Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman has been a hot issue for these few days ever since the game release and badly criticize from Steam users, Warner Bros even announce they decided to suspend the sales until they fix the PC performance issue.

I'm planning to try the game but seems like I'd better wait till they fix the issue since I'm playing on PC. Oh well... decided to kill some time by visiting Deviant Art and check out if there's anything interesting :P

I found out some pretty cool Wallpapers done by MinionMask:

If you like his work, he also accepts wallpaper request so just head over and drop him a message!

Final Fantasy XIV "Eorzea Symphony"

I've been playing Final Fantasy XIV for some time and I can definitely conclude that it is the best MMO that I've ever play <3

I'm currently playing the new expansion "Heavensward" and it has not disappoint me so far. Even the commercial for Heavensward is top class... very impressive indeed! Now take a look and tell me what you think :P

So cool right? I was discussing this with my friend and we thought it could be done with CGI... but we have never been so wrong. Lesson learnt: Don't underestimate Japanese level.

Check this another 2 min Commercial again and think again:

As seen from the video description:
“Eorzea Symphony” is a sound installation which plays FINAL FANTASY’s theme song with the sound effects made by 143 laptops and one player piano. 9 Surfaces, 7 MacBooks, 53 Latitudes, 6 G tunes, 2 Unit coms, 1 msi, 10 Gallerias and 2 iiyamas – all 143 laptops in total plus 1 automatic piano are synced by a unique algorithm. The players’ actions in a game setting “Eorzea” create a brand-new symphony."

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW O_O

Still can't believe? See The Making Movie below and see how they get it done.

They even created a special site for this: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/3.0cm/

You can event go and have a visit as there is event that is open to public to experience "Eorzea Symphony"! How i wish I live in Japan :(

The Witcher Cosplay

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game release and i'm really tempted to get one to try out. Game reviews are mostly positive and scored at least 9/10! Probably i will get one copy from my friend since he did bought a MSI gaming notebook recently and it comes with the game for free :D

I have been actively follow up The Witcher 3 on social media and this caught my attention - The Witcher 3 cosplay! It was really impressive.

What say you? It's simply beautiful! This lady totally nailed it. 

Some fans even commented they would ask the developers for this XD 

It'll be great if there is this Special Edition of Witcher 3, lol.

Meanwhile i will enjoy this launch cinematic trailer until I can play the game. Seriously, they should make a movie for The Witcher <3

Tree of Savior is coming to Steam!

I still remember the days I used to play Ragnarok Online (RO) with my friends, it was my first MMORPG game, sure do bring back lots of memories ;) ever since that, i fall in love with gaming!

When i heard Ragnarok 2 is out (i think it was about 1 or 2 years ago), I tried it with my friends again. However, i would conclude that Ragnarok 2 is very very fail.... I quit RO2 after 1 or 2 months playing because of two main problems: LAG & BUGS.

Well, enough ranting! Now, we are talking about Tree of Savior! What does it have to do with Ragnarok? Check this out:

Kim Hakkyu, the Project Director of “Arcturus”, “Ragnarok Online”, “Granado Espada” and “Wolfknights” will be starting the first Closed Beta Testing (CBT) for his new MMORPG, Tree of Savior (TOS). The CBT will begin on January 15th to 18th for a total of four (4) days.

Tree of Savior is famous for being the successor of “Ragnarok Online (RO)”.Those who have played RO are familiar with its 2.5D graphics and an isometric viewpoint of the surrounding. Tree of Savior is similar, but with improved graphics. Gaming mechanics however resembles more of an earlier creation of Kim Hakkyu titled “Arcturus”.

Source: http://treeofsaviorgame.com/review/1197/ros-successor-tos-first-cbt-preview/

To me, Tree of Savior looks more like the real RO2! Take a look at the gameplay video and you will know why.

Can't wait for this game after Steam has officially confirmed Greenlit! 

This couldn't been done without the support of the community, as mentioned by TOS Team:

Tree of Savior is now Greenlit within less than 10 hours after we made the submission. 

