Free to Play: That Gaming Experience


Free to Play: The Movie (english subtitles)




"FREE TO PLAY is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament. In recent years, E Sports has surged in popularity to become one of the most widely-practiced forms of competitive sport today. A million dollar tournament changed the landscape of the gaming world and for those elite players at the top of their craft, nothing would ever be the same again. Produced by Valve, the film documents the challenges and sacrifices required of players to compete at the highest level."

(available @ both YouTube and Steam)

Free to Play: The Movie Review

Thanks Valve,


It's always been sensitive topic when it comes to gaming, the competition, the tournaments. But gamers alike had all followed the gaming scene and watched the rise of esports. It's like a sports thou, just that we practice it too. Like how soccer fans play soccers with the rest of their fans on Sunday afternoons, talking about that dive and ranting about the penalty. That's what gamers do too, getting together with our fellow, (excuse me while i say nerd) nerd friends in the comforts of the LAN shop, playing games (not forgetting shouting like crazy kids) and reminiscing "that" epic moment, and together, we created and have our very own little epic moments. It's personal. It really is.

One game, many combinations of champions/heroes/characters, millions of different players, limitless possibilities. I know it might seem like a "big deal" or are gamers actually going in "too deep", but I'm sure you'd got them too. Summoner's Dotarians alike. Even Zombie survivors & bank robbers. Any class of gamer would have their moments to indulge in. The moment when 1 quick thinking turned the table, and saved the game. That final hit at the (sorry dota fans) nexus when the inhibitor would spawn and everyone scrambled around to get their ass together, and there's pretty much so many to name. The evolution of gaming have shifted so much after the introduction of multiplayer system, and it's a whole new world out there. You get to meet people, of all sorts, and it's not just plain gaming. It's much more than that. Socializing when you make new friends and conference calling, shorting out commands and directions in dire times of needs, getting out of your comfort zone, or even to meeting new people who share the same passion as you. (i know passion is a huge word to use, but fuck that, you know that moment when you couldn't take it and launch that game).

Decision making skills, situation analysis, and also leadership. Decision making, fight or flight, that's the most common scenario we're often face when it comes to gaming, you know it, to fight, or to flee, or what should we go, what's our objectives? who should we gun down first? somebody's got to hold the "tank" back while the rest do our thing, or even, sacrificing for the game and don't get me starting on the vast diversity of people you will meet when you play games, there're 3 tiers of people you'll meet. Trolls, yes i mean trolls and they're the ones who either get their way, or they ruin the game, so.. lets not talk about them. And up the tier would be the fellow guys who share your passion. So, sitting at the top spot, from whoever gamer i asked, would definitely be the minority of gamer babes. (true story, that moment that stood still when someone said she's a girl. and everyone tries their best to impress her. Hilarious, but cute.)

And Lastly you'll never know when you have to lead, that i will have to swear, because as a follower of flows, i never thought i could pull something off and take leadership and i even managed to turn the table (probably they're low ELO) and that sense of achievement, respect and acknowledgment you earn, it's priceless. It really is. And as the guy who plays "the hooker" It's not easy fishing something out there, but i swear, the good victorious moment, it makes all the practicing seems worth it. You know it too, deep down in your heart, that smirk when you pulled that stunt off and everyone, including your opponent was in awe. And the list could go and and on, so don't even get us gamers started on this. 

Whether are we going pro or not, I'm sure esports is something that gamers alike would support and would follow. I still remember the days when we'll host matches at my places and we'll watch our games 'live' over pizza and beer (thanks twitch TV). It's a good get together for gamers, i know we're watching games when we're not gaming. But c'mon, it's called esports for a reason, so you have to give us a break. And as much as how people can lament gaming as childish or time wasting or what-nots, well, all i can say to them is; you probably haven got that "gaming experience" yet. 

Yes, that beautiful priceless gaming experience.
So, go out there now. (wait, not out there, just on your computer will do) and...

Viddsee Short Films That You Definitely Have To Watch



Alittle shout out for Viddsee! a place where we could watch the best of short films where we can relate to.
As a fan of short film, and i swear i spend alot time having dinner over Viddsee's shorts!
and after watching most of it (i might add it more in the future), but here are some of the best (imo) that you should definitely watch(:
[FYI: films are not rank in order & you should really check out the rest of it]


32°C 深夜KK/32°C Fall In Love - Tan Seng Kiat




the actress is just too sweet. =P
i swear i would go down everyday if she's the cashier of my 7-11 LOL
anyways, not just the actress (FYI: Emily Chen) this sweet love shorts is not dark at all despite the robbery plot and is hilarious & sweet in all ways.
no doubt the winner of BMW Shorts. *thumbs up*


Gift - Daniel Yam


"being rich..
is not about how much you have..
but how much you give,
somehow, when you give..
you'll be happier"

a touching film, i swear i got all the goosebumps.
as much as our society shaped us,
we'd been living on wants instead of needs,
desires and never ending greed.
we're a papertown,
we're materialistic, 
we judge, and however despite the social stigma out there.
i always new there would be a beacon of hope out there somewhere,
making changes.

