The Gaming Misadventures Of Yoroi360 (Xbox 360) and Yoroi3 (PS3)

RPG Goodness…

2009-11-07T21:53:00.001+08:00

Picked this up on the 6th and have been hooked ever since!!! Thank you Bioware!!!

BYO Internet…

2009-10-31T12:46:00.001+08:00

The internet connection at my wife’s family home in Ipoh in on a fritz, thank goodness for ICS!!!

Borderlands…

2009-10-25T14:48:00.001+08:00

I picked up Borderlands on the 23rd and its been a swell ride… The enemies are well varied and come thick and fast, the missions offer decent variety and the loot is just awesome (I honestly don’t see why some game reviewers are complaning about the amount of loot in the game)!!!

The only complaint that I have about this beautiful game is that there is ALOT of walking involved… ALOT!!!

Other than that, the only words I want to use to describe the game are AWESOME and SPECTACULAR…

If anyone wants to co-op, add me on live…

OMG!!! I Can’t Believe It!!!

2009-10-22T01:43:00.001+08:00

OMG OMG OMG!!!

I just received a Sgt Johnson code courtesy of bsangel (owner of the hottest gaming blog, http://hawtymcbloggy.com/)!!!

Now if you excuse me, its time to kick alien butt as the coolest hero in the galaxy…

Metal!!!

2009-10-15T03:44:00.000+08:00

Picked up Brutal Legend on the 13th but haven’t really had time to give the game the attention it deserves, perhaps this weekend will be a good time to put the game through it’s paces…

They Fixed It…

2009-10-11T17:47:00.001+08:00

Looks like the connection at home is back to normal… Firefight anyone???

Another Little Purchase…

2009-10-10T18:40:00.001+08:00

I picked up a Steelseries headset with a 7.1 USB sound card yesterday afternoon as I was tired of shopping for a set of speakers that are small enough to be placed in the mini home office…

An interesting thing to note about the USB sound card is that although the box or the website does not say that it will work with Windows 7, it does work… There were no issues with the driver installation and I have not experienced any form of weirdness so far…

The 7.1 mode works well with games and seems to be easier to set up under Windows 7 compared to the 7.1 mode of the Asus Xonar D2X pci-e card… So far I’ve tested it with Resident Evil 5 and COD 5 and they both sound great… Movies seem to have benefited from my little purchase as well as they sound awesome (note: all except for the Dolby Digital Night Mode which sounds a little muddled even though it is supposed to make the speech more distinct)… Overall I highly recommended purchase if you are willing to drop RM 350.00 – RM 400.00!!!

Bungie.net Is Awesome!!!

2009-10-09T01:44:00.001+08:00

Bungie has definitely taken the gaming experience of ODST and Halo 3 one notch up through the aggregation all your game stats into your lifetime service record… In other words, every game is tracked and all the stats are uploaded to your profile for you to view and analyze… You can even compare your stats with a friend and see how you stack up… Awesome stuff eh???

Here are some screenies from a sample comparison of my stats against MarauderzMY…

Its touches like these that put ODST and Halo 3 in a league of their own…

Looking For A Firefight Buddy???

2009-10-06T21:51:00.001+08:00

Need to pwn and get the firefight achievements??? Add the multi-killionaire MarauderzMY to your friends list and watch the achievements come in thick and fast!!!

I Am A Pacifist…

I guess the pic speaks for itself :)…

All By Myself…

2009-10-02T22:13:00.001+08:00

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

Got Em All!!!

2009-10-02T00:05:00.001+08:00

I finally finished my multi-kill medal collection today!!! With the addition of the Killpocalypse! medal, I finally have em all!!! Oh and I got my second Killionaire too!!!

Here’s a close up of the Killpocalypse! medal…

Hmm I wonder what medals I’ll get tomorrow… Hmmm…

EDIT:

This post is dedicated to KEVINMYUS, as if it was not for him declaring that he was gonna get a Killionaire medal ASAP, I wouldn’t have been driven to get myself another one…

Congratulations are also due to MarauderzMY for getting his first Killionaire!!!

Killionaire!!!

2009-10-01T01:04:00.001+08:00

I am finally a Killionaire!!!

