We’ve been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what’s wrong?
Seems you don’t want me around
The passion is gone and the flame’s died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I’m the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the brakes on my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don’t love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You’re still the light of my life
Oh darling, I’m beggin’, won’t you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it’s kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down the elevator shaft

Oh, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don’t love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think I’m ugly and you say I’m cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn’t like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don’t love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don’t love me anymore

Well, not so long ago I heard that Street Fighter IV, the latest series of this game is going to be released on PC. WoW, I was quite surprised. Having been a PC gamer for so long I know that there aren’t many fighting game for PC, especially nowadays. So, I guess it’s worth the shot

I finally had my hands on it about a week ago. The graphic is very very beatifully done, especially if you compare it with the SNES version But… I feel like I don’t have the right to give much comments on the graphic side. My computer isn’t well equipped for new games, so I have to set down most of the graphical enhancement options to be able to play it with playable speed

Anyway, I’ve been playing it for a while and it sure brings back the memory. As most of all the SF series, we can find all the classic SF characters in this game, plus other characters that sums up to 25 in total. The gameplay is classic, hey, it’s a 2D fighting game in a 3D era, what would you expect? They gave you the original special move, and 2 combo meters that allow you to perform 2 kind of super special attack for each character. It supports online feature using Microsoft Games for Windows – Live. I think it’s cool that we can fight anyone in the world anytime… But I haven’t try it, yet. Well.. I’m not sure if I will (or if I can), I feel a bit guilty for getting the pirated version of this game (shhh….) The worst part for me is the movie for each character story. I was hoping to get the same beatiful movie as the intro played before the game but instead it’s just plain anime, so not cool.

As closure, I would say this is a fun game. Great alternative if you want a fighting game in your PC. Who knows, it might help you control yourself when you feel like beating up someone hehe

Pengalaman mengajarkan saya bahwa peran data sangat penting dalam kita melakukan analisa dan mengambil kesimpulan/keputusan. Contohnya, dengan menganalisa data di atas kita bisa menyimpulkan kecenderungan saya dalam mendengarkan musik. Kesimpulan ini akhirnya bisa membantu teman2 memutuskan CD lagu apa yg akan dibelikan buat saya.

hehehe kan udah gw bilang, ini posting ga penting

Gamepad Xbox 360 ini ada 2 versi, yaitu wired (dengan kabel) dan wireless (tanpa kabel). Keduanya dapat digunakan dengan Sistem Operasi Windows (minimal XP SP1, kalau Vista sudah pasti ok). Perbedaan kedua versi ini saya rasa sudah sangat jelas Sementara dari segi harga tentu saja wireless lebih mahal. Tapi dari pengalaman saya mencari barang ini di toko-toko lokal (denpasar), versi wired jauh lebih susah didapatkan. Saya sendiri akhirnya beli yang wired, karena lebih murah, tidak repot urus beterenya dan saya juga merasa belum perlu fitur wireless saat ini.

Berikut link untuk informasi lebih rinci dari situs resmi microsoft mengenai gamepad Xbox 360 untuk PC (versi wired):

• Informasi Umum
• Daftar Fitur yang lengkap
• Perbandingan Harga di beberapa website

atau klik di sini untuk informasi resmi versi wireless

Saya sendiri baru pakai gamepad ini sekitar 2 bulan. Beberapa gim yang sudah saya coba mainkan menggunakan gamepad ini ialah Fallout 3, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, Spiderman: Web of Shadows dan Prince of Persia (2008). Pastinya maen jadi lebih asyik daripada pake keyboard-mouse atau gamepad standard.

Sekedar sharing dari pengalaman, berikut beberapa alasan kenapa gamepad ini sangat layak untuk menemani kita bermain:

1. Banyak gim PC yang diadaptasi dari konsol Xbox 360, sehingga memang lebih cocok dimainkan dengan gamepad Xbox 360 juga
2. Presisi analog yang akurat dan stabil bila dibandingkan gamepad standard
3. Fitur getar yang bikin kita lebih merasakan momen2 menarik
4. Menghindari sakit bahu atau pergelangan tangan yang sering terasa bila bermain dengan keyboard-mouse dalam waktu yang cukup lama

Mengenai harga, memang lumayan mahal bila dibandingkan dengan harga gamepad standard. Gamepad Xbox 360 ini bisa dijual dari harga 300-500 ribu. Jadi, silahkan di pikir-pikir dan putuskan

Once in a while Maybe you will feel the urge.
To break international copyright law
By downloading mp3s From file sharing sites
Like Morpheus, or Grokster, or LimeWire, or Kazaa.
But deep in your Heart You know the guilt would drive you mad
And the shame would leave a permanent scar
Cause you start out stealing songs Then you’re robbing liquor stores
And selling Crack And running over school kids with your car

