Advanced Trainfire Package ATP Marksman

Had my ATP-M (Advanced trainfire package ATP maneuver) test yesterday, very much like the run-down type range test I've last month, only that instead of using the 5.56mm Carbine I fired with previously, today's firing was done with my company's using the newer SAR-21 5.56mm Bullpup rifle. Generally speaking, firing with the SAR-21 rifle have its good...

Alien Vs Predator

Back then, Alien was quite a good hit, so was Predator & its series, but what you get when you merge these two movies into one? Closely, a lame but not necessary cheap show without much of a plot unless if you are really a predator or alien fan, otherwise you did better spend money on better...

HalfLife 2, smells like boo-boo!

With Doom 3 taking the limelight now, lets not forget about Half-Life 2 man. Noticeably with the lip-syncing software which allows characters in the game to move their lips & talk realistically by just typing in the conversation as text into the speech maker software! Its so good that some mute & deaf organisations in the states...

5 Funerals & an elder Petanque competition.

Just came back from a swim from the swimming complex.
