Prince of Persia: Sands of Time review...

Yet, another game based movie... As expected another game based movie should be disappointing right? Failure after failure after failure... Games are just not meant to be movies... Though we've seen how Timothy Olyphant had portrayed Agent 47 in Hitman and Mark Walhberg who potrayed the title character Max Payne... These were not much of a disappointment but turned out to be okay... We have seen how Uwe Boll transformed awesome games into disasters... such as Far Cry, Postal and Bloodrayne... From Super Mario Brothers till Doom, none of the game titles ever succeed in capturing my eye except for this beautifully done film... Amazing CG for such a smashing title... This film wasn't supposed to be another one of those overly done shows like Doom...

Well, as said, PoP wasn't my first choice of film to watch, I've always doubted that game based movies have been failures all these time save for Hitman and Max Payne. However, these 2 game based movies have moved away from the usual styles depicted in the game itself... PoP on the other hand keep most of the elements found in the game itself yet manage to stun the audience with amazing CG and action. The charming Brokeback Mountaineer Jake Gyllenhaal has played the role of the Prince known as Dastan well. With Ben Kingsley playing the evil uncle Nizam, what could possibly go wrong?

As far as for the storyline, it is simplistic but done well, however there were spaces for more improvements. CG was stunning, action scenes were intense and cool. Ratings: Story 6/10 CG 8/10 Action 7/10 Overall 7/10.

Yet another worry...

For days, my girlfriend has been sleeping over at my place...
It's been nearly a week, she's been staying here... not going back...
And recently, I've been studying with her for quite a lot...
However, the worst thing that I've ever heard came from her aunt yesterday afternoon...
I pity her for what she's been going through...
Some might agree that her family's right to pressure her to study...
But for me, I don't see that it's wrong nor right...
As I'm writing this post, she's sleeping on my bed... letting her resting was what I did...
The moment she wakes up, I'm supposed to teach her some Japanese for an assignment later...
An interview it seems...
She has been unable to grasp it no matter how hard she tries...
What her aunt said to her was that she's been sleeping to much...
From what I see, that's not true...
She's been too stressed... and she spent most of her time awake... studying...
She cried, the moment she ended the call...
I realized, it wasn't a good thing and came over to comfort her...
Somehow, pressure on this girl seems to break her down to her knees... all teary eyed...
But, what I can do now, is to not make her give up and make her fight to the very end even though it might seem that she might not get through... She still have the chance to gain that 1:100000000000 chance of getting through her degree with a good CGPA... the only thing I can do now with my own hands and brains is to help her out in her studies and support her no matter what... despite that, I will not give up on mine either... がんばってね、ニコーちゃん。

What's wrong with this idiot?

Recently, I've been such an idiot... a fool!
I've never been able to understand my girlfriend...
Wonder what is she thinking?
I don't wanna end things...
But I don't want us to continuously arguing...
We can even argue for the silliest stuff...
All I think of is for a better tomorrow... and hope that things don't go worse... but it does...
Sigh, I just want things to be the way it used to be...

Slacking off...

Gosh, i've been going through a tough first week... with waking up late... maybe due to excessive mapling... yes, i've came back playing maple again... all because of the new class called Aran...
anyway, my room's been a mess since the 2nd day i'm back... need to clean up... that's in my list... my basil leaves are spoilt... dang... moisture in my room killed it... hair dropping in my room due to my loss of hair(Hope i don't get bald soon)... well, basically that's why my room's in a mess... anyway, gotta clean up soon... maybe tonight or tomorrow
i don't know... so, that's all for it... and woops, my chair's broken... so my monitor, keyboard and mouse is stuck on the ground... seems so weird when my speakers' up on the table... and a total lazy weekend for me this week... gosh... it's going to be the 2nd week soon... oh well, 2nd week's where i start getting serious in my work... good luck, schmuck....

