Thirty

The day everyone has been talking about. It has been predicted that this day would bring good vibes and positive chi to everyone. It will also be the day that unicorns will be present and rainbows will shoot out from the sky in new shades of colors. The dirty number- XXX. (or the upsized number)

Oh hey, a rainbow!

Coming back to earth, I was so drowned last night with video game trailers, most of them were on the Playstation 3 platform, and some from the PC and PSP. It was the most frustrating feeling ever, since a lot of my favorite titles (and some promising titles as well) would be released late 2011! Could you people imagine the pain of waiting for that long? No? Well me either, as I am currently frustrated with the fact that first and foremost, I don't even own a Playstation 3, and second, I don't have enough money to buy myself one. Now how I could try to keep myself entertained (besides PSP and porn PC games), that I discovered last night as well.

PS2 on the PC ! 

Yeah yeah, I know, I might be a little bit too late on this but hey, It's a pretty sweet discovery for me. It's a bit complicated at first, pretty similar to the Playstation One emulator, bleem! It has a lot of geekishly alien language like the BIOS, the GPU's, clamp modes, cycle rates, and the list goes on and on. These terms might be pretty basic for a sex-deprived person (geek, in short), but hey, I'm the new guy here.

Anyway, It needs some thorough reading regarding the basic terms and procedures, but for the impatient ones, here's a basic video tutorial. It even shows a Final Fantasy X gameplay on the PC.

There's a lot to remember and do here before you could even play a decent game on the emulator, but It's worth figuring out. If it could allow us to play our favorite games from the PS2 all over again, who wouldn't? Some would cringe at the idea of going through all of these just to play games, but I love the challenge. The geek inside of me has emerged and will take no for an answer. This has to be done.

It may be the retro gamer inside of me, who never cared about the graphics as long as the storyline was great. People nowadays are more concerned of the graphics rather than the soul of the game, which is the story or concept. It's a must for the modern games, but it sometimes makes the game shallow. (just my 2 cents by the way, but yeah, who wouldn't swoon over great graphics, yeah?)

With this PS2 emulator, I just hope I could play my favorite titles here. Maybe 2 or 3 days would be enough for me to figure this whole thing out.

Oh, the blog title's Thirty just because it's 10-10-10 today, or XXX.

and one more other thing: I might be wrong with the geeks being sex-deprived and all. Some geeks do have... well.. hmm.. okay maybe I was still right.
