Hey guys!!!

More than two years since I posted anything here. Well, there is a reason for that, which is "I lost my password". How irresponsible?? Do I forget to eat? NO. Do I forget to sleep? NO. Do I forget to play? Hell NO. But I am very bad at passwords and birthdays. I CANNOT no matter what keep passwords and birthdays in mind.

Anyhoo... How did I retrieve my password? well simple. Ever since chrome was introduced, I pretty much stopped using IE and today since there was a problem with chrome, I was forced to use IE and guess what, I was already signed in to gamespot. Hurray!!

A lot has happened in the last two years. A lot bad and a little good. Lots of stories to share. But for now, this is it... Hope all my fellow gamespotters have had an awesome two years. I will try being more regular here on and also make sure that I read your blogs as well...

As always...

Take Care

It took me about 47 hours to finish the game, and now m on my scond run through and the game feels completely different... The enemies get tougher and take more damage... How this works is, i am in somethin called as a New Game+ where you can keep all your upgrades and weapons from your previous play and use them in our New Game+ and this continues to New Game+++++++.... Also you can level your character toa maximum of level 792 i guess... M at level 91 and man I still cant get enough of this game.. Never has defeating a boss given me a sense of accomplishment and having beat this game I have proved it that I am no casual gamer.... Eve if i was one, this game has turned me into something more than a casual gamer...

PS3 owners.... U owe it to yourself to buy/play this game.... If you dont, I guess you are not making full use of your PS3.... Kinda bold statement ...

Anyways Take Care!!!

guess what??? I forget about the meeting . It was not till later that day when my manager called me up for my feedback about the meeting, that i realised i had screwed up big time. I was put under severe scrutiny from everyone. A

Anyways, its been almost a week and I am some what over what happened... Bu I can still see the anger on my manager's face... But who gives a $HIT right .... lol...

On the side note... I finally got my copy of Vampire : The Masquerade Bloodlines... This is easily one of the best RPG'sever created...Even there are quite a few bugs in the game, the gameplay feels so fresh and I would recommend that game to any RPG lover... And ya... I finally got my first platinum trophy .... Prince Of Persia is what i platinumed .. Really happy about that...

Anyways i believe that "Whatever happens, happens for a reason" and thanks to the incident that happened on 22nd I am now thinking of doing my MBA... Anyways i hope everything falls in place and hope to be at the right place at the right time..

Games Purchased this month:

PS3 -> Batman AA and Warhawk
PC -> Vampire Masqurade Bloodlines and Cryostasis

August 22nd 2008:

First day at work … Wow… I remember that day… It was the same time when I was trying to get over my break up… Life was really hard... I was nervous and$h1t scared!!! Wondered if I was cut out for the corporate world, wondered if I could climb up the ladder of success and make it big.. As these thoughts ran through my mind, I saw a glimpse of someone… Someone very beautiful and very very sexy, which according to me is a very rare combination, not to mention she was way above my league as well … The very sight of her did ease a lot of nervous energy in me and helped me calm down. It was kinda strange that even though I had never seen her before, she managed to calm me down to such an extent where I was no more nervous and was all of a sudden looking forward to my new venture… And after 1 year in the company, I must admit if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here nor wouldI achieve how much ever I have… So!!!!! Did I get a chance to see her again?? Did I get to be her friend?? All I can say is, I do owe her big time … After all life is not all that hard

Fast forwarding to October 4th 2008:

The day I got my first tattoo … This is how I blew my first salary

Always wanted to get a tattoo done, but never knew it would be painfull .. But trst it was worth the pain

January 18th 2009:

This was unexpected… I always wanted to own a PS3… But I never thought I would be getting one this soon… My plan was to get one once God Of War 3 comes out, but PS3 is such an awesome piece of technology that I couldn't resist … Ever since I bought my PS3 I have hardly played on the PC or the PS2... HOpe the PS3 gets an update with backward compatibility, may be then I can get back to some of my PS2 games .. Here's me gameing setup..

I have made it a point to game at least an hour each day… After 7 months I own 24 games… Easily one of the best and wise investments I have ever made. At this point in time I literally went bankrupt. But now all's fine J… I own 24 games so far… My psn is nautical_j, feel free to add me J

That's pretty much it… Thanks for reading… (An abrupt ending right? I know… ) More on the girl I met at work later .. And ya yes I did meet her again ... Take Care..

