Of the Fathers of the Fallen. Believe in 117

I bought Halo 3 today! And after school, i played it quickly, ended it quickly. The story was astouding as usual, though i hoped that the rumours of Master Chief, aka Spartan 117, aka John 117, aka John, aka ‘The Demon’, would die would be false…. well, there is no confirmation of his death, but the overall assumption is that he did. The arbitor and the elites are still alive and kicking by the end. Well, everything for them seems to be working out fine. At the memorial, there are pictures of the fallen, including johnson (at least he died with dignity and blew that piece of tin can a new one, you fought well, soldier.) and Miranda Keyes (is it in the family line to just die? Her death was… slightly silly. But she was a brave and smart commander. Rest well) and Master Chief has no picture, so someone just scratched ‘117′ onto the memorial…. makes you wonder, huh?

Anyway, gravemind is toast, and so everyone is happy. The prophets are dead, the flood are most likely wiped out, and everything is back to normal… Since the flood are gone (they never actually said that, but since gravemind is dead, we assume they are now back to stupid slugs without a brain) the shelter that was locked down, trapping the other Spartans and the good old Doctor (from the novel, ‘Ghosts of Onyx’) would be released, and find that the war is over? I think not… they never said anything about what happens to the rest of the covenent. Sure, the prophets are dead, but who knows whether the brutes are all dead? What would happen if there was a (though extremely unlikely to happen, given their stupidity) grunt revolution? Well, since the series is over, it is now up to the fan-fic writers to get new ideas flowing. I would like to think that Master Chief isn’t dead yet. Maybe resting in some old cottage somewhere…. like real.

Ben didn’t believe i could finish the game in one day, i did. I also bought a new guilty gear game, and the last volume of .hack//G.U in english.  I thought it would take a longer time to get that out, but nevermind.

I found out that all of the people in my jap culture group are all of the same age as me… cool.

I’m going t have steamboat on thurs to celebrate the mooncake festival. A bit late, but still nice. I invited all of the singaporeans to come over, but i’m not too sure on the steamboat, since oriental is still closed, i don’t have much choice in ingredients.

Nobody move, i dropped my brain somewhere (I saw Jesus on a bike)

What a day, and what a wait for the next post. Amazing. Just came back from watching Pirates 3 The world’s end…. Well, have to say, humor is still going mighty strong, battle scenes are also great. Storyline? Not bad. Well, it was sort of…. expected, in many ways.

So me and Long finished school, with how Calgary is facing a strange summer snow storm with 15 cm of snow, and also how Freud hated people going after his own beliefs, even if he encourages free association…. bah, stupid bugger.

Anyway, so me and long went to watch pirates. Loved it to the end. Oh yes, if you read this and haven’t gone to watch the movie, please do so immediately, and don’t forget to stay behind after the credits. Nice little surprise. Maybe not, but still, interesting.

When we bought the tickets for the 8:00 show, the lady gave us the 8:30 one, well, not that i care…. all the hardcore cosplay freaks are all in the 8:00 show anywho… so me and long went on our merry way, to eat dinner. Mind you, we bought tickets for that show, at 6:30. yes, 2hrs before hand, and we weren’t the first ones in line. There were plenty of people also going in to watch the show before us. So we went for dinner, hoping seats won’t be taken. We went to burger king, i did the dumb scratch and win thingy. Choose either ‘good’ spidey, or ‘bad’ spidey. I chose good for some dumb reason and lost. As to further my depressed state, i scratched off the other side, only to find that i could have won….. free onion rings…. oh joy….

So anyway, as we ate, we noticed a dude on a bike…. this dude…. was Jesus…. or at least he looked like one of those pictures you see everywhere of Jesus. Strange though, wearing a white loose long-sleeved shirt, like how Jesus would wear, and…. shorts? ok…. also with a black utility pouch…. from the back view, he looks like Qui Gon Jin…. i’m not sure how to spell that name…. Obi won’s teacher…. one or won…. whatever. Oh yeah, it was a nice bike too.

How goody…. not many games are coming out for summer… some rpg games, but not much. I finished .hack//G.U vol2 within three days. I could have done it in two. Still, i finished it and now hunger for the last vol, which already came out in japanese, but is still unannounced in English…. fuckers. Since i have a jap ps2 now, i just feel like buying all three vols off ebay and just playing them. I understand enough jap to get me through.

