Revenant Wings

15-Dec-07

WPvideo 1.10

The Final Fantastic pedigree is certain, that’s for sure - it has all the hallmarks of the series, save the shift in gameplay genre: haunting, immersive music straight out of its PlayStation 2 progenitor; resplendent artwork, especially in its beautifully rendered cutscenes, but also in-game proper, considering the DS’s technical limitations; and an engaging, [...]

A Touch Of Change

11-Aug-07

I now possess a Nintendo DS Lite, which was purchased just yesterday. All I can say is, you won’t believe how addictive Pokemon Diamond is until you realize you’ve spent the better part of the day trying to catch ‘em all. I chose the water-based one as my starting pet, by the way - it’s [...]

I Would Seriously Like To Game

28-Mar-07

Damn it, I have put off finishing Neverwinter Nights 2 for too long. But I fear that the moment I click on that tempting icon will be the moment from which my homework will never be complete.
Abstinence is difficult; more so when the people around me are so weak-willed or so free as to buy [...]

Whoops

Wow, the PS3’s graphics really look amazing. Great work, Square.

Good Deals All Around

04-Sep-06

Friday was eventful. My sis and I paid a visit to Comex 2006 after much hesitation, as Kyle decided that he was too lazy to go. We arrived there by train…

…and it was hella packed. I did not bother to snap pictures of the convention hall as it was really just a massive mess, teeming [...]

Wants

10-Mar-06

I want a 20″ ViewSonic monitor.
There’s a huge IT sale at the moment here in Singapore. Naturally, I went for a peek today.
That 20″ is going for a fantastic price of S$799, the same as a similarly-equipped benQ I found last month. However, I’m more inclined to the ViewSonic - ViewSonic has been the brand [...]

WCG Day 2: Swag (Part 5)

19-Nov-05

That’s all the swag I got/swiped. Quite measly, I should add.
Here’s a rundown:
Dawn of War ‘Game of the Year’ double-sided game poster
3 Ablerex Blade temporary tatoos
Ablerex plastic bag
Ablerex fact sheets/advertisements
Wad of Ablerex Post-It notes
CD of Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus 7.0 Professional Edition
Intel ‘Game On!’ Centrino Cap
As I said, pathetic. I wish I could’ve gotten that Intel [...]

WCG Day 2: Sponsor Booths (Part 4)

19-Nov-05

I have already mentioned (well, glossed over) the sponsor booths present at the WCG. This post’ll be to elaborate.
There were loads of tricked-out, pimped-up PC’s on show.

Check this one, for example. It was playing over 10 movies simultaneously from an external (possibly wireless) hard drive. I can’t remember what brand it was for, though. Oh [...]

WCG Day 2: The Gaming (Part 3)

19-Nov-05

Finally I come to the part about the gaming. And boy, did the games begin. Remember the gargantuan stage I set my sights upon when I first entered the convention hall? I’m taking about this stage:

They get gamers to play there, on stage, in little fighter-plane-esque cockpits. This arrangement was mainly for celebrity players of [...]

WCG Day 2: Action Figures? (Part 2)

19-Nov-05

Suffering from a lack of interesting sponsor booths, the WCG was quite - here’s it coming - boring. I spotted a exhibition of sorts, on action figures, though, and surprised as I was I couldn’t go touch - only see. The figurines were displayed behind a wall of glass (or plastic).

They had gundam mechas! I’m [...]
