I saw an anime over the weekend “Paprika”. It was directed by Satoshi Kon. I became a fan of his work after seeing “Millennium Actress”, which happens to be one of the best movies (not just anime) I have ever seen. His other movies include “Perfect Blue” and “Tokyo Godfathers”. I have seen Perfect Blue and have longed to watch Tokyo Godfathers. I was expecting a lot from Paprika but in the end it disappointed me. The movie is very well made and has a unique sci-fi theme but after watching the movie the sense of passing a good time wasn’t their. Its theme song is very catchy though. Have to search and download it.
I was able to update my X360 last week. So over the weekend I got “Ninja Gaiden”. It’s an Xbox game and is considered to be the best ever action game on any platform ever. In the past my X360 failed to run it. So after updating, I decided to try my luck again. And you know what it ran this time around. And the best part it was “Ninja Gaiden Black “, which can be thought of as a collector edition to Ninja Gaiden. In the end it was a unique experience. It’s really a great game with top notch graphics, controls, sound and Music. I had a great time playing as Ryu Hyubusa. Definitely one of the greatest action games ever made.
I have decided to start my workout. Hopefully I will join a gym today. I have brought my exercise gear with me so today will be the first day. Hope it goes well. I would be going to a gym after four years.
Yesterday talked with my father who is abroad for Umrah. He aksed me if i want something (just like old times). ever since he's there he has asked this for the third time and earlier i said i want nothing. well this time i was unable to resist (just like old times) so i told him to get a Wii with NTSC/UC region code, since its games are available in Pak. Lets see if He can get a Wii with NTSC/UC region code. My fingers are crossed.
I met someone very special last week. But I will save details of this encounter for another time.

Act6: For the Fallen
I have just bought two X360 games: The Darkness and Colin Mcrae Dirt.
The cover of Dirt reminds me of a friend of mine. On the cover the driver is standing next to a prolific Rally Car. The awesome car is manufactured by Subaru :)
Recently a great tragedy in the wrestling world has taken place. One of the premier WWE wrestlers Chris Benoit comitted suicide. Not only did he took his own life but he also killed his wife and his 7 year old son. He placed bibles next to their bodies which goes to show that his mind was really screwed over something. He than took his own life. And all of these events spanned atleast more than a day.
Chris Benoit was a face in wwe. In the wrestling Jargon a Face is a good wrestler who is fair and the crowd is behind him. The heel is the opposite of face, an evil guy who uses every dirty trick to achieve his goal. As per my knowledge Chris remained a face throughout his WCW and WWE carrer. He was taught by Bret Hart. Maybe not by him but by his older brother. So he was technically very sound. I was always a big fan of no nonsense wrestling of Benoit. I first saw him in WCW. I liked the way he would always keep going. fighting to the very end against much bigger opponents and always giving his 100%. His entrance musin was so electrifying. The moment it start playing it was awesome.
A guy who remained a face throughout his career did something so evil. There are many theories behind this event. One is the ill effect of heavy doses of steroids and painkillers on wrestlers. WWE claim that Benoit son was ill and had a mental illness which made him very upset and he couldn't handle it. Whatever the reason its a shame that a guy like Benoit had to go like this. Someone who has always remianed a hero throughout his career had to fall so low after his death. He deserved a much better farewell like the one scripted for him. Its like he tap out in real life which he rarely did in the ring
