Darksiders 2 on GeForce 210

It's the same day but I wanted to create a separate post for this. I'm playing Darksiders 2 on PC & Dark Sector on PS3. DS is a pretty cool game. At least it was till the first 6 chapters. There are just too many zombies now & very little humans. It's still fun. I won't say it's underrated because I'd give it 7.5/10 too like Gamespot but this friend of mine hadn't cared about it much. I'm not the only one who thinks it's a decent game. It's a really cool game if not awesome.
Anyway this post is more about Darksiders 2. I loved the original Darksiders. It was more like God of War. This one is more like Prince of Persia. The platforming like wall run, side wall run, jumping beams & even combat music remind me of POP series. I wonder if the developer is different. That doesn't mean I hate it. I love pop series especially the 'Sands of Time' Trilogy.  Darksiders 2 is a cool game. I like Death more than War too. War was so expressionless. You could hardly see his face. They put more emphasis on his armor. Although Death has a mask on & it's a cool one, he seems to have some personality. However, I like the gameplay of original Darksiders more. I also don't like enemies lurking everywhere you go. I love platforming, puzzles & the music though. The characters seem nice. The skill system & the outfits are a nice idea too. I also like that we have this bird as our guide. The horse for now is usually for the huge fields but I don't miss him that much. I also like it that we get to use the gun early one & the one with the unlimited ammo at that. It doesn't do much damage but hey, you do need a ranged weapon ASAP in games like these.

About how it plays on my card:
While I played the original on my PS3, I'm playing this one on PC. I still have GeForce 210 512MB SDDR3. Games like Saints Row the Third & The Witcher 2 ran slowly on on this card. But Darksiders 2 seems to run smoothly. It also takes small space as compared to the other two games I've mentioned. It's taking 5.45 GB on my hard disk. At first I thought this might be a demo or a short version but it's not. OK, I've had a few problems. First of all it's the frame rate. I don't know what's going on. Either it's too fast for a human eye or not so smooth. The camera/aim is faster. I can slow it down but it seems the game play is kinda faster too. Not too fast but a little. Or maybe it's trying not to stop in the middle & jumps off after some brief pause I don't notice. But it's not that bad that you can't play. Some people might not even notice it. It's obviously not on high settings. It's toned down. Somewhere b/w medium & low settings. The other problems are related to the PC & not the card itself. I don't know if it's same on consoles but there seems to be some kinda collision detection problem or Death doesn't 'recognize' some surfaces or even enemies. In combats, 90 percent of the time, he attacks at every direction BUT the enemies'.  It's a bit hard to make him focus on enemies. He keeps attacking away from them & because of this keeps hacking & moving away & I have to bring him back closer to the enemy. Secondly he doesn't 'know' whether to wall run up or run the side of the wall. Half of the time he keeps doing the opposite. I mean when I want him to wall run up to grab the 'grabbable' structure above, he'd run sideways on the wall & vice versa. The hints/tutorials seem attached to the area. I was side jumping a wall when the game told me to hit A (Yes, I'm using a shitbox controller) to jump off to run on the adjacent wall. When once I failed to touch a wall & instead was in the air, the game still told me to jump off the wall :P  So over all it's a good experience. Maybe not as great as the original game but it's very close to that experience. I'd recommend this to everyone who enjoyed original Darksiders & those who enjoy POP games.

Jason Todd - Origins.

