The Irrational Season 2

It sad to this show go 

We are all irrational: We do things without thinking sometimes. This show shows that if you take time and think, all the answers are out there

This season: This season focus more on roses and alec relationship and alex ex wife finding her long lost son 

What I really liked: The experiments. They really explain the simplest decision changes human behavior. That is why I knew that my brain needed a reset

In the end: It ends on a happy note. But there was a small cliffhanger that we won't know what is going to happen next. Oh well. Good two season I guess 

Week 43: Brain reset time

The start of this week was not a great one. My brain was in dire need to a reset. It was in a fog and I need to do smoe soul searching. So did I figure it out. Not really but I think I have to take one day at a time and really stop thinking of the what ifs. Since if you think about that you are going to be miserable. 

 

Oct 19

• Lazy Sunday for the family so I made some chicken stew with mashed potatoes and crispy chicken 

• Took a nap. Wife when on reorganised the living room with H2 

• I think I need to understand my brain. What am I expeincing is Limerance which is nothing like love. It is great to be wanted and needed but its not the same as real love. The sad part is my wife wants and need me but she doesn't show any effort on wanting to be with me. Everything is under her terms. Sigh... It okay. Sometimes the brain fog does come but I need to take it at least one day at a time. I am 41 life is still a long way to go (God willing)

Week 42: Not a great week

 This week has been a very melancoly week. I notice that the longer I don't have sex the worse it becomes to my mind. But I have already accept the fact that I am alone. I maybe married but I don't have anyone to talk to or tell what is bothering me. It's okay... at least I can write about my problems. I am still the luckiest guy in the world and just take it a day at a time 

Oct 12 (unmemorable) 

• Wife woke up in a frenzy. Started yelling at everyone on text. Got so angry and didn't let me in 

• Ordered pizza for lunch

• She ate her sleeping pill and didn't wake up

• In the evening brough her out in the car for a drive and then she went back home and slept

• Not a good day. She hurts herself. Everytime she does that, a part of me die inside

Oct 13

• Wife is still not well

• I cooked some curry chicken today 

• In the evening we went to the park to give leftover bread to some fishes. Saw some turkey, deers as well as monkey

• End of the day wife is feeling a bit better 

Oct 14

• Ate lunch outside with wife after helping her do work

• In the evening pick up cleaner. She plans to stay the night before going home.

• Went to the mall in the evening since wife wants to get out of the house. Pick up H1 from uni and ate at Chillis. Did some shopping and went home around 10pm

Oct 15

Oct 16

• Playing a lot of dead cells every night. This game even addictive even with cheats. 

Oct 17

• Another doctors appointment today. This time is her psychiatrist and as usual I am the problem for her behavior. Sometimes I wonder does she sees me as a person or I am just here to make her happy at the expanse of my happiness. Sigh... Nobody is going to see this for a wihle so as much as I love my wife I think that she has stop being a wife to me and we are now more roomates 

• Ate at my burgerlab and they made a new roti canai beef and chicken burger. The burger is not bad. Basically it taste like roti canai

Oct 18 (unmemorable)

• It should be a lazy Saturday today but after class wife called the whole family to hang out and say we are doing things that she wanted to do 

• Went to eat some Mr. Mee. New menu with a bit high prices 

• We were supposed to bring mother in law for shopping but she replied us late and when we came back she went to sleep. In the end everybody just hangs in the house while I did some classes, exercise and played more dead cells 

• Told my best friend how am I feeling because brain has been acting up. I felt a lot better after telling him what was bothering me. In my mind I thought we were a couple but that is just my minds way into getting a dopamine hit. I miss that... getting a dopamine hit from someone. I hope one day I can get it for real. Get it like this its great but its not sustainable and it is not good for the long run 

• Something is wrong with my other best friend. But they have always been the private type so I don't want to pry

Overall this week has been a sucky start and a sucky end. I think that is how life goes. Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. A brain reset is important and I think I need to stop doing the other thing as well. Next week the only thing in the schedule is wife minor precedure. Other than that is just things as usual. I need to be better 

John Wick

It's been forever since I watched this 

What is it about?
A retired hitman comes out of retirement after some kids stole his car and kill his dog 

The Good
The story is simple but what makes John Wick great is the action 
The action is amazing, and even for the first movie. There is still a lot of action to go around albeit in smaller set pieces 

The Bad
This story has plotholes where this time John could have easily died multiple times 

The Ugly
It ends. Like if they didn't make this into a franchise you can watch the first movie and be done 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: One of the greatest action movies of all time. A must watch 

New Star GP

One of the best racing simulators I've played 

Game no: 562

Genre: Racing 
Platform: PC (Steamdeck)
Release Date: 2023

I got this game on the steam sale and decide to be the game that I played on my Steamdeck. At first I thought it was just another arcade F1 racing game but boy I was wrong. This game takes the simulation aspects of F1 and adds an arcade flair to it to make it streamline and fun to play. Let's dive in what I am going to say the best racing game I played this year.

 You start New Star GP as a rookie racer (you can customise if you are a man or woman) and thne you are trust into the 1980s where F1 is gaining popularity.

In this game you have to manage the entire F1 season. Which means getting a pit crew, a chief engineer and as well as a promoter. They will give you a specific perk based on the races that you win. Each perk is essential to winning the race. Each decade has 10 racers. Everytime you fly to a new country you need to compete in different arcade racing events like time trials, checkpoints, reverse track and finally the GP. You need to win the race in order to get credits. You need credits to upgrade your car since you can't win
with a stock car. The amount of detail and depth needed for each season is amazing and the way they package it is easy to play and understand. Let's talk about the perk system. The perks range from less collision when being hit, faster refueling and changing tyres and also getting extra money if you win the race with certain conditions. 

