Dear bloggie,
Had my chance to play both RPG recently... While I onli 1/2 thru in Fallout: Las Vegas, here my potshot on both games.
Excellent RPG both... But if I had to pick, common... Sexbot, The F word, Ghoul, Rangers, Paladin, Soldiers, Legions, Guns and Lasers, Super Mutant, Las Vegas... Bring it on, Fallout: Las Vegas.
A rough comparison on both games... Both games has a huge world map... It really feels like your transported into another island or world. Skyrim has I feel the bigger world map, it feels the size of Selangor. However this does raises one problem, too much empty figures. Not everything has a quest or etc, hence these houses, statues, NPCs, etc are just there to make up this virtual reality world. While I feel in terms of interaction, Skyrim has more things to interact with, but in terms of quality Fallout has more interesting interaction.
Skyrim uses Radiant AI to try to make their NPC more "alive". NPC in Skyrim not just stand fixed at one spot... They will move around, they will eat, sleep, drink, hunt, etc... More "alive" but still fails to simulate as if these NPC are real peoples. Fallout however takes a slightly different approach to make the NPC "alive". Fallout NPC has way less AI, usually limited to stand at spot X and when night, go bed to sleep. Fallout however tries to bring these NPC to life with better voice acting variation, unique model face and creative dialog script. A problem in Skyrim is alot of NPC reuse the god damn same face model! I can't really recognize who da f*ck is who due to this. The usage of voice elements like slang and tone, can really give a feel that your really talking to a life person. Hence the f*cking reuse of voice for the NPCs, reminds you that you really playing a game.
As for quests, both games are after all RPG and suffers from "Go A, Go B, Go C" feel. However it's the cover story which hides this issue. Skyrim quests are perhaps abit boring in my opinion... Too serious perhaps? Fallout quest story however has a touch of sarcastic humor which leads to a better gaming experience. For instance there's a quest in Fallout which requires you to pimp for 3 exotic prostitutes. A cowgal ghoul, a suave man that can provide a "boyfriend" experience and a sexbot!? Imagine getting rob by 3 grannys wielding "baking bat" dressed in a summer dress... A nutcase Caesar wannabe that after killing his foes, booby traps the place so "someone" (which is you) gets a nasty surprise when one loots the death body.
As for combat, Skyrim 3D approach still SUX... Fallout is 3D but adds VATS elements into the fray... Still sux however, sux less onli... Inventory however is overload for both games. Skyrim continues it's tradition that everything (almost) is an item practice. From books, bread, barrel, plates, spoon... F*CK! Fallout however has less of this crap. However after playing for a while, the inventory management tend to be a very tedious task. Quest items mixed with your weopon, armour, etc and throw in the loot items... My philosophy in inventory management is if you're not using it just sell it away.
Besides combat, there is also sub skills in both games. You can in simple layman language "create item". Skyrim wins in tis aspect as you can create potions, enchant item, up weapon and armour, cook new items, etc... The combination is pretty huge, as you can really create a unique weapon or armor. In Fallout however, items tend to stick to a template item. You can add some customize, but it's rather limited in my opinion as these customization items are rare and expensive to purchase.
As for gameplay feel, Skyrim is the ancient knight and mage feel while Fallout is more post apocalypses modern highwayman feel. Overall, I based my verdict on the simple fact, I had more memorable moments in Fallout compared to Skyrim. I mean, getting f*cked by a sexbot really makes you LOLed...
Dear bloggie,
Watched alot of nice mobies lately... Tis is a great local one I just watched....
Acting was acceptable, theme interesting and script awesome....
"When historians of the future look back at the 21st century there's no doubt in my mind that social networking will be one of those great inventions that they will claim changed the landscape of civilization. They will look at viral marketing and say how it changed the landscape of advertising. They will look at Obama and talk about how it won an election. They'll look at Egypt and comment how it overthrew a government. The act of sharing information on facebook & twitter has changed the way we communicate with each other. And by doing so, it changed the way we form relationship with one another as well as how we react when those relationship dissolve. Take the relationship status in facebook for example, we can tell the entire world whether or not we're single, in a relationship, engaged, married, divorce, widow or whatever we want. We can even tell the world it's complicated... But here's my question, isn't every relationship complicated?" - David, Relationship Status
Tis is awesome writing in my book... Anyway, wat I like about the movie is besides the script is the issue on how modern day relationship has been affected by social networking. It raises some valid point on both the pros and cons of social networking. Midway through the film it raises a question:
"When a relationship is ruined due to social networking... Can we really blame it on social networking?"
My thought was perhaps rather inline with the conclusion of the movie... Which is social networking is just a platform/technology/tool. If there's one to fault, the first one we should look at is our self.
I also like is while each character has their own relationship story, they were sorta linked to each other indirectly like a social networking web (A fren of a fren etc). Sorta cool since it's after all a film on social networking.
While I sorta think the movie could be better with some better cinematography (Some really odd camera angles). Overall a great and steady movie. A recommended watch.

Dear bloggie,
My paling suka punya song in the movie "Fighter"...
About Today - The National
Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say
How close am I to losing you
Tonight you just close your eyes
and I just watch you
slip away
How close am I to losing you
Hey, are you awake
Yeah I'm right here
Well can I ask you about today
How close am I to losing you
How close am I to losing
When this song played during a scene, it really heighten the emotion the scene is trying to convey... Probably the most dramatic scene in my opinion...
Interview with the director...

Dear bloggie,
An rather awesome movie in my opinion. The story was okay, but the MMA fight scene is highly entertaining.
Brendan, a physics teacher that is forced to return to the cage to compete in MMA competition "Sparta" to save his family from bankruptcy.
Tommy, a ex marine that enters the "Sparta" competition for the $$$ to aid his RIP marine "brother" family.
Paddy, a trainer whom's alcoholism problem leaded to his shattered family relationship.
So here comes the complex part of the story... Paddy is the father of Brendan and Tommy. Each has a forgiveness issue... Paddy from his 2 sons, Brendan from his younger brother Tommy and Tommy from himself... Half of the movie focuses on the these 3 characters with their estranged relationship. Their inability to forgive is perhaps the part which builds the drama element across the movie. The other half, on the "Sparta" competition where we get some awesome MMA fights. We even have a guest appearance from Kurt Angle!
It boils down to 2 brothers, settling their differences in the cage... Fist and body... Sometimes when words fails, the physical body is a amazing way to communicate...
