Selected April And May 2011 PS3 games: RECENT AND UPCOMING GAMES

Ready to know best upcoming title on PS3?

1. SOCOM 4 US NAVY SEALs (Move compatible)

19 April 2011 for Region 1. We are region 3 users

Great title for SOCOM fans. In SOCOM 4 you play as Cullen Gray, the Ops Commander on a five person NATO team, trying to stop a crazy revolutionary from destroying a waterway and taking over an unnamed Southeast Asia country. SOCOM 4 is a squad-based game with a few stealth missions. At approximately six hours, the campaign short, though that is unfortunately a standard length for a shooter these days. Whereas games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 take you all over the world, SOCOM 4 limits you to a small area with a lot of very similar levels.

2. Mortal Combat

19 April 2011

Mortal combat! Nothing much to say as we know it since nintendo console, so with new graphic engine you can unleashed your gore as God Of War games! Wait..Kratos also added to this title so you Must grab this one if you like Violence and Gore titles. Got story based, Versus , Mini game "Test your might" and online versus. Test your combo skills to the max!

3. Prince of Persia Classic trilogy HD

19 April 2011

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. All these remastered in HD 720p tough. Not much to say as it also available in PS2 but its in collection for PS3. Grab it Prince Persian Fans :)

4. Thor: God of Thunder

3rd May 2011

The levels in Thor focused heavily on larger-than-life combat. Primary attacks are melee and magic-based, with scripted "grapple" moves allowing players to get in close for particularly devastating maneuvers. The usual slate of experience-based upgrades is present here as well, and special objectives can be completed to accelerate the rate of character growth. Bosses typically featured an extra level of complexity, requiring players to strategically attack certainly weak points before going in for the kill.

5. Virtua Tennis 4 (Move compatible)

10 May 2011

Tennis Fans! This is like Virtua Tennis 3 but more characters and courts added. Realistic Sims. Designed to play with move controller to enhance your swing experiences. Almost like Ping Pong in Sport Move with better graphic engine and more freedom moves like rush to the net or stay as will. The fact here is if you have Move then grab this game if not, stick to VT3 as you have to use your dualshock3 :)

Its Been Ages!

2011..Welcome!

Sabahan Gamers Howdy? Well, now since PS3 got 3.55 pirated games, lots of original Bluray discs been sold back and guess what? ITS TIME FOR 2nd Hand PS3 BLURAY!! Looking foward for those COD in KK.

I've tried selling my games once in retailer, (Boooo!) only take the latest at higher price RM 70+ not more than that. Bought from RM 200-220 so we loss of (-RM 130) so cheap man! Instead if u trade it they take it for at least RM 100 each regards on r Bluray disc condition, manual books and casing. BUT...the game that you want maybe priced RM 200-280 (ridiculous price nowadays) will have no discount. YUP! you trade with no discount, 2 games traded plus RM 20-80 then u get what you wanted.

Now here is more preferable way. You get profits by your own! Sell it directly. www.mudah.my helps lot to advertise. Ok, basicly we buy it in high price and we expected to sell it in high price too. This ain't working. Uhuh, not working since lots of competition here guys. Found people sell they 2008 batch games as low as RM30 also takes very long time to be sold. Good price is RM 100-120 for new HOT games and RM 80-100 for those old HOT titles. OLD titles usually sold RM 70. These are the market price. For those selling it still in high prices it depends on your luck and have to wait longer except, you got fans and people willing to buy it and worth it.

Jailbroken PS3 3.55 firmware got all new games including GT5, Fight Night Champion, all these PS3 exclusive games HOT titles can be bought for RM 30 each. Sarawak price got RM 25 each and Peninsular they sell it for RM 20 since lot of competitions. Well, if you have fast connection, streamyx 2 Mg consider ok, and you can download it yourself! Be the forum member for free and download from selected threads and don't forget to DONATE :p www.ps3iso.com is one of them. Each files up to 6GB to 20GB. Well, cannot save in DVD of course it a Bluray 50GB capacity games Man! Save in your external drive and make sure it in FAT or FAT32 format so PS3 can recognize it.

