I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

Updates stopped for this blog. Last post 20 August 2013.

This is going to be a hellish week for me. First there's a GP test on Wednesday from 2:30pm till 6pm, then there's a stupid GP package test on Thursday, and then there's a Geography test on Friday, and a Math test next Monday, which I am not going to bother about. GP package tests are stupid too. Sure, its there to make sure we read the articles given to us, but its crazy. We're supposed to copy and paste sentences from the 40-50 pages of articles into about 4 pages of fill in the blanks in about 40-50 minutes? Piece of crap.

I'm starting to begin to lean towards the idea that PC gaming is dying. Sure, its the best machine to play on, due to its amazing functionality (I mean, what game can't you play smoothly on a PC?). Need a gamepad? Attach it to the computer. Need a steering wheel? Attach it to the computer. Keyboard? Check. Mouse? Check. Do things other then play? Yep.

But for some reason or another, the PC gaming scene is rather low on good games this year, if you've noticed. Other than games like Diablo III and Starcraft 2, which are games made by Blizzard, who has never made games for a platform other than the PC, there are less than 5 games that we PC gamers can look forward to.

On the other hand, at the PS3 and Xbox 360 scene, especially during the E3, games are popping up everywhere for them. Oh this game is good, that game is good. This is going to be the most highly anticipated game of 2008. What are all these praises for? Console games.

The last time I heard news about a console game? Today. The last time I heard news about a PC game? A few weeks ago.

Back to my Singapore thingy issue.

I've been pointing out many bad points about the Singapore government for the past 2 posts, but honestly, I don't think there is much we can or should do about it. Singapore is the richest country in South East Asia, and we owe it all to LKY. If any member of the opposition party took over, I cannot confidently say that they'll be able to bring Singapore to such levels of development. Sure, they might bring us free speech and some real democracy, but they might not be able to bring us the standard of living we have today.

Besides, LKY is a smart and cunning guy. Its going to take a lot of knock him off the government.

Man, my level of typing had detoriorated. I can't seem to type a sentence without fumbling one way or another. Must be due to the fact that I'm using the computer a lot less than before.
