You know there are alot of awesome things about being a white teenager living in KL, but being unable to work any job legally tops the list.
If I still lived in Melbourne I'd be off working some crappy fast food job along with the rest of the eastern suburbs public-school crowd, PAYING for booze/games/cyber cafe hours/clothes/dvd's with MY OWN money. Thank god for expat jobs.
But enough about me rolling yahtzee on the increasingly unfair dice game that decides if your born getting shot in Uganda or snorting blow off a diamond table in Dubai.
16th of November commemorates the day I was born into this hilariously fucked up world of ours, and after drooling over gameplay footage of so many new release games and realizing that my computer was so overloaded with porn-related virus's and useless applications that it now operates at the speed of a bean nailed to a carpet, I decided it was time to saddle up and join the console war.
I went with a PS3, the slow-starting black behemoth that is a testimony to Sony's oversized ego and arrogance that it procured after giving Microsoft and Nintendo a good butt-pump last console war.
It was a tough choice, but given my parents unwillingness to pay for online or drive me to a repair shop if an Xbox 360 choked on a copy of Fallout 3 and died, I decided to choose the aforementioned PS3.
And with this PS3 I got a copy of a shiney new release game; Resistance 2.
I'm finding it quite enjoyable, mainly because it reminds me so much of Halo 2 (Flood + Covenant = Chimera, think about it, Parasite + Advanced Alien Species = Chimera) that I played religiously on the smoking pile of foul black ash that was my original Xbox.
The controls are tight, the graphics mostly impressive (still havent seen it on the HD TV yet) and the weapons feel fresh and enjoyable. I'm still yet to sample what is supposed to be the games pride and joy, the online multiplayer, which requires a stable broadband connection (a rare thing in Malaysia) and so I have to find a way to hook up my USB modem to a router or something along those lines because apparently my neighbours wireless network just doesnt cut it at 40% connectivity.
And so thats about it for my first blog post, PSN is kafuz2000 if anyone is interested and hopefully I'll be getting shot in the face by voiceless 12 year olds soon.
