Twisted Mind - Yume Nikki

One reasons of there are some end to end spectrum topics I talk about or what most people would call it rant about is what I keep telling myself I got some twisted mind. So in having a twisted mind I read / play twisted stuff. Currently I have 3 in mind I want to review. 2 of it are mangas one of it is a doujinshi freeware video game. 2 the mangas are Franken Frank and Mirai Nikki. the doujinshi game (doujinshi usually refers to self-published or indie for short for all Japanese indie products). Note that there will be spoilers in this as it is difficult to talk about the game without spoiling it.

A good look at Flash memory cards

I was talking to my colleague regarding an article that relates why Kingston is able to sell their flash memory card cheaper despite not being a first party flash memory card manufacturer themselves.

This is a good read and you need to be a bit nerdy to understand some of the terms. Generally an article that filled with very useful information.

The internet is brought to you by the letter...............


Previously I posted a link in facebook regarding the internet is watching you fail. I thought I should do some mini write ups on our favorite topic the internet and its quirky ways. Again I'm quite sure this isn't the first place to do it. I would break down what's the latest in the English speaking world and the Japanese speaking world. Also I would do the stuff for Singapore as well.

Annoying fact

I can writes posts to Blogspot through my Nexus 1 with a blogging app but I cannot amend the entries I did using the online editor in blogger with my Nexus 1 browser. So I end up stuck with the stuff I wrote on my phone and I have to transfer it through my Gmail then copy and paste it from there. If you wonder why I don't draft my entries on the blogging app in Nexus 1. The app doesn't sync the drafts that is on the Nexus 1 to the ones already created on the server and vice verse.

ARGH! I EXPECTED BETTER!

Here's why I can never join google.


I've been fascinated with Google and their products. Well I do hope one day I can join them though after reading this article here I doubt I can.

http://www.businessinsider.com/15-google-interview-questions-that-will-make-you-feel-stupid-2009-11

Among there are some of the simpler questions like "Why are manholes covers round?" I couldn't even answer.

With this questions it is no wonder Google always comes out with very interesting products. I guess for me the that would be one of the goals. To be able to join Google maybe someday.

I'm not canned dogs

For people wondering, I'm not aiming to be like canned dogs. You know Zepy's blog. He covers a good range of topics related to anime and general Japan only games. Also I will never be able to be like canned dogs because I don't live in Japan.

I would want to offer how video games appeared when I started from my childhood all the way to adulthood. Currently in the progress of researching history of Singapore's gaming culture. That would take me sometime to write. I would like here to appeal to folks who have been playing games like me since a long time living in Singapore. I would say more than 15 years of playing Video games to email, IM, twitter, facebook etc I like to ask some questions.

And of course Singapore's gaming culture would be rather interesting to talk about. Since we did have a big of dark spot when we started like most Asian countries. Until then I be moving my office in 2 weeks time and I be burning my weekends from 17 April all the way till mid May at least.

Updates will be sparse during those periods. Worry not I will update as much as I can.

And of course here is Zepy's page

I want iphone/itouch/ipad to fail at games


It is no secret that I hate iPhone / iTouch / iPad games. If anyone wondered, yes I do have a iTouch myself. I kinda of freaking hate the stupid device. Initially it was ok using it, as I used it the more I hate the device.

Gamecrush.com


I've been meaning to write something about gamecrush.com but the website is currently down. On the website the reason stated is as follows

The GameCrush Public Beta is temporarily unavailable due to the incredible user response. We are adding new servers to provide players with the best PlayDate experience possible. Games with GameCrush PlayDates start at $6.60 for ten minutes.
For folks who have not been following. Gamecrush is offering a service for you to pay girls to play games with you online. I barely got the glimpse of the page before it went down. Their rates for hiring a girl to play with you is based according to how much you would pay a girl in a bar to drink with you.

Until the website goes up again, currently unable to make any progress of research on the service.

P.S. I am not sure if the service is available international or if anyone would actually pay for this service. I do know that video game geeks are usually a sad bunch and would ogle to good looking female counterparts.

Annual most important internet day

Today is the most important internet day of the year. Well in fact every year. Failing to comprehend this fact will lead to one or more of the following (not in any order) :-

- Severe Anal evacuation
- loss of pride
- people around giggling and pointing at you
- looking at the ground at a sense of loss
- unable to control the sense of deja vu coming every waking moment of the day
- reminds you of High school / Polytechnic / Junior college days
- uncontrollable itches

Enjoy the rest of the day and godspeed for those who can't
