Hello. The topic for today is:


Red vs Blue is a machinima video series created by Rooster Teeth Productions. The story focuses on two teams of soldiers fighting a civil war in the middle of a desolate box canyon, in a parody of First Person Shooter games, military life, and science fiction movies.

The series is made using games from the Halo series, and voice overs are added later. The series was initially planned to be a mini series, but due to it's overwhelming popularity, it eventually became five seasons long, with a hundred episodes altogether.

There are two teams of Spartans, Red Team and Blue Team, and each of them has their own specific character. There's Sarge from the Red Team, a tough sounding soldier that actually really doesn't know anything. Then there's that gay Spartan wearing the pink armour, Donut.

That was just the first series, which features footage from the first and second Halo games. Rooster Teeth is currently working on a new season using Halo 3.

The series is one of those "clever" comedies, the kind that requires you to have a certain level of intelligence for you to understand the jokes. And this concludes how to be lazy. A few episodes of the series:









=====================================================================================

Guess what I did today? More of the usual? Yeah, what did you expect? Say Yin called me in the afternoon to ask for directions to Raffles Hotel, and I had no idea where it was. Still, I was able to guide him to a place really nearby, so he managed to find it eventually.

What's the point of me mentioning all that? I have no idea man. I'm feeling so super high right now. I'm always like that after doing something crazy. What exactly did I do that is that crazy? Muhahahaha, that is only for me and one other person to know!!

I can't even think straight right now. I am having involuntary flashbacks. I can't help it. But I do know that I am damn happy. But I dunno why!! I'm going against so many of my self promises, but you know what? It was worth it!!

Hahahaha we should seriously do that more often!! Super fun man. Now I know the true meaning of a win-win situation. lol. By the way, I prefer the blue one, so now you don't have keep asking me about it.

Damn, I am in such a good mood right now. KOAS, damn damn damn a lot :D Because I don't know how to say "damn damn damn a lot" in Japanese. lol.

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!! *second time!!*] Ending off, see you tomorrow.

Hello. The topic for today is:


I've been playing the demo for a while now. It rocks. And the reviews that were released today all support my previous sentence. By just playing the demo alone, and by looking at the setlist for the game, I can confidently say that Guitar Hero Metallica is the best game of the series.

After all, it is Metallica. I could just stop talking about it right now, because we all already know that Metallica are gods. But no, I'm going to continue, because I'm such a wonderful person.

The game was first revealed when Guitar Hero World Tour was released. A short teaser was hidden in the "Extras" section, and it was only unlocked after beating the game at least once. It didn't show much, but it did show the words "Guitar Hero Metallica". And that was more than enough to set the forums ablaze with comments from excited fans and gamers alike.

Ever since, more and more of the game has been revealed, and a demo was released about half a month ago. The setlist was also put up onto the official website. 3/4 of the songs would be Metallica songs, and it will feature 20 guest bands, all of which either influenced or are influenced by Metallica.


This is the first Guitar Hero game that will truly be challenging. It's Metallica. Not Linkin Park or Paramore. The songs are actually going to be difficult. The demo only has four songs, and my favourite is "Seek and Destroy". I cannot play the solo, but the rest of the song is easy.

In case you're wondering, this is how the solo is supposed to sound like:



I would really like to buy it, but I'm hesitating. Not because I think the game won't be that good or anything, but because I think I will be the only one who will play the game. I realised this after I downloaded the Metallica track pack for Rock Band.

My finger stamina is strong enough to survive playing a 9 minute long Metallica, but not everyone can do that. Most of the people I play with have only played a bit of Guitar Hero, so I'm not sure if everyone can play a song to the end.


Also, I am a little pissed that "...And Justice for All", my favourite Metallica song, is not in the game!! What the hell D: Still, if you know me well, you would probably have guess that I'm going to get it soon anyway despite my doubts.

Now that Activision has created a fully metal Guitar Hero game, I'm psyched to see what they can come up with next. Maybe "Guitar Hero: Modern Metal, where they can feature bands like Bullet for my Valentine, Atreyu, and if they really have to, Avenged Sevenfold.