The main gameplay is the GP. The whole season there will be a story involving our racer. The story is dynamic and it will change depending on a lot of conditions. Conditions include winning racers, overtaking rivals and also drama in your own team. During the season you will encounter decisions that you have to make. These decisions includes trying to make your pit crew happy. A happy crew will make your you perks better and an unhappy crew member will cost them to quit their job. There are also some shady people will ask you to try to stop your rival by giving you a lot of money. The GP itself is very challenging since once you go in the GP, you are not allowed to restart the game. It only works once (until you have the perk to restart the GP again). 6 laps and you need to figure out when is the best time to pit and chang tires. Also when yo use your boost. What makes the GP amazing is that anything can happen. The first place can have a tyre blowout that will cause you to take first place. 50 racers and each race is thrilling. 

What I don't like about this game is that the economy is not that great. I think the reason is that you need to play a couple of seasons to upgrade your car fully. Other than that this game is near perfect arcade racer. As I end my review I am going to say this if you love F1 and you love racing. This is the game to play. Overall this is confrimed to be in my top 10. Not sure yet will it make the top 3. But this is for sure an S-Rank game

and Roger

A touching game about memories 

Game no: 561

Genre: Others 
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2025

and Roger is a game about family and lost. When you start this game  you are greeted with a dot. You click the dot and then another dot appears.. you click it and so on and so fourth. During the gameplay you are given a story. At first it seems like a mystery and then it evolves to a beautiful love story and then it goes back to sadness. This is a touching story on what happens if you lose the most important thing. Your memories. This game is basically what happens when you have dementia and how the people that love you deal with it. As far as gameplay is just a simple point and drag adventure with some unique prompts. Nothing to special. This game is more a story rather than a game. So in the end (which is only an hour by the way) you'll leave the game with a mixed of emotions. I give this a S-Rank

Sword of the Sea

Journey meets Tony Hawk 

Game no: 560

Genre: Action 
Platform: PS5
Release Date: 2025

This game tells the story about a warrior that uses a sword as a hoverboard. He needs to traverse the barren land and connect it so that the creatures of the sea can roam freely. Basically the land is dead and he is tasks into giving some life to it. 

The game is simple enough. You control the warrior through the vast open desert waves and while jumping you will do some tricks. Along the way to you will some envirornmental puzzles as well as collected some shards which will you use to upgrade your board. That's about it. I mean a game doesn't have to have that much depth and sometimes they don't need to. This game reminds me of Journey where is the jouney (pun intended) that counts and you don't need complicaed mechanics. You are there just to enjoy the game and view.

I do like that this game doesn't stay your welcome. It is a good 3 hours and then it is done. Short and sweet. In between there is a story but it is told without dialogue so you need to read the other descriptions to get what is it about (I didn't pay attention to the story that much) The only thing I do not like that much is that some snowboarding sections are a little difficult and it can get a bit frustrated 

In the end the Sword of the Sea is a great game to relax and unwind. Great soundtrack. Amazing visual and just at the right time. The perfect game for a night or a couple of nights. I will give this an S-Rank 

Scandal Season 4

This is an Olivia centric season 

This season: The team is disbanded. The Fitz is mourning th eloss of their son. The Team got back together and trying to take down B613. Mille is running for Senator among the highlights

Bad guys: The bad guys in shows looks like they are always winning. Everything the good guys do doesn't seem to work even in the last minute. Whihc makes for good television

New Roles: Olivia Pope associates are now a 3 member team with Quinn and Huck are the fixers. I think the smaller team makes it more effcient to run. Abby is now at the White House which is a different insight all together 

Cliffhanger? In the end everything changes but we do get a bit of a happy ending. Can't wait to see what happens in season 5. Which this has another 3 more seasons of

Novocaine

Imagine having this as your superpower

What is it about?
A guy with the ability to not feel pain goes on a quest to rescue a girl 

The Good
The story is easy to understand and gets to the action right away 
The scenes are really brutal and yet I can't look away 

The Bad
The ending scene is a bit too far fetch. After a while I got bored 
The amount of blood he loss. He may not feel pain but eventually he is going to faint 

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Its an okay movie, I enjoyed it 

The Irrational Season 1

Irrational thoughts can really make bad decisions 

What is it about? Dr Alec Mercer is a behavior science professor that uses the mind to help solve crimes. He is help with his two teaching assistants, his ex wife which in the FBI and sister. As well trying to solve his own mystery 

Case of the week: It's the standard show where every week there is a murder and they have to solve the crime. Sometimes there isn't a murder but all the time there is an element of behavior involve.

Real world theory: The methods that Dr Mercer use in this show is real and sometimes you are wondering does this can happen

Cliffhanger ending: Season 1 ended well but they did a time jump 6 weeks later. Probably due since season 2 is confirmed

Last Breath

Based on a true story 

What is it about?
The true story about underwater pipe engineers need to save one of their own

The Good
The story is a good length. I think nowadays 90-120 minutes a good length for a movie 
The way they shot that underwater scene is really scary 

The Bad
Everything happen in the span of 45 minutes. But it seems so slow 

The Ugly
Nothing much. It is a enjoyable movie

After Credits: No

Verdict: It is an okay movie. Nothing special

This week has been a low key week. Nothing out of the ordinary happen which is great. Classes as usual. Mom was here for a long time so that is something.
