India Under Terrorist Siege

So, Mumbai became like a war zone. Suspected, Al-Qaeda Pakistan-link terrorist lay siege. Frankly, I was thinking the same kind of strategy that the terrorist should have used years ago. But, I guess they were into suicide bombing kind of thingy. Just like the Palestinians suicide bomber?

Now, that same kind of strategy is maybe planned by Al-Qaeda for the U.S. But, I would have guess that they would do it during President Bush administration. I'm not sure if it will happen during Obama presidency. But, who knows right?

By the way, don't take my word for it. I'm not a counter-terrorist expert or someone who can forsee and prophecise thing or whatever. Only, that, if you put yourself into the terrorist shoe, you might began to know their way of thinking and maybe what they'll do next. I'm sure they're already planning something. But, what?

For one thing, they'll think outside the box. They aren't stupid. They, will plan, and do recon and become a sleeper etc. waiting for the right moment to strike. They might use the U.S. own weapon againts them. That's what they're good at. Use the things around you to hurt your enemy. But, I guess with the world economy on the decline started by the U.S. sub-prime, they'll be a bit happy about that.

Things have been a little quiet right now in the U.S. NOT because of whatever the security apparatus are doing but because, the Al-Qaeda are retreating and consolidating whatever resources it have right now. Remember, in war, just because your enemy is retreating doesn't mean that they're losing. They might be setting up a trap!

These days, it's not the time to let your guard down. The world are currently in financial turmoil. Thailand are in a political conundram, and India just laid siege. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan seems to have no end and what can I say about the middle east crisis that we all doesn't know about?

Baaahh ..the world just can't stop destroying itself ya?

But, back to the India siege. I see that they're totally tactical and well planned. That of course against the backdrop of India incompetency in combating the terrorist?

Got to go right now. Be safe and have a great weekend.

My Zombie face on an iPhone game - iPhone Developer program!

So, like, check it out. A game developer for the iPhone "Auto Mangle" (more info at forum) is creating and designing a new FPS kind of game called "Zombie Mangle". He's asking anyone interested to send in their best zombie face expression to him. So, naturally, I did!

I send him the pic above!

He like it and I'm err.. pretty excited what's I'm going to look like in the game ha ha!

In any case, he's got the demo video at Toucharcade.com where you can get the latest games updates, video, latest price drops etc. Check it out!

Cube FPS (First person shooter) for iPhone 3G - FINALLY!

Click here to get your iPhone 3GS!

Hey guys,

So, guess what?

Finally. Cube is available for  the iPhone 3G after what seems like eternity waiting for Apple staff to approve it. I don't know what's the problem were, but I'm just glad that it's finally available and of course I download it immediately after reaching home!

Info posted on TouchArcade Forum: Click here.

A bit of warning though. Don't expect the game to fly right off the bat. Those, that had downloaded and try it out complain about the poor frame rates. Poor control and they definitely hated the music! 

For me though, besides the frame rate I don't have any beef with the control or music. I'm just happy I can play an FPS on the iPhone, finally!

The developers are talking about an update version 1.2 that will improve the frame rates. I'm pretty sure the game play will vastly improved. What's more important are that other developers can learn from this Cube port. To create better game, with better control etc. I can't freaking wait!

I don't know why some people keep saying that the FPS type of game is not suitable for the iPhone. That's totally hogwash, and Cube is an example of that.

Well, anyway. For the moment Cube is free for the iPhone so why not try it out?

Just go to iTunes and look for Cube. Check out the video above!

Enjoy!

Touch Arcade: iPhone Games, Reviews and News

Just a quick recommend to a site that I frequent everyday now. Because, they update their site everyday. Also, they have an active forum where you can join and post your comments etc. Some of the game developers also frequent the site. So, you can also give input about their games or whatever. You can even suggest an apps or game that you wish they would develop on the iPhone.

The other day, I read about a game called Zombie Invasion. When, I search for it on the iTunes store, it couldn't be found but through the forum I found out the problem and finally click the link provided by the game dev himself. So, that's how useful the site is if you're interested to learn about the latest apps and games that are being put out for the iPhone.

Check it out now!

Download Google Chrome and Google Earth Today!

