Gameplay: 9/10 Visuals: 8.5/10 Audio: 8/10 Controls: 9/10 Pros: Amazing graphics, cool multiplayer, tight controls and great gameplay. Cons: Framerate sucks, menu system does not improve from the console versions and tweaking graphics has to be done outside the game in a different program. - Neversoft - Activision

Spiderman is my best and favourite comic character or just plain character period. When I heard they were gonna make a movie out of the comic book, I jumped with pure joy like none before! I thought that that was the best idea anyone could ever think of! I just hope the movie will be as great as the comics! With the coming of the movie next month, I thought I'd design a spiderman wallpaper just for fun. In the end, I loved it so much that I decided to post it here! Well here you are, just for you. Have a good day! - Spiderman Movie Official Site

Argh!! I'm just tired that's all. Anyway, there's a new tutorial in the tutorial page. It involves basic html tags. If you already know them, I doubt they're of any help to you.

Basically, it includes things for beginners in HTML programming. The tutorial does not include ways of uploading your website onto your host either through FTP or web-based uploading tools. If you would like to know how, you will have to wait. Unless you cannot, you can find a lot of tips/hints out there on the net involving FTP clients and ways to upload your website(s). Anyways, I'm sure your webhost gives information about FTPs.

Good day now.

Hiya again! How are you doing? I'm great! Just a bit tired after updating this site a bit. There were a few bugs goin on around here so i had to fix that. I'm going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia sometime at the end of this month. Again, less time to update this site. Hey anyone out there wanna join this community?? I would highly consider those who knows a bit of HTML.

Oh I would also love to welcome our latest member, minotaur. He's our new graphic designer and hopefully will be involved in many other different sections in the future. Anyway, enough of that.

I've added four new wallpapers. Three anime wallpapers, GATEKEEPERS, with different background colours, available in only one resolution (sorry). And then in conjunction with MDChronics' 1 year anniversary, I made a wallpaper for the community. It is also our current featured wallpaper. Check all four at the wallpaper section.

Anyway, cheers!

Freudian Slip features a webcomic about two main characters, Megaman and the Author of the website. The site is great for a bit of laugh but you might have to do a lot of waiting for every next episodes. Each episode consists of 4 strips of comic saved in an image format. The site is fairly fast and downloading the comic strips does not take that long.

The waiting is a bit frustrating though. You read four boxes then you'll have to wait for the next episode which you might not know when it will come out. Still, the plot is funny and it can add in for a bit of laugh while you surf on the net. Check it out! It doesn't hurt to do so.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've actually updated this website, but here I am and the website is officially done (except for the tutorials page). I've been busy lately dealing with the University I'm applying since my A level results just came out. Now I've been given a part time job at my former school as an Administration Assistant. Thank god the job is very interesting - atleast to me. Most of the time, it mostly involves computer work like designing covers and stuffs. I'm also suppose to update the school's website. I'll link it here when i'm done with that.

That also means that I might not be able to update this site as much as I used to but hopefully there will be a number of new members to help me out with the updates. Trouble is, it's hard to find people who I can trust! Kiran's back in India at the moment that's why he hasnt been updating himself. We need more people. If you think you can be trusted, drop us an email. We might consider you but expect the unexpected. It's hard to find someone to trust when we haven't actually met. Remember though, you must be a resident of Brunei Darussalam or Singapore to join the team (we might consider another country but we're not sure yet).

Right, so I'll see you then.
Have a good day!

"Make your life a mission -- not an intermission." - Glasgow

"Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin is a sequel to the underground hit Hitman Codename: 47. You return as 47, an assassin with a bar code on the back of his head, for another twenty-one missions of stealth and death. Missions take you around the globe: Italy, St. Petersburg, Japan, North Africa, and Malaysia. Featuring a new engine, many gameplay issues have been resolved. The interface has been simplified and improved, you can play in both first- and third-person views, you can now store equipment you find instead of having to purchase it, and mission briefings and hints have been made more comprehensive. Several new weapons have been added, like the crossbow, and the use of disguise made more complex."

