3Ap 53ll0U+5 (if you can read leet, good for you). I had crushes on them too, but come to think of it...its back to the previous rule...STAY OUT OF IT! It's only an illusion for desperados!

One last thing to say before I end my post...and this is addressed to all future Senior Page makers:

Dont start to design your page at the very last minute. You must consider the time needed to edit the pages AS WELL AS having your classmates/teacher to approve it. By then only will it be brought forward to the school magazine society to get approval from the Principal to be published. Sigh, such high level of bureaucracy...boring...

Who's Bad? What's Bad? How Bad?

You know what's bad? Drugs are bad...mmkay? Skipping classes is bad...mmkay? Porno is bad too...mmkay? So kids, listen up and follow what the Big Guy's gonna tell you right in your face, "do anything you want to your-freaking-self, as long as you do not demoralise yourself"

And so, this little boy went home feeling very excited about wat the Big Guy said. He thought of going to the cybercafe, but that would make him look like a gaming addict. He then moved on to smoking, but then again it would make him look like a samseng. He tried several different approaches to different 'activities' but the Big Guy's words keep on playing in his mind.

And then this particular thought strucked him in his brain. The thought of keeping a single finger nail long for as long as possible.

Small boy: Hmm, keeping a finger nail long is not a crime. It's also not demoralising. In fact, no one will even know it! It'll be a great help when my food gets stuck in my mouth. Nose itch? No problem too!

The small boy kept his nail long for almost 2 months now. That was when he suddenly felt that it was dangerous to keep long nails. Why? This boy was using a sponge to scrub the dishes in the kitchen after dinner just now when his nail got caught in the sponge. The nail got slightly bent (thankfully not broken). Right at that moment, random thoughts of nails breaking began to flow constantly into mind. Without delaying, the small boy immediately cut off his long nail.

Moral: Long nails are bad...mmkay?!



There is apparently no "Big Guy" in reality, so snap out of it! No children were harmed in this greatly crafted story. Peace!

Henshin!

Due to my enthusiasm in Kamen Rider, this is the hardwork of capturing numerous screenshots of a rider transforming. Henshin!
