Stripteasing had never been so hard. There's a naked scene for the girl - Madison, but yeah I'll save it for your own curiosity. Heh.

Completed the game, but there's still lots to do with finding out other possibilities in the storyline gameplay.

Cheers.

Foursome Awesome.

2010-04-18T03:26:00.003+08:00

I have a bright chance of achieving this in my current Origins game. Stay tuned for updates.

...and no, I am not some sick assfreak. If you want to blame somebody you should blame the game developers lol

Wooo, so far I still got stash, might consider getting a PS3 title for this month. I'm actually planning to go on a 1 game/mth spree lol

Cheers.

2010-03-30T18:03:00.003+08:00

So recently I had alot of PS3 games in mind to buy and play (like, seriously so much that if I were to buy them all I'd probably have to eat into about 2 months of my NSF pay = roughly $800)

I look like Im kidding?

This is the list of games I actually considered buying (in no particular order):
Assassin's Creed*
Assassin's Creed II
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed*
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Heavy Rain
White Knight Chronicles
God of War Collection
God of War III
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
Prototype*
Resonance of Fate
Battlefield: Bad Company
Battlefield: Bad Company II
Heavenly Sword*
Devil May Cry IV*

So those games with a * means that its pretty much an old game but nonetheless a form of gameplay that I need to experience to stop salivating from just thinking about them. And the more recent games might average to about, say like, $75 a piece. So pretty much if we do the math its not really a small number.

So my proposed solution/action taken?:

I can't access the internet for Dragon Age: Origins downloadable contents (DLC) so I guess this will have to do for now. Its about $60 and it should pretty much last me for at least a month lol.

Oh yeah I went to get PES 2010 as well, so that's pretty much about $130 gone lmao.

And with the God of War Blades of Athena keychain, it adds up to $150. Jeez, I need to cut the fuse on my wallet next month.

Cheers.

Possibly one of the tougher boss fights in any FF series that I have ever played (only completed FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII & FFIX, rest are either incomplete or left somewhere in middle of the game)

If I could record on the ps3 I would've posted my own video, which would be quite a total noob as compared to this one. Anyway, this was how I tackled Old Farty Bart:

OPERATION PARADIGM FINGERWORK

Lightning, Snow & Sazh: Paradigms were (Light, Snow, Sazh) as follows:

commando sentinel ravager [Com Sen Rav]
medic sentinel ravager [Med Sen Rav]
medic sentinel synergist [Med Sen Syn]
medic commando ravager [Med Com Rav]
ravager sentinel commando [Rav Sen Com]
commando commando commando [Com x 3]

Skills that made it essential: Haste (Sazh, Syn), Mediguard/Steelguard, Provoke, Challenge (Snow, Sen), Cure (Light, Med)

Strategy: Once the battle starts switch to [Med Sen Syn] for haste (other buffs optional). Then shift to [Com x 3], keeping an eye on which side Snow attacks then target the opposite side.

Once Snow is isolated to one side shift to [Com Sen Rav] and leave Snow to tank while you take out other side. Switch to Healer [Med Sen Rav] if need be. Shift to [Com x 3] to retarget if Snow gets knocked back and in range of the team for the aoe spells.

Tricky part comes after one side is down. Shift between [Med Com Rav] (to position) & [Rav Sen Com] (to tank) when necessary. When in Rav for Lightning, manual pick your range skills and let Snow rush alone. Snow's Com will make him slow down the stagger limit, Sazh will attack from range. Switch to [Med Sen Syn] if you need to re-haste and [Med Sen Rav] occasionally for heals (2 spells hurt less than 4). Use Odin if you want to.

Once you're left with the head, its pretty much an easy fight. Using [Com Sen Rav] or [Med Com Rav] is pretty ok since the laser blast attack thing isn't really a killer.

Only thing to watch out is Destructo (big electric charge attack). Once he begins charging, pummel him quickly with [Com Com Com]. If you hit him hard enough (with haste) his attack will get disrupted and you take a much lesser damage as compared to taking the full blast head on.

Rinse & repeat, and pummel for the win. With some luck and no AI screw ups, the fight is yours. The idea of this strategy is to hit fast enough to down the 4 little motherf*ckin' heads. The big head isn't a problem, unless you take too much time on it then it will cast Doom on you lol

Cheers.

Paradigm Shifts & Gestalt Modes

2010-03-10T17:27:00.004+08:00

Pre-ordered the English version of FFXIII, which came in yesterday night.

Been playing it since, and I must say I missed playing the latest Final Fantasy series with the awesome graphics. So far FFXIII hasn't been disappointing at all, because I'm still learning how to effectively battle with the paradigm shift modes - its a whole new concept of RPG battles for me, so its keeping me fresh and I'm always looking forward to the next battle.

The summons, or better known as Eidolons this time are limitedly few though, there's only enough for one per character. However, to make it up, the summoning sequences are pretty darn awesome.

Summoning Sequence - Odin; Lightning

Anyway army life is boring so far. 9 more months to ORD lol

Cheers.

Dragon Age: Journeys

2009-11-22T08:41:00.002+08:00

Yep. Preparing unlockables for Dragon Age: Origins since I don't have enough specs to run the actual game lol. So meanwhile...

The flash sub-game site can be found here or this works too.

Be careful if you make a woman cry,
because God counts her tears.

The woman came out of the man's ribs,
Not from his feet to be walked upon,
Not from his head to be superior.
But from his side to be equal.

Under his arms to be protected.
Near his heart, to be loved.

Cheers.

P.S Thx Yan, you always seem to keep a copy of whatever I used to keep a copy before my laptop crashed & burned lol

Requiem of Time

2009-09-30T17:35:00.005+08:00

I haven't had proper time management nowadays because things are happening at an unknown rate so most of the time I have to adapt to last minute preparations for stuff.

Even when trying out new games, I can't seem to be able to play everyday - which is what is happening with the latest MMO I'm getting my hands on; Dungeons & Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited.

At character level 10, you can be a Bard(10) or a Bard(5) Fighter(5) or even a Bard(4) Fighter(3) Rogue(3)

Playing as one of the many class/race combinations (I'm a halfling bard, was an elf before though), DDO takes you to the mythical lands of Eberron, beginning in Korthos and working your way up and out into areas such as Stormreach as your level and questline progresses. It is F2P on a basic level, but there are unlockable contents via the DDO game store if you wish to play the game fully (let's face it, no good MMOs are totally free).

Element enchanted weapons grants extra damage on strike on top of the physical damage done.

I would say DDO would rival such games like WoW, EverQuest & Dark Ages of Camelot in terms of its gameplay. Its a simple game from a first impression but late on it gets pretty interesting and more complex as it involves cooperation and skill from different players playing different classes.

You can go solo...

One thing that I like about DDO (and similar games such as Neverwinter) is the ability to multiclass. For example, when playing a bard (like I am), you can go straight out as a class perfecting the art of performing songs and providing full support to the team, or you can use some levels to go into the fighter class to be able to handle damage from multiple mobs better or going into the rogue class to improve certain utility techniques such as disarming traps, hide/sneak and so on.

... or get a party going and take on quests & monsters on a harder level of difficulty.

Hooray for online D&D.
Cheers.

2009-09-03T18:42:00.002+08:00

will finally be the day I'm going for my driving course briefing (omg jeez, about time)

So currently, this is basically what I do for a living earning $400/mth:

0730 - report/fall in for first parade
0745 - area cleaning (aka siam one corner period)
0800 - start of day (which means going back to the bunk for a short nap)
1330 - report/fall in for midday parade
1345 - continue with activities (continue where I left off from morning)
1630 - fall out (early knock off for muslims during fasting month)

Cheers.

more NWN

2009-08-25T18:17:00.002+08:00

If multiclassing with more than 3 classes, I can't imagine what would've happened to Kelvar D'Vyne.

Kelvar actually has a cool green glowing sword, which I didn't have when this video was taken.

As of now (not according to video), he is a lvl 4 Paladin, lvl 5 Cleric and lvl 2 Ranger. If they allowed more multiclassing I'd have gone with Bard and Thief and Fighter as well rofl.

Once I've completed with the first module, I'm prolly gonna try multiclassing a Bard/Monk in Shadows of Undrentide. Or maybe a Ranger/Thief. Or maybe a Paladin/Sorcerer. Or maybe a Druid/Cleric. Or maybe...

Oh well, cheers.

NWN

2009-08-11T18:21:00.005+08:00

No, I'm not hooked on some wrestling show.

Recently (more like, couple of days ago) bought the Neverwinter Nights Diamond pack because I ran out of games to play and I've been wanting to try this game out ages ago. Getting the expansions were easy but I couldn't find the initial version of the game... until this pack came along.

Its a cool computerized version of D&D, only problem I have so far is that the hired mercenaries tend to lack combat intelligence during fights lol

So uhmm, cheers.

Neverending.

2009-08-08T11:47:00.002+08:00

Last Sunday I was on duty.

Tomorrow, in light of NDP, I will be on standby. The good thing is I'm deployed at somewhere near the Marina floating platform. The bad thing is I'll be at some carpark for the whole day throughout the event.

Next Sunday is another duty day.

Sheesh my weekends are getting grilled.

What Do I Do...

2009-07-31T18:23:00.002+08:00

...when I'm extremely bored?

I start playing random online games.

I'm aware that I am rather slow if I were to mention that I am currently into private Maplestory servers. By right, I'm playing the White Knight class. But after learning about the types of different buffs I can use, I would say that I am officially a Omgwtf? class.

win.

Cheers.

Serving You Right

2009-07-15T19:48:00.002+08:00

I am bored.

Why?

Being a military driver isn't what I thought it would be, you know. This is what I thought when I first get posted into the driver (or more professionally known as a transport operator) vocation.

Taking reference from movies like Fast & Furious series, I should, as a driver:

- get to know more hot chicks and babes
- drive uberly awesome sizzling hot rides
- be able to perform the Donut (that spin-around-a-car thing by Han in Tokyo Drift)
- be a badass looking dude on the street

I was, completely mistaken. *sigh*

Being a driver in the SAF means I have responsibilities, such as:

- to drive safely & defensively
- to be courteous to all road-users
- to maintain my vehicle
- stay in the max speed limit boundary (which is like umm... 50km/h MAXIMUM)

IT SAID TOTALLY NOTHING ABOUT CHICKS AND HOT RIDES DAMMIT!

Oh wait! We get to drive around big trucks like 5-tonners, 7-tonners and probably even 10-tonners, BUUUUTTTT I don't really think that chicks would dig it because the trucks are like so damn ugly and stuff in the first place.

So what have I learnt? Nothing in the army about being a driver is cool.

Cept maybe the fact that you get a chance to go for overseas exercises.

Oh, and I hate the MSET course.

Cheers.

Dragonica

2009-06-17T11:37:00.006+08:00

I'm currently playing Dragonica and I can say I'm starting to like the gameplay. Why?

Because of this...

And then slowly it went to this...

And then this...

Then this...

Then finally... lag. @#$%!@#$%!

I was actually attempting to hit 1k combo lol. Oh well, another time then. Will try grab a screenshot when it happens. Have to go now, dammit I got called back for guard duty today, sheesh.

Cheers.

Down Memory Lane

2009-06-12T09:35:00.003+08:00

It has been a pretty long journey in Eagle Coy, yet it feels like only yesterday that I was enlisting, sitting on that boat ride to Pulau Tekong and dreading for what is to come.