"I admit: The new Hitman 2 trailer looks pretty neat. The game has you reprising your role as a genetically engineered assassin, mixing action, adventure, and a good measure of creativity. But I swear, if it doesn't let you save your game during a mission this time around, I'm gonna flip out." - gamespy - read info << - download trailer (.zip format) <<

Even encrypted files and folders on a hard drive are tempting to investigate. Why not completely hide them so that no one even knows they're there? StealthDisk enables you to completely hide any files, folders, or applications on your hard drive. Once you invoke StealthDisk with a secret hot-key combination, any files you select vanish. Directory searches, file searches, and software audits will not reveal the existence of any hidden items. When you want to access the files or run the games that you've hidden, simply press another hot-key combination to unhide them. This shareware version is fully functional, with the following restrictions: There is a 10MB limit on hidden files, and you can create only one group of files to hide.

This is a series of essays written for the various American universities I am applying to. Most of them are of the introspective/reflective type. American universities love this type of nonsense as it allows them to evaluate you from a different aspect. They love that I-made-a-mistake-but-I-have-turned-over-a-new-leaf or I-am-a-changed-person-after-that-incident and stuff like that. Personally, I think it is a load of bullshit because anyone can just make this stuff up - it's just too easy. Not that I made these up. I really feel what I wrote in my essays but still, the possibilty always exists.......

As the topic say, the photographic section is already up. Soon you will be able to view many different photos taken by members of totallycows but the at the moment we have 3 photos to offer you. Check them out in the photograhic section (labeled photo in the lefthand menu).

Cool! Now we're got only a few more sections to put up before we're ready to rumble!! I mean before we're officially open. So you have a nice day browsing through our website and have a good day.

"There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence and a rejection of mediocrity." - Buck Rodgers

Just a few more updates until this site if fully functioning. I have only the photos and tutorials section to put up and then we begin! Bwahahaha!!!

Anyway, I added two new things last week which, from the title, you could've already guessed. TotallyCows has been included in the 'Carta Laman Web Brunei Paling Popular' which is a chart for websites made by Bruneians. I haven't actually checked which place we are at lately but please vote for us!! We will be greatly appreciated.

Then there's the search engine. I've been meaning to put that up but thought it was still too early. Now, after uploading a couple of stuffs, we really need that to help make your life in our website easier. It took me awhile to actually redesign the look to fit in with the whole website and so far, it turned out great! If you ever need to search for anything in our website, you know now where to do that. Also, you can use it to search the web with it. Just change the option!

I've also tried adding this website to many different search engines and hopefully that will work to bring more visitors into this website. One more thing, I just uploaded the about page and updated the Sites and links section.

Also, if you are interested to link your work here, please send us an email through contact@totallycows.cjb.net for more information. You will then join and be apart of our community which we call, coexeans. For more information about coexeans please see the about section.

I've also got my online journal up atlast. I've linked it below so feel free to check it out! Guess that's all. Good day then!

"What?! You want to join ballet?!" That's usually the first response I elicit when I utter the taboo word ''ballet". Either that or hysterical laughter. Even my ballet class teacher (who also happens to be my ex-Geography teacher and a Very good friend) could nOt contain his surprise and laughter over the phone when I first informed him of my honorable intention. I did not even dare telling my mother- I didn't even want to THINK of her reaction.

But I don't get it. What's wrong with joining ballet? Is it wrong to be able to get in touch with your feelings? Is-it wrong to make people feel the emotions that touch your soul? Is it wrong...? I can't help it now can I if it helps me break the rigors of an overly science based curriculum?

I have always wanted to learn ballet since I was 15. Something about the art form attracted me to it the day l saw my first performance. Some how I never had the time to join a class. Studies, ECA, the usual excuses. So l waited patiently. Waited until I was 18 and free from any major academic responsibilities.

