R4 for Nintendo DS

Posted in Games  by Rey | March 14th, 2007

This invention rocks. Thanks to it, my DS is able to play downloaded roms now. Not only that, the procedure of getting things to work is easy (yesh, much easier than PSP… with less risk too xD). Anyways, I downloaded quite a number of games that I have been wanting to play, and here are some of the games that I am loving (so far…).

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team

I love this game, A LOT! The concept is simple, 2 pokemons (your pokemon partner and you) making a rescue team and… rescue pokemons that are in trouble. I know it sounds stupid… but it is addicting as hell. xD

Final Fantasy III

I haven’t really played the game for very long, but it is looking good so far. Square did the right thing for this game, take my word for it.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

I am a big fan of the Castlevania series… so that makes me an instant fan of this game. It plays like the other hand held Castlevania games: The castle exploration, the half-assed RPG elements, the Dracula storyline yadayada. Like the other Castlevania titles, the game offers AWESOME music, so try to download them or something? Oh, this game also offers a new co-op system… it involves the 2 main characters (yeah, there are 2 main characters, a male and a female) working together to complete certain “problems”.

Megaman ZX

It’s Megaman! Need me to say more?

New Super Mario Brothers

We grew up playing Mario Bros. on the NES. Now that there is a remake of the game (with LOTS of improvements), everyone should try it! :D

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

It plays like Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on the GBA… + Junior Mario and Luigi… wtf?

That’s about it, I guess… can’t wait for Fire Emblem to come out on the DS. Make it quick Nintendo!

Sony Ericsson k800i Rox Baby

Posted in Life  by Rey | March 7th, 2007

What does one do when he/she got the best 3.2 mega pixel camera cell phone that the market has to offer and a new hair style? I can guarantee you that the person will take LOTS of photos of him/herself just to test out the phone. Anyways, I did just that (not that many, I look like crap in photos… so I know how to hold myself yo) and I gotta say Sony Ericsson k800i rox!

Another thing that I noticed today is that YouTube has removed all of the South Park related videos from their website… So the Red Rocket video on my older post is gone… damn you YouTube, I hate you.

Finally, an Update!

Posted in Drama, Life  by Rey | March 5th, 2007

The last time I made an update to this blog was in the October of the year 2006 (that’s last year lol). So here I am again, back in Sydney, with a fast internet connection, ready to post more stuff into this blog.

To begin, I went back to Indonesia for my holiday for around 3 months? Yeah it was kinda long, thanks to that, I was unable to make any kind of update to any of the sites I own within the 3 months time period. I did the usual stuff there, enjoying Indonesian food as much as possible (it is one of the reason I enjoy going back to the country so much, the FOOD), meeting my parents and enjoy my time with them (with some arguments of course lol).

Some of the highlights must be me getting myself a new Sony Ericsson k800i (the best 3.2 mega pixel cellphone currently on the market), coloring my hair (light brown) and changing my hairstyle (Super Saiyajin 2, Son Goku ftw).

The phone was sponsored by my dad, after I gave my old Samsung SGH-D500 to my cousin as her birthday present (she is only what… 10 years old?)

As for my hair, I decided to just test it out with different colors since the holiday was so long. I was pretty satisfied with the end product. Some people like it, some don’t… but as long as I like, that’s all that matters, right? :P

Oh and another thing is that I passed my exam… I barely made it with a score of 58, 64 and 70… but it is already pretty good considering the time I took to prepare for the exam (and I have always thought that I will fail at least 2 out of the 3 subjects).

So what is my daily activity like in Sydney now? It is pretty simple now since I have not started with my jobs yet. I have class twice a week, and other than that I am pretty much a free man. In the morning, I would wake up at around 11 and get myself a heavy breakfast… and then play some games (or do some work) if there is no class in the day. Then I would eat my dinner at around 6pm (yeah I only eat twice a day now to keep myself in good shape). At night, my friends will start sending me messages on MSN to play DotA with them… the game was interesting at first, but I am starting to get sick of it, with all the internal conflicts and all when my own team loses… this is why I hate team game (I don’t lose in individual game, btw :D).

As for drama, I just finished watching Nodame Cantabile, it is pretty good since the show is able to keep lots of the emotions from the comic. The orchestrated music is pretty awesome as well.

I think that’s about it… I will post more in the next update if there is anything that I missed on. Ja~
