Measuring Your PCs Performance (Guide & Thought Process)


     It's been about a month since I built the Puffer, As soon as I got it, I went along my merry way and just gamed through the weeks. Since my hype about my new rig is a tad more worn down now, I decided to stress test my PC to see how it's doing. If you want to read up on the rationale behind this build, read my build log over here.

     Before we get started, we have to get our tools ready. Below is the list of tools I have used thus far.


1. AI Suite 3. Adjust voltages and clock speeds without having to go through the hassle of booting into the BIOS. There's also a bunch of other goodies packed into the software. Awesome tool to utilize if you have an ASUS motherboard.

2. Realtemp. Just a simple and reliable temperature monitor.

3. AIDA64. I chose this over Prime95 due to... due to... actually I have no idea why but I went with AIDA64 anyway. Either one of these will work fine.

4. ASUS GPUTweak. One of the many GPU overclocking tools to choose from. I have an ASUS card so I figured I would use this instead of MSI Afterburner.

5. 3DMark. Bought this on the last steam sale. Of course synthetic benchmarks are not an accurate representation of how a rig will perform during real games. However, in this age of "screenshots or it didn't happen", 3DMark standardized benchmarks works better numbers wise.

6. Unigine Heaven Benchmark. I see a lot of reviewers use this to demonstrate their point so I guessed I would try it as well.

     Before I went around tweaking stuff, I did a dry run of AIDA64's stress test and to my surprise, my 4790K was throttling due to constantly hitting almost the 100C mark. After some intense Google searches, I figured that I didn't tighten my CPU block enough. After tightening the CPU block, I did another run, the throttling stopped, but the temps were still around 80C give or take 5C.

     After some further reading on the interwebs, I learned that my CPU voltage might be the culprit. Opening up AI Suite 3, my motherboard has default to using adaptive voltage which resulted in the CPU using about 0.2v more than the recommended voltage. After dialing down the CPU voltage to 1.130v, I also "underclocked" it to match the stock Intel settings of 3-cores 4.3GHz and 4-cores 4.2GHz instead of ASUS's default all cores 4.4GHz.


     With everything ready to rumble, I ran another AIDA64 run for about 30 mins to test for stability and the results has shown to be consistent with other users on the interwebs. At 100% loads, I averaged around 73C which I was pretty satisfied about. I could probably turn down the voltage a few more notches to optimize the heat output but for now I guess it's fine. Oh, and my idle temps are around 34-36C if you were wondering.


     Since I have pretty much fixed my initial problem, now it's time to tend to my graphics card. I checked the "overclocking range enhancement" so that I can increase the max GPU voltage and push the core clock even further.


     Below are the important numbers, before and after overclocking. You can use the numbers to overclock your Strix 970 but sometimes it just won't work. Something to keep an eye on would be the memory clock as I have seen other people get much better memory clocks than mine so don't worry about it too much. Oh and to determine whether a overclock is stable or not, just run a demanding game and see if any artifacts appear, if no, you are good to go.



     I ran a 3DMark Fire Strike test at the beginning of the month to see how well my card performed and my rig scored 9656. After overclocking, my rig scores 11070 which is a lot of improvement per say; just goes to show that NVIDIA's Maxwell architecture is a great overclocker. I have some screenshots below and here's the link to the results of pre and post overclocking.



     Last but not least, I ran Unigine Heaven to measure "more realistic" performance (according to reviewers at least). I scored 1538 at 1080P Ultra with extreme tessellation and 8x AA. Remember when you compare scores with others, make sure you are using the same settings as them to avoid unnecessary confusion.


     That about sums up everything I did for performance tuning and benchmarking. I'm still looking for other tweaks that may improve the performance, so if you have any other pointers I should follow, do leave a comment down below and let me know.

Welcoming 2015 With A Whole New Layout!


     Happy new year guys! If you haven't notice already, I've done some changes to the blog layout as I felt the previous layout has already devolved into something that I no longer am able to maintain. While a new layout change had been put on the backburner for a long time now, I have found the perfect excuse to finish it today: it's the dawn of a new year!

     Wow, it has been a pretty amazing year for the site considering my half-hearted effort to grow it into something bigger. While I have no idea what the new year has installed for me, I am pretty excited nontheless as new year = new tech! Oh, what advancements will we see for the next year in the consumer electronics, I guess we will have to wait for CES! Anyway, I have uploaded some gameplay footage onto my YouTube channel. They are mostly just random moments I capture while I game so do not set your expectations too high, yes.

