Late Nyt Love Post Part 2 "A true guy will not risk making her cry"

2012-01-05T23:16:00.000Z

There is this one post that many people keep mentioning to me. A lot of people want to know what happend with that late nyt love story. This post right here is the sequel you've all been waiting for but unlike a novel, this is nothing but true to the heart entry. In addition, I just want to say thank you to faith plus destiny and religion combined for the whole experience.

I want to begin with a quote:
“It takes a second to notice some one, An hour to like some one, A day to fall in love with some one, And a life time to forget them.” - Brittney Shea

Perhaps this quote describes how the events unfolded, it was a like that turned love that ended in a mission of trying to forget. However, I relate to this because much like the quote - a day with her that was months and months ago was what set my world around. It took seconds to formulate a greet that became a date and it turned into a quest of trying to be as best as I can be. I could argue that my best self is not enough to meet the social norm she is accustomed to but as I tried I realized, I needed to know who I am first. Also, Some may also argue that, I should move on - idealy searching for someone who values you for who you are.

There's a major flaw in peoples advice. Every single one of them voted to move on. Not one person said, I believe in you. You can do it. Instead, the advice was pretty much useless and I succumbed to procrastination and sometimes I would wake up in the morning and think to myself that I should sprint to her doorstep and say how I feel. Another flaw in the advice is to say she does not value me - I have the utmost respect for her because how she remains to be a friend amidst all the sticky drama.

Much like this quote...
"Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds"
-William Shakespeare

This roughly translates into: Love is not true love when it changes when it finds a change in circumstances. This is a very relatable quote because for me what I value the most is that people give me a chance to show who I am before they judge me. That quote also talks about changing situations... All this time she's nothing short of a friend - this is why I want to apologize for making the mistake of trying to move on when actually it feels just perfect when we are friends that have fun together. The friendship is what carries this encounter to a whole new level. It's not pain or suffering - it's joy in knowing that you are there for her no matter what relationship you are having.

I learnt to become more mature because of experiences in life lately and everyones words made me a better person because I believed in myself and I was wrong about her. She is only seemingly hot-headed or not so very mannered because she wants to protect herself. Knowing more now, I understand as she can or could have been through a lot of things. I am very willing to accept where I landed in society because I know that she acknowledges I'm there - and me myself and I being thrilled to simply see her happy is a prospect that I'm sure all guys would wanna see with the girl they like.

It is equally true that I did not say to her how I feel, this means that I never received any official answers. What if she said yes? I hear you ask - it is always a matter of being mature and not stupid. As we grow older we learn and I can definitely support the idea of making decisions appropriately. As time passes it was more evident that I was no longer having the intent of dating her, instead I changed into just being myself thanks to an event a few weeks ago which made me truly discover i am. Before I get sidetracked, I basically found myself where I accepted who I am and dropped my continuous questioning. Because of this - I was able to just be who I am and not worry about perception and the ever changing society norms. This meant that I was able to become my teenage happy medium. A fearless self-expression. Confidence.

"Tyrone what's with all the quotes?" It's a metaphor of how everyone interprets something into their own understanding. I was trying to relate myself so much that I lost who I am and once I found who I was, we fell into the perfect place. I dropped the theme of me chasing her, me trying to date her and me trying to impress her. I just turned up one day as the blogger and surfer that I am and now She finally knows who I am and the guy who she first met carrying a skateboard is non-existent. In turn, we became and still is friends. It's the formula that makes her smile and the ending I hoped for. She's accepted me for who I really am.

"Love is friendship set on fire"

Jeremy Taylor wrote the quote above and I want to say that he is absolutely correct. When your friendship reaches peak, you may or may not work out romantically but your shared memories will always be there. A fire is a risk of destruction but also a friend of nature and survival. There's no denying that whilst many believe I should declare - I say that: I now know where I belong, it's simply as her friend and working together in missions. We often blame many things but I don't have any regrets on how events have turned out because

...a true guy does not have intentions, a true guy will not risk making her cry and a true guy will always give her a piggy back when she asks for one.

Christmas presents were none, today got new shoes instead xD

2011-12-30T18:31:00.001Z

Slowly, 2012 is approaching - so I decided to go shopping with my dear mother today just to kill some time. In some way, I did not plan to buy anything in particular and then I realised the converse was due for some replacement. I was about to buy some black converse. again. Lol. Yes, this was about to be my 4th or 5th? classic converse but since number 7 was out of stock, I got two new shoes instead.

