Antique MG Gunpla Collection

So i bought some gundam mode kits today! Guess wat i got?
A really rare kit in Malaysia (In Jp there should be plenty)! MG Guncannon!!!!!

lol now i can pair this guy along with another antique kit! And this one really really very old! The first MG kit! RX78 Gundam! It is MG no. 1 release back in 1995! Wonder if i want to sell this kit would someone paid a high price for it or not?

This dude is really old man! And back then Bandai directly print those logo on to the kit! So u get multiple color on it instead of decal!

Ha dunno when i am gonna build it leh............

MacBook Air

Someone gave my dad a Macbook Air as a presents and he passed it to me to help him set up the software on this baby!

Within the box lies MacBook Air and it tremendous logo

So far i nvr tried any MAC OS before, i have been messing with Windos for almost all my life! I also played with some Linux OS before but really never touch any MAC stuff! Maybe it is becoz it is consider quite rare for ppl using MAC OS to do normal surfing or typing document here in Malaysia!

The MAC OS X

It is like wat Job Steve did on all those Apple Products they stylish, smart looking and most of all they are WHITE! So wat so special about this MacBook Air? Lets start taking a good look at it!

This lappie is surely the slimmest and lightest right now! How thick is it i did not measure but you can see for yourself! Weight around 1kg! It is power by Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6ghz and other bla bla bla stuff! The bag that came with this lappie was also really small, it gave me the feeling of those A4 paper size file!

The spec of this laptop

The bag for the laptop

what shock me most when i open up and used it is! This lappie has no DVD room and onli come with one USB socket! This is holyshit! 1 USB socket and so many other stuff need to plug in........oh it also comes with a Bluetooth! So if you better go for a Bluetooth Mouse if you wanna safe up the USB socket for other usage! You can still go buy some USB extension to increase the amount of USB port!

Starting from left Headphone Jack, USB port and Micro DVI

There are also some features i find it good that other dun provide! The purple white light glowing from the keyboard which auto adjust by the Ambient Light Sensor next to the iSight Camera!

The middle one is the camera while the 2 small hole next to it is the light sensor


The keyboard light effect

So about DVD rom on this lappie! Since it does not come with one it allow user to share other PC DVD rom which are on the same network, so you can read all your stuff from ppl DVD rom into your MacBook Air! What a good way to solve the problem too but if your home network does not has WIFI then you will had to purchase a Ethernet to USB cable to plug in ur MacBook Air since it does not come with a Ethernet port (and there goes another USB port).

The accessories that were included in the box was Micro DVI to DVI, Micro DVI to VGA, a AC adapter (wow man MacBook used magnet to connect its plug with the Lappie), 2 MAC OS X disc and a cloth to wipe you precious MacBook!

The stuff under the laptop

The accesories that came along

I have notice few problem with this MacBook Air that i find it not done well enough (tat is beside the USB port and DVD rom issue). First the LCD screen of this lappie can flip too high, it is somehow limit to 120 degree and if you leave it on a lower table or your leg you wont get a good view on your screen!

Second, due to the enormous size battery built in this lappie, it generates a lot of heat at the place where you place your palm, making it really uncomfortable! And that is what i noticed so far! May do some update if i find some more!

Now i am trying to install the Internet Explorer into the MAC OS X which is so difficult! Curse you M$ for making ur thing so difficult to install into other OS! Why i want to do so.......damn becoz some stupid website or code can onli run under IE!

Army of Two (PS3)

This could be call a small review done by me! First i got this game on Sunday and finish it on Tuesday, estimate average gameplay time is around 1 hour for each mission (got 6 mission).

Graphics of the game is above average, and is promising enough to declare as the current gen graphic (unlike some of the FPS game tat was release recently on PS3), sound effect was also great. The AI of the game was also really challenging!

This game introduce a lot of new stuff into shooting game! First the AGGRO system where you or your partner fired at the enemy rapidly and make everyone focus on you/partner then the other can enter a near invisible mode and atk enemy from the side! If the AGGRO is full you may also enter a mode call Over Kill where the person AGGRO full will have 2 times dmg than normal while the other will become highly agile and invisible!

Second stuff we dun see in most shooting game is the Back to Back system where you and your partner stick back to back and fire at enemy coming from all direction! The motion of all enemy will enter a John Woo style slow motion and the 2 guys will have infinite ammo to shoot!

Third is the AI of the game tend to be smart and proof to be difficult to kill while playing alone! The AI will surround your character from all direction making it hard to hide from gun fire! Even worse they have good aiming skill! Dun even think of taking out all the enemy by your own it is really difficult since there are a large amount of enemy in every location!

Good thing about the your partner is it has a well written AI, it can help you distract enemy or the other way around (you distract he goes and take them out sillently). If you or your partner was shoot down in action, he becomes unmovable but can still aim and shoot at enemy surrounding him the other character will have to drag the fallen guy to a cover place and heal him up!

The weapon purchasing section is also great fun! You will enter weapon purchasing mode after each checkpoint to upgrade your gear or change you armor and face mask! A great place to waste all your hard earn money!

