Sai's Gaming World

     If anyone ever wondered why the hell I am playing out dated old games like NFS Carbon, when Shift is out, planning for FEAR, when FEAR 3 is soon to be launched, Gothic 1 and 2, when Gothic 4 is to be launched, here is your answer:      Below is the specification of my grand old PC: Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ RAM : 1 GB DDR2 Hard Disk : 80GB Graphics Card : Inbuilt one with 256 MB video memory (this is the worst part) 15” Monitor DVD Drive: None (thx a lot for the pen drives) and a 9 year old speaker, but still working great :D      This is the reason I always used to play out dated games, but I hope, time to upgrade my PC will come soon :D

     Yeah!!! I got the Invitation to participate in NFS World Beta. I applied for this some 2 or 3 months back and was very eagerly awaiting for the invitation. Several Beta sessions got over and finally I got into the NFS World this time :D      Now the game has two major divisions of races. One is racing versus other players like PvP(normal races has a Single Player option too, not yet tried it) and the other is Pursuit with the cops like PvE. As far as I played, racing versus other players is very hard for me, but very rewarding though I get the last position.      The sad thing is my poor system cant handle the heavy World and crashes like every 30 minutes or so. Afterall, its just BETA still, so no worries.      I ll just post screenshots here… Will write more about the Beta later… My First Race: Got 7th Place Free Roaming   More details, Soon Regards Saiyasodharan

     Its been a long time since my last post. Its because I was not busy, but I became too lazy to write. Actually, I was not into hard core gaming for the past month. More than games, I had been spending a lot of time watching movies and anime. After I finished with the Carbon, I had been playing many classic games online with friends starting from Age of Empires 2, Counter Strike 1.6 to Call of Duty 2…      In all these games, Sridhar is the one who is accompanying me all the time, whereas Yuvaraj, Vivek, Arun, Jyothi Swaroop, Arun Balaji join us occasionally.      For a few days in these gap, I tried Half Life 2. The game was really fantastic, but an infamous “Stuttering Bug” got me. googled a lot to find a fix, but in vein. So, I uninstalled it.      Tried DoTA and this was the first time, I tried that game. The scope of the game is very vast with nearly 100 heroes with distinct skill sets and very...

Here are the links to my saved files of NFS Carbon: This is the saved file with 100% Career Completion: This one is with 100% Challenge Series Completion and numerous rides in Career Mode: How to apply the saved file: Extract the RAR files using WinRar. Copy the ASai folder to Documents/NFS Carbon. Start the Game.

     I played and completed all the challenge Series in NFS Carbon. I thought the challenges would be bloody hard as in Most Wanted. But, they are relatively easy when compared to the ones in MW. With some repetive playing and concentration, completed all the 45 Challenges and here is the screenshot of my profile statistics: Sai Game Stats      I dont know why, but after finishing the challenge, I went into career mode and found that all the data has been messed up. Though all my rides were safe, the Career Completion showed 0%, Anyway, I completed the career and so its not a big deal.      Time to uninstall Carbon now and get back a whooping 4 GB of free space in D Drive.

     Met the boss Darrius and rode with him on the Canyon in Palmont City’s outskirts. He was not like the other racers and gave really a hard time for me. I upgraded my SLR McLaren with all the Race Packages and raced with Darrius again. After a few retires, I finished him and completed the Career mode in NFS Carbon.      The game is not over yet. There is a big array of races in the Challenge series. As in Most Wanted, I decided to play the Challenge series and try to complete it. I completed all the bronze and silver races and I personally think that the challenges are not as hard as they were in Most Wanted.      From the starting itself, I missed something in carbon. I dont know what it is. Maybe I love Most Wanted too much than any other. Even after completing the career, I felt Carbon is just another racing game and nothing special. But wait... I started playing the drift races and they are addictive. Everytime I mak...
