  UPDATE: 08 November 2012

  I have not been paying attention to my GameSpot profile page for some times now. Nowadays, things that I do at GameSpot would be to keep track with the latest Gaming news and skimped through reviews. Unlike in the past, I would have a lot of time to spare watching video reviews and compilations such as The Gun Show etc. etc. (I still miss great stuff like Button Mashing from time to time).

  I have recently taking a long hard look at my GS profile because my girlfriend who read through my old blog entries and reviews on GameSpot, thought they were pretty good. She actually encourages me to write more reviews on the game that I have been playing (Thank you, Mel). My last review was all the way back in 2008! I am not even sure I have got the mojo or the motivation anymore. But I decided to write one anyway. The game I chose to write on is Borderlands 2, which turned out to be a pretty awesome game I have played this year. Here is the link to the review:http://us.gamespot.com/borderlands-2/user-reviews/800747/platform/pc/
  
  However, my experience on the site has not been very welcoming at all.
  
  The first thing I noticed is that all my images that I posted in my previous entries are now BROKEN. Uploaded images are still there but their links are broken making the page pretty barren and ugly. So, I removed all the images for the time being. Secondly, the reviews that I wrote for Borderlands 2 seems to be ignoring all the paragraphs I put in them so it turned out to be a big wall of texts. That is pretty discouraging!, GS. I actually wanted to write reviews for a few more games. I hope this get fixed soon!

  The game that I'm playing right now is Guild War 2. I'm using a Necromancer and just reach LV. 80 last night. So far, I have a pretty good time playing this game despite the fact that I never liked or spending a lot of time on an MMO. BUT, GW 2 takes the cake.I'm hoping to write a review on Guild War 2 some time in the near future once User Review is fixed. Until then, Ciao!

  UPDATE: The issue plaguing User Review regarding paragraphing has been fixed. My Borderlands 2 review has been fixed as well. Good Job, GameSpot.

  Random: A longggggg entry in a long longgggg while!!

  It's been nearly 7 months since my last entry. Couldn't believe it's been that long since the release of StarCraft 2.

  I've moved to UK for Master studies since September last year. It's an awesome country. I've been adjusting ever since.Getting used to the cold weather, the slangs, new environments and making new friends and so on. One of the things I miss about the comfort of my home is CONSOLE GAMING, =D... I miss my console games and the big mutha TV, guitar hero band set... I still rememer the fun playing those games with my younger brother. And, YES, I really miss my family too.With that said, my condolences for Guitar Heroes series, which Activision has recently pulled the plug. Thank for introducing such an enjoyable game but nothing lasts forever.

  By November, I couldn't resist the urge to play the latest games like New Vegas (was pretty new back then), and yeah, StarCraft 2, I decided to buy a gaming Laptop, MSI GX660R. Been a happy PC gamer ever since.

  I have just finished Dead Space 2 and playing the 2nd round now. It has become pretty much a fast-paced action game by now. It's no longer scary like the first one did. I play it through without much tension. Just kind of wanna play it through til the end, see how the story unfolds. There was seamlessly no load time between chapters so I keep getting hooked into the game and found myself can't stop playing. I started off at Midnight and only managed to put down by 7 AM in the morning!! It's an entertaining game and I have just recently tried out the Multiplayer which is not that impressive.

  This has become a very long entry so I guess I will just end it with games I'm looking forward to play this coming March which is Dawn of War 2: Retribution Dragon Age 2, Shogun 2: Total War and Crysis 2 all of which due in March, 4th, 11th, 15th, and 25th respectively. It's going to be a super busy month as I have to prepare for exams by the end of the month as well... BUT, hell yeah!!, there will always be time for gaming. The temptation is high, hopefully, I could manage my time well enough!!
  
  Last but not least, for those who have found the right person in their life.
  Happy Valentine!, Cheers!