Thank you dad

Cornwall Holiday - National Seal Sanctuary, St Michaels mount, Land's End and Cornish Ice Cream

2011-12-27T17:27:00.000Z

Back in Spring 2011, I got the chance to go to Cornwall, the prices there are expensive despite being a six hour drive from London. I would assume the more "countryside" you go the cheaper. We had a tour of the National Seal Sanctuary there, some authentic gardens, bird parks, St Michaels mount, had a taste of cornish ice cream - TASTES NICE - also went to Land's End which is the final bit of soil at the very tip of England. The next soil (if you attempt to swim it) is gonna be New York USA.

Last the Beach - not too bad there :)

Slice of Life - the new official Smile250 genre!

2011-12-25T15:00:00.000Z

It's a complicated topic explaining to someone what Smile250 is now and what the least 4 years of this blog has become.

There's been ups and downs along the way - multiple attempts of new things, life problems, teenage issues, school work, laziness and events but one thing remains the same. Smile250 is a blog about life - it's like a collaboration of everything that goes in-between te and en. its craziness personified and thanks to the manga genre, I've found the perfect category for Smile250.

Starting Today the official genre of Smile250 is "Slice of Life".

Look Forward to this new focus about college life!

Starhawk Multiplayer Beta Impressions - Smile250 - LightBox Interactive - Sony PS3

2011-11-30T18:40:00.001Z

First, thanks to Sony for sending me a beta invite. In writing this article - the game is based on the 1.02-1.04 Private Beta versions.

Starhawk is the spiritual successor to Incognito Entertainment's Warhawk. Now the renamed studio "LightBox Interactive" in partnership with Santa Monica studios promises yet another large scale explosion fest with infantry combat, vehicles and mechs and dog-fighting.This impressions is solely based on the multiplayer of Starhawk and going into this beta I had plenty of complaints because I played StarHawk last September at EuroGamer expo 2011 and it was very mediocre. I have high expectations from Starhawk because I for one spent countless hours on Warhawk - approximately 500 hours or so. literally. check my PSN profile if you dont believe me. It's a possible reason why Sony might have invited me in this Beta.

Thankfully, the multiplayer beta is great. Featuring 16 players on two small maps to battle it out in CTF. The game runs smoothly in terms frame rate, the visuals feel much improved from the last build in september and the crumbling debris from buildings when they explode is a nice touch. The third person camera is much closer than Warhawk - this means that, its harder to see what's around you and have to play in a typically third person style rather than the arcade approach of Warhawk. Visually, the game is fair, the colours of rift blue, turret red and acid green are a easy on the eyes.

The shotgun is over-powered in range, the maps feel empty and the new hawks don't control as slick as the Warhawks. I hope they make adjustments with the hawks controls and the mech mode means the hawks are not over-powered on the ground. The mechs are sluggish and the lack of tanks makes the game a little empty. There are also no signs of a repair wrench, flame throwers and airstrikes. The sniper feels odd at the moment and the removal of health-bar means theres no need for a biofield. Teamplay is still very important and the new rift currency means theres no unlimited supply of weapons, hawks or jetpacks. This balance is great for the warring factions and since everything costs money, the style of each fight varies in the tendencies of each time.

The game is very reminiscent of Warhawk but you'd be very surprised on how much the game changes with Build and battle - each building costs certain rift energy cores which regenerates when your in your base. From there the whole team is task with CTF while limited to a 32 building limit. This means co-ordination in a must and the balance of offence and defence is required. The tactics in play means the battlefield is customizable, it also means no enemy bases are similar. it also means bad team-mates will consume your limit with useless buildings. All in all, This makes room for a variety of gameplay situation.

Weapons and vehicles now come from buildings so it takes time to set up a base, turrets and bubble shields also make an appearance but most importantly jetpacks return and they are still as useful as ever. The intensity of the fight never dips and the combat is fun. The unlimited sprint is useful but the melee is over-powered therefore, running and knifing with R3 in tight areas is actually possible. The buildings take time to destroy particularly walls but some like turrets are cake. Also the beam of your turret has been balanced to be weak with buildings, plus the spawning in pods from mid-air ala Section 8 just makes is slow ass respawn and the game can feel a chore to set up. You have to play smart as everything costs rift and the game is great at giving you the tools you need to create your own maps configurations in real time. (Build and Battle)

The game so far looks and sounds fine, the characters and weapons feel uninspired, the maps are a little too empty, the lack of tanks also remove some fun. The gameplay needs tweaks and Im hoping plenty of additions come in the full game. The beta's strength is the build and battle, but there are LOTS improvements to be made...at least the team certainly is heading in the right direction.

