Ain't she gorgeous?

I've fallen in love the first time i laid my eyes on this baby. This is exactly the casing i was searching for to house my ultimate gaming PC; it's got a cool front design, transparent side covers (although not that big but still could see inside what?) and a genius of an idea to use plastics slide em' instead of screws. Chenbro Gaming Bomb! What a bomb(shell)! It's kinda cool to see the insides of your PC thru the transparent sides, and i've fitted a fan that flashes bright colors at the back and a normal fan at the front. Way cool! Building the PC from zero was totally fun! All thanks to my buddy Efendi who showed me around. I enjoyed it immensely! Give it a try!

This is what the Chenbro Gaming Bomb looks like...

Woweee!!!

Ya'll wanna know something? I have a spanking brand new PC (ooo yeah!) and to tell u the truth, i'm crying to pieces! (I'm not really...well i should!) Really...to me this is what all gamers should have and nothing less. But it really depends on everybody. You see...this new PC costs me....well...my bank account! Man... i gotta work and start saving again! Man....

I decided to spend quite considerably because i want it to last for a long time (ok...also to be able to play Doom3 when it comes out). With computers, nothing don't last so long; not unlike game consoles where their life time is roughly about 4 to 5 years. I did my homework...y'know...did some researching and all. But in the end i ended up with something...very...different but satisfying none the less.

I kinda toy around on getting a 64 bit PC (now most are 32s) in the form of AMD Athlon 64. The thing is, you'd need an OS that will support the 64 bit thingie to get the most out of it...There's Windows XP 64 bit edition (there's a beta version) which is not out yet. There's Linux 64 bit OS but i'm really not familiar with it. I really wanna try out new technologies (64 bit) but i guess it's still early in development (for home PCs)...and there's not big a support still. 64 bit computers at the moment are used to do big stuff like animation and the sort. So i guess i'll back off till there's more people who can clarify their powerfulness in the gaming arena.

I build my PC from the ground up. I bought the desired components and went away. This was my first time putting together my very own PC and i have my bud, Efendi to thank. He's been great and taught me much. I've always wanted to do this for a long time but was put off for a couple of reasons and one of them is, afraid of breaking anything. Silly huh? It could happen i tell you but the most important thing is...you gotta be sober while working at it and just stay awake. What i mean is to know what ur doing. I thought it was hard at first but after finishing assembling it, i gotta tell u...it was quite a piece of cake and such a joy! I liked putting in the RAM (I was kinda scared before...even got into a nasty fight with my bud- weird huh?), the graphics card in the slot with a satisfying CLICK! Gotta love that!

So here's my PC spec...(nothing to brag about by the way, ehem)

Processor : Pentium 4, 3.0 gig (1mb cache) Hyper Threading
Motherboard : Intel D865PERL ,Usb 2.0, SATA, Dual DDR
HDD : SATA Seagate Barracuda 80 gig
ODD : Samsung Combo DVD-RW
RAM : 1 gig DDR Kingston
Audio : Creative Sound Blaster AudigySE
Casing : Chenbro Gaming Bomb (I've fallen in love with it!)
and the best thing for last...
Graphics Card : Asus ATI Radeon 9800XT! 256mb!!!

Yowza!

PAINKILLER review

Woohoo! I haven't had this much fun since playing Serious Sam! That game was great and all simply because it was all nonsense and hordes of enemies on your butt, there was never a boring time. Painkiller is that kind of game also but the people from Dreamcatcher sure does it in style!

You start off as this guy, along with his girlfriend and they got involved in a car accident. The girl gets to enter heaven but somehow our hero here is denied of heaven; instead has to earn it by killing Lucifer's top 4 commanders. Some story this is! I guess you need some kind of story to get things going, and this is just fine.

The weapon in Painkiller is awesome. You get the Painkiller which is a melee weapon but also a laser thingy. The stake gun is a one hit-one kill weapon which is good but it's slow to reload. I kinda like how the stake shoots and stick the badguy to the wall and left him dangling there. Oh yeah, this game has a cool physics engine and you'll get to see arms and bodies flailing around. It's simply sweet. Even the objects have the same property and it is a great game mechanics.

The place your going is in between Heaven and Hell, but the environment strangely seems like on earth, except more eerily. You'll never get bored of going through the levels as all the levels are unique. You'll be going to military base, the harbour, train station and also an opera house! Weird huh? You'll get a dozen or so different enemies and all are very distinct.

The big bosses in the game are something. And when i mean big, they're BIG!!! Some 3-4 storeys tall. Whoa! But it was fun beating them if you know how to. The end level, which is the Hell...is pretty cool. You expect to run into lots of fiery fires right? Not! It's cool how they depict wars of different eras as the setting. The last level was pretty big y'all. Simply stunning!

The game graphics are well done and looks sharp. You'll have tons of enemies onto you and the screen still holds up. Special mention also to the Audio. I'ts pretty downright scary and gets your heart beating real fast.

My rating: 8/10 (Outrageously scaree!!!)

Silent Hill 4 : The Room

This is the theme song from the upcoming Silent Hill game. This game is like Resident Evil but more gruesome and frightening...huhahuha!!!

You lie silently before me
Your tears they mean nothing to me
The wind, howling of the wind
The love you never gave, I give to you
Really don't deserve it
But now there's nothing you can do
So sleep in your only memory
Of me, my dearest mother
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despise
I don't feel it not for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

Babai!