Or even better:


I will get a seizure from excitement if that ever happened.Meanwhile, you can enjoy three of Metallica's awesome guitar solos:







===============================================================================

I played a lot of Xbox today. Went out for a while in the afternoon. When I got home, my sister showed me this:



Niga Higa is super funny man. Girls like him. And he has a hot girlfriend too. What a bastard.

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.

Hello. The topic for today is:


The Temasek Poly Student Union Freshmen Orientation Camp is next week!! Time really flies. It feels like only a while ago that I applied for it. Obviously, I am really excited about the camp. But at the same time, I have several worries.

My biggest worry right now is that I get a male dance partner. Of course, you get to choose your partner, and I assure you, the prettiest girl there is mine. But I watched the videos of the mass dance of the previous FOCs, and I was shocked.

In the previous dances, there were moves that required you to switch partner. If I'm not wrong, there is a fixed pattern for the change, and if you are unlucky, you will get a guy. And the move that follows the change requires one partner to get on all fours and crawl towards the other.

I do not want a guy crawling towards me like that, and neither do I want to do it. It's just evil.

I'm also worried that there will not be a single chio girl in my OG. I will not die, but I will feel like dying. I'm spending three days at TP, not only for the camp, but also for the grand plan to take place, but the plan would fail if there wasn't at least one chio girl in my group.


Actually, the plan will not really fail if there aren't any chio girls in my group. It will succeed no matter what, I promise that. I have my methods. And you can trust their effectiveness, since I am the SD.

Those are my two main worries, but there are a few other smaller ones. I don't want anyone doing dumb stuff to me when I am asleep. I am afraid of ghosts. I'll be pissed if there is a person who is asshole towards me during the camp. If I don't shave for three days, a beard will start to form.

Still, I'm really looking forward to the camp. I can escape from home for three days. I can be surrounded by girls. I can make new friends. I can have fun. So yeah, I'm probably just thinking way too deeply about it. All those things I'm worrying about will probably never happen. Which is good, because that way, the camp will be awesome.


==================================================================================

I woke up at about 1pm today!! I finally got a full 8 hours of sleep for the first time in a while. I played Ninja Blade, then my parents gave me a life to AMK Hub. I met Say Yin there, and we walked around while CBS as the same time.

We went to the food court to eat, and Andrew joined us later. I treated everyone to a dessert, because they are members of TPCBSU, and members always have special privileges. We met Yong Xiang there as well. He just happened to be there with his church friends.

My father fetched me home after that, and I went onto msn for a while. I always feel a little down on Sundays, because it is Kim's "friends and family" day of the week, so I don't get to see her. But just being able to chat with her on msn is enough to cheer me up :D

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.

Hello. The topic for today is:


Earth Hour is a global event organised by the World Wildlife Fund [WWF], and it is held annually on the last Sunday of March. It was started in 2007 in Sydney, and it has become a world wide thing ever since.

This year, Earth Hour happened today, from 8.30pm-9.30pm. Basically, you have to turn off all non-essential lights, like your balcony light or the lamp at your study table. My family, and I'm sure we're not the only ones, decided to up the ante, and we turned off the whole damn power supply.

So we were sitting down in total darkness, with the only light sources being two lighted candles, and the moon. My brother was over excited as usual, my father decided to take a nap, my mother was talking to my sister, and I was lying on my bed talking on the phone to Kim, who also happened to be in total darkness.

I was just wondering, why are we doing this? The Earth will eventually get screwed, that is inevitable, but do we not realise that we will all be gone by the time that happens? Yes, you can tell me that our future generations will be affected, but then I will ask you to repeat your sentence.

"our future generations" There. Our future generation. Not us. I know it's selfish to think that way, but do you think the people of the future will be grateful for what we did for them? I seriously doubt it.

You can argue that my own children might also suffer if we didn't save the Earth now. Maybe. But I can't really be bothered. I know that I will definitely have a lot of children. I just won't know who they are. So it isn't really a problem.

But then I realised. We aren't doing this for the bastards of the future. We aren't even doing this for ourselves.

We are doing this for the Earth.

Earth has supported us and our ancestors for millions of years, and we haven't really done much to return the favour.

Imagine what would happen if the oxygen content of the Earth increased or decreased, even slightly. Or if they ozone layer continued to thin, and the intensity of the sunlight falling onto our skin increased.

Humans may think that we are at the top of the food chain, but in reality, we are one of the most fragile creatures around. Little changes like that would probably kill us, while cockroaches and other insects would still survive.

Even if the Earth starts to fail, and another planet is found to be suitable to sustain life, will we really feel happy to move to that planet? It wouldn't be as colourful as the Earth. The air would feel different. Some animals might not be able to survive on that planet.

What I'm trying to say is, nothing can replace Earth, so we must do our best to save her. After all, we can never repay what Earth has done for us, so the least we could do is extend her life, even if it is only be a little.

Still, I don't think once a year is good enough. Earth Hour is meant to be an awareness campaign, not an attempt to save energy. While we cannot promise that we will save energy all the time, we all have to try at the very least.

Time to start writing on both sides of a piece of paper before throwing it away, and to stop using this computer too much.


===================================================================================

Wow, I sounded like such a tree hugger back there. I'm not, but I seriously do feel that we need to help save the Earth. We all are citizens of this planet, so everyone has a part to play. I wasn't too keen on participating in Earth Hour, but my family was, so I didn't really have a choice.

I didn't really do much for the rest of the day. Went out for a while. Played Ninja Blade. Played DotA. All the usual stuff. I love the exotic fruit!! I wasn't used to the taste at first, but I'm really starting to like it!! Much better than I expected :D

Some photos I took during Earth Hour:

Hey, don't candles pollute the air too?
What the hell is this? Well, I did say that I was in total darkness.

I found this funny picture on the Internet:

Hello. The topic for today is:


Ninja Blade is an action adventure game developed by Japanese studio From Software exclusively for the Xbox 360. It is classified as a "cinematic action game", as it combines hack and slash game play with Quick Time Events.

The game was released in Asia in mid February, and it will be released in Western countries in June this year. A demo was released in December 2008 for Asian regions, and it was recently released for Western regions.

When it comes to game play, the game is some what similar to Ninja Gaiden, except it isn't nearly as difficult. There are two buttons for attacks, one close range attack and one long range attack, a button for jumping, and a button to throw your shuriken.

The animations in the game are amazing. They fluidly transition from one another, and they make the main character look really agile. Graphics are another good point of this game. It is running on the Unreal Engine 3, the same engine used to power Gears of War.


The game consists of about 60% game play, and 40% interactive cutscenes. These cutscenes are some of the coolest I've seen so far, only losing out to those in Devil May Cry. During these cutscenes, you have to press buttons as the appear.

While most of the game play is similar to Ninja Gaiden, there are some new game play events that make this game more fun that Ninja Gaiden.


Ninja Blade has a sequence where you are running vertically down the face of a building, dodging projectiles and killing enemies on the way down. Ninja Blade also adds more modern weapons to the game, like a helicopter mounted machine gun that you will use in one of the levels.

So why the hell am I telling you all this? Because my father finally decided to get the game for me. I've played the first two levels, and it kicks ass!! Way better than Ninja Gaiden. And the boss fights are epic. Most of the bosses are the same size as skyscrapers.

Nothing much left to say about the game, so I'm uploading a video of a cutscene from the game, so that you can get an idea of how the game works:





=================================================================================

The new Naruto and Bleach chapters are out. I'm embedding some pages here. Click to enlarge.

This week's Naruto is about the fight between Naruto and Pain, after the Fourth Hokage has resealed the fox. Naruto finds the location of the Nagato, the one controlling Pain, and he wants to meet him. However, Pain attacks Naruto. Some pages:

Naruto is back, and Nagato is weakening.
Upon realising that it was him who did that to the village, Naruto is overwhelmed by guilt.
Naruto want's to speak with Nagato face to face. Of course, Nagato doesn't want that, so he attacks.
Naruto kicks Pain with enough impact to cause the sword to snap.
Naruto stabs himself with the sword, and he finds Nagato by sensing his Chakra.
Now that Nagato has been found, Naruto is ready to finish the fight.
Pain plans to try and counter Rasen Shuriken with Shinra Tensei.

