好不容易，馬力歐終於集到了足夠的星星，開著太空站到了宇宙中心。
打了上百個galaxy之後，顯然我的功力已經提昇得還不錯，沒有花太多時間就把大魔王打敗了，也終於解救了被他控制的宇宙，galaxy能夠恢復正常。
破關之後，原本以為遊戲就到此為止（可以專心做研究了？？？）不過回到太空站卻發現Rosalina跟我說另外再集滿50顆星星，可以解開隱藏的關卡。看來這個遊戲還真的是值回票價，打完大魔王後還有這麼多的關卡可以讓我有空慢慢玩。
剩下的這些隱藏關卡想必都是挑戰性極高的，例如要蒐集三顆綠色星星才能解開的trial galaxy，就有可以測試你會不會手振的Rolling Gizmo Galaxy跟Electric Labyrinth。（當然youtube上面有影片，可是還沒過關以前千萬不要看！！）想到有50個挑戰性高的galaxies心理就高興～
馬力歐的結局？？看來還有一陣子我才會知道了。

Super Mario Galaxy - 結局？？
Monday, December 10, 2007
Super Mario Galaxy - Wii
記得上次玩馬力歐已經是超過十年以前的事了。一個多月前我Paper送出去後，好不容易狠下心來買了一年多來一直嚷著要買的Wii。這段日子除了打打網球跟拳擊，也一直上網研究各個Wii遊戲的評價，想要物色Wii Sports每一項運動都變成Pro之後要玩的遊戲。
到了感恩節，看著Buy.com上面有著Google Checkout新用戶有$10折價的優惠，發現目前各大遊戲評論網站上評分最高的馬力歐銀河（Super Mario Galaxy：IGN rating= 9.7，GameSpot= 9.5），算算竟然價錢只要$38。當然這個價錢還是滿貴的，可是相對於其他Circuit City, Best Buy等賣場$49.99的高價位（還要另外加銷售稅），這個免稅免運費的價錢大概一輩子再也找不到了。當場二話不說，登錄了一個新的Google Checkout帳號，下訂等待馬力歐的到來。
忙碌的日子使等待銀河馬力歐的時間變得並不是很漫長。不過實驗室的繁忙並沒有使我失去對馬力歐的期待。馬力歐一到，我馬上拆開包裝上機開始作戰。其實大家都知道，馬力歐的目的非常的簡單，就是打敗大魔王，救出公主。銀河馬力歐也不例外，只是這次的戰場移到了太空，有數十個銀河系需要馬力歐（跟蘑菇頭還有Lugi）去探索搜尋Power Star的存在。等到蒐集到足夠的Power Star之後，馬力歐所在的太空觀測站就可以變成太空船，載著馬力歐到宇宙的中心跟大魔王決鬥。
因為沒有偷偷看馬力歐攻略，現在我也不知道我現在打的進度到哪邊。只知道現在太空觀測站已經完全電力恢復，只差22顆星星「就」可以啟動引擎飛到宇宙中心了。目前我對這個遊戲的感覺是：前面一段的關卡非常非常的容易，容易到會一邊打馬力歐一邊覺得「這個遊戲會不會是給五歲還設計的？一點挑戰性都沒有！」不過到了後半段（觀測站電力全部恢復之後），就會有一些比較有挑戰性的關卡（galaxy）了。
現在在遊戲還沒有全破之前，我還沒有辦法做完整的評論，假如要我評分，我目前會給個8.3/10左右的分數吧。當然假如後半段的關卡的挑戰性比較強、困難度足夠，我相信我會給這遊戲更高的分數。
這是其中一段我覺得滿有挑戰的戰鬥，剛好YouTube上也有，不過一堆日文只好請看倌們自行翻譯了。

Yankees game 9/22/07
Game on Sep 21, 2007 vs. Toronto Blue Jays. Wang pitched a good game but didn't get offense support from the Yankees. The Yanks came back on the bottom of the 9th inning, crushing Halliday and made up a 4-run deficit. The incredible comeback was then unfortunately ruined by Brueny in the 14th.

Apple Fifth Avenue Store
Finally got my first Mac laptop. It's a 13-inch MacBook with duo processors and 1 GB of RAM. Technically it's not my laptop, but my boss is generous enough to let me use it on a daily basis. I did fall in love with this MacBook instantly but it might still be long time before I transfer all my work to the Mac platform.
I remember the first day Apple opened its Fifth Ave store in 2006. It was already in late May but the chilly weather made people to don heavy coats still. The long line waiting to get into the store extended several blocks but it never stopped the avid Apple fans. A shiny glass cube about 30 feet tall stood about hundred yards in front of me. It was then it came to me why Steve Jobs said: “With outstanding service and an amazing location open 24 hours a day, the Apple Store Fifth Avenue is going to be a favorite destination for New Yorkers and people around the world.”
I dug out this old video from Apple Store Fifth Avenue. I was among this huge crowd swarming to be the first to see the Store. Time to find Waldo!