Charming? Cute? I'm none of the above. Teenage College Post Smile250

2011-11-23T00:01:00.000Z

"I'm a half-baked person"
I don't roll with plaid shirts, light brown trousers, big glasses and branded backwards cap. Neither do I sport Black skinny jeans with vans ...I'm also not your tall Asian guy with chinky eyes and broad shoulder with the long fringe and lots of money.

See I'm just Tyrone. That's my phrase because i don't have affiliations with groups, my fashion sense is basic - its just hoodie and jeans and as for who i am, I just go with the flow, positive and living life. There's no tricks to me.

Charming? Cute? I'm none of the above. Basically, I'm not like the guy next door. I've got less care for trends and hence I'm not stylish. I'm nowhere near fit and I can't seem to justiy who I really am. In context, It's just a waste of time to even try now a days. I fail at the half stage because there's Nothing special about me.

I'm telling ya, I'm a blogger,
skater and surfer, I love food and video games - I hate school and I absolutely adore you xP if there's one thing that sets me apart is that I hope you give me a chance to at least get to know you before anything else =)

"Attached to someone out of your league" Late Nyt Love Post Smile250

2011-11-21T00:06:00.000Z

It's another Late Nyt Love Post from me and I know your thinking what is up this time? Let's dive in xD for starters I can tell you - it's not sad. Hopefully.

I'm about to contradict myself. Yes. I'm declaring that maybe last weeks late nyt volume is now irrelevant. I wanna move on from this game and I actually wanna do something for once rather than sit and camp like a n00b on call of duty. I'm getting my life back and there's only one way to do that. Tell her "Im in lesbians with you" Scott Pilgrim reference. Lol. Before you judge - that was a joke, it's all put behind now. I am who I am and i'm gonna enjoy life as it is.

In fairness, I'm learning to adjust towards the paranoia. I mean, two days to reply to a text is normal right? Of course it is. So whilst many unconventional factors are being played - I'm understanding that I don't have to care so much.

We can say that despite last weeks late nyt post I've accepted the casualties of the typical getting attached to someone out of your league. This post might seem so strange but I'm telling you that I won't let the uncertainties bother me and to emphasize that yours truly needs a source of confidence.

When you get attached to someone out of your league - you'll be out of your comfort zone and you suddenly become counter productive because let's face it - no plan of yours will work. Your charms are offline and your lines will be missing the mark. The perks you hope to use are unavailable and you get the picture. You can't execute your plan. This means that you can't be who you are because your limited.

My point is... I would say that do your best regardless of obstacles - I want people to risk it and push their limits. When you reach that maximum like I did - i had to give up because there was no way forward due to the rejection. BUT. try. I'm now slowly moving away from the temptation of her perfection but my intuition seeks inspiration due to negative perception.

Lastly, hope that luck will be with you and for another post I'll update everyone about what's happening in life :P

Go for the girl!

"I like this girl" Late Nyt Love Post - Smile250 - "...but Im not her type" Some wishes, some limits and falling apart

2011-11-16T23:15:00.001Z

Let's give this one a subtitle of "limits" and emphasis on "I'm not her type" You'll get the reasons soon. Also, It's a little bit dissapointing that my phone cannot perform multitasking - I couldn't listen to music while doing this blog post... I sure hope to get this feeling out and share my thoughts.

Let me warn you this could be a long blog entry to read. There's a lot of sensitive stuff here so please just don't wreck criticisms on me and I'm hoping some form of advice comes my way. I'm going to wish a slice of sense formulates in my puzzled mind.

I'm going to make one thing clear. (I guess it's time to admit huh?)
"I like this girl..."
There I said it. Yes you read it right. Don't say it's typical or even worse - judge just as you read this sentence. I think some speculated about this - their guesses are correct to an extent. "I feel affectionate" towards this new girl recently.

...I have a crush on her.

What would you do if you got clear indications it's not possible?what would you do if your not good enough?

Lots of arguements are flying through my mind at different times of the day. At one time, I was dreaming about her, inspiration can spark from me at any moment and its currently making me dissapointed and its leading me to believe theres some hope but we all know deep down its really nothing but our imagination. actually, at some point I really hated myself for fucking things up. There's a difference in this particular story than most...

She told me her type.

And I'm nowhere near that. Infact she was bragging about it. Imagine how much it hurts inside when the person you like just spells out the checklist of requirements and you completely do a venn diagram in your head about you and her type. Then you instantly realize... You scored zero points. What do you do then?