[Chorus]
So Don’t Download This Song
The record store is where you belong
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh Don’t Download This Song

Oh you don’t want to mess With the R I Double A
They’ll sue you if you burn that CD-R.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a grandma Or a seven year old girl
They’ll treat you like the evil Hard-bitten criminal scum you are

[Chorus]
So Don’t Download This Song (don’t go)
Pirating music all day long
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh Don’t Download This Song

Don’t take away money From artists just like me
How else can I afford another solid gold Hum V
And diamond studded swimming pools These things don’t grow on trees
So all I ask is everybody Please

[Chorus]
Don’t Download This Song (Don’t do it No No)
Even Lars Urlich Know it’s wrong (You could just ask him)
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (You Really Should)
Oh Don’t Download This Song

Don’t Download This Song (Oh please don’t you do it or you)
Might Wind up in Jail like Tommy Chong (Remember Tommy)
Go and buy the CD (Right Now) like you know that you should (Go out and Buy it)
Oh Don’t Download This Song.

Don’t Download This Song (No no no no no no)
Or you’ll burn in hell before to long (And you deserve it)
Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (You cheap bastard)

Lirik di atas ialah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Weird Al Yankovic, seorang penyanyi komedian (atau komedian penyanyi ) dari Amerika sana. Yah, saya memang suka dengan hal-hal yang bisa menghibur hati. Makanya dari pertama saya kenal lagu2 Al di SMU dulu saya langsung suka. Kalau diumpamakan mungkin artis indonesianya itu seperti Padhyangan atau Project Pop. Dan tentunya saya juga suka mereka

Memang lagu dengan tema cinta baik yang penuh keindahan sampai kesedihan selalu menjadi pilihan utama banyak orang. Bahkan sekarang di Indonesia semakin populer tema cinta berkasus. Hehe, kalau ini sih istilah saya sendiri saja. Saya sendiri juga suka ko, apalagi bila untaian nada dari lagu itu memang memikat.

Yah, tapi ada saat-saat dimana kita membutuhkan lagu sebagai penghibur hati. Dan saya percaya itu lebih baik daripada mendengarkan lagu-lagu yang mungkin sesuai dengan suasana hati kita, tapi justru membawa kita semakin tenggelam dalam kesedihan dan kekecewaan tak berujung. Jadi, saya sarankan buat teman-teman milikilah lagu2 penghibur hati dalam koleksi lagu kalian, mp3, cda, kaset, apapun formatnya. Kita tidak tahu kapan kita akan membutuhkannya. Seperti kata para pendahulu kita, mari sedia payung sebelum hujan (^_^) hohoho….

Sedikit informasi tambahan:

• Lirik lagu ini saya copy dari azlyrics.
• Yang mau denger lagunya bisa di play di music.download.com
• Pengen lihat video klipnya? Bisa di tonton di mtvmusic.com (saya sendiri jg blom liat)
• Ironisnya, saya dapatkan lagu ini dari mendownload di internet hahahaha

Charlie Crews was a by-the-book cop. He had a nice life, a beautiful wife and was living a decent life just looking forward for his pension. Well, that was until he was pinned off to a tripple murder. He was sentenced to life in a maximum security prison. Nobody believed in him, his friends forgot him and his wife divorced him. While in prison, he had almost all of the bones of his body broken and received hundreds of itches. Wait, you haven’t heard the best part yet, he did not commit those murders. It took 12 years until his lawyer reopen the case and prove him innosence with DNA evidence.

Now tell me, what do you think you’ld be after living 12 years in prison for a crime you never commit? Well, Charlie spent his times learning zen to keep all his senses well while living through “hell” and he came out becoming a zen philosopher. So shortly after his released, he received a disclosed number of settlement money and an assignment as a detective in LAPD. So this is where the story begin, this is where his Life is really begin.

It’s very interesting to see how he interact with others. His new boss, new partner, ex-wife, old friends, people who keep seeing him guilty, or maybe… even the real killer (^_^) Anyway, this series would be a good company of one of your long weekend.

Clicking the link led me to a forum which share images of a translated comic (it’s in Bahasa). I read it page by page, and WoW, I was tottaly amazed, It’s a very great ending from a very great story. Then, some things bothered me. Some of the image quality isn’t as good as usual, and the comic block is too rigid. So I started to google around. Well, I found out in most forums, many people believe that this is the last episode of doraemon, and some even question why it has never been published here in Indonesia, and worst, some even blame that the publisher do it on purpose.