     Again, have a happy new year!

     EDIT: I notice that numbered/bullet lists aren't working properly, I will try to fix it but I guess until then guide readers will have to suffer a little eye-sore so bear with me in the meantime.

Year-In-Review 2014 - Status Update #3


     Again, it is that time of the year to recap everything that has happened so far into the year so I that I can do some self-reflection and decide what to put on the plate next. I tried to write this in a chronological manner but unfortunately when the 'kick' hits, I have to disregard any sort of content organization :P.

     Back in January, I acquired this domain to try and make this hobby into something of a serious affair. Back then, I was thinking of all the ad dollars I could make if I can turn this into a successful blog. Well looking at the blog now, I don't think I'm making a lot of progress into that goal, which may or may not be a good thing. After Google denied me from AdSense due to insufficient content, I tried other services like Chitika which frankly I will say makes the blog look even worse than it already was.

     After acquiring the domain, things seem to be going along a tad faster. Companies started to contact me to have reviews written about their products. Of course, all these reviews remain unbiased till this date because I still believe that being the niche outlet that provides true insights will play to my advantage in the long-run. I would like to take this chance to say thanks the following people/firms who gave me a chance to do what I like to do: Andrik from i-Rocks, Samuel from Armaggeddon/SonicGear, Lik Wei from OPPO, J1 Consulting representing ALCATEL, Ivan from PLAY Interactive (ROCCAT), Jeffrey from Rantau PR (Logitech), and any of those whom I forgot to mention. Thank you so much, this year of review writing has really improved my writing skills and also gave me a better insight as to what kind of person I am. I would also like to thank all my friends who have assisted me or inspired me to do better. I am not going to name any names here (to avoid internal affairs lol) but you all have impacted me in some shape or form regardless. I would also like to thank my parents for being supportive of my writing despite being skeptical when I was just starting.

     To follow suit on gratitude, I want to apologize to a few people for prioritizing the blog and my studies over their causes. I apologize to the C2AGE committee and HELPAKid committee for being non-committal to their cause. I apologize also to those who I have disappointed regardless of whether or not I have acknowledged their disappointment.

     This year in gaming, I would say that it's been pretty boring. Even when developers come up with new IPs, it seems that most of them still use the same bread and butter mechanics with the addition of a little to no innovative mechanics. The games I really liked this year are probably HearthStone, Watch_Dogs and Shadow of Mordor with SoM being my favorite game so far. I also seem to like Dota 2 lesser and lesser now which is similar to what I experienced with MapleStory.

     Now I'm trying to recall what was memorable this year, which frankly, I have a bit of a difficulty trying to remember. It can come to a conclusion that this year was a bland year or everything in this year is so awesome that I am desensitize to it already. Welp, I can't really think of any memorable stuff this year so I will move along to the self-reflection part.

     This year round, I watched a TED Talk where the speaker talked about an interesting idea and I quote "Fake it till you make it." While that sentence may sound terrible in some contexts, I interpreted it in my own way, which is to believe in yourself. I think the quote has helped me overcome some of the doubts in my head and continues to be the fuel behind everything I do.

     Coming back to the website, I am planning to move the site onto WordPress. Blogger has disappointed me at so many points of time and I am pretty much ready to move away from it. So much so, that I already started building a test site to see if WordPress can do everything I need it to do. Here's a sneak peak of the test site.



     I think I have gone on too much of a ramble so I will stop writing here. Remember, if you have any questions for me, you can hit me up on any social media platform or leave a comment down below. Can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for me.

Build Log - The Puffer


     Hi guys! This is my first PC build log. I have been wanting to build a rig for quite some time now but never got around to doing it. This time though, the stars aligned and I decided to take the bait. This post will mostly be about my building experience, part selection rationale and other things that are relevant provided I don't go on a tangent.