She has an attitude problem; rude and inconsiderate, she's a player and she's reads my every move. I'm defenseless and vulnerable. I could've sworn she was simply toying with me - when she gave me that one chance Of attention.

Faults or imperfections? I don't care - I always like someone including their good and bad sides. That's just me. She's impressive - I'll give her that.

I like her but There's so much competition from what my instincts are telling me. Guys from left and right are onto her. The best part comes when I know I got an edge against these guys which I can't tell you as it will give it away but the worse part is that... I'm not her type.

She even admitted that I'm not one of the people she'd date
Sometimes all we can do is stare into the vast star ocean and make random wishes. What if this what if that? In this instance I wanted to be...

The tall quiet and mysterious Asian guy with long hair from your Korean drama plus the broad shoulders and charming smile.

I can't magically make myself her type and I'm forced to give up.

Smile250 Blog Update - Autumn 2011 - Faster Loading for mobiles, The Music Video, the cold weather and more pages plus design ideas

2011-11-16T20:09:00.001Z

Few things first, If you haven't already - scroll down and submit your questions to the Smile250 Q and A Session Episode. Also, I hope people are having a good time cozying indoors and lazying out on weekends since the cold weather is kicking in. To those in education - do well peeps.

I'm planning to make a short survey at the end of 2011 to collect feedback from people. Moreover, I'm also interested in getting that Smile250 Music Video rolling - at least to try it.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Review

2011-11-15T14:08:00.001Z

After playing the multiplayer so much and completing 8 spec ops maps - Ive got my Modern Warfare 3 review.

What's good? The maps offer a smaller feel yet an definite increase in complexity. The guns feel balanced for the most part yet the UMP is still over powered. There's plenty of challenges that reward your efforts and the game modes feel old but at least the fun is still par. It can be argued that the game is suffering from too much of the same but it manages some unique fun.

The new Perks undoubtly feel so much balanced and the kill streak system has allowed for rewards for everyone - both the offensive minded players and the team orientated once because kill streaks don't reset for the support streak system. The new killstrrak rewards are useful but some like the chopper is over-powered.

There's some lag issues to be found, out dated graphics and it really feels more of the same.

Buy it for fun of modern warfare with fans alike around the globe!

2011-11-10T00:35:00.000Z

1. You can talk to her about anything
You've always been a bit guarded with previous girlfriends, and always assumed that you hated discussing your feelings. But suddenly you find yourself opening up to her. What's going on? Quite simply, you trust her. You trust her not to laugh at you, and to understand where you're coming from, and to help you make sense of life, the universe and everything. If you fancy the pants off her as well, she's a 24-carat keeper.

2. She answers back
A woman's ability to hold her own in an argument is vital, because of course you will disagree at times and you need to be able to handle conflict. Neither of you should be steamrollered by the other, and neither should automatically surrender every time there's conflict on the horizon. If you want a healthy relationship, allow each other a voice, hear each other out and don't bear grudges.

A woman who can stand up for herself in a witty and/or courteous manner is a woman with self-respect. The best keepers can even do it whilst having a bit of a cry, because they know that showing emotion is not a weakness. It's basically multi-tasking.

3. She dresses to please herself, not you
We're all guilty of editing our tastes a little when we meet someone we want to impress. You know the kind of thing – you're dating a rock fan, so you move your vast collection of Kylie CDs to the back of the shelf. Fine. It's called dating.

But if you want things to last long-term, you should each be true to yourselves. Embrace your different tastes as well as the ones you have in common. A girl who dresses to please you may seem to fulfil your idea of the perfect woman, but she's not being herself – and that will cause resentment once she remembers that she loathes wearing high heels. A woman who dresses to please herself is also likely to be happy in her own skin, and therefore more at ease physically and socially.

4. She finishes your sentences
Isn't it maddening when she interrupts to finish what you were saying? Well, relax - it's actually a very good sign. For a start, it shows that she's engaged and interested in what you're saying. Crucially, it shows that she understands where you're coming from, and she's enthusiastic about showing it.

One of the greatest things about being in a long-term relationship is the feeling that the other person knows you better than anyone else. And one of the worst things about being in a long-term relationship is the feeling that your other half just doesn't understand you. So if you want to find a keeper, pay attention to her sentence-finishing interruptions. They're an important clue that she "gets" you.

