My Sim Addiction (Game review)

Everyone must of heard of the famous game series called The Sims.





The Sims is one of the most genius games ever created. The game is based around being responsible for controlling and maintaining the life of a Sim (A computerized version of a person). The game is so tweaked to be just as close to a real humans life as possible.

You are in charge of taking care of their needs, such as the need to socialize , eat , work , sleep , get jobs , take care of personal hygiene and of course enjoy their lives having fun! First of all you have to build a home for your Sims and it is believable how in depth this part can be and how much fun it is if you have a wild creative imagination but it all depends If you have to funds required to build your dream house of course. It is very possible to build a exact replica of your real house , the game provides hundreds of item varieties from wallpaper to tiles to furniture to trees to plants, basically everything you would see in your home its in there.

To maintain a decent lifestyle your Sims will need to get a job which could range from almost any field from being Chefs to teacher to Scientist to Doctors. Where each job has different pays and requirements to reach the next level of promotion. You start off at the bottom of the promotional ladder and you work your way up by sending your Sims into the books to study requirements given while at the same time your taking care of their needs. Friends also play an important role in the game especially promotion wise as a certain amount of friends is needed to get the promotion in some fields

Many people have become addicted to this game and those who never played a simulation game before will definitional fall in love with the Sims Franchise. After all , who can resist a game that allows you do anything you want !


I am SO loving the game so far exploring all the new features especially that I gotten some of the expansion packs such as "Open for Business ". My favorite part of the game is building houses and recently been trying to create a replica of my real home but it taking some time. Here is how far I gotten.





I have the graphics turned down why the game graphics look so blunt but if you have a high def computer the game really comes alive with realistic reflection shadows etc. I'm not done yet and just noticed some faults so far like the dinning table was placed to far from the living room and the coffee table is placed to much on the left but in all I say its going well.


But this is nothing compared to some of the designers out there who make massive impressive houses such like this XD







Wheeh.. fun fun fun :)

A Jonas Brothers Cover!




Attempted the Jonas Brothers Song SOS for my select few friends who are in LOVE with them :P. I just like the riff in this song and had to try it out

Sound The Alarm

Random entry , So thought I'd do an Album review of a band I randomly stumbled across last night called Sound The Alarm.




Got my hands on their 2007 Album STAY INSIDE . When I first saw the album cover, it didn't feel to appealing seeing a girl trapped inside a super size jar but I always remembered the saying don't judge a book by its cover, so I went ahead and decided to listen to it. I was expecting a loud depressing screamo type band but it turns out they are an Alternative Rock Genre and that happens to be my favorite genre :) .

Not alot of heavy guitars , meaningful lyrics and none repetitive tracks. Definitely recommend this album for those who want to sit back and relax to a great album.

Track Listing:


Rate This Album 9/10


1. Closer
2. Picture Perfect ( Favorite )
3. Suffocating
4. Stay Inside
5. Until We Collide
6. Fact or Fiction
7. Telling Lies
8. If I Told You
9. Count On Me
10. Something New
11. Blame It All On Me
12. Fight For...

Orange Prediction



Coming home from UWI I noticed a very rare type of cloud formation above me :O Well unless there was bad weather approaching the following day. Adding the thunder which occurred around midnight from a Cumulo-Nimbus cloud I kind of expected the next morning to be all crappy ...and looky today is completely overcast with continuous showers in the morning . Hah my sort of first accurate prediction came through. ^_^

Anyway , the Alto Cumulus clouds gave way to a neat evening sky so I quickly rushed out the car and got a snap of it ^_^ . ( Stupid Power Lines! :@ )







Lame Day ... but the coolness is nice :)

Magibon? Random Much?

So what is a Magibon? o.O Well I'm not sure myself but upon my usual random browsing on Youtube came across this channel Magibon, and its created by a girl who goes by the name MRirian.

The thing that so funny about her channel is not that fact that almost all her videos are have over 1million views, some even over 3million. Nor its the fact there only 30-50 seconds long.

But its the fact all she does is just stare into the camera for half a minute without talking, except for the few occasions where she says 2 or 3 Japanese words or takes a bite from a giant Pizza then continues staring lol. Her Channel is the most random thing I have ever watched ._. How is she able conjurer up millions of views and 80 thousand subscribers o.O


34 Seconds Of Random Staring = 4.5million Views

Tan Dun Pulls It Off!




Few months ago i've talked about the Youtube Symphony Orchestra where the the composer of the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon decided to create the first collaborative online band. Where youtubers from all around the world were given a chance to play a given sheet of music and record themselves playing it then upload it to Youtube. The top videos were then selected and placed in one giant compilation and create the worlds first Online Orchestra.

It turned out perfect ! Countries From Korea to Austria to Russia , at least every country in the world took part in this. It really hit me how much classical music is diversified around the world from playing to blowing to fingering techniques, Yet when placed together something beautiful comes out. I've been really anxious to see how things would of turned out. Music really is a universal language ...


Here is the compilation of the video of the winning videos. If you have a joy for music, I'm sure you'd love this video.





2 Days ago the winners were given a ticket to New York to preform their pieces the first time together. I WISHED so much to go to it :(( Why do i live on a stupid rock .

The concert was recorded on youtube on the Symphony's channel :) . Found it really breathe taking.



This is only the First Act of the LIVE concert in New York and its about 1 hour long so take sometime and listen to the introduction :)