I was reading the #0 of 'Red Hood and the Outlaws' just a few minutes ago. When I had started it some hours back, I had to put it 'down' because my friends were here. But I had loved the way it had started. Anyway, so I resumed a few minutes ago & finished reading it. I'm not really happy how the story later continued & ended. Jason Todd as Red Hood is an anti-hero & not a villain. Although the story started nicely with his parents being shitty, but later they showed him stealing stuff too. This kinda story is usually written for villains IMO. OK, I know that Catwoman steals too & she's not a villain, rather an anti-hero or anti-heroine if that's a word or so. But he spent his time with Batman as Robin. Now, I haven't read much on him as Robin but Batman's side kick can't be an anti-hero let alone a villain. He may have had his moods but I don't believe he may have stolen anything or was never happy as Robin. I also believe he may have turned as an anti-hero because he later blamed Batman for not saving him. That anger could have made him an anti-hero. Anyway, this was one of my fav series but it's been boring for me since issue 10 because of aliens & spaceships. This issue was different as it was the origins but the next would continue the story of Koriand'r & her sister which means more aliens. I really hope they end this story soon. The only comic I enjoy reading that has aliens is 'Green Lantern' because the story is really nice & the mythology that Geoff Johns is creating. I love Johns. He's a great writer & story teller. There are other DC comics I read that have aliens too like Grifter, Voodoo (probably ended/would end with issue 0) & Action Comics but they have gotten boring for me too but I don't wanna give up yet. As for Superman, this third writer is way better than the previous two but I don't blame George Perez because Grant Morrison & DC never told him what was going on in Action Comics. He didn't even know first that there was another superman comic going on. Superman would get more interesting for me if they take him back to Smallville, make Lana Lang Clark's girlfriend & make the series more like the early seasons of the TV show Smallville where people would get intro trouble because of meteors & kryptonite & clark would go save them etc. The Metropolis, aliens & Lois Lane are so boring for me that I might give up reading this shit.
Anyway, I wanted to post Jason Todd's pic as Robin from issue 0 (2012) He looks hot in this pic. Looks so much better than that jackass Damian. I just wish Batman would feel the same ;) I really wanted a kiss between them but that's not possible off course.

Feminists Suck!

I was just reading some IGN crap on comics and as usual Mr. Joey Esposido showed his hatred over sex and violence in comics & further said he's concerned why it's done for 'predominant male audience.' I hate his opinions since he tends to get feminist. Either he doesn't have a penis or he doesn't have balls. Catwoman isn't a porn magazine. The sex & violence was done in a story way. It seemed necessary. What is wrong with showing some sex for male audience if there are tons of other comics where women aren't shown as sex symbols. Why should they only care about female audiences? Batman & Catwoman have been shown to have feelings for each other since a very long time. Either he never read those comics or his memory & brain have been relaunched along with DC's reboot. Feminists talk against men and they think they are doing the right thing & nobody says that they should be blocked but when men speak their mind and sometimes it's against women, they are considered sexists or misogynists. Sexism is different. It's like considering the other gender inferior. It's not talking against women or showing sex. Next, I read at comicvine, which is a really cool site about comics & have better reviews and cool features, that some guy at twitter whose id was MisterE2009 or so has been blocked by some comic feminists and others. If we don't agree with someone, it doesn't mean we should block their ass. I haven't read his tweets so I don't know what he was saying but here people talk about freedom of speech and there they get annoyed and block someone because they got offended. I don't see men blocking off feminists. It is actually feminists who are making men hate women not sexists. If some people talk about equal rights, then why do they tend to take lion's share instead? I really don't understand them but I don't expect THEM to understand either. I used to believe in equal rights for women & still do but I also hate it when feminists become sexists. Feminists get offended if Catwoman is shown half naked but women enjoy it when a man is shown naked such as in Gambit #1. BTW I enjoyed them both. I mean their nudity too. Catwoman's origins in Batman: Year one is shown as a prostitute. And although her history is revamped, they are showing some relevance to it. So what's wrong if someone who's some how related to a prostitute is shown half naked. What's wrong with it that some female characters are shown sexy. Do all the females have to be non sexy? If so then why enjoy male nudity and go against female nudity? Not all comic characters are shown nude. Batgirl isn't shown that way. Then there are other female characters. If a a few are shown for some other audience, people have a problem with it. Feminists are so selfish. They only think about their rights and don't care about others. I'm so pissed today lol. I think I hate some feminists more than homophobes or maybe I hate them equally. And if feminists are more stupider than I think, then this blog may soon get blocked too for freedom of speech.

Fish Point Sucks

Yesterday, We went to Hyd for some shopping & all. I bought a new scanner, got new RAM, since the old one  died, bought new clothes, new games & a shitbox controller for my desktop. There were more hot guys at the PC/CD shop.

We decided to have food at a hotel called 'Indus Fish Point.' This entry is mostly about the review of that shitty place. My experience there was almost shitty. Two of my friends agreed with me too. Maybe I was expecting a lot from it since we were comparing it to KFC or maybe it was shitty anyway.

First of all, it was a hot day & there was no AC in the hotel room. The toilet was ok too. The stairs felt like they could snatch and fall (I won't say at any time). There were some planks before the stairs ended.

