  1. With food crisis the world is presently facing, unfortunately its the fastest and efficient method (With unknown consequence) to be a viable solution without facing prolonged mass starvation. GM food are common in Singapore to the point there is no need to brand them as GM food. So far, nothing tragic happended to any of us yet.
  2. Thanks to the British empire, there is such a place known as Singapore now. Thanks to the British Empire, Singapore realizes the value of independence by being abandoned during Japanese occupation. Thanks to the British Empire, China eventually breaks its grip from monarchy rule due to the results of the Opium War. Thanks to the British Empire, China learns much from Hong Kong when its returned to the Motherland. In all, the Empire had great influence in Asia to South East Asia.
  3. Two baby. Unless I got mixed up with the extra from Project New Jersey, but if I recall correctly, its two. Maybe the devs could give a precise answer instead.
  4. Even though if the game is not rushed, its still concerning to know that the project had been switched hands between three lead designers with MCA being the third. Hopefully the inner working's finally finds its pacing and consistency again by now.
  5. Have faith good in Obs's Audio Director, Mr Brandon, good Pop. Afterall, he is responsible in bringing the magic of V.A in MotB which seems in favor with most folks here as far as I know.
  6. Leave my Sheryl out of this one.
  7. Try beating this one. ::Warning, may ravage the viewer's brain::
  8. Kana ~Little Sister~ Just started playing despite knowing what the ending will be. I just hope I don't fall into a week long depression based on the feedbacks of many others who had played the game before.

    I had just read/listened(?) finish to Key's translated Kinetic novel, Planetarian ~The Reverie of a Little Planet~ . Kinetic Novel Planetarian Story Review: Do not let the anime cuteness posters, background and characters mislead you or go biase with your first impression. This is because I feel the visual novel is excellent on its own with the visuals added to capture further expression and the excellent music to heighten the drama scenes. Like all stories from Key, they emphasis on themes we are all familiar of. The story of "Air" on the relationship between mother and daughter. The story of "Clannad" on the relationship of father and son. The story of Planetarian this time touches on a different aspect this time that is familiar and yet new to everyone: Innocence of humanity through the exchange between a man and a machine. Ironically, the machine being the one that reminded the man of the innocence he lost as well as bringing hope. As the story of Planetarian progressed, I felt many kind of emotions stirr within me that is quite rare just by from reading novels. The strongest emotion I could express with words would be nostalgia. The setting of the story takes place in the future, thirty years later of a great war that left the planet earth in ruins. Even after the war, the remnants of the war's legacy in forms of warmachine robots remained active. The protaganist is a junker who salvages pre-war relics to sell in the market with items like cigerrates and alcohol capable of fetching high prices. The tale begins when the protagonist stumbles upon a ruined planetarium where he he encounters the heroine known as "Reverie". Like all visual/kinetic novels, this is an extremely linear novel that simply leads the reader from start to finish through the story similar to how CD or Radio story series do. So just sit back, relax, and get immersed into a bitter sweet tale. The novel lasts about roughly 4 hours if you set the mode on Auto where there is Japanese track accompanied to read the story. A fan-made music of the story's theme:
  10. I recalled watching that old 1960s spy serial TV show when I was a kid. That guy used his shoe as a phone that requires twirling the the circle to dial numbers.
  11. 12 Angry men. Henry Fonda edition.
  12. That's democracy for you.

    Crest of the Stars novel. Far more in depth and detailed than the anime counter part, but again the anime were based on the novels in the first place. Unfortunately, the translation quality by Tokyopop can be at times so disappointing as they deliver the conversations by the characters with current generation's english slang. Worse, those sentences are delivered by the Abh! Ugh. Dammit Delray, translate the books instead.
  14. Make Arcanum sequel plz. K. Thnx. Bai.
  15. Artificial Girl 3. Man, H-games never looked this good and . . . interactive.
  16. Ah, Krez expressed it far better. I supposed I kind of translate it too literally that brought misunderstanding. Apologies.
  17. Nah. Chinese to English translator will sound weird. I think he meant he is sort of an ambassador on behalf of the Chinese people in expressing their views as well as welcoming them into the world of Western RPGs.
  18. Duh. Isn't it all about achievements in the end for console games? >.> <.<
  19. Do we count achievements as one of the 1337 sk1llz?
  20. Yep, Obsidian's own Onyx engine. Apparently MCA expressed desire to use the in-house engine to make KOTOR3 if Obsidian gets the opportunity based on the last interview. Pretty much shows Obsidian's confidence in their In-House engine this time around.
  21. Last I read, HC rejected those numbers as well as requiring the National Party's approval before it can become official.
  22. Guess by adding Michigan's and Florida's votes, the rules installed beforehand would be meaningless huh. I suppose from then on every election, conventions would happily break the rules whenever they see fit if there are no penalty at all.
  23. Just tweak your imagination slightly by imagining Matt as a stout female dwarf with bristly beard,well endowed chest and a fine beer belly.
  24. Sniper rifle skill? Grenade/Throwing skill?