This week's Bleach is a continuation of Ichingo's imba spree. He is completely owning Ulquiorra. Even Ulquiorra's spear, which caused an explosion similar to that of an atomic bomb when it hit the ground, is nothing to Ichigo. Some pages:

Ichigo, looking badass, and holding onto Ulquiorra's severed arm.
But Ulquiorra isn't down yet.
He can regenerate most parts of his body.
He uses a spear thing.
Ichigo dodges it.
The impact of the spear.
Ulquiorra prepares to throw another one.
Ichigo doesn't give him a chance.
Ulquiorra use the spear to attack, but Ichigo catches it. With his bare hands. And he destroys it.
He delivers a near fatal blow to Ulquiorra.
Ichigo will not be satisfied until Ulquiorra is really dead, so he charges up a cero.
Ulquiorra giving his emo speech.
Big explosion!! I'm betting Ulquiorra isn't dead yet.

=================================================================================

Today is my mother's birthday!!

I got a taste of some exotic fruit in the morning :D

Then I met up with my parents, and we went to eat prata at Casuarina Curry House in the morning, after we fetched my brother from school. After that my brother had to go to Hougang Stadium because he was having his school sports day.

We went to fetch my sister after that, and we went to IMM for lunch. Since I already ate, I went to walk around with my father. He was looking for a present for my mother. He wanted to get earrings for my mother, but he doesn't want it to be too expensive.

At that point I just realised that if I bought for Kim earrings, I would need to buy more than a pair. And I have no idea if the earrings meant for ear lobes can fit onto the top of the ear. It would be kinda weird looking, wouldn't it?

Anyways, we walked and walked and he couldn't find anything, so I went to get another wood puzzle. I've already got a wooden pistol and carbine, so now I decided to get a tank. The previous ones all came in three planks of wood, whereas this one comes in four.

Then we went to I.P. Zone, and my father bought be another pair of bermudas. This one is the same as my brown one, just that it's black. The pants are weird, because when you buy them, they may fit just right, but after washing a few times, they become super loose.

After that we went to some factory outlet shop because there were some nice clothes there, but my mother didn't like them because the bottom of the sleeves and the collar had some tears in them. The sales assistant told us that it was a design, but I think it looked like a beggar shirt.

I went to a few shops that sold games, and I asked my father if he could help me get Mass Effect, because it is M18, and while I might look the age, my IC states that I am only 17 years of age. My mother told him that I have been wanting to get Ninja Blade for a long time as well.

Eventually we left the store without getting them, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed. I went to look for Andrew and Vanessa, who also happened to be at IMM. My sister tagged along because she wanted to see how Vanessa looked like.

I met them outside Giant, and we chatted for a while, then my father called me in because he wanted me to try on some slippers. He took the plastic bags that I was holding, so that it would be easier for me to try them on.

After that he returned me the bags, and we went outside to wait for my mother while she paid for the stuff. My father started telling me that all the things in my bag were my birthday presents.

I just nodded my head. He told me the same thing again. I nodded again. He told me to show my sister what I got. So I just handed her the bags. Then he was like, "Tsk, open the bag and show la."

So I opened the I.P. Zone bag, then I realised that there was another translucent plastic bag inside it. I took a closer look, and guess what? My father secretly bought me both Mass Effect and Ninja Blade, and he slipped it into the bags when I was trying on the slippers.

My father is so awesome.

Once we got home, I started playing. Ninja Blade, sex. Mass Effect, not played yet, but I'm sure it's sex as well. We went to my grandparent's house at night to cut a cake for my mother. Some photos I took today:

My favourite prata :D
My mom and dad. Look at my father's face!!One more photo of them. I don't look anything like them at all right?
New games!! Happy.

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.