Me, I do not jailbreak my PS3 because the jailbroken PS3 cannot access PSN, no friendlist, No trophy support and PS Home! Screw that if you are getting PS3 for gaming, But as old user i got lots of friends and trophies so not easy to say Good Bye for these features.

Glassy metals are tougher than steel?

2008-02-27T09:51:00.003-08:00

Researchers in the US have developed a class of materials that have the potential to be tougher than the best titanium or steel alloys, ranking them among the toughest known

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have shown promise in engineering for the past 15 years but have been let down by poor ductility, making them brittle and prone to fracture. But Douglas Hofmann, William Johnson and colleagues from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena have found a way of modifying the structure of BMGs so that their ductility increases significantly.

BMGs are like metals in that they contain metallic bonds and conduct, yet their atoms are disordered like glass. A disordered structure cannot contain defects, which means that BMGs should withstand high loads before fracturing. This is as least true when they are bent or compressed, but when they are pulled their poor ductility fails them — parts of the materials begin to slide past each other in “shear bands”, which grow quickly into cracks.

One way of improving ductility and avoiding cracks, which has been adopted by the California team, is to introduce elements in the hot, initial BMG alloy that will nucleate dispersed crystals or “dendrites” when finally cooled. These dendrites act as a barrier to growing shear bands, preventing them from every developing into cracks. Instead, pulling the composite BMG will simply produce more, small shear bands, allowing the material to stretch and withstand a greater load.

Khas For The Bebudak Bahas!!!

2008-02-27T09:51:00.000-08:00

Lots of Theories in Bahas Ala Parlimen Bahasa Melayu...Since its for BM so..
Ana lebih suka menulisnya menggunakan bahsa melayu ~p

Bahas Cukup mudah terutama Bagi Orang yang pandai bercakap. Jika orang tersebut tidak mampu membuka mulut atau bersuara sederhana kebawah, maka perkara tersebut boleh diatasi dengan latihan vokal. Vokaliser merupakan perkara yang paling remeh. Nak tahu apakah itu? Itulah perkara yang keluar dari mulut berkali-kali apabila dalam keadaan yang cemas. Contohnya, dalam Perbahasan, sebutan " Mmmm...." yang diungkapkan berkali-kali merupakan masalah vokaliser. Terdapat 3 kecenderungan perkara ini berlaku iaitu:

1. Blank & Black Out kerana terlalu nervous
2. Hilang keyakinan diri kerana terlalu nervous &ragu-ragu dengan fakta
3. Terlupa hujah kerana terlalu nervous

Oleh itu, kuncinya adalah jangan nervous. Baiklah orang yang pandai bercakap marilah kita berbahas.

Sebelum itu, terdapat beberapa peringatan kepada pembahas sekolah menengah kerana bahas peringkat ini amat terikat. Anda perlu untuk menjaga sopan-santun semasa berbahas. Anda harus menjaga tatabahasa. Anda juga mesti menjaga emosi. Apabila anda melanggar peraturan ini, maka anda tidak boleh menjadi pembahas terbaik.

Nak jadi pembahas terbaik?

1. Jalankan peranan mengikut masa yang ditetapkan.
2. Humor untuk menghibur. Kalau iyapun, biarlah humor yang ilmiyah.
3. Menjawap izin laluan dengan yakin sehinnga warga dewan merasakan soalan tersebut bagai
meludah kelangit jatuh kemuka sendiri.
4. Pakaian yang kemas dan rapi.
5. Menjaga adab perbahasan.

Jika anda tidak percaya terhadap ke-5-5 tips ini, anda bolehlah mencari sendiri.

OK, peranan tersebut merupakan peranan asas kertas konsep bahas ala-parlimen bahasa melayu sekolah menengah. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat banayk formasi yang memanipulasikan peranan-peranan tersebut. Itu akan saya tuliskan dalam artikle yang lain.

APAKAH ITU USUL, PREMIS & IZIN LALUAN?

USUL: merupakan tajuk perbahasan
contoh: "Kemalangan Jalan Raya Boleh Dibendung Dengan Hukuman Yang Lebih Berat"

PREMIS: merupakan pegangan asas satu pihak
contoh bagi pro :"kami menyokong usul........"
contoh bagi kontra :"kami menolak usul.........."

