kaiserkuchen: (Ron! DO NOT WANT)
Have been spending a large part of the day poring over digicam catalogues and reading consumer reviews on amazon and anguishing some more. The Sony center called back and said that my trusty ol' DSC-T7's hardboard was fritzed and only 7000 baht would be able to repair it... which is a pretty steep sum, considering that the camera cost 15'000 baht when I bought it 2 years ago. So a new one it is! And the other thing that is a sure bet is that I will be sticking to Sony, first and foremost due to easy sync up with my VAIO, then my admittedly shallow LOVE for the Sony designs and the slight weight that my old cam(sniff) so endeared to me. I admit to being a shameless Sony ho and Dad enables this and shares this trait with me, I might add ;D (my only 'infidelities' have been re: iPod and the Nintendo DS I intend to own someday... sorry lah the PSP and the Sony digital music players just don't do much for me XDD).

My two end contestants:
SONY DSC-T100
OBV. PROS:
_ hot design, sleek, simple, LARGE screen, HOT DESIGN
_ lightweight!!
_ most 'newest' specs, not likely to be obsolete for a while at least
_ fancy shit that looks fun like ZOOOMING in when making vid clips
_ LOOKS LIKE A SEXIER OLDER BROTHER OF MY OLD CAMERA

CONS:
_ EXPENSIVE. 17'990 baht! D: (then again, an investment! But then I might have to kiss the DS goodbye or have limited allowance due to this...)
_ apparently the interface is a bit fiddly and annoying to access? Why the hell would they rescind the delete button anyway? And the toggle-switch from the T7?? That shit was perfect :/
_ unnecessary options like 'slideshows with MUSIC' and 'HD TV plug-ins' for me
_ FUCKING EXPENSIVE AHHH SHIT DDD:

SONY DSC-W90
OBV. PROS:
_ has its appeal design-wise(ONLY IN BLACK though ahh)
_ slightly cheaper than the T100 at 12'990 baht with most of the same specs
_ seems to be lightweight, too?
_ has a kind of busy and cluttered menu/display, but that also has its own appeal because you can see what is responsible for what function

CONS:
_ I HATE lenses that extend out. Hate hate hate. And they can get broken or jammed real I heard?
_ ...it's kind of ehh :(
_ IT'S NOT THE T100
_ ...if I am already spending more than 10'000 baht, why not just spring 5'000 baht more? Okay, 5'000 baht is a lot of money, though. But not seen in the big picture. Yet... *ARGH*

...one can see my stellar decision making skills here! Ahh.

In other news I was barred from the gym today, as Ma's freebie visitor's pass that I was using ran out and you can't use a bunch in a row? Or something. Which marks the end of my shortlived fitness career then, I guess? Was actually kind of looking forward to it today, as I could actually WALK again >_>;;
Grooved out to a Guitar Hero machine that hat buttons instead of a guitar though whilst waiting for Ma and watched Ratatouille! SO CUTE AHHHHHH ♥ And heartwarming and hunger-inducing and EEEE-WILL BE IN PARIS SOON-reminding :Db
kaiserkuchen: (Tidus! Eeee!)
Well, I never thought I'd feel vaguely glad that dastardly morrocan pick-pockets stole my Nikon digicam, but now Dad went and bought me a new Sony one and well, um. *shifty eyes* it's so sexy for an inanimate object...♥

Also got to buy some new PS2 games and thus decided to spend the afternoon testing 'em out and trying the one's that Johann foisted off on me.

DDS2 jap. version:
Didn't go far with it, I admit to buying it only to check out the opening sequence and the beginning that as a rule in RPGs is chock-full o' cutscenes anyhow. Looks fab and I am loving the fight music- definately something to listen to repeatedly whilst leveling up~! :D

Lucifer's Call:
Bought my own copy, as Johann wanted his back so bad after I kept gushing about it(HAH). Waffled 'round Ginza a bit and merged some of my monsters. Still kept Shikigami though, 'cause he/she/it's my darrrrling paper-cutout thingie~ ♥. Got an Inugami out of merging some (insertnameIforgotalreadyarghhere)- it's this long floating white ghost doggie demon that is elongnated like a dachshund from hell, and it to is awesome and shall be staying on my party forever barring any unexpected occurences~!(PLUS IT LIKE BREATHES FIRE. AND BITES YOU)

Star Ocean (more to the title here? dunno):
Pretty opening graphics, but uh failed to grab me in the first half hour, so: BORING. And I hate the main chara's girl childhood friend AKA future Love Interest and that's never a good sign. Shall ask Jo if it gets exponentially better later and is worth another go...

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
Oh man, it burrrrns to say this but OH SHIT I UTTERLY BOMBED THE GAME. And at the first mission and on Very Easy Mode to boot. ;________;. Where to start? How bout me making Snake crawl off a cliff whilst testing the controls in the first minutes of the game? Or getting eaten by crocodiles because I walked headfirst into a swamp? Or how I can't find anything EVER and end up doing stupid things like accidentally standing up right in front of the guards armed with AK-47s? Y HELO THAR indeed~~~ And since I am unable to use the controls correctly I couldn't even knife the fucker, rarrgh. Fell of a bridge a few times too. Achhh -.-;; (BUT ONE THING I CAN DO IS KILL SNAKES FOR FOOD- DEATH BY ARMY BOOT MUTHAFUCKAAS >:D)
Am now reading through various net walkthroughs in hopes of gaining valuable knowledge one how to sneak past those damn soviet bastards...

...and well, reading what this dude has to say about VE makes me feel so much better D:
"* Very Easy * I must say that this is very, very easy. Guards can't hear
much of anything, they are nearly blind, they die easily, there is far less
of them, and they are quite unintelligent. The bosses pretty much fall under
the same category. They take a lot of damage from you and do little to you.
If you leave an area with the alarm hooting it will be turned off when you
enter another. Cautions and alerts last for a very short time. This
difficulty is not difficult at all."