So today, while searching for new updates on "iphone FPS games" on Youtube, I saw a link to try out Google Chrome, Google shiny new browser. I must say, my first impression was it looks so brand new!

It's like buying a new gadget for me. LoL. It has a nice blue color and everything seems 'zippy'. Well, I'm currently using the Chrome to type today's post. So far, so good. I have actually read about it on Cnet.com. But, didn't really think of trying it out until today. I'm already using Firefox and didn't think any other browser is better then it. But, what de heck. Since, I'm feeling a little curious today, why not download it right?

Also, at the same time, I downloaded the latest Google Earth. Like the Chrome, I've heard about it but wasn't that interested to try it out until today. I guess, today is like Google day for me, huh?

Anyway, Google Earth is way cool man. You should definitely check it out, if you haven't that is. I like it. I tried it out just now and it's definitely accurate. Or almost accurate?

Lucky, they didn't have any camera out there or you can actually see me half-naked right now, typing this post. Ha!

I'm actually waiting and wondering if I can get it on my iPhone. I know in the U.S. version of the iTunes you can already download it, but, I can't find it on my Singapore iTunes store. Bummer. I love this cool software. It's better then the Google map on the iPhone right now. And, it seems more fun to be able to look up your local road or check out italy on my iPhone!

Can't freaking wait to download it for my iPhone. Yeah, told you I love my iPhone so much!

Well, I'm off to try out Google Chrome and Google Earth. You should too!

Download it and try it out now!

Have a fun Sunday!

Chow!

P.S. It definitely feels the Chrome is much faster then Firefox writing and posting this post.

Am i an iTunes/iPhone addict?

Top paid apps on the App Store

First off, Singapore is in a recession. Click here to read news. Although, personally, I'm not feeling the heat, but I read about it almost everyday in the papers. I did work in an American company before where they laid off some workers and although, I was new there and they were saying I was safe but when some of us was being called to be told about the laying off, I did feel a little nervous. But, that was almost 10 years ago. Since, then, I've been in and out of jobs. I can't seem to stick to a job long enough. I got short attention span and I get bored doing the same job. Life is too short eh?

Anyway, besides the economy, I think I have another personal problem and that is I'm turning into an iTunes App store addict. LoL. Everyday, when at work and at home, I keep surfing the iTunes App store for new apps especially the game section. I can't stop myself. Although, my 3G iPhone is already loaded with lot of games, I still want more!

I have already spend almost $300++ ($200 in the first month of getting the iphone!) buying games through the App store. I can't freakin' stop myself. Okay, the games might not match the DS lite and PSP but I'm still hooked to it. Even though the new PSP-3000 is on sale (is it already?) and there are tons of games but I prefer my iPhone. You can't really blame me. I think because, I bring my iPhone everywhere. Even, to the toilet! Ha ha. There's so much you can do on the iPhone. It's not just for games but, you can surf, search, read news, check your email, listen to music, watch movies, videos and so on. It's an all in one device and so far, I'm really satisfied with it. It really hadn't disappoint me in any way. Okay, maybe you still can't MMS, bluetooth files or take videos. But, I didn't really miss it. But, I do hope on that side they would offer it in the 3rd gen iPhone and beyond. I'm pretty sure, the iPhone will be improved upon more every year. It's already a powerful device right now!

One kind of game I'm still waiting for the iPhone is the FPS 0r first-person-shooter kind of game. Like the one for the game console of course. There's a couple, coming on the iPhone, but so far there's no latest updates. I read somewhere that it's coming this November. We'll see then. I really hope, the FPS on the iPhone is the kick-ass type of FPS. Then, it will really raise the standard of the iPhone as a gaming platform. Yeah, the cute puzzle and flying games is fun for the iPhone. But, only an FPS kind of game will really draw the hardcore gamers to the iPhone. Not, sissy games!

Add multiplayer capabilities to it and voila!

You'll then see hordes of gamers on the train, buses, school, gardens, cars and don't forget the toilets! LoL!

'Nuff said. I have already surveyed the iTunes Apps store a couple of times today. I'm going to have a look again, see if there's any new updates. He he!

Hmm.. maybe, I AM an iTunes or iPhone addict!

See ya all later!