It's awesome :D  

However, they have not confirm on the actual release date. I will be patiently waiting for this game. If you would like to know more update on the game development, go ahead and check the developer blog HERE. 

DIY for My personal things.

I love to do something DIY. My mom taught me some when I were little. We are really traditional family.  

Today, I am going to teach you guys how I make my personal things. It is really fun and hopes you will enjoy.

First, you need to buy the any kinds of pads. Or you can make it for the tissue bag as well.  

Second, prepare some fabric square you want for the back of your pouch. Put the fabric FACE UP on a work surface. Mine is face down. Don’t make that mistake! Take the other squares and fold them in half and “finger press” them as shown. One rectangle to the bottom half of the base square with open edges out and folded side in. Add another rectangle to the right side of the square the same way, folded side in. Start sewing in the top corner of the pouch. Sew a straight line leaving about a 1/2″ seam allowance.

Once you done you will be very proud of yourself. It does really easy and cute!

Celebration in Korean BBQ

Today we celebrated my anti son’s 1st Birthday at this restaurant with 30 guests. It was a fun birthday party and the food was wonderful.  Koreans call the first birthday “Tol” and often times there is a “Toljabee” event. This event is considered the highlight of the party because the birthday boy/girl is dressed in traditional Korean garments called “Tok-Bok” or “Ham-Bok”. The child sits in front of a table full of festive fruit, rice cakes, and other food along with the Toljabee items.

A reason why we picked this restaurant because of the owner they all came from Korea as well. And it is a whole new cuisine. Their foods are really traditional and very fresh. If you ever been to Korean BBQ that you must to know cook your own food it does really lets you fully immerse yourself in the dining experience. A Korean BBQ restaurant is a magical paradise food ever. Every table has its own built in personal grill. You do all of the cooking, with some help from the servants.

In addition, this place is all you can eat which means you can eat whatever you want. There will be plenty of food to go around during meal time. You can keep ordering a couple of dishes of meat and keep ordering more as you finish and determine what you like. The owner is really friendly. They would not distribute your dining time. And they will ask you if you need more or other things and set no time limits. This is the way how friendly we used to treat others.     

  

What a hilarious “GT80 Game Like a God”

What’s a hilarious “Game Like a God”

Shout out to GT80 Titan fanatics for the features and should out to MSI for making such an incredible impact. I do love all kinds of gaming things. And this laptop is the best laptop for heavy games. Furthermore, I want to say this machine is the FIRST I ever seen as powerful as I expected. I got this on White Valentine’s day. I brought this GIANT as my valentine’s gift. I am spending my 2015 White Valentine’s day with this GIANT alone. What a hilarious. Playing and spending time with GT80 Titan. So it becomes my family now. Actually my GT80 TITAN baby is very unique. Until now, no one can compete with. The GT80 is providing for world Top Gamers or the hardcore gamers. Wish someday I can become one of those TOP GAMERS.

These days my GIANT  BABY gonna be a big part of my life, but I’m gonna try to use it in a more healthy way.

The GT80 Titan has the first mechanical keyboard in the world (I am really honor to be one of the FIRST!) It delivers the great firm feedback and comes with the most powerful gaming machines with premium specs I was looking for. As I know, it's already including the best features which are gamers’ favorite the most. Can you see the keyboards are so spectacular? The keyboard is designed with Cherry MX switch which makes the GT80 look marvelous and spectacular.

The most popular type of tactile, non-clicky switch is the Cherry MX Brown. The switch is a good middle-of-the-road option appropriate for both typing and gaming. They are also ideas for typing in office environments, where a clicky switch might annoy some. Clicky switches add a deliberately louder ‘click’ sound to the existing tactile bump, allowing for greater typing feedback. It makes me think that maybe I spend way too much time stuck down like this.

Also features the num pad is the trackpad. On the upper left of the trackpad, where a num lock key would be is a toggle that allows you to between modes.
It also means there's no room for a trackpad, so instead this is set off to the side where it also doubles as a number pad, with a touch button for switching between the two modes.

