Mr Rocky

hear the new song on the blog? Thats Hysteria by Muse. And I'm halfway to learning it ;) My electric guitar teacher thinks we're advacned enough to play this amazingly awesome piece of music. I'm really starting to like Muse actually. They were also the culprits responsible for SuperMassive Black Hole, the song that played during the Twilight Baseball scene. So all you Edward/(whatsherfrigginname) bitches should pretty well know.

I really feel like being videogame geeky today so thats what I shall do. First off lets start with Halo: ODST the highly awaited Halo3 standalone game.

Basically, ODST, initially named Recon, takes place just after Halo 2 where Master Cheif -117 raids New Mombasa City. After he leaves, the ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) are employed to clear up his mess. Little do they know that the Covenant had decided to send reinforcements and without the Cheif, how were they gonna survive endless hoards of alien juggernauts? Fight la! So basically this is the story of the untold heroes behind the scenes, the ODSTs.

Teamwork and cooperation is really the key to this standalone game. being ODSTs, after all they are still human. I like to think that the ODSTs would be the SWAT equivalant to HALO. and definitely teamwork is essential to a SWAT team or they all die a horrible, horrible ... horrible death.

As quoted by Legendary-acheiver Shao Xuan: " So cool sia, 4-player Co-op ".

By the way thats us at the Singapore Toys Game and Comics Con with Master Cheif! One of the high points of the day. Standing next to a Spartan.

Thats right, a new member of the Halo Family, ODST brings in a new mode called Firefight, which is the Halo answer to Gears of Wars' Horde. Firefight allows 4 players to team up as ODST and as God would have it, the team faces wave after wave of enemy Covenant. so the point to this new mode is to finish as many waves as you can within a limit of 7 lives. Shared by the entire team.

Sounds too difficult ? additionally, after every 5 waves , a Skull will be unlocked. Not in a good way like " Oh I've just unlocked new hairstyles for my Bratz character " or " Cool, I've just unlocked my hidden potential in DotA ". When you unlock a skull, Covenant do very bad things to you. For example, one skull called Catch, causes enemy Covenant to throw more grenades then they usually would. Pfft, "more" is a fucking understatement. another one called Tough Luck, increases the enemy's evasion. So ... Tough Luck !

I'm soooooo impressed by this game. It would be a SIN in my book not to buy this game. I expect it to cause as much as a single Halo Xbox 360 game, but it's worth it. really. I can imagine 4 of us sitting together and kicking Covenant backside ... and not just kicking. More like damaging thier arseholes so badly they can never again take a shit in their life. That ... people ... is something I would really enjoy.

So thats my take on Halo 3 ODST.

Hooray !

So I decided to blog ... waiting for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to install in my BRAND NEW computer. By the way, did I mention that ? That my old motherboard was corrupted and that my uncle brought me to Sim Lim Square to buy parts for a NEW computer WHICH .. I personally assembled myself under the guidance of my uncle ? ... I doubt so :)

So therefore, with the single purpose of showing off ... here are some of the new features of my new computer ( as much as I can recall ). Intel DDR Core-2-Duo Processor. GeForce 9600 Series Graphics Card. Wireless MicrosoftKeyboard and Gaming Mouse. LG 19 inch LCD Display Screen. In other words, my computer looks friggin awesome.

Oh and theres the added bonus of learning how to assemble a computer. ( Its pretty simple actually ) My uncle hopes for me to join the technological sector when I grow up ... I'm still considering though. My real passion lies in science fiction , video games ...

Feelings and Thoughts

My feelings

• I'm feeling rather lethargic after NCC training.

My thoughts

• Annual Singapore Toys Games and Comics Convention 09
• I'm thinking of pursuing a career in rapping

and a Big Happy Birthday wish to my Indian bro M.Pooventhran ( pronounced poo-ven-dren ). Though he does'nt read blogs, but what the hell ... Hopes he enjoys the present.

Off to bed, all set and ready for GEEK CONVENTION 09 ! ( a term created by fellow geek Xiu Ming )

"Yo, Joe ! "

G.I Joe is just AWESOME. truly truly awesome. I can't seem to think of the last movie that was as purely awesome as G.I.Joe. and to quote the movie, " Evil never looked so good". Baroness aka Sienna Miller is beautiful. Even more so than Megan Fox. ( Complain on my tagboard tyvm ) I would say that Megan Fox is hot but Sienna Miller is beautiful. See the difference. Anyways, I think her spectacles attract me or something. Baroness, the Bespectacled Badass Cobra Hottie.

Lol I just have so much to say. I never knew much about the franchise initially just that it was some kind of fanbase itself. Kinda like Star Wars. the toys and comics and all. and Definitely there was a sense of fanboy-ism throughout the movie.

On the topic of Snake-eyes, the ninja assasin clad in black. The actor who portrayed him, Ray Park, was the same actor who portrayed Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode 1, who is my one and only all-time favourite Star Wars character. Coincidentally, he seems to portray silent, powerful badasses in all my favourite movies. I literally cheered in his first apperance. Then followed on to imitate him after the movie, much to the annoyance of other people in the cinema.

I enjoyed the other characters as well though. My favourite scenese were definitely ...

The encounter between Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow. Both times.

Baroness' scene atop the Eiffel Tower.

The chase through Paris

'G.I.Joe' He Never Gives Up @ Yahoo! Video

I give this movie 4/5 stars. 1 for Baroness. 1 for Snake-eyes. 1 for the non-stop action and 1 for the interesting conflicts and back stories. Especially the Snake-eyes vs Storm Shadow Conflict. Definitely a movie worth watching, If you're deciding between Up and GI.Joe, choose the one with the hot bespectacled chick. :D

When all else fails, Nicholas does'nt

Lol once again, another inspiring quote from our ever-vigilant CSM. Just felt like blogging for the week now.

This week was literally pumped up with NCC. Like a whole serum of NCC was injected into Time the Entity itself. and it mutated to create a destructive force capable of annihilating my homework time.

Flag-bearer training was an important part of this week certainly. Case you don't know, once again Nicholas the Discipline head has been chosen to represent NCC in yet ANOTHER prestigious parade. and YES this time Swine flu is not involved. all facts aside, Jerome and I are NCC representatives for this year's NDP school parade. May not be very prestigious to you but it certainly is to me at least. So watch out for the NCC flag on Friday guys. More importantly, check out the guy bearing it.

On tuesday I accompanied the Part B Platoon Seargent Ryan to the Sec 1 trainfire course. I gotta say, its the most I've bonded with the Part As since the beggining of the year. It started out as Seargent, and ended with Seargent Nicholas . Another thing I gotta say is that some of the Sec 1s have a Shit-Load of Attitude. Hopefully under my care, they will change. Then again I felt accomplished getting the rest of them to behave ... disciplinededly. lol. Once again Nicholas the Discipline head to the rescue.
PS. Checking out Ryan scolding them. Its like many dangerous threats I would say. Cool lol.

Academically, there was this incident on wednesday if I'm not wrong. lol Humiliated Myself man. Ms Mok asked me to remove the drop of NaOH left in the pipette and then I couldn't rememeber anything. Blank. Like Omar's SS Notes. Wah, it was truly a hell load of scolding man. If that wasn't worse enough she went around joking about it . You can literally imagine the embaressment lol. But I'm always one to bounce back from adversity. I'll just take it as another "learning it the Ms-Mok-Will-Literally-Murder-Me way" experience.

I really don't think I should post much, I have to get up at 530 to have the NDP Parade Dry run. More like the I-enjoy-making-people-wake-up-early-and-deprive-them-of-sleep Run. It "really sucks to the core man" as someone would say.
