I called in sick today

Thanks to last night's running nose, bad headache and high body temperature, I decided to rest for the day today...

Here's a quick lowdown on what I've been doing recently.

1. Since I've brought back my bro's Gamecube to Malaysia, I've been playing it quite often. I've finished Eternal Darkness 3 times (sweet game. Highly recommended), started on Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (very very good game... I'm just stuck at this one place :/), played multiplayer Bomberman Generations, played a bit of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (a bit overwhelmed by the game...), played a bit of Viewtiful Joe 2, and finished Resident Evil 4 3 times :D

Resident Evil 4 aand Wind Waker gets my vote for being excellent games. Eternal Darkness is also excellent. Not many games get me to replay it multiple times, but RE4 and ED both managed to make me finish them both 3 times each.

I have also been downloading a couple of TV series: Drawn Together and Heroes. DT is an animated TV series that is wrong in so many ways, while Heroes is a great story of superheroes... except that they don't wear spandex costumes. Seriously, this show has great potential.

On the gaming news front: Nintendo's profit is up 70%, and Sony (as a whole) is down 94%. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is already out, and I've already played a bit of it. Necrons... are the bomb. I love the way how they are translated from the tabletop to the computer game. So, now we have 7 races without the 'Nids.

Guild Wars: NIghtfall is out, I think... and since I haven't even gotten Factions, I think I might skip this one out.

Regarding social life: Met up with friends during the weekend. Nothing much.

It's already 6pm. I guess I should go cook. Yes. Cook. HahHAHHAAH :P

One game console to rule them all...

Hi all!

In my bro's room right now. The UK weather is quite okay. The same old dreary weather... Rain.

So far everything's been good. The Prague trip was very nice. The city was beautiful! Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camcorder battery charger (the camcorder was somehow switched on while in my bag,) so there's no chance to take videos, and my bro forgot to bring his CF card for his camera. All we had were my bro's Motorola Razr which had a tiny 1.1 Mpx camera in it. Oh well.

The trip to Goodison Park took us a good 5 hours one way! The british railway system is unreliable as always (according to my bro). Lots of detours, but we managed to get there in time to see the pre-match stuff and kick-off. I even managed to catch Everton's goal right before half time on video! It was a game we should have won but ended up in a draw :( Kinda frustrated. We should have bagged in at least 1 more goal.

Now about the match, it was great... but the fans were bloody brilliant! With no commercials, no half-time commentaries, and all that EPL thingies we usually see on the telly, it was pure football. When we scored, the whole stadium (minus the Visitor's area) was in a total euphoria! Even my bro, who isn't a real football fan, was excited. Heh. And when ManCity scored the equalizer during injury time right before the final whistle, the disappointment was overwhelming. It's just football at its purest. Jolly good show I must say.

Anyway, I'll be out of here on Saturday, which therefore means I'll be back in Malaysia on Sunday night. I may or may not post another entry, but until the next time, ciaoz!
