Time as i see it....

I probably wonder everyday, because of being constantly forced to think inside a box, man has been trying to imitate and improvise things that already exist in nature.
some one has already found the most of it. It is just waiting to be explored and exploited against God`s will( again some human invention to invoke belief and trust in faith of positive thinking by the greatest minds in the world )
Just imagine what would have been the thought of the first human being to walk on this planet. obviously, food, water and shelter. if not something must have provoked him and must have set him in motion(climate, nature, wildlife).
He was not carrying anything at all as belonging rather he would have had developed the habit only later realizing that one can`t get anything and everything in one place.
A hunter would need a Spear to be carried at all times.
A Builder or a bully in the group of primitive man would carry a club hand-crafted by himself, at all times, for the reason of having the ability to cast fear among his people and also to be quite useful when it comes to combat.
So by the time he would be much old and shabby he would have made a good rapport with his community that he would be called as the wise man and soon a small king.
His sons and sons of sons would have his genetic characteristics and they would also be like him eventually.
As time flies by, need for some ultimate power arises, the so called priests and visionaries in the group think out differently and favour the masses by controlling the king.
The king wanting to please his people make images of the Gods out of their imagination or the things that they fear the most and like. Resulting in the so called cataclysmic effect of finding true power, the king sorts out the advice and wages war on a different clan with different God to see who is strong. Ultimately One with a smarter brain and bigger number wins and the Winner gets to take them all and force the loser in following their God and principle.

Like this and Like that, the story goes on and till the point comes to mind why can`t everything be the same. That is when Religion starts to come out in to light by shear Knowledge of combined thinking of Men and Women in a priesthood(or whatever they call it as so, in various parts of the world)

As man travels and wanders in search of new knowledge and wisdom, he seeks to get himself updated with technology. Bows and arrows would have been an invention of a particular clan or gang long,long ago. It would have been carried away reinvented, improvised, implemented and so on. Finally becoming what it is today Missiles and other things.
That has been the intriguing question in my mind always, what would have happened if we never think different. we would have never had Scientist and brilliant minds. I, would have never had the opportunity to know things that i want in life to be cherished , learnt and mastered and you would be like so too..

The final words in this post is there is alwasy a lot to explore and countless things to know... ONLY THE TIME WILL ANSWER EVERYTHING

A few good games.....in the last few months

I have been playing a lot of third person action adventure these past few months...
to first start with i just loved the Batman arkham asylum. nicely done game with all of the surprise elements and not to mention the cool and agile moves of my favourite hero along with some splendid and villainous AI of the characters in the game.. the gun slinging... reverse take downs and the sneaking investigation of the JOKERS grand plan are all awesome...
Then i played The Saboteur an awesome game that spell bounds any one with the varied gameplay sequence and some Bombs and blast that you thoroughly enjoy to kill or be killed in a Nazi occupied France.. the game has a very poor parkour agility as you have to do everything with a two button input( even the simple climb over a box is tough with some dexterity to your fingers) but one could enjoy the through spoils of the game graphic scenes!!! yes, you know what i mean... forget the hot-coffee mod and others.. you can visit a secret location in the pub where you can pay money to watch strippers to DO their stuff... dance... groove.. and all.... the rest is awesome you get to explore France(city of Paris .. not to mention the iconic Eiffel tower, where the climax takes place). A must play if you are an adventurer,explorer and a gunslinger( or maybe a bazooka)
then, i played Star wars- the force unleashed, good game with lots of puzzles and some action but the AI is too stupid( i died very few times from the enemies fire than from the gripping puzzles that goes to greater lengths to jump and do stuff in time. The game is OK for casual playing but when you are a Star wars fan to see and hear lot of (zoing and boing) from your light saber then i definitely say you would like this game very much along with some jedi powers at your disposal like manoeuvre things and the rest...