I recall this quote from a novel - "Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division". How true those words are whenever I look back to the days in camp. Every joyous moment we share it with the people around us and use it as a morale booster. Whereas every moment of despair we share it with the people around us and together we carry the burden and push on towards the next day.

I recall my first live range, where I made a grave mistake of not properly checking clear the rifle of the firer in my detail, thus negliging proper discharge of live ammo. It was the first ever grievous moment for me that following weekend when I see my friends booking out while I was confined and charged under restriction of privileges.

I recall my field camp, probably the life-changing event in BMT. Sitting on the ground - dirt and grass, heh. I used to always try to find the 'cleanest' spot. But now, heck I'll sit anywhere as long as its comfortable and not wet. Going outfield taught me that you're bound to get down and dirty someway somehow.

I recall my experiences being part of the stretcher party during the Graduation Parade (GP) as well as being an usherer during enlistment for the other companies. It was pretty awesome getting to see chicks up close and smiling your way just because you're that 'army boy' even though the truth is that I was nothing more than a chao recruit with only a mere 3 months experience and still a virgin to outfield and conventional warfare tactics.

I recall the Games Day/pre-POP preparations and the lethargy I felt for 2 straight weeks of FBO conditioning, practising the Infantry Roar, marching/jogging in a company level, the GP rehearsals and of course, the endless drill squad training. All that only to realize we achieved the 2nd best company (close behind the 1st by 0.9 points) and winning the Drill Squad Competition and performing the Fancy Drill Display right before GP.

And last but not least, I recall all the phototaking sessions - platoon level, company level and especially the individual before/after photos where it got printed out and everyone looked way much fitter and good-looking as compared to when we first started out.

All the fun times. All the shit times. 6 months is actually not such a long time, my friends.

Looking back at it now, if I were given the chance, I'd do it all over again.

Cheers.

3 weeks

2009-05-17T12:03:00.000+08:00

to POP.

Been a hectic period ever since field camp period. So many things, so many memorable events and it all will come to an end soon. I'm not sure about the other recruits, but I definitely would say I've enjoyed my BMTC days in Tekong - learnt things that no other curriculum could ever cover.

Only thing that worries me now is whether I'll be able to break apart from all my 6 month buddies.

SOL'd

2009-04-10T04:48:00.002+08:00

Last week I was charged for 5 days with RP/SoL (Restricted Priveleges/Shortage of Leave) for negligence of discharge. In simpler terms, I was the assistant to a firing detail and I didn't happen to check clear the rifle properly so ended up the firer misfired when he squeezed the trigger after misfired.

Hence the reason why I got confined for the previous week, damn.

On a happy note, bookout this week happened on a Thursday night because Friday is a good Friday.

On an even happier note, I've downed 20.2kg - now I'm at 91.4kg (enlistment weight was like um, 111.6kg) with 2 more months to go, yay lol.

On an unhappy note, field camp is coming in 2 weeks time.

...I have no more notes to dish out, so I'll stop here.

Cheers.

Recruit's Evening

2009-03-06T13:05:00.002+08:00

Nothing could turn up the testosterone levels of a couple hundred men deprived of women on a Monday night better than a bunch of voluptuous scantily dressed ladies arousingly dancing to "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls (and some other songs for that matter).

Much to my disappoinment (and obviously yours, all you horny male bastards), I couldn't get any footage on video because of the rule that you aren't allowed to bring in any capturing or recording devices into Tekong. Maybe that's why the performance was explosive and stuff, no YouTube leakages lol.

But fret not my dear female-hungry friends (I hope the ladies can understand teehee =x), I will try my best to use my imaginative juices to relive the experience during that wonderful magical moment.

... With the help of RANDOM GOOGLY PICTURE FIND!!

So it all began with a number of companies performing up on stage, like:

some magic card tricks

a bit of band jamming

But enough of that. Everything went insane when a group of ladies from the SAF MDC (Music & Drama Company) entered the stage and rocked it, performing numbers such as Dancing Queen by Abba, When I Grow Up by Pussycat Dolls, Mercy by Duffy and so on.

But the environment went exceptionally havoc during When I Grow Up:

re-enactments as close as possible

It was so damn awesome that the hall almost turned into a mosh pit.

almost.

So that was one hell of a night my platoonmates and I will never forget. Oh, since we're BMT-ing for 6 months that means we have 2 Recruit's Evening, yay.

Ok I'll stop with internet jpeg stealing from this point. Hope you guys are in good health and prosperity as well.

Cheers.

Update

2009-02-21T11:58:00.004+08:00

Woo, long time no see.

Ok I'll just keep it short. I'm at 97.4kg during the last weigh-in, which means I have lost up till now a total of 14.2kg (my target minimum is to lose 30kg, still got about halfway to go now lol). Its week 9, which means I have 17 more weeks to go. So by mathematical assumption by POP week I'd have lost about 40.4kg (if I'm losing at this current rate that I'm going). That would mean my weight would be at about 76kg lol.

Its starting to get real busy in camp now. Had some rifle theory test yesterday and I guess it went pretty well since I didn't cock up anything. But whole day wearing Long No. 4 can get abit uncomfortable, especially in the later hours of training with all that sweat on your clothings and underwear and socks lol.

Ok gotta go do laundry now, crap. Then its time to enjoy some quality time with Saints Row 2 on the PS3 (YES I HAVE ONE NOW GODDAMMIT BWAHAHAHAHA... no money to buy games though, only have 1 atm lol :x)

Cheers.

Dull.

2009-01-31T06:24:00.002+08:00

Totally describes the kind of life I'm living in right now. Well, not really totally, just somewhat most of the time. The only time I can go out is during weekends - feels just like secondary school days, only that back then my weekdays weren't packed with intense physical training - provided that I don't come back home and plop straight into bed.

All I can say is that it feels great doing NS (no seriously, I'm not joking) but slowly, little by little I'm starting to hate some activities (namely area cleaning rofl - ok actually I only hate the standby bed/universe) and at the same time love some of them (aerobics!!... minus the hot chicks in tight leotards).

So yeah, 20 more weeks to go. Hope you guys are doing good and well.

Cheers.

Weekend

2009-01-18T07:08:00.003+08:00

that sucks, for the first time lol.

Bookout yesterday evening, booking in tonight. Already going 1 & 1/2 months in BMT, time flies damn fast man. Tekong food eat like funfair but amazingly I'm still losing weight. Chinups still hopeless - doesn't matter, whole company nobody can do also LOL. Pushups/crunches also becoming like funfair, every now and then will kena, but I seriously find that its good for training up. Well, now I'm just hoping the coming CNY week will be quite a long weekend - I need more sleep omg =x

Cheers & godspeed.

22 Weeks

2009-01-10T18:36:00.003+08:00

to go.

Its been quite an experience serving NS so far lol. The food, the training, the random appearance of chicks during enlistment day, the marching, the camaraderie, the songs, the "stories", the admin time and the sea breeze.

Can't believe that its better than what I expected.

Cheers and godspeed.

Happy 2009

When The Cold Wind Blows

2008-12-25T00:13:00.000+08:00

In the early morning run,
With my buddies by my side.
With an aching in my heart,
And my body full of sweat.

I'm a long, long way from home,
And I miss my darling so.
In the early morning run,
When the cold wind blow...

When the cold wind blow...
When the cold wind blow...
When the cold wind blow...
Oh I miss you so.

I know, I know...
You have to go...
So hurry back home...
Cause I miss you so.

24 weeks to go.

Cheers and godspeed.

Godspeed.

Today's the day I start my NS, and I'll be accompanied by 1 less loved one.

Hoping that things will turn out fine in the end.

Aight, time to go and get ready. I'll see you guys around Christmas or so.

Godspeed.

Monster's Den: Book of Dread

2008-12-11T03:25:00.006+08:00

So I was playing this flash game @ Kongregate (link at right column), which happened to be the upgraded version of a previous game that I played and liked alot (Monster's Den).

I didn't know there were some cool additions in this version, such as new "legendary" dungeon bosses that spawns at random levels.

By legendary, it means you're so freaking screwed if you come unprepared lol. Which was what happened to me when I engaged Gorgon, that Medusa-like foul underworld fiend.

This bitch killed my party once, am about to take my revenge (dammit I lost 1 equip per party member + 2 from inventory).

And so she drops me her head, awesome lol.

I think I miss Maplestory. (LOL)

Well honestly I don't know, but Tales of Phantasia got me hooked till the end (even though I'm playing the really crap version on GBA). So I'm guessing now Maplestory has something to do with the 2D RPG gameplay.

The introduction trailer for Tales of Phantasia(jp) from SNES:

And this is the crap quality for Tales of Phantasia(en) from GBA:

Epic quality & voiceover fail for GBA lol.

"Nope, I wasn't mugged. Nor was I held hostage. In fact, I wasn't apart of any life threatening incident. What I went through, was definitely much worse.

I was hit by a severe case of paranoia. I've just returned, back into my safe haven. I couldn't help thinking back of the moments - as I was walking back towards home, alone - and such thoughts trigger an eerie chill down my nerves.

Each time I reach a turn around a corner or pillar, I keep expecting an Infected to appear. Worse still, I wasn't expecting it to appear from around that turn. Instead I was guessing that there would be nothing there, and then... suddenly WHAM! A Hunter pounces on me. Or a Smoker constricts its tongue around me. Or a Boomer projectiles its vomit onto me.

Even now as I type this, I begin to discover that I am starting to feel claustrophobic. In a room with the door locked and windows shut, it can only mean one thing. Left for dead. Fodder for the infected horde. Infected by the zombie apocalypse.

Anytime now, just anytime, an Infected might crash right into those windows. Or maybe I'm not that lucky and I'll meet Mr Tank in person busting through the door.

The paranoia... the paranoia..."

Ya ok I know I've said I wouldn't be blogging in the upcoming months.

Ok so I am a liar then, just like those Nazi soldiers in Call of Duty: World At War. Oh wait, they weren't liars, they just happen to hate and despise the jew. And plan to conquer the world and stuff, just like the typical men of days without the Internet.

I am no jew. Neither am I a Nazi.

But I was Pvt. Miller of the Americans (who happened to be playing co-op with 2 other Pvt Millers, them bloody impostors). And some russian hero of Stalingard by the name of Dimitri. (also, with 2 other Dimitri impostors)

So anyway yesterday my friends and I headed down to our favourite local Lan Shop (certified of approval since 2000) and we noticed some changes to the hardware on certain sections of the shop.

We got surprised when it wasn't just the hardware that changed.

They've added more playable online games - WoW, Warhammer Online to name some (wtf, why don't they have Everquest?! EQ > WoW! - not that it really matters because I've no longer played that game anyway). But our sights were set upon some of the new PC games - Command & Conquer:Red Alert III, Need For Speed: Undercover, Call of Duty: World At War, Left 4 Dead, Maplesto-wait, wtf that game is still there?!

So my buddies and I spent about 4 hours completing all the missions in Call of Duty: World At War Co-op mode. Basically what happens in Co-op is that you are playing multiplayer mode in the singleplayer scenarios. Oh, you need at least 2 players for that mode, obviously.

What I liked about CoD:WAW was basically because of the Co-op mode. The previous one, CoD IV: Modern Warfare had multiplayer, but it was meant only for pvp combat without any AI bots. I'm not sure how multiplayer works this time round though (probably the same), but I guess it doesn't really matter with the Co-op play option being available.

CoD V storyline centers on 2 main characters - Pvt Miller of the Americans and Dimitri of the Russians. The plot is set back to during WWII and the incidents took place during the reversal of roles, when Americans were defeating the Japanese and the Russians on the German Nazis.

