Pokemon it ain’t

Pokemon it ain’t

The publishers pulled out, but apparently it has massive support.

On it’s removal-

Moreover we don’t treat this as a failure because yet again this showed us a huge community support we’re totally overwhelmed with. After only a couple of hours Greenlight campaign being live, Hatred gathered 13,148 up votes and ended up on a #7 on Top 100 list. This is the best proof for us that there are diehard Hatred fans out there, waiting for this game to be released. And that we need to keep going to deliver them a game that offers exciting and challenging gameplay.

That’s saying; after 2 hours on the developers platform it climbed to number 7.

Just show’s how many potential ISIS recruits there are out there.

Gotta love the haters, when you read the forums, it says that people that don’t hate the game are haters. If you hate a hater, what does that make you?

It’s funny to here these people talk.

Anyhow, check out the video.

Skipping games

Skipping games

So.

Had a little break from my lessons and sat outside by the stadium area.

This is where all the students and teachers alike go and enjoy their morning sun.

There were many girls skipping. So I decided to make this video of them skipping their rope.

As you can notice, they are very nervous and shy.

Many Chinese schoolgirls are like this.

Top 10 apps for visitors to China

Top 10 apps for visitors to China

If you’re planning a trip, or maybe living there as an expat, these are the apps you’re going to want to have installed to your phone to get the most from your experience.

They are my

Top 10 apps for China

Hanping Chinese Camera - china-app
1) Hanping Camera

Takes pictures of text and converts them to English language. Used it quite helpfully on the train to Guangdong, it will have problems if your phone doesn’t have a good camera or if you’ve got shaky hands.
I went through the entire interpretation of the Chinese menu with a Chinese girl, and it got them all correct.
Can’t be bad!

Knock off gear – China – Knock off Diary

Knock off gear – China – Knock off Diary

OK. So those not been to China, will not know: the nation’s idea of innovation is looking at other peoples ideas and copying them… Being from the Shanghai area, as you can imagine, it’s more of a way of life…

Coming and looking around the markets and stalls, you’ll think you’ve found a bounty of Western goods! With the same standards, and finish quality, same functionality etc.

Dream on

I’ve bought several items now in varying degrees of ‘knock-off’ ness.

For the Chinese, there is no line between ‘knock-off’ and genuine.
Knock-off is the genuine, so you got to be careful about what you do and where you spend your money…

I’m going to be keeping a kind of ‘knock-off’ diary. Browse at your leisure… (If you need anything, shoot me an email and I can sort u out!)

Here’s a list of the current ‘knock-off’ goods, their failure level and the prices paid.

Elder Scrolls Online – BETA

Elder Scrolls Online – BETA

So.

Been selected to play this very popular, (Game of the Year), the Ubiquitous and Renowned Skyrim IV – The Elder Scrolls.

Elder Scrolls Online
Elder Scrolls Online (BETA)

The new game I’ve been invited to play on BETA is The Elder Scrolls Online.

Skyrim

For those who’ve not played, Skyrim is a game where you wonder in a simulated environment, which looks something like this.

It’s set against a backdrop of a war.

Skyrim - Elder Scrolls
Skyrim – Elder Scrolls

You wander round doing quests, building things, stealing things, talking to people, exploring.

Because of the graphics, you can see why the game first gained it’s appeal.

There isn’t anything you HAVE to do.

I like that.