Speaking of ebay, and .hack….. i was looking for .hack//fragment. It is the legendary…. REAL ONLINE .HACK GAME!!! I MEAN IT! Named after the beta test within the story of the .hack universe, .hack//Fragment allows you to play online with a bunch of friends, and you can create your own server to allow friends to join you to play. It also comes with an offline mode…. but alas…. character creation mode is quite limited, and they no longer sell it. The official server is closed, and i can’t get it. I tried looking for it on ebay, but no luck. Another thing on ebay i’ve been looking for, is the elusive ‘Shining Tears’. The most elusive of all the shining games i’ve seen, this one has evaded by grasp when i could have gotten it easily…. but, i guess my will to not buy it made me regret strongly.

Still, i can order it on ebay, i’ll just wait for next month, then i’ll order it. Sure…. i can wait that long, as long as there are sellers on ebay, that is.

I’ve started on .hack fic, even if i can’t finish anything else….. crap.

The immoral seats of power

The news of the viginia tech incident shocked the world. Certainly, it shocked me, half that is. I knew that shootings like these were common in America, but for the gunman to be a South Korean. It makes it hard for asians of any country to walk around. With eyes bearing down upon us like untrusting hawks. We must remember, that this is the first internation incident, whereas all of the previous cases were all committed by white people. Yet black people are still seen as more violent. For all those people who know distrust asians, and even to asians who distrust south koreans, let me say this. YOU ARE ALL MORONS. What does it matter to the rest of asia that one asian who went into a violent society went around shooting people? How does this one kid link to the rest of the world? HE IS JUST ONE KID. If you think you can conjecture what the entire asia is like from just one person, you must be blind. Everyone is different. Everyone is unique, no two people are the same, even if they are twins. Personalities, experiences, culture, thoughts, feelings, character, creativity, imagination and curiousity. All of these must be added into the pot before you can create a human being. Without one, you are nothing. But everyone has one, and none of them are the same. So get your head out of the clouds and slap yourself, because welcome to real life. No other country, not even South Korea, would have these sort of incidents. Europe and other countries, sure, but not as much as America. Wonder why….

Weak, that is all i can describe those people who went on mad rampages to kill. Unable to tolerate society and what is considered ‘normal’. Unable to hold within them the anger and hatred. Their jars were filled to the brim, but they did not know how to contain it. They are weak minded, that is all.

You cannot really blame it on anything external, like games and music. Why? Because there are thousands, maybe millions of kids who are in the exact same position, yet they never snap. So why? Psychologists are aiming at ‘copycat’ sort of syndrome. I cannot agree to that. Something is amiss. When i saw the ‘manifesto’ of that kid, i was wondering, who was he? No, not his name, but what was within his eyes. Empty, expressionless, like a hollow shell made into a puppet.

I do not believe that human beings are so weak as to be unable to control themselves for this sort of situation. It may sound unthinkable, but it is possible that these kids were controlled. Not by games or music or by following other shootings. No. There is something wrong, and amiss. It feels as though he is a scapegoat for something else. When all eyes are drawn to him, something should be happening.

Ma told me last night. If i keep playing games, it will cost me my grades. I know that. In fact, i know more than she does. But she did not realize, that everything we do, is a cause an effect case. There is no such thing as a free thing. When you do something, it comes at the expense of something else, and it will also produce another thing. The universal price for everything? Time. We pay time for everything we do. Like tiny pennies, it may be sufficient for some things we do, whereas others, time must be paid with something, to get something else. Of course, the price for life, is death. But is it possible to skip the payment and get off it? Because, though we were given life, we were also given hardships to live through. I believe we have long paid our dues.

What is man’s greatest enemy? Simple, man himself. No one else. We are our own creators, and our own destroyers. “God is not a handyman to answer the calls of the weak.” “God was created for the weak” “The strong has no need for God.” These lines came from a comic i read. For all religious people, you may complain and object, i won’t say anything. But if you step back from your belief for a moment, these are true. Who seeks ‘God’ the most? Those in times of need. The weak. The strong have no need for ‘God’, because they know they have challenges ahead of them and cannot focus as much. In times of despair, we tend to blame almost everything. I saw on the news, some students at VT were calling the shooter a ‘monster’. I did not make it up. They did call him that. It makes me wonder, why must people still do this? He is no monster, he is a human being. People can then ask, how can you call a person who mindlessly shoots people a human being? How? Easy, just say it. Humans are strong and yet frail. Did you know that everyone is capable of just shooting everyone and everything else around them? Yes, you may say, ‘i wouldn’t do that’, but i know. I studied psychology, and i know that all humans are capable of mass murder. The thing is, what made this person cross the threshold that humans have placed there. A taboo, as some may say. Because some things make us uneasy, therefore we avoid it, look down at it, hate it. But these are not laws of nature. No, these are laws of humanity. Rules made up by humans and no one else. Like language, also is the work of man.

