I have been lucky enough to share a house with a fellow who has a PS3 and is as passionate about games as I am, though our tastes in gaming differ. Hes a more Smakdown Vs RAW, Unreal Tournament kinda guy where as I enjoy more strategy based games like Tom Clancy's EndWar.
Which brings me to why I am writing this post. I have been following the trail of a particular game since they announced it. Why you would ask – just coz it just plays to the carnal instincts of every gamer :D.. the urge to bash up ur opponent in the most brutal yet most beautiful way possible. hehe .. sounds insane but trust me i have never had anyone who played it and say they dint enjoy it. The game I am talking about is Street Fighter IV. Watch the gorgeous trailer to see for yourself :)
The plot is simple choose a character and beat each other to pulp. I mean its soo darn simple the game but it gives hours over hours of game play. i mean its soo soo good at what it achieves that they haven't changed the core elements of the games from when it started. They just made it a more beautiful stylised version with a hint of 3D. The character models are gorgeous and the effects and animations smooth as butter. It is in my opinion truly drool worthy and the best part is that the characters say stuff in Japanese i think it is and you have no idea what it is .. but you enjoy they saying it while they do their really crazy moves. This is truly what makes having a games console worth all the money. Cant wait to get my hands on it on February 20th when it releases here. so get ready .. and FIGHT !
Update: apparently theres a movie based on the game being released about the same time called Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. mm after seeing the trailer im not too thriled about the movie. I liked the last Street Fighter movie with Jaun Claud Van Dam, way back from 1994.
Something far more worring than what i discussed in my last post - is the coming general elections in India. Oh and what wonderful prospects we have to look forward to. Think Narendra Modi. The fellow is all set to come to power as the new PM if BJP wins. <gulp> . My former batch mates from engineering have been having a heated discussion on the prospect of if Modi would be a good fit for leading our nation for the next 5 years. Some of them argue that the current leadership isn't doing any good and that BJP under Modi would be a good thing. They point to how Modi has stimulated a lot of growth in the slumping Gujarat economy and turning the state around with a whopping 11% growth rate, which is far higher than any state in the country. If that is I can over look his massive miss management of the Godhra incident. The trouble is that things like the Mangalore pub incident will happen more often under lets say the Modi era not because Modi will organize it but because he might turn a blind eye to it or maybe even sympathize with it. I mean what ever my batch mates might tell me about about Modi being 'secular' he wont be able to disapprove of all the assholes who carry the Sena badge on them, because it is on that ticket that he came to power. Will be very difficult for him being a right wing Hindu leader. If he ever does take any stern action
People like the Sri Rama Sena(assholes) have the guts to do a ghastly act like beating up women and dismiss the incident saying
Whoever has done this has done a good job. Girls going to pubs is not acceptable. So, whatever the Sena members did was right. You are highlighting this small incident to malign the BJP government in the state (TOI)
just because they know that it is their govt in power in the state and that they might go home free just because they campaigned for the govt to get in power. Now the state govt will take action, at least to appease the masses but you have to remember the fellows have to go back to the Sri Rama Sena(assholes) later during elections to gather some vote and campaign for them. So they wont do the full deal of justice.
I am not against Modi per se. Nor am I against BJP. In fact I applaud the fact that they were the ones who did do some concrete things in the past (things like The Golden Quadrilateral, The Nuclear tests to name a few )All I'm saying is that which ever govt comes to power should have the balls to take fast and strict action against hoodlums of Sri Rama Sena(assholes), the Shiv Sena(retards), the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena(shittards) and all the other fake fucking Senas out there from doing ghastly shit like this.
If the BJP were to chuck all this shitty baggage that they are carrying and clean up their act , which I suppose is a near impossible task for them to get done. They would be a good governing body for our country. But that will so not happen coz just like the US elected dubya to office twice as he was a right wing Christian with a stem cell grudge and gun pride, the majority voting population in India is the poor farmer who doesn't really care about what ever shit that is happening in major cities .. maybe not because he cares or maybe because he doesn't know - will vote for the sena gang !
may the good lord have mercy on my great country !!
It so seems that we Indians have an insatiable appetite for terrorism. Its not enough that outsiders come and terrorise us, that we create our own crop of terror in the form of the ever growing fake custodians of Indian culture aka the Sena Gang. Of late we have been hearing a lot about our own Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (Navnirman, right, I think they might be taking a cue from the US forces – destroy a country first to rebuild it better). They have been busy sticking it to Pakistan buy bullying a shop with the name Karachi sweets. Oh I get it, boycott everything with a Pakistani name on it and maybe the terrorists will not have any sweets to eat when they come back for some more terror.
But now there's a new kid on the block, desperate to get some media attention, prove that they are the in crowd - meet the Shri Ram Sena. This might be what they were talking about before the incident. Hey you know what lets got beat up some north Indians like the MNS did. Mmmm cant find any of those buggers so lets go get a beer maybe we’ll get to molest some girls at the local pub too. Oh wait did I say molest, I meant show them what is expected out of an Indian Naari and teach them a lesson in Indian culture. Ahh a beer, hey look there are the girls, but dude she isn't wearing anything obscene. Well as long as she isn't wearing a burkha, i mean a sari with the palluu covering her face its obscene. So lets go molest them any way. But dude wont we get are asses thrown in jail. Naahh are you kidding after what I did for them in the last election and besides we are doing it for the sanctity of the Indian culture we can even get away with rape but lets just start with some molestation. I mean lesson in Indian culture. and the rest you can watch here
Now try and compare the image in the last paragraph to the one below
If you cant figure out its part of a footage captured by RAWA, of a member of the Taliban's religious police beating a woman in Kabul. The Taliban claimed that their aim was to create "secure environments where the chasteness and dignity of women may once again be sacrosanct". Does that sound eerily familiar? All this makes me think – How does the worlds largest democracy do the same god awful things that creeps like the Taliban do ?
What angers me even more is that we have these sensational images running right across our TV screens for the past few days showing us the brutality of the attacks, young women being man handled and thrown to the floor as they desperately try to escape the clutches of these shittards, what the FUCK were the fellows shooting this doing ? why dint they call the police ? why dint they intervene ? why dint they use their camera to bang a few of these assholes? oh wait yeah my TRPs. How will I truly show the people of India the true horror. Hey if I intervene now i will miss all the juicey shots of this excellent ‘news story’ for ‘prime time’. I blame the media for being this irresponsible ! They are the ones who are giving undue publicity to these assholes.
As my good friend Abhishek said in his post, there are 2 things that we can do about these assholes:
1. Don't give them any attention or publicity.
2. Give them only negative humiliating publicity.
Joining in with what Abhishek is trying to do here my little contribution to the cause --assholes assholes assholes assholes assholes assholes assholes assholes !!
(to be continued...)So im bored, trolling through youtube and I hit gold. Well not gold just an addictive song. Can't get the lyrics outta my head, the chorus is just too addictive hehe . Go ahead and listen to it. :D