It was really fun playing in Co-op because in singleplayer, once you're dead, the game ends there. In Co-op, if one of you were to fall in the battlefield, your comrades ~~can~~ must head over to revive you. The catch? When you fall, you'll enter a "dying mode" - you're alive but the screen goes grayscale on you and things around you seem somewhat faded. As your last moments close in, a handgun is loaded in your hand so you'd prolly take down that bastard that shot you (or you can head to the toilet while waiting for a revive). However, after a certain amount of time, if no one revives you, the game is over for everyone. So leave no man behind (unless its AI).

So in Co-op, as much as I liked to think it will be pretty easy, its not. Particularly in missions when you have a choice to flank the enemy from two different sides. We had that instance once where we were split up and my friend got shot and I blindly rushed through ahead right into the fray towards the other flank trying to get to him in time. That wasn't really my genius moment (seriously, would you run straight into heavy enemy fire to the other side just to revive a friend if that scenario was real? lol). Not surprising the game ended when I got shot down and our other friend failed to attend to the first guy in time.

Now let's talk abit about the equipment. At first I thought it was quite ridiculous that you only had so few firepower with you, but eventually I realised back then they didn't need much stuff to rush into war - no nightvision, no gas mask etc. 2 sets of guns - ranges from sniper rifles to submachine guns to panzerchecks to even pistols (killing with different weapons earn you different honor ranks), some frag grenades and other grenades (smoke for Americans, molotov for Russians). And you're all good to go.

So when you fall, as I've mentioned earlier, you go into this "dying mode", but you're automatically equipped with a handgun to provide cover for your mate who's attempting to revive you (unless the smart ass blocks your view). Only thing I wished was that when you fall, you still keep your rifle with you and not automatically switch to the handgun (ok, might be abit unrealistic at times but at least allow the usage of the lighter rifles/submachine guns).

Overall I think the most fun moment for me was when I got the flamethrower and the mission was set for us to run through the dug trenches and make our way out while under heavy fire from hostiles. It was fun whenever we hit a small camp. I would lob smoke grenades and while the enemies can't see us, I'll Rambo in and start flaming through the camp and turn it into inferno fodder.

So, if you're a fan of FPS (First Person Shooter) games you should check CoD: WAW co-op out with your buddies. The game is a blast.

So now we wait for another day to play Left 4 Dead and CnC: Red Alert III. NFS:Undercover doesn't seem to have multiplayer (didn't check the game thoroughly though).

Cheers and godspeed.

P.S Kelly Hu and that guy who plays Kaito Nakamura in Heroes is in CnC: Red Alert III, Maggie Q and Christina Milian are both in NFS: Undercover and hardcore japanese men with bayonets are in CoD: WAW. So what's up with that?

Goodbye, for now.

Sup folks, as mentioned in the heading, I wont be blogging for a while in the upcoming months.

Well, I'm enlisting in the army soon and life has pretty much gone very boring for me and facebook is getting pretty fucked up atm (uploading photos is a bitch). So I'll see you guys when I see you.

The conversion of the Ohanatown into an online social board has been completed after few weeks of preparations and planning. We have decided to rename the community to Couchpotato!

This community serves as a medium for Ohanians to congregate back together for a fresh start. The grand opening of Couchpotato is on 10th of October 2008 whereby www.Ohanatown.org will be re-directed to www.Couchpotato.sg

Introduction:
This community is created to gather couch potatoes from all walk of lives, coming together to socialize and make new

... blablabla yaddayaddayadda. (sorry to cut your words Sasa lol)

Check it out. Join the community for some laid-back fun and relaxation. If you're into roleplaying like me(not the one on the bed with ropes and gags and stuff please), come check us out. We're about to start a new journey but will most likely welcome new players who are interested and have a sense of fun and creativity with words in forging an adventure in a land of magic and mystery (think D&D pen&paper style... that just ran out of pens and papers hence resorting to online forumming).

There's a link to the forum on the right column of this site that says CouchPotato.

So like, I'm sitting right here in this lanshop at the moment, right.

And I happen to get a seat right below this alarm bell (which I doubt anyone would notice it being there at all at any point of time)

And just a few minutes ago, the bell went off (for no apparent reason, cause if there was a fire, everyone would've been asked to evacuate and stuff), and I'm lucky enough to be bloody hell underneath it.

.... AND NOW THE FUCKING THING HAS JUST FINALLY STOPPED RINGING!

so now I have this resounding ringing in my ears...

fucking fabulous.

Cheers.

Rocking the Band

2008-10-07T13:10:00.002+08:00

Firstly, I have not died, nor have I become a fugitive gone into hiding. Its been pretty long since the last update because I was busy with work. Yes you saw it right, I said I was working - its unbelievable, but its what one must do in order to have money and not just leech from his parents (I thought money grew on trees *cry*)

So yesterday happened to be the last day of work (Robinsons @ Expo) and a couple of my workmates decided to have a small outing after that. The initial idea was just a simple lunch/dinner (of all places, someone picked Bedok, wtf?) but it ended up with me gathering a few people for our own little group outing.

It all began with pool. As usual I'm still averagingly useless when it comes to cuesticks but its okay, pool is a great game for buddies as well as couples. You can play at your own pace and at the same time engage in conversations to build up the relationship with the other person. Just remember to not keep repeating the Come-Play-With-My-"Stick" joke or anything along that line if you're a guy playing with a girl (in pool, obviously), it gets really old fast.

So anyway, after pool we grabbed a bite and then planned to do something else. I guess it was just by luck that we were playing pool at Cineleisure, because I suggested we head to E2Max @ lvl 9 and play some consoles. I was only aiming for Wii, because firstly its interactive, and its very fun if you're playing with girls (on consoles, obviously).

Apparently on that day, there was this RockBand trial offer (free play for about 15minutes) which we happily took up because its FREE and of course, RockBand is becoming more and more of a sensational gaming platform these days.

Before I begin describing about RockBand, I have to tell you that I have absolutely zero experience in playing music based games because I am abit of a retard when it comes to hand-eye-color-sound coordination. But after experiencing RockBand, I made a whole new realisation: I am definitely 100% positively retarded at playing music based games!

Ok but honestly I didn't suck so bad, and I had fun trying out the drum set and guitar (I totally avoided the microphone, because puuh-leese, I have the voice of a broken hi-fi system, you don't want me doing vocals) I took some pictures and even a short video clip of us playing RockBand, but since my phone is as retarded as me (has an in-built Bluetooth that cannot work) so I guess posting it up here is not gonna happen, sheesh.

So after the free "jamming" session, we went on to play Guitar Hero III (Legends of Rock) and once again, my hopelessly retarded coordination skills were put to the test. I found out I didn't suck so bad, as long as I could find the tune and stick to the momentum of the song. I screw up whenever the momentum gets lost or if suddenly, the screen barrages me with a lot of colors which I frantically fail at trying to organise some form of color coordination with my hand and eye. Oh, and knowing the song pretty much helps with the playing too. (I'm pretty okay at "Medium" level with 4 color keys and so I'm thinking of trying "Hard" the next time round)

So as a conclusion to this post, if you're averagingly useless at playing pool and score an absolute zero in playing music games or is a retard at hand-eye-color-music games, try RockBand.

Otherwise I'd like to just wish you all good health and prosperity and a belated Selamat Hari Raya.

Cheers.

Pussy!

If you're thinking pussy like, THAT pussy, then uhm... no comment.

If you're thinking Pussycat Dolls, then...

Ok, so if you're done watching the video, let's move on.

So as I was saying, that pussy refers to a cat - and its not just any cat, its Weiwen's cat.

It scratches, it bites, it purrs, it growls, it... ok fine it does everything that small feminine pussycats do.

So liek... PIKTURE TYME! (no Photoshop, so I can't do the Lolcat moment)

Disclaimer: Post may contain offensive adult mature material. (if you're suffering from cancer and happen to have an infected dick, stop reading. Lol warned.)

So the previous weekend I was bored (let's face it, I'm always bored nowadays ever since my laptop broke down and I gave up on getting it repaired)

A few of my buddies and I decided to have dinner outside somewhere. So we headed over to Pizza Hut, all thanks to me.(Seoul Garden & Secret Recipe prices seems to rip your $$, Carl's Jr and Kenny Rogers doesn't have the 'halal' label)

6 guys out for dinner, we ordered 2 different sets. Hutz Couple Meal (grats JJ and Chongren, gay chinese bastards) and the Starzbites Meal, shared by the remaining 4.

Once the pizzas start coming in though, I wish I had the Couple Meal instead. The Starzbites Pizza looked like um.. alot of dicks attached together glued via cheese. Well, on 1 slice the crust felt like 2 dangling balls instead; slicing it further in half turns it into a some sort of amputated cock that belongs to a guy suffering from cancer.

If at this point you're going like, "OMG DUED LIEK RLY?!", I have sufficient proof.

click to ~~erect~~ enlarge

Ok so its only JUST 1 picture, but yeah whatever. (btw, that particular piece in the picture happens to be smothered with alot of cheddar cheese)

But overall, its pretty good I guess. I can't really recall how it tastes like because throughout the dinner we were laughing at how ridiculous the pizza looks like (every piece was smothered with cheddar so basically its plain cheese pizza wtf) and also at JJ and Chongren's gay attempt of sharing the Hutz Couple Meal (its just a pan pizza btw).

Cheers.

Let's Put A Smile On That Face!

2008-07-24T19:49:00.004+08:00

So, looking back to this week, I went to the cinema to catch The Dark Knight with my buddies and I have to say it was really a great movie. I liked the atmosphere generated throughout the whole movie; the really dark environment of Gotham City seemed quite as fitting as that from the comic book.

The movie portrayed one of Batman's main nemesis, The Joker. And abit about how Harvey Dent became the man known as Two-Face.

Ok, so maybe there's a slight mistake with the Joker's wardrobe.

The main storyline flow is that the Joker appears as the badass clown who has some disturbing psychological issues (well if Ronald McDonald played the part of Joker, I'd find it psychologically disturbing too) regarding sanity.

Gotham City streets recently became void of crime, many thanks to Harvey Dent. The Joker makes his own decision to introduce problems which involved a ring of crimelords and plays his own mind-boggling games with Batman and the Gotham City authorities (including Jim Gordon).

Heath Ledger brilliantly roleplayed the Joker, though I was actually looking for a more slightly laid-back, relaxed clown who would hurl weird witty comments out whenever possible.

I'm not sure for you guys who have caught the movie, but to me it was the Joker that stole the show right from the bank heist. Batman sounded like he could use a large dose of Strepsils even though I understand he's trying not reveal his identity verbally. Alfred had the Brit accent, which seemed fine for me, but it felt weird from another point because I'm kinda used to seeing Alfred being the type of butler in the comics - old, aged with experience and wisdom (like in the comics).

The flow of the movie was excellent; the calm, deathly, chilling atmosphere was there when the chase for the Joker began and it kept on right till the end.

So while The Dark Knight is still up for selection at movie theatres, I suggest you check it out if you have not done so. A movie definitely worth your money (and other crap you buy that you smuggle with you into the cinema).

"Why so serious, son?"

Cheers.

Yup, one of those days I am technically bored with nothing interesting or fun whatsoever encircling through my mind.

But, to at least return you the favour of not having wasted your precious moments of your life by coming here, I leave you with a comment page for a game from SanrioTown, Hello Kitty Online.

