[SPOILER ALERT!] My 5 Favourite Star Wars Moments

Today is May 4th, YAAAAYYYY!!!! Some of you might be asking right now, why I'm so excited for this date. Well, May 4th is the official Star Wars day! As a Star Wars fan, I'm super excited for anything that's Star Wars. To celebrate this long lasting and unbelievable Sci-fi franchise, I'm gonna list out my five favourite Star Wars moments (not an easy one). NOTE: Not in order

Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Maul

The only redeeming thing in The Phantom Menace, is the war scene and lightsaber duel scenes, the final Battle of Naboo fighting against the Seperatist force with Qui-Gon and Obi Wan swinging their lightsaber towards the face-tattooed Darth Maul with his awesome dual blade lightsaber. With the prequels, they showed us how much the cinema has progressed with the no nonsense actions sequence such as this. The duel is fast paced, no jibby jabbing, and continuously moving around.

Battle over Coruscant

This is JAW-DROPPING!!!

Star Wars opening is iconic, with the logo and prelude that gives a story before the movie started, which every Star Wars fans like it a lot. But what I like about the opening of Revenge of the Sith, is what follows after the opening, with scrolling down towards a Republic Destroyer with two small starfighters swinging over it. Right after some flying, the two Jedi in the starfighters decided to swing down and join the battle, with everyone exchanging bullets and explosions at each other. It is an awesome sight!

You were the Chosen One!

You were the chosen one!

[MAJOR SPOILER] Another from Revenge of the Sith, probably because I was born in the Star Wars prequel era. This time is near the end of the movie, when Obi-Wan fighting against Darth Vader at the magma planet, Mustafar (in one way the planet's name reminds me of Lion King, "Mufasa! Mufasa!"). In this scene, Obi-Wan jumps over the hill, saying he has "the high ground" to Darth Vader, which prompted Darth Vader to challenge him by jumping over too. Obi-Wan then chopped off the arms, the legs of Darth Vader, and let him burn with the magma. Obi-Wan then said to his former friend and apprentice, saying he was the Chosen One rather than become a Sith Lord. This scene to me is the saddest scene in Star Wars saga, and also the darkest.

Darth Vader first appearance in the Original Trilogy

I watched the original trilogy way before I watched the prequel, means that I was very young back then, I always follow what my sisters watch, so I'm a Star Wars fans today is because of them. The first appearance of Vader is something mesmerizing, with the Rebel cruiser escaping from the ever growing (literally) size of the Imperial Star Destroyer, handicapped the cruiser quickly without effort. Then after boarding and killing the Rebel forces, Darth Vader made the entrance, with his iconic breathing noise and his sheer size. Then he proceeded to interrogate and kill one of the Rebel officer without using effort. The message is don't mess with this guy, he's a bada**!

I am Your Father

[ULTIMATE SPOILER ALERT] It might seems totally normal now, back then it was not! This is voted by many film critics and websites as one of the biggest film plot twist of all time! Darth Vader's biggest revelations to Luke Skywalker that he is his father. What kind of sorcery just happened??!! It was so out of the blue. This also lead to Singaporean radio's hilarious take on Hokkien version and Toy Story 2 made quite a big fun with this scene.

Now for the Toy Story version:

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Didn't celebrate this year, because I'm going to China trip soon, but I got a Christmas song to share!

So lucky to get it

Did I tell you about the cheapest 3-D ticket I ever bought? I did.

I was with a couple of my friends decided to watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 3-D, cuz that is the version you must go for. I prepared 2 RM50 notes (1 ticket is RM18) to buy 4 tickets.

The cashier then clicked 4 seats and proceed for check out, she told me to pay RM48, I paid it without hesistation. Then, my friend Kah Wai shaked me up and asked me.

KW: Why it is so cheap? Confirm 3-D?
Me: Ya hor, something wrong leh.
KW: Ask her
Me: Okay.

Then I asked the cashier to confirm if it is Transformers 3-D or not, she said yes. I asked about twice, because both of us can't believe what we're paying!!! And we certainly jumped!!!

I later tell Chong Hong and Yong Qin about it, they can't believe it as well, Chong Hong even said I "boom" him about the ticket. He then take the tickets and ask the branch manager about it. The manager looked at it, she paused and lingered for quite a while before answered his question, she then proceed to ask the office about it and they are unsure whether the system has gone wrong or not.

She told us 3-D was not normally this cheap, and since we already paid and the receipt was out, she can't charge us again.

RM12!!!!

The Mini Darth Vader

Long time didn't blog... Because I'm running out of creativity to write my blog (Damn you, Facebook)...

But found out this funny advert on YouTube, and I love it...

