Hitman, between game and movie.


I have been waiting for the movie "Hitman" for a long time, and finally I watched it because I am a super fans of this game. This game is developed by a company called IO in Denmark and it has 4 series so far. I remembered when I first played this game, I couldn't admire more about the great idea of the game: you acted as a hitman who named 47 to assassinate certain people for money. In addition, I have convinced my father to play this game and he really got into it. After several years later, it has become a movie, which was wonderful news for me. However, finishing the movie, I felt a little frustrated.

Although the movie was about Hitman, the scenarist just like created a new story based on the game. I totally could not find any connection between the movie and the game. Also, the actor who acted the 47 was not what I expected. Probably the one in the game has impressed me a lot but I won't say I satisfied with the movie. The actor was a little bit young so he looks not that mature except his stony expression.Furthermore, to my surprise, the agent 47 always stayed with a woman in the movie, which has completely destroyed the image of 47 in the game.

Well, I think it does not happens occasionally because if people really love a novel or a game, after they become a movie, every single change will make people uncomfortable so I don't wanna complain anymore and what should I do is go back to the game and enjoy myself haha.

This year is much better


It was snowing. Just several hours ago, nothing happened. But after I finished working and came out of the Market Mall, I was shocked by the scene in front of me---heavy snow. The first reaction that came to my mind was not how beautiful it was. However, at that spot, I realized I haven't wore anything!! Gloves, hats, thick clothes...nothing! So, surely, I had to suffer from the snow. It was true that I didn't stop sneezing and shivering until I arrived home.
Well, definitely, this year is much better than last year. I mean the weather. If you notice that, it was the first , standard and " official" snow of this year. The last month's snow was quite small that just like a joke. Compared to last year, today's snow was late. I was wondering these days because I could still wear thin clothes in November. This time of last year, it was minus thirty! Especially for me, it was extremely crazy and impressed me a lot because I used to wait for a bus for about forty minutes at this kind of temperature! But anyways, this is my second time to spend winter time in Canada so that I have enough experience to survive from the cold weather that could make people dead!

My Computer SUX


My computer really sucks mainly because its graphic card and memory. I didn't recognized they could become a big problem after I just bought; however, I was always baffled by them. For example, if I run more than three programs, my computer will lag, which made me feel uncomfortable. This problem is caused by memory , for it only has 1GB. If I want to download something, I had better leave my computer away, or some programs will not response so that I have to restart my computer.
The day before yesterday, I reinstalled my computer and I changed my operating system from XP to Vista. Well, definitely, the interface of the Vista looks cool, but this system takes about 7G that I found my computer became slower. Sometime it even got stuck when I was checking my E-mail. It's terrible.
Also, the graphic card is disadvange. If I use my laptop for study, it is totally enough. If I use it for playing games, the troubles will be coming. I remembered that I download 5 games but I could only play 2 of them becasue my graphic card could not support them. In addition, I cannot update these hardware because this is a brand computer. For me , a person who has played PC Games for nine years, it is the sadest thing.
But one thing that I almost forget is my laptop only costs 700 dollars. Haha. Not everything is bad.
