Indeed, no one would ever beat that record sales of that big hit THRILLER in the 1983s as well striking a continouos fame all the way from there. It's really hard to believe that a legend like him would just simply fade away along with the bad reception from the news that he had way back in 2005.

Seriously, over the past few days, I took a break from my typical rock music and just click in my Windows Media Player a few songs from him and... I just felt quite a sudden burst of energy that I really wanted to dance even on working late a 7pm up to 12mn. Just simply following through the beats and lyrics makes me feel quite revitalized after a stressful day at work. Sometimes, I just wanted to kick to my right and wave my arms to my left and maybe shake a few times or more with my head because Michael Jackson's music just sucks me in instantly. I can also say that it can make quite a few people around me dance too.

I don't know. I JUST DON'T KNOW! I'm all feeling neutral right now but I can feel the problem of the whole world after losing a legend like him. Even though Lady Gaga was just about taking a slice of pop fame may not even make it the level of fame that Michael Jackson had.

Maybe it's time for me to buy that 25th Anniversary Edition of Thriller for now since it's all worth it for me but I am so disturbed about seeing one of my favorite artists just fade away like that (and perhaps everyony else too). I was even inspired to make Leon S. Kennedy dance to beat of that famous 1995 hit Scream.

Maybe I should stop for now since News is News. We cannot simply turn back the hands of time only to retrieve someone or something very important. We'll just have to live up to the memories that these great people have send us and it's hard to imagine that one the legendary should just.... go... away... like that

Michael, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! The whole world is here with you!

And perhaps it's going to take a miracle to break that sales Record of Thriller too.

LONG LIVE MICHAEL JACKSON! LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP! I SHALL NEVER FORGET SUCH A LEGEND IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC!

As of now, 2 multi-disc PSone games are already released on the PSN and this was in fact, quite a SLOW move for SCEA compared to Sony Japan. I mean, are they really looking forward for people to buy a portable console with YET another expensive price tag on it? Although I have to give it for the PSP Go with it's 16gb storage that might increase the demand for consumers along with the progression of technology sometime in the future but I do believe SCEA really needs to catch on what Sony Japan is really doing right now.

From what I have heard, the PSone classics section of the Japanese PSN contains an instant time machine on what it would seem that it was the best years of the PSone. Now now, you don't have to blame me for making quite a strong recommendation about those games since they're going to take quite a hole in your pocket but from my teenage years of experience with them, I say they're definitely worth it.

For SCEA, putting up Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid on the PSN is definitely quite a good yet slow move in terms of fan service and in comparison. And haven't they had their lesson already on the PS3 launch price of $599?

But honestly, I bought my 60gb for a $700 price tag here in the Philippines and I never even regret it alll thanks to that emotion engine inside of it that keeps me attached to my PS2 library which I still have quite a list of pending games yet to finished all thanks to my ever so stressed out mind.

Okay, time for a gaming update for now. Looking over to my NOW PLAYING list, I just bought Resident Evil: Director's Cut on the PSN for a slice of nostalgia as well as playing Tales of the Abyss in preparation for Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 (sorry Tales of Legendia).

Since Blizzard finally made an announcement on Starcraft II, I really should upgrade my PC from my last year's setup which is only going to need a video card replacement for the sake of maximizing those eye candy visuals.

Current Setup:

ASUS P5Q SE Plus
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (OCed to 3.00ghz)
Kingston 2gb RAM 4pcs (8gb in total)
Seagate SATA 200gb (for OS Dual Booting)
Seagate SATA 320gb (for other personal stuff)
Acbel 610w power supply (which I do believe I am not maximizing it's potential right now)
*sigh* Inno3D 8600gt (I really need to bump this to an Inno3D GTX 280)

Finally, I.... am... still.... drooling.... over.... a.... Samsung T260HD

Looking back at my previous post was errrr.... July 13, 2008? Well that was quite long.

Honestly, I have been just a lurker in gaming websites over these past few months (which almost counts as a year already) but I DO always visit GS as well as GFAQS everyday. I really don't post that much often but rather read only news and tidbits of what's in the frontpage of them everyday on a nightly basis.

Yes, you heard that right, on a nightly basis. Work has become a regular daily routine for me and I only get a chance to play my PS3 usually up to 3 hours during the night but I do love my routine since I'm working at my family business right here at home.

Ahhh yes, gaming. What's up with me over the past year? Not much really,I was hooked at MGS4 for about two months ever since I got it after a month of it's release. After that Warriors Orochi 2 kept me playing nightly since I was really into the Dynasty Warriors franchise but I can finally say that I'm quite already tired with the series not because of the not-so-much upgrades that Koei has been doing for every release but I really got tired of the grinding routine.

Currently and Thankfully, Resident Evil 5 awoke my gaming spirit once again which also led me to replay my copy of Legend of Dragoon in which I play them alternately.

So yeah, not much about gaming for me over the past year since the PS3 didn't have quite much of a killer lineup and I am not really into console FPS which led me to become quite picky in gaming these days.

It took me a month before my body adjusted to it's everday activities such as waking up at 5am, lifting weights on 6-8am and the usual office hours (8-12nn , 1-5pm) with an extended working hours up to 7:30pm. Thankfully, my new desktop computer was really more of a comfort to work with rather than picturing it as a stress generator. I'm currently enjoying the power of Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6600 with a 4gb RAM and a GeForce 8600 going along with it (Mounted on an Asus P5N-MX). However, I'm STILL currently running Windows XP up to this day and I won't be planning on moving on to Vista not until I have heard quite a handful of stability reception to it.

What can I say!? It's quite a HUGE leap from my old Pentium 4 3.0ghz / 1.5gb RAM computer. I can run Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3, Corel Draw X4 and I can still play Bioshock and....uhhhh Red Alert 2 all at the same time (with Bioshock on it's Medium Quality settings). I think it's very easy to say that this setup is well enough for Starcraft II with a little tweaking on replacing my GeForce 8600 to 8800 sometime in the future.

On consoles, I'm still quite lazy on finishing the last stretch of Suikoden 5 maybe due to that irritiating part wherein you'll have to split up at the Ashtwal Mountain which instantly killed my excitement on rushing all the way up to the end (but giving myself a thumbs up for focusing that THAT game alone for the whole month of May). As of now, I'm refreshing my mind on the Metal Gear series all thanks to that box set (but having the second disc on the Original MGS3 Subsistence release was more satisfying) and my only gap before touching my copy of MGS4 was MGS3 and Portable Ops.I do believe that I'm expecting quite a lot on this *ahem* 10/10 game as well as preparing myself to dive into the GTA series since part 4 also got a *ahem* 10/10 on both IGN and Gamespot (which I always trusted in scores). That's it for now and that's quite a lot of catching up for me to do.

Yet another "OMG!" momment has surprised me this summer. Nothing strange yet quite a bit surprising because A GAME has undergone a REPRINT and it's perfect to take along Persona 3 FES with it. But not for me, since my Persona 3 FES order is packaged with my Metal Gear Essentials along with it so I only placed a pre-order of Little Big Planet along with it just for reservation reasons . Oh, there's also a note on it's page that the soundtrack doesn't come along with it unlike the original prints but better than nothing since Atlus and Konami doesn't like too much reprinting on most of their games (Yeah I know, how I wish they could've just released their PSone Suikoden games on the PSN Store)
