I recently went to Bali and was surprised how low the trip costed me. (86k for 2 people including flights on a 9 day trip). Nusa Penida was heaven. This is one of the picture I took.

A few more arrivals today. Call of Duty World at War is a rare piece which comes with a flask. The COD Black ops 2 is also a cool looking one with the steelbook and the coins. Tomb Raider is also not a common one. Lucky to get all these in a UK auction on eBay. Destiny LE was cheap so picked it up. The Uncharted 4 cd is from the press kit which is super expensive. Can’t afford that, however was lucky to get only the CD for cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The game is visually stunning with a nice amount of detail but also fails to make an impact outside that. The quests have been boring for something that is rated 10/10 by multiple media sites. The controls are whack. The pacing is a complete snoozefest. It deliberately slows everything down. It sure sets a benchmark for everything but gameplay/quests. Can't ignore how much they have put work in it to make it look beautiful but all that fades away after few hours when the entire package is just mediocre so far. The game claims over 100+ hours of quests but it is just dull. There is no point to extend the game by adding a lot of forgettable quests just to pad the game time. Would rather have 20-40 quests with properly paced and interesting story than having 100+ quests of a snooze with few good moments here and there to keep you awake while playing. Plus, too many missions follow a similar structure. So many missions just involved me killing waves of baddies while on foot, only to transition to me then escaping on a horse and gunning down those in pursuit. A game with so much combat fails to keep up with basic AI and that's where things get boring/trivial with gameplay. They seem to offer no real tactics or strategy and if not chasing you on horseback, they just often stand still in a designated spot or hide behind cover. Sure, some enemies may charge at you, but there was no true strategy whatsoever. It's not difficult either. It's just the bad controls make it look hard than it truly is. Sometimes the game will throw an extra bunch of enemies at you to kill and thus artificially increasing the challenge. Besides environmental changes and some set pieces, the fights feel similar most of the times. It would have been fun if there was actually any strategy involved. It is just too simple to keep things interesting for 100+ hours. Side activities are strictly okay-ish and common with most open-world games. Nothing outstanding, nothing bad in that department. Hunting is pretty meh. The whole pseudo survival is half-baked and completely unnecessary. Overall it is just another good game with outstanding visuals but aside that nothing screams 10/10 OMGBBQBESTGOTY. But hey, it's Rockstar, so 10/10 automatically pours in despite outdated AI, dull quests, pacing, lame survival mechanics, etc.

Of course...

Finally something to fill up the void from the loss of the special edition Also did an unboxing video in Hindi this time, in case some one is interested

Thanks to @santanu18 deal post.. Rs 198/-

If you are looking for some family/comedy shows then I'd recommend these: The Goldbergs - not new but new season aired recently. Still going well so far. The Good Place - season 3 aired. Fresh Off the Boat - season 5 aired. The Kids Are Alright - new show. 3 episodes aired so far. Kind of like The Goldbergs but more kids. It's decent so far. For some drama, check out Killing Eve. Dystopian drama - Handmaid's Tale Crime Drama - Peaky Blinders (British) / Sneaky Pete (American) Legal and political drama - The Good Fight Some more ruthless drama - Billions Some sci-fi - Altered Carbon Some dark comedy - Barry Heist show - La casa de papel (Money Heist) All are fairly new / 2-3 seasons in.