5. You want your mum to like her
This clue points to a woman's keepability in a number of ways. First, your mum's opinion matters to you, and if you really care for a girl you'll want your mum to like her too. Secondly, it suggests that you want to show her off to your family and friends - which wouldn't occur to you if you didn't think she was worth hanging onto. But most importantly, it's a sign that you see her as part of your future. If your mum loves her, the future really is bright.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Impressions Review Multiplayer

2011-11-09T10:28:00.001Z

After spending the evening with MW3 - impressions time!

The game is awesome. There I said it - hate it or love it - Call of Duty offers a robust online component offering 16 well designed maps which favour complexity and intense firefights. The news modes make some fresh ideas of gameplay but nothing revolutionary, the graphics and sound are generally average. The weapons and perks feels extremely balanced and the weight, profficiencies, killstreaks all feel relatively effective toward your style. Guns vary with your settings on it, the new weapon levels make for rewards as you use a weapon more and more. The gun combat is still sweet as ever and the biggest draw factor is the sheer fun thr it offers whatever time of the day.

SMiLE250 Simple Tips - Impress Her! Get the girl and her number

2011-11-09T10:00:00.001Z

1. Don't show your easily impressed - it lowers your Market value.
2. Tease over compliments - it's subtle but playful and casual.
3. Hints - a much underrated tip, Rather than say your itentions. Hint them to create guessing.
4. Short and Sweet - keep everything simple
5. Don't be subjective - people believe you should talk about open subjects but that makes you vulnerable to disagreeing with each other.
6. If a girl tells you "your not getting any" without you asking that means your getting some.
7. Be creative to stand out and don't overspend.
8. Talk about yourself, talking about them is counter-productive as your trying to impress them.
9. It's much more effective to single them out.
10. Eye contact, seduce them.

Reasons Why Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is better than Battlefield 3 - EA - Activision - Dice - Infinity Ward

2011-11-06T21:40:00.000Z

Battlefield 3 is a great game and the team orientated nature of the hectic 24 player battle across the expanding map with destructible maps, crazy explosions and vehicles is such a great adreneline rush.

However, Even though battlefield has better graphics, wider variety, and the larger scale - Modern Warfare has the tighter controls, intense firefights with the core fun. The fun with friends, the party system and the complete cohesive package creates a game that might not lead in innovation but is sure to provoke entertainment!

Friends with Benefits Movie impressions review 2011

2011-11-04T20:25:00.001Z

It's a movie that is enjoyable throughout - it's something that's relatable and and it challenges you to feel the situation of certain characters. I recommend you watch it simply because it's a great movie that is light and is sure to give you smile moments. The movie of course has cliche all over it and it might be predictable but the reason you'll wanna see this is - it's charm and as soon as your done watching it... believe me you'll be inspired

World Of Warcraft 2011 Review Impressions

2011-11-04T20:20:00.001Z

I really like the fully realized 3D world and the game runs well on my netbook - those two reasons alone make me excited to play World of Warcraft - it's free to play till level 20 and I'm definitely taking advantage of that. The complicated realm of RPGs is surely felt here and Im willing to invest in WoW because it's the one game millions of people talk about in the mmo genre. The game is free so I say why not try it?

GTA V World Premier - Thoughts and impressions - Smile250

2011-11-03T00:42:00.001Z

Im super excited along with the millions of fans out there!

With San Andreas being confirmed as the location Im extremely happy with Rockstars upcoming game. It's the perfect location combining 3 cities and plenty of fun to look forward to. Jets and planes are confirmed which is awesome as the previous game lacked airplanes. Moreover, the graphics prove To be much brighter and colourful - the pallete had improved and the cars showcased look great with the motorbike and bank heist teased. The game scenery captures the true essence of a city Through squatters, pedestrians and the environment. The setting looks modern and the soundtrack hopefully is up to par to vice city and the activity has to be just as great as San Andreas for this to be a True GTA V

No release dates but I can't wait!

Entertainment Editorial: How to get into video games

2011-11-03T00:26:00.001Z

First of all ask your self - what type of gaming are you trying to attempt? Select one below:
Casual or Hardcore - Let's go over what they mean as they are often used to describe the prime denominations of gamers and the target audience.

Casual - gamers who play light games in general who also spends very little time in gaming on a weekly basis. Family experiences, pick up and play, mini games and pocket games or mobile games all associate here.

Hardcore is the frequent gamer with interest in competition and completion. Gamers who play so much and the ones who could be proffesionals or the ones who enjoy gaming at around 10+ hours a week. Multiplayer and Trophies/achievements are significant here!