Hello. The topic for today is:


Tenacious D is a rock band consisting of two members, Kyle Gass, and famous comedian Jack Black. It was formed in 1994 as an acoustic band, but later became more focused on rock. The style of music played by Tenacious D is considered "mock rock" by many critics.

Their music is a fusion of vulgar absurdist comedy, and rock. I first got to know about them when I watched their movie "The Pick of Destiny". I once found the songs in that movie to be really lame, but I find them kinda good now.

Their guitar skills are undeniably good, and Jack Black's voice sounds epic. And that concludes what I have to say about Tenacious D. Maybe the topic for today should have been "how to be lazy".

Anyways, here are a few videos of my favourite Tenacious D songs:







================================================================================

I finally got to watch Detroit Metal City today!! I went to MSHS with Yeow Boon and Andrew to check if our certificates were ready yet. The certs were, but the year book wasn't. So we have to go back and collect that at some other time.

After that we went to AMK Hub to meet Say Yin and his friend. We tried to get tickets at Cathay, but DMC isn't being screened there, so we had to go to some other cinema. Say Yin had to go and get a hair cut, so we left without him.

We went to Junction 8 to check if Golden Village was showing the movie. Turns out GV does have DMC, but only at certain branches. Plaza Singapura, Marina Square and Vivocity. We planed to go to PS to watch it, but the movie only started at 4.50pm, so we had some time to kill.

We went to the arcade to watch some people play Street Fighter IV. They are super good man. Probably would pulverise me if I went up against them. Still, they are only considered average on a global scale. We went to eat at some coffee shop I never knew existed. The food was nice and cheap.

We took a train to PS, and we got the tickets. We went to look around the shops for a while, then we met Sebastian. Got our drinks, then we went into the cinema. There was actually some auntie standing at the entrance, visually checking if we were above 16 years, since the movie is NC16.

She didn't even look twice at me man!! A small victory. I look more than 16 to others. Actually, it's not really that big a deal, since I had no problem walking into Watchmen, which was M18. I don't really know if I should be happy or not that I look older than my age.

Anyways, the movie is good!! Funniest movie I've seen in a while. When it comes to Hollywood comedies, if it isn't rated M18, it isn't funny. DMC is rated NC16 because it is vulgar and there are some sexual reference.

The movie isn't as funny as the comic, but it is still much funnier than most other comedies. I especially like the power ranger headbang part. Super funny man!! It still makes me laugh every time I think of it.

Hearing the sounds and Krauser's voice on the big screen is sex. I have never felt so pleased after watching a movie in my life. Sure, I've been satisfied by movies like Watchmen and Transformers, but those are a different kind of movie that really cannot be compared to DMC.

Overall, I think DMC is a great movie that should be watched by everyone who can watch it. Just make sure that you have a little tolerance for metal music, or you'll not enjoy it at all.

After the movie, we went to visit Say Yin at Pepper Lunch, then we went to Burger King to eat because the food court was too crowded. Before eating, I went to get for my mother three metal ladles, because I set her wooden one on fire.

There was also some game sale going on at the first floor, but it was by Comics Connection. They are too damn cheap to reduce a game's price even by $10. Even during the IT show, their games were of the usual price. Lousy marketing.

After dinner, I took at bus back to Tiong Bahru. I dropped at the bus stop near the market, because I felt like walking home. Once I got home, I gave Kim a call to check some stuff with her. The way she described it was as if it was some torture method, but she assured me that it's not that bad.

Whatever it is, I'm just glad that you've got it over with :D

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.

Hello. The topic for today is:


The world today is ruled by the media. No, actually "ruled" is too lenient a word. Dominated. Yeah, that's more like it. The world today is dominated by the media. The media fabricates things. Stuff we believe in may actually be lies.

And I'm actually going into that industry.

Anyways, I was just thinking, what if we started thinking, "what's the big deal" to all the stuff the media has made to seem significant?

For example, what is the big deal with the global recession anyway? Sure, money has become a problem, but does anyone reading this actually feel the impact? I certainly don't. Still, many people are making a huge deal out of it.