…. Xuan is no longer around. No, he didn’t die. But he is no longer in control. I’m wizard. And i’ve taken over for quite some time already. He is lost, and i cannot find him. Just hope he hasn’t gone insane yet….

Baring the fangs of the beast within (Frenchfries on the side)

i’ve always wondered, what my future would hold. As i said before, i could once see into my own future, at most by a week, but even so, it was amazing. I knew when things were to going to happen and stuff. And i could see myself in different places. It’s almost like the movie ‘next’, but that movie isn’t out yet. I guess…. even if i could see into my own future, i was still surprised by it. I never knew when it would happen, only knew it would. Sometimes, the timing of things were just too…. weird, so those images had no meaning at the timing of viewing.

Well, one other thing i had, and i actually still have, is the vision of future events in dreams. Premonitions, somewhat…. but only of my future. It is different from the capability of seeing into my future when i’m awake. That strength is gone, long gone, and that one has the capability for me to remember it. For dreams…. i can forget about it the moment i wake up, and when i go through the event, i remember it, like i’m going through constant deja vu…… Scary if you think about it. I take pauses very often because of this…..

I think i knew what gong gong was trying to tell me in my dream some time ago. I had a dream about three months back…. Gong gong was in my dream. He nodded his head to me, as though approving of something. I never knew what it was. Then…. i remembered…. he smiled. I rarely saw Gong gong smile, especially with the more recent memories of him when he was still alive…. he always had a groucy look on him… but then again… he did smile. It was a long time ago…. he did smile to me. But in my dream, it was totally bizzare…. my family trying to revive gong gong…. now that is just going too far. But now i know what he represented in my dream. I realized this after so long, that i blame myself for not noticing it earlier. Really…. i’m so stupid. I am his grandson. I know that. Gong gong…. he was smiling because he was trying to reassure me. He was trying to tell me that it’s all alright. In my time of worry, i could not help but feel like everything was going to end. While gong gong’s intention may not be that, i can’t help but feel that way. Like he was telling me that no matter what road i choose, no matter what choices i make or what happens to me, he was telling me to keep walking on it. During that time, i was carrying a heavy guilt for a lot of things. The guilt that weighed on my shoulders were breaking my mind, and that dream occurred.

Honestly, it just freaked the shit out of me. Seeing gong gong in my dream when i never had anything related to him close to me in so long. But to see the normally groucy looking gong gong smile…. it was nice. Of course i did not know what to make of it, and only three months after that dream… i came to realization. My life is mine to make. Gong gong walked down his, and so will everyone else. There is no right or wrong answer to everything. There isn’t just one answer to every question, but multiple. Like how everyone has more than one face to them. Everything has more than one face to them, be it the forces of nature, which can nuture and nurish, or destroy and obliderate, or the powers from above (which i don’t really believe in them). So in the end, this is my road. This is my life, my world. Everyone will scorn me and look down on me, but i will not care. There is no such thing as ‘normal’. There is only the way we each live our lives.

Anyway, onto other matters. Looks like my mom has just left the airport and is en route here. While i do not wish her harm on the way, or at anytime, there is a part of me…. that wishes that everything would just disappear. No worries, no pain. Just the silence of solitude. But many things has happened. And i have come to realize something. Solitude may be an answer, but it should be my answer. Humans were born with the yearn to be in company of others. A life of solitude should not exist, it must not exist. But yet it does, as does the word still lives. And words, never die.

My path is darkened now. And the chains of fate will once more wrap itself around me. I know what is to become of me. And just as my own chains are binding me in, the chains that kept the horror of horrors within me is starting to break. It is angry,and it is ready to kill. This creature…. is worse than anything i have let out before. He is the one thing that i remember receiving from that pact i made so long ago. A pact made by a foolish young boy, with something he could not even understand. And even now, he cannot understand. I do have any memories of who i did it with, but i know that that was the day the beast was chained within me. Anger, hatred, irritation, agitation, frustration, jealousy…. these which fuel him, and guilt with regret, that brings him closer to being free…. understand, that this is not simply a person’s mental mind snapping at stress. This is much more than that. Once he is released, i will no longer have any control. And i do not know when that is. At times, he is so close to being free that i feel like i’m no longer able control myself. And at other times, he leaves no trace for sometime that i forget he exists in the first place. Now, i must steel myself for the inevitable.

