Metal Gear Solid 3 Theme : Snake Eater


Enjoy!

The feeling of being screwed

Its just plain awesome. I mean, sending and email asking me questions, then after my reply, includes my boss in the CC list. AWESOME. And what kind of faggotry is that? We work to RESOLVE ISSUES, not finger pointing. Dont tell me, after your wretched birth, you have never made any mistakes, at all? Fuck it. I am talking about two women that literally are out for blood, always looking for mistakes from my team. Shared services means shared responsibilities, not finger pointing. Fucking bitches I tell you. Fuuuuu! Both of them can go to hell, (well at least one of them is confirmed lol) I will run the operations as I see fit. And whats the worst that could happen? Fired? Lol. Just try me, maggots.

Damn I am sleepy.

Applied for the vacancy, still no news on it. I hope I can get the position in HR, any position, I dont care, as long as its in HR. I am not going to be screwed anymore. Its too much. My place carries no weight at all, its like these assholes are treating us like we are a third party vendor. Fuck them. Seriously, FUCK THEM ALL. We are also a part of the Group. If your division is driving the profit, well at least thats a good substance. But you guys are SD's biggest losers, and I dont mean that in a good way. Fuck I am angry. Damn. I better go to bed now.

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.

Kept you waiting huh?

Afterwards I am going to the bank to settle the instalments of my car and my personal loan. Sad thing CIMB cant accept transfer from Maybank 2 u, so I have to drag my lazy ass to the brick and mortar bank to actually transfer the funds. sighs.

Ok, I am 110% in charge of Sime Darby Energy now, besides Plantations. Habibah, the old team leader left. The lady is paid a hefty 7ks per month, but still, she cant handle the pressure. Me? I honestly dont know. All I know, I have been bending too much and that makes me an easy target for a 'mass slaughter' should anything goes wrong. People do not respect me or my team, so now I have to become a bitch to stop further damage. Last week I had a bit of a drama with the snobbish Payroll team leader, where they claim my people is not competent enough to handle the data resulting in wrong payroll result and they had to rerun the damn thing several times. So I, being a bitch countered back that we need another layer of checking and not some whiny old people that deserves to be beaten up in the car park. In the end, my boss agreed with my proposal and he wants payroll team to check my team's data. I WIN. The thing that was making me pissed is, in actual fact, my team finished their input on Wednesday, but the assholes ran the payroll on weekends, so when crap happens, they want us to be on stand by at the office. what the fuck. What happened to the 2 days while we were all in the office? The reason they want to run the payroll on weekend is they want to claim over time and call back allowance. This is downright robbery. And some people do not want dirty money, like one of them who just come to the office on weekends to claim this payment, he is not actually working but busy surfing EPL's result. No wonder his wife left him. I told them that I do not permit my team to go to office on weekends. Anything, I am the god damned DAM. They will have to go thru me first. I want my team to have a good rest and spend time with their loved ones. So, am I a bad boss because of that?



Isn't that just awesome? No seriously. Its fucking awesome. And this is for PSP. PSP. PSP. Its not even in HD. Damn. I blame Bill Gates on why its not coming to next gen console. Kojima is afraid, his bosses will succumb to the almighty dollar in porting the damn game for a DVD. Look at what happened to FFXIII. No towns. Who do you blame? DVD. This is the age of Blu ray. Sorry folks this is the truth. If its in DVD, Kojima might as well port it for PS2. LOL

This Sunday I will finally re-buy PS3, Slim this time. Cant wait. And with that, goodbye Facebook.

The Best Metal Gear Solid game

Ok, lets kill time before I repurchase my PS3 slim. If only Finance folks use their goddamned brains to pay my travel claims on time, I would have not written this piece, instead I am sure I would be playing Final Fantasy XIII now. Pricks.

Anyways, here is my pick, the best MGS game in the series. For me, its , Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater *clap clap* Ok. Let me give my points.

