The Simpsons making fun of Simon Cowell

Actually, this happened a long time ago during Idol Gives Back, but can't find the video until recently. Marge is Randy, Lisa is Paula and Homer is Simon.

Earth Hour report....

Well, Earth Hour is just over. I'm very proud to be part of this activity. But I'm very disappointed with my neighbourhood, they didn't participate it.

Anyway, I don't care.... Even though they didn't do it, but I did turn off the light...

I VOTED EARTH!!!

Change the way you drive, not the car

During my grandma's birthday, my uncle told my dad that the latest Proton Saga with fuel economy only 7.2km/L, according to newspaper complain (I think Christopher know what I mean), but according to actual figure is more than 10km/L and a lot more... Everyone in Malaysia auto industry all know Proton Saga is a fuel efficient car.

Than I suddenly think of Top Gear, where the host, Jeremy Clarkson said Toyota Prius (hybrid) is not as fuel efficient as we all think. So, he put Toyota Prius in front with full acceleration and then with a BMW M3 Sedan (Sports car in short) follow the speed of the Prius, which the M3 doesn't need full acceleration. After doing 10 laps, they calculated the numbers. In the end, the Prius consumed more fuel than the powerful M3.

So the lesson, change the way you drive, not the car you drive. You want more? Here's the video to proof:

Modern Warfare 2 announced and teased

Well, one of my favourite game franchise, Call of Duty, it's back. This time they drop the Call of Duty name... I think have to get this late though, cuz SPM... The teaser trailer it's quite cool, even though it doesn't show the actual game. See the video after this:

Support Earth Hour

Our lovely planet Earth is in a very damaging state right now. The cause? Human Race, ever since the Industrial Revolution, most of our machinery, electricity and development produce Carbon Dioxide that pollutes our environment. This also blocks the heat being reflected out of the atmosphere and the world is heating up now (global warming), this melted ice from both poles and sea level keep rising.

This Saturday, March 28, please switch off everything light, every electricity in your house for 1 hour. To send a message to everyone that Earth is precious. Besides, turning off these stuffs for 1 hour together reduce a lot of carbon dioxide emission...

SUPPORT EARTH HOUR!!!!

PC Burnout Paradise review

Who says things can't be perfect? You can't say like this, you must say it's hard to be perfect. EA brings a perfect game, Burnout Paradise, a game from a series that defines my nickname (look older post).

This car won't be this nice for long

This is a game that change the way we play racing game. This game have very realistic graphics, open world, realistic crashes... and more. When you open the game, you're greeted by Guns N' Roses' Paradise City (which gets boring overtime though). Once you log in your account, you will be impressed by the scenery.

Told ya so...

The game have quite a lot of modes, it contains Race, Road Rage (taking as much rival as you can), Burning Route (Time Attack with specific car), Stunt Run, Marked Man (arrive destination without been destroyed by rivals) and Showtime (crash the whole streets). Each event offers different kinds of excitement, this is essential to the game to keep the players playing the game. It contain many different kinds of cars for you to choose from, start from Speed, which just go fast and agile while didn't care about the strength of the car. Aggression, don't care about speed and agility, just want to take people down with it's force. The Stunt car is in the middle, fast and strong to do stunts around.

This driver is dead by now. That's why we only dare to do it in virtual world.

It might be weird to have no specific route to reach your finish line, but after you get used to it, it is actually quite nice to play. With hidden packages like shortcuts, big ramps, billboards and more to find, completing all races doesn't mean its over, you have to find them all in order to complete.

It got online races and open world, been taken out or take them down is fun and making rivalry. and now with every streets have its name, time records, crash records, beating your friends in the streets is just like the icing on the cake. After take them down, we will get the photo of their reactions if they have webcam and vice versa if you been taken out.

Burnout Paradise PC version is a must have for PC gamer if you misses out PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the game. It also contains all the downloadable contents previously release on Xbox 360 and PS3 Networking, so make it a very good game to buy.

Verdict: 5/5

How to say foul word without even saying it...

Okay, let's face it... Sometimes you want to shout out bad words (foul words) in public is quite bad right? Now while in school, you can do it... Just take out a scientific calculator (like below)


After that switch to base mode...


Type it out 793505 in base 10 (d), and click '='....


Then, select base 6....

TA DA!!!

Blog record high!!!

Yesterday, after I post complaint about American Idol contestant, Tatiana Nicole Del Toro.
My blog visitors went up to record high since the creation of the histats.com tracker, with 35 visitors...

If you properly at the image below, my daily visitors for the past 30 days, mostly. Because I created the tracker not long ago, the tracking is not so complete yet. At the end of the image is the peak of vistors (yesterday), with 35 (RECORD!!!)


And when I click the date, it shows the number of visitors on the hour. The best is 9th hour...

So, I think is a nice day for a record