Like I said, I’m here to share what I know. Doraemon is created by a very talented manga artist Hiroshi Fujimoto or whom we know as Fujiko F Fujio. A bit detail about this mangaka, there use to be Fujio Fujio, the pen name of the great mangaka duo, Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko. They started their career as mangaka together. After some time, each of them begin to work at his own manga. Fujimoto then use the name Fujiko F Fujio, and Abiko use the name Fujio Fujio (A).

Back to the topic about Doraemon, there are a few episodes in the series where Doraemon has to return to the future. Actually we could see them as the ending of the story, if they were made as the last episode (^_^) But since the series still continue with more stories, we don’t consider those episodes as endings. And… Fujimoto died before having the chance to decide the ending for Doraemon series. So, Doraemon is considered as series with no ending. But, there are 3 most often quoted urban legends of Doraemon ending. And one of them is the one I read and which you can download at the bottom of this post.

So to make it clear, there are NO official ending of Doraemon Series. The manga you can download below is a doujin, and was translated to Bahasa by someone. However, I personally believe that even Fujimoto Sensei would love this ending

I’m not really sure that the term Indonesian Manga is correct, but let’s just use it for now. Anyway, while I was standing in front of the new released shelf, having my eyes around the books, I recognized 3 of my collections. I picked them up without hesitation. Next, I had my 2nd look at the same shelf (I could repeat this 3 to 10 times just to satisfy my self ). This time, my eyes stopped at a new Indonesian manga, Bounty Hunter Zero. I picked it up and read the preview at the back of the book. Hm…, it doesn’t explain much. I tried to seek the number ’1′ to know if it’s a one shot or not. Didn’t find it anywhere, though. Well, I think the cover looks good, and I like the cute characters in it. Then I put it back on the shelf. I walked around the store for a while, and went to the cashier. It’s a good thing they put it beside the new released shelf. I had my 2nd thought, took a glance look at the new Indonesian manga, and finally picked and handed it to the cashier.

I’ve bought some other Indonesian mangas before, but most are from komikers. Well, this one was done by other team, they name them self Diamante Studio. I’m not sure what it means, and honestly, I never heard of them before.

Anyway, back to the New Indonesian Manga, Bounty Hunter Zero, I read it as I got home. I examine the cover image again, and I found that I don’t really like the title font and the pink chessboard background. Well, I open the plactic cover and begin to read it. My first Impression on the first few pages is, hm… the drawing is not as good as the pro (yet), but it’s nice, I like the style. After a few more pages, I found the story is also not as powerful as the pro (yet), but I like it, too. I stopped in the middle of it for something and read it back till finish. My overall impression, I enjoy both the story and the drawing. But I do believe they will develop more skills and produce even better. I’ll be waiting for their next release. One more thing, after I visited their homepage, I found them saying that Bounty Hunter Zero should have 7 volumes. Well, when I check the cover again, I found their cute mascot holding a clock showing hour 1. I wonder if this means number 1. I suggest to at least print this number at the side view.

Keep up the great works, guys! And made us more mangas (^_^) Btw, I hope you guys didn’t mind about me using your images here.

Jack Sparrow, once again teamed up a great trio with Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. This time supported by other 2 Pirate Captains, Barbossa and Sao Feng (A really great appeareance by Chow Yun Fat as another asian movie star in Holywood). My impression is, despite of its lack of answers in some parts of this movie (I think some points are meaningless), in overall, this movie has really worth the wait. We experienced quite a great pirate-sphere in about 2 and a half hour duration.

As usual, don’t hope for any detail review of the movie from me, I don’t do that :p Instead, I have things I like to share. Well Actually, I’ve almost given up the sharing, It’s just too Pirate! What would you expect to learn from them? But then again, I guess pirates are flesh anyway. Here are some some things I could end up with:

1. Love n Friendship

   There’s always a place for love and friendship in one’s heart. Doesn’t matter how evil a man could be, how sadist a villain could have become, how hard oneself would try to deny it, it’s there.

2. Friends are Friends

   Well, we’re not a friend other could always rely on, sometimes our ego swim up to surface, sometimes we might even betray our friends to save our own life. We might make bad decisions in worst conditions, but friends are friends. Don’t remove any name from your friend list easily, give them a chance, their next act might suprise you (in a good way I hope).

3. Number does Matter

   I can’t disagree that quality is much more important than quantity. But that never mean we should forget about quantity. Quality is 1st priority and quantity comes next. Just because you’re so good in something, it doesn’t mean you should do it alone. Gather up, team up and gain more.

4. All is Fair in Love n War

   Ever heard of it before? Despite of all the good sides I’ve mentioned, let’s not put our awareness down. This is a hard world afterall, we shouldn’t be so naive. There are people who wouldn’t need to think twice to kick your back, just beware (^_^)

Gah! I guess that’s just it. I’m sure I didn’t spoil anything, did I? Enjoy the movie!