The GT80 Titan features an 18.4 inch display with 4K Full HD screen and monitors. Also, it comes with the most powerful components which have NVIDIA’s latest GeForce GTX SLI 980M discrete GPU. I will be able to enjoy games or any entertainments at once. Even though with undeterred for other online-heavy games as well. It offers the fastest response times and perfect for gaming experience something never thought. I suggested that whoever want to buy the GT80 and have budget concern. They may go visit the store and test a water first that would be the best.

There is a dragon design on the upper of the keyboard. Actually that is a cover which can removable and you can easily slide off. You can upgrade the hardware and ram. It sort of customized your gaming laptop. I never heard of any laptop can do such incredible thing like this. That’s why I keep mentioned this is the first one and ever laptop you can DIY by yourself.

Let’s take a look regarding the left edge. It has an air vent, Kensington lock slot. And also have the blu-ray drive and an SD card slot. It got three USB3.0 ports and optical audio and then two 3.5mm audio connectors which are GOLD plated which deliver the most advanced hearing experience on gaming laptop, averagely enhance 30% of the sound signal. I have to say once you put on the headphone and play the games. You definitely may identify the position of the enemies and minimize the distortion, which is the perfect design for gaming headset spec. You really can enjoy the atmosphere.

So move on, on the right side, there are two USB 3.0 ports which sit beside the air vent. In terms of overall dimensions, the GT80 Titan is weighed in at 4.5kg and 4.9cmin thickness. It is truly 18.4” with the slimmest gaming laptop in the world.

And at the front side of the GT80 Titan SLI has a dragon shield status LEDs with dual mini DisplayPort connectors, then get an HDMI 1.4 port.

On top of that, the GT80 provided stronger feedback than I’ve experienced on most of the gaming laptops I’ve played. Too many people see playing games as a bad thing. I see it as being one of the best advantages that you have. I feel like I play it more compulsively than I imagine, but maybe for not quite as long as we’ll see what happens tomorrow. It wouldn’t kill me to keep my head here, more often during the day and my life. I’m trying to get off my GT80 GIANT BABY so I can go to bed……now!

Street food- Boong-uh bbang

When I was little, my mom used to prepare a pack fish pancake before I go to Sunday school at church every Sunday. It called "Boong-uh bbang" in Korean.

People usually eat this during the winter. Goldfish Pastries tasted so yummy...especially with chocolate. This is such a heartwarming-filled with childhood-memories illustration. It is wonderfully composed. This street food comes from South Korea. They usually come with the ice cream, a rice wafer in the shape of a goldfish is filled with creamy vanilla or sweet syrup. Sometimes they will put some ice cream with a layer of sweet red bean paste beneath top shell. It is the ice cream version of the Korean Street Food. The creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had. The vender not serves only with fish shape but also have waffle, stars, chestnut…etc. Also, the Boong-uh bbang has different flavors such as green tea rice cake/mocha layer, chocolate, banana, strawberry…ect. You can choose whatever you want. It was very simple and easy to make the one I had when I was young.

Maybe you could try some next time when you at home. The home made must be totally terrific excellent than others. Make your own Boong-uh bbang. 

Anipang 2

Anipang 2

This one is the first version released on 2012. During 2012, there are now similar types of games come out at the same time such as Bejeweled-like puzzler created by the South Korean startup developers SundayToZ. And I love this one because it’s cute also its Korean language as well so I can read and play easily. (that’s the main point. kk)

But in 2014, they had a new version “Anipang 2.” Every character and icon comes up with cutesy and, funny, witty, ingenious, and adorable. Also their back ground music is just as good as first successful game on messaging app KakaoTalk’s gaming platform. This new version makes me want to play and play all the time. Once you play just cannot stop playing. You might get so many different rewards in daily mission. There is a lot of potential here to keep you coming back for more.

Recently, I’m playing this game during my lunch break, doing exercise, on the bus…etc.

Actually you don’t have to think anything that just really simply to make you happy, only needs to play and success in the daily achievement. See very simple and kill your time whether you are sitting in a waiting room before your next appointment, waiting in line, or simply have a lunch break. Addition, I recommended this game to friends who wants to learn their second languages; you might start to consider to play this game. 

Dreamhack 2014 - The Scandal of Esports

"Oh Why of Why Fnatic?!"