Finally, my favourite, the Assassin`s creed 2.... no words to say the experience.. wonderful.. gruesome kills.. superb AI.. increased gameplay... non repeatable sequences and a awe struck ending( i never expected that they would tie the incidents to say a story of the 2012 apocalypse in a 14th century Rome) seriously, i am waiting for the next game to be out( which they say would take a year in dec. 2011 maybe...) but they are releasing a separate online franchise called The Brotherhood, with Ezio as the head of them all.... in coming November..

To be honest....

I have done something worthwhile lately ... meeting new people ,finding time to enjoy, better yet. i get to talk with lot more in person than before all because of one good book that i read recently. recommended by my friend. its about law of attraction by michael J. Losier.
to be precise.. it tells you about how to be convincingly good at something by just having the thought and likes of something better than spending time on something you dislike at most conditions.
the power of positive thinking to be exact. i then had the good feel to control every action coming in my way and thought in a better way.. if you like it.. try it....its my new motto.

Almost 6 months...

well people would probably think that..what the hell.. some low living piece of crap is making posts just to make money.. nah.. i ain`t that kind of person i am just a normal guy who wants to make his presence online while i am most of the time a normal guy in real life. i love the internet just because of the reason(maybe social networking sites) to see new people everyday and say hello to them. just imagine, would you love to be in a lonely room and see the same person again and again.. or have an opportunity to know about everyone you see around and have that person acquainted to you so much that by time it would be impossible for the persn to see you just as friend but a real intimate person..

and again why am i writing after such a long time i feel that it is high time i make my presence felt to the keyboard i use as well as the internet diary(blog) to know me better...
hope i do it very often and see that i am much known to the world in this life time...

Bionic Commando... Less time and Play....

At first i thought, seeing the logo of Capcom i was sure that this game, knowing that it has got and given its developers lots of acclaim for its best 3rd person action such as Devil may cry and such with its superb graphics and game play exploration, was very much disappointed. I will tell you why in little less than in 100 words from now...

Story:
the story is like this, the hero is Nathan Spencer, he is the last among the special operative force for the army called the bionic commandos... but sadly they are striped down from their position and are executed due to their wrong doing or whatsoever... he is about to be executed when something really bad happens in astenteon city and he is called in to the army again as the last hope to find or explore the devastated city(by nuclear weapon) for the source of the cause as well as the motive behind it... so here you are with a completely empty city(with some bad guys, of course!!!) to explore and help the military take back the city from the terrorist threat....(here too... stop pulling my legs!) in return to giving him, our hero`s, life back along with his so called missing wife.. who would say no to that...


Graphics:
the game design and its location is superb you would have a number of picture perfect areas like the waterfalls in the underground canyon, a residential park and the city sky scrapers and the lush green forest in the middle of a research facility... but even then there are somethings to taken care of like the weapons to look for and enemy robots in the vicinity...


Game play:
it is so simple like you are given a situation either to find something or deactivate something and nothing else... you are encountered with small groups of soldiers and robots to take down either by close contact with your bionic arm(that i mostly prefer like grapple, smash and throw) or the silly mechanics of shooting with your three switchable weapons a grenade type, a heavy weapon, a light weapon...
The exploration of an area is very limited but the game shows you with a false notion like you can climb any building but sadly you are not allowed so cause the radiation will kill you!!!!!
the boss battles are so simple.... (bleh!!! only took me about minutes or so... for me)

Combat system:
as said the three types of weapons are delivered to you from the military constantly... so you can switch weapons from the crates that are delivered....
mine is the tarantula, its the best and the sniper rifle is good too...

The game has got all the good things you need
1.Nice graphics
2.An okay Hero(if i might say, not that good)!!!
3.A good space to explore..in an so said open environment... (Eww!!! radiation)


the bad things however are
1.non adjustable graphic settings...well it still ran smooth but i prefer to say smooth and not great since i have to exit it once or twice seeing that it is heating my board like a hot cake in the oven...
2.Very rigid mode of transportation like swinging, and running.... i thought it would be more like Spider-man but it was not...
3. the area to explore was limited owing to the stupid radiation that gave us only a narrow way to travel

what i loved in this game was the menu navigation... with the bionic arm to navigate and select the options... cool....
also the city with its splendid lighting and areas where it was really great to have a walk through... and the Alienware systems being the official sponsor to game development...i am a huge fan of Alienware systems and seeing that in the banner makes me god damn sure that the graphics was ought to be good and wow!!! it was... (well occasionally!!!)