Wang's 15th Win
From Peter Abraham:
“This is like last year,” Wang said. “I feel much better. More confident.”
Remember that pitch that Posada missed in the fifth inning? It was a split-finger fastball. I didn’t even know Wang had that pitch.
“I threw it in the minors,” Wang said with a smile. “I still throw it sometimes.”
Said Posada: “That thing moved like a knuckeball. It wasn’t a bad pitch, I just didn’t catch it.

Parkour
Always wanted to finish posting this one but never got time to get to it...
Parkour is a form of "urban gymnastics" and has certainly made some noise lately in the US. It's kind of like doing the stunts we all are very familiar with in Hong Kong movies. The "traceurs" can throw themselves into walls and somehow move into a completely different direction with a kick of the foot. They can jump off from 5 stories high and land on the ground in one piece like a cat. Not to mention their creative ways to overcome obstacles to get to their destinations (the spirit of parkour: command and discipline oneself to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible). My friend LS always wanted to do this. Actually there are now training sessions in several cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. And some are even on campus. You can read this New York Times article for more details.
This is the famous video:
And here you can read about the physics.
Disclaimer:
Parkour can be a dangerous activity. There are inherent risks in any physical activity, and Parkour is no exception. I do NOT encourage the practice of Parkour by an average person like you and me.

Biking in New York City
買腳踏車也一陣子了. 之前一直以為紐約市這個都市叢林裏面, 騎腳踏車是件很危險的事情. 後來發現市政府其實有完整地規劃腳踏車道, 只要沿著曼哈頓島周圍的腳踏車道, 基本上都是很安全的. 沿著腳踏車道可以帶你去許多曼哈頓著名景點, 在此我稍稍介紹一下.
學校附近Riverside park是一個理想的入口. 往北邊可以騎到華盛頓橋(George Washington Bridge)下的小紅燈塔(Little Red Lighthouse), 假如有興趣, 可以轉到橋上往紐澤西行, 去Fort Lee買東西或到Palisade park玩. 假如想留在曼哈頓島上, 可以繼續騎到Cloisters Museum, 這是大都會博物館的一個分館, 主要是中世紀的修道院古文物. 往南的話, 可以先騎到七十九街的船塢(boat basin), 這是電影電子情書(You've got mail)中Tom Hanks跟他老爸在船上討論人生大事的地方. 往下再繼續騎會經過網球場、籃球場、棒球場跟足球場, 來到夏天每個禮拜可以賞夕陽看電影的河濱碼頭.
基本上循著這條環島的腳踏車道, 可以帶你到曼哈頓南邊許多的景點. 假如有興致, 體力又不錯, 不彷騎到South Street的渡輪碼頭, 每天定時都有免費的渡輪可以載你去Staten Island. 渡輪的中層可以讓乘客牽腳踏車進入. 開往Staten Island的途中可以觀賞海景以及著名的自由女神像, view絕對不輸花五六十塊才坐得到的商業渡輪.

Wang's 9th win!
It's beeeen hot lately. This afternoon we went to root for Wang. With the help from GL, we got tickets on ebay for two fantastic seats behind the home plate (well, still some distance from the top, but the view was great!!). The best thing about these seats is that we were sitting underneath the roof and the shadow kept us from being scorched by the sun. The temperature was about 95 degrees, you can imagine how those people sitting under the sun felt, sweating and crying for water (well, beer actually, spend 8 bucks for one Becks!!!).
With the loss yesterday after the extra inning efforts, we thought the Yanks would be pretty tired and frustrated today. Losing so many games must have worn out their spirits. But the game turned out to be totally different. First inning, with two men on base, Matsui clubbed a home run and gave the Yankees an early big lead. Wang wasn't steady in the beginning but somehow managed to strike out two batters and allowed no runs. 
A-Rod and Cano followed Matsui and hit two three-run homers in the fourth. Such a big lead actually made me lose focus a little bit and I started to wonder when the Angels would get a hit and make it to first base. Throughout, there were only five sporadic hits today and brought me the only disappointment of this afternoon: there were not double plays for Wang because there were not many people on base!!! And the ground balls he induced were way too easy for Jeter to handle. I was waiting for Jeter's jump and making a perfect throw the first base. Regardless, the Yankees won and closed their gap with the Red Sox to a mere 10 games (look how happy I am). Keep up the good work! Take some good rest during the All-Star week! I'm still hoping the Yanks can make it to the playoff and eventually win a number 27!!!
