Dunch Noe is now training new staff

If you were asking about the hiatus, yes I'm now hardly on my system due to inactivity. I'm not talking about exercising. I was never planning on exercising.

The replacement staff came and as usual, the trainer trains the trainee in the training during the work. As the trainer, you touch less of the PC and hola, you don't seemed to see me lying about to touch on the blog.

I am happy that I did not install the visit counter or I will be humilated by the digits that failed to change every day.

No, I don't blog at home. You do well to know I blog during my 'free' time.

Dunch Noe on hiatus

The last update was quite some time ago. Yes, it means I have been extremely busy.

Well, I didn't run out things to write about, I can blabble on about the Auntie who asked me what she should update in the application form for her education. It's not like her Bachelor in Applied Science is a terrible piece of work.

The truth is, I can hardly find the little time to keep this space updated and if I really do, it must be really cool. Enough of the idle chatter. I'll try to make an entry in this space once I find the time.

BTW, it wasn't due to the event in the mmorpg I play.... Oh well...

Dunch Noe on Console Wars

The recent console wars left Gamers wondering - "What happened to Sony PS3"?

Playstation 3 was once touted as the next generation gaming console with the Blueray technology, but recent reports for PS3 had been grim.

The failure of Playstation 3 was simply purely economics. Game Makers are a fickle bunch. They loved good graphics, they loved to create games that appeals to all and they wants their product to be marketed to as many users as possible.

This means that you are getting fewer 'exclusive' titles and you are getting games that are highly portable. In the console price war, Sony PS3 failed against Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. That means the gamers will go for the cheaper consoles since it is more affordable. More gamers on cheaper consoles means more titles released to the console.

Statistics don't lie. Game producers are aware of the cost and will only port to PS3 after initial success on other cheaper platforms. Moreover, with the launch of more MMORPGs, the decline of PS3 has been rapid.

Furthermore, the magic of console wars was lost in PS3. The success of the Sega Genesis Megadrive over Nintendo Entertainment System was the controller. Similar, Nintendo fought back using the SNES. Then came Playstation and Playstation 2 with the dual-shock controllers. Nintendo then introduced Wii.

Perhaps, they should look at introducing a new controller type to advocate a new playing style in PS3. Gamers are too tired of the buttons mashing with vibrating controllers. They need something special.

Dunch Noe was Busy

They say that when you are not free - you are busy.

I say that when you are busy, you are not free. When you are not free, you are not making time to be free.

I know I haven't been updating my blog regularly but commitments in life takes up the time used for private moments.

I won't be the first to suggest about turning back time but I would be saying the value of turning back time is counted only to improve the situation using the knowledge acquired from knowing what will happen. If the time was turned back and without prior knowledge and if the actions doesn't change the situation then there is little gained in turning back time.

Maybe I should start writing books on philosophy and get famous before/after I die. Perhaps you can glimpse why I was absorbed into hiatus.

Dunch Noe on the Arts

Arts as per the dictionary meaning :

the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

Thus, anything abstract or profound can be arts. So, the same applies here. My blog is abstract, profound and beyond your imagination.

I am artistic, literally. No words play in the sentence. Use your imagination.

Dunch Noe on hiatus

Ever since I add Dunch Care in this blog, I had an unnerving feeling of the epic disaster you can have is a lousy co-author for the blog.

Of course, the worst part of it is that the co-author refuses responsibility for defacing the blog.

As such, I shall abandon this outpost until I feel like it.

*the attempt to blame the co-author seemed a good strategy for no updates*

someone i tot is very dao

smiled at me today...

omg....
