6 OMG Super Cool Moments of Skyrim
Guys, I know I've been blogging about Skyrim again and again these days - from reviews to tips and secrets - but just bare with me for this very last post, for Skyrim is 2011's Game of the Year, literally and figuratively. It's an awesome game, no doubt about that. Therefore, I find that it's only apt if I conclude the year with a dedicated post for all the insanely-crazy, simple, yet immensely-powerful moments which defines what Skyrim is all about.
1)He got skills!
Skyrim is a world of endless possibilities where anything can be possible - this will only mean that some crazy, crazy stuff will happen and this is simply one of the many examples, something more than a headshot.
2)Modified
Sometimes, the plain old game can be rather dull after a while. But when that time comes, just get online, search for some interesting mods and your Skyrim world can be really, really different - and not to mention, extremely retarded.
3)Music Classic
Seriously check this out man, that is one extremely talented, beautifully-pieced video of Skryim's main theme song, on violin classico.
4)Fus Ro Dah
"Fus Ro Dah" itself is almost synonymous when it comes to videos of Skyrim, where people sync the main theme song of the game with real-life-moments, just take a look (and max your volume if you may) and you'll see what I mean.
5)I took an arrow to the knee
Likewise, "I took an arrow to the knee", a joke inspired by Skyrim of course (which I don't really understand lol), has become largely popular. The best remix ever.

6)'Tis the season to be jolly!
Oh yes, when it comes to Christmas, it's all about decorations, gifts, and of course, lightings! And from this video, it's quite apparent that Skyrim has largely influenced his Christmas.

EA Brings Dead Space Onto Android, and now the iPhone and iPad
Damn the temptation. My final exam trials are just a week away and this comes up? It's simply too irresistible. Zombified aliens? Or more precisely, hordes of decapitated-but-perfectly-fine Necromorphs? Bring it on baby! But, wait a minute, didn't I just did that few years ago? And at the start of the year again (Dead Space 2)? Yes, but that was on the PC (or PS3/Xbox 360) and now, it's on the Android - see the link there? Aliens...android...dead space...awesomeness. Well, most mainstream games fail to do well on the mobile device due to the different controls, graphics, gameplay, bla bla bla...they're all simply excuses. Because, according to the reviews from users, as well as blogs, "Dead Space plays well. Incredibly well" according to Android Central, while Dave commented that it was "an absolutely stunning achievement" on the Android Market. Damn the temptation, again.
Here's a trailer but I reckon you are better off playing the game.
Get your copy from the Android Market here for $7.17 (RM21.50). Cheers!
Update:
Dead Space is now on the App Store!

8 Must-Know Tricks and Secrets of Skyrim
Save, save and save!
This is the most basic, yet extremely essential, simple action that you must get used to. After whatever you are doing, wherever you are and whenever it is, save before you proceed. This simple act is especially important during dungeon quests. After every 'horde' of enemies, after every turn (maybe not THAT extreme), SAVE. You wouldn't want to go all the way to the end, only to die under the final 'boss', would you?
Be generous
Don't be such a stingy dude, everytime you see a hobo roaming around the town, offer him a buck. Why? Because that simple action, that one buck which costs you nothing at all, gives you a bonus to sell your items at a much higher price. 1 Buck for 50? Definitely worth it. (:
Speed Travel
It's okay if you are too lazy to explore all of Skyrim by foot. Find a carriage just outside a town and instantly travel to the town you want. Do note that only larger towns are available though.

Comic Fiesta 2011: Photos + First Byline
If you were christmas shopping or simply hanging out around the KLCC area last weekend, it would be hard for you to miss the large presence of those visiting the on-going Comic Fiesta which was held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, now it its 10th year. Seriously, coloured wigs, striking costumes, intricately-designed props - they were everywhere!
I've got to admit I'm not a massive fan of ACG (animation, comics and games), and I was only covering the event for The Star's youth section, R.AGE. You see, I only read Naruto mangas (which I gave up halfway) and only watched some animes - like super infrequently. However, covering the event gave me a whole new perception and a whole lot of insight into this industry, and how many people are actually that obsessed with it. And for that, I respect them.

Steam Holiday Sale is Back! Bigger, Better, Greater.
Every single game on Steam for free? Just Cause 2 for a mere $4.99 (RM15)? Portal 2 for only $7.49 (RM22.5)? What is this! Okay, seriously, this is not a joke and neither is this a scam. This is simply the ultimate sale a video gamer could wish for - Steam's annual holiday sale which runs until the 1st of January 2012. And the games aforementioned were only two out of the many, many games on massive sales, with some up to 80 and if I'm not mistaken, 91% asdjjkasdh OMG!Anyway, not all the games will remain at the discounted price as some are special daily deals. Therefore, if the games you want are not cheap enough, you may want to check again the next day. Who knows, you may get it at 75% after one week! (:
At the same time, a campaign will be run simultaneously where you will stand a chance to get every single game on Steam for free - but that of course it's the grand prize. Basically, "The Great Gift Pile" gives you six objectives where you will need to easily complete it. Then, you will be automatically rewarded with a 'gift' or a 'coal'. Yes, a coal. But, the twist is that although it sounds stupid and useless, it can be used to 'craft' into a 'gift', or you can save it and the more you have, the better your chances are to win that ultimate prize.
Well, what are you waiting for, get yours now here. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas! :D

Facebook Timeline Now Available
Well, well, well, after about 2 months since Mark Zuckerberg's first announcement, and after facing a lawsuit against timeline.com, Facebook has finally revamped its design on our profiles - which will be now known as timelines. And as what it is called, Facebook will break down your profile in terms of months and years (up till your date of birth but that section will really has nothing much unless you had a Facebook account since birth!). So basically, you can now easily track your own profile, as well as (stalking) others for each year. Let's say, I can go to 2009 and see what I did and what happened during the year. Who I 'friended'? Where did I go? My statuses? Check.
So is this, yet another change on Facebook, for the better or for the worse? First off, I do believe that the design is improved, especially the 'cover' photo on your profile which enhances the 'first impression'. However, on the timeline, which tracks past events easily, may or may not be better. I don't know, what do you think?
Note: You can get your timeline here.
