Extra Statement
Spending time to play games is not a sin, just that don't get obsessed with it. If someone said that I obsessed with games then they are wrong! because I have not enough time to become obsessed with it due to the project task that I can't complete it. I only have time to obsessed with the games when in semester break, but that I also need to work to earn extra income at that time. Haiz... so I actually don't have the chance to get obsessed with games. The best ways to settle this problem is that I had to change my character and attitude to became more serious and mature. Before this, I thought that character and attitude can be act playful to have more fun rather than stress&tension with the serious&mature character, the most important things is that we mature in thinking and serious when there is important task to complete, but no, I now have to changes the character and attitude as well. ><
I had a bad day
Today I am frustrated, angry, unpatient, crazy, dissapointed and much much more cause by many aspect. From last week untill this weeks my friend give me alot of task to do due to the reason saying that I am always very free (that's bullshit!!) because that I don't join any activity for this semester doesn't mean that I have to do so much work! If want to compare, last semester I join alot of activity also I had done my part for any assignment, never to says to them that "I am very busy and you all are free, you all do more work". Everyone have to do their part no matter how much activity we have because the activity is also we ourself join it due to our interest. Friends can only helps other friends to do the part when they are free and not totally pass the whole task to someone(that is not logic!). Yesterday I had to slept at 4.00am because rushing to complete certain task. From my opinion I think it is because of my attidude, when hanging out with them. I everytime do not act serious and keep on jester with them, and they do not think that I will get angry of how they treat me. I act such attidude is also want to create a friendly enviroment so that we know each other better not to prove to them that I am easily to be take advantage off, but some people will get wrong message. I also don't know why I have the strength to write this blog because now I am sick. Maybe I just want to release tension or to complain or for fun purpose only. :(

God Of War
God of War is a game for PS2 , I introduce this games because God of War has an incredible story, combining already written Greek mythology with the tale of Kratos. You will be interacting with Ancient Greek gods and numerous beasts of mythological lore. As mentioned earlier most of the story happens in flashbacks to give you hints into Kratos, but the Gods will update you along your journey, tell you what you need to do and how to do it. The story revolves around two aspects, Kratos desire to kill the God of War, and the Gods need for Kratos to save the city of Athens. There isn't alot to say about the story except that its almost like watching a movie, so you will definetly enjoy it. However the story isn't the best part by any means, great as it is, this game is all about combat.
Lets just start out by saying Kratos is one bad ass Spartan. Through his prior relationship with Ares, Kratos is equipped with the Blades of Chaos, forged in the fires of Hades these blades are attached to Chains which are forever branded and bonded to Kratos' arms and with them he unleashes a ruthless fury. Kratos has multiple attacks and combos he can do with the blades, a normal attack and a strong attack, combos of both in air and on the ground. Thanks to the chains attached to the blades Kratos is able to attack enemies at more of a distance than with a traditional weapon. The battle in this game is pretty intense and you are often incredibly outnumbered. At times you will literally be fighting a group of enemies for 15 minutes or more and most of the time you have to defeat every enemy before you can advance. Again thanks to the chains, Kratos can hit multiple enemies at a time. Kratos also has the ability to grab an enemy and perform a killing move, for example when you are close to a Harpy you can grab it and rip its wings off by pressing the circle button. For some enemies you will be forced to tap the circle button quickly in a tug of war type of manner with the enemy, and some require you to follow a button prompt, pressing the correct button or analog motion as it appears on screen. Doing it correctly results in a kill, such as ripping off a Medusa head or stabbing a Cyclops in the eye. It is important to note that not every kill move results in Kratos gaining experience, but for some its is the only way to defeat them. Kratos has many moves for his weapon that will have to be unlocked, and thats where experience orbs come into play.
Orbs play a big role in God of War, and there are 3 types Magic, Health and Experience. Magic and Health orbs are both restorative in nature and can be sometimes obtained from dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies but are more often found in chests. Blue for magic, green for health. You won't have too much difficulty finding health and magic chests or too much trouble replenishing your health and magic through combat. Red orbs are for experience and you will obtain most of them from combat. The more you punish an enemy, the more consecutive hits, the more experience orbs you will recieve. You will also find many chests that will give you large amounts of experience orbs. Experience orbs are very important as they are the key to all of Kratos' attacks and improving the magic he obtains throughout the game. You can distribute experience to your weapon or skills as you see fit. When each magic or weapon levels up you gain stronger attacks and magic or new attack combos for your weapons.
Magic is obtained as gifts from the Gods and are usually a signature of what the God represents. At certain points in the game, one of the Gods will present their image to you and tell you that you need the strength of the gods to proceed and offer you a challenge. Overcome the challenge and you will recieve their gift. There are only a few magical gifts in the game, the Rage of Posiedon, the Fury of Zeus, the Blade of Artemis, Gorgon Stare, and the Army of Hades. Each of these magics have their own unique attack and all but the Blade of Artemis require Magic Points. The Blade of Artemis is a stronger weapon then your Blades of Chaos but takes incredibly long to level up. The only magical ability that is not a direct gift from the Gods is the Gorgon stare, Athena will grant you the opportunity to fight Medusa and remove her head which you can then later use to turn your enemies to stone.
Graphically this game is amazing, but thats nothing you wouldn't already expect from a game made by Sony for the Playstation 2, however the graphics in God of War are even better than you expect. Every texture is highly detailed, from the motion of the water, the blowing sand and grass, ropes, walls. There are also several CG cutscenes that rival that of even Square Enix. Everything graphically about this game is near perfect. To go along with amazing graphics the game has a very good soundtrack. Ambient sounds are very well done and add a touch of atmosphere as you move around. The soundtrack is inspiring as well, utilizing a full orchestra to create a dark and forboding atmosphere.
There are a few things that I did not enjoy in this game and one aspect I felt was missing that would have made the game even better. God of War lacks a rotating camera and I felt there were many times throughout the game where being able to rotate my view would have been of great assistance. What I also did not truly enjoy was the insane number of puzzles and obstacles you had to drive Kratos through. While the puzzles are often simple to decipher the answer, the manner in which you must move through puzzles and the game itself can be quite annoying. I already mentioned the insane amount of times you will be outnumbered, and I mean really outnumbered, but also this game requires alot of making the character balance on beams, slide and swing on ropes, balance on the beams while blades spin around at you. It was irritating that even the slightest touch from an object on one of these puzzles would knock you off. In my opinion this is why the game did not recieve a 10. I simply was getting too frustrated, especially toward the end of the game with the things the designers made you do just to get a door opened.