5 Years of Waiting, Finally...

Been waiting this game since, erm... Let me recall again, hmmm.... Hmm... Oh yeah, the year PS3 was announced in E3 2005... I expected the game to be launched alongside PS3 in 2006 but it didn't make it. Several years after 2 major exams, purchased PS3 in 2009 and into 2010, the game is finally here in my hand, yipeee!!!

I actually planned to buy the standard version of the game, but only discovered first batch of games in every part in Asia are only available in Limited Collector's Edition. What the heck, I decided to buy it as a treat after all these years...

The Collector's Edition come packed inside a box (like a DVD box set), inside it contained the game blu-ray disc (duh), a 3D card contain code to unlock 5 more cars in addition to the 1,000+ inside the game and a special book called the Apex, which is a guide to everything you wanna know about cars...

The Apex book is something special, everything you inside is about cars, like chassis, engine, drive-train, suspension and all those technical stuff... Wonderful...

When I popped the discs into my PS3, I know i will have to install a huge 8 GB of data into my PS3... Although it is optional, but I still install it anyway because I know it is going to save me a lot of time next time I fire up the game... The installation took 40 minutes, I read through the Apex book while I wait...

Let's enjoy the North American Launch Trailer of the game, featuring My Chemical Romance's Planetary (GO!), which is also the intro song and the official theme song... Make sure you watch it in HD...

A Song: Fuck you

Sorry if feel offended, there's songs with title "Fuck You", I heard a few of them already. So far I think the best is Cee Lo Green's new single, erm "Fuck You".

I have to say, I'm surprised with song.... Listen to it:

Another Gran Turismo Trailers

I haven't blog for almost a month.... Yes, yes, I'm sorry... I just busy for no reason and Facebook is really killing my blogging vibe, because I just status update my profile and done!

By the way, back to the topic... Anyone knows that I love cars and I love games, so Gran Turismo 5 is a sure buy title for me... It feature ultra realistic graphics, realistic physics, car customisation and contain well over 1000 cars to collect. It's called car pornography, and I really mean that...

Is it real? Gosh...

Here are the new trailers:

Look at what features they announced at Tokyo Game Show that ended last month (although I know many of you guys are not interested, but I'm gonna post it anyway):

• Laguna Seca has been completely rebuilt and will return for GT5. Trial Mountain has also been confirmed.
• “Gran Turismo Anywhere” will allow you to manage B-Spec races, right from your computer. You’ll be able to hold B-Spec races with your friends from anywhere in what are called “Remote Races”.
• GT5 will feature a series of special events such as the Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, and Gran Turismo Rally.
• Point-to-point rally stages will be automatically and randomly generated – you’ll have to depend on your co-driver to give you the best instructions about the road ahead.
• Rally mode can be played either on or offline.
• Weather changes include temperature differences, air pressure changes, and humidity, affecting the surface conditions of the track dynamically.
• Weather conditions are randomized. Forecasts for your race will be available but may not be entirely accurate, just like the real world.
• Polyphony Digital has helped Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey design the X1 Concept – an “ultimate” racing car, free of any technical regulations.
• Polyphony Digital has worked to improve engine sounds.
• Yamauchi admits that, in certain situations – such as standing race starts in the rain with 15 other cars on the screen kicking up spray in front of you – the game may not be able to hold 60FPS. Otherwise, it will strive to hold 60FPS as often as possible.
• The Volkswagen Kubelwagen, which has a drive system like the first beetle, and the amphibious Volkswagen Schwimmwagen will be in the game.
• Many things didn’t make the cut in Gran Turismo 5, and work on Gran Turismo 6 has already begun.

Got a new webcam

Got a new webcam for my PC today. As you all know, I use Windows 7 for my desktop, so I got a lot of software update to made my stuff compatible with it. Unfortunately, my old webcam is bought from China by my sister, which ONLY support the classic XP, so I have to buy a new one... Geez!!!

CRAP!!!

The new one is Logitech C200, with microphone and 1.3 MP camera...

 The box of it...

Fits perfectly onto my monitor... =)

What about the old one?

Making new friends with the rubbish I guess

One Ridiculously Sarcastic Review

This review is a bit old, but it is funny nonetheless... The review come when a Top Gear viewer mailed the crew to tell them to make a proper and serious review. The Top Gear host, Jeremy, take it seriously in a sarcastic way... Video after this:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Five Games I'm Looking Forward to for the Rest of the Year

E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) has ended, showcases about video games is done and many interesting games are shown there... But five games really caught my eyes, here is the list:

1.) Gran Turismo 5

Reality or Virtual Reality? You Judge

The game is finally here. Not exactly here, but what I meant is the release date here... As I watched the briefing about the PS3 and the games, Sony exec showed the trailer for the game and a release date at the end of it. It got cheers from the crowd because people have been waiting for the game since 2005 and no date has been given every time they show a snippet... If the date is true (2nd November 2010), you might find me collecting cars and licenses with over 1000 of them... ;p

2.) Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

I love Assassin's Creed, I just love the gameplay and the story. The story is about a man, who has the DNA of the Assassins Order, traveled back in time through his DNA and experience what his ancestors experience. During the game, he discovered there was a war that he never knew even existed, the war between the Templars and Assassins, which also involved many famous people throughout the history, including Genghis Khan, Henry Ford, Nicolai Tesla and many others... I can't wait who will I meet up next, alternate history game couldn't be more interesting than this.

