TinierMe Closing


---

Unfortunately I received an email today that TinierMe is closing on December 10, 2012. They already stopped accepting new user registration last November 9, 2012.. It's sad thinking about all the kids playing this game who exerted too much effort and probably even money just to enjoy playing this game. ;p

I signed up to TinierMe last March 30, 2011 but stopped playing a couple of months after which I think is somewhere in September or October 2011.



Frankly, I got addicted to playing this game up to the point that I even purchased G-Coins just to get items I wanted which I think accummulated to atleast 30 US Dollars. Played every day but got tired after a couple of months plus my PC at work got problems in loading flash.. Hmm.. Maybe I'm just too old for that game? ;p Seeing the kids chatting and playing and then became showing off their too expensive items and ranting online, I got tired of it. Turned me off.. But it's sad really seeing those kids addicted to living online and for what? Now TinierMe is shutting down and what would happen now to the lives they've built on it? Nothing.

Anyways, it's been fun playing TinierMe. It's really fun dressing-up my avatar. I'll give you a quick tour on my account. :)

Movie Review: James Bond Skyfall 007


Watched "Skyfall" the 23rd James Bond movie featuring Daniel Craig as James Bond and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva (the villain). Watched it last night together with some friends at Cine Royal, Khalidiya Mall, Abu Dhabi, UAE. It's been a while since I last watched a movie at Khalidiya Mall and it's my first time to watch a James Bond movie starring Daniel Craig. What can I say?

About Cine Royal, Khalidiya Mall: The ambiance is nice and comfty, I really like it compared to other cinemas I went in to here at Abu Dhabi, UAE. Though, I'm surprised that there were too much commercials and trailers as expected and the movie did not start on time. My popcorn is almost 1/4 when the movie actually started. The movie is PG15 and kids are not allowed so we need to send Chloei home first, thankfully we had enough time before the movie actually started.

About Skyfall: The trade mark of James Bond movies, great opening clip showing the usual credits and Adele singing the OST is just awesome, I really like Adele songs. This James Bond movie is not what I expected though.. Not much extravagance, in my terms I will say it seems like a normal movie.. Not James Bond at all.. Maybe I say this because not much of fight scenes and the intrigue which usually flows with the Bond girl is not that much.. Plus there where no new gadgets.. The car is not that flashy also, LOL.. ;p I feel it's just bits and pieces of a real James Bond movie.. I'm guessing this movie is just a prelude for a make-over of the James Bond series for the future. You know.. Changing many things in it, including character portrayals. I don't like spoilers so better not mention any. ;p

Overall, for me, it's not that bad but not that good either.. It's quite different from the usual Bond movie but learned lot of things in it though like James Bond's background. Is it worth watching? Some say not. But yes it is still worth watching, for the experience of it since James Bond is now in it’s 50th year. ;)
