While I am still far from completing the game Dragon Age: Origins (20% progress on 35 played hours), last evening, I have completed the three add-ons of this epic dark fantasy – a spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate. If you are interested to find out if any of these add-ons worth your money, when the [...]

Experiencing Free Navigation And More
February 28th, 2010 6 Comments
When my mother first saw how my phone assisted me to navigate from Wheelock Place to The Big Splash on the road, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Hearing that all we need is the free satellite signal from above us even in the absent of mobile signal is enough to add that into her list of [...]
Mass Effect 2: A Masterpiece With So Many Things To Fall In Love With
February 6th, 2010 2 Comments
After spending more than 50 hours to explore every aspect of the game, I would say that Mass Effect 2 is indeed a masterpiece. No spoilers here of course. In my over two decades of computing gaming, there aren’t many games that keep me engrossed, playing over a sustained duration. The Mass Effect franchise could well [...]

“Pinnacle Station” is the 2nd downloadable content of the game Mass Effect. Unlike “Bring Down The Sky” – the 1st free content - “Pinnacle Station” costs S$9.99 to play. I have paid, played, and have completed the mission in the same day. Is it worth it? Read on and find out.

December 30th, 2009 4 Comments
I remember what school holiday was like. Or to describe my current sentiment more correctly: these two weeks of annual leave reminds me of what school holiday was like.

Let Them Come, For Frostmourne Hungers
December 13th, 2009 No Comments
Let’s keep it real. Who am I – a regular dude who has a full time job with little time to invest in character development and elite raider networking – to dream of defeating the Lich King? I reckon it would be a lot easier for me to get the S$1,288 life size legendary sword Frostmourne [...]

Almost 5 Years – A World Of Warcraft’s 5th Anniversary Inspired Post
November 25th, 2009 13 Comments
Yes, what you see here is a typical screenshot Cynthia and I see when we play an online game together, a massive one that players from different parts of the world gathered online. Looks complicated but it is like driving. After a while, it is second nature.
It’s been 5 years since World of Warcraft was [...]

I love photography. And it is not everyday news that you wake up one day discovering that the product you use has a new model is double as good. I am a proud user of SanDisk’s Extreme IV CompactFlash cards for my Nikon D700. It was their top of the line product trusted by the professional [...]
