Lyrics

doko ni yukebaii
anata to hanarete
ima wa sugisatta
toki ni toikakete

nagasugita yoru ni
tabidachi wo yume mita
ikoku no sora mitsumete
kodokuwo dakishimete

nanagareru namida wo
toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no
toiki wo kanjite
dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory, you never let me cry
And you, you never said goodbye

Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I'd never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone

Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting, fades away
Alive within your beatless heart

dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

nanagareru namida wo
toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no
aoi bara ni kaete

dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

nanagareru namida wo
toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no
toiki wo kanjite

dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

Half-life x 2

Was playing HL2 yesterday, Monday, and somewhat last week, and it was FUN!!! Reminiscing of those days when i put many zombies to the stake, or no, crowbar.

I just managed to get to "Anticitizen I", where i just emerged from the depths of the City 17 prison, a place where its graphics are so good that i could almost feel the dank stench of the prison. (Helps playing on Wang's GeForce 6600). Facial expressions and bodily features are much more realistic than much other games, you can evn see all the wrinkles on their faces. As if they were real.

Basically the story is about Gordon Freeman from the first Half-life series, he gets put on a train to City 17, this dystopic place where the police control the masses with an iron fist. And obviously the people aren't happy, so there's this nice cute gal called Alyx Vance, whos the daughter of your (his) scientist friend Dr Eli Vance coming to lend a hand, by bringing u to safety, giving ammo and all sorts of help.

Other stuff from the original Half-life are inside HL2 too: Barney, the friendly policeman in Black Mesa, some scientists from the Black Mesa research facility, the weapons: pistol, magnum, SMG, shotgun, bazooka. No gauss gun or hornet gun here, which is sad :(, and the crossbow sucks (have to consider trajectory: cannot fire while moving). The energy suit concept is still here, with the machines on the wall to restore life and energy. And of course! the enemies: headcrabs (now there are 3 types), zombies (3 types as well). Vortigaunts (those assholes who shoot energy towards u) are now your dearest allies, and no mention of squid-like creatures or any other big-daddy types. Rather, the enemies here seem to be the damned police of City 17 - they call them the "Combine", their machines like dropships and gunships, and many devious traps and puzzles, which i think sets HL2 in a totally awesome new fashion. Oh yeah, our favourite barnacles are also here - remember those damned organic mouth-like shitters hanging on ceilings with their tongues sticking out.

Miss the days of Half-life multiplayer, cos there's no multiplayer for HL2. Sniping people with the crossbow, blowing people with the bazooka (with homing device), dropping snarks on unexpecting people, and ruling the game with the gauss gun. Cool, but damn tiring.

So much for all this gaming.
