Well, this time I would like to review GTA (Grand Theft Auto) 4. Not a full review actually, only about the parts that's quite impressive for me.

GTA 4 is the first game in the GTA Series that I've played. The second one is GTA San Andreas which maybe I'll cover in another post.

I played GTA 4 only recently (2013). Why ?

1. I don't have good enough hardware. Only after I bought a new Graphics Card (the previous one came with the motherboard), I've begin playing some modern games. Even now I've experienced quite a lag during play. Seems I need to upgrade my entire PC (not just the graphics) to get a smoother experience.
2. I usually played as "the good guy". GTA Series is notorious for having a criminal as the main protagonist, so naturally when I've heard about people renting a hooker in the GTA games, only to later shoot the hooker to get their money back, I said to myself "Dude, that's fucked up!"

Movie Review : The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Well, it's weekend now, and because weekends is usually the time where I can 'let my guard down', I would like to review a movie (and especially the songs), because it's somehow had a profound impact to the way I see things.

The movie I'm about to review is "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", the Disney animated film.

This blog post is actually a prelude to next post "Custom Shaped Areas In VB.NET". When trying to write that one, It came to me that the knowledge on how to add controls at run-time is required, and so I wrote this one first.

Okay, lanjut yah.

Jadi tanggal 23 Feb 2013, gua bangun sekitar jam 5 pagi (antisipasi nyasar, mengingat belum pernah ke gedung baru yang dimaksud).

Sesampainya di lokasi, sempat bingung karena gerbangnya tidak dibuka, dan ternyata ada satpam yang berdiri di depan, mengarahkan gua untuk mengikuti suatu mobil (gua naik motor). Ternyata orientasi mahasiswanya tidak jadi di gedung baru, dan panitia menyediakan mobil untuk mahasiswa di depan gedung baru tersebut untuk berangkat ke lokasi lain (yang naik kendaraan sendiri seperti gua, disuruh mengikuti mobil tersebut).
