  Dead drunk, end of exam, Witcher: Enhanced Edition and Wii !!!

  Well, yesterday was my last day of exam... Awesomeness!!!..... Went to a private party, enjoyed seeing my friends getting wasted... Oh yeah bought a few stuff recently...
  
  Witcher: EE... I have to admit when it first came out last year, the damn game is so freakin' buggy and the dialog is laugable.... BUT Enhanced Edition changes all that and I'm already somewhere in the middle of Chapter II.... The Witcher universe is definitely interesting and the storyline is really top-notch and worthy to explore... One of the best RPG I've ever played. (I have lost my faith in Neverwinter Nights 2)
  
  And I bought a Wii !!!... Currently playing around with Wii Sports and now I'm looking for decent Wii games to play... I would really appreciate if anyone could give me a few recommendation!...
  
  I guess that's about it... My head is spinning coz' of Johnnie Walker: Black...
  
  Enjoy your weekend!

  Yoshiki, X Japan Press Conference in Bangkok.

  As a great fan of a Legendary Japanese band, X Japan. I have collected pictures of Yoshiki, the band leader, who was here in Bangkok for Press Conference, and made it into the video I have posted here. He was here for the opening of Thailand X Japan Official Website and to announce a special news, the 1st X JAPAN LIVE Concert in Bangkok!!. By which, he stated that it will be on the 31 JAN 2009.
  
  The X Japan was disbanded back in 1997, I was a still a kid back then. Only started to listen to X in year 2001. I was really disappointed that I would never be able to catch any of their concert nor meeting them in real person anymore.
  
  The death of hide (hi-de), the guitarist of the band, also one of the most popular members among the fans, in the year 1998, had almost sealed any possibility of the band getting back together. The news of his death spread all over the World through CNN and other national TVs with over 50,000 fans attended the funeral. It was a tragedy. By the end of it all, 4 fans successfully commited suicide and several other unaccounted attempts.
  
  The members, Yoshiki (Band Leader, Pianist, Drummer, Songwriter, Producer), PATA (Guitar), Heath (Bass) and Toshi (Vocal) all went separate ways and work on their on solo projects. In 2007, X Japan reunited and launched a single "I.V." which is used as a theme song for SAW I.V. They held a LIVE concert in JAPAN back in March 2008 with hide's guitar part as audio playback on some of the songs. hide also made appearance on the stage in the form of videos and hologram while some of the songs were played by other accomplished guitarists such as Black Light Burns, Richard Fortus of Guns N' Roses and Sugizo of Luna SEA. To the fans' delight, X JAPAN was reunited and kickin'.
  The band is organizing a WORLD TOUR. The next concert will be held on 22 November, 2008 in Paris.
  
  Yoshiki has been on the promotional tour around asia to finalize dates for concert dates in Hong Kong on January 17th, Thailand on January 31st, Taiwan on February 14th and South Korea on March 21st.
  
  I love most of their songs but my personal favourites are "Say Anything", "Weekend" and "Kurenai". I personally love hide's solo works too... Some of the catchy songs were "Goodbye" and "Misery". Although we'll never be able to see hide in life anymore, his spirit and songs will always have a place in every fan's heart.

  Crysis: Warhead

  Bought it in the evening and finished it.... It took about 5 hours to finish the single player campaign... I have to say it's a very cool game and yes it's got more action than the original Crysis.... It's hard to say anything about the story without giving away the spoilers (well, actually I'm just lazy =P)... So all, I have to say is that it's a worth buying title...
  
  The package includes 2 DVDs. One is Crysis: Warhead and the other is Crysis Wars which I haven't got the chance to try it out yet. I'm so far happy with this game and I guess I'm going to give it a rating of 9.0! and Good job, Crytek!

  
  
  Actually, after I tried not to be lazy... I think your starting point is when you got separated from Nomad after the Harbour got blown up and yeah Nomad heads straight through the tunnel and etc.... You find yourself began in a crashed VTOL! and you won't be meeting anyone from the original Crysis (of coz, that's exclude the Koreans and other generic alien)... Only new cast of characters will make appearance here.... Expect around 3-4 new weapons, about 3-4 new enemies and 2 new vehicles... That's all I can recall... Have a nice day, folks!!