1. The story

MGS3 tells us the story for a lone olsider that travels to Russia to extract one defected Russian scientist, only to find out that he must also eliminate his mentor. Melancholic. The plot really reminds me of old Bond movies. Also, lets not forget, this game's setting was in the 60's. And, in Russia. Past Metal Gears (in Sony's console) happened in the future, but not this one, and MGS, being a game that is incorporated with real life army tech, tried to fit the 60s flavour, the guns, the vehicles, the people and the fashion. I really like the ending where Eva said,

"No she is not a traitor, far from that. She is a hero, and everything she did, she did for her country"

Fricking sad if you ask me. And, Naked Snake, being a man, is so strong to discover he was a tool for the Philosophers. I love how he was injured and tortured and 'brought back to life' to face his fate. And, The Sorrow's prediction that he was going to be killed by his son is totally wrong..HAHA. Big Boss in MGS4 dies of Foxdie. NOT by the hands of Solid Snake.

2. The food system

Okay you are basically a commando. And was dispatched into a vast jungle to accomplish your mission. You have a normal army gear, not those sneaking suit that is so damn tight and burns calories slower. You gotta eat. And that is what Naked Snake is doing in the vast jungles. The different effects of the food, the poisons, the rotten food. Awesome. You can even defeat one of the bosses by simply feeding him rotten mangoes. How awesome is that? And the term Snake Eater is actually a real term used to describe US Rangers.I was only wondering, why cant we eat dogs and the vultures in the game?

3. The tech/weapons

I like how the suppressors deteriorate after extensive usage. And we have a whole range of Cold War weapons. TNTs, etc. Awesome research by Kojima Production.

4. Close quarters combat

This is the meat of the game. This is the FORTE of the game. I really like the fact that if we are caught in the ALERT more, we can CQC the hostiles instead of running away. This is Big Boss GODDAMNIT!! And Big Boss never runs from the battlefield. Try playing MGS1 or 2, just imagine they had this inside the game, then I'd give MGS2 the Best MGS series ever. Seriously.

5. The Cobra Unit

Okay, we have here, THE COOLEST line up of villains in video games history. Before them, it was the Foxhound. But since Cobra has the Sorrow, who is practically a ghost, it was an easy win for them. A fricking ghost.The Fury, The End, The Boss, The Sorrow, The Fear and The Pain. Awesome.

6. Camo system

Soldiers = camouflage. As simple as that. I really like how the choice of the camo really affect the gameplay. With the correct camo, you can be, INVISIBLE. And to get those boss' camo, you need to defeat them with non lethal attacks, drain their stamina. Each camo has its own ups and down. But my personal favourite is ..

You gain this from defeating The Sorrow, well, actually just walk to the end of the canal of death. You can practically absorb the soldier's fatigue and your footsteps will be muffled as long as you wear this. Awesome. Perfect for holding up the hostiles. But one comment, changing the camo to the suitable one is a bit tedious. You will have to go the system menu to equip different camo. This is where octo camo wins. But nevertheless, the feeling of getting an enemy to get by pass you unnoticed is sweet.

7. Boss @ The Joy

The Mother of US Special Forces. Led US to victory in the WW2. And the mentor of Big Boss, hence the name. How she sacrificed herself to save US and how she went down in history as a war criminal, but not to Big Boss. The master of CQC. He charismatic character and her sacrifice plays a pivotal role in the game. One of the best characters Kojima ever produced.

Well, those are my points. True, MGO started with MGS3. But the game is fince without that mode. The best MGS ever.

RAGEE!!

Well, I was supposed to buy my new PS3 slim today. Since Finance folks told me that my travel claims should be banked in by today. I contacted them back today, and it turns out that it will be only be banked in next Friday. What the fuck. I asked them what happened, apparently they were 'overwhelmed' by the number of claims that they had to processed. Is that even an answer??!!!!!!!! So I asked them, if we HR folks delay your pay, are you okay with it? Silence all over. Stupid bitches.

Who's that?
