Psp-ed

Yep, I got Psp-ed today, and a white one!

And trust me, it's not cheap stuff. SGD 477 was what I paid for this little handheld console with an additional 4GB memory card. (which works in my w850i phone as well). Got it at this queensway shop which I heard GX, lionel etc..etc..bought theirs there, and the only thing which made me go all the way there was the large collection of 7DVD disc worth of pirate games they provide. (which is kinda cool and saves alot trouble). ISO files (which are PSP format games) aren't really small in size (ranging from 200MB to 700MB on average), and Dlin them over my connection is really troublesome. and not to mention downloading from megaupload or direct download sites are really horrible, and the connection itself is friable (meaning it'll disconnect anytime). So to save myself the trouble, I went the extra mile for the free 7 disc of games.

Ok, here's TY's mini review on PSP (so far).

I feel that the design is sleek and nice, but I don't like the fact that the screen doesn't emmit enough LIGHT which is important to me. I don't know why I like the screen glowing when I play, and I don't like the reflection u get from the screen. This is just my opinion. And also, the buttons are okay, fine, nothing too impressive, nothing too bad either. Everything is decent so far in terms of looks and apperance. I got myself the white one (which probably has a higher tendancy to get dirty, but who cares, it matches with my Sony w850i very well), and Im like seeing Black PSPs everywhere. Very tempted to get myself the pink one, but I figured that would look really far too gay. Off-limits, I better not stray too far.

Spent several hours scanning thru those games in those disc and uploading them onto my lil console. Reason being, each game requires like 5 mins to be extracted into the thing, and not to mention I also went to TRY the game out, and so approx 15+5min for each game. And right now I have 8 games in my console (with 1 GB left to spare..). Do the math and you'll figure why I took many hours of playing around with this lil console.

Tested several games. To my disappointment, Monster Hunter and Megaman didn't work for my console because I didn't have an original UMD disc.

Tales of eternia->A decent RPGish game so far. Battle system looks not bad and unique. Been a long time since I played any RPG, so I guess I'll be sticking with this...

Virtual Tennis World Tour->I can't find Virtual Tennis 3 on those Discs, so I figured I may wanna stick to this for the time being. It's decently fun and challenging so I'll be keeping this in my stick.

Pacman-> And sorry nope, I don't intend to keep this. But still, I haven't tried it yet.

Untold Legends->Nope, haven't tried it..

Samurai Warriors-> Nono, a mix of action/randomish slashing enemies and moving around on a general map formed by grids and titles (is that FF tactics's style?? i guess). Nono, not my cup of tea. Going to throw it into the ruins of deletion....(what a lame theme I came up with)...

Something something Mercury->Yes, a stupid game involving a ballish mercury. And in a series of puzzle-ish stages, you gotta force the mercury by moving it around and reaching the checkered area. Really lame...

Lumines->ONly played for a short while. Glenn said it's fun, and Im giving it another try. So far decently ok and im impressed by the concept of the game. Looks good and smells good but i didn't play too much of it YET to comment.

Practical Intelligence->One thing is i dun get this game at all and I don't really bother playing thru the tutorials to learn it. Maybe one day in some school break when Im really bored or stuck at my RPGS, then I'll attempt this. I feel a disturbing need to play games that involves puzzles, crosswords and falling blocks and tiles...Why??

Yep EIGHT games, and 1 GIG more to go. Seriously gonna scrap some of these "make-shift" games which I have in my memorystick right now. Im downloading more ISOs from ISO sites (and mind you thats not the quality control for drinks...pls)...

Games I wanna play, may sound lame.yugioh GX (yes brings back memories), bomberman, naruto, bleach..etc..and monster hunter, also..initial D. Worms sounds nice??

If you ask me honestly, Im more of a DS-lite person with all the mario-ish and pokemon-ish games. I prefer kiddy games, not those hardcore first person shooter with loads of blood and violence. Thus, Im sticking to the more mild games (and puzzle orientated) games for PSP. (woah, nice revelation huh? in case you didn't know me). Im not a really hyped up gamer, (incase you misunderstood from this post and this is my first time dedicating an entire post to games games games). to admit, im not a really game person and ive not really played a rpg for like...say....4-5 years. Since primary school days of pokemon or digimon world 4. Rpgs are certainly fun for me and i seriously wondered why I didn't try Final fantasy blah blah blah when I was younger. Probably the number of DISCs intimidated me...

Don't get me wrong, Im not going to convert from this healthy, sporty me to a geekish psp addict. Woah, that sounded crude but...but...maybe I feel a disturbing need to catch up with games once in a while....

And why I didn't buy DS. it's because...the prices of games scared the daylights out of me. PSP-ers have ISOs....wohooo...and the musicplayer back is cool.

Haven't uploaded any videos, but still PSP only supports mp4 (unless you DLED a player for your PSP)....so it's kinda sad i dun have any Mp4 vids on my com...so no testing of quality yet.

I posted a long post ytd so I shall continue on with momentum. I vowed to strive hard in college, and i gotta admit i slacked my weekend away (WOW, as if it's surprising.). that is expected of me duh. im a slacker.....hais, once a slacker always a slacker...

I heard there wun be trials tmr and postponed to fri. Source isn't really credible but I wun bring my stuff tmr. And my house is a 10 min teleporation away so Im fine if anything cocks up. So either way, i wun miss the trials. And even if I miss the trials, PJ team wud wan me so there's no way I wun be in badminton ( unless im choose otherwise)....

School seems loooooooooonnnnnnnng tommorow. not nice. not nice at all.
