Not much for a number but for a little site like mine, it is quite a lot comparing to the 15 comment, ha ha !
Thank you, Akismet.
I won’t have time to update/maintain my gaming sites for at least 2-3 years, I think I won’t even have time to play games. Seriously considering whether I should shut them down (only maintain this blog once in a while) or let them stay where they are (which I don’t prefer).
Very busy these days, I have taken a new career lately. I can forsee that I will have even less leisure time for games and my sites, sorry to those who are waiting for updates.
And BTW, I am very happy with the performance of Akismet, it has caught 181 spam for me since I first installed it.

I hadn’t change my wallpaper for a while, it is a scanned image of the “Love Letter” DVD inner sleeve. The pose is so good that I don’t want to change it.
Do you need someone to explain the story to you if the script/story was intentionally presented in a vague way ?
Some writers like to leave the story open to interpretations, as it stimulates discussions and the very interesting thing is that different people will see different things from the same story/game/movie and the story/game/movie will live on in their mind/heart for a much long while.
But many people won’t be satisfied with that and they always ask for an explanation from the creators. I guess that’s a good thing for them but an explanation is not necessarily a good thing for others.
I’d say they should leave it as it is, and in term of games I think Team ICO has done a very good job on both ICO and SOTC/WATC for not spilling the beans. And for sure not making a direct sequel to ICO (which usually selects a fixed path to the old game) is also considered a good thing to me.
Unless you upgrade your system to one with a PCI Express x16 slot, you don’t have much choice for your video card upgrade. The supposed best AGP card is the 7800 GS from Nvidia, but that one is a bit crippled comparing to the 7800 GT (let alone 7900 GT at the same price as 7800 GS) in terms of raw power (still, I had bought it :D). I don’t want to let go of my Northwood P4 3G yet, although it is rather slow encoding WMV9, it is still working well with most other things.
AMD’s x2 CPUs are very attractive and I’ve seen a new AM2 socket motherboard on the shelf recently, the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe. But like many PC fanatics, I am waiting for the arrival of Intel’s next CPU, code name Conroe, it looks like a worthy upgrade to my current PC and I will finally have a taste of the power of the latest Dual-Core CPUs (although I had dual CPU systems quite a while ago - dual Pentium 200MMX, dual Pentium II 450MHz) and the software that take advantage of them (my main tools, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe PhotoShop CS, TMPGEnc 3.0 Xpress).
And I have finally settled with Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000 than another Logitech, new and faster ones are all USB only, no more dual mode (USB, PS2), but I still prefer PS2 mouse.

Loading ...Bought it less than a year and it died, the first time a mouse died on me.
Checked the new ones but the “Forward”, “Backward” buttons (for web browsers) are gone but I got used to it.
Have to use my old and reliable Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0.
