Iron Man 2 Review

2010-06-12T07:39:00.000-07:00

Iron man 2 was one of the most anticipated movies ever in the history of Hollywood's box office! It's profit went sky high since Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen!
The show started good. When Ivan Vanko/Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) made something similar to Tony Stark's for himself. He made his arc reactor for himself! How did he know? Watch the movie!
The movie continued nicely. But thanks to a part of its plot, this 2 hour show has been "cut short to 1 1/2 hours." I'm not talking about time literary, but I'm talking about how I'd felt like when I'd watch this movie. The plot just shortens the movie experience and not much satisfaction is given.
But this show is better than a movie with annoying side autobots , unnecessary special effects, unbearing time length, and stupid storyline! (Transformers 2)

Well, I say it's quite disappointing for a big blockbuster which I've waited for 2 years....but I don't find this show a waste of cash. So......check out my ratings below to show what I'll say.....

BCStatus = Perfect start/Limited plot/Small ending
BCMeter = 80%

Q = Should I go for it?

A = Only if you REALLY ARE A TRUE IRON MAN FAN, you will be able to enjoy this movie more than me.

Kick-Ass Review! (YIPEE!)

2010-05-05T02:11:00.000-07:00

DUMB QUESTIONS
Is it like a full action movie with comical elements and a dumb plot like "Shoot Em Up?"
Is it the next downgraded and unarmored Power Rangers?
Is it for kids aged 3 and above?
Is the show a musical?
Is it a circus show?
Is it gonna be a rip-off of Batman and Robin

ONE ULTIMATE ANSWER
NO! NO! NO!
This movie may look kiddie but it's a severe rated R movie and it really kicks ass!
Trust me!
Here's what Kick-Ass has been kicking....
- Wanted
- Spider-Man 1/2/3
- Tim Burton's Batman
- Watchmen

Here's the redband trailer (not in HD! T_T)

AHA! This show is true unique entertainment! Yeah, there is strong violence, there is nudity and sexual content(at least not much, unlike Watchmen!), and there is a lot of mind swelling language!
The only con I can count in this fantastic show is that it could be much better! But Mr. Matthew Vaughn has done a very great job! And he's gonna direct X-Men too! I really can't wait for the sequel! It's gonna be awesome coz it's awesome!!!!
Yeah guys, go and watch this show! And please take note, it's RATED R (17+)!!!

BCStatus = HUGE FUNHOUSE!
BCMeter = 89%

Q = Should I go for it?

A = GO ON! It really kicks ass! Worth the cash!

Video Games Live 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Review

2010-05-05T01:54:00.000-07:00

It has been a fascinating weekend when I'd walked in the KLCC's Plenary Hall and watched this amazing event of a lifetime! This concert has been hosted by Tommy Tallarico. Songs are composed by Jack Wall (composer of Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell). Guests are Laura Intravia(she plays the flute beautifully and whoa....she sang the soundtrack of God of War!!!) and Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid OSTs and part of "The Outer Rim" jazz band)
On both Saturday day and night, it has fascinated a lot of the audiences' weekend! This concert is unforgettable! Even non-gamers will enjoy it!
Here are some of the popular games' soundtracks they played
-Metal Gear Solid 1/2/3/4
-God of War
-Halo and Halo 3
-Super Mario
-Sonic
-World of Warcraft
-Final Fantasy VII
-Kingdom Hearts
-Zelda
....AND MUCH MORE!!!

Tommy Tallarico "skyped" Ralph H Baer(the father of video games!) during the event! He was as well as he was young!

Other events are the Space Invaders and Guitar Hero challenge, and the cosplay competition!(OH GREAT! I WANNA DRESS UP AS "GHOST" FOR NEXT YEAR'S VGL COSPLAY EVENT!!!)

I won't talk much because I don't wanna spoil the fun when you are willing to go there!
I hope the next year's Video Games Live will be bigger and better!!! I've requested them to play soundtracks of Call of Duty, Dragon Age Origins, and Fallout 3!
Alright! When they're coming next year, please do really make a dateand be there and have fun!!!

BCStatus =New kind of a concert!
BCMeter = 97%

Q = Should I go for it?

A = IT'S NOT ONLY THAT YOU SHOULD, BUT IT'S REALLY A MUST! GO FOR IT NEXT YEAR! PRONTO! YOU'LL NEVER EVER REGRET IT AT ALL!(whether you're a gamer or not!)

Here's the peeks of the event!

Just Cause 2 is not for Windows XP! (Dude, get Windows 7!)

2010-04-08T05:33:00.000-07:00

Bad news for faithful Windows XP gamers! Just Cause 2 is no longer for Windows XP and Direct X 9! This game takes gamers to a whole new level of intense graphics! And it will make you drool more than you drooled for Crysis!

This game required Direct X 10.1 onwards! So don't expect it to run it on XP! The developers had already said that it's not compatible with Windows XP! So if you wanna try, die trying man!(sorry T_T)

But that's one thing you really don't get it folks!

Maybe some of you think that Windows 7 will be as slow and buggy as Vista. But it really ain't! To admit, it's not accurately fast ans XP, but the speed and reliability is closer to Windows XP than Vista!

It's like at XP speed with the promised goodness of Vista!

Windows 7 focuses on simplicity and it's less complicated than Vista and OS X and even less problematic than XP(according to my experience)

Windows 7 is really good for gaming! Apparently better than XP!

