I’ve modified the entry’s code, Ricky; it’ll work now. The issue lies in how WordPress deals with embedded code from Youtube. You need to (temporarily) disable the Visual Rich Editor under your User Settings when you add the additional Youtube code in.

One thing though; any modifications you make to the post with embedded code like this will eliminate the code if you’ve toggled back to the Visual Rich Editor. To edit any post with Youtube’s embedded code , always temporarily disable the VR Editor first.

Comment on Play games = become better surgeons (!) by Blogscapes

Hm..I can see this being used as an excuse by many gamers!

“Boy, stop playing games and go study. Exams coming soon”

“But ma, you want me to be a doctor, right? I’m practising now, you know.”

Ah, something I can comment on, I partially agree with this. Especially those gamers who ahve played this certain game.

The game’s name is called Trauma Center, it’s been on the headlines (of gaming magazines) for several weeks or so I’ve heard, and it’s the talk of the gamers.

Basically it simulates a surgeon and you get to cut people up. Kinda disturbing how they potray the tumors though. And note that it is meant to be fictional, the viruses found in the game is not real. EYES DONT GROW ON HEARTS DO THEY? (shiver)

Thanks, yet again for another interesting read, even though I was an Intellivision boy. ^_^

Comment on Darkthrone (MMORPG) by Dr. Foo CY

Nice one, Aidah. I haven’t heard of this MMORPG before myself. 189,000 players isn’t as many as say WoW’s 10 mil players, but it’s still plenty for a game.

I’ve seen and played games similar to this before. However, they all (to the best of my memory) failed in the same way: When confronted with a challenge (puzzle, fight etc.), despite having x forms to choose from, there would only be one suited to a particular challenge. If I play a game with 10 different character modes, I want to at least have 5 (minimum) good ways to tackle any problem and near limitless not-so-good (getting more damage, spending more ammo/mana) ways to bypass the same problem.
