i went over to carlin's place this afternoon with several friends and we ended up playing fifa world cup 2002 on the x-box for an hour or so. needless to say, i killed (i did however had to come back from a 2-nil deficit against carlin and ended up beating him 3-2. excellent!). the graphics were incredible; of course, they were much better than the fifa soccer 99 on the sony playstation (which i have). and the game play was better cuz when you pass, you have to direct the pass to your teammates and when you shoot, you actually have to aim more than before. of course, i played the english side and the players were fairly realistic (facially). a very enjoyable game indeed.

i'm so behind in the latest video game technology, what with owning a playstation and all. but then i'm not a big fan of video games, except maybe sports games. can't wait to check out the hockey game he got.

i need to research more regarding digital cameras. i would like one before i go on my trip to hk in late march. it would be nice to get it a week or so beforehand so i can familiarize myself with it. the one i like, the canon 230s, is still out of range for what i would like to pay (retail: $399). but according to samy's camera, they are completely sold out of the x-mas 2002 shipment and are on backorder.