3.) PlayStation Move

It is not a game, I know I know... Based on the Wii success on their Wiimote (Wii sounds like peeing), Sony decided to fight back with a improved concept based on it, that is the Wiimote. What is different from the Wii is that the Move has a camera (PlayStation Eye) and LED balls on top of the Move. Sony said that will offer more precision than the Wii. Based on the video people recorded with them demo-ing during E3, it did look more closer to 1:1 than the Wii. Da Jie is very interested with the PlayStation Move as she might not need to buy a Nintendo Wii and buy the Move instead.

4.) Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

Ram it or U-Turn. You decide this November

A game series I finally interested again after years of failure with experimentations with the game mechanics. This entry of the series is developed by Criterion Games, which is famed for it's Burnout series (another racing game). This version is back to the style people loved years back, involving exotic cars, beautiful locales and adrenaline pumping cop chase scene, just like Hollywood. With Criterion at helm, this could be a blast.

5.) Crysis 2

The physics engine for the game is crazy

Another processor hungry game, the first game is so hungry to process graphics it could literally make a PS3 and Xbox 360 melt, only a highly customizable PC with the highest-end specification could make the cut, the rest is bye bye. This time the developers created a new engine that could satisfy Xbox 360, PS3 and lower end PCs playing on beautiful graphics. With the open world gameplay set in the Big Apple, this could be interesting...

Sackboy, I LOVE YOU!!!

Remember this cute little doll? Well, he is Sackboy, he is from the game called LittleBigPlanet. Sackboy is one of the most adaptable and most adorable and cutest game characters in recent game history... I've never seen a video game character that is so cute in recent years, since video game started making realistic characters and real personality into it.

I love LittleBigPlanet, I played it when I borrowed from my cousin and I play a lot. Even though the single player is short, there is a lot of online feature for the game. The game online is just a video game version of YouTube, everyone can create their stuffs and put it on the internet. I play a lot of other users' content, like mini Star Wars, Indiana Jones, jokes about Xbox and many many more. The possibilities are actually endless, which made me wonder, will a sequel possible considering the first one is literally use up your whole gaming life.

Well, there is.. And the features for this sequel is tremendous, the community will be expanded and the you can play driving games, shooting games, Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders and many many more... And you can create not just one level, but a whole new different game! And create new story and even music videos (Yeah, You heard that right) for your game!!

Let's see the trailer for the sequel and I can't get enough of Sackboy!!!

Let's Celebrate The Beautiful Game

Football, is one of the biggest sports known to mankind and FIFA World Cup is the biggest sporting event in human history. Along with the Olympics, World Cup is also one of the sporting event that truly unite people from all around the world to celebrate this amazing game and share a common language, "GOAL!!!". The 19th FIFA World Cup will be hosted by South Africa and the hype is building already...

The main theme song of this year World Cup is Wavin' Flag by K'Naan, this song got the flavours of Africa and unity... Enjoy the song below:

Few seasons ago we got William Hung, then later we got one Mexican that have a lot of respect for Simon Cowell. In Season 9, there is General Larry Platt, where his audition has become a viral hit on YouTube, among celebrities and talk show.

PART 1: Movie of the Decade

The Dark Knight

Choosing anything for best of the decade is always difficult, because there are so many things happened in ten years. But one in all these films, The Dark Knight emerged as a winner by a very close margin.

Why? Because it is mind blowing. The movie is mature, dark and compelling throughout, Christopher Nolan knew that most of the Batman fans had grown up and demand more mature and deeper themed Batman. The result is that The Dark Knight has changed the way we think about superhero movie. The Joker performed by the late Heath Ledger is an icing on the cake...

Sorry, Finding Nemo...

Contenders:

• Lord of the Ring
• Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
• Pirates of the Caribbean
• Finding Nemo
• WALL-E
• The Terminal
• Transformers
• Iron Man
• Avatar
  

FEATURE: Stuff of the Decade

2009 is far over, this marks the new beginning of a decade. However, there's many things that are worth remembered by us for a long time to come, for example Movies, Music, Video Games, Sports, Technology, Major Events, News and more...

I know I'm late for doing this, but for the next few days I will countdown the Best or most shocking news of the decade... Stay tuned... xD