Thank you, Daniel Yam. 
For reminding us money is not everything that's out there.


The Girl From Tomorrow - James Lee


"Mankind needs dreams and imagination,
These are the basic tenets of science
Without dreams and imagination, the telephone won't exist..
internet too, we wont have airplanes, rockets,
And man won't be able to reach the moon... & we will not have moon cakes to eat"

Yet another cute and heart soothing film for a hopeless romantic like me.
A well pace short film that makes you fall in love with it before you know it,
and it's gone. A fleeting romance that hits right in the spot. So, do you believe in time travel?


Karang Guni - Anthony Chen


a heartwarming short film by Anthony Chen,
do i still need to say more?



The Rule Breakers [Class Fight] - Jaze Phua



definitely have to give this a go when you have a classroom, and a chio bu teacher :D (and there's yellow stone!)
good old days of beo-ing and getting into the good books and the whacky action shorts is definitely worth watching. But why pick up the ruler? wait for her to bend down ma!
Now who's up for some staple bullet gun fight?


Mobile Love Van - Png Zhen Yu



A touching story makes you at the sleazy night scene the other way.


The Gang - A Kelvin Sng Short Film



a cool 30 mins action packed gang film with the familiar faces for all the gangster fans out there!
sit back & enjoy(:


******
and there's that.
if i could, i would love to make one too dammit
&yes i wanna have cup noodles tmr :3

Why You Should Listen to Something New?



As a person who listens to a wide genre of music, 
i'm always caught in awkward situations when i'm recommending something exotic, or when my itunes shuffles hits something foreign.
It's either they go "whatttttt~" or i'll ended up having to switch to a more "human" track, like Titanium (can never go wrong with titanium)

Call it stereotypical, call it social stigmas,
but we know most of us revolve around that few genre of music in society these days.
Long gone are the days for classicals, 
There're loads of genre of music around, and if you haven't try them all or you're saying you're not a music person,  
trust me, you're missing out in life.
& here're some more benefits to give you reason to try out something new!


Reduce Blood Pressure
Music, helps reduce blood pressure, studies had shown that a 30 mins dosage of classical, celtics or raga music can help reduce high blood pressure.

Improve Creativity
Music is the sweet spot for creativity, i'm sure you know it too(:
And there's a whole string of benefits for creativity that goes down to it.

Gets you moving
Music will keep you moving, motivated, or maybe spur you on another extra set of cardio
This Study showed that cyclists who listened to music required 7% less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence.

Stretch Boundaries
You'll feel good, having trying out more music genres, and if you finally found a friend who share you taste, trust me, you guys will be talking like long lost friends before you know it.

You'll People Watch Better
Sounds totally weird, but having opened up to more genre of music, you'll obviously have more emotional perspective when it comes to life, and back to the creativity point, and it's a really useful lifeskill for saving a dying conversation that's going nowhere.

Music is Culture
Classical Music, Foreign Music, Folklores or House music they all begets culture. Be it listening to soprano in a threatre in venice, listening to broadway, going to the ultra music festival in Seoul or heading to tomorrowland. Culture is one significant add-on that makes music special, and you can never deny that.

Your Brain always Embraces something new
When interacting with something new and out of your comfort zone, as foreign as it seems, your friend will associate perspective to it, love it or hate it as you may, but you deserve a medal for trying something new

& here's 2 more points from Eastday that i felt that it's useful to share~

Music improves memory performance
The power of music to affect memory is quite intriguing. Mozart's music and baroque music, with a 60 beats per minute beat pattern, activates the left and right brain. The simultaneous left and right brain action maximizes learning and retention of information. The information being studied activates the left brain while the music activates the right brain. Also, activities which engage both sides of the brain at the same time, such as playing an instrument or singing, cause the brain to be more capable of processing information.


Music enhances intelligence, learning and IQ
The idea that music makes you smarter received considerable attention from scientists and the media. Listening to music or playing an instrument can actually make you learn better. And research confirms this. 


