Hello people. Today is my last day of school-less slack. Tomorrow is also a day of slack, but I have to go to school in the morning from 8-9am to do the Science multiple choice. Waste time. Anyways, today I did go to Toa Payoh because I had Chinese tuition. Uber boring because I was the only one there [every other Sec 4 had school]. At least if there's someone else there, and that person doesn't want to talk to me, I'll still get some amusement out of watching their facial expressions.

I woke up a 9am, and my mother was sitting on my bed. She was talking to my father, who was using my computer. I took my bath, ate my breakfast, then my parents sent me to the tuition teacher's house. At about 12.30pm, my mother fetched me, and we went to get lunch, after that we went home. The only other thing I did for the rest of today was play Xbox. Played lost planet and Gears of War. Here is a [bloody, gorey] video of Gears of War executions, and another of the opening and first 10 mins of Lost Planet:

Gears of War Executions

Lost Planet

Ultimates Volume 2

Early this morning [like 2am early], I was reading The Ultimates Vol. 2 comics, and I have to admit, it is one of the best Western comic series I have ever read. Vol. 1 ended off nicely. The Ultimates had just stopped a large scale invasion of an alien race who was bent on the destruction of mankind. Good reason to celebrate.

Vol.2 is even better. Loki, the norse god of trickery, tricks everyone into believing that his half brother, Thor is not really a thunder god, but is just a lunatic is a power suit instead. Things start falling apart after the Ultimates take down Thor. Hawkeye's family is murdered, and the culprits knew the codes to enter Hawkeye's house, so SHIELD director Nick Fury suspects that it is someone on the team.

He thinks that Captain America isn't the real deal, and he suspects that Captain America is the murderer. He captures Captain America, and with the Ultimates weakened, Loki and his team of villains, The Liberators, go on a full scale attack on America, trying to start World War 3.

It's a really good series and there are lots of cool scenes. Here are a few good ones.

Bruce Banner, who everyone assumes is dead, let's one Loki's robot foot soldiers step onto him. He transforms into the Hulk and lifts the robot with one hand, and he crushes the pilot. He then actually mocks the other pilots, "See this? One hand. NOW BRING IT ON!!"

Hawkeye is surrounded by his captors and he is tied onto a chair. There is no objects in to room Hawkeye can use to kill them with. Or so they think. Hawkeye had earlier ripped off all his fingernails and he uses them as projectiles to kill his captors.

As the Ultimates are starting to get out numbered by the foot soldiers, Tony Stark arrives, slightly drunk, in his Iron Man v6 armour. Sure, one man might not be able to turn the tide of the battle, but the new armour is basically a satellite station armed to the core with lasers.

Quicksilver is fighting Hurricane and he is starting to lose. Quicksilver normally runs at 600km/h, so Hurricane was modified to run 2-3 times that speed. When Hurricane starts to threaten Quicksilver's friends, he stops holding back and starts running at his top speed of about 8000m/s. Hurricane's body is not able to take that speeds and her particles break apart.

Loki summons his army of Orcs, Giants and other mythical beast from norse mythology, and he tells the Ultimates that the world is doomed. Scarlet Witch says, "Not if I can stop you." Loki laughs and replies "You? What can a little Scarlet Witch do to me? All you can do is alter probability" And Scarlet Witch goes like "Oh, I dunno, maybe increase the odd of someone to show up and kick your ass?" And there's a flash of lightning and Thor appears, along with an army a Asgardians. Sick.

OMG WHAT'S THIS?!

I was also watching a Gears of War 2 vidoc [video document] this morning, and I found one pretty interesting new character. Here is the screenshot:

It looks like a Predator, but it's actually rumored to be called Skorge. He is possibly a boss character and he wields a staff which has chainsaws on both ends. Rumors that he'll be available in multiplayer as well. Looks totally badass to me. Love how the new Gears seems to be much darker than the original one.

Ok, ending off this post with this picture. See you tomorrow.

Click to enlarge. I lol'd.
