Games, Games, Games

This post is all about games. If you haven't played any game before reading this post, please scroll to the bottom of this blog and scroll up again. It is quite fun, almost like a game (but not a game).

Some of us like to visit websites about games to see release dates, launch events and game reviews. Some of the sites include gametrailer.com, gamespot.com and gamefaq.com. The last two of the examples are damn funny. Every time I read them out loud, I laugh.

Here is why:



I mean, come on, it's gamefag.com. The word "fag" is there :D

Many game titles are lame. Some of them are bad titles; not making sense to the consumer. Some of them are too long. Some of them are in Chinese characters, and some of them in foreign language which I can't recognize.

1) Dead or Alive

Dead or alive is actually... ... ...a fighting game. Does the word "dead" or "alive" or even "or" say anything about fighting games? Of course not. Dead is when a person dies. Alive is when the person who died stand up. In this fighting game, the girls are in the spotlight. Their breasts oh-my-son-of-mother can move individually like jelly (not Pug Jelly, the local band). If you're interested, go to Youtube and search. This blog will not publish anything that cannot be read by a toddler. Just kidding.




2) Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam


Yes, it's true. They repeated the word gundam THREE times in their title. And worst still, it looks as if gundam is fighting with..gundam. Gundam itself is stupid. Break the word up into two and you get "Gun" and "damn". Damn it.

Okay, let me try to make some close examples to why this game's name suck.

a) Cinderella Fighting Queen: Queen vs. More Queens

b) PowerPuffGirls and Mojo Jojo: Jo jo jo jo jo jo jo

c) Dead or Alive: Are you Dead or Alive?

3) Death by Dying

Erm. What did you say?

Come on, we all know that the only way you die is through dying. Anything before death is dying. Even when you are hit by a speeding lorry and you're bleeding on the road with twenty people staring at you taking pictures and planning to send it to stomp.sg, you are technically dying.

It is the same if you say: "Jump by Jumping" or "Doing homework by doing homework".

This kind of title makes consumers feel stupid. Seriously.

The average consumer's conversation:

Consumer: Is this death by dying, the number one game in Singapore?
Owner: Yes and you're pointing at the game's title and you're repeating the game's title to me, a person who owned the game for three months already. Aren't you asking a dumb question?
Consumer: So, what is this game about?
Owner: (trying very hard to make the consumer feel stupid) Oh, in this game, a person who died was found to die through the act of dying.

Gaming to me is important even though I only completed a few games since I was born. I didn't even complete Pokemon Yellow because the Elite four was too time-consuming to fight with. That is one reason why I don't like RPGs (Role Playing Games) such as World of Crap. I love playing third person shooters and they make up the bulk of my gaming time. My favourite game is Gunz. My favourite food is Chicken Rice. I don't know why I am telling you this.

Total Defence Day

Wikipedia:

Total Defence (Chinese: 全民防卫; Malay: Pertahanan Mutlak; Tamil: --) is a concept introduced by the government of Singapore in 1984 to improve readiness in matters related to the defence and national security of Singapore, and is partly based on similar concepts in Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden. In fact, the concept has very close similarities (including the “five aspects of Total Defence”, discussed below) to the 1972 adopted Total Defence concept in Austria. This concept rests on the notion that the defence of the country cannot rely only on the regular armed forces. Thus the concept declares that government agencies, private sector organisations and all Singaporeans are to be involved in an effort to deal with security threats facing Singapore. It can be compared to the concept of total war.

Total Defence is a concept where people are to defend totally.

Total Defence Day was on February 15 this year, quite a long time ago. Many schools participated in it and many pupils had much fun with the programmes that they organised.


Primary schools adopted the "Pupil-soldier Integration ProgrammE" aka PIPE. In this programme, 3 pupils from every class was sent to Afghanistan to participate in the counter-terrorism effort.

Voluntary Enlistment.

They were given Sar-21s to combat against the terrorists. This is an interview with one of the pupils:

Me: How was the trip to Afghanistan?
Pupil: It was fun, bullets ricochet around the terrain and one of my friends was hit by a bullet.
Me: So what happened to him?
Pupil: He died.

Not only that, kindergarten pupils were given crayons and drawing papers and were asked to draw pictures of Saddam Hussein and rifles. Prisoners from the middle east was brought into the classroom where they gave a speech that really inspired the pupils..


"Many people have died from these attacks, they are innocent by-standers doing their usually stuff - eating, drinking, walking and reading books. The books were named 'harry potter' and it speaks about a wizard whose forehead had a scar. The scar is coloured red and blue. The scar is quite big, as big as a snail. This scar resembled terrorism."


Jay Chou had a concert in Singapore two months ago. It was cancelled because of terrorism.

Secondary schools students were sent to Iraq to interview Osama Bin Laden, who have successfully hid in a female toilet for 3 years and 4 months. In the interview, one of the secondary school student was kidnapped but his parents were told that the he is in safe hands and is living in Hotel 81 with three other soldiers.

A real life attack simulation was held at Boon Lay MRT. The operation was called Operation Northstar. A bomb was placed in a briefcase and was exploded in front of a "chio bu". Many boys criticised the operation, life sucks for them.

Boys from the schools were given an intro to army life.

"We use Counterstrike to simulate a REAL LIFE attack scene in an urban setting."

"We use Barbie dolls to motivate the soldiers."

"We do not use guns, we simply throw the bullets with our hands."

"Our GPS guiding system that controls air units is actually a PSP."

"Our ships can float."
