Hello. The topic of today is:
The Armory is basically a series that showcases the most badass weapons in video game history. It is aired weekly on IGN.com. So yeah, that's pretty much all there is to explain about it. I just wanted to introduce the series to everyone. Here are a few episodes:
Blades of Chaos [God of War]
Plasma Grenade [Halo]
Lancer [Chainsaw Gun from Gears of War]
BFG 9000 [Doom]
Shower Head [Dead Rising]
=============================================================================
I found a bunch of video on the Internet, check them out:
First, there is a video from the Angry Video Game Nerd that I have never watched before until now. It is called the "Final Battle", and the Nerd settled his feud with the Nostalgia Critic with a fight to the death. It is hilarious.
*Note* If you were offended by the AVGN Super Mario Brothers 3 video, please do yourself a favour and DON'T watch this video, or else you will be offended even more. You have been warned :D
Here is a short scene from the Watchmen movie. In this scene, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are rescuing a group of people trapped in a burning building. From what I can see, the movie is really staying true to the graphic novel, and that is a good thing.
A while ago, I embedded a video of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser. Now, the movie has a full 2 minute long trailer. The movie looks chaotic enough. I'm quite sure that there was Ravage in the trailer, Scorponok is back [meaning that Blackout will be too??] and I think that huge robot at the end might be the four combined Constructicons. We'll find out when the movie is out this June.
Since we're on the topic of trailers, here is God of War III's first full trailer. Looks great, but that's not game play. Still, the trailer is so damn cool. Kratos is a ****ing beast!! Can't wait to see more of this game.
Here's three videos of the IGN staff playing the Halo 3 Mystic map pack maps. The map pack will be available for download off Xbox Live for S$16, or you could get it earlier and for free by buying the limited edition of Halo Wars.
Orbital
Sandbox
Assembly
Finally, here is IGN.com's video review of Xbox 360 exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV expansion pack "The Lost and Damned". It is available for download now on Xbox Live Marketplace for S$33.

I spent most of the morning and half of the afternoon play various Warcraft 3 games with Say Yin and Andrew. In the late afternoon, they came over to Tiong Bahru Community Center and we played basketball.
We played with some Secondary 5 students from Outram Secondary School. We played 3 v 3 matches, and those were like the best matches I have ever played. We won the first match but we lost the second.
In the first match, there was a guy who was about the same height as me playing, and it was fun because I actually had to jump to snatch the ball. And I can actually jump quite high. The second match was against more skilled opponents, but we still did pretty well.
I even had a bit of hang time, and I am super happy about that. I had the ball and I think two of them were in front of me. I jumped to take the shot, and I saw all of them both raise their hands to block my shot, so I leaned back and threw the ball. I missed the shot, but still, it was hang time, so it's alright :D
In fact, Andrew was so amazed at my hang time that he actually knelt down in front of me to worship me. I am serious. I even took a photo as proof:
We should play basketball this Sunday. Andrew, Say Yin and me on the same team!! :D
After that we went to eat at the new Indian food shop, then everyone went home. I'm going to play more Warcraft 3 later with them.
Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. Ending off, see you tomorrow.
