Rule the world with Cuteness !

I remember playing Chrono Cross on Playstation 1 when I was 9 years old. Although I didn't get to complete this game, I remember the opening and music very clearly. Those were the times I went "WOW !" over this kind of CG.

In 2002 and 2004, I played both Final Fantasy X and X-2 on Playstation 2. Those were the time I went "WOW !" over this kind of CG.

Recently, Assassin Creed: Brotherhood E3 trailer was released and I went "HOLY SHIT !" after viewing it.

Not like these are the only games I have played. I have been playing video games since I was 6 years old and Sonic the Hedgehog been the very first game I played. After viewing the AC:BH CG trailer, it made me thinks about how things has change over the years. Graphics just keeps getting better and better, people just go "WOW !" every time something better has been created.

I remembered after playing Final Fantasy X for a few months, I went back to play Final Fantasy 9 on my Playstation 1. First thing I thought "Was the graphics this bad ?". No, it is not the graphics that was poor. It's the advancement that causes it to look bad. However, it was good back then. My brother and I would save the game right before a good CG scene and replay it many times.

It's just pretty amazing at how things advance. In the past, we were dreaming about it. Now, we have it. I posted about my feelings on modern games in some post a few months ago. If you are interested, perhaps you would like to dig through my blog archive. Now, maybe I would just replay some of the games which I didn't complete in the past using a emulator. I played them when I was a little kid, the gameplay and music is can be easily remembered. I do not understand most stories of the game I have played though.

To me, video games are truly works of art. Some may disagree with me. However, do not just look at the game itself, look behind the scene and think of the effort put into the game. The music trying to bring out the theme of the game and scene, trying to blend into it. Shiny graphics doesn't make a good game. Sometimes a decent game can be a good one after thinking about it. It adds more fun to the game than just playing it. However, do not bother thinking about it if the game is just horrible. Sometimes, it just seems that the developer are not sincere in making the game. Company have to earn profit in order to survive and continue, that is a fact. Everyone needs money who doesn't ? However it seems there is some guy who just think that video games are only tools for making money. Never a work of art or entertainment, how disappointing.....

AECAM and AL is done for today ! AECAM was alright although I panicked at the end because I can still see some uncut material. However, I think it's a graphical glitch because I cannot see the same material that was left uncut when I change the angle of the model. Hopefully I can get a near full mark for that.

AL test is just horrible. I was surprised that there were actually question I can actually do. However, whenever I answer the questions, the feeling "I'm right ?" sucks. Also, there were some questions I know how to do but I just can't remember it, that kind of feeling sucks too. I hope I can pass, I guess I will just have to try harder for the exams. It's tough but life isn't interesting if it's not tough. =D

I have been quite busy lately that I have not played the piano. I just did that it's horrible. My skills have become rusty and I forgot how to play certain parts. I will spend the entire day tomorrow after school playing the piano.