Yeah!
Test 2 is finally over! is time top talk about games! Don't you agreed?! Do you
know about the the games name Last Order, square-enix production? It fantastic, Cool, Nice, and too many words to describe. The quality of the cinematic graphic is high, and even game play graphic is in high resulotion with best performance. The story line is about the time before the final fantasy 7, where Sephiroth was still young, Shin-Ra Company had been alerted to an investigation at the Mako Reactor in Nibelheim, saying that strange monsters have been coming from the reactor, appearing throughout the small town. Shin-Ra had assigned two First Class SOLDIERS to the operation, Sephiroth, who was known as a hero of his day, and Zack, a spirited youth who was strong enough to become a First Class SOLDIER. Among the two SOLDIERS was a Shin-Ra guard named Cloud Strife, whose hometown was Nibelheim. When they arrived at the town, a young girl named Tifa would guide them through the mountains to the Nibelheim Reactor. Cloud once knew Tifa from years back, when he lived in the town, and he promised her that he would rescue her whenever she was in trouble or a bind. He told her he was leaving the town to join First Class SOLDIER as well. Cloud, however, never made First Class, yet only became a Shin-Ra guard. Ashamed of not becoming what he promised Tifa, he hid his face with his Shin-Ra helmet.
When Zack and Sephiroth enter the Nibelheim Mako Reactor, the mysterious monsters are discovered to be humans, used as experiments, soaked and overly exposed to Mako substance. Professor Hojo of the Shin-Ra Company had placed these science specimens in several pods inside the Mako Reactor. Sephiroth notes the writing “JENOVA” on a vault door inside the reactor, whom he was always told Jenova was the name of his mother, and then begins to suspect he is created in the same way these Mako exposed humans were

Presentation
Today is my presentation for 'hubungan etnik' subject. The presation does not go well because some technical error occur during the presentation. The video could not play! so we tried to solve the problem but it doesn't work because the codec is missing. We then borrow another laptop from our friend. GUESS what happen?! it does not work too because the power point in my friend's laptop is not the lastest 2007 power point, the file of our presentation is saved as power point 2007 format, so the laptop can not run the saved file. WHAT happen NEXT?! We borrow another laptop from the other friend with the updated lastest power point 2007. At last we can continue present after 15 minute. The lecturer is not satisfied because of the delay, Hiaz.....What to do next? "just continue present la" my friend said. I dont expected this outcome because my group had plan for the presentation for so long and also put a lot of effort there. oO
