In My Life

I've been busy making a living editing medical videos and spending my spare time... playing games, Nintendo Wii and Gears of War on Xbox 360 specifically.

Nintendo Wii is totally different game as its new control scheme does work better than I expected and simple games like tennis and bowling offer better immersion than any other game system. Sure, the graphics are not HD, but who cares when it offers so much fun? I was planning to keep it until I finish Zelda and before X-mas shopping season, but my friends are having so much with the system that I decided to keep it.

Gears of War on the other hand, is the best selling game in this season and rightfully so. The graphic and the presentation are the best out there, offering simple tactical action fun. The fact that I managed to beat the game on 'casual' level and went straight back for 'hardcore' fun is the testament to the game's obvious charm and entertainment value. I wish that one of my friends had Xbox 360 and this game so that we can play cooperatively on the 'insane' level.

I couldn't get Playstation 3 but I read it's great Blu-ray player that offers great value for its price, $600--if you can get it, but not a great game system. Since there's not a HDTV that can properly utilize its power of HDMI 1.3, we'll have to wait a couple of years, and a couple of grands to save to fully realize its HD dream.

There's not much to tell in terms of my film works except that there's a short movie I'll be working on in December, and trying to finalize my scripts for next year's screenplay competitions.

Besides, I recently heard a bad news about a movie I worked on, which I cannot divulge yet... so I need to lose myself in good movies to keep my spirits up and hopes up. This business is littered with broken dreams, and I'm well-aware of it, but making a good movie can change people's hearts, if not lives. That's all I hope for in my life.