I kid you not. Since we all play games that require us to endlessly bash opponents silly and try to not die from an incoming barrage of enemy techniques, spells and skills, let's all take a breather and try to play this cutesy little game. Online.

Have fun reading! lol

Cheers.

Hancock

2008-07-08T10:36:00.006+08:00

Overall, a movie worth catching. (even though I missed like 10 minutes' worth at the beginning)

The basic storyline of the movie is about a superhero who has lost all respect from the people. And it is up to him to gain popularity back, like how all other superheroes do, with them.

The story develops a twist of its own as it progresses and like all other superheroes, the movie portrays Hancock's weakness (catch the movie, I'm not gonna go spoiling everything lol). A flick worth catching with your good buddies.

Oh btw, I swear I could fit that phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" in that movie as well.

There used to be many chicks that I would willingly die over for; kinda wondered what happened to them *sigh*

I'm still trying to wave my remote control from my room and make it switch on the TV in the living room. Gotta focus my instincts and let it curve the infrared line. [alert]*damnyoumoviegeek*[/alert]

Tagged by: Howdy

- If your lover betrayed you, what would your reaction be?

I would feel betrayed. Yup. Then following up would be the usual relationship quarrel/squabble and then hopefully it comes to a positive conclusion and we make it up to each other ~~by having raunchy hot sex in the bed~~.

- If you could have a dream come true, what would it be?

Live life in Icewind Dale alongside the Companions of the Hall. Its a weird dream to have, but yeah.

- What would your dream wedding be like?

I am married to an endless number of hot babes by the beach, all dressed in swimsuits.

Ok, I'm joking.

I'm not sure but the Malay tradition of weddings pretty much cancels out most of the dreams I would probably want to have in the first place.

- Are you confused about what lies ahead of you?

Sometimes I feel insecu- no wait, actually I don't really feel anythi- uhh then again, maybe at times I do have the urge to just stand in the living room and- ok next question please.

- What's your ideal lover like?

Beautiful smile, gentle face, and to quote from Yan, "a kitten outside but a tiger in bed" (is this probably why I don't have a girlfriend? I ask for so much in bed)

- Is it more blessed to love or be loved?

It depends on who you love and who loves you, right? o.O

- How long would you wait for someone you really love?

Until the point where I can't stand waiting anymore and just feel that I should move on lol

- If your secret crush is attached, what would you do?

If its possible, try to unattach the crush. (by blackmail, voodoo, death threats, kidnap ransom etc) Otherwise just move on and find the next crush.

Yes, people who own PS3 and enjoying MGS4 with the Beauty and the Beast Units. DAMN YOU BASTARDS!! DIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!

- If you wanted to do two things at once, how do you decide what to do?

Just procrastinate and don't do either.

Don't know. I try to accommodate myself to the people I hang around with usually.

E-pet? yes. Otherwise, no.

Want to Play

2008-06-23T12:19:00.004+08:00

... MGS4, like now.
Ok but first, I have to buy a PS3. Then I shall be able to play MGS4.

Why MGS4 out of all games that I can pick?

Because I am a testosterone-fueled organism and like many others before me, we cannot bare to sit by the sidelines and watch the community of the gamerkind enjoy trying to annihilate the 4 voluptuous bosses of beauty who were developed and honed to perfect modelling detail.

If you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about,

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, FREAKS!

Raging Raven

Screaming Mantis

Crying Wolf

There's one more called Laughing Octopus, but I just cant seem to find a video on her yet. These characters, better known as a group called the Beauty and the Beast Units, are actually created off real life models in person. Yumi Kikuchi is the face behind Raging Raven.

So damn to all you PS3 + MGS4 owners! May you die a horrendous death to these wicked witches of m-ASS destuction!

*turns obsessed with MGS4 like how Gollum got obsessed with the One Ring in LotR*

"My precciiouussssss..."

Getting Smart

2008-06-22T16:41:00.002+08:00

My creative juice is gone, that's probably why I don't blog often now. (ok I lied, I'm just a lazy bastard, fine)

So after watching this hot radical chick that eats what I would've not mistaken as a tube of Smarties and then going off kicking people's ass and collecting her mom's debts, I decided to get hooked on another show at the cinemas.

Having not much money it finally came down to my friend and I deciding on a show that would be worth the $6 (not including popcorns + nachos + other rubbish junk you bring with you into the cinema). The two of us were stuck between The Incredible Hulk, Zohan, Get Smart and Never Back Down. (oh yeah we watched Kungfu Panda like a few weeks before this)

The initial plan was to seperate all the shows and each of us picking 1 movie and then after which we would sit at McDonalds and share about each movie that we have watched. Realizing that the plan was no doubt the dumbest most screwed up idea we ever came up with, we decided to watch Get Smart.

The movie begins with this secret service assocation called Control getting attacked. The main hero (Steve Carell) finally gets offered a job as a field agent after years working in the office and his partner was to be the lovely, stare-at-my-butt-and-ill-kick-your-balls (ok I made that up) agent 99 - Anne Hathaway. They were supposed to infiltrate this group of baddies who call themselves KAOS (or was it CHAOS, I can't recall), the usual people who stir up trouble with threats of nuclear disasters and such.

As the mission escalates agent 86 (Carell) learns about agent 99's past-ok that's it I'm sticking to names from now, I'm having a hard time using numbers. Hathaway blew a mission with her previous partner (which turns out to be with the Rock) so she underwent plastic surgery and got a new identity.

So with the typical fairytale ending Carell saves the day with Hathaway and the Rock was unmasked as the double agent who works for both KAOS and Control and ends up getting beaten up by Carell (shouldn't miss the part how Rock gets beaten up, its pretty hilarious) and pretty much dies after his vehicle gets rammed into an oncoming train.

The movie was pretty funny but overall I think it lacked some sort of antique in it.

P.S I love Anne Hathaway in that sexy silver dress... raarrrr!!

Oh yeah, I'm gonna catch Wanted with a bunch of old buddies somewhere near the 28th or so. Angelina Jolie + hot babe assassin = HOT SECKS! HOT SECKS! w000t fuck ye-*ehem*.. I mean, it should be quite an awesome combination to keep an eye out for.

Cheers.

Chocolate

2008-06-06T10:49:00.002+08:00

What the trailer showed and what the actual movie was like gave me different impressions. I'm quite a big fan of martial artistic style of movies and I thought that I should catch Chocolate if I have the time to.

Which I did. Yesterday.

My friends and I actually planned to watch one at 7:10pm but due to some unforseen circumstances I met with an unfortunate accident (*cough*lies*cough*) therefore I arrived just in time to buy tickets right as the show began. So we decided to forward the showtime and bought tickets for the 9:05pm movie.

Even being the last movie showtime of the day and this not being the exclusive premier show, the cinema seats still managed to end up getting filled and the whole crowd enjoyed the movie.

The action scenes seemed never-ending and the style of the martial arts in this movie seemed pretty much like a mixture from the Asian martial arts - from kung fu to muay thai but the execution of the moves were not just simple punch and kicks, there were alot of twirling and spinning as well.

Storyline wise its nothing much so basically in this movie, you're just paying to watch the fast-hitting action moves. Oh there is also a group of Charlie's Bapoks as well. We wanted to name them Charlie's Angels but uhm.. well you know them Thailand "ladies".

And its all worth the money. Well at least it was for me.

Cheers.

P.S I have decided to not send my laptop for repair lmao.

So this few weeks I'll definitely be MIA on the net, probably outside looking for a job (about time too, need the money baaaaddd)

So her name is Sally Yuh and being the curious, testosterone-fueled guy I clicked on her friendster page and I was like WOWOWOW MAMA!!!11 DIS LIEK TEH HAWT STUFFZ!!11 *closes all adult based web browsers* And so I went to check the network linkage and it said that she's in my extended network (that means beyond your 3rd level of friends).

Now, being sexcited and all, I do have some doubts.

is that reaaaaaaaaalllly her picture?

is that reaaaaaaaaalllly a girl behind the screen?

could it be that my manliness has gained some unwanted attraction from some dude? hence he tries to seduce me by alternative methods?

my window stays open about 24/7 (not widely open, but yeah, enough to see the room). Could it be that someone from the opposite block is stalking me and is a hacker and found out my friendster account and is now blackmailing me by sending a comment via a fake female account? (I have no reason why someone would do that, I'm not the looks-to-die-for type for god's sake)

Ok, so point 3 and 4 sounds quite ridiculous.

So now I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out my past, whether I had known anyone called Sally or anybody familiar that had the surname "Yuh"...

running C:\My Documents\Stalker Folder\Unknown Females\Wrack.exe...

wracking...
wracking...
wracking...

...insufficient memory detected. Current task terminated.

Well anyway, she only left a random graphic based comment but its pretty amazing I got a random one from someone who looks like her in the picture (hopefully it is). Who has only 4 friends with no comments (at point of posting).

Weekend

2008-04-19T12:27:00.005+08:00

So lately I'm getting really tired and bored of grinding in Cabal, especially skill grinding (things that repeat over and over again without much purpose puts me off the mood for playing) so I'm off for a break.

The dev team over at Shards of Dalaya recently released some new content so I'll most likely work on some new quest or continue doing Tmaps and try to get upgrades for my characters' gears. In the meantime I'm still looking for players who log in at night and try to gather them together so that we can work on the raiding content and stuff lol.

In the meantime, its been long since I've last slayed a named dragon with some people and I happened to remember to take some snapshots for this one.

waiting while the druids work on their track skill

Protector Kloie

Protector Kloie slain!

The loot wasn't really an eye candy but I finally got myself the pretty common resist-based Blue Dragonscale Bracer. Kloie also dropped a Windblade (free levitate clicky!) but it rotted because the warrior had a much better one lmao.

Cheers.

Lawful Good Human Paladin/Cleric (1st/1st Level)

Ability Scores:

Strength - 12

Dexterity - 13

Constitution - 12

Intelligence - 12

Wisdom - 14

Charisma - 13

Alignment: Lawful Good
A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment because it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.

Race: Humans
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Primary Class: Paladin
Paladins take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the paladin, a personal test an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to learn tactics, and to find ways to do good. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding off harm, protecting from disease, healing, and guarding against fear. The paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing wounds or curing diseases, and also use it to destroy evil. Experienced paladins can smite evil foes and turn away undead. A paladin's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast. Many of the paladin's special abilities also benefit from a high Charisma score.

Secondary Class: Cleric
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Find out
What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be?

So I guess its not a coincidence then why most of the time I pick classes that wield a sword (or any 1 handed weapon for that matter) and a shield. Tank classes appeal the most to me for the first impression and being able to heal yourself means you can pretty much last quite a while in the battlefield.

Why don't you give it a shot and see what kind of character you are. Tag me back to your blog though, I wanna see lol

Cheers.

Wtf Wrong Blog?

2008-04-16T15:52:00.014+08:00

Perhaps.

But if you were in case wondering if I'd been tampering with my blog layout and stuff, then my answer would be "Yes, I did."

I'm not sure whether the tampering is pretty much complete or not because I have no idea what other stuff I can do with the layout. Any further tamperings and I might as well head on to learn about creating a blogskin, which I do not plan to (can't be bothered more like, lol).

I've never really mastered CSS templating or any form of coding languages so bear with me while I hang on to Lady Luck and make adjustments while hoping that it all doesn't screw up in the end.

