American History Lesson with Red Dead Redemption

Check out this very interesting video on American history and how Red Dead Redemption relates to it Even though I'm Singaporean, I have read a lot of American history and while I'm not a genius, I have some knowledge. Rockstar games did do a lot of research before creating this game but the accuracy is remarkable as you will see in the video.

GTA San Andreas Gangnam Style

Keeping in topic with the Gangnam style videos, here is CJ from GTA San Andreas doing the Gangnam style.

 

Ok! I promise there will be no more Gangnam Style videos on my blog anymore..

GTA IV Gangnam Style

Title says it all...... Oh god, I never thought this will happen but they just had to. This song is gonna ring in my  head whenever I see Niko Bellic.

My Borderlands 2 Skill Tree

Did my own Borderlands 2 Skill tree. Will be playing Gunzerker as my main character and I'm gonna boost all his Gunzerking skills to be the ultimate dual-wielder! Some of the skills in the centre skill tree focus on reducing the cooldown to use the Gunzerking skill as well as prolonging it while it's activated.

I might consider tweaking it a bit when the game is out but I seem pretty satisfied with how it looks at the moment.

Do try out the Skill Tree Calculator to check out the skills available for each class and plan out your skill tree before the game is released.

Prince of Persia Movie Replicas

Didn't have anything new to post and no new purchases for quite a while so decided to post some pics of my Prince of Persia Dagger and Sword movie replicas.

The Dagger of Time

Black Shamsir of Dastan

I actually got these much earlier this year and was one of the missing items in My Collection slideshow.  I had packed them packed back into their boxes as I didn't have any space to display them. Still waiting for my own place where I'l have my own man cave all to myself. So they have been hiding in their boxes and I was too lazy to take them out when I was taking photos of my entire collection. But then recently, someone on a forum wanted to see pics of these so I got my lazy ass up and took them out.

Anyway here they are and seeing them in person after a long time, I forgot how good they look. These aren't cheap plastic toy replicas, they are made of real metal from United Cutlery.While they aren't designed to do fatal damage, kids shouldn't be playing around with them. 

The dagger is about 15 inches long and the sword is over 30 inches long. Both are designed to replicate the actual Prince of Persia Sands of Time movie props. The detail is awesome, from the tip right up to the handle.They even feel like the real thing and are pretty heavy.

They are back in their boxes for now. Can't wait to display them up on the wall!

Assassin's Creed meets Parkour

Some of you probably would have seen this video already but it's too cool to not post it here.


Yes, some of you may claim that it's not exactly how the Assassins move in the game but it's still a very awesome video and he got some skills. So stop hating and just enjoy! He might make another video if he gets 1 million views or something like that.

Max Payne 3 - Payne Thresholds

A couple of days ago, I posted about the new Max Payne 3 updates and I mentioned a new feature for Multiplayer: Payne Thresholds. I managed to get some game time in the past few days and got to see how this new feature works. 

The Payne Thresholds is basically a set of challenges that are available for a week. There are 4 levels you can achieve for each challenge; Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Complete these challenges and get rewarded with various amounts of XP depending on the level you reach. If you manage to complete the requirements for the platinum level, you will be rewarded with a unique title that earns you bragging rights. Considering this title is displayed beside your name whenever you kill someone in the game or when you are the top player in a match, you will demand respect from the other players.

Personally, I would have preferred the reward to be a unique custom for your character avatar. It would have been more prominent but what the heck, I'm don't think I'm gonna complete the tougher platinum challenges. Personally I find it too challenging though many out there would have breezed through them. Anyway, these challenges will be up only for a week before new ones will be released so hurry up and get them before they end. The XP rewards are quite substantial so even if you manage only to complete the silver and gold challenges, it's a good boost in your goal to reach level 50.

5000XP for gold is pretty good but I want that Juggernaut title. Not sure why the date states August 4 though, could be some bug.