My Flipkart BigBillion/Amazon GreatI Indian Fest Gaming Purchases Upgraded my entire PS setup that I've been using since the past 4yrs or so. Almost everything I was using previously with my base PS4 was bought in that 1st Big Billion sale in Oct 2014. All prices mentioned below are after bank discounts/cashbacks 1. PS PRO Official Indian Unit (Flipkart) - 30k 2. 4K UHD HDR10 Gaming Monitor (Amazon) - 35k Was using a Dell FullHD Monitor with my base PS4 Previously (ever since I got the base PS4 in Oct 2014, that was the first Big Billion Sale day ever). A TV would have been much cheaper but I've always been a Console+Monitor gamer so this was perfect for my need and viewing distance (less than 1 feet). Easily the best display I've ever used, first I connected my 2017 Macbook Air to check the 4K, MBA with this monitor makes the normal MBA screen look like a GameBoy Advance ka display Really flawless monitor, I was really not expecting this big of a difference but Spiderman Running on Pro & This Monitor >>>>>>>>>>> FullHD Base PS4 Spiderman The 4K Monitor jump weirdly feels even bigger than a jump from say a 40inch 1080p TV to 40inch 4K TV. Mainly due to fact that the low viewing distance with monitors amplifies every little detail, good or bad. But yeah, Amazing jump. Truly surpassed my exceptions, even using a game like Spidey as example that runs from 50-70% of 4K. What is increasing the overall picture quality so much (almost 2 or 3 times better) apart from the resolution bump is HDR. Monitor switches to HDR seamlessly, even has a really good FakeHDR emulation setting for NonHDR stuff. When the title does support HDR, you don't have to do anything and the monitor does the switch automatically. The GAME modes of this monitor are insanely well calibrated and so so refined. It's pretty amazing how well calibrated the default settings of this monitor are. Will try HZD next as I guess that is the only proper 4k game. Will try god of war soon too. Monitor even has freesync, only xbox one X supports it though. I hope ps5 uses this too, at least that way the monitor will be useful even in next gen when we actually see True4K console games. 3. PS Gold (1st gen) Wireless Headset (Amazon) - 5.7K Again, huge jump in the sense of immersion as I've always used normal headphones (<2k ones) plugged into the DS4. The VSS effect is really good. 4. APC BX1100C-IN 1100VA 230V Back UPS (Amazon) - 4.6K Replaced my puny CHAMPION UPS Sad that I wont be able to sing this song whenever there is a power cut anymore 5. Spidey and AC:O (Flipkart) - 5.6K Combined Total Fatka - 80.9K EDIT - Noticed another major improvement. Might not matter to the majority but I use it at times. Just tried Macbook Remoteplay with the PRO. Holy sh*t, It is so much better than the base PS4 remote play. Base PS4 Remote play is good with Vita/PS4 direct connection but the PC/Mac remote play apps were not as smooth. Mainly because the base PS4 takes about 100ms to process the image on the fly so no matter how good your router/ps4/mac setup is, there always is 100ms + networking lag. With Pro, that 100ms lag is GONE. Even on 1080p/60Fps Mac remoteplay (with the PRO hardwired to a router) I could not notice ANY LAG whatsoever. Smoothest Remote play experience ever. No reason to remote play on the vita now. Pro>Router (Via Ethernet) and Router>Mac (Via 5ghz Wifi) feels INSTANT. Mac almost feels like a monitor that is attached to the pro in this case. Incredible stuff.

Devil May Cry TV Series (Animated) is incoming. Castlevania (Netflix) producer Adi Shankar has acquired the rights to the series. It will be set in the same universe as the Netflix Castlevania. No details yet on how both the series would work jointly in the same universe. According to Adi Shankar, this was possible because the Castlevania TV show was highly successul. In fact, it was so successful that Netflix immediately green-lighted the 3rd season and made the announcement very soon to the release of the 2nd season. From the Article: IGN can confirm that an animated-series adaptation of Capcom's popular video game franchise, Devil May Cry, is in the works. The series will be developed by Castlevania executive producer Adi Shankar. Shankar, in an exclusive interview with IGN's Jacki Jing, also revealed that his Devil May Cry series “will join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.” While Shankar didn't give us any specifics in terms of what this all means for the series' overall story, he did inform us that he "acquired these (Devil May Cry) rights myself so the jabronis in Hollywood don’t f*** this one up too." Shankar's financial investment should allow him more creative freedom, as he begins to build this wildly ambitious multiverse of his. Shankar attributes the Devil May Cry series announcement to the success Castlevania, which he says, "really over-performed. It did crazy well. We immediately got greenlit for Season 3.” Thanking the fans who made this all possible, Shankar said, “I wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for the fans."