Here's a nice gift image of a charming young man from yours truly for being such lovely visitors thus far.

picture from I Can Has CheezBurger (well, somewhere in there)

So it took about 2-3 days of me playing that song Tell Me non-stop to get rid of it from my head. Now I can say I can live happily free and my buddies now dont have to keep blocking chats in game because of me spamming the lyrics while the song keeps playing through my headphones *phew*

Anyway, recently about 1 month ago was EverQuest's 9th Anniversary. Now if you don't know, EverQuest is my first and last love of my life. Its probably the only game that got me so hooked in its lore and history that until now I still read through all the tomes, diaries and compendiums (from a site dedicated to EQ Lore) that I didn't manage to read when playing the game.

EQ was my obsession and it was my haven where I constantly escape from the real world to live in this alternate virtual reality. I think I've learnt more lessons in life in EQ than in life itself. I've seen them all - love, hate, friendship, relationship, trust, luck, victories, defeat, honor. You name it, I'm pretty sure I've experienced them in EQ.

The subscription was about 20-30 bucks per month if I'm not mistaken and back then I thought it was pretty costly. Now after spending endlessly on worthless items that don't really help me much when playing other games, I now think that EQ was a value-for-money game.

Anyway enough about me trying to point out that EQ is probably the best MMORPG of all time. This post I made is somewhat in reference of EQ as well as many other online games. Its becoming more of a trend when 2 gamers decide to get serious and begin a new chapter in their alternate reality by dedicating themselves to each other and become partners for e-life.

And so I stumbled upon this following video:

Ignoring the comments about the lady being old enough to be that man's mom and such (I actually lol'd badly at the comment, it may seem somewhat true but hey, who would dare to question God's decisions) I found it quite nice to see two EverQuest2 players getting wedded in a fan faire event. No matter what background they came from, in the end, love brought these 2 people together and they binded their love via marriage live in-game.

Ok, I'm gonna go cry for joy for them now. Leave me alone, lol.

Cheers.

Tell Me, Tell Me

2008-04-07T00:18:00.005+08:00

Ok, so I guess its time to break the silence of no-posting period once again. I've been busy playing CabalSea all this while and grinding for skill ranks is no cakewalk (although compared to Maplestory's super crap rate of leveling after 80, Cabal's skill exp grind is pretty much way better)

Anyway enough about online games for now. I've recently taken interest into a song - and its not just any song, its a Korean upbeat kinda song, sang by a group of girls (obviously...) and they call themselves Wonder Girls. I realised I've been watching too much Youtube videos with regards that song so I thought I might as well share it here on blog. The song was produced last year I think so its not really that new haha.

I have no idea why I'm mesmerized the first time I watched the video - could be that its a group of 5 decent and cute looking girls, or maybe because the background music has somesort of a female moaning sound in the background at times, or maybe because the music has a quite catchy tune, or because I find the girl that transforms into the Wonder Woman lookalike pretty much cuter than the rest of the group (the chick in orange top if I'm not mistaken), I don't know.

Bottom line is I'm hooked on it at the moment for some reason. Even more than my adult collection of vide-uuhhh nevermind. This is prolly the 2nd type of uhh.. hip-hop/pop (? I think) kinda song that I like lol, the first was Shake That Bootie by OneTwo (I know its 2 guys, dont ask why). Anyway here's Tell Me by Wonder Girls:

Oh and just for the record, I came upon this song because Cabal online has built in a dance move command and your character will do moves exactly like those in the video above. (so pretty much guy dancing blows in Cabal)

As for the lyrics, I suck at decoding for javascript, so you have to visit this site and then click on the lyrics pop-up thing, lol.

Cheers.

Something Random

2008-03-20T09:32:00.003+08:00

I wish I was an adventurer.

A dream that I have always wanted to pursue. A dream which, since childhood, I have spent days, weeks and months standing by the town square alongside many other townsfolk, admiring the many bands of such people that stop by for a day's rest or two.

And every night whenever there was a group of them in town, the tavern would be rowdy and be filled with sounds of merry-making and glass mugs clashing into each other as toast after toast is being made from each and everyone, for each and everyone. And within that same night there would be never-ending stories, the tales of many brave souls, the details of such stories always being so heart-warming, sometimes awe-inspiring. A heroic deed can be achieved from a variety of possibilities hence these men - and at times women too, are spurred on to fight for the greater good.

Of course, what would the story-telling session be like if there wasn't anything to showcase. Swords with blades engulfed in flames, immaculate robes, flowing like water and great big spiny maces are just a few of the artifacts that these adventurers managed to lay their hands on during their travels.

Then it would all stop.

At the break of dawn, the troupe of adventurers would gather together and head out of town, leaving the townsfolk clueless as to where they would head to next. It never fails to amaze me watching every band of adventurers that stopped by. The night before all of them were full of joy and humor, always at a complete loss of themselves. But at this moment, as I registered each and every one of their faces, I see themselves full of focus and determination, ever ready for what might be another breath-taking adventure.

Every one of them seem to have understood the fact that they will eventually fall one day and they acknowledge it, but until then they will shed as much blood of the enemy as possible, even when gasping out their last ounces of breaths.

I have never watched before these adventurers in combat, but their tales and stories are always shared between the townsfolk, usually from the traveling merchants who sometimes would happen upon a great scenic battles.

There would be descriptions of swordplay, whether it being savage and brutal or swift like the eastern winds or gracefully smooth as silk, the colorful details of the strands of arcane sorcery and of course, the rhythms of bards that unify the movements of the group - be it a crescendo or a requiem or even a cantata.

But alas, after all that excitement building up inside of me, my fate has already been sealed. I am just a young boy and I will grow up to work as a profession that I never had any genuine interest in the first place.

I wish I was an adventurer.

Gladewarden - Watcher of the World

2008-03-08T04:54:00.009+08:00

The Beginning.

Every story has a beginning. This was how it all began.

As I watched across the street, the old woman by the pavement, ragged and withering, sat down with a bowl cupped in her hands. By God’s will, she will have something to eat at the end of the day. I just know it. I’ve watched her every single day, across the street. And each day towards the end I see her face brighten as she counts the amount of shillings inside her bowl. And each day I see her walk towards the little coffee house and buy herself a bowl of rice and a glass of water. The amount of rice was probably no bigger than the fist of a young boy yet she seems thankful to have had something to fill her stomach. I would have helped the old lady if it wasn’t for the fact that I was just a schoolboy who had no proper pocket money. Furthermore my family was not of wealth.

Everyday after school ended I would take the same path I take everyday towards home. And everyday I would see this old woman, always the same, always ragged and withering, sitting by the pavement with a bowl in her hands. And as always I had the urge to do something about it, yet I could only stand there, across the street and just helplessly watch her.

Finally one day I managed to brave myself and walked across the street towards the old woman. As I approached nearer, she looked up at me, her face filled with that same hopeful expression like yesterday, or even the days before. I did not want to walk towards the woman yet somehow, as though by God’s will, I found myself standing right in front of her now, gazing right into her face. She smiled at me and I smiled back in response.

“What can I help you with, son?” asked the old lady, ever so gently and sweetly yet fragile.

“Why are you here every day, grandma?” I referred to her as a grandmother because I had no idea what to address her as. She had plenty of wrinkles and each time she walked over to the coffee house she stood slightly hunched back. Exactly like most grandmothers.

“Come child, sit down beside me, and I shall tell you my story,” she patted the empty space beside her on the mat. Once again warmth filled her words. I was compelled and sat down beside her and paid no attention to the passer-bys who wondered what in the name of heavens I was doing with an old raggedy woman like that.

“You must be a really good natured boy,” she said to me with a smile, as the patted my head and stroked it gently. “Usually little children would run away whenever I call to them or made faces and called me names.” I could not help but smile back and wondered at her words. I grew up without compliments from my family. I never really got to understand the meaning of care and concern. Somehow I felt sympathetic to her.

For the rest of the day I listened to her story. For the first time ever, after days and months of watching her from across the street, I had finally somehow been able to sit down beside her. Her story began like everyone else, having a family to live with, moreover a quite fancy one as well.

After the death of her parents, the sons and daughters met together to discuss about their parents’ will. They were given each a fair share of the family fortune, yet the elder siblings overcame with greed and soon an in-house rivalry began to tear them apart, bit by bit. Years go by and slowly each and every sibling of hers got married and went on to live on their own.

Except her.

She did not tell me reasons as to why she did not get engaged in a relationship as how most people would have done but continued on about how miserable her life became when she was the last one who lived in that family legacy of a house.

And suddenly one day it was gone. She explained to me that the last legacy of the family, the home she lived in, was worth quite a fortune. She had no idea how or what happened, but she only understood that she was disowned by her own family members and was evicted out of the house.

And this piece of pavement where we sit upon has been her home ever since.

By then she was already sobbing as she ploughed on about how life became meaningless to her up till the present. She was really downheartened but for some reason I was not able to shed a single tear for her. I came here to learn her story and understand more about this old lady but not to share or spare any feelings for her. By God's will.

"The only reason that I am here is because I believe in Him," she slowly tried to wipe away her tears with her thin, worn-out sleeve and looked at me with that same smile she had given me from the time I stood in front of her, to the time she started telling her story. Her eyes glistened and there were still tears rolling down her bony cheeks. "Its because I am living out of nothing but faith."

"The society these days are blinded from the will of God," she continued, still sobbing slightly. "They place everything else above faith. Faith is for the weak-willed. Faith is for the weak-minded. Faith basically is for the weak. Power, money, influence - those are the things that would make you human. That is what they believe in." I nodded my head slowly as though I understood, but honestly I was clueless. Yet I just sat there and listened attentively as she poured out her intentions and feelings towards me.

"There are few who still believe in faith but most of them are left confused because they are being overburdened by the other factors of life, factors that bring meaningless purpose in this world. I believe I was like them once, when I was part of that family." Her head drooped and she fell silent for a moment, the occasional sobs heard from within her.

“I think it’s best if you head home now, child, or your parents might worry for you,” There were trails of little sobs in between her words still, but it was true that it was getting late. I offered my handkerchief and slowly wiped her eyes clean. I said my goodbyes to her and hoped that I could sit beside her again tomorrow and hear her tell another story. She said I was more than welcomed to. Before I left I took out a few shillings I had saved all this while and placed it into her bowl.

“Bless you child,” she said softly, as I slowly paced away heading for home. “May your soul be watched by the Almighty. Always.”

Always.

The following day she was gone. As I stood there, across the street, I wondered where she had gone to. There was no trace of her. The bowl was gone, the mat was not there, the old raggedy withering woman sitting down had vanished. Yet I knew one thing. It was all God’s will.

As I recall this moment in my life, I could think of only one word.

Faith.

The word itself would properly have been much more meaningful had this been a few millenniums ago. The doctrine of major religions.

Faith.

To believe in the power of the cosmic. To recognize that such power is the greatest, the most powerful. To worship the Almighty. But in this age, what has happened to such beliefs? The world is now doomed into blasphemy.

The story above was purely fictional and created right out of my thoughts at 2am in the morning (so yeah I was probably out of my mind or possibly sleep-typing), I just felt like writing something and sharing it out. I am not a college professor nor am I completely fluent in English so please do excuse me for the grammar mistakes and all.

Dungeon Running

2008-02-24T08:47:00.005+08:00

Recently I downloaded Dungeon Runners because I'm running out of games to play. The MMOGs nowadays always come with some form of complexity. There's always a downside that will eventually grab hold of you and make you feel dreaded and such until you get so sick of it that you just want to quit and move on to another game.

I must say Dungeon Runners is probably one of the games that went beyond my initial expectation. You know that every game, after watching trailers and reading up more about it, you will automatically have somesort of a standard or requirement that the actual gameplay has to satisfy before you will decide whether this game is worth the time or not.

