Firstly I was not very active and didnt post a blog for quite some time my exams where going on so I didnt had time. Well finally I have completed all my papers of Btech and now I am leaving for my job on 26th to a place just near Mumbai so I might not be around for say for a month I will get a new PC over there leaving the current one for my parents and my 360 I will give it to my brother I have bought another PS2 which is all mine.

Yeah part of the reason for being inactive was my Pc, it was broken so I upgraded it. I bought a AMD athlon 4800+ (X2 series) with 2 GB Ram now I was going for 7800 GTX as GPU it was for 4600 Rs last time I checked its really cheap. But now hen I checked in Rashi perhiperals (the leading computer distributor of India) dropped the Geforce 7 seires and their slaes man was fooling me saying that 8400 Gs is near abt 2-3 time stronger than 7800 GTX and he said there is no reason to get a Geforce 7 thats really bad. I was settling for 8600 GT but its price is 6000Rs+ tax and I defintely know that its still not better than 7800 GTX when we get in DX 9. IMO it has bad value for money. I really dont know why Rashi dropped Geforce 7 series it was a good series and after price drop a lot of people were gonna purchase it. Know i have gone out of PC gaming once more. I mean how much can I play with my onboard 6150, and my laptop has 8600 but its being a laptop the performance is not very good.

Now the good part is that the prices have come down, so did get the whole upgrade for only 8600 INR I swapped it for my old PC. But still the GPU part was frustrating searching the market and there were a lot of stupid dealer pushing crappy products to me.

I have been through few games in my free time after exams I have been through DMC4, GTA4 and Mass Effect. Among them I have completed Mass Effect and it was really a great experience there were technical glitches and they were more in the end wer there were huge areas and a lot of enimies came by but still the game looked excellent and it was not that much frustrating but still even with glitches the game is great and I think the PC version will be better since Unreal Engine performs well on it and Bioware is also making improvements to the game. But in my view the game deserves something higher than 8.5 its easily 9 even after glitches. The best part of the game was the story line and I think it probalby has the best story in any of the 360 titles. It truly epic and second comes the graphics since they are really great, the frames issues is in the heavy fight sequences other than that the exploration part, a lot of which you will do is great it doesnt has frames issue even texture issues are less prominent there.

Also I been through Dark Sector this game is really good. I was not expecting it too be this much entertaining it doesnt deserves 7.5 it should be 8.0 easily. The puzzles are said to be bad by gamepsot but they are really good. The puzzles of the game are much better than what i had in Tomb raider. They are not Half Life 2 quality but still they are good. The graphics in particular are awesome and by awesome I mean they are one of the best of the 360 you can keep this game as graphical showcase like Assassin, Gears, COD4 and DMC4. Textures are better than Bioshock and COD4. The games lacks aesthetics but it really comes near to its concept art. Yeah but Bioshock looks better than Dark Sector since the environment is same and Bioshocks world is full of beautiful things. But still Dark Sector looks great and runs hassle free. So far I have loved the game. The score is also great. The boss battles come without any message or anything but they really awesome. The down point is some wired cutscenes like you drop from some place and get to the next level of the game are making this game like a last gen game but they are few.

Anyways I think the blog has been to long so I am cutting it out here.

1.) I am 24 years, I live in a town Raipur which has mixed urban and village localities, its capital of State Chattigarh of India.

2.) I was a body building aspirant eariler during my Diploma days when I was just 19 my specs where ( weight:72kg, Arms:14", Waist:31" and Chest:41"), now when I am co0mpleting my gradution I am like a gaint who eats a lot and does moderate excercise, Muscular but little Chubby specs now ( weight:91 kg, Arms:17.5", Waist: 36", and Chest: 46.5")

3.) I have failed once during my Diploma where I lossed intrest in studies and got bad marks and completed the diploma in more than regular time. Failing badly in diploma was the main reason to give up body building. But from then I worked as hard as I could for studies.

4.) I am good in organizing fight (rebels), I had orgainised 30 students and my mates from Hostel organised 90 students and we took on the house of the corrupt principal of our college who ate 200 million Rs. (6 million US$ approx) of the institute we went to his home shouted throwed stone then throwed two mortar one in his garden and one in his home and then burned the a** holes car.

Yeah he was so freakin afraid that he ran away the 2nd day. We also were not caught up by the police since college professor were on our side and we outnumbered the local police staion by 1:6.

Some say it was criminal offense but I say it was revolting against corrupt officer he asked fro it and so he got it. Mulitiplayer mayhem.

5.) I am more passonate abt arts and literature than technology, but both are equally intereting to me. Also I beleive that the young genration (we) is perfect we surf net to gain knowledge and are tecno savy i.e do stuff that our parent thought were only of experts or tecnician. We are more liberal in our view abt community, castes, Religion and other nations that the old genration was.

Also I would like to add to my 5 th point that I am firm belief in meditation like you lift dumbells and barbells for making muscles to make your body stonger, meditation in the same way makes mind stronger. I choose it I didnt realised it instantly but in ay 6 years it changed a lot I mean I had muscles but this thing gave me the balls to speak libreally in front of crowd of 100 people or a superior officer I just give what they own.

Hi,

Today may GATE( Pre PG emtrance) results were announced my result was 87.54 percentile (not percent), which is a sort of good and bad I mean its good but its the point where you start missing IIT's and some good branches of major NIT's are left out. I already have a placement at Ispat stell (M.L. Mittal group firm) as an Engineer.

So I am confused to go for job or get more qualified I can definetly get good seats in some NIT's which are still good but not like others I mentioned. So far I have quered a lot of people most of them saying me to go for higher studies saying that benifit will be in long run and others say you will start gaining money and experience from right now. I have decided to go for higher studies if it preferable yeah but promotion benifits are definetly there in long run. Lets hope for the best. IF anyone of you ( My Indian friends probably) have any ideas abt some good institute near you please tell me. My branch is Mechanical but I am free to take Mtech in any stream which is even a little relevant to my branch.

Other than this there is one samll problem I have a girl in my college whom I talk a couple of times recetnly, she was a good student so i joined her in my orkut account now whenever I see her she looks to me like I am begining to like her though I am not adn by her looks she definetely has some intentions. She is in Girls Hostel and all the girls of Hostel are whispering behind me I have seen it many times and my friends too. She most of the time keeps looking at me in the class, I am getting annoyed by this. She had not addmitted anything so I cant say anything abt this to her instantly but this is looking bad to me.

Ravi_1900 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Ravi_1900 possibly have for not rating a single film?
