One thing I’ve never liked about Malaysian videogame events is that they’re too PC games-centric. Now I know that PC and online games are the main driving force for the local videogame industry in the country, but that doesn’t mean console games should be totally left out of the picture. As we’ve seen in the last couple years, console gaming is making great inroads in the gaming community and to ignore it is to deny the true picture of the videogame sub-culture in Malaysia.
This is why I’m proud to present GameAxis LIVE!, a major videogame festival that will take place at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Hall 1 on the 11th to 13th of July 2008. Besides your usual fare of PC and online game publishers, we plan to bring console gaming to LIVE! in one form of another for visitors to enjoy. LIVE! will also have several activities, booths, and sections dedicated to anime, lifestyle, and popular entertainment. It’s going to be huuuuuuge, and we got more surprises in store for the event in the coming months. Stay tuned.
“Oh wow, the scenery here in Pulau Redang is just breathtaking!”
“Yeah, it’s almost as good as the graphics in Crysis!“
I loled heartily.
Still in Bali at the moment. Dammit, there’s a 42-inch flat-screen panel TV in my hotel room. I really wish I brought my Xbox 360 so I could play GTAIV on it.
Unlike Kurogane, I’m not ga-ga over meido in anime because the majority of maids in anime don’t act like maids. In fact, they’re pretty downright moronic, only fawning over their masters and/or acting moe by dressing in maid clothes just to pander to fanboys (which is why I’ve yet to touch He is my Master and Kimiaru. I only like a few maids - Maria of Hayate no Gotoku and perhaps Roberta of Black Lagoon since they usually act the role as designated of their character. Of course my favorite meido would be Emma of Victorian Romance Emma.
Some other reasons why I don’t like meidos in anime/manga today, which author Kaoru Mori nicely illustrates in these omake strips.
Came back from the GTAIV pre-order sale around 11:30 p.m. I’ve been playing the game for about 3 hours now. Tomorrow I’ll upload the launch pics. Right now I’m too tired and sleepy to bother with resizing the photos, and I’ve work in the morning.
If I were still in Uni, I’d have skipped lectures and spend the whole day playing the game to death. Ah, those were the days…
GTAIV is confirmed to have arrived at Gamer’s Hideout, Cineleisure Damansara. To celebrate its arrival, Gamer’s Hideout will have a midnight sale, where they’ll start selling the first units to the public.
