Links of the day

Terkadang, saya memposting beberapa link di satu post, dan memberikan komentar-komentar untuk masing-masing link.

Untuk posting kali ini saya hanya ingin menampilkan satu link: [ I Want To... ]

Komentar saya hanya 2 kata : HARUS LIHAT ! :D

Very useful stuff indeed. Don’t miss it.

LibraryThing.com

Interesting website - it lets you catalog your books easily and conveniently.

You can then print the catalog, or save it to your own computer, or whatever.

Needless to say, I’ve opened an account there.
Check it out.

Ikan beracun

Kemarin adik saya bercerita. Katanya, dia kini cuma berani membeli ikan dari satu pedagang di pasar dekat rumahnya.
Pedagang ini agak mojok sendiri lokasinya, ikan yang dijualnya dikerumuni lalat, dan harganya hampir 2 kali lipat pedagang lainnya. Namun, adik saya bisa yakin bahwa ikannya tidak diberi formalin (bahan untuk pengawet mayat).

Para pedagang ikan lainnya bersumpah bahwa ikan jualan mereka tidak diberi “obat” (istilah untuk formalin). Namun, ikan mereka tetap utuh dan tidak membusuk, padahal hanya direndam di dalam air (berformalin?). Dan tidak ada lalat yang mendekati ikan-ikan tersebut.

Alangkah sulitnya untuk hidup sehat di negara ini :(

idsoftware.com

I was browsing around and decided to visit idsoftware.com after missing it for years.
My, looks like they’ve been very busy this October !

They just announced the new Wolfenstein (will be developed by Raven software). Return To Castle Wolfenstein (RTCW) had the best co-operative multiplayer game. You actually had to work together, or you will lose the game. It’s MUCH better (IMHO) than the usual deatchmatch-style games.
I was lucky enough to be in UK at that time (big Internet bandwidth), and therefore was able to enjoy many excellent multiplayer sessions online. It was an awesome experience; if you think deathmatch is great, wait until you tried co-op.
But now in Indonesia, I hope this new Wolfenstein will include a bot :) so we can enjoy it without needing to connect to the Internet. It’s not as if I’d be able to play it freely though, since I’ve got way more responsibilities now….. Anyway, next:

Quake 4 !
I was looking rather warmly at it - but soon I got very interested, since it’s made by Raven software. This company has good record of creating games with excellent gameplay.
Fight with the support of an elite squad” - so they’ve finally figured out an AI algorithm good enough for this? Good for them, RTCW:ET was released as free game because they failed to get this working on time.
So I guess this means I can also expect the new Wolfenstein to have bots in its co-op mode (hurray)

And of course DOOM: The Movie. If you ever played the game (especially DOOM 3), or just want to watch an excellent action/horror movie, you don’t want to miss this.

Well done id software.

DOOM

Apa sama sekali belum ada yang menonton film ini ? :) Anyway, berhubung saya sudah menunggu selama… 10 tahun? 12 tahun? Too long, basically :) jadi begitu saya lihat poster film Doom di Plaza Senayan, saya langsung menyatakan bahwa saya akan menjadi salah satu penonton pertamanya di Jakarta. Apalagi ketika menyadari bahwa di Inggris film ini baru akan diputar pada tanggal 2 Desember; wow… my condolences, he he.

Di luar dugaan, ternyata partner saya tersenyum mendengarnya, dan mengatakan bahwa dia akan ikut menonton juga. Well, the more the merrier :)

Jadi, minggu lalu (24 Oktober 2005), kita mampir ke bioskop PIM2. Bioskop terisi sekitar 2/3-nya, not bad.

SPOILER ALERT: meneruskan membaca posting ini **mungkin** akan menyebabkan Anda membaca beberapa spoiler film ini.