     First of all, the rationale behind the specifications. I have listed my general specifications on the image above. I went with the Intel I7-4790K for future-proofing as well as to accelerate my occasional video rendering (and for dem overclocking). Multi-core seems to also be a focal point for the next iteration of DirectX 12 so there's that too. To cool a top-of-the-line processor, I have gone with the close-loop AIO cooler, Corsair's H100i instead of a more conventional air cooler to make things more manageable as air coolers tend to get in the way in the build process. For the motherboard, I went with the ASUS Maximus VII Ranger. Reason being that it seems to be pretty user-friendly and the understated red/black colour scheme looks pretty sweet. In the graphics card department I went with the ASUS GTX 970 Strix. Again, the colour scheme is another factor in this choice as well as the included backplate for a more rigid construction. I only got 8GB of RAM due to budget restrictions. For storage, I have a SSD for the lightning fast boot speed and a 7200RPM HDD for general storage. Powering the rig is the Seasonic M12II Evo 750W. I chose the 750W PSU so I can perhaps add another graphics card in the future and the flat black cables goes pretty well with the colour scheme. Enclosing all this is the Corsair Carbide Air 540. I chose the Air 540 for the two-chamber design (hide dem cable clutter) and its focus on air flow to provide breathing room for the graphics card.

before routing cables
     I used guides from LinusTechTips and ASUS PCDIY which can all be found on YouTube. Overall speaking, the building process was much harder than I anticipated. Almost nothing got plugged in correct the first time through, be it the IO shield or RAM DIMMs. I spent about 3 hours trying to get everything in place and another 1 and a half trying to plug in all the cables. I think the reason why the process took so long is because I was unsure how much force should be applied on the different parts. Also, don't get me started on cable management; if I had a smaller case I think it would have went terribly, I feel that the Air 540 is certainly well built for beginners like me.


     The motherboard was also a lifesaver with ASUS's Q-code LED display. It helped me diagnosed a lot of the initial problems like with the "RAM not pushed hard enough" issue. Speaking of not pushing hard enough, my 1TB storage drive was also not pushed deep enough (that's what she said); apparently, there are two clicks when plugging the drive into the Air 540's hot-swap bay which is kind of weird.




     Oh and if you haven't notice already, I named the rig Puffer because the Air 540's cube design reminds me of a blowfish, so I figured it was only appropriate to name it as such. No omega, trinity, poseidon names for me this time round.

FINAL RESULT


     The front cable management is not that great, I know. I will redo it when I feel the need for that, for now, I rather go through my Steam library again. I forgot to take a picture of the cable management at the back but I think you guys will be fine without seeing the mess there.

Introducing the new Awards System - Status Update #2


     If you have read the F.A.Q about the site before, you will notice that I never assign a score to a product because I think most of the time it's an arbitrary number (especially when you assign 100 as the maximum score). However, I do think it is a suitable time to give out awards to products as I have pretty much set in stone the standard I require for each product.

     A new award I would like to present to you all is the Editor's Choice award. Products which I bestow this award to will be those that I can swear by and recommend without a single shadow of doubt.


     Of course, to celebrate this rare (hopefully) occasion, I have gone through all the products that I have reviewed thus far and checked to see if any of these products fit the criteria. Without surprise, 3 products have stood out from the rest of its brethren and deserved some recognition. Below are the products which will be among the first to receive the Editor's Choice award from KENYSL.com!

1. Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse

     My favourite wireless mouse of all time! Amazing battery life and uncompromising software prowess makes this my go-to recommendation whenever anyone asks me about a high performance wireless mouse.

2. i-Rocks K10 Gaming Keyboard

     One of the best rubber dome keyboards that I have used thus far. Even though it has its hiccups (short backspace key and no software support), this is one fine keyboard to recommend as an invitation to the world of mechanical keyboards for the uninitiated with its friendly price and rigid build quality.

3. ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical Gaming Mouse

     My love for the Razer Deathadder has since faltered after using the ROCCAT Kone Pure Optical. With the most comfortable smooth rubber finish that I have ever encountered on a mouse, ergonomic wise, this mouse is on the top of my list. ROCCAT's amazing software implementation, while decentralized, has the most in-depth configuration options in my history of reviewing mice.

     That's all for now. I'm currently planning on moving the site to a hosting server so that I can run a more full-featured content managing system other than blogger because to be frank, maintaining the back-end is a pain in MY back-end. How soon will this change occur though? To quote famous game developer, Blizzard: "Soon (TM)". Stay tune on the site for more tech reviews!

KENYSL.com - Status Update #1


     Hello guys, been a while since I posted consistently on the website; reason behind such inactivity is partially due to the never forgiving college life and my laziness has also played a big part on me not having a post up on the site for so long. I'm writing this post to shed some light on the future of this blog.