They made us wait a lot. I don't remember waiting this much at any Hyd hotel/restaurant. Even 'Pizza Point' which is another shitty place was quicker than this. The guys with me were throwing stuff on the floor :( I hated that. I don't know whether to blame them or the management for not providing us anything which we can use for junk.

The food was good though. Not awesome but good. But I won't waste my time again in this shitty place

just to eat an everage-well tasting food. In these kinda hotels, the food is usually cheap but not here. :(

Luckily I didn't have to pay. The dude, who I have a crush on, paid the bill. Poor guy. Everything was so expensive. We could have a better experience at KFC. Almost same or a little more price but better environment. But my number one place for food at Hyd is 'Pizza Hut' off course. I got a pizza & garlic bread for me from takeaway later on.
Other than above mentioned difficulties & discomforts I hated being around Muslims. I couldn't take all that religious crap from people around me. So over all it was a very shitty experience. I'm never coming here again & I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone but at least I know what are some shitty places at Hyd. I call these mistakes as lessons learned.
----

Later at Shehbaz hotel, the place we all love to relax for a cup of tea, some desi food & a place to relax or even read a book, wasn't that good an experience this time because one of our friends forgot to order the food. So instead we just had tea & had to leave early. I was really pissed at this. I usually wanna spend more of my time here because this place is perfect for relaxing after a long & tiring journey at Hyd. Other than this, I wanted to capture this cute guy on my cam but some jackass came & stood & sat in front of him. I tried my best to take his photo but couldn't take a proper one :( I'm sharing some here:

Bat shower

 

So Alfred can see Bruce, naked? Wow, Lucky man.

E3- My fav conference

This could be my first e3 post here. I had talked about it last year too but maybe somewhere else. I may be a Sony lover but I try not to become a fanboy when judging E3 conferences. I don't think last time I had said that Sony was the best & the rest sucked. But I don't remember much & let me talk about this time. IMO Sony nailed it :P Out of the three consoles, Sony had the best conference. Microsoft came a second for me & that's all. But if I was to include EA & Ubisoft press conferences too, I'd say UBI won :P My scores for these conferences are:

Microsoft 4/10
EA: 1.5/10
Sony: 8.5/10
Ubisoft: 9/10
Nintendo: 1/10

Microsoft:
I loved the new trailer/gameplay/footage for my most fav game Tomb Raider. There were some other good games too but I found the rest boring.

EA:
The only trailer I remember liking was Need For Speed: Most wanted. Even though it's my most fav racing game, I wasn't much excited at the end of the footage. The emphasis was on multiplayer. Something I still haven't properly experienced and I was confused why they chose the title 'Most Wanted' too soon, considering the game was popular both with fans and critics.

Sony:
I loved almost everything Sony showed. Loved God of War: Ascension footage. They have seemed to gone higher than GOW3 in graphics. This is the best looking Minotaur ever. Although, I haven't read anything on any elephant guy in Greek Mythology, I loved the boss. 'The Last of Us' was mind blowing & I enjoyed 'Beyond' too. I missed 'The Last Guardian' & 'Infamous 3'. Also, they could have showed more of 'Hitman: Absolution' and 'Bioshock: Infinite' It was also good to know that you can get classic games on PS Vita, though I'm playing TR1 on PSP nowadays.

I had missed Ubisoft live because of some net problem but thankfully I could then sleep for an hour before waking up for Sony. So I watched it at IGN later on. The rest of the live stuff at gametrailers.com. Anyway, so I enjoyed 'Assassin's Creed 3' footage very much. 'Watch Dogs', the one showed at the end? was mind blowing. For me, Splinter Cell is dead so that was a disappointment. But at least the footage I saw was better than what Microsoft had shown. So other than a few little things, I didn't find anything I didn't like.

As for Nintendo, I'm sorry this time I didn't like it very much. The only thing I liked was third party games like Batman, Assassin's Creed & Zombie U. I don't know what's the purpose of an HD console when the games are as shitty looking as those on wii.

