Vote for Optimus!

It's election season now in UTP (university where I currently studying). It's the election for general constituency in MPPUTP (Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar UTP / UTP Student Representative Council). The candidates are now busy with their campaigns.

Just to have some fun, I create my own candidate (but not eligible fir the election), Optimus Prime.
Hahaha. Checkout Optimus's campaign poster below that I created especially for him! Guys, this is not a real deal, so don't take it seriously. It's just for fun... :-)

Green Upgrade

I upgraded my PC again! It's a green upgrade!



This time, I upgrade a new hard disk drive. It is a brand new Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB (just been released last month). Yup, it has massive 1 Terabyte storage capacity. So, I can store a lot of things in it, especially space-consuming games, movies, TV series, anime and others.

This drive is pretty fast and very efficient. Although its rotation speed is only 5400RPM, but it is able to catch up with many other 7200RPM drives; thanks to its new 3-platter technology and huge 32MB cache. It consumes less power, produce less heat and noise than any other conventional drives which makes it eco-friendly, that's why it is labeled 'Green'. It uses speedy SATA 3Gb/s interface.

It also wins the X-Bit Labs Editor's Choice - The Best Home Theater PC Hard Drive.




Go Green!!! Save Mother Earth!

It's Upgrade Time!

I've just upgraded my PC recently. Now, my PC performs better than ever!

Here is the specifications:

~ Intel Pentium D 945 Presler (Dual-Core, 2 x 3.4GHz, 2 x 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB).
~ 1 x Asus ENGTS250 Dark Knight (740MHz core clock, 2000MHz 1GB DDR3, CUDA, PCIex16).
~ 1 x Corsair CGM2X2G800 DDR2-800 Gaming Memory (2GB DDR2 RAM, 5-5-5-18 latency).
~ Asus P5KPL-AM Motherboard (Intel Bearlake G31 chipset).
~ 1 x Western Digital 320GB SATA.
~ 1 x Seagate 120GB SATA.
~ 1 x Samsung DVD+/-RW optical drive.
~ BenQ G900W 19" LCD (1440x900 native, 2000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time).
~ 500W Enermax Tomahawk PSU (True Power).
~ Thermaltake Soprano RS101 Mid-tower Casing.
~ 3 x 120mm Cooling Fans.




                          ASUS ENGTS250 Dark Knight
                        This baby has decent gaming performance!


                        Currently, I'm very pleased with my system performance. Gaming performance is really great; thanks to the ENGTS250 Dark Knight that I bought for RM530. I'm able to play Crysis Warhead at playable rate with the settings: (Enthusiast setting, 16xAnti-aliasing, 1440x900 resolution). Far Cry 2 is also the same with all settings maxed out. Wow, I almost don't believe it at first. I'm really satisfied with my PC now. The only letdown here is the old Pentium D CPU, which is not up to par even with Core 2 Duo CPUs (but still it performs great, thanks to its high clock speed and quite large L2 cache and also CUDA in the GTS 250 which reduces CPU load in physics calculations).



                        My Gaming Rig!


                        Possible future upgrades:
                        1. Intel Core 2 Extreme
                        2. Another 2GB similar RAM (for dual-channel performance)
                        3. Nvidia GeForce 300 series
                        4. Higher wattage PSU

                          :-)

                          Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

                          Good news for Gundam fans!
                          New Gundam anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn will be out this Spring 2010. Originally, as a light novel series by popular Japanese author Harutoshi Fukui, this new anime takes place in Gundam's Universal Century timeline.

                          Need for Speed SHIFT

                          The 15th installment of the long-running Need for Speed franchise, Need for Speed: SHIFT has been release a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, I just got my hands on that game.

                          This game is similar to Need for Speed ProStreet as you will be driving your favorite cars on racing tracks around the world in the game. However, what makes the game more interesting is its 'simulation driving style', as the game perspective will be in-car. That's right, you can see your hands handling the steering wheel and shifting gear and of course featuring unique dashboard for each cars. But still, you can switch the in-car perspective to third person view outside of the car.


                          Graphics-wise, the in-game graphics is pretty cool. The car geometry and  world textures are very detailed. The lighting is also great, bringing the game to life. The car physics can be praised particularly when the car hits or crashes. Another cool feature is the motion blur, notably when you car crashes and driving at high speed. The car handling, which is different between driving levels is quite good too.

                          Generally, the game got many positive reviews; GameTrailers: 9.1/10, IGN: 9/10, X-Play: 5/5, Metacritic: 83%.
                          For me, I give SHIFT 9/10.

                          Need for Speed SHIFT is available on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and also PSP, iPhone & mobile phones.

                          Transformers 3: July 2011!

                          We have a great story on Tranformers 3! The next Transformers movie has been officially dated, which is July 1st, 2011. It was confirmed by the director himself, Michael Bay (who directed both Transformers and Transformers Revenge of The Fallen) through his website.

                          Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

                          P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

                          Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.

                          Michael

                          So, the great franchise will be continued. Let's hope that the third film will be much much better. :-)
                          Transformers rock the world!!!

                          Prologue


                          With the AllSpark gone, we cannot return life to our planet.
                          And fate has yielded its reward, a new world to call home.
                          We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight,
                          but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting.
                          I have witnessed their capacity for courage.
                          And though we are worlds apart, like us, there’s more to them than meets the eye.
                          I am Optimus Prime
                          and I send this message to any surviving Autobot taking refuge among the stars.
                          We are here.
                          We are waiting.