Well, this might be the last post that i will make in Canada. There will be another time, but as i’ve known before, my future, is dark as ever. Though i know not to believe the omens of cards too much, it is clear that the cards have acted like a catalyst for the event to occur. Well, let’s just hope that i don’t get skinned for my failures. …. May i will get skinned… either way.

Chicken hearts are NOT hearty chickens, Chicken fingers, however, are to be fingered at chickens

Have you ever tried looking for recipies through yahoo for chicken hearts? Well don’t, you’ll find the most useless pieces of information you’ll everlook at.

Some useless piece of information. Whenever you need to see your philosophy prof for something urgent, he is always never there. Same goes for his TA. Also MIA.

Did you know that false memories are very common? You can easily manipulate a person into thinking that a certain memory exist, and they can believe it till their last breath. They’ll even swear it true. Inplanting false memories, that is so cool. That is why i love psyc.

False memories can be inplanted in many ways. One very common way, done by some researchers, is that you tell the person that such an even occured to them in their past. Of course, it must be rather familiar to them, or possible. After reminding them repeatedly for three or more sessions, the subjects themselves would tell the story themselves, with a bit of their own flair dropped in.

Young kiddies are even better. You can inplant a completely ridiculous event in them, and they’ll believe it. Gullible little critters. This is no exception to anyone, even psyc students ourselves, are weak to such a mind bending power. Bow down to psychology!

Well, another way, is the way phrase questions. In law, it is called, “leading the witness”. For example, you have a bunch of people who witnessed a collision. You ask them to estimate the speeds of the cars involved. The way you phrase it, can dramatically alter their answers. Example, “How fast were the cars going when they hit with one another?” would result in a much much lower estimation than “How fast were the cars going when they smashed into one another?”. “Collided” would also produce different results.

There’s this lady, who is hired for most court cases to tell jurors and basically everyone in the court that recovered memories from a witness has a small percentage to be accurate. Even if the person is totally confident in their memory, they are wrong, never trust a person who uses that excuse. They suck. Anyway, she gets paid A LOT, and she also recieves death threats. For whatever reasons, i don’t know. But we can always guess.
There are many cases of false eye-witnesses identifying the wrong person, and that innocent person gets jailed for a crime he or she did not commit. But of course, with unorthadox and unethical interrogation methods, you can make that person believe that they commited the crime. Cool, huh? You can even make up a case, psycho the person to be the criminal, and psycho witnesses as well to believe it. Then, poof! You have a completely false case, and no one will believe that it is false!

There was a case, where a women was raped. She identified a guy to be her assailant, and she was totally confident about her judgement. About two years after that, another dude shows up, and claims he was the one who raped the girl. The two men were brought forward before the girl. She still claimed the first man to be her attacker, and claimed she never saw the second man in her entire life. ELEVEN years AFTER the incident, DNA testing proved the first man innocent, and the second man guilty. Why did it take so long? It takes that long for it to be approved bythe court of law…. dumb shits. The girl, was devastated. She sent an innocent man to jail for ELEVEN years! And she was so sure her memory was right, too bad it wasn’t. The guy was paid $5000 as compensation. That isn’t enough!

Anyway, another thing is the death penalty. They say that with the death penalty, there is a decrease in crime. Actually, there isn’t a difference with or without. They say that people should be killed as life in prison would cost more. Actually, executing a person is more expensive. To execute a guy, you must go through tons and TONS of appeals, which cost a bomb. So that is why singapore chooses hanging. Since it already cost so much just to get the guy to die, choose the cheapest way to kill him. Somewhere, don’t know where exactly, but i heard that prison actually charges people who have been innocently accused and put in jailed, after that released. Why? For food and lodgings….. er…… okay….

I don’t like the death penalty, and think it is just stupid. But then again, i am simply the watcher. The silent observer. The guardian of my own world. I have no true strength to change things around me. I hardly have enough to change my own life. It is more like watching a movie, than me controlling my own body. Words that come out are not mine, actions that are done were never meant to be done. So all i can do…. is watch.