So after trying to make commitments to many games that come into my hands, I finally decided to try and find a game with something of a short-lived achievement. I guess I found it - Dungeon Runners.

As usual, there is of course, a catch to such a game. The catch is that the game is not really free - well you can play it for free like what I'm doing but you'll be missing some stuff. As quoted from the website itself:

In-game Advertising
We’ve added in-game advertising to this build of Dungeon Runners. These ads are only visible to free players and they add a whole host of new functionality for our non-paying guests.

Bank Space
Free players now have one bank page available to them. Paying members now have three bank pages.

Stacking Potions
Minor mana and health potions now stack to 5, giving free players more room to hold loot. Major potions now stack to 10, making them twice as good as the free player potions!

Improved Loot Access
Free players may now use what was previously members-only loot. Of course, there has to be a catch… or else why would members be members? This is how it works: 75% of yellow items that drop may be used by free players and 25% of purple or rainbow items that drop may be used by free players. You’ll know if an item can be used because it won’t have “Requires Membership” in the tooltip. All items received from King’s Coin vendors are usable by free players – but are, of course, soulbound on delivery.

But honestly for a free game its pretty neat actually. To summarise what the game is all about, think Diablo II with a much larger quest database in a WoW point of perspective.

Oh yea, the really important part. Its FUN(well... quite). The combination of simplicity and the humor and everything else just makes it nothing but fun. Though it might get abit repetitive but it all goes down to how you play the game.

The Rat-erminator. Cyborg body parts sold separately.

There are a few things in this game that appeal to me, among them are:

Sufficiently Large Quest Database - so that you wont get bored of just grinding your way through, there are repeatable ones too

Load Up & Go - the simplicity is just there, not much hassle of waiting; just go solo or team up with a friend

Levels of Difficulty - boss seems to easy? need a tougher challenge? need better ub3r l337 ek1pz? adjust the level of difficulty with just a few clicks away

No Long Re-runs - you dont have to traverse the whole 20 levels just to reach the boss, just click "Reset Instance" and warp back via the Obelisk and you're all set for another round with the boss

"This round sucks." So let's go for another round.

Excellent Save Feature - remember Diablo II's waypoints? well in here each time you enter a new zone its automatically saved as a waypoint via the Obelisk so if you need to rush off suddenly you can just leave and then later come back to finish exploring that same level (random dungeon generator, so everything resets, including your maps)

Yes, that black tower with a blue ring in the middle is the Obelisk. It will compel you.

Complete Freedom of Customization - there are 3 classes to pick from; warrior - mage - ranger but the game allows you to customize as much as you want (meaning equipments are free-for-all to be worn and ALL skills can be learned by everyone, its just a matter of your style of play). You can unleash uber awesome titles too.

So the game brings back that old-school-dungeon-kick-ass-Diablo-style kind of gameplay. There are also some other stuff that I liked as well about the game.

One of them is the really weird and hilarious NPC dialogues where they throw sarcastic or nasty remarks at you, some of them making sense while others are somewhat random.

"If you see the ghost of my dead father, tell him I'm... sorry about the poison," - Lothar, the "Warrior" trainer

The other thing I like about the game is the King's Coin. You get them as rewards besides gol-uh-platin-uh... well, the game currency (wtf there's actually no term for it lmao). Its not really that hard to earn the coins, but the quests that are related to them might take a few runs. So basically if you see people selling stuff and you either a) dont have the money or b) its not to your liking, you can use your King's Coins to gamble for a random item.

Question of the day: How slow is a 'Grandma' attack speed?

The cool thing is the items that you get are most probably much cooler than what you'd find in a normal dungeon run (this is in perspective of you being the newbie player). But whether you need the stats or not is completely up to you (I tried to trade for a mage shield, they gave me the wicked-looking shield in my inventory with some 20+ Endurance and no Intellect, but it has awesome defense and some resists so I wore it).

And last but not least, the unique titles that I mentioned somewhere earlier in the post. Every single player has his/her own title according to the stats you have, the skills you load up in your spell hotbar and also your level. There's a really long list of titles so if you wanna have a look you can do so right here

So overall I must say this is really a neat game to play even if you're not on membership. But if you pay for just a bit more, you get the edge of experiencing full gameplay content. Its definitely a game for everyone who is not into hardcore raiding and farming and eyebags and every other rubbish that players come up with these days. If you feel like accomplishing a short term goal for the day, then this game is for you.

They said don't light your fart on fire; I didn't listen.

Oh and if you're bored there's always the PvP server to test out your mettle. They only show your kills, they NEVER show your deaths ;P

Nope, that's not a spell or effect. It's my waypoint portal.

Cheers.

Trailers.

2008-02-18T04:08:00.006+08:00

I've been doing some trailer-surfing lately for adult materi-uh-I mean online games, and I noticed how much a trailer affects your first impressions of the game. This is totally my own opinion so some points you might not agree with what I say or maybe because I chose not to explain in detail.

The trailer is like the window of a house. From the outside you see only part of the house. You don't get the whole house until you buy it. The same can be said for a game. A good window will show the beautiful part of the house which makes the person want to buy the house. But when you buy the house and live inside, it can be a whole different story. A good trailer will show the wonderful aspects of gameplay that makes you want to experience it. But once you play it, sometimes it turns out that the game isn't really what you're looking for.

Over the years I can see some games that portray some nice trailers only to end up being disappointed when it comes to the actual game. There are a number of gameplay trailers which looked real sweet and it really made me download the game right away. But some ended up in disappointment because what I saw in the trailer was mostly end game content. And I gave up playing because of the "been there, done that" kind of feel as well.

I can live with the fact that the more promising content comes towards the end game (lets face it, ALL games promises great content in the endgame), but what I couldn't live with was the gameplay, the process of leveling. It sucks when you have to level up alone in an MMORPG. It just kills, really. There aren't much players to hang out with or chat with, and even if there are they'd most likely be minding their own business and just focus on grinding quickly to get to the end game content. The goal is kinda short-lived since the purpose is to level up and hit the end game and look cool and flashy.

Trailers that I have watched and found the game satisfying are those that portray what players should expect in the game. Even if the trailer is CGI based, if the game satisfies what the trailer has set our perspectives into thinking, then its a success. Its even better if the trailer manages to slip in some parts of the actual gameplay, that way the players can see themselves what the game looks like and judge whether it'd be a good game to try out or not. The player won't fooled into playing the game and most likely he'll be around playing the game for a while until he gets bored of the same old crap or because he has no friends (depends, some people can play without making friends, sheesh =S)

Some game trailers which I like the most come from both the "old school" and "new age" games (some are original trailers, some are player-made):

EverQuest II

Dark Age of Camelot

Guild Wars

Cabal Online

Dekaron Online

There are of course, many online game trailers that are worth watching, but these are some that brought me memories of the game as well being an eye candy.

So, to all you avid or casual gamers out there. Do you know exactly what you are looking for when playing an MMORPG? I don't, but I'm getting there.

Cheers.

T3 & CJ7

2008-02-06T23:50:00.000+08:00

So finally, after the initial plan to go and visit Changi Airport Terminal 3 since like December last year, I managed to get a good look around with a couple of friends, after seeing off another one who's flying off to uhm... (wait where was it again... dammit)

Anyway all I have to say is that I regretted not going for the open tour of Terminal 3 back before it was opened. Terminal 3 is shit. No, I'm not kidding.

BUT

If you're going on a holiday and your flight happens to be at Terminal 3, then its the other way round then. Terminal 3 would be a traveller's lounge heaven. There's the FIFA shop, there's the Ferrari shop, and some other omgwtfrly shops around. Too bad I only saw part of it from the viewing mall. Oooh and I saw an A380! It uh... looked kinda big (there wasnt any other aeroplane around to compare its size)

Ok let's skip the Terminal 3 story then since I don't really have much to say about it (except that I'm gonna go find a travel agency that provides destination holidays which requires departing Singapore via Changi Airport Terminal 3)

Now after seeing off the friend of mine the rest of the gang including me decided to go catch a movie. The movie choices sucked but luckily Stephen Chow's CJ7 was in the list. I'm not really a fan of his movies but I've watched a couple made by him and had an entertaining laugh so I thought, yeah why not.

So when we left the theatre, I felt that I didn't waste my dollars. Its worth watching. Stephen Chow has his own antiques which I find quite original and of course he's always having those comical characters - crossdressers, people who digs their noses etc and it ended up with the whole movie theatre cracking up (wonder why they didn't go for their CNY reunion dinners though =x)

Inititally wanted to watch Sweeney Todd but the movie wasn't labelled as being humorous so yeah we skipped it for CJ7 lol. Its definitely much better than Meet The Spartans (I watched it at uhm... well somewhere) which I find completely lame and absolutely ridiculous.

So if you have the time, catch it in the cinemas.

Cheers.

Drow.

w00t and once again the blog entry was left neglected for quite a period of time =x

Well I've been busy with my hands (uhm... not with THAT stuff, but something else) and recently I purchased 3 more novels from the Legend of Drizzt series - Exile & Sojourn marked the completion of the Dark Elf Trilogy and now I've just started on the Icewind Dale Trilogy, with the most recent purchased titled being The Crystal Shard.

Man, when I'm busy reading those I start to neglect everything - schoolwork (ok this one isn't a surprise, I tend to neglect as much of it as possible =x), gaming, going out with friends, movies etc. The story is basically just another fantasy based story and the plots and settings are rather quite similar to any other roleplaying adventures but somehow Drizzt (and company of course, like Belwar, Cackle, Bruenor, Cattie-brie and Wulfgar) has probably become one of the few characters that I really like, if not the only one.

Might be because of his swordplay, or because of the storyline of him struggling in life as some sort of outcast, or because he has a cool pet panther from the astral plane, or maybe just that the whole combination of it all blends it so well. I've actually tried other Forgotten Realm novels before but they got me losing interest in the stories after a couple of chapters - the flow of the storyline coupled with the all very unfamiliarized terms and culture in the fantasy world just kinda puts me off to continue reading further.

So its 4 down, and about uh.. 16 to go I think, hopefully I can read at least 15 by June this year lol.

Aight so I guess I'm gonna go back to reading The Crystal Shard then, hope you guys have a fun and fulfilling week ahead of you.

Cheers.

P.S I'm actually downloading Road Rash (that motorbike game where you can smack the heck out of someone as you race) as I type this - I have no idea why.

Heroes & SuperHeroes

2008-01-10T03:08:00.000+08:00

Coming to theatres... not anytime soon.

So while I'm at it, I might as well show you my *cough* beautiful room that I've painted by my ownself... I'm no Photoshop Paint Bucket Tool so it might not look that neat xD

2007-12-19T07:29:00.000+08:00

Well, fancy reading a friend's blog just to see my name tagged to do some question... thing.

I'm abit pissed at the moment not because of being tagged but because I'm tagged to do the set of questions that I think I've answered before. I had some fun trying to work out the plots and characters of my fan-fics (see previous post) and just when I wanted to take a break, I got tagged.

Fan Ficting

2007-12-18T20:40:00.000+08:00

Just happened to be in the mood to do a fan-fiction of some sort, so I decided to do one based on Granado Espada, since the game is quite horrible in terms of the amount of lore it has xD

Anyway I've just started working on character developments and some basic starter storyline. I have a rough idea on what the story will be about but I haven't really found the proper connection between everything that I'm creating yet.

The story will follow from the point of view of this guy here. His name is Remy. His real family name is unknown, but throughout the story he will be assuming under a few false family names.

