The new Metal Gear. Rex/Ray?

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the last installment of the Metal Gear series, which (should) ends the Solid Snake saga, well, that's if Konami doesn't make anymore spinoffs tho. Anyway the new trailer on E3 is damn gorgeous, check it out here.

Me, myself has been a fan of the MGS series ever since from the first game on PS. It offers one of the best gameplay of its genre, and great cinematic sequences and story, you'll be playing more to unfold exactly what's going on in the game. The story was not like cheaply written, it has the quality of the best conspiracy movies Hollywood can offer, and that makes the game a must play.

I've never owned a PS2, which MGS2 and MGS3 is released into, but hell, I finished MGS2 on my friends PS2 during the school holidays , and for MGS3 I rented a friend PS2 and finished it. All for the Metal Gear love! :D.

paperworks.

My second post on blogger.com actually, my first one was back in 2004, but then i moved blogging somewhere else. So here I am, back again on blogger.com.

Yesterday I've updated my Nokia 6680 by installing Lifeblog, it keeps log of your phone activities, it tracks your ingoing and outgoing sms'es and your picture, so if you take a picture, Lifeblog will log it. What's nice is you could easily post the logs on Typepad, and what's crap is, you have to pay $4.95 for the basic subscription. But oh well, my geeky curiousity was killing me, so i subscribed for the 30 days trial membership. So yeah, i took a picture with my 6680, write something on it, and send it directly using GPRS, and voila! I posted my first post using Lifeblog!

But hey wait, I think I've done this moblogging thingies back then using Friendster Blogs, and it's FREE! You just need an email-capable phone and an outgoing e-mail server (SMTP), which you could get it easily if you have a gmail account (smpt.gmail.com), also you need to setup your phone so it could send email directly from it (I won't explain this :P, refer to the manual please). When you have all of those, you could check for the mobile blogging options on the Friendster Blog control panel. And it turns out that blogger.com has that moblog (mobile blogging) feature too, and i think it has better features than the Friendster's. So here I am giving my best shot on blogger.com .

Oh, check out www.last.fm , it's a MySpace-like and Friendster-like kind of community site, but it tracks your recent MP3 player playlist. It uses plugins that can be installed on your Winamp, ITunes, or Windows Media Player, even you could track recent songs that you've played on your iPod. It will create a statistical data and charts of songs that you've played, and compare it to others and meet you with them. It's like having a music-specialized community group where you could meet up people who share the same music taste as yours. So signup and add chromeragnarok as your friends :).

By the way, next week is my final testpapers, starting by English and then Maths A, Computer Science, Economics, and Maths B. Oh well, I'm going to finish my foundation once and for all, I'm really sick of it, and I'm longing for my home (which I'm going to see in another 3 weeks)! Wish me luck on my study! Thanks :D.