---

So why just let music defines you when you can return the favor?
go out there, try some new genre and who knows, maybe it'll shape who you are, change how you see things, or maybe a huge load of undiscovered goodies out there. 
treat it as a journey of self discovery and i'm sure this is something that you'll never regret. YOLO~

here's one whole album to get you going.

Siri Nilsen is a very talented Norwegian singer & songwriter who also can plays the ukulele, guitar and piano. Do give her Folk and Pop songs a go (:

tick tock:4am in Singapore. (a male's perspective)



It's 4.05am in the morning,
& i'm absolutely awake, running on my reserve brain juice as epiphany likes to slap me at times like this.
Just a type out of what it's like 4am in Singapore. (a male's perspective)

[it's just a random piece that i'd managed to finish about a short story of a guy struggling at 4am in Singapore.]
nevertheless i'll be thankful if you can relate to that.
yes, days like this. (so either you get it, or you don't)
& please pardon my fucking mistakes.

alittle scream out to the introverts out there.
you're not fucking alone. (no pun)



It's 4.06am in the morning,
You looked at your wrist watch laying at your desk,
You stared into dead screen as it slowly transit to your blank screen saver.
You moved your mouse, keeping your screen alive as if trying to keep you the same way again.

You looked at the mess on your table,
the receipts from afew nights ago, the loose change which you dug out half heartedly from your worn out jeans as you scrambled into you room while trying to take off the skinny jeans which you wore the other night trying to impress the girls, and you swore some change ended up under your bed which you'll get it next time.
You stared at your facebook page, as if hoping for something to happen,
nope. nothing's gonna happen.
loneliness took over, as you looked around for whoever's online, hoping there's someone who share the same cold.
you took up your phone, scrolling instagram as some infamous youtube cover droned on in an long random playlist and the occasional clicks of your favorites by the suggestion bar.

Fuck, you did not just clicked that break up song.
You opened yet another word document, not for your school work, but for your unnecessary emotional scribbles.
As your break up song reach it's bridge, you closed your eyes, and breathe, feeling the cool wind flowing from the oscillating fan, only to be greeted by the god damn smell of the haze that made you to put off your running routine that you picked up a few weeks again.
You pinched your half flabby leg muscle, as you cursed silently.
You just picked up the momentum and now it's all go up to smoke.

You clicked at the youtube's home page now, scrolling through what's hot, recommended, and decided to watch a few trailers.
Yes, you can't wait to watch the new captain america movie, but you'll have to find a date for that.
Regrets starts filling in your head again as you reminisce the good time, the box of movie ticket filled to the brim, which is kept in another box and she always have no idea what the hell is with your obsession with boxes, but nevertheless still loves and accept you for who you are and watches geeky superheroes film with you, like how you do the same and went through the vow with her sobbing on your shirt.
After afew random videos, you ended up clicking on a thumbnail with boobs, only to find yourself watching something totally, stupid, ridiculous and unrelated.

You opened up several chat sites.
"Hi, ASL?"
"hey babe! not sleeping?"
After next-ing afew desperadoes who can't even type properly because they have their dicks in their hands, you gave up,
only to find yourself shaking that stupid chat app which you download just for the sake of looking at girls and saving their photos because you'd got no balls to talk to them.
You click who's near you, and you found some babes within your league, and fingers crossed, you sent them some greetings.
10 minutes after the indication of them having read you message but didn't reply, you knew something was wrong.
fuck that. girls are sluts anyway.

Too lonely, you went for the ultimatum as you hit that porn site.
A huge sigh of relief hit you as it's not snuff up & blocked yet.
You clicked afew videos, opening them in new tabs, legs shaking with excitement as you peered out of your room making sure that everyone's asleep.
You reach for your half tangled Beats, plugging it in excitingly and before you know it, the moans of the japanese school girl filled your ears.
Sensational.
You always make sure you have some fucking Kleenex within your grasp.

Still awake, you went up, dump your kleenex down the toilet bowl as you used to keep it in the thrash can in your room and the smell of semen would reek.
You decided to take a pee as well and wash your dick for good measure.
After hitting the flush button, you looked at the mirror,
You try convincing yourself that you are not that bad,
if not for that crooked teeth,
if not for that pimple beside your nose
if not for that screwed up hair cut you got because you deserve it for saving on haircuts
if not...
you sigh and drag your feet back into your room, slumping down back onto the chair.

