…it’s just not a fantastic one, either.
If you’ll ignore the whole multiplayer controversy, the whole “Infinity Ward screwed us”, “Steam prevents resale”, “the game isn’t balanced for your grandmother”, “there’s no customisation” and many other issues besides, the game isn’t half bad. (I may or may not be kidding about that second to last one. We’ll see.)
I had to think long and hard about the purchase of this one. After reading multiple reviews online, their stories of the horror of multiplayer were shocking. I eventually caved after EB Games held a Monday Madness sale where they sold MW2 for $73, with free shipping. Rather than buy it from Steamerica (as opposed to Steamstralia who are selling it at the rip-off price of US $89) for US $69 and then having to download roughly 12-15GB of content, I took the plunge. It’s only money, right?

Which is exactly why we’re moving on up!
I’m currently playing around with a motherload of themes for Benny Ling’s Bling.
This may take awhile, so go right ahead and play motherload – I guarantee that by the time you finish the game, the re-theming of Benny Ling’s Bling will be complete.
Dactyl Highscores
So, I finally managed to beat Turk’s high score on the iPhone game, Dactyl.
As you can see from the image above, he’s managed to rack up quite a lot of scores – and finally, I’ve managed to beat him in a fit of epic boredom when I was in Malaysia.
Now – the next thing is to crack the 500 mark. Shouldn’t be too hard, considering that I got 492 without putting in much effort.
Maybe I should tell him that there’s already a sequel – Dactyl 2 in the App Store – then again, maybe not…
This has been Malaysia 2009, Part II – brought to you by Benny Ling’s Bling.

About the game:
Left 4k Dead was made by Markus Persson,
for the 2009 Java 4k Competition.
The entire game is less than 4kb.
The game is inspired by Left 4 Dead by Valve Software.
via Left 4k Dead.
It’s actually quite good. Nothing compared to the real Left 4 Dead, but fun nevertheless.
QWOP.
It’s really, really, funny.
See if you can get to 50m – there’s a hurdle.
At 100, there’s a long jump pit.
Good running!
