Valkyria Chronicles 2 PSP

Felix M.C. Li — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 08:39:54 +0000

Bought both the UMD and the PSN copies and sunk 71+ hours, still have a lot to do. It is good that there are still so many things to do, just leveling up and change title need quite a lot of time.

Not as straight forward as the previous one, but it is more convenient on the PSP, much easier to just pick up and play for a short while. But the new major characters are not as charming as the old one. Wish Selvaria can wear her old suit.

Update (2010-03-08): 155+ hours already, finished it once, but still have quite a lot to do, may be 30-40 hours more will clear all the missions

FreeBSD 8.0 released

Felix M.C. Li — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:21:07 +0000

Talked on upgrading about 11 months ago, but didn’t have time. It is already 8.0. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it before 2010.

Bayonetta, the game that sold me an X360 Elite

Felix M.C. Li — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:13:07 +0000

Read from the net that it is much much better than the PS3 version (that I have played around 30 hours), I’ve bought a X360 Elite, finally, because of Bayonetta.

The first impression was the much clearer cut scenes, and much much faster loading (after installing to hard disk). But the game play didn’t have a large difference in terms of smoothness. X360 version does perform better but not night and day. A 360 for just this game doesn’t seem to be a good choice, yet.

Hopefully the difference will be more later.

update: After 13 hours on X360 version, I’d say both has stuttering moments, sometimes the PS3 feels better, the X360 is overall smoother, but I prefer the Dual Shock 3.

update2: After 75 hours on X360 version, I’d say it is the definitive version ! But PS3 port is still worth it if you don’t have a 360.

update3: This is THE action game of the generation.

update4: Unlocked Jeanne.

My stance on iPhone

Felix M.C. Li — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:15:23 +0000

I’m still not convinced, although most of my (more advanced) friends were using it. I won’t like to key in stuffs that I have to look at it to not be wrong, nor I won’t like I don’t know which keys were I pressing.

I love my Nokia E71, or my slow Sony Ericssion M600i, which I will surely know which keys I have pressed.

Apart from that, the stubborn Apple corp. culture has driven me away from any of their products (except QuickTime Pro on Windows, which I happened to paid for, as a software package from Apple).

Razer Mamba

Felix M.C. Li — Sat, 16 May 2009 10:20:34 +0000

Bought one recently, the packaging is very nice, the finishing of the charging dock and the mouse is top notch. The shape matches very well with my hand. I like its wireless/wired dual mode capability that I don’t have to be wired when I don’t need the highest precision and lowest latency.

Beer and the economic turmoil

Felix M.C. Li — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:14:55 +0000

Doesn’t look like there are any effect on the prices of the beers that I like, some even had a increase in price than discounts.

It is Hoegaarden, I usually buy it at HK$8.9 from a neighboring supermarket before, but it’s price has been raised to HK$13.8 recently. I had stopped buying it since then. It had been in the market for a while, don’t know how the distributor suddenly thinks it worth that much more.

Doesn’t changed much for my other favourites, e.g. Duvel, Chimay, Maisel’s Weisse.