I'm still watching the live stuff on GT & will be watching their backstage stuff. I'm usually unable to watch all the vids I want because of some site problems they have but hopefully I'd be able to see many good trailers. I'm still dying to watch God of War:A again.
-----
Other than this I've been playing L.A. Noire on PS3 but I'm not going to talk about it tonight as I've already said enough. So that's all for me. I've been doing some bird photography lately & I usually post my photography at flickr, I might post a few pics here ;)

LGBT Rights on Google News

I added a few sections to google news some months? ago. Sections such as bisexual, gay, mens rights, cats, etc. However, the news I get for these sections isn't always in the favor of the categories mentioned. Half of the time, the news for gay section is discouraging as the news, posted, mentions stories about some rights being snatched away from them, or someone being jailed for being gay, or some church trying to "cure" people or some state against gay marriage. I wonder whether I've made a mistake of adding these sections because the news I'm getting is very discouraging. I thought, as the time passes by, the LGBT community may be getting more rights, maybe, slowly gay or bi people are living more freely and maybe more countries are accepting other sexualities but why the half of the news is about the stories of narrow-minded people? Either google does not understand what kind of news I want or the world is changing its views against people. It worries me to read such stories about such narrow-mindeness. I hope it's just a weakness of google to generate wrong stories and not the world becoming hard for people. If it's the world, which I hope it isn't, then it's so sad to know that the people aren't improving their thinking. But I think it's google since under my section for cats, 90% of time, the news I get is about some baseball team and not about the fluffy feline animal that goes meow meow.  

Blah

Sometimes it seems useless? to post w/ no one to comment. I know this should be like a real diary but it's not online for nothing. I haven't been able to find more bloggers who would comment on my journal though I'm following 3 nice people but I don't want to pressure anyone to comment on my blog. I do get views. My post about the GeForce card got more views.
So what's this fuss about blogger deleting gay blogs? I didn't know google would be homophobic. If this is true I might delete my blog & tell my gay friends never to sign up for blogger. Maybe it's the homophobic people who read blogs & flag it inappropriate. The world is full of homophobia. A friend can leave your side once he/she finds out you're interested in same sex/as well, thanks to religion & homophobia.
Anyway, watched a few epis of 'Archer' & 'Breaking Bad' Other than some racial & homophobic remarks, they are ok. Archer can be hilarious... The phone that keeps ringing in the background is annoying though. Also the constant shouting in the second epi was annoying me. I couldn't keep watching the third (or maybe it was 4th?) episode of BB. It had nothing to do with the main theme of the show. It was all about personal life of the characters & I turned it off at the students gathering at his home. It felt like a daily soap. I don't hate soaps, well some of them. I like a few soaps but I was watching BB 'cause I liked the main idea of the show which has been absent since the second epi. I do wanna keep on watching 'Archer' though maybe because of some jokes & the nice looking animated characters. Skyrim has become so repetitive for me but I don't want to uninstall it but there are so many other games I want to play.
Saw 'Gnomeo & Juliet' w/ friends. I liked it more than 'Rio.' It's one of my favs now. I wanna watch more animated movies since the rest of the movies of this year don't interest me, other than a few ones not nominated for Oscars. Well, maybe a few of them are. But IMO 2010 & 2006 were the best years for movies. 

bi the way

One thing I don't understand about some bisexual guys is that they seem to completely ignore the fact that they are attracted to both genders when they are in a relationship with a girl. I'm not talking about the 'not-yet-out' guys but the ones who do show their interest in other guys openly, either when they are single or maybe in a relationship with other guys. The moment they find a girl, they tend to 'forget' that they are bi. This could be because of the homophobia in the country. They probably want people to know they are not half gay or maybe their girlfriend gets jealous. Maybe they don't like doing that but have no choice for some reason. This is one of the reasons I look for gay guys more. Now there's this guy who used to comment on my pics at Facebook, sayin I look sexy and all. He apparently got in a relationship with a girl lately. Maybe he's not even with her any more but missing her or so. I just commented on his pic saying I liked his pants. He said something like, 'LOL thanks, man.' I re-posted saying, 'They look good on you. Or is it you look good in them?' He replied me with 'lets just keep it at nice pants :P' Now he's a really good friend of mine but I was a little sad for a while. I tried to ignore it but it just reminded me of other bi guys who had done the same to me or others. Again, this could be because of the society. Maybe they are sick of the majority of the people showing their disgust at same sex relationship. Or maybe it's their girlfriend feeling jealous or insecure. It would be a different matter entirely if that guy was not out yet as a bisexual guy. Although that would be sad too. But it's more sad to find out that these guys who weren't that afraid to show their feelings, are now trying to hide themselves. I don't want to bash at anyone. I love bi guys but it just makes me sad when someone who is not afraid to show his/her feelings in front of others and has been doing so, can suddenly change his/her attitude.

