Silent, Screaming Death

I dunno why I'm doing this, but I just feel like doing this





Yeah, to the few in Ausmat M-chat, you'd have probably know what the heck I was talking about. Well here it is....not quite yet.


Actually, it wasn't really a game that crossed my mind at all when Ausmat Semester break started. I got GTA IV and Sims 3 (2 games, totally contrasting in nature) initially. But since GTA IV for some reason REFUSED to work on my comp (Sims 3 worked perfectly fine, thank goodness), I went back to the shop, and since GTA IV was 3 DVD (yes, games nowadays are getting fatter and fatter...) to swap it for Left 4 Dead (nice game, but its not the topic, and its only nice playing it with people) and....of course,



















DEAD SPACE.

A Sci-Fi survival horror game which pits you as an ordinary engineer sent in a team on a seemingly routine repaire mission on a planet cracker of a ship, only to find out almost everyone is dead, sent insane. And from a bunch of these human corpses, necromorphs (zombies, so to speak) are spawned out of the human husks. So, separated from your few surviving team members, you fight solo in dark, creepy atmosphere which....*takes deep breath*....









........... scares the fucking daylight out of your pathetic miserable stale life (thats how mines like, anyway) while you try to get your sorry ass out of that shithole of a ship while finding out some freaking conspiracy going on in the background while you're fending for your pathetic life amidst the bloody necromorphs.






*phew*





p.s This ain't copy pasted from a site. Its my own rendition of the gist of the storyline.







Okay, before I move on, I'll show you some..delightful scenes from the game..not my own pics...too busy being freaked to get any..










WARNING: TO SQUEAMISH ONES, DO NOT LOOK FURTHER LEST YOU PUKE BLOOD

ok you won't puke blood but oh well here goes.





















and another cute pic















All in a days work.


And a particularly interesting scene, if you'd like..















So there, a glimpse of what I HAVE to go through every freaking corner. And not to mention moments where I have to fight off a necromorph which regenerates when you blow off its limbs. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.







If any of you played Resident Evil: Nemesis, you'd probably have an idea of what its like
I never played any RE games, btw.









Will upload a video of it (Dead Space REGENERATOR a.k.a the Hunter) later. If I can find a good one. And if you even care to see it.



DISCLAIMER: Above pics and video are not mine, not from my playthrough, and nothing do with me. Its merely to give a general idea of how it looks and plays. TY.

Making up for lost time

Ausmat Evaluation Exam has ended a few days ago and I find that this sad space in the blogosphere has been left dilapidated for ages.

To catch up on very belated news.

#1
Transfer saga comes to an end.



Well, almost, but certain.


Cristiano Ronaldo finally moves to Real Madrid for 80 million pounds, a world record deal in what would seem like re-elected President Florentino Perez's next attempt to rebuild a galacticos team, having snapped up Kaka from AC Milan for 62 million pounds.

I suppose it was a matter of when, rather than if, Ronaldo will leave Man Utd, to satiate his never ending thirst for challenge and glory. In 2003 he was virtually unknown when he came to Man Utd from Sporting Lisbon, and now, he's worth 80 million pounds. Not a bad deal on a want-away star.


Lets just see how the new season shapes for Man Utd, minus Ronaldo. And likely plus a few new fresh faces...







#2
Kris won. Huh?

Yes. Its one of those hot topics that (at least at the time it occurred) basically dominated chats and conversations amongst quite a handful of my peers. Getting comments which goes something like...







"WTF?!!??!? KRIS WON?? DUMBF**K AMERICANS!!"







"AMERICA IS STUPID!!!"



Something like that.




Okay well I'll say first that both are good singers. Just that IMO Adam puts in more emotions and energy into his songs, compared to Kris, whereas Kris, to me, seems more of a ...hmm..sentimental kinda singer. But feel free to disagree.


But by talent alone, I still feel Adam should've nicked it. I don't see a problem with him being gay, as long as he keeps it to himself, and doesn't go round on a public rampage =="


And, as Daughtry has shown, you don't really need to win American Idol to be successful.




#3
How can we forget. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Evaluation Exam. Its definitely something with which we would compare our future results to. And a slight taste of the real thing which Ausmat-ians will face in mock exams, and then the real thing itself, the Tertiary Entrance Examination (TEE).


But suffice to say, it was a really disappointing effort. From EALD, to Applicable Maths, and the Science subjects, I never really felt I gave my best. Maybe one of which I felt so-so with my efforts would be Physics.

No use crying over spilt milk, as is often said. I just wanna waste this holidays (if you can call it one)