     Since I'm on my semester break now, I have ample amount of time on my hands to spend; in the pipeline, there will be three product reviews that will be up on site within this month (hopefully). Other than that, I have been thinking about what else should I write on the site. One of the ideas is to have something more gaming oriented up on the site but that is to be seen. You'd probably see a lot more opinion pieces similar to the vibes of "Are you willing to switch to a smartwatch" and "The Waiting Game".

     Looking at the statistics, the most viewed post while I was gone was certainly the root guide for LG G Pro 2, so this brings me to the question of whether should I start writing more guides. While certainly as time consuming as writing a review, it seems to pull in more readers that are keen to learn things and interact. I will see if there is anything else to write a guide about that the internet doesn't have too much of an abundance yet.

     I was thinking about moving the site off of Blogger to allow me to better manage the backend of the blog especially the design and what not. As it currently stands, the HTML coding behind the theme I'm using now is so messed up that I think I need to start from a clean slate. Yes, yes, I know Firefox users have a lot of trouble trying to view a lot of the reviews as the image size HTML code is interpreted differently than Chrome. Might try to redesign it myself but don't expect the site to shed it's skin any time soon.

     To get more timely status updates, you can follow me on Twitter or like the KENYSL.com Facebook page for interesting articles taken from all over the internet.

The Waiting Game

     Have you ever been in a waiting game with that crush of yours? Fright not! I'm here to..... Hold on a second, this is a tech blog, ain't nobody wanna read about relationship advice on here (Ken is not qualified for such advice). So, what waiting game am I talking about? Of course, with MWC 2014 right around the corner, it has got to be something that is related to mobile technology!

     Sup guys, just a little announcement, my group (hilariously named Royal) is selling delicious food items at Exit 6 of HELP University Main Block. Come and support ya if any of you are around. Thanks! :D

Flashbacks: My Experience of Hosting a Game Server??!

Banner I would have used if I had my current skill set back then.
     While I was about to fall asleep today, I thought of how I was spending my teen years and why I had only a vague memory of what happened during those years. Suddenly it hit me that when I was 14, I hosted a Maple Story private server on my cheapo desktop computer over a 1mbps internet connection. If you have any knowledge about web hosting and stuff, you know how pathetic the specifications I had to run that server. But that isn't the important part.

     It's probably safe to assume that most people were and still are crazy over the MMO Maple Story. I was one of those kids too. Having played the game since I was 12, over the years I have been going back to the game for short periods of time but soon it got even more boring to me over the years of changes. Another claim I can confidently make is that, every player at one point of the game would think to themselves, "I wished I was a GM (Game Master).
A scene in SAO where Kirito gets admin privileges 
     That amount of control over a game, if you have ever watched Sword Art Online (if you hadn't, please do yourself a favour and go watch it), you would sort of understand the power of a GM. The desire to have this much control over a game had me doing a bunch of research, trying to find out how I would go about to attaining this amount of power. And there I was, stumbling upon a forum thread titled "[Guide] Hosting your own Maple Story server" 14 year old me was ecstatic, this literally meant I had the rights to dictate how the entire game works on my server!
how old school C++ code looked like
     To host the server though, one must go through the difficult *for 14 year old me* set up process. The server files came programmed in Visual C++, where you have to run Visual Studio to compile the files in order for the server to work. That entire line might have sounded like alien language to you, because I assure you, I literally didn't know what I was doing too. After you had the server up and running, you aren't done yet because you need people to be able to connect to it! So you either had to make your IP address a public IP address or use some ghetto LAN emulator so people can connect to you as long as they used the LAN emulator and are connected to your designated network. Me being a lazy ass, opt-ed for the LAN emulator solution as it was the easiest to do.

     So that's the boring explanation part done. Let's get into the aspect that makes everything in life more interesting; People! Like any sane person's thinking, I need to promote my server over a form of media in order to get people to come play at my server. What better choice than to promote it on YouTube. The saying "Once on the internet, always on the internet" couldn't be more relevant. So here's the video I made for promotional purposes of my private server, MyStory.


     So the video redirected people to my forums which was http://mystoryhome.freeforums.org/. Sadly, it has been abandoned for so many years that the forum is now removed :( All my memories.... But fright not, because the forum is on the internet, we can totally salvage it back. Let me introduce to you, the savior of the internet, WebArchives! You can check out the snapshot of my forum here! You can browse through the captures that slowly show the growth of the forum and in terms the growth of the players on my server.