Skyrim Gay Marriage

OK, As mentioned in my profile, I'm bisexual. 90 percent of video games are based on Straight people. So whenever I get a chance to be either gay or straight I choose to be gay. In 'The Sims' however, I sometimes make my characters straight too. What I mean to say is that since in other games we HAVE to be straight, so when 10% of the games DO give us a chance to be either way, I usually become gay. The only game I remember where you could be a bisexual is Bully other than 'The Sims'. In other games you may be bi in the beginning but HAVE to choose one partner later on. Although some RPG games specially Dragon Age series give you good characters for you to marry, there are still some limitation. Skyrim wins here I guess. Not everyone is good looking in Skyrim (There are some blond girls but they are 'unmarriable') but you have tons of people to marry. And none of the dudes are exclusive to girls & vice versa unlike in Dragon Age. Anyway, so I had married this guy at the village called Rorikstead. His name is Erik that later becomes Erik the Slayer after you complete his little quest in order to marry him. He's based on a gamer who knew a lot about Oblivion. The game developers were so impressed that they gave him a tour of their office. But he died of cancer before Skyrim was released. May he Rest in Peace. Anyway, so I shot some pics of my character & his husband. This is my dude. I named him Orton (Yes, I love Randy Orton.)

 So he met his love on Rorikstead village (there were other eligible guys but in the end Erik seemed the best choice for him) Erik asked him to convince his dad to let him go on adventures so Orton did that for him.

 

 Erik was happy then, so Orton asked him about marriage & he accepted. Orton went to the church & waited for him (although I'm not a religious or a church kind of a guy but I guess some marriages work only that way unfortunately.) 

The people Orton had been doing favors for, arrived as guests.

 So finally Orton & Erik got married.

Orton asked Erik to move in with him at his house at Whiterun.

And now sometimes Orton takes him along with him to some adventures.

 And that is how Orton & Erik got together :P

-------

Anyway, it's funny when your follower starts using the powerful weapon or wears the better clothes you give them to carry. Erik has started wearing some Enchanted Mage Robes I gave him to carry & uses this staff that creates some frost trolls to scare off enemies. But I'll make him a better enchanted armor out of leather. I gotta mention a lot of other things but I'm runnin out of time & have to waste time on other stuff so I'll mention my levels & other things I do, on some other day, if I remember. So, this is all for tonight.:)

Skyrim on Geforce 210

I was so addicted to Skyrim that I took, what I would say, a big step to make it work again on my PC. I had asked a friend to get my PC & card checked. But he couldn't go to Hyd for a reason. So this other friend encouraged me & I thought of going there myself. I hadn't gotten my allowance yet but this aunty gave me the money instead & would deduct that from my allowance. Actually the card ended up being the zombie instead. They checked another card which actually worked on my PC but it was cheaper. I had gotten 9800 GT for RS 13000 or so & this card cost around 4100 rupees only & the strange thing is that the game seemed to work on it in medium settings unlike my 9800 with which the game worked on low settings. I had 5000 with me so what did I need more :P I fucking bought the card just to keep on playing the game. But I guess maybe it's a good decision. I got a cheaper & a better card. I bought 3 games too. 9800 card is outdated. It worked for around 2 years on my PC. I don't know if I'd get another card anytime soon. I'd be getting a new system soon.

Skyrim on better PC

My PC went dead on me only after a week or so of getting a new motherboard & the casing. Well, not actually dead but more like a zombie. It does work now but w/o my Geforce card which sucks because I won't be able to do some 3d stuff on it including playing Skyrim which I was able to play for 4 or so days w/o much trouble. But the good thing is that I'm getting a new PC now which would be a 'Core 2 Duo' meaning I'd be able to play Skyrim on a PC it's meant to be played on. My Geforce is strong enough. It was the processor that was kinda older. I would be needing more RAM too.