Why? The media is making it seem like such a catastrophe.

Sure, there are the down sides, but why don't we all, for once, be optimists, and look at the benefits the recession is bringing us. Everything is becoming cheaper. I'm not an expert on the prices of most things, but when it comes to video games, I am a god.

An average Xbox 360 game used to cost $75. Now games are costing $61, which is actually the lowest retail price for Xbox games ever, even cheaper than the games for the original Xbox. House prices are falling. If you have a large pool of savings, then get a new house.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Why be pessimistic all the time. The world is actually a really happy place, but it's the humans that **** it all up. "Ohhh, life sucks. Ahhhh, why is all this happening to me?" Damn, grow a ****ing backbone.

Another thing that the media has burned into our minds: Fashion. What's the big deal about having branded goods? A shoe is a shoe. A shirt is a shirt. Clothes are meant to cover you, so why the hell are they priced differently. Even worse, why the hell are we buying the more expensive ones?


If you wear a branded pair of jeans, and you wear a cheaper pair, is there any difference? What, does one make you run faster? Or maybe branded clothes make you look more attractive? Maybe, but isn't it screwed up when people are attracted to you because of your clothes, and not because of you?

Another thing I don't really like is the image of many models, and they impact they have on women. Yes, I do agree that there are some amazing looking models, but as we all know, when there is a good, there must be a bad to balance it.


Of course, men are attracted to them, but most of us would never want to actually go out with a model because we would feel insignificant. A man would rather go out with a woman he is comfortable with, regardless of how she looks is or how she is shaped.

Men aren't bright creatures, there's no denying that, and they may seem especially dull when compared to women. But for some reason, the simple fact that a man doesn't really care how a woman looks like on the outside if he really loves her, cannot be grasped by many women.

The industry also has quite an impact on us when it comes to food. Remember the days when food used to be just food? No chemicals and stuff like that? Of course you don't, because those days were over long before we were born.

Ever since we were young, we were fed food with enhanced vitamins. Now, we have genetically modified food. Meat may still be meat, but we don't know what the animals are being fed. All these are fine. The only real crappy thing that can happen is that one day we all start glowing from all the chemicals we have been eating.

But it really baffles me when it comes to designer food. Really? Designer food? Premium brands of bottled water. Special varieties of highly priced food. Ice cream made from the finest of ingredients.


Seriously. Water is water. The designer water, and the water coming out of my tap, is the same damn thing. The only differences are, one, designer water is probably pumped full of minerals, which tastes disgusting anyway, and two, designer water actually costs a few dollars.

What's so special about those varieties of food? I don't know. But I do know that most "exquisite" dishes, like caviar and oyster, aren't loved by most people. Also, I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again. The idea of a $1000 ice cream is just ****ed up.

The media is an evil, cannibalizing industry, and yet, we are all more than willing to fall prey to them. The only media you can ever trust is the game media, because there isn't really much to lie about when it comes to video games.

Gamers are the good guys. Fashion, food, music and everything else are just pure evil.

=================================================================================

I didn't do much today. Just built my wooden guns!! Other that that, I really didn't do that much that is worth mentioning. I played a bit of Street Fighter IV. Damn, I need a new game soon. I'm getting ****ing bored. I went out for dinner, and I got home and played DotA.

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.

Hello. The topic for today is:


Grand Theft Auto IV is an incredibly popular game that has sold more than copies since it's launch last year. It's an open-world game that focuses on gangsterism. GTA IV tells the tale of how an immigrant got to the top of the food chain in the underworld of the fictional Liberty City.

Grand Theft Auto IV also happens to be the first game of the series that is sold here legally, albeit with an M18 rating. Yes, we all already know that Grand Theft Auto is violent, but it can get downright twisted at times.

For example, when you see a hooker on the streets, and you happen to be in a car, you can sound the horn, and she will get into your vehicle. Take her to a quiet alley or park, and she will give you one of three services. The amount of action depends on the price. If you really are that interested, I can give you hints. $20, hands. $50, mouth. You get the idea.


