Special Information Updates of The World #3

Two big news:

a) Negri Sembilan won the Malaysia Cup. Woot!
b) Carrol scored. <-- Big news.

First things first:

Malaysia Cup Finals

Negeri Sembilan VS Terengganu

Match ended 2-1 to Negri's favour.

Scorers:
Negeri: Kunalan, Hairuddin Omar
Terengganu: Ashaari

Match Analysis:

It was a match fought hard. The first half was fairly uneventful, with probably more possession of the ball to Negri. The men in yellow played fluently, mimicking Barcelona's play in their own style. Terengganu tried hard and managed to get thru with a few through passes, but shots went wide.

Second half was far more interesting. Terengganu actually scored first with a beautiful through pass for Ashaari to put past the Negeri Sembilan goalkeeper. Negeri came back with a goal from Kunalan, a few feet away from the middle line, all the way through the hands of Sharbinee. Probably due to the rainy season, the field looked wet, thus the ball slippery. It was a hard mistake by the T-Team goalkeeper. Hai-O went on to score the winner in the last minutes of the game, through a wonderful scissor style
shot from a cross by Shukor.

It was a well deserved win for the men in yellow. Congratulations.

Hairuddin Omar got the title Best Player of The Malaysia Cup.

Second news: Carrol.

Liverpool F.C VS West Bromwich Albion

Half time report:

2-0 to Liverpool F.C's favour

Scorers:
Liverpool F.C: Charlie Adam (P), Andy Carrol**
West Brom: None

Match analysis (First half):

Unlike the final Malaysia Cup match, it was a very vigorous first half. Liverpool started the match with a flurry of attacks, wave by wave. West Brom put up a good fight through Odemwingie, but to no avail. Suarez, was brought down in the penalty box and thus Liverpool was given a very controversial penalty. Adam converted with no problems. Minutes later a supposed handball by one of the West Brom defender in the box was not seen: but I think this makes up to the bogey penalty earlier. :P An interception by Lucas got the ball towards Suarez who then lobbed the ball forward for a free running Carrol, merely touching the ball ever so slightly to score his second premier league goal. He is lucky to have touched the ball, but it is a goal nevertheless.

Good games by both my supported teams. May Liverpool go on forward to win the match.

Game Reviews of The World #1




Gunz Online

This Ijji game did not fail my expectations, but maybe because I already expected lowly of this game. From screenshots and videos, this game was kinda dull, boring, with a lot of acrobatic jumps and rolls. Well, I was wrong mostly, and this game was not that boring to begin with.

Gameplay
Gameplay is basically the deathmatch type, the "reset score after each match" type, although the level and money of a player is carried on forever, kills arent recorded after each match. There are two types of gameplay -Deathmatch, varying from single or team deathmatch, and -Quest, in which you have to kill lots of orcs, goblins and trolls, co-oping with other players. After reaching level 6, I played in 3 maps- and those maps were the only ones available. Now, the fight. Basically, its just like playing any FPS game, except that its in third person. The crosshair is still there though you wouldnt be using it much, because of the random shooting you would be doing. Double clicking a direction button -AWSD would cause you to make an acrobatic move towards that direction, enabling you to shoot and avoid bullets at the same time. This actually makes the game laggy and chaotic, seeing everyone jumping here and there. You can also actually run on walls and jump off walls too. After playing for about 4 sessions, I got kinda bored and moved on to another game XD. The game still intrigues me to play, but very rarely. Glitches... Tons of them. Just wiki it. Youll find ALOT of glitches, all can be used to benefit the player. As I said, random shooting would result in you killing another player with a headshot sometimes.

Graphics
The graphics in this game was not bad, nor was it good. Improvement is necessary to attract more serious gamers to try out these games.

Weapons and armor
You start with a default character, wearing a singlet (male- I dunno about the females) and some trackbottoms. No shoes. You can start with either 2 uzis, single uzi and a pistol, 2 pistols (Modern), 2 pistols (Traditional), 1 pistol of each type, all accompanied by either a katana (Uzis) or a dagger (pistols). Being a RPG style game, one can purchase better weapons and armor. After playing 4 sessions, I managed to buy a shotgun and rifle. The shotgun was quite lame in my opinion, speed is essential, and the shotgun fails big time. The rifle was more accurate than the uzis, therefore I paired them both. One can equip 2 weapons and a melee weapon. Money is easy to make, if you know how to really jump and shoot at the same time.

Menus
The starting menu was easy and straightforward- simples stuff for newbies. Very easy to navigate, very helpful, quite nice, not bad for a RPG menu. A little bit dull, but nice overall.

Story
N/A

Overall
Overall, everything was quite ok. Not too bad, not too good, more 50/50. I love the ways one can jump around, but hate the fact that it was glitchy, laggy and chaotic. Maybe by making the maximum players per game a little lower, this can all be fixed. Nice try by Ijji, looking forward to review more games from them. Bet on it.

Reccomendation
I would reccomend new players to choose the double Uzi- makes it easier for one to shoot and have some ammo ready for fighting. This game is REALLY easy to master, once you have ok-ok hand eye coordination. Jumping around makes you half invincible, but still open to damage once you start to land. I would reccomend this game to everyone. Pro to Noobs, all can play this game, and this could actually be a platform for one to jump into the wide range of FPS games in the world.

Social Updates of The World #5

A visit to the Pavilion, Bukit Bintang.

