Smiles Points

So many things that make us smile this week really.

First was the release of The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Announced for release on 1st Oct we never got to see it till Thursday when Gamer's Hideout finally got their stock.

We totally heart heart heart Zelda. Although admittedly the only Zelda games we ever played were:
Gameboy: Link's Awakening (our first Zelda game ever!)
Gameboy Color: Oracle Of Seasons (oh dear, where's the cartridge gone...)
Gameboy Advance: A Link To The Past (finished this and returned it while in UK)
Gameboy Advance: The Minish Cap (sadly the cartridge cannot save games anymore :S)

See, so many we have yet to play, especially the Gamecube/Wii ones. But currently we absolutely LOVE this one. All the controls are done via the stylus! Now once we've finished this we'll be digging out our old Zelda games for another go-through...



Now our sis did send us the link for a videoclip that's been Buffalaxed before but we never did really thought much of it heh. What's a Buffalaxed video? See, in YouTube there's this user called Buffalax, who takes music clips and makes subtitles based on what he thinks they're saying in English, always with hilarious results.

Sis actually sent us the link for 'Indian Thriller/Girly Man'. She sent two actually, one Buffalaxed and another one of the same clip but at double speed - she liked the double speed one. Then mrbrown posted about another Buffalax video and we went, "Oooh, got some more one ah..." and hunted for 'em and shared them about. Our favourite is Buffalax's take of Dschinghis Khan's Moskau. The second line of the lyrics already nearly made us fall out of our seat. It was sooo good we had to share the joy with everyone.



Yet another smile came from the fact that the office laptop has now been repaired where we can actually go wireless! Hurrah! We now actually pack the laptop back so we could go online from our bed/at Starbucks/at Mage Cafe/at Kopi Oh!/oh heck, wherever whenever we happen to be free. This is good so that we can do stuff on laptop without having to buy our own (yet). Unfortunately we be spring chicken so after a while of carrying the lappie our arm feels like it's gonna come out of it's socket. :S

And today we've just picked up another smiles point in the form of this.

More songs for the iPod! More caraoke moments (probably). And an itch to watch Moulin Rouge! again! We're still hesitant to pick up the Soundtrack for Rent tho' (yay we've gotten the song Seasons Of Love!) and well, won't be picking up the soundtrack for Hairspray anytime soon. :P

Oh, and Sandworms Of Dune is finally out! We saw this in Borders but only in hardback.

Unlike Making Money we aren't gonna get hardback for this (we were Pratchett-deprived, see) - the rest of our Dune series are in paperback and this will follow suit. The only reason we're gonna get this is for closure's sake really - finally, the completion of the Dune series (hopefully). We really can't stand the writing style actually.
