Cake

Portal is the best puzzle game I have ever played. What sets it apart from the rest (imo) is the graphics and game design. While some stages do have villains shooting at you, they are cute little robots with a high cg. Plus, you dont have a gun to shoot back at them, nor is there that irritating health bar. Basically, all you have to do is to look around and find the way to use your portals to get to the next level. The game is set like a lab experiment, where you are being studied on how you solve the puzzles. The voice coming over the speakers is not only humourous, it also sufficiently stokes your ego after each level. How can I not like a game like this?


Me, like a dog chasing its tail. And yes, I am hot

It got me thinking i was a real brainiac, until i attempted the advanced levels, which showed clearly why i didnt get into MENSA. Like you know who.

That aside, there has been this nagging feeling in my head lately. It just seems so wrong to be playing computer games all the time. And I am not the only one, cos my friend said all his friends arent playing anymore. Is this called "growing up"? Hmm.. on the other hand, I have absolutely nothing on my hands right now. If anyone has something meaningful for me to do, plz let me know :/

I guess the word is 'change'. Some wise-guy (actually a girl. the teacher from my tuition centre) once asked, "Whats the only constant in the world?" And after shooting down every response, the air-head put her nose in the air and announced "CHANGE!" She was always so eager to show how smart she was, and often derided ppl who were not in the arts fac like herself (in particular ENGINEERS). Always telling us which book was so interesting and why. Well obviously she didnt know of the ideal gas CONSTANT, or the van laar CONSTANT, or how my hate for her was increasing at that ever CONSTANT rate.

Being arty-farty was okay, but being a terrible teacher isnt. And so any attempt to show off just made things worse. No details here, its such a sad story, I will sell it to the tv station for the next drama/soap-opera.