Dreamhack has always been one of my favorite events to follow and it's always fun to watch the various competitions going on like CS:GO, SC2:HOTS, LOL and DOTA2.

But this year it was really a moment of madness that drew the most attention. See the video.

 Fnatic have always been strong at Dreamhack being the past winners for many years. And facing them in the quarter finals was LDLC which always come up short when facing Fnatic. However this time at Dreamhack they put up a very good fight and managed to split the first 2 maps.

On the deciding map de_overpass they managed to win the pistol round and pulled ahead with a 13-3 lead. But then Fnatic decided to do a 3-man boost that essentially broke the map as they had almost full view of the entire map. With the boost they were able to make an impossible comeback and win the second half and secure their spot in the semi final.

In my opinion it was a racy decision from Fnatic as even though it wasn't an illegal boost, the move really broke the map and some even said it was close to pixel walking which was illegal. (my inner gamer girl though was really thrilled at the Godlike maneuver. Lols)

Another thing was that LDLC also used an illegal boost on the kioshima from the CT spawn so the fair decision from Dreamhack officials was a replay of the last map. However at this time Fnatic decided to forfeit the match instead of re-contesting it.

Anyways, it's all to much stress as i hope esports can really recover from this. From '322' in Dota2 to this happening in CS:GO.. Whhhhyyy!!!??

Meow.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

"Kevin Spacey is my new McDreamy"

(First Reveal Trailer back in May 2014)

I just love his acting and was quite surprised when i first saw the trailer. Just the right amount of vitriol mixed in with charm. (think that's my new relationship kryptonite)

Update: They've just released a new trailer for their zombie gameplay with John Malkovich in it. Wow.

Anyways, i've just got my hands on the game and been playing for the past week. And i must say it's awesome. I was first introduced to the COD franchise when my college mates invited me to play Zombie Mode on COD: World at War. I really like the pace of the game and started playing other COD titles like Black Ops when it came out.

Now with Advanced Warfare i'm really liking the new gameplay and kinda comparable to Titanfall as well. (hey i love mechs and just so happen i got it as a b'day pressie)

(I watched this trailer and boy was i pumped! Goliaths in the video! Are you kidding me?!)

Gameplay was very familiar after playing Titanfall as the Exo-Suit movements is pretty similar to the Wall Running/Parkour skill in that game.

The single player mission follows you as Jack Mitchell who Mr. Iron (Kevin Spacey) takes under his wing and enlist at Atlas Corporation to train as a new Exo soldier.

(First sequence when you start playing)

There are a total of 15 missions and takes place at locations all over the world.

I won't review the missions as the storyline is very good and everyone should experience it themselves. But some of the 'levolution' (sorry BF4) that happens is pretty awesome and quite cinematic.

Multiplayer is definitely more fun as they combine alot of ideas from Titanfall and Battlefield. Now you can customize your character from boots to gloves to helmets. Loadout for games are pretty similar to previous COD games with a finite number of points available which to equip your character with.

Additional equipment like attachments, skins and other cosmetic items are earn through supply drops during multiplayer. This lets you customize everything to suit your gameplay. IGN has this very useful guide that covers everything.

I've only just completed the single player mission and now trying my hand at multiplayer so i'll post up more reviews of the gameplay and maybe share some of my favorite loadouts.

Malaysian E-sports goes back to the stone age.

"I Cants Takes It Any Mores!!"

It's been a heartbreaking 2 weeks full of drama and a roller coaster ride.
Previously i was very sad to read that Team DK would be disbanding after Ti4.
Then happy that Mushi was back in Malaysia and reforming with his old Orange teammates.
Then drama because of the 'PH 322' scandal that happened at the StarLadder Season 10 Dota2 tournament.  http://bit.ly/1saxJB8
Then MORE drama as Arrow Gaming team was implicated in their own match fixing scandal.

