Funny Demotivator

Found this funny demotivator on the web, it's suppose to be a kind of picture to be hung on a office or meeting room, etc. If you watched the movie Mel Gibson's : Apocalypto, you would understand what's so funny about it. :) The words/sentence itself is a motivator, but the picture gave it a 'different' meaning. :D

God of War 1st Boss (PG, not for kids)

Finally, I actually 'made' some time to play this game, now I owe my body 3+ hours of sleep!
I know, this game is OLD, but I still haven't play it and the GameSpot guys actually giving this game a good grade, so gimme a break! :)

I beat this boss, FIRST BOSS, Hydra, at approximately 2+ hours !!! damn, I really need to catch up with the new games..
Of course, I haven't look at this video below before trying to beat the 1st boss. That's why I took around 45-ish minutes to finally found how to kill the 'minor' hydras. The damn things keep on reviving again and again, gosh! Finally I found out how to kill it; after I 'stun' one, make my way to the boxes beside of the thing, (hurry before it revives!!!) then jump up the boxes to reach a circle platform with a spiky thing underneath, nicely positioned just above the 'minor' hydra's throat. Jump on it and the spike sorta like 'locking' the hydra to the floor, then do the same thing with the other, then I can proceed to the top.

Climbing up the net, there it is, the hydra, the big one.. how to kill it? hmm... hack-slash-hack-slash-... so on, then after a while sometimes it shows an 'O' sign on the screen, telling me to push the 'O' button, then another then another, but hey, this thing can revive also..gosh! Then finally, after 1+ hour I killed it. Quite unexpected actually, as the hydra's energy is actually still quite high (20-25%). I guess games nowadays are required to have this kind of 'surprise', maybe to make the player feel more satisfied. Well, at least I am, I feel like I've killed the thing MYSELF (actually it was Kratos, the hero, who killed it :P), the graphic, the intense play, the 'surprise', and the killing is very very satisfying.