Getting into gaming requires you to pick a console and play your games. EASY! Top Casual Games: Farmville, Angry Birds and Sports games plus dance games. Games which are social interactions and is rewarding in some way shape or form no matter how much time you spend on it. Hardcore Games are like First person shooters and role players which require hours upon hours because they are story driven or grinding focused for progression.

The point of this is to point out that every console has a range of these Casual or Hardcore... The next thing you should do is be a gamer and join the fun!

The Death of Print media magazines - The internet killed paper publications? Smile250 Opinions

2011-10-28T14:18:00.005+01:00

This is a bit of an opinion piece. I think that magazines around gaming are slowly dying because of the internet. News, reviews, and the whole network of gaming is facilitated by the flow of the internet. Advertising, stories, previews and editorials are available to the public with a few clicks and the information which was once exclusive to magazines are all found in the internet within minutes of the actual announcements. Magazines continue to produce copies but I feel that a loss is coming somewhere - the amount of freebies coming from magazines these days are plenty. This indicates a compensation for the value in order to attract customers. In fact the most shocking fact is the amount of advertising is magazines have significantly increased over the past five years or so. The text in each magazine no longer is exclusive as the information is absorbed by internet websites. The weakest part of magazines is that its once every month. The information could be 4 weeks late or some information are out dated. There are also cases where the front page is no longer relevant. The internet cannot be blamed for this but it's speed and the fee of zero certainly makes it the number one killer to the print magazines. Magazine's offer free stickers, dvds and posters but this personally is not enough to justify the costs of purchase. Your investment is no longer worth it with magazines. The advertising is off-putting and the demos included in the gaming magazines are out-dated. The times have moved on and print media will surely fall if nothing is done.

EA Sports Xbox360 PS3 SSX - Snowboarding Comics - Defy Reality. Own The Planet - Sean Smillie Rees Savidis Agustin Padilla

2011-10-20T20:46:00.001+01:00

EA has been cool enough to give me copies of their SSX comics and I gotta say the art style and presentation was amazing on this thing! The colourful drawings and the stereotypical generic story combines well to create an inspired piece of comic. Im not a fan of comic books but this one totally gets my thumbs up - if anyone wants a read - just ask me I have two copies and if your nearby I might be able to ship and give it to you. The visual presentation is the most refreshing quality of SSX comic for me and I really have to give credit to the creators of this.

The palette of colours has been used significantly and the snappy writing totally adds immersion. Manga's are colourless which is what I read so this was something new for my eyes and whilst it does very little advertising of the game for me - the impact is I now wanna check out modern comics and maybe use some of these art style in the future. This is a game tie in and I personally will not be buying the game.

Im not a fan of SSX although I played plenty of them in the PS2 days but Amped Series is just much better in my opinion. The demo I played in EuroGamer was sub par and nothing special about it. Set to release next - they could prove me wrong and make it awesome!
The screenshots you see show you snaps of this attention seeker and it's definitely worth a look if you come across modern world comics as this little book proved to me that comics are not too be taken lightly and it still has some ass kicking power!

Analysis opinions Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen - Book Impressions

2011-10-20T20:12:00.000+01:00

When I arrived in England last 2005 - buses were carrying posters for the movie of Pride and Prejudice and I didn't really pay attention to this title but now I'm in college, a topic for our exam is this novel by famed writer Jane Austen.

my thoughts? heres my opinion on it:
"For those who are fans of romantic comedy, this book is mediocre, in fact romance is not the driving factor for me in this. Imagine a really deep social commentary that shows attitudes and morals in society during the Georgian England and there you have it. There are no cheesy cringing type of moments, theres certainly no "action" here but the novel brings satire and unique challenging social themes about people's attitudes. It's a great read although some chapters and scenes are dragged for far too long or described in detail yet useless. The characters are lovable but lack any source of relation - when I read other old timer novel I was hooked by characters but this one is mega downer on that. It's beautifully written yet fails to capture me because it needs more story candy"

Smile250 Late Night Love Post - "Cloud your perception and dream away"

2011-10-13T00:29:00.000+01:00

Late Night Love Post Volume 2
Created by Kean Tyrone Tagaro

Hey readers, this is a totally relaxed and personal blog post that I want to share to the world. This is the second or (third?) maybe more than that time I talked about a late night love post but this one is volume 2 since it's a complete new idea and I remember the last post was just titled "late night love post" so this version just has a 2 in it. Haha. But I do hope you enjoy Reading it :D

"Volume 2: Late Night Love Post"

Boy meets girl.
I don't remember the last time I felt charm. Its The kind of feeling you don't know how to explain yet your on the edge of your life, waiting for the next heaven scent. You just stand squeezing your shoulders towards your face in cuteness explosion. The visuals of your eyes seem fuzzy, your ears constantly hear your rapid hearbeat and you wait until the bell rings for scene you knew you always wished for. The door opens, you try to fix your hair one last time and you camp waiting to say your name - a glimpse of hope that she'll know who you are. Just maybe she'll know. What if she doesn't see me?

