Online Text Based Games

Simply put this phenomenon has been around for a long time and I have had my fair share of these games. My current 2 favorites are Tribalwars and Torn City .

Most of these games are slow going and have a real time play involved so that you could end up playing for years on the games. Which isn't surprising as these are real simple games that take real time into account.

Simple games like these are fun but they lack in graphics that the new games have. Although I am starting to prefer these text based games purely because of their playability. You could spend days and hours on these games where as in the newer games like COD: Black Ops you could only spend a few hours with it and then your bored.

Or the newer games end up being purely an online pay game that cost's an arm and a leg, like WOW which are really awesome but you can only play it online. Might as well get a free online game and be done with it then.

Oh well that's my rant for the day. :P

My conclusion Textbased = Awesome! :P

Not sure what to expect but I am slowly getting myself worked up about a special lady. I am planning on taking her out for some coffee this Sunday and I can't seem to make the days go faster. Please someone help speed up time. Then slow it down once it is Sunday!

Manga

One of the most recent things I have been doing is reading a lot of Manga. One of my biggest past times is to watch anime. Since I haven't had my machine for the last 3 months ( hair pulling of note ) I have been downloading the Manga for a lot of the anime series that I have watched or am watching. Turns out that is I am starting to love the manga just a little more than the Anime. The stories are full and descriptive but also allowing ones imagination to go wild a little. I look forward to going deeper into my manga in the future as they are extremely good!

Power of Nature

Gotta love nature and when it simply amazes people. Earlier today, there was a ring rainbow around the sun. It created quite a stir as a lot of the people here at my office have never seen this before. Crazy especially since this is a fairly common occurrence here in JHB.

Quite Time

After nearly 5 or 6 months, since just before the Soccer World Cup here in SA ( It rocked!) I finally have 2 weeks in a row of quite time. It feels weird to not have something on the cards for the weekend. I can usually give a friend a call and be off on some gallivanting drunk or gaming session but this time round, I haven't got anything. It is weird, but also good. I needed some recuperation.

Although that puts in a spot as I have nothing to do....

Sorcerers Apprentice!

What a great movie this was. Had the chance for a relaxing weekend this time round. So I decided I would go and watch the new release with Nicholas Cage Sorcerers Apprentice.

As most of you will remember the cute movie with Mickey Mouse where he had a little incident with the brooms, it was great to see that this had come through to the new movie which had some great humor as well as special effects to it.

It is by no means my favorite movie of the year but it sure was a cracker of a movie and one I would re-watch in time.

I saw the cheekiest advertising yesterday, something that I haven't seen the like of in SA for a long time. The main reason being, competitive advertising in SA is "frowned" upon.

Everyone in SA is aware of the biggest sharks called Telkom and their closest competitors Neotel. Driving along the N1 to Pretoria just going through the Midrand area, Neotel has one of their main offices setup there nice and visible in Orange.

Now Telkom decided that they would put an advert on a billboard not more than 200m away stating " Beware the Orange". Well not in those exact words but that is what they said. I find that extremely hilarious as well as annoying at the same time.

Firstly because Telkom are such assholes, who have been raping this country for years with their expensive telephones charges and interenet solutions. Now they have to balls to stand there and advertise such a blatant add against Neotel which I might have been a right step in the direction to cheaper internet and telecoms.

Oh well, now that we know that Telkom is starting to worry about their market share, especially since a lot of service providers are undercutting them and a fair amount of new options coming out faster each year, but why would they go to such lengths as advertising something so grossly inappropriate.

Anyways, my rant is off for the day. :P

Ahh what a weekend! Went to the braai, which ended being a beer pong night with some free swimming lessons with my cloths on! Slept over and woke up to the breakfast of champions, more beer! :P

Then went to putt-putt and had some chow. After wards we cruised through to Sexpo which was ok with a few interesting sites. :) After wards we went back and had some more beer!

Slept over again and then went from their to more putt-putt and then a good dose of pc and games at the Rage Expo!

After wards went home and watched The A-team, Salt and The Karate Kid....

What a hectically packed weekend! phew!

A weekend that should be extremely hectic! That is what I am expecting this weekend coming up.

1st: Friday going to a birthday braai! Should be entertaining.
2nd: Sexpo on the Saturday! First time going so should be really awesome!
3rd: Going to Rage Gaming Expo on Sunday!!

What a weekend!

National Heritage Day

Also known to us South Africans as National Braai day, where one gets to enjoy our national past time of taking some chops, steak or some Boerewors and cooking it over an open flame!

This people don't even seem to be that aware of it, which is a little sad as this has always been a great time for family and friends to get together and talk about rubbish. :P

Either way I am still looking forward to this one mostly because it also means a long weekend for me.

IT'S THE WEEKEND BABY!

So looking forward to the weekend.

Going to a mates 18th so that should be really sick. Especially the Last Man Standing shooter comp......

Whatever am I going to do... :P

Lol, completely forgot I even created this blog. Wonder if anyone has even seen this blog.

Hmmm, well either way, random comment for the day.

THEY BE PAINTBALLING!