1. Kingston 240GB SSD (Flipkart) - 2.5k Replaced my default PS PRO 1TB Hard drive with this. Also turned the default drive into an external HDD for the Pro itself. Feels really snappy. Have all 22 Games I currently own installed to the external HDD of pro while the 2-3 games that I am actively playing are on the SSD. Load times are 40-60% faster than the default drive across the board. Nice upgrade imo. 2. Ipad 9.7 2018 (6th Gen) (Flipkart) - 20K Was a Windows Guy since forever, got MacBook Air 2017 around Oct last year. Haven't touched a Windows PC since then. Felt like giving this a try since my previous experience with android tablets was really awful Amazing purchase, been using it since 3 days. Loving it so far always felt like buying the surface pro but MS India completely ignores the Indian market always so this is a great buy for me. Can do almost 99% of stuff that I do on the MacBook. Only con is that the charging time is 4 HOURS LONG 0-100% takes 4 f**king hours. Backup is amazing though, easily lasts 2days for me with kind of heavy usage. Still, 4hr charging time in 2018 is insane.

I think most people just expected it to be a sequel to Red Dead Redemption: the only good western game made in the medium. What they got was a pretentious game design, a sluggish and Blood Meridian-wannabe storyline, and an obsession with “realism” that actually deflates the gameplay. Shooting people is a bore and unsatisfying & item storage is painfully clumsy and looks fugly. But its early hours yet and the world looks National Geographic beautiful.

sh*t photographs. Great headphones. Loving them.

Played straight for 4 hours. Right from the moment the game unlocked at midnight until about 4:15 AM. Had to stop only because I have to be at work tomorrow. Game shows 9.7% completion (on the 'Save' screen, under the 'Story' option in the pause menu). Now, my initial thoughts about the game: First things first, the game is slow. No doubt about it. If you are expecting a fast-paced action/adventure game, look elsewhere. Everything, right from the way Arthur walks or moves, to the way the story is paced, everything is 'slow' (for the lack of a better word). Some might even call it kinda 'clunky' (the movement), I guess. I can totally imagine why some execs from GameStop (or whoever they were) fell asleep in the first 2 hours of the game. Personally, I'm totally fine with it. It sorta follows the same DNA of the first game. And, in all honesty, that is the charm of the series. That's what makes it different from other action/adventure games. Despite the pace being slow, the game is entertaining. More so, because of the quirky dialogues and the world. In terms of graphics, this is THE BEST looking open-world game I've seen/played. How they've done it, is beyond me. It's a technological marvel. Not so long ago, I was wondering how Spider-Man had the polish of a Naughty Dog game, despite being an open-world game. And now, I can't wrap my head around how Rockstar have achieved that same Naughty Dog level of polish/detail in an open-world game, which is several times larger than Spider-Man. It's mind-boggling. I am using the auto-aim (which was the default setting) and I'm fine with the gunplay as well. Using the bow for hunting was a little irritating for me. Need to spend some more time with it, I guess. BTW, the first two chapters are like the tutorial/prologue (or whatever you want to call it). For anyone trying the game, it'll be best if you at least start the third chapter and play for a little bit after that since that's when the game goes 'open-world', so to speak. The characters are interesting, especially since I've played the first game, and I want to know more about these characters (the ones who were there in the first game). Very well-written. And then come the little details, the highlight of the game so far, IMO. There are tons of it. A little too sleepy to mention them now, so will write a separate post later. Yes, I encountered several of them in just the 4 hours. Enough to warrant a separate post for it. Sorry for the wall of text, but overall, a superb game so far. Loving it. And can't wait to play more of it.

No stuff from net here.. Just thought of sharing this.. Not a poem writer of any sorts but wrote this randomly... The UNKNOWN In life , the things we say the things we do all have a reason, But the urge to know its purpose remains unknown, Just like the purpose of shadow to our body, We remain calm and assertive only to get excited for those smaller moments, Those we cherish all our lives only to live the unknown, Happiness is something we aim for but we get sad in the process of getting it, Only to enjoy it more in the process of knowing the unknown, We do good deeds , we do bad deeds either selfless or selfish, But we do it only to try joining the path of the unknown, To sum it all up , be happy and spread happiness, Because we are all here together to travel the path of unknown...