This is a closer look at the medal…

Hmm I wonder what medal/s I can unlock tomorrow… Hmm…

Statistically Sound…

2009-09-30T00:20:00.001+08:00

I’m a little too tired to play firefight or the ODST campaign tonight so, I am just gonna look at my ODST gameplay stats (I really like the improvements to the layout of the bungie,net interface)…

It appears that I get most of my points from the gravity hammer, silenced smg and the fuel rod cannon, interesting… I would have thought that the auto magnum or the gun turret would be the main contributor of all my firefight points… Looks like I was wrong…

Parts Update (Part 6)…

2009-09-26T15:52:00.001+08:00

It seems like this is becoming a recurring trend… Just a month from the last upgrade, I have added something else… A new Western Digital Black 1TB 7200rpm 32MB cache hard disk!!!

Just look at all that glorious space just waiting to be filled up… Beautiful isn’t it???

Messenger problems: Cannot sign in, no error code - Windows Live Community

2009-09-26T15:04:00.001+08:00

Messenger has been giving me some problems lately as it wouldn’t allow me to sign in on my desktop… It signs in just fine on my laptops and netbooks but it just wouldn’t sign in on the desktop eventhough all the devices were connected to the same network… Strange eh??? Thankfully I managed to find a fix… If you guys are experiencing the same issue, try out the link below and see if it helps…

Halo 3: ODST…

2009-09-25T00:54:00.001+08:00

I got Halo 3: ODST a couple days ago but I’ve haven’t had much time to pen my thoughts about it…

Halo 3: ODST is best described as an expansion pack rather than a full game… Sure its got a new campaign, a new multiplayer mode and new characters and weapons but a brand new game it is not…

I’ve heard many people bitch and moan about the difficulty level of the game and all I have to say is that they are playing the game wrong… Now before you think I am getting a little cocky, what I mean is you have to remember that:

“You are not the Master Chief!!!”

The moment you get that into your head, you will tend to notice that you will end up dying less… Why??? Because the Master Chief can just walk into a room and kill everyone with his bare hands, the ODST however, has no shields, has to take cover and plan carefully to dispatch the enemy… Then and truly then will you appreciate the game and play it the way it was meant to be played…

Internet MATI 2!!!

2009-09-22T21:04:00.001+08:00

After facing an intermittent connection for a few hours, I called my ISP and said “INTERNET MATI”…

10 secs later, this happened…

Not quite what it should be but its a big leap forward… Hopefully they can complete the repairs by next week as promised…

Ubuntu in Windows 7…

2009-09-20T21:26:00.001+08:00

My quest for more PPD and better folding performance has led towards an Ubuntu folding client…

Therefore, I needed Ubuntu on my desktop… Here are some screencaps from my journey…

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Trailer…

2009-09-16T23:47:00.001+08:00

This is so wrong… But at least they found an interesting use for the Sixaxis :P…

Its Fantastic!!!

2009-09-14T00:19:00.001+08:00

Battlefield Heroes is just FANTASTIC!!! All the games so far have been silky smooth and gameplay has been nothing short of FRANTIC!!! Easily one of the better online games this year…

Issues Resolved…

2009-09-11T23:05:00.001+08:00

Time to make up for lost time…

Humanity Has To Take A Back Seat…

2009-09-11T00:20:00.001+08:00

Some technical problems are stopping me from folding properly (the SMP client worked fine in Vista but is giving me some problems in Windows 7) and I have to resort to a GPU client… Hopefully I can find a solution to the technical issues fast…

Another Addiction In The Making???

2009-09-10T01:20:00.001+08:00

Free to play games have progressed light years and as days pass, their proposition becomes a more attractive one… Take my latest time waster for instance…

Battlefield Heroes:

Is free to play
Looks great
Plays great
Has a decent matchmaking system
Has multiple classes
Has controllable vehicles
Has multiple game types

Here are some screen caps to show you how slick the interface is…

*Note as I was having some trouble taking screen caps of actual gameplay, here is a video showcasing some gameplay from youtube…

Looks great doesn’t it??? Now if you excuse me, I’m going to get a couple more games in…

Nothingness…

2009-09-07T23:47:00.001+08:00

Switched over to Windows 7 x64 and noticed that your Logitech G15 lcd panel and profile keys no longer work??? Frustrated that you can’t use the Vista x64 drivers even in compatibility mode???

Well fret no more as you can use the solution found here!!!
