Stuff I Surprisingly Don't Miss From Australia

Since chewxy took the liberty of blogging about things he misses from Australia, I thought I'd talk about what I surprising don't miss from Australia. 1. My dual monitor setup - despite having lived with a dual screen set up for what must have been the better part of a year (a 22" monitor at that, here I only have a 17"). I think, however, this is because I haven't been doing much work - as in audio editing, video editing, script editing, text editing, website editing, assignment editing or whatever other task I usually do in Australia but not here in Malaysia where I just play a hell of a lot.

2. My huge table - again, probably because I don't do much work. There I have this table that can hold my laptop, my monitor, several books all while still having my stationery and space to move my monitor around.

3. Cheese - there I eat quite an amount of Coon Tasty cheese - about 12 slices every two weeks, I think. (in weeks because that's how often I do my shopping) Here, I couldn't care less about cheese. Maybe it's all the good Malaysian food.

4. DDR - actually, I did miss it for a while, but now the, um, withdrawal symptoms are gone. No doubt that once I get back the parking basement is going to get a little noisy again. :P

5. My internet connection - I have 1.5Mbps there, but only 512kbps here. While TMnet is unreliable, it's still much better than it was this time last year - and as long as I can still surf, MSN, YouTube and the occasional HD trailer, I ain't gonna complain about what I would call pretty damn good internet.

Random War

I've suddenly gone back to thinking about the Fantasy of War again. I wonder if any of it might parallel the information in my false memories.

Call of Duty 4 Completed

Yeah, I know I'm slow with finishing games, but I've finally finished Call of Duty 4's single player mode. It's short and it's fun. It looks and runs great, the story is simple and entertaining. I have no doubt multiplayer will be bloody fun. Gameplay is solid - besides the few run-ins with the infinite spawn business. The stealth/sniper level felt very scripted, but I'm all for an easier nicer looking game. The AC-130 minigame of sorts? Perfect. Off I am to go finish another few games. I'm currently playing Grim Grimoire, God of War, Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon. Hopefully I'll finish them before I get back to Australia.
