Comex 2008 and Spore preorder

Hey people, as the title says I went to Comex 2008 and got myself a pre-order card for Spore. So today at Comex, I went through all the levels in Suntec with my dad and uncle. We did not actually go there to buy anything, only just to look see, look see and collect some brochures to later research whether the stuff selling had any good deals or not. Seems like LCD TVs prices are going quite well and saw many people buying Samsung brand and carrying off with it. A funny thing I saw was that the dealers were putting alot of stuff along with the TVs like vouchers, cables and even trolley to get people to consider buying their goods there and then.

After we went through all the levels in typical slow inching fashion, I chanced upon a PS3 booth and tried out Drake's Fortune since apparently everybody was looking at the MGS4 game. The game movement were pretty easy to get into and within 3 mins I was already jumping off ledges and solving puzzles. I played for awhile and it really felt like a male version of Tomb Raider and I got stuck in a part of the game that required me to run across a snakey bridge which I fumbled around with the controls cos I wasn't in sync with the controller's joystick feel. Anyway, we finished our scouting at 5pm and left for home.

But before that, I went to Parkway Parade to get myself the pre-order card at Comic's Connection and check out the art of the card!

Pretty cool stuff eh? I liked the final touch of placing a spaceship in the name of the game. The card lets me get the game as soon as its released and hopefully I'll be able to retrieve all the goodies that's exclusive to the event on top of the art book, DVDs and poster of the game included in the Galactic Edition. So with the card I'll be heading over to Funan DigitaLife Mall and I'll be taking a few pictures of the release event next Sunday so that I can upload onto the blog. That's all for now, better be doing some work. Cya!

Spore!

Hey everyone, another busy day on Sunday but I got some time to sneak in some updates. If you do not already know, I am really excited about Spore and the release date is coming out in September 7 which is a Sunday, that's 2 weeks from now OH SNAP!

I went over to the Spore website to check out on any announcements if it was going to come as plan and I discovered something interesting. It appears to be that on the release date their having a Debut event for Spore on the day from 12 noon to 5pm but that's not the reason why its so important, what IS important to note is that their giving out a free T-shirt with some designs they had made during the development of the game with every copy of the game while stocks last. Here's the promo picture:
And this is the shirt I'm hoping I can get and numbered to show if I can't get the first choice.
I'm sorry for the small type font but what it says on the shirt is pretty interesting: "Composed of Matter, Anti-Matter and it doesn't Matter. Anyway so it means I'll be going church earlier and then rush down to Funan and hope I can get my shirt, what do you guys think? The other shirts are Adapt me and Far Away from Home and they look pretty cool in just their designs.

Well for Saturday I was doing some digging out on game updates and firstly to announce for you Sims fans out there, The Sims 3 is coming in February 2009 so expect more Simlish talk from your pants-wetting, whoo-hooing, social crazy Sim creatures in Early Spring next year. Lastly I did some looking around in the forums are I chanced upon this and I'll end it off like this cya.

Where's my money, dude?!?

Man.... been waiting for the money from my internship and they finally sent an email saying their processing the money by this week......i hope they not going take even longer to pay my month's pay. Anyway the Leizpeig 2008 games convention has already started and a steady flow of trailers and video interviews have been feeding me my urge for info.

Stuff that got me excited for games coming up:
Far Cry 2's map editor:


Dawn of War 2 4th race The Tyranids:


Operation Flashpoint 2 first look:


I got a message from Clarence that he looking for new laptop. Seems like I'll be going down for the PC show with him too. Xiao Hui and Seri seem to be crazy for The Sims 3 which I think frankly really needs to outdo Sims 2 to be worthy enough for me to make a purchase otherwise its off to you-know-where to get it. I'll add more stuff when I get back home from work.

Same old shit

Another day at work and I still haven't received the pay yet zzz. In other news my friend over at Ang Mo Kio found a better deal for the PS3 then the one I found in Sim Lim Square :D Now the price is $650 for 2 controllers,1 High Def cable and a 40GB PS3. Sounds good to me so I'm gonna get it with him in September hopefully pushing down the price too.

Wed-nes-day(Osaka Day)

So its Wednesday and not much has happened though Haris did come from work to meet us at school during his lunch break for lunch. It has been a freaky 3 days since Sunday as Seri, XH and I keep bumping into Rick in the morning, sometimes lunch and even when we are leaving to go home! ZZZ.

Hmm dunno what all the guys are up to these days....

National Day

Well, it is Singapore's National Day today and it looks like it is going to rain pretty soon before the performance. I am not that enthusiastic about the National Day Parade and in fact I was thinking of going cycling now but....it has started raining already zzz. Called my friend Tommy a we decided to get both our PS3s in September when he gets his money and we'll buy together to try lower the price down. Well that's all for now cya in the next post tmr.

Mrhhh......

Hey people I'm back from the dead. Doing my Internship project in TP and its been pretty smooth sailing. My everyday life now predominately follows these few things: Games, Fallout, PS3, work, zombies and watching the odd anime episodes. My mind has been so influenced by the Fallout RPG series that I started drawing Vault-Boy in Fireworks and on anything I could draw on like this...

Man.....I'm getting too addicted to this game.... oh and for people who don't know who the hell Vault-Boy is, he is a mascot for the game and he looks like this:Thumbsup Vault-boy!

Well anyway I'm going to save up the money from my IP to get a PS3. My dad found a $890 deal for a 80GB PS3 Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle in Sim Lim today. Mind you, thats super hard to get in Singapore readily unless you order through the shop. The sad thing though is that all the money I would spend on the PS3 is going to drain my ability to get the reason why I am buying a console in the first place, Rock Band 2. Well I guess that



I really liked playing the Guitar Hero series but lately they have been more targeted to the hardcore players who can really shred the guitar which is why I am going for Rock Band 2 instead of the new Guitar Hero: World Tour coming out cos I like some challenge but not the crazy note playing coming out from GH:WT. Well I guess that is all for now. I post more often in the coming days with anything I would like to share on my blog.
