Xbox One OR PS4?

northwayfaller — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 22:03:49 +0800

Hey guys, im planning to get a next-gen console soon and am pretty much stucked between the two. Im not the most hardcore gamer in the world and i wont be buying every AAA title as soon as it comes out. My main focus will 80% be on FIFA along with some racing , fps and comic book games thrown in in between.

Personally i like the XBOX One controller but i prefer the PS4 console shape. I also heard that PS4 has better processing and graphic power. I would like to future proof my console as im not looking to buy every console as it comes out. Im not really concerned about console exclusive titles as well.

I do however notice that the majority of famous you tube gamers like, KSI, GONTH, CSG and Spencer FC use an XBox One. Could there be a reason for this? My cousins have an XB1 as well

Prices are similar here where i live. Any first hand accounts on game-play? experience and maintenance?

Do A Level results affect twinning programs for De

northwayfaller — Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:41:20 +0800

Im due to receive my Cambridge International AS results and was wondering on what effect it had on my chances of getting into an overseas university. My uni offers a 2+1 law degree with 2 years here and 1 year in the UK at the University Of Liverpool. When i checked the website, it said i needed an overall result of 2A's and 1B to apply to study there. As im doing this twinning program, do my A levels results affect my chances of getting in. Lets just say i get a super high CGPA in my 2 years here, doesn't that negate my A Level results if they are sub par or poor. I'm not really good in my A Level subjects as they are not my forte

Im in INTI Nilai btw. My A2 is in october

Laptop lagging badly while gaming?

northwayfaller — Thu, 21 May 2015 19:46:28 +0800

Noticed that there is a substantial amount of lag on my laptop which i cant pinpont the cause.
My specs are: Intel i5337u 1.8ghz
Nvidia gt 720m 2gb
4gb ram
I use an Asus A550C. I used to be able to run codmw3 and b02 on max settings with slight amounts of lag from time to time. But since 6 months ago, i cant even play minecraft or cod 4 on low settings without alot of lag. What could be the problem and how do i solve it? Will disassembling the laptop and cleaning the components improve the speed? And does defragment work?

It could be due to me upgrading to windows 8.1 but im not sure. Could anyone help?

Best internet/broadband packages in Nilai?

northwayfaller — Fri, 01 May 2015 08:56:32 +0800

I recently moved in into Taman Desa Melati and was appalled at the lack of internet facilities here. There is no unifi and no maxis fiber too so that sucks. Thus im here to ask about the best packages in the area. Any packages with unlimited quota and speeds above 1mbps would be fantastic. I stay in Jalan Bbn 11/3p. What packages should i consider and what options are available to me?

Anyone here going to INTI IU in Nilai for a levels

northwayfaller — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:20:03 +0800

Im coming from subang to do my a levels here. Anyone else joining me? im taking humanities, May Intake!

Dont know what subjects to take for A-levels.

northwayfaller — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:15:36 +0800

Hi there! Ill be taking my a levels in about a month and i'm having a little trouble choosing. I plan to take law as a 2+1 In INTI International University in Nilai program with my final year in the University Of Liverpool.

I had a read up about entry requirements and they didn't specify any subject combination to qualify for an offer. English and History have always been my strongest subjects and as such i am tempted to take humanities for a levels.

Considering this which subjects should i take for a levels so that i would have a good chance of entering a good university?

Below are the subjects offered in my college for A Level humanities.
Accounting
Law
Business studies
economics
maths

Take note that math is my weakest subject all though i got a b+ in my spm and a D in additional mathematics in spm I got an A+ and an A for english and sejarah.

northwayfaller — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 20:33:10 +0800

Hey guys! I just finished SPM last year and i am planning to take A-Levels in Inti International University as im staying nearby. Just a few questions. I plan to pursue law. So naturally i decided to take Law, Econs and Business Studies for A levels. Is it hard? In terms of memorising and exam questions? I was originally planning to take the sciences but im very very weak in my maths. What do you guys suggest?