     In the short time of hosting this private server, I have met some very silly people. If you browsed through the forum archives, you can see how informal and silly the conversations are. Shoutout to Skittles that I have long since lost contact since the closure of MSN IM.

     How has this entire string of events affected me as a person? Hosting this server has exposed me to a lot of the different things that I would gladly say had improved upon. The first time recording and editing a video, the first time I touched the C++, Java and HTML language and of course the first time I interacted with random strangers over the internet, trusting them with my server and so on so forth. You could even say I'm into technology this day due to this incident.

     Today, I wish I still had that tad of recklessness, being able to dive into interesting things without thinking about the next step. Being able to not care about what other people think of me as a person. That's the advantage of being a dumb kid isn't it.... What are some of the stupid things you've done in the past? How has it affected you? Do you have any regret after doing said stupid things? Well for me, I have no regrets as I value the things I learned from hosting a private game server more than the short span of a few months I wasted on it.

Ken's Best of CES 2014

     If you weren't in the know, the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show just went down in Las Vegas over the last week. There were a lot of products/concepts unveiled throughout the show and here I am highlighting the things I'm most excited for.

Samsung Galaxy Pro Line Tablets
     Now before you Android people all start yelling "#HOLOYOLO" at me, let me at least express myself. I have always deemed that the 7"inch and 8"inch tablet form factor is too small for me, when people hear that, they would just ask me to go get a 10"inch form factor tablet. Let's just say that there are times where I complain that even my iPad 2 is too small for me to get any meaningful work done.

     So you might be wondering, what am I going on about? 10.1"inch is the largest form factor, there is nothing bigger! Well that's about to be changed with the entry of Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. The form factor is of course 12.2"inch as you would acknowledge from the name. The reason I'm excited for this other than the perfect screen size for me, is that the user interface dubbed Magazine UX looks very intuitive and seems fit for a tablet compared to the stock Android skin. While Samsung is trying to market this as a laptop replacement with a full fledged QWERTY software keyboard and partnering up with manufacturers to produce keyboard docks for the Pro tablets, I do not think this will have what it takes for me to ditch lodging my notebook around. The Verge hands-on video can pretty much show you everything you need to know about this tablet to share my excitement! There's a big chance I would be grabbing the Note Pro 12.2 to replace my HTC One X, hehe.

Razer Project Christine
     "OMFG, first you mention Samsung, now Razer??!" No matter how much you hate Razer, you must admit that they are pretty much the pioneers of a lot of things. No need to dig in too far back, the Razer Blade was the first gaming notebook that broke the "bulky and heavy" stereotype of gaming notebooks which then started a slew of thin form factor gaming notebooks like the MSI GS70, the new Aorous X7 and much more. So, what is Project Christine? I don't even know where to start so watch this video down below.

     Wonderful, now that you watched the video, you should be as speechless as I am. Even though upgrading/building a PC is easy as ABC if you put the effort into it, some people might not want to go through the hassle of sorting out the cable management and what not. Project Christine makes that a non-factor with it's plug-and-play-esque design. I'm excited about this because if this is the direction of where PC building is going towards, I won't complain seeing how awesome it looks and how simple it will be. While I'm definitely sure that the Razer Project Christine will be sold at a high premium, I hope this will kickstart a new trend like how Razer did with the Blade and Project Fiona (Edge)

Sony PlayStation Now
     If you don't really know me that well, let me just tell you now that I'm a PC guy and home consoles are not really my groove. Why the PlayStation Now intrigues me is because I'm really interested in playing the exclusives like The Last of Us, Uncharted, Infamous and etc, but I'm not intrigued to the point that I am going to go out of my way to buy a box that does nothing but gaming. The PlayStation Now fills the missing pieces in between, without having to buy a PlayStation console, I am able to game via the 'cloud' and stream to my existing devices. While I have a feeling that Sony will lock this cloud gaming feature to their own devices and that Malaysia will never see the light of such service, the concept of such service is what I really like and hope to see much more widespread in the future.

Dell P2815Q
     So you might be asking what's so special about this monitor from Dell, and I would answer "Pixels". Yes it's a 3840x2160 28"inch display and that's not all. This monitor starts from *drumrolls* $699! Well that might sound a lot but in contrast with other currently available 4K solutions, this monitor is almost half of the price of existing solutions. Will we finally see 4K monitors that will be much more affordable with the launch of this monitor? Hopefully so and time will tell.