But this is fine, since the game doesn't really show much, and it is M18 to begin with. It's what you can do next that can be really twisted.

Ok, so the hooker has given you her services, and she has left the car. You suddenly feel that she has charged you too much. So you can do something like take out a baseball bat, and beat her to death, then you can take your money back and drive off as if nothing happened.

You just killed the woman who was servicing you moments ago, with a baseball bat no less, just for not more than a hundred dollars. Good job.

In GTA, being chased by the police is not unusual. When such a thing happens, you can always try to outrun them on foot, but doing so in a vehicle is so much more effective. However, since you cannot buy your own vehicles in the game, you have to resort to car jacking.


Most of the time, you will be jacking into parked cars, but there are times when the closest car to you happens to have a driver in it. So you have to get him out of the car first. You can either do this by simply pulling him out and throwing him aside, or you could do so at gunpoint.

Once you are in the car, you can get evil. The driver of the car was giving you a hard time while you were trying to take his vehicle from him? Then you can just run him over. With his own car.

While driving on the street, you can also shoot at random civilians through the window of the car. If another driver does something that pisses you off, you can fill his car with lead.

Or if you prefer to be more professional, wait until the next traffic light. Stop beside his car and shoot through the window. When some one dies while in a car, it's possible for them to slump onto the steering wheel, causing the horns to blare continuously.


You can also open the door of you car, and drive into some one with the hope of knocking them down with it. If you're lucky, they might actually chase you after getting knocked down. Wait until they are close to your car, then drive off. They will most likely grab onto the open door, and you can drag them around for a short distance before they let go.

You can also get into a fire truck and spray pedestrians with highly pressurized water. Most of the time, they will just fall to the ground, but I have seen people fly off the ground from the impact of the water. The water can also slowly push vehicles aside, eventually causing them to flip.

You can also hijack a helicopter and use it to terrorise Liberty City. With a bit of practice, you will be able to tilt it at the right angle, so that only the blades touch the ground. In that position, you can pilot the vehicle around town, mowing down anything and everything in your path.

The evil doesn't just stop there. You can pick a fight with anyone, male or female, young or old. You can throw just about anyone off a building or into a river. You can start a shoot out anywhere, from a fast food outlet to the bowling alley. You can deliver drugs for money.

Grand Theft Auto IV is a mature rated game targeted at a mature audience. It was developed to be an open world game that would allow you to do almost everything you wanted. Still, just because you are allowed to do such a thing, it doesn't mean you have to do it.


But I know you're going to try to do it anyway, you evil person. It's alright, go ahead. What do you think I do to keep myself entertained in the game?

==================================================================================

I helped my sister complete her stupid project today. Damn, I'm glad it's finally over. I'm never doing another project for her, or for anyone else again for that matter. I used to be a nice person who would be more than happy to do stuff for people, but over the years, I've learned to say **** off.

I was a prisoner to my home today, since I had to do the bitchin project. What the hell is up with all these projects anyway. You go to school to study, not to do pointless crap like that. I'm alright with projects in poly, because it is a tertiary institution after all, but why projects in an educational system?

I actually managed to finish the project in time to be able to go out for dinner. Helped me calm down a bit, thanks for that. We should do that kinda stuff more often, it was fun!! :D

Now I'm thinking of so much stuff. Tons of questions in my head, but not one damn answer. You know, it's because of situations like this that I decided to play video games. So that I would stop thinking altogether.

You can tell me that I can't run away forever, but I can. I'm not a person who solves things immediately. I keep them bottled up inside me, and I hope that I can forget them. Yes, I'll eventually erupt. Good thing none of you outside my family has seen me really pissed before.

So yeah, please don't tell me to confront my problems. If a truck was coming at you, at top speed, would you just stand there? No, no matter what you say, if such a thing really happened, you would run. That's how I feel right now. The truck is going to pwn me if I don't get out of the way.

Alright, sorry about the slightly depressing stuff I mentioned above. Like I said, I am not a person who like to think about problems. They are my problems, no need to broadcast them to the whole damn world. I'll be happier tomorrow.

Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.