So it's your call! But what I'm saying that it's time for Windows 7!

Thoughts on Call of Duty 7, Transformers 3, Batman 3, and Windows 8!

2010-04-07T06:56:00.000-07:00

Thoughts on Call of Duty 7

Rumors are clamoring about the next successor of the most successful Call of Duty franchise ever made and released - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2(picture below).

Modern Warfare 2 has been a thrill to me! The graphics are very replenishing and it's well optimized for low-end systems. Infinity Ward really made the most out of the iw4 engine(but Havok's physics are better T_T )Cinematic action, great storyline, nice soundtrack, and great gameplay are not found in EA's Battlefield Bad Company 2, but Modern Warfare 2!

Well, some key staff from Infinity Ward had been recently fired. So I'm not certain how good Modern Warfare 3 will be.......hope it doesn't disappoint!

OK! Let's look at Call of Duty 7! What's confirmed so far is that it's going to be developed by Activision and Treyarch, who made past Call of Duty series like COD 2: Big Red One, Call of Duty 3, and Call Of Duty World At War.

(This picture is the ingame snapshot of Call of Duty World At War, developed by Activision and Treyarch.)

Another thing is that Activision publishing CEO Mike Griffith has admitted that the firm isn't expecting this year's Treyarch-developed Call Of Duty 7 to eclipse sales of Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2.

Now that may give Call of Duty enthusiasts doubt that Call of Duty 7 will be a great game.

Now to the rumors......

The rumor that I'd hoped to be at is that it will be set in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder's setting, Vietnam! It's also been rumored to be in Cold War!

Well, nothing much to say about the known truth of Call of Duty 7, but I'd hoped you enjoy reading! ;)

Thought on Transformers 3

OK! Let's face it Transformers fans, Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen is an epic fail!!! The show is long with stupid nonsense and annoying autobots! That movie should be short! And it's Michael Bay's worst masterpiece ever comparing to the first Transformers and The Rock! Without knowing, he stole my ticket money and gave me some bunch of abysmal stupidity! T_T

I just hope that the third one won't disappoint me as a movie-goer! And all I know is, Silverbot is added in the Autobot list!

Don't disappoint me Michael Bay! Your work has been an inspiration......until Transformers 2!

Coming 2011!

Thoughts on Batman 3

This is the most anticipated film I've been waiting for! Just take note that this picture above is a very nice fan-made one! XD

My No.1 show is The Dark Knight! Despite it's gleeing and dark elements, the sequel kept developing by Batman's technology on his suit and his automobile, and much sadistic and brutal enemies! And I am hoping that Johnny Depp will be The Riddler instead of Eddie Murphy!

Also, I'm expecting Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.....

He looks like Penguin right?

I'd just hope that Christopher Nolan's Batman 3 will rock the audiences soon enough with what we expected or more than what we expected ;)

Go do it wizard!

Thoughts on Windows 8

Maybe around 2011, we'll expect Windows 8 to come to our PC shop's shelves soon enough! These images above are fake! No official snapshots are released yet!

But what's confirmed is that Microsoft are already recruiting for team members and developing Windows 8, as of last year, 2009!

But one crazy rumor claimed that Windows 8 will include 128-bit! That's really insane! People are still sticking to 32-bit for safety reasons. 64-bit versions can't do much and can't play epic games like Fallout 3!

Hoohoo! It won't work on 64-bits! So 128-bit will fail worse!

Well, I enjoyed Windows 7 Ultimate, and I wanna see what goodness Windows 8 will deliever!

All the best Microsoft!

Thank you for reading my post! ;)

My Clash Of The Titans review

2010-04-07T03:55:00.000-07:00

I'd watch this movie because of Sam Worthington. He's my favorite recent fresh face. Well, I'd watched it in 2D(but it may not make any experience, the purpose of 3D is to boost your viewing experience) and it's alright to me. Below this paragraph are the reviews.

WARNING! This review might spoil a bit. If you are eager to read it, brace yourself!(unless you have watched it)
This movie shows how cruel a Greek god is. All of them don't really cared about humans except Zeus. But his doing is also as cruel as a Nazi. So, that reminded me that our true living God is much loving than these Greek gods. The beginning was good. The fighting scenes and the CGI is appreciable.

But the con of these whole thing is that the movie's length is too short to fit in the story. The fight sequences are too short, and it ended too soon. For these type of show, I'd expected to be longer like at Avatar's length. So this show's story is distorted.
This show is like a mini-coaster ride without loops like the one in Universal Studios Hollywood(Just like The Mummy ride). And it's quite enjoyable, despite the saddening flaws.....

This movie should be best enjoyed in 3D (in order to cover the show's flaws)

BCStatus = Short indoor coaster ride
BCMeter = 72%
Q = Should I go for it?
A=Watch it in theaters in 3D. But don't burn your wallet for the Blu-ray!

Goodbye AS4. Hello AS5

According to myself, Initial D Arcade Stage 4 has been upgraded to Arcade Stage 5 in the Lindbergh system. I'm not sure about other countries but Arcade Stage 4 in The Summit/Sunway Pyramid/Mid Valley Megamall/1 Utama is gone in Malaysia. The media in this article are snapshots regarding of SEGA's new release

Here's the promo video...