Skyrim

Playing 'Skyrim' nowadays on PC & 'Mortal Kombat 9' on PS3. Completed the story mode. It was good but the 'Konquest' mode in 'Armageddon?', the one about Dario, was better. In this story mode there's only fight & cut-scenes and no adventure stuff :( I'm trying to beat Shao Kahn w/ every character on easy difficulty. Enjoyin Skyrim but not as much as oblivion yet. Maybe it would take some time before I would. I haven't played much yet. A good thing about this sequel is that now you can get married & that too either as a hetro OR a homosexual guy/girl. WOOHOO. And that's not all. There are a LOT of people you can get married to :P This is probably the only RPG, or at least the only one I know of, where you have a lot of people as a choice to get married to. I'm playing as a dude & I'm definitely gonna marry another dude.
Was watchin WWE: RAW SuperShow. It's just another RAW show. Nothing 'super' about it. The 3 hours should have beem '3 hours non-stop action show' but instead it's '3 hours non-stop- yackity yack show w/ a few matches in it' :( I pitty the people who buy the tickets. Winter is comin. I felt the cold breeze again after some days at night. But it happens here at Hala. The 'real' winter starts durin December & ends during Feb unlike in Karachi. This is probably the only thing I like about Hala over Karachi. Unfortunately I don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend to warm my bed ;)  SIGH.

Journey

I had gone to Saanghar for some reason and had enjoyed a lot after a long time. I had taken some pics as usual. I'm gonna post a few of them here. This time I'm trying to read one comic a day so I can have something to read before another set of DC comics arrive. Usually I read them in 2 or 3 days or more but then I keep waiting for Thursday. This sucks though but I'll decide at the end of the week whether to continue like this or read them the way I used to. I follow only 3 Marvel comics and they get released after a month :(
I recently finished reading, 'The Hobbit.' It was great... not awesome but great. I'm reading, 'The Outsider' by Albert Camus, translated from French by Joseph Laredo, nowadays. So far, it's been a page turner.
My desktop is fucked up. It won't install new windows :( I'm gonna have to take it to Hyderabad which would be on Sunday.

Hmmm, playing Gothic 2 nowadays. It's as cute as Gothic 1 but also as tough. Superman 2 was all right. I didn't like issue 1 that much either. Maybe I liked this one a little bit more. But I don't want to stop reading the series. After all he's my childhood hero. I like Batman books more though. The only Superman story I've ever enjoyed was 'Superman For All Seasons' by Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale. I haven't read many though. Lois Lane is so annoying. Half of the comic is ruined with her senseless talking. Gothic 4 (Arcania) & Risen look so beautiful. I'm definitely gonna get these this time I go to Hyd.

I feel bored most of the time again now that I've completed 'Dragon Age 2' I wish I hadn't uninstalled it yet. I was thinking about replaying it right after I had finished it. I don't really replay the games that much right after I finish them but this game has replaybility value. The only other game I had thought of replaying right away had been 'Shadow of the Colossus' but the ending had fucking depressed me & I hadn't played it. Hacking my PS3 is proving useless as I haven't been able to play any game after I hacked it. Sometimes it's the game that won't run, sometimes it's FileZilla. I have nothing to play at the moment. I still wanna run away since dad won't let me move out but thinkin about the stuff, I would have to carry & my cats, slows me down. I guess I'll have to send my stuff to Karachi first. That would make me more invisible when I'd runaway. I'm still worried about my cats.

I still have many DC comics [number 2's] to read & which reminds me I haven't even read Daredevil 5 yet. I read the fourth chapter of 'The Hobbit' earlier yesterday. Still not sure if I should resume it 'officially' but I guess I'll read more of it later today. I also read a little bit of 'The Outsider' by Albert Camus. It started nicely. It's a short read thankfully. I hate thick books.

I masturbated again hours ago. I mean, I don't masturbate everyday but it happens at times. I was so turned on & started to watch my fetish stuff (sorry if this offends anyone) so I really had to...

I have started liking black tea more now. I did more exercise today. Well, I mean yesterday since it's already another day now.

After break

Yea, it's been days since I posted, but I usually wanna post something 'weight-full' rather than the rambling. I had gone to a few villages & had taken a few pics but they are on my desktop so I guess I was lazy to port them here. I will add them soon. I'm making this fetish art in artrage nowadays so this is one of the reasons I haven't been able to do other stuff on my lappy. This time I've probably put more effort in artrage. I'm enjoying it more too. It has done a lot for me but still, photoshop is photoshop & I have to find a way to make pressure sensitivity work in it & to use shortcuts in tablet mode if possible. I had completed  'A Storm of Swords.' some days ago. I'm reading 'Down the Long Hills' by Louis L'amour nowadays.
While in Dragon Age 2, I'm in the last act. I'm romancing Anders as a male Hawke. The asshole did something I didn't like but I will support him. I don't want to give up on him now. I find him very attractive too. If I play this game again, I will pursue Isabella I guess. She's hot as well.
Tomorrow, I'd be going to a mela to watch live cultural wrestling called Mallah. It is similar to sumoan wrestling in Japan. If I'm able to take good snaps, I'll post them here.    