Oh well…..oh yeah, did I mention that I am a 6 feet 2, 200 pound, BIG, hairy (my friends say I have more hair than there are trees in the Amazon jungle) Indian male who plays RUGBY? I didn't? Damn, how could I have missed that?

For those of you who are budding photographers, below is a good site to enter competitive photography. Click on the link on the bottom of this message.

You can enter as many photos you want and every month, 24 photos are chosen by the agfanet.com people. Out of those 24, internet surfers rate the photos on a scale from 1 to 10. If your photo gets chosen, there some attractive gifts waiting! [digital camera I think].

Anyway, uploading photos is a bit cumbersome because for every photo you upload, you have send them back a Copyright Declaration that is SIGNED. Sooooo....hope you have a scanner. I don't but I have "borrowed" my friend's for the past one month. Good luck!

One more thing, the best time to take photographs would be either at dusk or dawn. I thought that was nonsense initially but after having experienced a beautiful sunset, I am a changed man.

The new .name Internet suffix was confirmed last Tuesday. It is aimed squarely at individuals for their personal website. Customers who pay an annual fee of roughly $30 get a three-tiered Web-site address, such as www.elvis.presley.name, and an e-mail address such as elvis@presley.name that can be forwarded to another account.

The company responsible (Global Name Registry), mentioned that .name addresses could eventually be used for cell phones and privacy-enhancing encryption codes, as well. So far, about 60, 000 customers have registered for the new address.

Two more domains have started up since, with no notable problems: .museum, reserved for museums, and .coop, for cooperative organizations. Scheduled to go live this year are .aero for the airline industry and .pro, reserved for doctors, lawyers, accountants and other professionals.

Here's a software that replaces post-it stickers if you are the kind of person who often uses it and needs to be reminded of frequently about your daily routine. Aversoft Sticker 2 has just been released. It is a skinnable desktop utility with a 15-day trial attached to it before you can register for a huge price of 15 dollars. The question that remains in our head is - is it worth the price? Although it does help clean your desk from messy post-it stickers but this thing is just too expensive. You can buy a pack of post-its for less than 2 bucks! Otherwise, it's a nifty program to help you, if you need to be reminded all the time.

Description: Aversoft Sticker is featured reminding program for Windows. Sticker can help you remember important information by displaying skinnable sticky notes on your desktop. Sticker allows to display as many notes as you wish and choose display priorities that let you hide some notes or place them on top of other windows. Sticker has skinnable interface and many cool skins. Skins may have different forms, sizes and background images.

You know what? I just realized today that teachers make the best friends. I accidentally met one of my ex-GP teachers and we talked for three hours. Ok, granted that she is pretty young [only 25 and she got married recently] but still, there is no person better to talk to than your ex-teacher...

Maybe it's me but I derive great pleasure in saying profanities in front of them and getting away with it. They don't mind anyway. They are pretty cool about it so who am I to complain? And oh, I do not mean to boast but she told me I am her favourite student! Yippie! Am I good or what?

I haven't taken a shower yet and here I am updating this website. Can you believe it?? I've been gone for about 2 days. I told myself I should control myself from getting online too much but couldnt help it any longer. I even went hiking with my girlfriend along with another friend to make myself stop thinking about my computer! hah! Anyway, I've got a couple of updates for you. Let's hope I can remember all of them.

First of, I made a new wallpaper for TotallyCows : Coexistence. Our first official wallpaper. It's a simple design based on this current website's theme. It is available in 3 resolutions. It's clean and has loads of spaces for your desktop. I set it up as a featured wallpaper for today, so check it out. Comments are welcome through my email which you can find in the contacts section, until maybe I set up something different for you to post up your comments.

Secondly, yes the contacts section. It's up but nothin much is there yet. I've still got loads of links to put there but I wanted to fill it in a bit. So if you feel like emailing the website for comments or complains, or sending a private email to us individually (current active staff : me and kiran) do not forget to see the contacts section.