It is tempting to roll the bomb on the dance floor

Do you know the meaning of “All’s well ends well”? Well, that certainly doesn’t apply to me at all.

Nothing that is well for me would end well. One way or another, it would all turn into one horrible nightmare.

Lots of things happened since the last time i posted. Yes, lots. First, i didn’t managed to watch 300. Long was basically lazy, and i… well, let’s just say i’m not too inclined to watch movies by myself. So we didn’t watch this movie which Long himself could not stop ranting about since he first saw the trailer. Well, i already know the story, so who cares.

I’m very close to finishing the game “Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion”. Really a fun game. Very open, in the way which it allows you almost complete freedom. Almost. Some restrictions may apply. Well, for one thing, the graphics are beautiful. Backed by the 360 engine, i believe it to be on par with “Gears of War”…. wait, hold that thought…. maybe not as good in graphics, but still, you get the basic idea of how good it already is.

So as much as i play, i begin to formulate a story…. i just can’t help myself. So let’s set the story 200 yrs after the game. 200 because i like the number, actually i like 250, but that is rather random. So 200 yrs after the game, 5 young adventurers are beginning their tale. The main one, i think i would place a female imperial in that position… not sure. Anyway, so i’ve placed my own game character inside, but of course, to live through 200 yrs in the game can only mean on of two things. One, to be over-blessed, over flowing with blessings from the Daedric gods that she becomes immortal, OR…. she has become a vampire. I would choose the latter. Makes it more interesting.

Okay, so here is the main idea. It isn’t really a spoiler for those interested to read, because i may extend upon the idea. So my character lived for 200 yrs as a vampire. I’ve altered the storyline, to make it that not only 1 person saved the empire. I made it 3. My game character is a Breton, strong in magic and with her bow, but of course, since she has lived for so long, she is basically one bad-ass fighter who excels in all areas. Now, why 3 characters who saved the empire? One is a male Imperial, who is also a vampire, and one that my character has a personal vendetta against, since it was him who turned my character into a vampire. The other is a male wood elf (High elves are too fugly, with their extremely tall ears plastered to their heads and huge foreheads. Dark elves are simply too…. weird). Now, i’m not too sure one what the relationship would be with my main character, maybe she fell in love with the wood-elf and the imperial, being in love with her, killed his former comrade. Okay, okay, maybe that’s too ambitious, but it could work around that idea.

So my character has 6 kids. Wow, yes, i know. It goes in this order, Son, Daughter, Son, Daughter, Son, Daughter. Typical, huh? These kiddies are also immortal, but not vampires. Tricky? Yes, i have to make up some excuse for that… So anyway, the eldest son used to be the champion of the fighter’s guild, then he went off adventuring with the second son. Eldest daughter is the Archmage of the mage’s guild, with the third son being second in charge. Second daughter is the Dark brotherhood’s listener, and the Night-Mother really favors her, much to my character’s annoyance (My character will show extremely tenderness and fondness for her kids. Who wouldn’t?). The second son, who ran off for an adventure with the eldest son, is the new Gray Fox. Finally, the youngest daughter. She is the one closes to my character, since she is the youngest. She sometimes goes out for an adventure with the eldest brother, but she can be basically found within communicating range of my character.

The reason for the five new adventurers, is that my character wants something done that can only be done by those who do not have her blood. That part…. i haven’t thought about it. Well, killing that imperial who made her a vampire is one, but she can dispatch her children, and herself to do that. Maybe he has an army and is far stronger than any of them combined? Wow, talk about cheat. Anyway, one of the main things would be the emergence of new Oblivion gates. Mehrunes Dagon is not happy that he was bested by a flaming dragon that turned into stone, and he has found a way to break the seal cast upon him, and re-open the dark gates.

The other Daedric princes have warned my character, since she was one of the three who closed thousands of gates during her time (exagerration, but in the game, i literally closed every gate i saw, and that is a lot. I’m tired of seeing red already…), and since ( in accordance with the Daedric quests) she is on very good terms with them (maybe not the one with the dog. He wanted me to give up Umbra’s sword. Heck no. That blade gives me a 17 hit damage, which is very high in the game actually since i’ve yet to see a 18 hit weapon or higher, and it even has soul trap upon strike, meaning i don’t have to cast that ridiculous spell by myself before i whack the cahonies out of a troll or whatever i’m hitting). The princes (and princesses) have told my character that though they cannot physically intervene, they will assist in anyway possible. My character will thank them, but tell them to wait to see how well these five adventurers fare.