Overall it is a really good and challenging game! and really fun if you have a partner to play with! It is also really fun to play alone! The recruit level AI already took me down 2-3 times in certain area!

However there are some bugs that proof annoying! I encounter 2 so far, one is the screen hang in the first mission right after the back to back! The other is the most annoying one, in the last mission where I was going into the SSC HQ i enter the weapon purchasing to purchase something when i exit it I was loaded back to the part i just rescue the girl (2 mission back). I heard of some other bugs too but havent meet any yet, but they should quickly release a patch to fix all of them!

Ultra Detail Figure Snake (MGS3 ver.) - Single handed version fixed

OK i bet those that watch my previous post would know that i end up with a one-handed snake! War nvr have extend to this limit, the best was Snake lost one of his eye nvr did he lost his left hand!

So now i have 3 choices, choices no1 admit my poor luck and leave it be like tat! Choice no2 return the good to the seller, complain about the poor quality. No3 fix the thing myself. Choices 1 seem to be a stupid one, no2 seems to be impossible since I bought it overseas....., no3 is the best among all.

Decision made! Lets examine the dmg part!

Hmmm seems like this figure joint part r made of really soft material. And judging from it, it gave me the feeling that the hand can be rotated?

Now 2 options are available for me to fix him! Option 1 Super glue quick and efficient but if his original hand can rotate (which i am not sure.) after gluing it it will be impossible! Option 2 drill and pin (gunpla way), this is definitely my way!

Search for material to act as the pin! Hehe thk god i did not throw away all my gunpla runner, still have my good buddy MG Zaku v2.0 box and junks with me! I am gonna cut a small portion of my runner to do the job!

Just used some pliers to cut off a small piece of runner like the picture below:


Here comes the drill. Drills are man soul! Gattai Gurren Langaan!!!!!!!!!!! wait this have nothing to do with Gurren Langaan!


Drill holes like the pic below on the both parts


Plug the runner part cut earlier into the hole that i drill


Fixed the 2 part together and wallah Snake is back in condition! The connecting part is hardly noticeable. The operation is a success!


With his new arm, he can pose better than before! Up and down movement of its left arms is just so good!

For the price of this dude! It really has detail tat are better than those over RM150++ figures a lot! Just look at him!

A problem with this guy is his leg are small and he cant stand perfectly, a gentle shake at the table and down he goes!

Time to fool around!!! Lets have some fun with snake and his friends!

Ok lets fool around! Freeze u fur ball and loli!

Snake has no mercy! He just follow orders! Show ur patriotism!

Enchanted Arms and Ultra Detail Figure MGS3 Snake

I just receive my package from Play Asia earlier today! Got it when i was thinking that whether my stuff was on hold by Custom! Lucky it got through since the box keeping it was a bit big!

Ok the PS3 game Enchanted is just like the Virtual Fighter 5 game, a discounted item from Play Asia! I bought it along with this Ultra Detail Figure of snake which was the last remaining of the other 2 snake i wanted (Snake from MGS2 and MGS4), man this guy really sell out fast! Maybe is becoz of the hype of MGS4 announcement of launch date on 12th of June!

Enchanted Arm the box is so so only and the manual yes again black & white! For the price of RM70+- it is just darn good deal! Maybe i gonna sell the game off with the same price later when i finish it!

Snake was what i was looking forward! This figure was done by MediCom Toys and was also 1 of 5 figure from 20th Metal Gear Annversary! Play Asia and other online store seem to sell this figure really fast with the exception of Raiden and Snake Octocamo Face Mask! No one bother about them (poor Raiden does so many ppl dislike him?).

When i took out my snake with excitement and tried to slide the knife into Snake left hand something tragic happen!

OMG injured snake! WTF!!! The quality of this thing ain't as good as i thought.........what will you do if you run in situation like this? Now in my mind i am thinking of away to fix him without using super glue.......May update you guys when finish repairing him!

Lost Planet (PS3)

This is an old game if you had played it on Xbox360 or PC before, it just came out last month on the PS3......since a lot of ppl play it before i think it did not create any great news or even topic!

So since the price of MYR went up, USD went down and the beloved petroleum price continues to rise, price of these console havent got any serious price changes. But since it was some old ported game we still get to grab it at a RM140+- price!

Box-art aint any special just the same as Xbox360 and PC......manual book as usual black and white (wonder if JP version is full color or not?)....... only thing different is you get the game on a BD instead of DVD.

The game itself was just average, gameplay is some simple 3rd person shooting with some mecha and tons of giant bugs......online gameplay couldnt said much since its style of shooting doesnt really make me want to go online and shoot others.

What bothers me is that the graphics does not look like 720p, my eyes keep telling me that the pixel on the screen aren't achieving the 1280x720 standard, i can see stretch picture......maybe all this HD has cause me to have sensitve eyes.

I am playing the single player campaign now, the best fun of this game is that you get to battle giant bugs in a really huge environment. If you are really bored you may consider getting this game to kill some time!