@Joe Cool I visited J&K in May 2016. Some of the places I would recommend (that many tourists don't know) are Doodhpatri and Pahalgam. Doodhpatri is an Absolutely beautiful hill station in J&K. Not many tourists know about it, but it's a perfect, absolutely beautiful place. You just go there for the nature. Since not many tourists know about it, there are not many restaurants or tourist shops in that place, so you will have to bring lunch or eat on the way. It's absolutely perfect for a day trip. There were sheep/goat herders who come by sometimes in that area to feed let their animals graze, so it's an absolute delight. I would recommend you look at some of the google pictures here (I was able to visit these places) https://www.google.co.in/search?q=doodhpatri&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiS3eWT29DeAhWZT30KHQsPBfcQsAR6BAgEEAE Generally, they recommend that you go straight here, from Srinagar airport (having lunch on the way) before going to the hotel at night. Another absolutely awesome place I would recommend is Pahalgam. Book a room in Hotel Pine n Peak (It was Senator Pine n Peak when I went in 2016, but it's taken over by ITC in 2017, so it's now called Welcome Pine n Peak; but check just to be sure). It will be the stay of a lifetime. You will be on top of a hill, with a balcony and a garden out back, from where you can look at the fast flowing Lidder river (This is very clean and beautiful, unlike most rivers). Just below the hill is a road, which leads to pristine forests. It's absolutely amazing to go for a drive. This is in addition to Pahalgam itself, which is absolutely beautiful. Pictures of Pahalgam: https://www.google.co.in/search?tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=x3HqW5vYHov6wAPQk4f4Cg&q=pahalgam&oq=pahalgam&gs_l=img.3..0j0i67k1j0l5j0i67k1l2j0.43426.45262.0.45680.10.8.1.1.2.0.280.1120.0j2j3.5.0....0...1c.1.64.img..4.6.885...0i10k1.0.fZlg28qBDpA Pics from Senator Pine n Peak: https://www.google.co.in/search?tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=9nHqW5T_M42soASQ5K_gBg&q=senator+pine+n+peak+pahalgam&oq=senator+pine+n+peak+pahalgam&gs_l=img.3..0i24k1.44029.48370.0.48613.20.20.0.0.0.0.266.2935.0j12j3.15.0....0...1c.1.64.img..8.1.197....0.eW8lhSrJlCg Another place I would absolutely recommend you visit is Mughal Gardens in Srinagar. It's absolutely beautiful and well worth it. Again leaving you with pictures, since they speak far louder than words https://www.google.co.in/search?tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=PGvqW6ycDcen8AWA_7LYCg&q=mughal+gardens+srinagar&oq=mughal+gardens+srinagar&gs_l=img.3..0j0i8i30k1.1666241.1670720.0.1672127.23.18.0.5.5.0.254.2490.0j7j5.12.0....0...1c.1.64.img..6.17.2510...0i24k1.0.5g8LLCSEKm0 We also saw apple orchards on the way (which was beautiful), but the apples themselves were very small at the time. That said, now for some places that are over-rated. Gulmarg IMO is extremely over-rated. I heard in Nov/Dec it's open only to skiiers, but when I went (May 2016) it was absolutely over-crowded with tourists. You take an expensive horse ride and extremely long line to reach the (not so great) cable cars. If you are visiting, take your own lunch if you have to, but absolutely avoid the restaurant on the first level. It's not so clean and a member of our group, when we were visiting got sick from the food. The snow is also dirty due to the crowd and the beauty is also not quite there. The fact that you have to pay extra to go to Level 2 (higher on the hill) is also not that worth it. Frankly, a lot of people go with high expectations to Gulmarg, but end up disappointed (Though this might be different in Ski season, I don't know). Another over-rated thing is Dal Lake. Again same story, originally it was beautifu; but doe to over-crowding of tourists it's quite dirty. Do not go for a house boat in Dal Lake, since it's absolutely not fun being on a boat in a dirty lake. A friend of mine did it and regretted it. There are far more beautiful lakes in Srinagar/Kashmir that are more beautiful die to lack of tourists and I would advise you to visit there. BTW I apologise for the google pics. I currently don't have access to the ones I took (since I'm accessing IVG from outside), but I did see those places Also, in case you want the contact details of the person who showed us aound in Kashmir, message me. He is a native Kashmiri and knows an absolute lot regarding the places there (Both those common with visitors and the out of the way ones such as Doodhpatri, which no one knows about). He is basically a driver/guide who drives people around throughout Kashmir and Leh/Ladakh and guides people to various places at very reasonable rates. We were quite happy with his services. Now, regarding safety, I did not face any problems at all when I traveled. But when my friend traveled (The one who I mentioned stayed in Dal Lake House boat; he had travelled before me) in one place, he had came across some stone pelters. Though he himself did not have a problem and got away quite safely.