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: CLEAR SKY

I hope STALKER: Clear sky can offer the same excellent gameplay and the spooky environment but at the same time make this game a bit more easier to play..


MERCENARIES 2: WORLD IN FLAMES



The long awaited action adventure game from EA will surely be a blast..This time around there will be fully destructible environments and on-line co-op.. That will be fun..


SPORE


Should i even tell why m anticipating this game.. Who wouldn wanna create his/her own creatures??


CRYSIS: WARHEAD



This game puts u in the role of PSYCHO and will be playing a storyline that occured in parallel to CRYSIS..


FAR CRY 2



After the standards set by FAR CRY 1.. The expectations from this game is huge.. Hope the new develloper and the new engine can surpass the accomplishments of FAR CRY 1..

PROJECT ORIGIN

LEFT 4 DEAD

PRINCE OF PERSIA

In this game the playable character can consume the bodies of those he has beaten and killed, which gives him access to their memories, their experiences,their biomass, and their physical forms. He can also shapeshift into more specialized forms for attack, defense, or sensory enhancement.Wow thats awesome..

Also let me know if i have missed anyother awesome game set to be released this year..

GS SCORE 8.0 IGN SCORE 9.1 GT SCORE 9.0

GS SCORE 7.9 IGN SCORE 8.9 GT SCORE 8.0

GS SCORE 7.5 IGN SCORE 8.5 GT SCORE 8.0

GS SCORE 7.5 IGN SCORE 9.4 GT SCORE 9.0

GS SCORE 7.0 IGN SCORE 9.0 GT SCORE 7.5

Well, not only when compared to these scores, even compared to many other leading game review sites GS have been rating PS3 games really low.. All the above mentioned games mentioned really deserve to get a 9+, well except Folklore.. But Folklore did deserve atleast an 8.. M not asking GS to give all PS3 exclusives a high score.. Just asking them to rate all games genuienely..

PS: M not saying that MGS4 did not deserve a 10.. It does deserve a 10.. But the way GS usually rates the games i feel a 10 was just forced..

First of all it should have amazing graphics on the lines of CRYSIS..
Story or gameplay wise it should start off as GTA San Andreas where in the initial part of the game you will be trying to make a name for yourself.. Then once we have gained enough name and made hella lot of money ur loved one, say, your girl friend or one of ur family members is being kidnapped and held captive in some jungle in AFRICA.. And now the gameplay would change from GTA to Far Cry or even like Uncharted.. Where we would have quiet a few boss battles and also a few crazy animals in the lush green jungles of Africa.. And once we rescue our loved one we return back home.. When we reach home we see that our homeland is being invaded by another military force.. And now its time to serve the country and the gameplay would change from far cry or Drake to COD4 . Here the game would change from TPS to an FPS.. And this part will be similar to COD4 with lot of guns grenades and lots and lots of action.. And thats it.. That would be the end of my dream game.. End with a BANG..

Well am i asking too much from just one game?? Anywayz its just a dream game.. And if there is one thing that u have no limit on, is ur dream.. So dream big..

One of the main problem is that many a times a person is not considered to be successfull if he doesn have or earn enough money, if he doen own a car or even a good house. Its like Money is the new synonym for Success. You have money you are successfull or vice versa. This is completely wrong. One should never measure success with one's money. Success is a journey and not the destination.

True success is achieved when one is healthy, spiritually sound, has a happy family, can satisfy one's needs and strong intellectual development. And hence is money is not the only way to measure one's success but money also plays its part along with others. Remember money can buy hookers but not love. Money can buy you a big house but not peace of mind. And most importantly money can buy u so called friends but not a TRUE friend. What about things like love, good relationships, self satisfaction through accomplishment, the feelings you get from helping people and all the other stuff in life that is worth living for. Do these things represent something more valuable than money?

To summerize I think money is certainly important as it allows you more freedom, but is money everything? No, I don't believe it is everything but if there was something that could be considered, everything, or the most important thing of all, I would have to say that yours dreams are everything. Your dream of getting that big house, of never having to work again, of meeting and having that ideal partner love you forever or maybe even the dream of getting enough to eat or the dream to survive is everything. However, once one dream comes true it then leads to another dream so as long as you keep dreaming you will get closer to having everything. So do not stop dreaming or you might lose everything.

So if u think that money is everything, well think again.. Cos "To those who can dream there is no such place as faraway."