You opened up your games,
ahh, what could ever go wrong when you're cruising in paradise city,
or throwing fucking shurikens, or gunning down zombies.
there's always a retry option, and you know your fucking AIs will always get your back.
haven't you always aced in that dating sim game?
& you ponder what actually went wrong.

mind drifting, you're back to the meaningless scrolling of feeds again, before heading to summoner's rift.
You called for MID, only to find some loser who's awake somewhere else in this sunny island insta-locked (instantly choosing a champion, and locking in) Ahri on you because;
1. he might have a bad day
2. he's just a fucking troll
And it ended like the latter when the nexus blows up with the red-lit defeat scowling at you.
You cursed at your fate.

Your torrent had a notification popping up just when you're attempting mental suicide.
"shion 0201 -snis091 has finished downloading, click here to open file"
you watched in awe but you're too tired for round 2, so you KIV it with a smirk in your face.
& you wished you have a girl like that. For you would not be succumbing to meaningless sex with your left hand.

You looked at your finished torrents, the endless list of porn and movies that you wanted to watch but put it off.
You'd got a hell lot to backlog.
but you close it anyway, there's always another day for this.
You're back in youtube again, opening some mix tape.
It's time for some Calvin Harris therapy as you always hope to find love in hopeless place.
Oh that girl in the elegant black glittery one piece dress you met at Zouk,
God, she's so cute. (pretty, beautiful, you bet she's got a kind heart even thou she grind with other guys)
you regretted again, not taking her number.
And there's the other one, that poly girl with a pony tail which you didn't "take" because your friend wants her.
A little part of you died inside as you saw them making out as your friend attempts to hi-5 you behind her back.

You're disappointed at yourself and you decided to make up afew more rules for yourself which you might not follow or even remember tomorrow.
"fuck, next time see chio bu i chiong liao"
"next time must have balls talk to them first"
"ah, i have the book right, the jio zhar bo book. next time take out read liao"
how many next time do you have?

But did anyone remember the good deeds you did in silent?
how you offered a sobbing girl a pack of tissue,
or how you carried a drunk girl out of the club in the least obscene way possible which prevent her from sleeping with a jerk, who might go raw on her because he have a "jiao bin" (cock face) and because he can't hold back his fucking cum so she might be sitting outside some clinic crying and slapping herself while waiting for her turn for abortion?
Fuck, you drew a conclusion: Nice guys finish Last.

You got up, took a stick of winston reds with you and grab your lighter as you head out of your room.
You traced the familiar steps along the dark living room,
You pushed open the window and lit up your stick.
You sucked it all in, as you felt the nicotine kicked into your blood stream, inhaling all of the irony dosage of poison which stood by you in times of need.
You looked out at the dark block of HDB opposite as you slowly exhale,
Tracing the little windows "boxes" with lights still on, you always wondered about their life, about their story.
Which you would never find out.

You saw a seem to be "bra-less" girl standing by the window, 2 blocks away from you,
in her oversize tee, taking a smoke.
You swore you saw her nipples as boy did she not expect some loser to be out smoking by the window still.
You looked at her so hard that you might actually burn a hole through her face, but before you know it, it's game over when you didn't manage to get her attention in a stick's time.
She's too busy with her cell phone anyways.
Dammit! you curse and flick your stick down, while you looked at the swirling light descend down before tumbling into darkness as the miniature flare extinguished upon the impact.

You're back at your computer again, meaningless.
You ignore your imaginary check list of works, you might not even finish typing that emo rant that you opened just now.
what do you know? procrastination is your best friend.
You looked at your wrist watch, which is still laying in the same position,
it's 10 minutes after 5, tick tock
Here we go again...

It's tough.
Yes, nights like this,
it's really tough...

After the Dark Movie.

Was really bored, and i decided to get a watch on one of the movies that i'd found while idly surfing the net.
totally underrated,
totally unknown to many,
totally intelligent
totally exciting
not that i was on the edge of my seat,
but it'd got this disturbing itch that makes you stayed till the end.
beautiful film never the less,
& i would totally like to have a go staying at that bunker :D

here's the movie



not that i'm very much philosophical or anywhere near there.
but things like that got me thinking alot,
"would you sacrifice 1 man to find a cure for cancer?"
"how about killing a man with a gun so that he wont murder a familiar 1 week later"
ethics?
i don't know,
the weird way of live that paved us and shaped us over the years and philosophy like us doesn't bother us with presence of ipads and macbooks.
not saying apple is bad, i love apple actually :D
and other all general gadgets of course.
for the better of mankind,
or not?

anyways i manage to find the full movie to the show and if you would like a watch;



& you're very much welcome.
