I went to the Grand Cathay on Tuesday to watch Ratatouille. I've never been a person who disliked cartoons or a person who says it for kids or its stupid. So while everyone goes around saying Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., blah blah is stupid, I just wonder to myself why. There's nothing wrong with them. They all have a wonderful storyline, they're all wonderfully voiced, they're all beautifully animated and designed. Its not like they really treat the watchers like they're kids, it just holds back on the violence and crudeness.

Anyway, Ratatouille isn't at all like any other previous animations made. We all know that Ong Sor Fern gives really strict reviews on movies. It got a 5/5 from her. Does it really deserve it? I have to say, yes. There's never a long and boring part in the show. Every second keeps you hooked and engaged on the show. Its really funny too. If you haven't watched this yet, go watch it. Its worth it. I won't say anything more.

After the movie, we (there are 3 of us) were deciding whether to play LAN or go play board games at Mind Cafe. When we reached Mind Cafe, it hadn't opened yet so we went to look at the games the LAN shops had. The variety of games is bad and we decided to wait another 15 minutes for Mind Cafe to open. Then there was this bunch of preschool kids waiting outside Mind Cafe, and apparently there's a "company event from 2-6" and we can't play.

LAN is a waste of money in my opinion, but heck. We decided on playing Battlefield 2142, but the guy manning the shop lied to us about having the game. So we had to play Counter Strike 1.6. First, the keyboard on my computer couldn't seem to make me run diagonally. So I had to walk one direction at a time. I got owned as a result. Then I changed computers. But we decided to play a sniping map. Sniping is my worst aspect of FPS games, so I got owned again. I have no idea how sniping in Counter Strike works, I shoot my enemy right in the torso (the red dot right smack in him) more than 10 times and he doesn't die.

I guess Soldier of Fortune 2 is still my forte. I can snipe with an AK-74 (not 47) there. The damage guns do in Half-life 2 is practically non-existent, and the bullet spread in Counter Strike is nuts no matter what I do (shoot and hold, shoot in bursts). I own with a shotgun though.

Then I saw some really cheap computers at Carrefour. I expected computers at that kind of specifications to be at least $2000. But wow, Intel Dual Core 1.8 GHz, 1GB RAM (bad), and some GeForce card with 1GB Turbocache, 100+GB HDD Acer laptop at $1300? Looks like there's hope for me.

Here's a good insight on Assassin's Creed.