IZIN LALUAN: merupakan pertanyaan semasa pihak lawan sedang berhujah
contoh lemah: "Y.B, sebentar tadi Y.B ada menyatakan.............blahblahblah.."
contoh mantap: "Y.B, bukankah ini yang dimaksudkan dengan.......blahblah.."
(kategori dan teknik izin laluan akan dibincangkan dalam artikle seterusnya)

APA YANG PERLU DILAKUKAN SELEPAS MENDAPAT USUL?

selepas mendapat usul, anda harus bergembira kerana kumpulan anda bukanlah tergolong dalam golongan yang "spontan". Baiklah ini adalah asasnya:

1. Brain stroming (diskusi)

2. Cari definisi (nampak tak bebudak ni buat? kamus dewantuh..ape gunenye?)
3. Cari Hujah
4. Menyiapkan hujah
5. Latihan

Perkara inipun sama, cuma asas sahaja. Sebenarnya terdapat pelbagai kaedah dalam 5 langkah asas ini termasuklah:

1. Cara berbincang
2. Cara multi-pendefinisian
3. Cara mencari Hujah pokok & sampingan
4. Cara mengarang* hujah
5. Cara latihan efektif

Asasnya, anda perlu juga untuk mengikuti ke-5-5 kaedah ini. Tak percaya?

PANTANG LARANG DALAM BERBAHAS?
Ada jugak??? Mestilah ada!!!!

1. Berdiri dan duduk tidak serentak apabila rakan anda akan berhujah (-3 strategi)
2. Menggunakan bahasa selain melayu tanpa izin Yang dipertua Dewan (-3 bahasa)
3. Menggunakan bahasa yang berkias-kias semasa berucap (-3 persembahan)
4. Menggunakan bahasa yang terlalu tinggi sehinnga menyebabkan warga dewan keliru
wei, tak baik kenakan orang tau!!!
5. Tidak menunjukan gaya berbincang semasa 3 minit sebelum izin laluan. Kena berlakon tau!!
(-3 strategi)
6. Lawak lucah, ganas e.t.c.
7. Semua Pantang larang yang dibacakan oleh Y.D.P Dewan sebelum PM mengutarakan hujah.

Thats all i Think for this time. hope to hear from others soon.....

"bertolong-tolonglah kamu kearah kebaikan, dan jangan sesekali bertolongan dalam kejahatan."

ASk eXpeRt: How SloW AginG

2007-07-20T20:19:00.000-07:00

We “age” for many reasons, some of us faster than others. Here are 5 methods to slow down the aging process:

1. Reduce Inflammation

Caused by an immune response, inflammation is the body’s reaction to an invader or irritant. Here are some ways to reduce inflammation:

Eliminate irritants in your diet (such as sugar)
Eat healthy fats
Get enough sleep
Avoiding environmental exposures (sunlight and smoking)

Using these techniques, we can slow down many of the effects of aging. Low-grade inflammation has been linked to wrinkles, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and many other health problems.

2. Lifestyle
It is no secret that we control a big part of how our bodies function. We accelerate the aging process if we:

smoke
eat poorly
drink alcohol heavily
don’t exercise
get overstressed
don’t sleep enough

We can do ourselves a big favor by doing an “inventory” of our life to see where we can improve our lifestyle and keep our body function the best that it can for the long term.

3. Hormones

Many of the hormones that keep us functioning at our peak decline as we age. These include:

estrogen
progesterone
testosterone
DHEA
thyroid
human growth hormone

some experts claim that by supplementing these hormones as we age, we can slow down the aging process and improve health. However, this approach is controversial and has been linked with other health problems (for example, estrogen replacement therapy has been linked to cardiovascular events and breast cancer). Any hormone therapy must be overseen by a physician.

4. Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect us against free-radicals, which are often considered the main culprit in the aging process. Antioxidants such as:

vitamins A, C, E
glutathione

alpha lipoic acid can help protect cells. It is best to work with a qualified professional before starting on a program of supplements.

5. Detoxification

Closely linked to the ideas behind reducing inflammation, detoxification strives to rid the body of toxins and restore equilibrium. This can be done in many ways, including through diet and exercise.