Corsair RGB Backlit Mechanical Keyboard
     Corsair teased about this a while back, and this CES, they truly delivered it. It's hard to describe what the difference between this and a normal backlit mechanical keyboard in text, so I will leave it to Linus to show you the amazing-ness of this keyboard.
     This keyboard shines really amazingly and I would definitely love to get my hands on one... (if I could afford it that is.)

Honourable Mentions:
1. All the smart cars on CES (especially the BMW i3)
2. MSI's secret thin gaming notebook (probably just a GS70 refresh)
3. Mad Genius Controllers (awesome motion controller concept)

     I guess that's my "Best of CES". What's yours? My next post will probably be a review. A review of what I have yet to finalize, but it will be coming up soon enough! Stay tuned!

My Blog Just Moved!!!

Hello people! How else to kickstart 2014 other than taking another step into the right direction? Indeed, I have just gotten my blog a new legit domain. For now, the domain, kenysl.com would be the home for this blog. This is just one phase of my master plan muhahaha. Stay tune for more exciting stuff that I will reveal phase by phase when the time is right!

Ken's 2013 Round-up


     So I figured since it is almost the end of the year now that I would write a quick round-up about everything significant this year.

     I wanted to say that college took most of my time this year but that is obviously not true as I just finished my first semester in HELP. So what have I been doing for the months which I was having my so called "study break".

   Well, the first half of 2013 was quite uneventful other than me officially starting to write reviews on my blog and not forgetting my virgin review of the Steelseries Siberia V2 Gaming Headset which is still what I consider as a not "half-assed" review. That review really brought along a lot of opportunities, one of which is joining along side StashDen (thank you, Andrik, really learnt a lot from you) to bring my reviews to the masses. Unfortunate to say that StashDen has been idle since September/October as the team has shift focus onto other tasks.

     Other than that, the post also brought along a missed opportunity, which was a contact within Armaggeddon (Samuel, thank you for recognizing my efforts when I initially started). I got to talk to them about collaborating but due to unforeseen events, in the end it didn't work out. Also not forgetting Lowyat forum which is basically the platform that made these 2 amazing things happen. Nevertheless, it's been a good run, but I think I will have another review up before considering if I should proceed with my future plans which I will mention near the end of this post.

    So now, about college life. It's pretty awesome. Much more enjoyable than working (but that might be depending on what job you have). The first semester of college had taught me a lot of things and allowed me to meet even more amazing people! In one of my tweets, I mentioned that college is all about doing things you would never have thought of doing before. One of them is being a part of "Smiles for Hope", a charity project aimed to aid Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital. It's been more than an assignment to me, partially because in that project I could see passion radiate from people and also not forgetting the other extreme, indifference. Oh, and here's what I did for Smiles for Hope!


     The classes I had in college were great fun too, also giving me amazing opportunities. I had an assignment which required me to interview someone who I deemed successful. The people around me just went ahead and interviewed what I would call "the regular joes". So me being myself, I swore to not bore my lecturer and wanted to interview someone very interesting. First, I approached Logan from TekSyndicate, who runs a website and YouTube channel which revolves around technology. While I didn't get to have a real interview with him per say, Logan and co answered my questions in a video which you can check out below, you can watch from the beginning but if you're so keen on saving time, it starts @ 0:37. So I turned around and approached Luminous, someone who you would be familiar with if you were to follow the Dota 2 E-Sports scene. In short, he is a big name in casting Dota 2 games. Fortunately I got to interview him via Skype but I lost the chat log due to my notebook deciding to go all mambo on me. Here's the assignment if you would like to have a jab at that.


     I'm also currently in the committee behind C2AGE, an exhibition about anime, comics and stuff which you find out more on their website. I'm in charge of a lot of the designing so now I can show you guys exclusive pictures! (haha)
C2AGE 2014 Car Sticker! :D

C2AGE 2014 Pocket Calendar (with the dates behind of course)
     All in all, it's been a fantastic year for self-improvement and mind-opening nonetheless. About my future plans, I'm planning to move this blog onto it's own domain, preferably kenysl.com but I will see to it. While the content might not solely consist of tech reviews, I still hope I can write content that resembles my stance on technology. Oh and also sorry if the post seems to be a tad bit of un-chronological because this was written over a span of few days and the writing style might vary time to time. (haha)

    That's all for now, kenysl signing off.