Since my school offered a week long holiday for the Deepavali celebrations, me and my family went off to probably the country's most prestigious mall- The Pavilion. Expecting to see Deepa sales, we were instead greeted with Haloween celebrations.

We first headed out to dine at the Food Republic food court. Tell you what. They serve the best kuey teow goreng and oyster omelettes there. Go taste it.

Shopping was mandatory. It IS a mall, after all. Clothes and other items, all branded, are sold everywhere in many shops. Pricy, but satisfying.

The surau was great, with a beautiful design and very cozy actually. Just the hallway towards the surau was kinda unfriendly and narrow.

Tokyo Street, located at the highest level of the mall, was our highlight of the day. For a while there, we felt as if we were back in Tokyo the last time we went there for a holiday. Very creative, and very nice. The best shop was of course, Daiso, the only shop in Malaysia which sells everything at the price of RM5. From Trucker caps to dog diapers, it is all under the same price. Some are really worth it such as my hand grip exercise tool, but some like pencils, are not worth RM5. So, be thrifty.

On the way to the carpark, we saw this very interesting kolam. It was made by a group of university students but I couldnt remember which. At the first glance it looked horrible- I dubbed it unfinished, but after looking at the instructions provided- I realised that it was a 3D kolam! Haha. I shouldnt have judged the book by its cover. Heres a picture of it.

Anyways, had a wonderful time at the center. Visit there once you have the chance. :D

Special Information Updates of The World #2

The rival battles: Liverpool VS Manchester United

Liverpool F.C VS Manchester United

Match ended 1-1.

Scorers:
Liverpool: Steven Gerrard
Manchester United: Hernandez (Chicharito)

Match Analysis:

Close match. REALLY close.

First half was very tied. Liverpool mostly dominated, but Manchester United managed to steal a few chances. A penalty should have been given for a handball against United, but was not looked upon by the ref.

Second half was a whole different story. Reina was given an early challenge, but was saved although not cleanly. A freekick following the fouling of Charlie Adam with the slightest of touches was converted into a wondergoal by Steven Gerrard, his first goal after his long injury setback. Hernandez however, drew the teams up through a corner after coming of the bench. It was a fair match, but Liverpool deserved a win for their efforts. Salutes for De Gea as well for saving an amazing shot by Adam, as well as other tries.

Almost a win. Almost.

Undilah!

The controversial video. Cant see why though. But its FTW!

Golden Palm Tree Resort, Sepang

Okay guys, Ive got it up and finished. May this review slash article be helpful to you, especially for those readying up for a holiday!

Golden Palm Tree Resort

The name fits the resort well. Literally! The resort, set at the Sepang beach, is actually made up of houses supported by columns in the sea, while forming a picture of a palm tree from a birds-eye view. Sounds fascinating? Check out whats inside!

The drive from KL took 1 hours 30 minutes. When we reached there, the beautiful beach view was already beckoning us in. We hurried to the reception counter, and was informed that the parking lot was quite far from the counter itself. This is kinda inconvenient, but to cover it, the hotel offers a 24 hour van service for transport between the car park and the counter. Pretty soon, we got into our rooms.

We were brought in a buggy, driven by hospitality. The kind bellboy did well in his job. He deserved the tip. :) We were greeted by the scent of Nipah I believe, that makes up the roof of our rooms. Made up for 4 people, it was comfortable and really cozy. The TV service was awesome!! Get a surprise when you open it. A specially made message will greet your leisure time.

The view was spectacular. The beaches, the sea. Breathtaking.

The swimming pool was also nice, but too shallow for me at 1.6m. But heck, Im a swimmer. That deep is ideal for leisure swims. You can see the mountains of Indonesia from there! Just a "Selat" away!

The food was quite to hotel standards. The usual breakfast, and usual room service dinner. It was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Its not a wonder to hear that the hotel has a 5-star rating. Id give it a 4 out of 5.

Overall
Pros:
-Great hospitality
-Breathtaking scenery
-Convinience (Did i mention it has a gym?)

Cons:
-The too usual food
-The long buffet breakfast wait
(Waited a few minutes just to get myself some fresh baked waffles. Actually this problem is caused by some people taking EXTRA slices of waffles. No Fair!!)

Great place for a holiday? Defienetely.

Sincerely,
The Babbler

Special Information Update of The World! #1

CARROL SCORED!!!

Everton F.C VS Liverpool F.C

Match ended 2-0 to Liverpool's favour.

Scorers:
Everton F.C: None
Liverpool F.C: Carrol, Suarez

Match Analysis:

After a (VERY) long wait, the time has come. Andy Carrol scored!!

First things first. First half. Few chances from either side. After a tackle on Suarez, Everton player Rodwell got a controversial red card. Few minutes later, another foul on Suarez but this time, was by Cahill inside the box. The penalty however, was saved by the Everton goalkeeper. A final try by Charlie Adam hit the bar.

Second half. Everton kept fighting with ten men and had no signs of losing. Tries after tries followed by Saha and Fellaini, but to no avail. Denther went in to add spice to Everton's game. However, a beautiful set up by Bellamy (who was put in with Gerrard to replace Adam and Downing) to Jose Enrique who then crossed over to Carrol through a dummy Kuyt managed to seperate the two teams. Later on a defensive mistake allowed Suarez to lead his team 2-0.

I just HAD to post this up! Carrol scored, and it is a BIG reason to celebrate. By the way, theres only 3 days left, so the next update would be on the 10th of October. Thanks, readers.

The Babbler