These five, together with my character’s kiddies, will form a group that will call themselves ‘Gate Hunters’, literally meaning they go out to hunt these Oblivion Gates.

Okay, enough about that fic. I’ve stopped posting my starocean because i lost three whole chapters from my computer. I think i overrode the file with an older version of it…. oops.

Actually, i was thinking of writing a fic on pokemon too… don’t know why, just felt like it.

I’ve just downloaded a new game called “Clannad”. By ‘Key’. They were the ones who did the heart-warming ‘Air’ and equally well done ‘Kanon’. Clannad is promised to contain no H-scenes, making it a warning rate of E-10…. well, it also promises to be equally heart-warming…. people in the forums are going crazy over the news that ‘Clannad’ would be made into a movie and anime series very soon…. next week in fact. Can’t wait. For now, i played about five minutes into it, and i must say, the comedy is already very humorous, and the lines are nicely done. Character designs, though not as lively as Air or Kanon, is still rich in colour and style.

I was surprised to read that one of the storyboard writers for Kanon, made himself a position as a seiryuu in the anime series Kanon, as Kitagawa Jun. I was completely surprised by that. Speaking of seiryuus, i had the voice patch installed for my Clannad, and was surprise to hear not one, but two familiar voices. One is from Gintama’s Shinpachi, and the other is…. not sure, but i’m very sure i heard it before. I think she sounds like Ryofu, from my other game, Koihime Musou. Also, if you watched these two famous animes, you would know that Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny has MANY famous seiryuus, including some from popular rock bands. The same person who did Athrun Zala in the GS series, is also doing Garaa from Naruto. Surprise, surprise. I thought he sounded familiar, and now i know.

Anyway, the weather is getting better. Nothing new. I’m hungry, and just had soup…. soup just can’t fill me up anymore.

I had the school wrap today. Everyone i know who ate it keeps on bugging me to try it. So i did. Ordered an Extreme Wrap…. i think i over stuffed it. Lettuce, cucumbers, black olives, mushrooms, onions, pineapples, chedder cheese, ham, bacon, either chicken or turkey, topped off with BBQ sauce and salt with pepper. Sounds nice at first, then i took my first bite….. shit. I hated it. cucumbers NEVER go with BBQ sauce. The bacon, ham, black olives and lettuce were fine. Next time, if it ever happens, no pineapples, no cucumbers. I think i’ll take the caeser sauce instead….yuck… foul thing….

Defrosting the microwavable bunnies

As usual, i never update frequently. Well, who cares.

The snow is almost all gone. I’ve not gone up the mountains yet. Two seasons without snowboarding…. my snowboard is collecting dust.

Argh…. so boring…. i’m so going to blow up.

Went rollarblading recently at night…. very nice, when no cars are around, then go very fast on the roads… record for one block dash, 39 secs…. i can cut that down by at least 3 secs…..

I’m so hungry…. argh…. i’m feeling terrible, just terrible. Flies are already coming out of their shit holes. Bunnies are coming out of their holes too, just in time for easter =_=”

I downloaded the new Gundam game. “Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Federation Vs. ZAFT II Plus”, such a freaking long name. But i’ve seen the game play, and i REALLY REALLY want to play it. BUT…. as always, i can’t. I’ve got no ps2 emulator that works with it…. so shitty, really.

Another jap game i recently got…. “Koihime Musou”…. basically, it is another japanese telling of “Romance of the three kingdoms”…. A normal high school guy, good at kendo, gets messed up in some weird conspiracy, and gets sent back through time…. ah yes, he meets Kan’u (Guan Yu) at first, then the others…. so you can pretty much tell that he is taking on the role of Ryuubi (Liu Bei)…. Of course, as always, the generals are all girls. Cute girls, i might add…. But yeah, Kan’u is the main girl. Ryofu (Lu Bu), is also cute, and her weapon is so cool looking.

