Last post before my trip.

Well, I'll be off to Japan tomorrow so I decided to post before I leave. I bought NFS:Undercover like 4 days ago because of Maggie Q. Damn my impulse buying. The game would have been good except for two things that made it irritating. One, there is some massive slowdown during many of the races. One minute my car is travelling at breakneck speeds, the next, I keep thinking i hit the slo-mo button. The next irritant was the cutscenes during every single prelude to the jobs. I mean, I know it's suppose to show off the guys driving skills but it can get really annoying if you have to restart them and you get 15 seconds of seeing cop cars and flashy lights and your guy turning out like in the second last mission.

But I know your not here only for the complaints. And yes I have encountered glitches. One is that when I sometimes hit pursuit breakers no matter the speed I'm travelling, I get stuck in them, like the petrol stations. Then, if that happens, I will reset my car when there are no cops around. But 9 out of ten times, one magically appears and its an instant 'Busted' for me. Another glitch/bug I found was something really useful. There's a race type called highway battle where u try to get 1000 ft in front of your opponent with large amounts of traffic. The later stages are really hard and it is very hard to avoid the other cars. During one such event, when I was about to win, I encountered two trucks blocking the road and a car on the left of them. Unfortunately, I knew I could not avoid any so I took my chances with the car on the left. Imagine my surprise when the car just disappeared, giving me a clear shot down the road. I never really noticed that happening but after that, i saw more and more trafiic disappearing, usually in my favor.

Played Left4Dead at a friend's house again. Powers still intact too. Encountered a huge amount of hordes, something my friend B says he has never seen. Then got my butt kicked by the Tanks that showed up in all sessions since they only seemed to like my character and always went for me first. And there was a large number of witches too. It was like every 5 mins, the crying would start. I estimate that in one section alone, about 4 spawned, again something B never encountered before even on the hard difficulty (and I was playing normal). And have you ever seen a Tank/Witch combo? The Tank will flail abt and smack you straight into the witch who then proceeds to rip you to shreds.

I guess thats enough for now. Gotta go.

Mirror's Edge and Crisis Core

Well, I completed the above two over the past week and guess what? C'mon, guess. Yeah, you got that right, I got glitches again for both. Mirror's Edge kinda froze when I ran into an area that begun loading and then backed out again. Oh and near the end, there was this guy on the roof that I was melee-ing and he got knocked to the floor near the roof edge. Then when he got up, he was suddenly pulled over the edge. Maybe the rooftops were haunted and the male (probably) ghost decided to save the hot Eurasian chick. Who knows? Oh and as a side note, this game is quite good but those with motion sickness should really stay away. The ending is crappy though and hints at a sequel since alot of loose ends aren't tied up.

Then in CC, I encountered a glitch with the Tonberries in the game. Sometimes, when Zack rolled while they were performing that grudge move they are so famous for, they would then do absolutely nothing after that. I mean, I left my psp alone for like 2 minutes and Zack wasn't even injured. BTW this was before I got Aerith's healing DMW. Maybe the Tonberries were so scared of lvl 7 Zack that they were too stunned to move.

Also, my friends think I emit radiation from my hands and thats why electronics go zonkers. Probably explains why my hands are also acidic. Give me a plastic bag and the colours run onto my hands. Metal stuff i handle often ends up getting rusty fast too.

Expanding.

I guess it would be kinda boring if i just related all my problems with games so i guess i'll just treat this blog as a normal one. maybe fill it with reviews or my dark thoughts of the world. but right now i think i'll just have to concentrate on studying for my exams. probably post next after the 3rd cuz i can't think of anything to say now.
