I am confused…

Just one more week, and I will be back in my college. I will be sitting with my friends doing nothing yet everything. I can imagine myself sleeping in one of the last benches in the class. Boy, I love it. I can see myself bossing around on my juniors. ( Nah, I am just kidding ). I have got many diabolic plans, any of which if turns out to be successful, can cause a lot of havoc on IIIT network. (Don’t ask me. I am not going to tell u any ). Yet, I am not sure if I am happy. College life is quite lovely to be a part of. (OK, I agree. There are still some/many things about my college which I hate and many of u too.) But do I really want to go back ? :O

I would surely miss my home. Yup, it is the best place in the world. There is no other place like home. But another truth is that I am dying of boredom here. There is no other thought at this moment that would give me more pleasure than of returning to college. On the other hand, the thought of leaving my home makes my heart heavy. Surely, I have to return. There is no other way out if I want to complete my engineering. At the most, I can delay my return. But I would have to go later.

So what do I want? I don’t know. How do I overcome this confusion? I don’t know. Only if somebody could suggest something

Prince of Persia is back !

After the successful Sands of Time trilogy, Ubisoft has buckled up for another Prince of Persia game. I am really finding it difficult to wait for its release. Some months back, some confidential material was leaked out from Ubisoft that contained artwork for this new title. Although Ubi won’t be happy, but I am putting up some screens from the new title. Hope u enjoy !

The New Prince !

Looks Cool !

She’s Gorgeous ! Better than Farah and Kaileena

A Little Rubbish

Blah… Blah… Blah…Blah…

Wondering why I started my post this way???  Well, I have nothing to say. I am getting completely bored at home. Friends are not here yet. I think IIITians are the first to get out of their college. I have tried so many games since the start of vacations that I do not feel like touching my laptop right now. Worse, I haven’t read a single book for the book reading assignment and there is the least chance that I will find it on the net. Meanwhile, I have got myself an unlimited GPRS plan so that I can stay connected to my friends (U can find all of them either at Orkut or GTalk. Man my batch is crazy about Orkut! ). Well, that reminds me, since I am outta college and got an unlimited plan….that means no restriction on torrents and Rapidshare.  Yoohooo !

 

P.S.:-  Can somebody send me book reports for the assignment ? Plz…. !!!

Prince of Persia : Warrior Within

I am sure there would be lot of blogs, reviews etc. on the web praising this game but only a few speaking bad about it. So I thought why not I write one. After all, no game is perfect and this game does deserve some criticism. I am not trying to write different but just pointing out some things which some reviews by “esteemed” gamers have left out. Let’s start with bugs. Have you ever tried killing bad guys and then immediately saving the game. Well, on next load you will find that the bad guys are still there and you have to fight them again. And what’s the solution for this? Simply move out of the room where save fountain and bad guys were and then come again. Ubisoft needs to check such technical bugs. And every player atleast once during the play faces the problem of corrupted savegames. What’s worse, not only last savegame gets corrupted, but it also corrupts some of the saves which were previously working fine. So you need to find one savegame which is not corrupted and then continue from there. This bug was also present in Prince of Persia I. Wonder why Ubisoft didn’t correct it ! Any answers, Ubi? Now let’s go to some bloopers. In one level, where Dahaka is chasing you, he throws his tentacles on you. When you view the tentacles from overlook view, they look as approaching the prince. But from the normal third person view, they just go from side-to-side and not towards prince. And in one room in the fortress, you have got 4 POP logos on wall, 3 alright, and one rotated by 90 degress to right. I don’t think Ubisoft has done it intentionally because it didn’t convey a thing regarding the game. The game has excellent gameplay, but it sometimes becomes frustrating to find the path. Map shown is the worst one I have ever seen in a game. It gives practically no information. But anyways, this game is much better than many titles available in the market. And while IIIT p2p a.k.a. DC is there , I need not worry about latest games. All are there, just a click away !   

Vacations at IIIT

When everyone is enjoying their vacations home, I am stuck with a damn summer project. U will definitely ask who told me to take up a project. Well, I did consult some seniors. Some nodded yes, others warned me. Going with the little statistics I learnt in Prof. Kaul’s class (only a little), I decided to go for the project and trust me, I am still repenting on my decision. Why? Because there’s nothing new in the project. I was expecting it as a chance to learn something. But my dreams were shattered. Anyways, it’s no use talking about it. So let’s shift topic.

Nowadays, every IIITian has a huge burden on his shoulders. Yes, you got it right. The Summer Book Reading Assignment. Wait a minute, u thinking it’s like one we used to get in schools where we had to submit a book report on a book of our choice. Well, only first part is right, u have to submit a report…. but on a book that could be your worst nightmare. Ever heard of ‘Bhartiya Chitta Manas Kala’. Don’t be scared, I am with you bro!!

Among all these things, one thing I forgot to mention about is my hobby – Computer Games. I am spending more time on them than my project work. I got my hands on some very nice games like TMNT, Battlefield 2142, GTA etc. I am taking home quite a good number of them. (70% of my hard drive is full of them. ) More reviews on them as soon as I finish them.

Till then,  have a good time !
