I tag you!... Srsly. Whoever reads this gets tagged.



P.S. I'll be posting an entry about my short vacation soon.

Yes, I HAVE GTA IV! HAH! FINALLY!

After what I've said about GTA IV in one of my previous entries, it's kinda weird for me to get GTA IV. I said there's nothing much new but hey, scratch all of that! GTA IV's the best damn game I've played (since GoW, that is)! It's the first GTA game that I seriously played (I only free-roamed and killed people and drove like a madman in previous GTA's). The driving of GTA IV is better than previous games and you'll enjoy drifting around with flashy cars. Shooting is more fun with the cover system (ahem), the AI makes good use of it too. The cop chases? Still intense. The cellphone works like a charm whenever you need a date (and eventually grab some "hot coffee".. I bet you didn't get that. Think deeper) and whenever you need to bowl with your cousin. Minigames are loaded in the game too, like billiards or darts. You can go to the comedy bar and watch various acts to keep you entertained, or simply, watch the TV in your apartment.

To sum it all up: Liberty City is definitely kick-ass. The whole place feels so alive! It does a good job of replicating the real world. It truly deserves the 10 that Gamespot gave.

W-whazat? The game was given a M+ rating by ESRB. I'm nowhere near the age of 17. I enjoy playing the game even if I'm a minor. Don't worry, I don't visit the in-game Strip Club. And that's the bottomline, because Chiel said so.

*runs from the authority*

P.S. Pics to come at a later date. Maybe Sunday or Monday. We'll be heading to Baguio tomorrow. And that means I wouldn't be able to play GTA IV. Aaaww.

P.P.S. My teeth still hurts. But I can eat some solid food already. YES!

My teeth are still teh hurt. Aaargh. And the dentist said it would be gone after 3 days.

On a side note, I've made the font size of the blog smaller. It looks better that way.

My DL list for today (and probably tomorrow):
1. The Police - Greatest Hits (DOWNLOAD DONE!)
2. Avenged Sevenfold Discography (Halfway done. The discography I downloaded doesn't include the latest album, but heh, it has the City of Evil!)
3. Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks (... Well, it's their only album.)
4. Anthrax - Among the Living (I need to find one at thepiratebay.org)

Well, see ya in a while.

After about 30 hours of having braces attached, it's still teh shit.

Eating is a HELL LOT PAINFUL. Srsly.

Now if you wanna kick me in the face and say "Stop whining!", that's a bad idea. Im'ma smash your head against the wall if you do say that.

I wonder if tomorrow will be different. All I had to eat this day was lugaw. Yes. Lugaw for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus, champorado for an afternoon snack. Why? Since it's easy to swallow with no chewing at all.

In other non-pain-related news, my Rock Band vid I uploaded 3 months ago has more than a thousand views. I dunno how it happened, but heh, it happened!


I'm now hooked to watching the show entitled King of Queens. I never gave much attention to it before (I've seen it first at Star World). Now, since season 1 is being aired on Maxxx and is right before X-play, I decided to watch it. And it's definitely funny. Doug is like a real-life Homer Simpson and his father, Arthur, is just like Abe Simpson.

That's all as of now.

Now I have to take some more painkilling medicine. Aaaargh.

Yes, I sure did. I had braces attached and a tooth plucked out.

But as of the moment, I feel like shit.

The pain is killing me.

I can't eat. A bite is a one-way ticket to Hell.

Oh shit.

I'll try to be un-racist.

But I can't help it.

You see, some people say that "Black" people make the worst music. Why? It just talks about sex, money, drugs, women, violence, more women, weed and all the nasty things you can think of. All the rapping's repetitive and monotonous.

These people can do anything to make more money and spend them for drugs. Yeah.