[FREE] Hitman - GOTY Legacy Pack (Includes full Season 1)

Better late than never ! Finally after juggling between OnePkus 6T, Xs Max and Note 9 Landing cost 57K including cash back.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bought this on Monday, 17th September, 2018 .

Ok so this has turned out to be one of my favourite games on ps4 so far and maybe even my personal GOTY. David cage and his team have knocked it out of the park with this game and are doing for the genre what ND do for linear action games and rockstar does for open world tiltes. After the middling walking simulator known as beyond two souls I was sceptical about this title but this feels like the like the true heavy rain sequel we were waiting for. This is easily quantic's best game and a landmark title in the genre. Stuff I liked: - Good story. It's nothing groundbreaking and the story beats are something that you might have all witnessed many times before but it's still well done and unlike previous David cage games It doesn't go completely loco by the 3rd act. Apparently he had 2 more writers with him on the project to keep him in check. - Excellent pacing throughout. Now a lot of you might end up thinking that the game is too slow at the start but I found the mundane tasks of the first 2-3 chapters to my liking in setting up the characters beautifully. It maintains that pace up until the 3rd act all the way till the end. - Great acting and voice work. The lifeline of the game and they do a great job for most part (minus some secondary characters) Connor and Kara are both likable from the start but what you do with Markus is completely up to the player, in a way he is the players reflection. The secondary characters are also very good the mo cap work in some of them are even better than the main leads (North and hank). There are some issues with voices esp when you make dialog choices the changes in tone can be a bit abrupt but those are very few and far between moments. Compared to their previous game this is on a completely different league. - Excellent production values. Incredible graphics with the best character models currently on any game. The game aims for photo realism and in terms of the character models it gets pretty damn close. Good bg score and music ( different composer for all characters) and really excellent art direction. It's a game set in the future but the world still feels familiar. - Branching paths. 2 words HOLY sh*t. I don't think anyone could have imagined what they did with this. The general consensus was it mostly will be like the other game and at most there might be 10 seconds of alternate dialogue and then funneled back to the same path. Wrong. Therebare lots of small and big choices with each of them having its own payoff. Like some supporting characters can die off early in the game or no. Some choices will give you a completely different level to play and some choices might skip some stuff all together. It's insane how much stuff they've added here. For eg right at the start a character is given an option to stay the night at 3 different places and depending on your choices the next chapter of that character will start from that place with its own (different) secondary characters.

But you just settled without a headphone jack, wireless charging, quad HD display, MicroSD support, water and dust resistance Just joking, probably the best phone in the price range, congrats.

AHAHAHAHAHA. Caught with their pants down. They rather sell through GTS instead of PayTM. They also have a storefront on Amazon India too. Glorious. Either it means they're running low on stock or just want to make more money through GTS direct sales. Tomorrow is going to be lit. Thank you kind sir. PS: Zauba is legit. And the addresses check out

Yeah with external drive support I really don't get HDD space complaints. Download size yes, but if you're running out of space just grab that old 1TB drive lying in your closet, transfer all the porn to another drive (or delete it if you're not the sentimental type) and connect it to PS4.

Soon. Got your back fam.

Daredevil season 3: Please do yourself a favour and watch it. This is the BEST thing Netflix has made. Best Marvel thing even. Not the movies. Not other shows. Nothing. This is the peak of Superhero shows and done right. No nonsense. Fantastic writing. There were a few slow moments but everything worked out extremely well. Amazing performance from every single one of them. Without a doubt, this is a must watch.

Just a quick heads-up to those using the Xbox one controller on PC and love button customization. The Xbox accessories app now supports unique profile creation, so you can now create a different profile for each game.