I've also uploaded a new image in the graphic section. If you haven't seen the last one (Objects Of Fire) then go and visit that page now. The new image i uploaded is called Marble Of Hope. It is more of an art than just a normal image. Like I once said, I'm trying to get myself into the Digital Art world. Marble Of Hope is one of my 3D image that I designed lately and loved the outcome. Be sure to check it out.

Ryte. I think that's all. If you would like to request a certain wallpaper or tutorials or whatever, please email our website. Unfortunately, you cannot request for a new section at the moment as our skills and time are limited. Also, we are not about to take in new members at the moment until (maybe) when this site is fully fuctioning. Otherwise, Good day.

Wait, there's just one last thing. If you want to see our past news, click on the news section. It contains news archive of this website. You'll only be able to see it for awhile. Past news will be deleted once its outdated. The purpose of the news section is for visitors to view news that they missed. Aight then. bye.

Did the title catch your eye? Here's a game with a weird name. Do not let the title fool you. Try it out first and then criticize. This will not waste your time, after all the download file is only 5Megs so go on and see how it goes.

Description: The sequel to the amazingly popular "Catch the Sperm" game from the Swiss STOP AIDS Campaigne. An action/arcade game that increases awareness about the spread of disease...and features really cute sperm.

It's saturday and looks like i'm not going out tonight. bummer. Anyway, I added a 3D image i made yesterday which I called "Objects of fire". Originally, it's suppose to be "Rings Of Fire", i have no idea why i changed it.

Have you read kiran's article? Project Alpha i mean. Really cool and very interesting. If you have read "CHAT" before by Nan McCarthy, you'll know what kind of thing you'll be expecting. Intead of email and chat session like "CHAT", this one takes place through iCQ messaging. Just a bit of information about the article in case you have your own thoughts.

Have to go now.
Enjoy the website and please come again.

"When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity." - John F. Kennedy

Project Alpha is basically a transcript of my ICQ conversations with a classmate of mine with whom I had the most interesting time online with. It was inspired by a -cybernovel- CHAT by Nan McCarthy. It's long but I can guarantee you it is not boring. For those who would like to contact me about the article, mail me at archie1@pacific.net.sg.

IOTA was written for the school magazine on the request of a GP teacher. I will give you a synopsis of the article so that you will be better able to understand it. The article is a very bold and frank "lecture" telling people to wake up and get on with their lives. The problem is that a lot of Singaporean students get disillusioned with the "system" (the educational system which is very rigorous, rigid and tiring) and thus blame it for the miseries in their lives. I was able to write the article because I had been through the same stage when I was in J1. Although it is in the Singaporean context, I am sure the idea is universal.

*Note: for those who do read the article, PAP stands for People's Action Party, one of the local political parties

To read both article please refer to the article section.

The wallpaper section is up and so are the rest of the pages but you will not find anything there except pages saying "underconstruction". Like I said only the wallpaper section is currently available. You still won't see much there except for our featured wallpaper "anakbrunei v2".

I just recharged my handphone credits and now i'm having trouble with the receptions. It's probably the location of where I live. Yesterday it was working fine... hehe just felt like mentioning something out of the topic.

I have yet to contact the rest of coexistence's staff for their information and the files they want to post. You on the other hand, be patience my friend until the day when this site evolves. C ya!

Just a really small update. I added the 'news' menu. This section is where you can refer archives of our past news that you might have missed. I also changed the 50x50 icon of my photo from my cartoonie image to my blue eye.

Btw, if you would like to link us, please us the 88x31 gif image of the affiliate column on the left hand side of this website. Currently, link it to http://totallycows.tripod.com until a new url is provided.

Alryte then, I will try to update more pages by tomorrow but no promises. i sort of have plans for tomorrow but if that ends soon, i might start with this website. I'm also suppose to update syaf studio but i'd have to take a raincheck. i wanna finish with this one first then try to update my website.

One more thing i forgot to mention. Below the affiliate section, you can see a thumbnail of a wallpaper i made a week ago for
Good day.