Chaos

Chaos. The world is indeed in a state of chaos. A world with no laws, no boundaries. That is chaos. With the excuse of freedom of expression, worse things keep popping up every year. From extreme pornography to violence. The numbers just won't stop. The world is coming to an end. Chaos will rule the world. Or so it seems that we have already lost all hope. But, hope is always there. Order can be restored. The idea of a world without boundaries, the freedom of expression. These are devils in disguise. What the world really need now is a limit of the freedom of expression. We must start to come back to our senses... too much freedom is always bad... we can do whatever we want... we can kill, we can rape, we can torch someone's house... anything...

To me, that is chaos... the freedom of expression without limit... that's what's happening around the world. Too much freedom... Freedom with a limit. That's all the world needs... a limit...

Down with eroge and hentai games!!!

A world without boundaries... No laws, no regulations... This seems an ideal world to some...
However, when you come back and have a look at it... It's a chaotic world... Everyone is not at peace... That's why, we have laws to maintain order...

However, in this case, chaos is widespread... Freedom of expression. That is their excuse...
Freedom of expression does not mean that you are allowed to express whatever you want without and boundaries... We are at a stage where freedom of expression removes the boundaries of the laws... Nations rise and nations fall... That's how dangerous this thing is... Iran, Iraq, China... These are the nations being threatened by the freedom of expression... Yes, we can have the freedom to express all our feelings... However, as usual... too much is not good... That's when chaos happens...

Another clear example of too much of freedom of expression would be in games. Nowadays, games get more and more violent. Some might have too much sexual content. Take for example, adult based games such as eroge which are pornographic games. Despite the extent of their pornographic content, they still go on sale... However, the time when you have to draw the line of tolerance comes. A particular game, called Rapelay (I know, I've mentioned this game in my previous post. However, it's controversial...and suit this post) came to stores. A game which promotes sexual violence. Think again, why do we allow this to happen? The game itself was banned in the United States for too much violent content. A non-governmental organization called Equality Now has raised complaints against to the Japanese government regarding such product. However, due to this, fans of eroge were outraged. But come to think of it... Does anyone here think that women don't have rights?

Well, after reading this you might find out why. People have adopted their virtual world into the real world. The extreme pornographic theme found in eroges are beyond anyway one can mention. This was actually a bad influence in the society today. However, with more of these people supporting the freedom of expression, the world will fall into chaos. That's why censorship was introduced to prevent more of these from happening. However, come to think of it, a large number of people are against bans on extreme pornography in the form of eroge and hentai... Well, this is how the world will fall into chaos... God bless us all...

Rational?

The Controversial Game: RapeLay involves, stalking and raping women...

Okay, sorry for not posting for the past couple months... and Yeah, i'm finally back...
Anyway, of all the reasons, I'm searching for something to blog about, I've been through one of the freakiest nonsense website... not naming it...
Anyway, I came across an article which is talking about violence against women... everyone worldwide knows that this is a serious issue itself... Of course, I myself am against violence against women too... However, when we come back to have a look at it... Some fans of pornographic games especially those from Japan were not against it... Take for example, the controversial game RapeLay. When a group tried to ban all games involving sexual violence, they were badly attacked by the fans of such games...

Then, I ask this question to everyone... Would it be better that it should be banned? Or not? I say... BAN! why one earth would anyone agree to sexual violence isn't that true? Well, one things for sure... Urging to Otakus worldwide... "GET A LIFE!" I mean, come on... Indulging yourselves to the extent that you forget everything around you? I almost did... And someone saved me from it... thank goodness... Anyway, the question is... If you're into such games which promotes sexual violence... or any form of violence at all... Let's say Grand Theft Auto...Why was GTA criticized badly yet very few defended it? And why on earth are these people defending such games?

Recap: this idea... of making more pornographic games... is it rational? I mean, the more people get exposed to it, the more they turn perverse... isn't pornography enough already? Why are we still going to the next step? Honestly speaking... I do think most pornographic game should be banned as well...
