New Notebook

 Some posts back there i wrote about how my old laptop fucked me up(May that ingrateful piece of machinery rot in its watery grave, amen.). Then a couple week later i get me a new notebook, a neat little black beauty called Asus-A42F series.



 I got it for RM1550, though the greedy sumbitch first put a sticker of RM1899 on it. He then proceed to tell me i can have it for RM1700, and when i made a disinterested face he asked me what my budget is. I said 1.5k, tops, because i'm not looking for a powerful gaming laptop or something. In fact, i explicitly want a notebook because of its lower specs, so that i cant be suckered back into my old video games addiction. And then the fatfuck said okay, Rm 1550, he said( he really need to one-up my price, even by a damn 50 ringgit). I said fine, paid him in cash, stop by the KFC on the way back for a dinner plate, and then secretly stop by the local pirate cd shop- and proceed to buy Darksiders and Kane and Lynch 2 game cds.

It is more of a hope against hope actually. I need to know, for real, if the notebook cant play the new generation games. My old one cant even open Warhammer 40k:Dawn of war 2. I mean, this new one dont even have a graphic card, just a measly Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD  in it. Well i be damned, it works!..though not on the max setting, just barely above minimum specs needed. So i hope that would explained the lack of posts on the last few months, i was too busy abusing my new toy, racking up headshots and ramping up my electric bill yo!


List of games i played(in no chronological order)
 
1.Darksiders- about 90% in it and then quit, became too repetitive


 
2.Kane and Lynch 2:Dog Days- finished, sweet story, decent gameplay, wtf ending-no replay value


 
3.King's Bounty The Legend- 5%(?) in it and left, not my taste



 
4.Warhammer 40k-Dawn of War 2/Chaos Rising- 3rd playthrough, busted my friend's desktop once playing this



 
5.Warhammer 40k-Dawn of War 2:Retribution- Cool new gameplay, lack wargears, main story for all race is fucking same, Ork race is fucking kewl though




6.Fallout 3(GOTY)- finished aside a couple DLCs, awesome story/gameplay, wtf-anticlimacs ending



 
7.Overlord 2- 10%(?) and then forgot about it.



 
8.Dragon Age 2- 3rd playthrough, awesome story/gameplay, recycled maps, feel kinda short, tried nude mods(..meh)




9.Devil May Cry 4- 2 last chapter left, not in fucking mood to continue





10.Men of War:Assault Squad- The most fucking challenging RTS ever played, I had my ass kicked 3 times on 1st mission, on normal fucking level. Enjoyed it though, and super recommended. Still playing(Mission 2).



 
11.Borderlands(GOTY)- awesome stuff, 2nd playthrough, still playing.


Games cant play:Assassin Creed 2, The Witcher
Waiting for unreleased titles; the rumored 3rd person Warhammer:'UltraMarine', and Fable 2..and Dungeon Siege 3.
That being said, curse you Asus for making some good quality notebook for cheap ass price. Now, whos gonna pay all that bills?

My mom.

And boy is she pissed.

Oil City Confidential



"The story of Dr Feelgood, four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70s, sandpapered the face of rock'n'roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten's anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and America beckoned with open arms. Contributions from members of The Clash, Blondie and The Sex Pistols join Dr Feelgood with collaborators Jools Holland and Alison Moyet to tell the story of Canvey, '70s England and the greatest local band in the world."-IMDB






Never heard of Dr Feelgood? Shame on you, mate. Why, this is the band that had a hit-n-run with Mother Nature, and she bore him Punk Rock. This is the third entry of director Julian Temple's Brit-band documentary, a prequel, of his 2000's The Filth and Fury(Sex Pistols) and 2007's Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten. Come, i even throw in the OST for this.

LAZYgunsBRISKY

There will be no shortage of Japanese bands with wtfisthisidonteven..-inducing name, believe me. It kinda fit their style actually, if you think about it. They took their influences from the very best sources the West can offer, dismember it without mercy, then mix this one's torso with that limbs and stuff. So it is no surprise if a band start to call themselves Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, or  54 Nude Honeys, or The Rodeo Carburettor, or like star of this post LAZYgunsBRISKY.



They are a 4-pieces, all girl Tokyo band that played some sorta punky, fun garage rock. I found them when i read that Benzie produced their second mini album 26times. For better info of them you can check out this interview.


They got some legit, official PV, but i kinda like this song better

This is a public service announcement...WITH GUITAR!!

Alright, here's a question; who said that?

This post is, in fact, an announcement of some kind. After this, i'm gonna write at least 3 posts a week. There, i said it.

Before, i just write according to my whim and moods. No, fuck that; my whole life had been according to my whim and moods. If i dont feel like talking, i can go on for a week with only super-basic human interaction. If i dont feel like it, i dont go to my lectures. My self-discipline bow down only to my procrastination. And my procrastination is a monster in its own league.
For instance, lets look at my post count. We are half way down the year 2011, and i just post 10 stuff. For 2010, its 38 posts and 2009, 29. And that can be honestly translated to how scary my procrastination is in real life.

So this is actually my little attempt at disciplining my self-discipline, and taming my procrastination. Having published this, i cant back down,  can i? And posting here can also help me brush up what little english i have. So you can expect music, more music, a couple of rants here and there, some stuff i find interesting, and then even moar fucking music!




The words for the title is actually from The Clash's intro on 'Know Your Right'. I just immediately think of it when i thought for the title. You've got your announcement, now time for your guitar!

ps; this count as post no. one

Cold Finger Girl single


 Pontiacs next single-ads from sexystones record

The song 'Cold Finger Girl' is actually written by Benzie for actress/model Chiaki Kuriyama's first album. You probably had seen her in the gory Battle Royale or Quentin Taratino's ultra stylish Kill Bill part one. 




I forgot where i read this, but she said in an interviewed that she was really thrilled to be working with Benzie, as she was a fan since she is little. She said that he is more like 'a character from a manga', you know..larger than life, too good to be true..you get the picture.