So what's his story?
Just like any other Vespanolan, he takes the Pinta and travels to the Port of Coimbra as a new, promising, young pioneer. He is set on a journey to explore the new world of Granado Espada, but unlike other Vespanolans, he decides to travel alone.

As he learns more about the world and the way of life of the citizens of Granado Espada, he discovers plots and secrets about the two political sides - Royalists and Republicans, both of which doesn't favour him at all. He vows to upset the balance of political power of both and reclaim the lands for freedom. Follow his story of truths and lies, loyalties and betrayals as he finds true friends as well as enemies to safekeep Granado Espada from the ravenous political powers.

Like Granado Espada, there will be factions in the story, some started by pioneers while others established by the political sides. One of the factions that play some part in the storyline is The Longshot Legion.

Some members of The Longshot Legion

The legion is mainly comprised of riflemen or better known as Longshots, musketeers that underwent heavy training in the usage of rifles and other secondary firearms. They are tasked as a police force in Granado Espada and they show no favouritism to any political side. There have been rumors speculating that the legion housed the deadliest riflemen of the region.

Longshots at arms.

That's probably all for now, still working on other factions to introduce in and some of the main characters of the story.

And just like that...

2007-12-13T11:15:00.000+08:00

I stopped blogging again... for no reason.

Something interesting came by and left... just like that.

Times like these I wonder about those other active bloggers, and I don't mean the normal people who just blog for the sake of having some journal entry (I hated those kinda blogs that speaks about nothing but their personal everyday mundane life), I mean people who somewhat seem like they blog for a living. The cooler thing is that they blog about something seriously interesting, that catches my attention at times and I read up on it to get more information (and all this while I thought I was only interesting in por-uhh.. nevermind).

Well, I got nothing up at the moment since I'm rotting away at home lol. But I do have a YouTube link that you might enjoy (if you've watched it, its still worth watching again :P) so yeah, just sit back, relax and watch the vid.

And as usual, that's all folks.

Cheers.

An Obsession...

2007-12-03T11:25:00.000+08:00

I finished the first book of the Legend of Drizzt - titled Homeland, sometime ago. Now I'm waiting for money to magically appear somewhere so that I can head down and purchase the 2nd book (as well as the rest of the series).

So in the meantime while I'm waiting to be blessed with a miracle by some unknown entity, I went to start a Dark Elf Warrior in EverQuest. In EverQuest, the Ranger class wasn't made available for the Dark Elves so I guess the next best class nearest to a Ranger would be a Warrior. Dark Elf classes include Cleric, Necromancer, Magician, Wizard, Enchanter, Warrior, Shadow Knight and Rogue.

The first 5 classes mentioned are the caster types, so those are definitely out. Shadow Knights are basically the knight class hence there's no dual wielding involved. Rogues on the other hand, are able to dual wield, however their primary choice of weaponry are piercing, unlike Drizzt, whose weapons are of the slashing type.

I had my warrior twinked out a little bit so you'll see him with bits and pieces of different armor types - plates and chains of assorted colours.

Gonna try to find a full set of chainmail armor and retake the screenshot xD Oh yeah one more thing, cloaks dont show up on the screen so that means no piwafwis for this guy lol.

Wii and the Forgotten Realms

2007-11-27T23:15:00.000+08:00

Wii
First up, I'm selling a Nintendo Wii Entertainment System (which sadly isn't mine but my brother-in-law's). Its the Japanese Version however (tried the system, didn't understand a single shit to start the game I was testing the system out with, so I used my special ub3r gam1ng 5ki11z to navigate my way) so if you're a foreign-linguist noob I suggest it might be better off buying the English version.

It comes with a totally-useless-piece-of-rice-paper Japanese warranty which I have no idea how long it lasts for (they mentioned something about nintendo.co.jp, so I guess you'll know how long the warranty lasts on that site - provided you can read japanese in the first place).

The Wii System includes 2 Wiimotes, 2 Nunchuks, adapters/wires, a 128mb memory card (not sure if its reverse-compatible with GameCube) and 15 assorted games (I recalled 2 games - Biohazard and Ghost Squad, though I can't recall if they're in English or Japanese).

Offer currently stands at $550. Negotiations are open (unless of course, you're asking for a price like $300...)

Oh, and if you're wondering, its a new set.

Niece and nephew not for sale.

15 assorted games included not in picture.

Drizzt Do'Urden
I recently remembered about a friend of mine talking about Drizzt Do'Urden, a legendary character from D&D, during a mini adept raid in EverQuest so today I went to buy one of R.A Salvatore's works since I'm feeling abit empty at the moment (most of my friends were all hinting that I am in need of a girlfriend. Hah, I'm gonna prove them all wrong! *maniacal evil twisted dark wielder of arcane laughter*)

So I went out with a friend of mine who was trying to apply for a part-time job to search for the Forgotten Realms series. Since I'm not really familiar with D&D (but Everquest gameplay and class/race sheets seems to have some form of connection with that of D&D) I decided to start the story of Drizzt right at the beginning, titled Homeland.

The cool thing is at Borders there were no copies for sale, wtf lol. So we headed over to Kino @ Taka and there was just 1 copy on the shelf. I guess I was lucky then *shrugs happily*.

Guess I'll retire from MMORPGs for the meantime and read. Using the force, I sense my future is in peril... financially. Homeland cost me about $20 ($18.14 if you're such a calculative snob) and there's at least 10 books to get, so unless I'm paying as if its a monthly MMO subscription...

Ya I'll still be playing Maplestory for now, don't worry.

Onward to the 4th Legacy

2007-11-26T05:10:00.000+08:00

10 more to 100, 30 more to 4th job advancement.

Just Something to Share

2007-11-22T21:28:00.000+08:00

I stumbled upon something that looked interesting and I thought I oughta just let you guys watch it:

Tagged and Not Loving It

2007-11-19T11:54:00.000+08:00

Left house early for school because had some problems at home. Now I can't play EQ in the meantime while waiting for the lesson which starts in about 2 hours time.

Ah well, since there's nothing much to do, I'll go complete that question thing which I got tagged for since weeks ago lol. I actually hate doing them, but for the sake of not disappointing my good friends...

Well here goes:

The Questionnaire
1. The person who tagged you is:
Yan and Kaka

2. Your relationship with him/her:
Yan: my sweet darling xD
Kaka: my sweet darl-uhh *glances at chopper in hand* okok friend lah friend lah!!

3. 5 Impressions you have of him/her:
Yan: funny, funky, cute (HAHAHAHA... eh but really, cute in a way), great friend/buddy, my mentor for romance LOL
Kaka: friendly, sweet, temperamental at times (I assume that this has something to do with being a girl and your uh.. periods. knuffsaidthxbai =x), quite sporting lah, cool

4. Most memorable thing he/she has done for you:
Yan: treat me out a few times (not cheap cheap things loh!)... sometimes I wonder how lucky will that special girl in his life be... and how broke he will become xD
Kaka: can't recall... prolly cos she's studying in Australia and we've only met in person a couple of times xD

5. Most memorable words he/she said to you:
They both used 4 letter words which I'll always remember...

Yan: FU-uhh.. I mean "ASGM!"
Kaka: FU-ehh nono.. its "BAKA!"

6.
.... right. DID YOU EVEN CHECK THROUGH AFTER CREATING THIS SET OF QUESTIONS? Dumbass.

7. If he/she becomes your lover, things he/she has to improved on will be:
Yan: goodbye kiss every day, hour, minute, second and cherish the kiss as if its the last one that he'll give me rofl
Kaka: I recall Sasa's conversation in Scarlet Rose which goes something like "Kaka has a housewife look" *laff* xD

8. If he/she becomes your enemy, you will:
Yan: Confirm kena captured to become eternal ~~sex~~ ~~bed~~ personal slave
Kaka: RUN DAMN FAR AWAY because of her endless arsenal of throwable items and her sister Petrina (LIKE, ESPECIALLY THE SISTER) =x

9. If he/she becomes your enemy, the reason will be:
Yan: Because I loved another man in my life (eh wait, that's what I've been doing what... hmm...)
Kaka: Maplestory. She trained damn long for Jo's hermit and I just lose all the % gained within seconds and never bothered re-training the lost exp =x (btw Jo if you're reading this I DID TRAIN BACK THE LOST % OKAY?! D:)

10. The most desirable thing you want to do for her/him now is:
Yan: Lie in bed wearing pink lacy underwear and dipping myself in chocolate (omg dis liek, so stim to tink aboutz) xD
Kaka: Tie her in bed and -sees Pet reading- ... UHHH I MEAN Tie her shoelace! I swear I had no intentions of tieing her to the bed! (die liao die liao *prepares to flee*)

11. Your overall impression of her/him is:
Eh baka question number 3 you already ask me about the 5 impressions now you want me give you overall impression?

*casts Ice Comet on the question creator*

12. How do you think people around you will feel about you:

Oh, in person? That one I dunno heehee.

13. The characteristic you love about yourself is:
The"totally-don't-give-a-fuck" attitude. You can come up to me and tell me that the deadline for 5 different projects is tomorrow and I'll still be happily engrossed in the game I'm playing. (Yan must be so proud when he reads this xD)

14. The characteristic you hate about yourself is:
The "totally-don't-give-a-fuck" attitude. Apparently this skill which I expertise in doesn't apply very well in life. :(

15. The most ideal person you want to be is:
Britney Spears!

"Gimme gimme (more),
Gimme (more),
Gimme gimme (MORE!)..."

Ok I was just kidding. Truth is I don't know. I'd prefer to have a little bit of something from everyone.

16. For people that care and like you, say something to them:
*starts singing like Justin Timberlake*

"Cry me a river...
Oh, cry me a river..."
*earth starts to tremble*

.... Ok so maybe I'll just stop here then.

17. Pass this quiz to 10 people that you wish to know how they feel about you.
Not interested to know how they feel bwahahahahah.

No, like really, I'm gonna end the chain here and not let some poor people succumb to the stupidity of the questions created in here =x

Sidenote:
Oh yeah, I didn't go visit T3 yesterday because I fell asleep in the afternoon and then woke up at night, by then some of my friends were already going to book in rofl =x

Oh well, I'll prolly do it sometime this week then during my free days or maybe even wait till its weekend again.

Touching the iPod and Angelina Jol-uh.. nevermind

2007-11-17T23:45:00.000+08:00

So today I went out with a couple of my old buddies and quite a couple of things happened along the way. People always say, "A picture is worth a thousand words" but since I didn't really bother to take any pictures and my camera phone is teh sux0r, so... yeah =x

So for a start, I was entering the Sacred Doorways of Wheelock which was guarded by a burly, strict-looking Raju, Eternal Guardian of Security. The Guardian was looking at me apprehensively, as though I was about to give command to launch an ambush strike and raid the Wheelock Place. (okay, so you have to excuse me for my exaggerating descriptions, I'm abit obsessed with fantasy stuff atm as you can see)

So as I passed the door, there was this poster that displayed the iPod touch, its something like an iPhone but you can do stuff with it and uh... well yeah. Ok fine, I don't really know what it is and if you wanna find out just click here :P

Anyway I'm kinda amazed at the level of technology that we live with, everything seems to be right at the tip of our fingers. Well its good that stuff gets easily done and such, but on the other hand its somewhat turning mankind into lazy assholes =x

Ok anyway enough about that, so my friends and I decided to go watch Beowulf (OMG LIKE RLY?! YA DOOD LIKE RLY I WATCHES TEH BEERWLV IT SO GRATE)

Right.