The game has taken many parts of the original story, like Kakouton (Xiao Hao Dun) got an arrow in her eye and she ate the eye…. ew. Anyway, they took many parts from the story, but there is a coupe of difference, besides everyone else being a girl (Harem for the main guy =_=ll). For one, Toutaku (Dong Zhuo), is a rather shy small girl, and she loves her people. So the main guy and his army found out, after they captured and converted Ryofu to their side, which wasn’t hard actually…. Apparently, Ryofu is rather soft spoken in this game, and she loves animals. All it took, was to promise her not to attack her friends (animals), and give her lots of gold. Why gold? Because she wants to buy food for her friends…. oh yeah, she can eat a lot. I mean A LOT. But she is cute. Anyway, so Ryofu helps the main guy understand that there has been some misunderstanding, or that the information the alliance (Formed by Yuan Shao, made up of Cao Cao, Sun Quan [this game wise], Gong sun [something], and Liu Bei… some others may have already been forgotten) obtained was false. Apparently, Ryofu explained that there were some weird people in white clothes, that manipulated the scenes behind Toutaku’s back. What to do? The main guy, being all kind hearted and stuff (He knew the real history, and he was very surprised at the people he saw…. i know, i would be too….), faked Toutaku’s death, and hid her and Ryofu in his palace. Of course, his generals were not too pleased with this at first, only Sonkatsuryo (i think that is how it is spelt…. ah, Zhuge Liang, lah…) was understanding enough. So Toutaku and her friend / advisor were brought in and….. disguised as maids…. er….

So the fight goes on, Bachou (Ma Chao) joins and she is cute too, rather fierce and coarse, but cute. The generals start to join, and soon, the other two kingdoms also join him to fight those white clothed people…. Now, there are three single routes, and one all together route. In all routes, the main guy is sent back to his own world. In the single routes, it would either be Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or Zhuge Liang who follows him back. In the all together route… well, it states itself in name. Yes, all of the people get sent back with him, and you can see all of them in high school uniforms, cute.

Well, gameplay wise, it is interesting. But i’d rather it be more hands-on. The battle system is more like rock-paper-scissors. Two armies with set number of troops (your army always has fewer troops, and sometime to the point of just plain unfairness), and which ever formation you choose, you have to see what formation your enemy chooses, then choose between attack, defend, or archery. Different formations will boost different aspects of your army for that round. Each time you make a decision, you are allowed to change formations…. so yeah, it is like rock-paper-scissors. And you need a hell lot of luck. Because sometimes, your formation would just suck out right. I hate luck styled strategy games…. well, luck is a lot of things….

Oh yeah…. Diao Chan, is a muscular guy in a pink thong and has no hair except for two pigtails by the side of his shiny head with pink ribbons…. muscular gay…. ew…. the main character nearly fainted because of that. Then you get to see that this ‘Diao Chan’, can get mad, with the dark background, glinting evil eyes, etc. But overall, helps you. Just don’t diss the gay.

Tomorrow, we’re going to watch 300…. i got the original 300 spartan movie done in the 1900’s…. that was so lame, but overall, quite accurate telling of history. The remake seems rather…. dramatized…. Well, as long as they don’t show lame stuff like they did in the original. The enemy throws javelins and some even flip in the air =.= The actors had to catch the javelins and pretend it impaled them… omg. You can actually see them catching it and holding it by their side…..

Death eye rays

i know that i haven’t blogged in a while…. why? i’m a guy, and guys tend to be more lazy than girls in doing this kind of stuff….

Anyway…. looks like the new Harry Potter book is coming out…. yes, finally, that woman is doing something. Called Harry Potter and the  Deathly Hallows…. no clue what that means…. i can reserve a copy now, and get it on July 21…. i’m just too lazy to do that….

My laundry got postponed because we ran out of washing detergent…. so lame…. Found a 10 dollar note in the washer, all folded up nicely.

No more snow. Even the twelve inch thick ice that is usually over all of the side walks are finally melting, but now we have twelve inch thick of slush and mud… so gross.

Today, at school, they were having an event, for reducing tuition fees…. how ironic that over the weekend, i received an email concerning the increase of tuition fees for international students. I swear, each time they decrease the fees for local students, they double the international student’s tuition fees. They were giving away free yellow t-shirts and small bottles with that stupid campaign on it. They only approached local students though… so racist.