But hey people this game too has sadly got the same tag-line
"your Best friend is your worst enemy"
What a waste in story board!!!!

In making a difference.... Your Mind(Machine)

what is there to do on finding yourself in a dead end???

Ask yourself the question again and your mind comes up with an answer as quick as that. Ever wondered how is that possible???

I think i need to do a little bit of explaining... i don`t mean to say that you have to put yourself in the situation.. just think for a second every time you wonder what the answer could be you are given a choice or an answer to a problem you are in currently with.

Take for example this boring Blog you are reading now....

even before you know that it contains craps written by a crazy idiot, you know that's what it contains...

sometimes you would say that "i just knew the correct answer to the question"... you say its intuition, while others say its beginner`s luck.

It is the wondrous power of the Brain that we all know very little.... who knows that maybe there are large amounts of unread data in our brain just stacked up to be read sometime.... ever wondered this fact that even the greatest geniuses in the world like Albert Einstein and others used only about 4% of their brain...

I am just giving myself an odd theory that every thing we know now would have been known earlier or it would be recollected in the future somehow.

Damnation... Its OKay to play....

The game is really good in some sense and very poorly made in the sense of its very bizarre AI, where you need some time for them to react rather than the player(which is you to react..)

the game is quite simple in design. powered by the unreal 3 engine it has got all the required modes of play. It is simply a 3rd person action adventure, where you need to explore the given location to find a way up, or out so that you are either chased around or chased by someone behind you(they don`t always stick around your back..)

the story is about gaining the fortification of prescott, a ruthless leader of the Damnation era... the game has a feel of wild west and all the red indians running around with a mindless drug used to make them super soldiers. the hero is Hamilton Rourke, an outlaw as i told you in the civil war times who has the mission to take out the P.S.I from its strong hold in the US at these dangerous times. what makes the game itself boring is that the shooting and action is like playing ducks on a NES system... the enemies don`t always dodge and fight, they take the fire to them(literally speaking..)



Another interesting thing about the game is its serene locations and fast-paced bikes... i am a huge fan of Star-wars POD racing and when i first drove the bikes in this game i was taken aback,you can ride the bike almost in 360 degree in vertical as long as there is a surface to hang on to.

the weapons are innovative but the sounds are all the same... it looks like a lot of the games nowadays borrow their weapons from Doom universe...

the puzzles are not that tough to solve, they are quite like pulling levers and aligning clock works... but the major puzzle in the game is the navigation itself.. sometimes you are helped with a short video or a panned camera to tell you where to go.... and in other cases you are always on your own... the only way of assuring that you are on the right track is by the games auto save option which would give you a "PHEW... that was close" in your mind...

the game`s downside is its character build, it is some times intriguing to ask yourself is this possible, i meant the AI as well as their voice responses(robotic... Ahem!!),anyway the motion of the game is like stick figures and are mostly made to look like a game developed by puppets... wolverine was also developed from unreal 3 engine but still the characters do look like humans...

the worst thing about the game is its poor refresh rate and i constantly got pain in my eyes seeing the cut-scenes in frame rates like less than 30 FPS.... and whenever i pan the camera to see a new location the screen would look look like it has gone half.... loading one half in its GPU processor and making a refresh frame then... it is so annoying when i get to reload some time after getting hit by a rocket or a gun.
I should say i completed the game in 11 days roughly about 3 to 5 hours a day... and to be honest the most time of it was spent on exploring rather than shooting down enemies.... and the game has also got co-operative mode where you can play with your friends online or through LAN....