And this brings me to the main topic of this entry, the video game titled 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

So let's read the plot of this game:
"50 Cent and G-Unit perform a concert overseas, only to find out that the promoter has stiffed them. Desperate to avoid 50's wrath, the promoter offers the group a diamond-encrusted skull as payment. Before 50 and the gang can bring their prize home, it is stolen by a group of international gangsters. Thus begins G-Unit's globe-trotting, gangster-slaying, havoc-wreaking search for the holy grail of bling."

First of all, why is 50 Cent the subject of a video game? Is he too good that he needs a video game of his own? Who is he? Chuck Norris?

Holy guacamole. Like "We're gonna kick your ass, motherfuckers!" *shoots like there's no tomorrow* "Still alive, eh bitchaz?" *shoots moar*

The pointless, non-existent plot makes me go nuts. "Diamond-encrusted skull". WTF? Like they've dug something out from the cemetery and paste it with diamonds? This is madness! And look, "international gangsters". I'd be happy if that was referring to the Mafia or something, but it's not! I bet it's talking about more niggers!

Let's move on to the actual gameplay. Oh look, 50 Cent has a partner throughout his gun-happy journey. Sounds familiar? Army of Two, anyone? And there's a cover system too! Sounds familar too? Gears of War plz? He-he-hey, what do we have here? There's also a helicopter mission where you use large-caliber weaponries! That AWEFULLY sounds familiar. Call of Duty 4 eh?

With the gameplay that we've all seen before, this is not gonna be good. NOT gonna be good.

The graphics are nice though.

You see, I would be happier if they made a game about another random, fictional "rockstar" that goes mad over a bunch of skull-stealing assholes, but 50 Cent? What the?

That concludes my entry today.

And please, watch this:


^ Best racist video ever from Mad TV.

I push my fingers into my eyes.. It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache..

In a state of calamity. That's what I am in. In Saturday I'll have two of my teeth pulled out of my gums and then have braces attached. Yeah. What a weekend it's gonna be. I'm gonna be screaming in pain and agony while the rest of you enjoy sitting around.

In other news, Grand Theft Auto IV was proven a smash hit for Rockstar Games. Another hit. [sarcasm]Like yay! Loop-de-loo![/sarcasm] I quite don't get how GTAIV managed to get a perfect 10. What the? It now outranked Gears of War and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion! In fact, it owned every single next-gen title that's out now! Other than the bumped-up graphics and the cover system (which is ripped of from another game *ehem*), I don't see any major changes. But since it has a perfect 10 and Gamespot is a reliable site, I am gonna buy it and play it to infinity >:)

I'll give my opinions about Pinoy blogging (or simply blogging). More than a dozen years ago, people enjoy writing about their personal lives in their so-called diaries. Which are oh-so-outdated. To be honest, I tried writing a diary (LOL) and it failed after a week. It's too boring and too plain when compared to what we have these days- Blogging. (Dun-dun-dun-daaa!) You see, blogging is just like a diary, except that it's on the intarwebz and anybody can view it (even your obsessed secret admirer). But that's what you want, PUBLICITY. That's the main difference of blogging with diaries. You do your best to keep your diary away from nasty giggling readers but you show your blog to the people. You even advertise em! It just feels darn great when you can share your opinions about things to the world. The whole world knows what you're up to, what your favorites are and etc. Now the Philippines has more than 120,000 bloggers (based on the show, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho which inspired me to make this entry). Imagine. More than a hundred thousand Filipinos leaking information about themselves in the internet. We have a strong blogging commmunity, and hopefully, our blogs last a lifetime. It's great for our grandchildren to read what we have written decades ago. But no, apparently, our blogs isn't just for writing our personal experiences. It can also be a source of income (KA-CHING!). Some Filipinos gain more than $300 a month just because of blogging. Holy smoke! I'll be rich! With that amount of money I can get a Wii! Well I'm not really in the appropriate age to apply for income-grabbing service of Google (AdSense) and I don't really desperately need some moolah so I'm gonna wait four more years. Hah.

That wraps it up for this entry. See ya.
