This sickness ripping my judgement apart

I dont know what sickness slithering my body now.

2 doctor obviously had a different opinion.

1st:"Kamu Kena gejala Tipes"

2nd:"Kamu kena radang tenggorokan dan radang hidung"

man....

i just want to concentrate to my study.

btw i found several object of interest today:

  • http://www.cse.uiuc.edu/iem/integration/adaptivq/
  • http://masseffect.bioware.com/
  • http://offtopicproductions.com/hdtp/

The first one is a reminder to me about how the current generation diminishing need of paperback book (except for a healthier eye,i suppose). You can learn about numerous things online and even with splendid animated tutorial

The second one is the game i currently playing. Obviously there are just too many flaws within this game. The story is so so. The planet exploration is minimal. There are not too many city with myriad people(in fact the only fleshed out "city" is only the citadel). The inventory management is a mess. And so many more.

But what happen is i'm fall in love with how it takes its science fiction lore seriously, and its cinematic (love the depth of field!!) camera. So now i'm currently on my second run with my new Adept Avatar.

The third one is the modification that i have been waiting for so long for the game that has been dear to my heart(DEUS EX!!)

So thats it, the object of my interest of today.

Excellence Never Goes Out of Date

That title is taken from one of the Escapist magazine article.

And frankly, i found myself quite agree with that.

Shigeru miyamoto said that a delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever. True what is good will always good and in gaming perhaps the aspects that can be immortalized is either sound,art direction,gameplay or story.


Last week i played System Shock and this game still creep the hell out of me even if it came about 14 years ago!

The same goes with Gabriel Knight: The Sins of the Fathers which its engrossing story kept me awake for hours a month ago.-This game's story is still the best of game's story even compared to today standard-

This is some examples of how game doesnt need to be judge by current technology alone (graphic wise) which many gamers today considered upon.

And this is not only applicable to gaming alone but to literature(Death Train,A Catcher in the Rye),Movie(Casablanca),Music(Frank Sinatra,Claire) and other kind of entertainment.

A good game is a good game and a bad game eventually be a bad game.

Excellence truly never goes out of date.

-Curently playing Final Fantasy XII and believe that this game will have the same fate as the game mentioned before

Next Project: Finish System Shock

While i recently have been talking about how great Looking Glass Studio's personel and game are.

I become interested on actually finishing one of their greatest game:

System Shock!

-using portable version from strangebedfellows of course-

In my opinion this is the best shock of them all including System SHock 2 and Bioshock.
So...

Wish me luck

The Legacy of Looking Glass

I truly believe on those creative person behind Looking Glass Studios.
They are creative persons who strive to deliver the most unique experience on gaming but sadly overthrown by the market.

There are several game they/their ex member made that i liked:

1.Deus Ex-the god/ultimate emergent gameplay example

2.System Shock

3.Guitar Hero

4. Half-Life 2

5. Ultima 7

Just by looking those examples, im pretty sure you get the ideas of what those people capable of.
Anyway enjoy the next link containing articles of them/their games:
