Evolution of the Tiberium Universe

Time, it passes by so fast. You crawled and now you're driving a car. It all happen with just a glimpse. It feels like yesterday I was playing command and conquer, few hours later Tiberian Sun (Command and Conquer 2), then Tiberium Wars (Command and Conquer 3) and now soon to come Tiberian Twilight (Command and Conquer 4). Funny how 14 years passed by so fast since I played the first DOS-based Command and Conquer game.


The first Command and Conquer game, the best strategy game ever made during 1995. The best graphics had during that time and one of the happy factors that made me happy back then. I was still using windows 95 to play it and it was all in DOS.

Then it came, 4 years later, Command and Conquer 2 Tiberian Sun!


The graphic and gameplay has made huge improvements. Fancier graphics and cool gameplay. Cutscenes were rendered using CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). The rise of the 2nd Tiberium War between NOD and GDI.

The Command and Conquer Tiberium series (Strategy) stop for 8 years due to the failure of their FPS Tiberium series Command and Conquer Renegade and it's creator Westwood Studios went defunct in 2003 after acquire by EA Games in 1998. EA holds the rights to make the Command and Conquer series and suprise, Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars was borned after 8 whole years.(Under EA not Westwood)


As the 7th generation gaming system arisen, EA was able to create a total different of gameplay experience to gamers in 2007. The graphics and gameplay of the series has made a big difference between the older Tiberian Series.

The latest news release by EA is they are going to create the 4th Tiberium War game after the 3rd and it is stated that the main antagonist is making his last appearance in the Tiberian Series.

Command and Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight will be releasing in 2010. Can't wait to have that! ^^

Thank you Yoshito Usui (Creator of Crayon Shin Chan)

First Micheal Jackson, now Yoshito Usui

Micheal's days of bringing pop music to the world ended on June 25,2009 and it brought sorrow to everyone in Earth as the King of Pop passed away.

Today I read in the newspaper, yet another guy in fact a Japanese guy who contributes laughter to this world since 1990 has also passed away in a hiking accident. He is Yoshito Usui the creator of Crayon Shin Chan.

So sad the guy who brought me laughter when I was a kid has passed away. Not only when I was a kid, but sometimes it stills entertain you when you are bored at home. Life comes and goes, guess we don't have a chance to watch Shin Chan shaking his butt anymore.



Thank you Yoshito Usui for bringing me happiness back in those days

The Lost Symbol

It's been quite some time since my last post as I'm quite troubled (Some emo and study stuff).

Books books books, so many books in the bookshop. Ranging from A ~ Z the only book I love to read (you can also say my whole life) are the books written by Dan Brown especially Angels and Demon, The Da Vinci Code (My Personal Favourite) and the one I just got recently, The Lost Symbol. Yeah!



I've been waiting for it since the day of the pre-order. ^^

But sadly now it's all a bunch of assignments, tests and conference paper are piled up in front of me, so I don't have any time to read it at all. Maybe after the conference or after the finals only I have time for that.

Something to share before ending this post... (What I read from the book)
"To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books."

So ladies and gentlemen, go and enjoy life and understand it as much as possible! ^^
