Fallout: New Vegas is Really a J-Horror Game In Disguise

Some SOB left me for dead and when I woke up, that *thing* was sitting right in front of me. Here I thought I was buying into a CRPG but I was wrong. Sweet Jesus above, my mission must be to rid the Wasteland of the unnatural abominations that infest it! Starting with Uzumaki neck over there....

Wait... I was here for days now... does that mean I have become one of THEM?!

Tools and Toons

What happens when you leave your tools lying around and bring lots of soft toys to work?

Remember Work Place Safety.

(Wonders of blu-tab, mallet and soft toys)

Not so sure why people love to bring soft toys and display them at work. You never know what could happen to them especially when tools are lying around and mischevious engineers who are on a friday mood high...

And Now, A Quick Word From Our Sponsors

To make up for the recent lack of Down Under posts, here's a few photos. The first two show what I'm usually up to while on campus.

I must be mad posting the last photo. The moment I return to Singapore, CatNRice will descend upon me and extract the essence of Bundaberg from my blood.

The Hunter and the Hare

This is a story told to many children to discourage that laziness will get you nowhere.

Long time ago, there was a hunter. Once day he saw a rabbit run into a tree and died on the spot. Amused by his luck he thought, if a rabbit run into the tree each day, I will never need to hunt again! So happily he gathered the carcass home.

The next day he sat at the same location waiting for another rabbit to run into the tree. Unfortunately we all know what didn't happen.



Anyway just took this amusing photo as I make my way to ECP today. Apparently some hare was late and was looking for its hunter.

Play Beyond

An advertisement is ostensibly created with the singular goal of promoting a product, service or business. Its entire purpose is to increase revenue for someone and yet, strange things emerge from advertising firms that make you wonder when they came into the grip of the Devil.

For example this advertisement for the Sony PS3:



There are some unfortunate conclusions that one can draw from watching this ad:

1) The forces of hell itself are so pleased with the PS3 that they must manifest themselves into a generic Chucky simulacrum to express their delight.

2) The PS3 will cause all of the human-like objects in your house to be possessed by evil spirits. Come to think of it there is such a superstition in Japan where this ad comes from which is why dolls have rituals to placate them before they are destroyed. Extra bonus points for using something especially terrifying to your target audience.

3) This is your afterlife after you mortgaged your soul to pay for that PS3 with its notoriously high launch price. You. In an empty room. Trapped in that doll. With a non-functional PS3. FOREVER.

4) The PS3 will drive you stark, raving, gibbering bonkers. First childlike joy. Then sensory overload. Followed by despair when it consumes your life which is eventually supplanted by ennui as the stimulation of the PS3 makes you uncaring that you have lost your job, friends and family. Finally as the enormity of your folly hits you and drives you past those shimmering horizons of desolation, a regression to infantile behaviour.
