Prototype [Preview]

One of the AWESOMESSSSST game I ever played. Prototype lets you control a character named Alex Mercer, a guinea pig for GENTEK's experiment. However he managed to escape in the middle of the game. So, what's so interesting about Prototype?

Compared to other games, you can have free roam with a restricted areas accessibility base on the mission level map. While in free roam, you can either continue your quest on whatever needed to be done or you can roam around town causing havoc. At this point, police officers and soldiers are your enemy and civilians are just your mere victims.


I can be Spiderman!

During combat, you can perform many stunts and fighting combo base on your preference. You might like to carry up vehicles to throw on the Strike Team helicopters, or climb up high and jump on the helicopters and so on. Shape shifting also features you to combat in different situations. As the story advances, you gain more EP by killing, destroying and completing missions which enables you to buy more skills.

I can KAME-HAME-HA!
(Actually is just carrying burnt down car)

In this game, you are just a stand alone protagonist which chases his past to know what had happened to him. Besides by just completing your main missions, there are other side quests for you to earn more EPs and be as powerful as you can.

I'm STRONG!

Compared to Assassin Creed, Prototype provides much more adventurous mission whereas, Assassin Creed just makes you run to the same town to assassinate your subject. Well, if you are the type playing Assassin Creed, you might like Prototype as well. So, don't miss out this game!

Bye bye... GTG!

Internet Connection Sharing: ICS with Celcom 3G

OS: Windows Vista
HOW TO CONNECT TO INTERNET WITH 2 PCs WITHOUT ROUTER/SWITCH.

Having 3 hours ++ for me to manage to fully set up a shared network connection from laptop to my desktop, here's a simple guide for those who wants to establish PC - PC - Internet connection. Anyway, I'm still waiting for my ISP to fix up a line to use Streamyx.

All you need is to have a LAN cable to connect from your host PC to a client PC. For me, I set my laptop as a host and my desktop as a client.

FIRST: You'll get 2 types of network. From the image below, the network highlighted in blue is network that connects your HOST-PC to your CLIENT-PC. The network highlighted in red
is network that connects you to the internet. Since that my 3G is connected through my K630i 3G phone, I am able to make 3G connection without using dial up, unlike other USB modems which needs dial up function to connect 3G.


SECOND: To establish internet sharing, right click on your Internet Network and select "Properties". On the pop up window, select "Sharing"tab. Tick the box below Internet Connection Sharing and at the drop down menu, select the LAN Network that you had setup. If this step is not setup properly, your client pc won't be receiving the internet connection from your host.


THIRD: Now, check on your client pc whether any internet connection is established. If it is still under local area network, go back to your host pc and diagnose your LAN Network. Choose "Reset Network Adapter" on the new windows. (This step had solved my three hours problem). Your client pc should display "Local and Internet" by now.


On your client pc, goto Start > Network and check whether "Internet gateway device" is shown or not. If it is not shown, there's a possibility which your setup had gone wrong and will not connect to internet successfully from the client pc.


Once your client is able to connect to internet, your network map should able to be displayed such as below.

If this guide can't solve your problem yet, please sent in your problem under comment section. Hope this provides better guide compared to what I had search from the web. None that gave me my solution.

Windows 8: Beyond Your Imagination

Yeap, I'm now back at my hometown with 24-7 of sleeping time.

Yet, due to the hype of Windows 7 concept in previous years, now comes the latest leak of Windows 7 build 7232. However, I'm currently having myself downloading the build 7229 as I still can't find the download for build 7232 yet. The difference between this 2 builds is just the matter of improve bug fix. It is also said that the wallpaper in build 7232 had been changed ... "Say no to fighting fish abuse!"


Here, I bring you a video of the new future arriving Windows 8 codename Midori...




(P/S: What you see on the above video is just your imagination...)
