If you know me, you’d know that I am a big fan of opensource software. Not that I am all that great in writing code or anything, but I like the idea of people making awesome programs because they love to program and share the fruits of their labor with the world, often without monetary compensation. Of course, they may use or link to codes that basically required them to opensource their software but that is besides the point.

Now. Looking at some of the criticisms, it is clear that some of them want something for nothing. In the end, it is just greedy company vs. greedy companies. Nothing more. It isn’t about anti-competitive practices… Opensourcers got what they wanted, and it is free to them. Commercial software developers just whining because they would be charged.
I had more to say, but deleted it because it got too long and off track.

Thanks RIAA. As if I needed more reason to hate them. Seriously, this is going too far.

MY ENGRISH HUUUUURTS.

O M F G. You’d think they’d get past kindergartener’s writing level by the time they hit 23

Once upon ages ago… Ok about 8 years ago. I put an obscure album onto P2P. The album was lost through couple formats ago and forgotten. I just happened to remember it recently and went digging around for it. Guess what I downloaded? The original mp3’s that I’ve encoded from CD that many years ago. Got my nickname and original encode date right there in the comments. Freaking amazing if you ask me

Edit: I totally should have encoded it in at least 256kbit… 160kbit is making my ears bleed

Hope yall had a wonderful and safe holiday.

Me and my cousin had a really really close call with firecrackers last night. It left a few scorch marks on his sweater. Yikes. Way too close of a call. Luckily I ducked just fast enough before the fireworks came toward us. WHEW

Yes, there was mahjung and other various festive activities that I unwillingly participated. New years and gambling goes together like peanut butter and jelly. Gambling is bad mmmmkay

I just tried Bioshock for a few minutes. I am so sorry that I ever said GoW’s control sucked. This is 100x worse. Being a pr0 CS player CS n00b terminator, you can bet i am a super low sens player. I touch the mouse and I did a 720. I was like wow. Turned the mouse sensitivity down to lowest and it gets stuck here and there. It just won’t move. So I tried some tweaks and it is better, but it still feels like crap. Chalk one up for another game dumbed down for console with retarded controls. Ierno, I am gonna restart the game on easy and just blast through this. I am in it for the story as the combat BLOWS GOAT’S SWEATY BAWLS. Or dare I say, use the trainer

Game looks pretty good with very interesting art style. It is a bit too cartoonish for my taste, but not THAT bad

Well, since I am already on the topic, may as well make this a full blown pitch my bitch post. I’ve already written about how games suck when they are controller oriented. This game brings it into a whole new territory. It isn’t the first, but it is the one that makes me want to cut off my fingers. I just want to play this stupid game. Tight controls is necessary for a FPS. Mouse and keyboard should be their focus, not an afterthought. This game is bleeding edge. In terms of technology AND crappy controls. People saying the control in this game is fine should go try some other shooters and come back to this game. Then you’ll see how much it SUCK DONKEY BAWLS. I don’t mind loosey goosey controls in games like Oblivion or some other non-combat oriented game. If you’re going to make a FPS, get it through your skull that KEYBOARD AND MOUSE COMES FIRST.

So anyways, tweaked the game setting for mouse again, and about to go for another session. Hopefully it feels better this time

Edited impressions:
After tweaking the mouse setting for awhile, it finally feels OK. Just OK, no more. I don’t understand how the control is so butchered considering all the other games built on the UT3 (or UT2.5 hybrid) engine are really solid. As for the story, the game feels like an advanture game in FPS guise. Not bad so far. I really like the over the top atmosphere. Will finish this game later

Portal.
Innovative. Funny. Craziest gameplay ever.
Only if it wasn’t so short.
Just wanted to write that for some reason. Only a Month late or something

Runner up: UT3, man is this game fun… This is how 3d engines should be built! Latest technologies yet not bogged down to slideshow framerate. Yes, it is formulaic and derivative, but you know I am a sucker for good online play. It is familiar yet new. Ya it is no CS, but still fun none-the-less. It would be fun if I had my old team to play with

YES. BITE ME. I didn’t play Bioshock. I have to let the hype die down, so I don’t get disappointed.
Crysis. Didn’t play. I don’t wanna I want to experience it the first time in 1920×1200 in DX10 with all goodies turned on with high frame rate. I know the gameplay is short, and story lame, but still I want to experience it in all its glory first time around. Perhaps it is the only thing it is good for, you know like admire the graphics slideshow
Installing Bioshock now. Crysis… Ierno. May be later

Biggest surprize: HL2EP2. EP1 sucked. It is like a demo in term of how much story it gives you. EP2, only slightly longer, gives you sense of accomplishment when that thing goes in the air… and killing the striders with them sticky bombs. Not to mention the awesome Cuda There is almost no need to play these 2 expansions though, as the story parts are on Youtube. Orangebox is A-OK though for having Portal. I hope We’ll see EP3 this year, and it better be good (you know, like a real ending assuming it is a trilogy and not a ten-million-ogy ).
