Clear and Present Danger

Today I am on medical leave. My back is killing me, as a result of me lacking in exercise.
Yesterday me and my wife were washing the house. It has been a while since we did it,so the
hard work really got the best to us. But the feeling of a clean and hygienic house is awesome.
I sent Kimi, our family furkid to my parents.Kinda missing her so I am going to get fetch her later.
After all, I deserve this rest. I just wanna kick back and enjoy the day. Maybe later I will take my wife to
see Clash of the Titans.

The division's head boss, the one who I am taking care of now has offically invited me to join his division.
Thats awesome. Someone told me before, join only if the head boss invites you.. and it has happened.
He said that an advertisement of the job will be out and he wants me to join. Me?
I have no problem. GSC is, in my opinion, dying a slow painful death anyways. True, my team mebers are
depending on me, but let's face it,I have a family to feed. That tracendence overything.
Big bonus, good pay, awesome boss, what more could I ask for..

I just my PS3 Slim Malaysia edition last 3 weeks, with Final Fantasy XIII as a free gift. Awesome. I noticed this
small beast runs extremely quite. So I am still now busy, redownloading all of the games stored in the PSN server.
So until now, its still downloading. This is my small review of the thing.

Looks
Well, frankly speaking, I hate the looks. It looks like a PSP battery, looks cheap and fragile.
I like the chrome finishing tho. But I have one beef, why on earth the 'PS' button can't
be rotated according to the way we set the thing? I noticed the USB port got somekind
of an enhancement, they now look expensive. Thats a good thing. But definately the
small size is a huge plus.

Feel
I like the matte finish. It feels slick and really invites some design to be air brushed on (ermmm) The chrome
finishing like I said earlier is awesome, and despite of what people say, the power and eject button feels solid
when pressed. I like how the buttons have their oen light, really beautiful when watching a movie in a dark room.
And the PS3 trimming is GOOD. Its like I can shove any paint there and its still gonnabe awesome.

Okay thats my review of the system, basically its a smaller sized PS3. So the OS etc is still the same, only thing missing is
'Other OS' which later Sony removed completely due to Geohotz claming he can run a custom firmware using that feature. Sony,
being paranoid and all, removed it completely. Me? I dont care. I dont have any third party OS on my PS3 and I am tired playing
cat and mouse with Sony like the previous generation. I just want to enjoy my games, thats all.

Okay, I am deep into Final Fantasy XIII now,once I reach certain point in the game, I will write a small review on it. Thats one game,
my backlogs are:

God of War III
Heavy Rain
Uncharted II : Among Thieves
White Knight Chronicles
Star Ocean International Edition
Army of Two 40th Day

And lots more I cant think about. Its gonnabe a busy year. Later.
