Addicted....

Some of you might not believe how a person can be addicted to a video game. But its true. Its fucking insane. I have to say this "Metal Gear Solid 3" is one piece of killer software. Hideo Kojima is a genius. No wonder some people worship the ground he walks on - he's probably like a god to them.

Then again, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was THE reason I bought my Playstation 2 in the first place. Now's there's another game to add to my collection of games. It's my new favourite in the series, which I'm ranking as MGS3, followed by MGS1 and finally MGS2 (which was a letdown cause of more movie cutscenes and less gameplay)

The genius himself, Hideo Kojima

What the hell is Metal Gear? This masterpiece is a video-game/movie hybrid. Beautiful graphics, excellent music themes. It's like a playable movie, in simpler terms. This game is an achievement, unlike other games - not just a run and shoot game. The game is defined as a "tactical espionage game". It's got hi-tech gear, lots of guns which equals action. You've got to think to complete the mission-objectives. You have to hide from the enemy, use force only if necessary (or if you're feeling sadistic). It's realistic (to a certain degree). Hideo Kojima once said he wanted to be a film director. I can see where the inspiration comes from now.

It excerises more than the finger muscles, the brain gets a work out too :D And then, there are the Japanese chick posters and the sexy female characters to ogle at as well. That's always a bonus.

I'm turning into some kind of nerd/geek now. Basically, this game is taking up alot of my free time which I don't use for sleep now. I'm just waiting for the original to reach the shop. But don't take my word for it read more about Metal Gear Solid 3 - here .

Can't get enough of Metal Gear Solid? How about clicking here ? And while you're at it, check out the official Metal Gear Solid 3 website.

Can someone buy me this limited edition figure? It's only RM 600 or so I heard. Only 5ooo pieces made.

Come to think of it, I haven't updated my wishlist for a very, very long time. So many things, so little money. The XBOX was acting up, giving problems. It wasn't loading some discs. And now the PS2 is acting up! It took me one-bloody hour to load MGS3 last night. I guess I won't be having problems like that if I have the original copy.

I was feeling nostalgic, I bought a copy of the Sega Megadrive Emulator. I was ecstatic when I saw Streets Of Rage @ Bare Knuckles (for the Japanese market) on the cover. This game had excellent music. One of my favourite games back in the early 90s.

This disc has got hundreds of SEGA games, the kind of video games I used to play in the arcades on on my Sega Megadrive when I was much younger. The memories. Maybe one day, I'll do a blog on my obsession with video games. Any requests?

Today, Y told me that she's gone for an interview and she might be resigning soon. Another one leaving. She's probably going to read this, so I'll remind her that "You owe me a big makan! TGIF's or American Chilli's!". All the best to her of course.

AMO S told me the night before to take the day off yesterday cause I had to work this coming Saturday, reason being "alot of people have resigned and there's not enough people to cover the shift". And today, its Thanksgiving in the USA so more free time for me.

I think its time to carry on with my "Snake Eater" mission. Over and out.....
