BioShocked!!!

BioShock, the game made by Irrational Games, by the same people who made System Shock, Terranova, System Shock 2, Thief series was lunched a few days ago. I've been watching it's progress while it's still in development. This was one of the game I would definitely play and enjoy. I've been a big fan of Looking Glass Studio and then Irrational Games.

The BioShcok activation problem in the news made me think of buying this again... I will NOT be buying this game with it's current activation system. Heck I would not be buying any game with an activation system. Chang a few hardware in my PC and I need to reactivate? What are they thinking? I'd be very very mad, if my TV would stop working when I changed my living room furniture; or if I moved my TV from living room to bedroom... What stupid lousy shit!

I have alot of old games, Doom, Doom2, System Shock 1/2, Terranova, Thief, UFO Defence, Shadows of the Empire, Dark Forces, etc. I've changed my hardware countless times since I bought UFO and I still install and play UFO about once a year. If I'm not allowed to play it after 5 upgrades, up yours! I'm not buying it. I'm very disappointed of you Irrational.

Merlion.... in Cupertino....

There other day when I drove through the Stevens Creek boulevard near the Valco Park, I suddenly had a deja vu experience... I saw the Merlion - the symbol of Singapore, on a street corner... but I didn't have time to whip out my cellphone to take a phone. What's hack, Merlion in California?

Today I happen to drive pass again, this time I'm prepared.
