My New Toy

One of the recent games I have played on my Xbox360 was Dead Rising. While it was fun killing zombies with wooden benches, flower pots and zombie arms, the other interesting thing about this game is taking pictures of thos zombie in action.

It's fun taking snapshots of people and the action and getting points for it. After awhile of having fun taking photos in the game instead of playing it, I just realised that I have been away from my photography hobby. I began looking through my old photos and wonder what I can do with them.

I grabbed a book called "Create You Own Photoblog" by Catherine Jamieson. With this book, I learn that you can create a simple photoblog to showcase your photos online. It seems quite simple to do so I followed the instructions from the book.

I compiled some of my old photos that I liked, registered a flickr account, got a webhost and domain name, installed a content management system on it and published my own photoblog. The book has many good tips for a newbie and a hobbyist photographer like me.

This photoblog is my new toy for now. I'll keep it updated by posting some new photos once in awhile. There are still some of my old photos that need to be scanned and some need some searching in the piles of old photo albums.

Xbox 360 rulez!

I've just bought my Xbox 360 console early this month. I know it's a little late but i guess this is just the right time to get it since the recent price drop. It's the white X360 with a 20gb hdd. I thought I had to get one cos I've been playing some games like Gears of War on my company's console and it's really fun to play. Furthermore, I need my own console to play GTA IV at home.

I bought GTA IV before I even got the console and it is a great game. As a racing fan, I bought Burnout Paradise with the console, another great game.

Looks like I'll be away from PC and PS2 gaming for now. :D

Onto the PSP

Just got myself a PSP Slim. Looks like I'll stop PC gaming for now.. and also on the PS2. In fact, I haven't been playing games much these days due to work. The PSP should help me with that, since I can use it to play while I'm on my way to work. As a racing game fan. The first game I bought was Burnout Dominator. It's as fun as playing it on the PS2.

Prey Demo

Looking forward to this new FPS next month. I've just completed the demo and found it amazxing. With new feature like wall walking, spirit walking, and death walking this game takes FPS into a new level. Also heard they have an "adaptive AI", which means an AI and control the AI in the game. The difficulty is adjusted as u play the game since u cant die.

The only prob is having motion sickness especially when you come into a room where there's a few wall walkways, a few gravitational points and some enemies thats shooting at you.

I'll defnitely get this game.