A sudden change. You immerse yourself in silence and in preparation for your speech you practised over and over again in the toilet mirror. Then, your caught off guard and you'll have to live by the moment. You're stuterring, skipping the ideas and losing your sanity over a 120 seconds of saying your name and introducing yourself.

Lucky? There she was smiling. I'm so screwed.

You see the daylight and your just frozen. The sun shines and in the hopes it melts the ice of struck. Headed to the hills where your avoiding the geeky references to your homework and the latest gaming buzz. You know you have one chance and you make the most out of it, yet. There's still a feeling that she's far away. A feeling you desire to ignore, a feeling you'd die to answer it's theories. Trapped in emotions with the feeling you wanna break open and cry your heart out - simply because...

She's out of your league.

Driving Lessons - quick comments and impressions

2011-10-12T09:46:00.001+01:00

I've been learning to drive for two lessons now and I just wanna comment on how it's going. I feel like it's really worth sharing to those teenagers looking to drive out there.

The difficulty of mixing the clutch and gas is a hurdle in the smoothness of my driving. Once your rolling it is a sweet experience - fun and challenging to learn is somewhat exciting! In general I wanna learn as soon as possible and it's not hard at all.

Don't believe the gender connotations of driving and just give It a go :D if you want some thoughts ask female blogger fefe as she just hit her 5th lesson and I'm on my third. I haven't hit any cars or pedestrians yet. Wooo! It's costly but surely passing its an asset to
Drive and future life.

Free Realms PS3 Europe Impressions - Smile250 Gaming

2011-10-09T17:23:00.002+01:00

Free Realms made a huge impact on the free to play concept of traditional mmorpg's - specifically for the younger demographics. The market has since then seen a huge mainstream success for all ages. Whilst Free Realms does nothing revolutionary and it is not the first of its kind - it attracted many player to join the mmorpg fan base. The PC version has grown steadily and the promised PS3 Version has arrived here on Europe!

There will be a full review of Free Realms towards the end of October.
Impressions:

"Free Realms is a very charming game - it has plenty of mini-games and the over world in pretty large, the mistake people make is they judge it to be a kids game and the simplicity may turn off some but actually you'll find an addicting little gem in Free Realms."

"Its worth a try since the entry fee cost nothing. Its "free realms" Free. get it? Haha. no? erm. Yeah."

I'm a 17 year old girl, trying her hand at Blogging. It failed once '_' but now I'm ready to get it going... There's not a lot to me, I seem pretty realistic with a hint of sarcasm definitely on my list of languages. I'm alright with most people, but me & my group can be a lil anti-social. We stick together All I wanna do is get through Uni, See the world & be with the ones I love. Not a lot right? It seems to be tho *as ALevels begin to drain my social life ;( ANYWAYS... My blog's just about my world really. Everyday shit whilst I add some bits in to make it seem like it's something for everyone! Fashion, Food, Pets, Politics, Anything. So check it out?

Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Experience - Playstation Plus - Subway Eat fresh - PS3 - Smile250 - Review Impressions

2011-10-09T02:00:00.000+01:00

Uncharted 3 continues the adventure of famed treasure hunter Nathan Drake. Venture through Deserts and Sinking Ships and 40,000 ft. Aircrafts this fall exclusively on PS3

Whilst I'm sure many of you are fans of the story line the series has been acknowledged, heres a short impressions based on the new "multiplayer experience" available from the Playstation Plus Subscription. You can also get hold of this multiplayer experience via SUBWAY Eat Fresh - buying a sub gets you a download code for free to play the Uncharted 3 multiplayer before launch.

"The strengths of Uncharted comes from an intense 5v5 match across a variety of maps ranging from desert ghost town to air-strip hangars. The verticality of the maps offer another layer of threat and routes to objectives, the character customization, perks and medal kickbacks are both rewarding and give some player choice and some dynamic battle functions. The presentation is top notch with colourful graphics, sharp textures and with no loading screen in between matches too! The animation from cover to cover and movement is done extremely well that the game plays very smoothly"

Counter Strike Global Offensive Preview Impressions PC PS3

2011-09-30T23:42:00.000+01:00

This is my last EuroGamer Impressions

Thanks to Valve for giving me a free t-shirt of Counter Strike!