Windows 7 sucks

I downloaded 'Paint.NET' and checked to see if the pressure sensitivity works in that software but alas, it didn't. The actual culprit is 'Windows 7.' Not only does it make HP's webcam software disappear but it also makes the pressure sensitivity of the this tablet (TX 2000) useless. I'm not the only one who's complaining however. Others have mentioned the same thing at forums. Other than that, the crappy mouse/cursor options make your life a living hell even after you turn them off. It only makes it less problematic then. The funny and stupid thing is that you actually have to turn this option on to turn it off. Why would anyone want to click everywhere they hovered their cursor over. It closes so many windows and links etc.
By this time, the only software that the pressure sensitivity works with is Artrage and although that software is cool, it's not as smooth as Photoshop. The only option is to either download new drivers that may turn off other features or install XP. This is like a slap on Microsoft's face. As much as they want the users to move onto their next software that may exclude many cool things from previous softwares, the users keep reverting back because of the problems in the new softwares. Microsoft has never been my fav other than XP. They don't care shit about their customers. I hope they go bankrupt.

So I finally completed the book, 'A Storm of Swords.' It was a good book. Very thick but not worth the effort. It had it's boring moments. When I had been at early chapters, my opinion had been different. I had thought this is going to be an awesome book like the first one. But later, after reading more than half of the book, I had thought it's better than book two but still not as good as the first one. And now that I've finished it, I think it's almost as same as book two which was b/w fair and good or so. So what would I be reading next. I'm thinkin about reading 'The Last Wish', 'The Blade Itself' or 'Down The Long Hills.' I had read it a little bit and it seemed interesting. Or I can continue 'The Hobbit.' 

Comics

Not much going on, I guess. I didn't feel like posting & no one's commenting on my journal, anyway. I need to interact w/ more people. I'm still new here. Well, I had created the account in 2006 or so as I mentioned in a previous post but never used it then until recently for reasons mentioned in that post. Moving ahead in 'Dragon Age 2' & 'A Storm of Swords.' I miss trap making from previous game :( 4 chapters remain in the thickest book I've ever read, probably. Didn't like the second issue for Green Lantern :( Batman & robin was 7/10 for me. Still a few good ones remain to be read: Suicide Squad 2, Grifter 2, Ressurection Man 2...

Dragon Age 2- Anders

Played more of 'Dragon Age 2' Can't wait to meet 'Anders' for male on male action. ;) He meets us in the quest, 'Tranquility.' But I want to finish other quests in Act 1 before movin on to that one. I read we should complete all Act 1 quests before doing that one. But when I had read the walkthroughs it seemed that we are able to meet him and bring him along in other quests which is really confusing. Or maybe the Act 1 would end after 'Deep Roads Expedition' and not after 'Tranquility.'  If so, I'd meet him tonight (which would actually be earlier tomorrow). I 'got' DC's number 2's & some other comics. So far I've read Batgirl 2 and loved it. It was 8/10 for me. Haven't been reading 'A Storm of Swords.' lately on my lapee. But read it on my PSP last night after a day or two. Dany used to be one of my fav female characters but I'm starting to dislike her more :(
So why the green tea was a bad idea? Well, I made it, had it and liked it but it did something to me. It turned me into a vampire. Kidding. I started to have weaker erections, I was on the 'verge' quickly & the precum came quickly. I'm not the only one though. Before this happened to me, I had read other guys mention this on net. Quitting it however changed things back to normal for them. For me, it's been a whole day and I haven't had it and I already feel the change. Some people say it increases the sex stuff but not for me. I couldn't find these side effects anywhere on the net but that one page. I don't remember the address at the moment. But I felt 'rock hard' in the morning ;) KD decided to stay home for the third day which means I have my room to myself if I want to masturbate watching my fetish stuff but I doubt that would happen since I'm addicted to 'Dragon Age 2.' BTW I miss two things from the first game. The asshole dog, mabari (maybe not that much) & setting traps. Maybe I'll learn the latter later.