I first found out about this on Gosugamers when they report  on the 'PH 322' scandal and there was info stating another team was involved as well.
http://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/news/28842-arrow-implicated-in-matchfixing-scandal

I was waiting for more updates and news when the organizers and sponsors decided to remove Arrow Gaming from the competition and lifetime ban ddz and Lance from Synergy League. Pain! So cruel! And at that time i was thinking how can so harsh?
https://twitter.com/BTSGoDz/status/523479393939636224
https://twitter.com/dreamknoxville/status/523493672902725633

As i was searching for more updates and new gossip about the scandal, my friend post on FB about an announcement by ddz that it was all a mistake and they did nothing wrong.
http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2jppl4/i_am_ddz_i_am_not_322/

They explained their situation and even show screenshots of convo to proof that nothing was illegal. The main thing they explain was the lost because of bag lagging at the cc and made bad picks. As for their gf's betting, they have no control over that and they were not involved.

I was breathing a sigh of relief at this but really thought the screenshots look too fishy. Even the commentors from the reddit post didn't belief and some show proof of how it can be faked.

But then their manager Jaren Gan (https://www.facebook.com/gjaren post on the wall that the posting on reddit wasn't officially from them.
http://bit.ly/1nxIsKx

Arrow Gaming at this point issues a proper official statement that they aware and investigating the scandal
Statement - http://on.fb.me/1CYFIrb

Next thing you know! Arrow Gaming fires ddz and Lance and issues a statement from their manager Jaren Gan
Statement - http://on.fb.me/1xbfCiN

Drama! So Saddd!!

At this point there were more things happening behind the scenes as suddenly the organizers issued an official statement lifetime banning THE WHOLE ARROW GAMING TEAM from competing in their competition.
Statement - http://bit.ly/12fzf00

The fallout from this continues as now Arrow Gaming has fired the entire team and also their manager as well.
Statement - http://on.fb.me/1DCziQX

And while all this was happening, it really over shadowed the triumph of Mushi's Team Malaysia when they got their first title by winning the Thailand DotA2 Championship. That should have been the main story focus since it's Mushi combining with his old team mates and planning their road back to glory for Malaysia. But now everyone is just talking about our own 'MY 322'.  /facepalm

Mushi's team manager actually posted a long summary of the scandal with more screenshots of what happened behind the scenes and exposed a few things about Arrow Gamings ex-manager. If you're looking for more juicy gossip then head over to this reddit thread here http://bit.ly/1zliI9r

Me? I'm going to lie down and console myself with a macha-shake and a nap afterwards. Meow!

Popular amongst gamer friends, with a free gift too!

A good friend of mine just got this new rig after his old one died. Looks great right? Asked him why he chose this over the other recommendations from his friends, he said this GE60 Apache Pro 2PE from MSI had the best specs for his budget. I think the MSi Kinzu Series mouse that came with the laptop is even cuter! Friend thinks so too, and mentioned it was even too cute to be used. Haha.

OMG! LoL Competition on National TV?

Was in Korea for holidays and guess what? They actually show e-games on national TV! Managed to catch the League of Legends Regional Finals on TV, and I was so engrossed my parents had to almost drag me out of the hotel to go sightseeing. Haha. I think it is great that e-sports is so well accepted in Korea. How I wish it was the same here!

Halloween 2014 - Cosplay or Costume?

Yippee! Halloween is just around the corner and I'm almost done with my costume. But before i do my big reveal, i just have to share the biggest girl crushes i have on these fabulous [and sexy!] female halloween costumes.

All of them cosplayed or 'costumed' as a character that i wanted to cosplay as well. Anyways, i think they did a much better job lohh.

The look of the female cosplayers here really appeals to me as a girl but its going to be a loooonnggg time before my craft skills can match these people. Meow!

Anyways, another idea that people like to do is character mash-ups. This lets people get really creative and mix n match details from a few of their fav characters. Some of the cutest (and weirdest ones) i found are like the Snow White Princess in Battle Armor

https://www.flickr.com/photos/howiemuzika/14827908677/in/set-72157646376649740/

And this Harley Quinn Slave Leia mashup. Sexy and Cute!

Oh well, its back to finishing up my own costume for halloween this year. Gotta wait for the big reveal soon as i finish up all the accessories. Plaster and cardboard is such a paininthea