Counter-strike is coming to consoles and as the news spilled i was excited day one. The opportunity at EuroGamer was totally nostalgic. To get to details, its 5 versus 5 on de_dust with modifications to make it much more balanced. The sound is still true to the classic original and the graphics has been matched to this generations. In fairness, the maps needs a bit more detail and polish and the menus are easy to use and the rules remain true to the original.

There are new weapons and grenades that you can purchase and everyone has one life to either play Counter-Terrorist or Terrorists in a round. Only one team member has a defuse kit and one bomb carrier. The lives are much more valued and the gameplay is much more tighter and intense.

I look forward to Counter-Strike in 2012

OnLive Cloud gaming UK US REVIEW

2011-09-29T22:48:00.000+01:00

many people didnt think cloud gaming was possible...
They are WRONG.

On-Live is a great gaming service that proves the possibility of cloud gaming. To some, Cloud gaming may seem unfamiliar - its simply playing games from a central server that the data is sent to you. This brings plenty of advantages and disadvantages. However, On-Live is a strong platform thats not to be ignored.

Starting with its already growing catalogue, On-Live features games like Saints Row 3, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Homefront and a bunch of classic and modern video games. The service has approximately 150 games, give and take.

The service is free to download and you pay for the games you want to play. This can either be a rental for 3 or 5 days or a purchase pass which is a forever access to the game. The pricing is not to bad and there are no ads too which is sweet. The service itself is in clear and crisp interface which lets you play games as long as you have internet connection to the cloud. Nice!

The strengths of On-live is being able to play games on any computer that has internet. It doesnt need the latest graphics card to run the latest games and Im playing On-live using my old 2006 laptop which works perfectly. The games are steadily growing and the service has certainly done its part to partialy innovate in technology or at least bring the tech to the masses.

On-live streams information to you at NO lag at all. Theres miliseconds lag if you want to really go on to the smallest detail but its what people refer to as lag that you cannot notice. We are talking approximately 35-60 mls of lag which is roughly the lag of the Playstation DualShock Controller. So as you can see the technology really is working and...the best part?

You can play games anywhere, anytime on any device!

It has support for Andriod Devices (soon) Ipads, tablets, PC, and the Onlive Console.

The downside is the requirement of internet connection and the support for titles isnt strong yet on a mainstream perspective. However, it is expanding. On-Live service is free and you can use its Arena which lets you watch videos of live games being played, the friends list, the brag clips for showing off your skills and the achievements for you completionists out there.

Theres a subscription for 6.99£ a month for access to over 100 games as long as you subscribe!

You can play demos for free to try games and try the service itself. You dont download anything as everything is streamed and theres no delay, its click and play!

Its free, it has no lag and theres no system requirements to play the latest games!

Bethesda Elder Scrolls Skyrim Preview PS3 XBOX360 Smile250

2011-09-28T22:34:00.000+01:00

Bethesda is one of the biggest contributor to Eurogamer Expo, with both large play booths for Rage and Skyrim. They gave me a SKYRIM T-shirt! Now, down to the impressions...

Skyrim is not a graphical powerhouse - the game has great lighting and the character models are realized in a believable manner, the water and environments look pretty and the spell effects are of visual flair. However, whilst the game has great presentation including its voice acting and great dialogue and the expansive world and loot to collect, the game has one flaw for me. Its something that's minor but to me is standing out - why is it the environment does not react to your spell attacks or melee attacks for that matter?

It would be nice if a fire spell can set fire on the grass and set little forests ablaze. But that aside, the spells look great and deal some punch specially the new dual wielding mechanic with spells, also lets not forget the weapons like axes and swords which can also be used dual. In fact a combination of the two is also possible. Killing monsters and collecting loot should satisfy RPG fans and the exp is constantly flowing too.

There's a sprint mechanic thats tied to your stamina bar and your spells are tied to a mana bar - both of the bars automatically regenerate over time. Magic not only serves offensive purposes but also help effect spells, situations and heal the player.

The game has a collection of races to play and the story is beginning to intrigue me with its rich world full of towns, shops, dungeons, mountains, mines, caves and more. The game feels good with first person view but unfortunately the third person still needs work in order to be a natural playable perspective, although actually its already good but its just not naturally something a player would gravitate to, as the first person is much better.

finally, the game has a plethora of weapons from bows, short swords, and shields - couple that with magic and the gameplay already seems sweet in the RPG world. Expect a great game from Bethesda!