The kitchen sink and basically the entire apartment, including my desk, the rest of my room is fine, is littered with shit. It makes the microwave look clean. Long FINALLY went to school after two weeks of being absent. Is he trying to die or something? Oh yeah, yesturday, 6th Feburary, Long breaks up with his new GF, so fast, right? Yeah, about a month already….. dumb shit. Wonder whose fault is it? How do i know? That dumb shit Jerry was saying it so loudly yesturday. That prick should just choke and die. But then again, because of his irritating personality, i had confirmed the news, though i had my speculations ever since last week. Jerry, being the idiot as usual, tries to hit of Celine. No clue how Celine is taking this, with Long breaking up with his current GF…. well, who cares, not my problem.
Skipped my last class today because i felt like throwing up…. i needed to lie down…. no place for that in school.  Because yesturday, i didn’t eat dinner, i woke up early to go to 7-11 and bought myself two monterey taquitoes…. no clue how to pronouce them. I finished them, and my apple juice by the time i reached sch. Met a friend on the bus, nice change of pace. Actually, i forgot his name. I bet he doesn’t remember mine either. That dumb Ben from S’pore didn’t realize i had a ponytail…. blind fool.

I finished Lost Planet. Nice game…. but those mechs… especially the last one…. transfomers and gundom combined… omg….

Ok, i really need to lie down now…. i feel sick. Luckily, i have no midterm left this week. I actually thought that my Philosophy midterm was today, but i had it wrong and it was postponed to next week…. my blunder….

Writer’s block all bulldozed over. Now i can continue with my fics…. how nice. Starting up a fic that is relatively similar to Rance VII, but since i don’t think Rance’s character would suit to my fic, i’m changing him. Still, who knew that Uesugi Kenshin could have been a girl? Could have been, not confirmed…. Maybe i’ll start posting my ragnarok fic…. maybe.

Ahh…. Jie, i think i have done well in the great journey of curing you, yes, i think i do.

Can i go get my phD yet? I cured someone, so i think i qualify.

Yes, i made that whole list of things to do, because nothing is better than doing something, isn’t it? I’m not making any sense.

Did you HAVE to link my comment? Well, sure, it is interesting and all, but must people KNOW the intricate workings of my words?! No! I am ashamed!

Ghost is Toast

Wowee, what a way to start a blog, huh? Yup, nothing says it like good old…. something

Today, came out World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. According to EB personal, the lines were packed…. who knows.

I walked into the shop about 12. Wondered about, nothing to look at, walked out, bought lunch, ate lunch and for ONCE! Finished a whole meal from Koya in the foodcourt. Pork and shrimps with mushrooms on rice with teriyaki sauce, yum. To add off, a small bowl of msg filled wonton soup, extra yummy!

So i finished that, wondered back into EB, and talked with the shop clerk. She was the one who sold me loads of games last term, and plus the PS3. The other lady sold me loads of games during the summer. She was there later. So anyway, after talking for a bit, as always, i walked out of the shop, not empty handed. I walked out with a FFXI game, and get this, it is the original, plus the THREE expansion sets, and ONLY FOR $35!! Awesome! Now, the only thing to worry about is the monthly payment…. uh-oh.

Today was very busy. Went to pay bills, went to 7-11 to do that at the atm, but decided not to, all of a sudden, and bought five gaming magazines…. why do i always do that?

So anyway, i went to school with FFXI and five magazines in my bag… it felt heavier…. My prof went on about how we humans are big ego bastards. I only had that class today… phew.

So as i waddled through the snow to the bus stop, oh yeah, it was snowing since morning and stopped in the late afternoon. I saw Ben, the s’pore kid, with some girl. wooo…. Anyway, i met them, and found out that the girl, who looks a little malay, had stayed in s’pore quite some time ago and for about 5 years, before moving to England, and finally here. Quite a troublesome past, if you ask me. And she’s from somewhere near Thailand originally…. what the… So we talked and stuff, went to EB again since Ben wanted Burning Crusade. I walked with the two of them, and also got in line. I was really crazy, sugar high, maybe.

So i found out her name, Holly, or Hollie. Either one. A name from Artermis Fowl…. So anyway, she left before us to catch the bus, and i bought a Burning Crusade as well…. temptation got the better of me…. now, i have to worry about the monthly payment, so for the moment, the two games are just going to sit on my desk and look pretty.

Yes, like this…. Bullet witch is FINALLY coming out in Canada for Xbox360!!! YESH!!! I finally get to play it in Canada! I loved it in Singapore, though the controls were hard to master at first…. sheesh. Oh yeah, Lost planet is also out, got to remember to get it together with Saint’s Row and Call of Duty 3….. Hmm…. So much to do, so little time.