So uh... well I'd say I got impressed by the movie because the animation looked seriously REAL.

Wait what? You didn't know it was all CGI? Well okay then, now you know.

I was totally enthralled by the last battle in the movie (I'm not spoiling it, you gotta catch it if you wanna know what I mean) The details were really... well, detailed. Although throughout the movie at some parts you can probably tell that some characters are 3D animated and some rendering for the background just doesnt seem somewhat realistic enough, but for most parts it just felt like as though it was being acted out by an actual person.

It has everything what epic medieval style movies have - dragons, men in armor and wielding swords, a battle scene where archers unleash their volley of arrows and (most importantly!!), seducing figures of half naked women making love to the men (sadly it was just a kissing scene unlike the bed scene in 300 =x).

On the other hand, I'm never watching at Lido again if its about medieval action and adventure. Just didn't really like the atmosphere there lol. We went Lido because we've never really watched a movie there before, but now we know - avoid Lido at all costs when watching action movies.

Oh by the way, its my birthday today (goodness I actually forgot about my own birthday until I started getting a flood of smses on my handphone - by flood I mean like only 5 or 6 =x) and I wanna thank everyone who has wished me, be it online or offline. I feel so touched that you guys remembered my birthday, I think I'm gonna stop here and go cry with my little teddy bear on bed... or maybe not.

I received some emails from some websites and I think the coolest one so far is from filefront. It goes something like this:

Message from FileFront
Hello, feralist:

The team at FileFront is writing you to wish you a happy 20th birthday! We hope your day is filled with loved ones and plenty of gaming.

Thanks for using FileFront!

I laughed at the "plenty of gaming" part. But weirdly enough today, I haven't touched any games yet, was outside the whole day hanging out with my friends lol

Anyway, tomorrow I might be going out with some friends and head over to Changi Villag-uh.. Airport I mean to take a tour around the new Terminal 3 for fun.

Might take pictures. MIGHT.

I'm Back! (or going to be at least..)

2007-11-14T10:36:00.000+08:00

Yup, I'm finally back into blogging I guess after taking a break from everything else that's been happening.

I've quitted Granado Espada, decided to back out from HellGate, and now am having plans to not even try out Cabal.

Omg, did I quit gaming for good?!

HAH, NO WAY! GAMING IS MY LIFE! Gaming for me is like marijuana to drug addicts and little boys to Michael Jackson (<- sorry to all MJ fans, I'm just trying to show some form of metaphor here, no offense meant)

But!

Only problem is I tend to be picky about games so I tend to avoid those that have a displeasing type of community of gamers. Even LineageII, the game that I used to loved playing with a couple of friends few years ago (Rev, Lex and Sehlan, if you happen to pass by, this means you!), got me pissed off playing because of the very awkward community of players that I landed myself in (in simpler words, I was like, playing in a full 100% pinoy dominated private server)

So right now, what am I doing?

Enjoying life with my old buddies, been going out and hanging around. And lately I've been busy with my hands (no, its not an activity that involves the hand and the *cough*) Oh, also I'm back to playing EverQuest for the time being. Old School MMORPG ftw. See? I can never live life if I don't play some game. A game will always revolve around my life.

Anyway yeah, that's prolly all I have for now.. oh wait! If you got the time, go watch Muay Thai: Chaiya, its quite a nice movie to watch unless you're expecting alot of action and the usual sex, drugs and violence.

I found the flow of the story quite smooth and nice although some people told me that the movie could do with more scenes of exchanging fists (and raunchy bed scen-uh.. I mean ladybo-uh.. okkaaayyyy nevermind) I have no idea why its rated M18, but since we live in Singapore and the Censorship Board is gay... so yeah.

So uh.. yeah, that's it for now.

Cheers.

(P.S If you noticed, the previous post as well as my title have pictures with "X" on them. Those aren't nudity pics I uploaded that got banned from the file hosting site. Instead, the hosting site that I used to use, freeshare.us, has been shut down for unknown reasons. So I'm gonna forget about reposting whatever pics I used to post up and stick back to imageshack for the newer posts.)

Hot, hot, hot!

2007-08-06T09:28:00.000+08:00

The Way I Are - Timbaland feat Keri Hilson, D.O.E

Well uhm, I just find that Keri Hilson looks hawt in the MV, lol xD

And yeah, that's all I got to say for the video

Its been a while..

2007-07-31T01:25:00.000+08:00

Hmm... I must say I'm kinda starting to find it hard to juggle with alot of stuff at the moment, and its bad too because of all things I tend to neglect, somehow schoolwork is on the top of the list, lol.

Anyway catching up with my assignments and such now, hopefully it'll turn out okay in the end o.o

Anyway as for my favourite game for the time being, I broke my promise about posting screenies when I hit 72 lol (I'm 84 now btw) but uh that doesn't matter, I'll just fill in whatever costumes I got from 72 till the present then:

Level 72, only my wizard changed I guess lol

At 76, the "old school" look somehow seems pretty neat.

Actually I'm not done. Haven't gotten my scout's armor lol

So I guess that's it for now. Have to go back to my assignments lol. Not forgetting GE too :P

What Kind of Chocolate Covered Delight Are You?

2007-07-02T01:21:00.000+08:00

What Kind of Chocolate Covered Delight Are You?

Granado Espada: On The Path to LeBlanc

2007-06-27T21:42:00.000+08:00

Just realised how many costume look changes my characters have gone through lol. This was how my characters looked like when it all started:

How it all started.
I didn't really miss those days grinding up from level 1 up to 52, there were quite a number of quests to be done so basically the levels kinda rise at quite a decent rate. Prolly at the late 40s it started to slow down a little bit because there wasn't much quests left to be done lol.

Once I hit 52, my scout finally got a new set of armor looks (along with the rest):

Level 52 was the level of costume look change for all stock characters.
At 60 my fighter changed costume to the Sunset Stripe Suit. I prefer calling it the Sexy Stripping Suit because at one pose, well.. basically lets just say we get to see her pantyhose thing underneath. And no, I didn't get turned on by that. Really, lol.

One of my buddies in game loved that suit.
Eventually I progressed on, thinking that the next set of full costume character change was at 72. But I was surprised (and glad of course) that new look came as early as level 68:

My Wizard get upskrits while in Levitation. And doesn't my Scout look cool?
So what's next for me? The short term goal is to hit 72 and change my wizard costume to the Albaes set. At the same get that uber Great Sword for my fighter, known as Earthcracker. My long term goal is to wear the LeBlanc costumes (god knows how I'm gonna go raiding those lvl 100 bosses for them lol) as well as wield the awesome Veteran Stances.

Aight once I hit 72 I'll post up new screenies :D

Cheers.

What Have I Been Doing?

2007-06-13T04:17:00.000+08:00

Been not just playing GE, but living GE.

Btw there's an upcoming event @ Zouk this coming Saturday. Its the Granado Espada Raid Party. So those of you who have never played Granado Espada, come down to Zouk and be mesmerized by the baroque setting of Vespanola.

For more details regarding the raid party, visit here for more details.

Hope to see you guys there.

Oh in the meantime, I'm busy with managing a faction, so if you do happen to play Granado Espada in the Carracci server, and in need of a faction to hang out with and learn about GE's game mechanics, don't be shy to drop Lestat a whisper in game (to whisper to someone use the format: "(name) (msg). Just remember to tell me who you are else I wont even bother to reply you, lol.

Our faction site is located here.

Cheers to everyone.

Granado Espada: The Scarlet Rose: Prologue

2007-05-17T03:51:00.000+08:00

They all once said, "Never underestimate the elegance of a woman." No one has ever taken that phrase seriously.

When a lady is fully dressed for a formal occasion, at first glance, one would automatically assume that she is of class. That she is of wealth being. And that she is of the good-mannered person. None would ever think, that she is there, dressed to kill. Dressed, to destroy. Dressed, to annihilate anything that comes in between her and her goal.

In Vespanola, dresses command the authority of power. The more beautiful is the woman, the deadlier is her arcane superiority.

If you ever by chance encounter such a lady of entrancing grace and beauty, just be on your guard. She might be the last thing that you set your eyes upon in the world of Granado Espada.

Her name is Mina Lestat.

A Stir From the Past

2007-05-07T23:31:00.000+08:00

I recalled a question that one of my friend's used to ask me about a year ago during lunch in poly (actually the thought was sparked when Yan gave that comment in Ohana forums, something about the technique that I'll apply in getting a girl's number)

So anyway that pal of mine was asking me if I had tips on how to make the first move on the girl. Being single and not-looking, I had the perfect solution for him.

"Eh dude, you remember that Tokyo Drift movie?"
"Yah, why?" *puzzled*
"Go drift like Han, sure can get her number one!" *grin*

(sound appears to be slower than the video)

"Sial ah, I ask you properly, you give me this kind of reply"
"Hahahaha. You asking from someone who is single what, so having no experience I assumed that technique that Han did would get her attention!" *laugh*

Anyway a question to you girls out there: If a guy were to do something cool and slick like what Han did in the video, would you actually give out your number to him?

Lol, cheers.

Cheers.

Wooo, Gone Images

2007-04-22T09:45:00.000+08:00

Don't panic if the images don't appear on this site.

Apparently Freeshare Free Image Hosting seem to have died or something *shrug* so yeah, it seems what ever picture or screenshot I've ever uploaded via that site will now appear as an empty picture, similar to that if you visit an adult or porn website and your ISP is configured to block out all the images of the uhm... stuff.

Hopefully the technical problem is temporary and the pictures get restored soon, else I'll have to upload via Imageshack from now on :(

Granado Espada Offline Event II

2007-04-21T22:30:00.000+08:00

On Friday, April 20th, 7 young adventurers of the new age rose to a new level of challenge.

These young adventurers dared themselves to do what not many other gamers online have done, or are even willing to do. They came out of their online characters and appeared for the first time, offline in front of each other.

These fated 7 young souls with different abilities and specialties squaded together to accomplish a challenging task that was on hand.

The task was to uhh.. bah, I can't keep this up. i r liek, teh suxz at make stories D:

Well basically, there was an offline event organised by IAH and Hrin, the Community Manager (CM) for IAH decided to look for volunteers from the Granado Espada community of gamers itself to help out with this little event.

What we had to do was to bring a group of kids from Katong Special School over to the Road Safety Park (well, not really literally bring them over, more like just follow the classes around and ensure that the kids dont do naughty or funny stuff) and then ~~we would all form teams and challenge Tokyo Drifting ala go-kart style~~ we help the kids with their routes on the Road Safety Park. We had to guide them in obeying the traffic rules as well as following the code of conduct while in 2 different forms of road users, a driver/cycler or a pedestrian.

It was quite ~~humid and bloody hot~~ fun actually watching the kids complete their route paths according to the type of road user they belong to. There were a couple of funny incidents ~~particularly one that involved 2 guys in a car with a girl and the car was 'rocking'~~ as well as some uhh.. cute memories (no really, some of the kids there were so small, I felt as though I'm roleplaying Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me as Fat Bastard and those kids were like, Little MiniMes.)

Quoted right from the movie -> Fat Bastard: [to Mini Me] I'm bigger than you and higher up the food chain. Get in my belly.

Oh damn, I think I'll go watch all the Austin Powers movies again. Damn I miss Mike Myers' antiques.

Uh, I'll probably post up the pics on the outing when I received them from Hrin lol.
So you guys go have a good day/night ahead, yeah? Well, if you do happen to have some spare time go watch Austin Powers xD
