Touhou! Touhou!

Yeah! A new rail shooting game to play!

Touhou, a rail shooting game, is like most rail shooting games, you control the character, fighting enemies, avoiding shots, and face a boss at the end of the stage. But...

This is DIFFERENT.

Why? This game is also known as "Bullet Hell" because of it's ridiculous amounts of bullets flying all over the screen.

REVIEWS:

Music: 7.5/10. The music ROCKS! Seriously, it's one of the few rail shooting games which actually plays cool music during the gameplay.

LEARNING CURVE: 9/10. It's WAY too easy to learn the controls. Up down left right for moving. Z to shoot and X to bomb. SHIFT to change style (You'll know what it's used for when you play it.). It's WAY too easy.

GRAPHICS: 7/10. Cool graphics. Although not 100% 3D, it's still cute. And you controls cute girls too. XD

Ok ok a short review. Now is my favorite part, PICTURES!

The pics below are taken in EASY mode. (There are four modes in the game, Easy, Medium, Hard and Lunatic)

The light blue circle is the hitbox, when bullets touches it, you dies. This pic is nothing when you're getting used to it.

MORE BULLETS!
Again, MORE BULLETS!

Stars, stars, stars!

OMG countless bullets!

Colourful...

Looks hard? Think again.

Now it's time where the REAL fun starts. (NOTE: The bottom pics are NOT in Easy mode.)

The stars are back, but this time with HUGE lasers.

Again, more stars! But this... is... OMG!

It's the bullet festival! Yeah!

OMG 3 different kind of bullets!

The last pic, and the most bullet-hellish one...

Nice pics, right? Yup, there are THAT many bullets in this game.

The Nightmarish Days of Catholic High Final: The End of The Beginning

Yeah! The final day has come! Yeah! XD

Mathematics Paper 1: Ok ok, this is not so hard, in fact, it's easy in my opinion. Well, I got full mark on this paper during the last exam, hopefully it won't change... (Difficulty: 2.5/10)

Malay Paper 1 (Bahasa Malaysia/Melayu Kertas 1): As usual, this is THE HARDEST PAPER! Yup, a LITTLE bit harder than Visual Art Studies Paper 2. Well, I guessed even MORE questions than Visual Art Studies Paper 1, how's that? (Difficulty: 9/10)

English Paper 1: My signature subject, this is the subject which often helps me score. Well, not so much difference than the second exam... (Difficulty: 1.5/10)

OVERALL: 77/160 OR 4.8/10

Yeah! It's OVER! YEAH! XD

The Nightmarish Days of Catholic High Part 6: Unexpected Questions in a Hard Subject

Alright alright, 2 more exams today, 1 of them didn't went on very well...

Visual Art Studies (Pendidikan Seni Visual) Paper 2: LOL! This... is... the... hardest... subject... ever... OMG this is WAY too hard! The questions are like OMG! It's DRAWING DRAWING DRAWING! The thing I hate to do most in my entire life. Well, it didn't went on very well. Probably I'll get the lowest mark in my class OMG! (Difficulty: 9/10)

Now this one made me calmed...

History (Sejarah): Yup, it's history, the OMG-why-the-heck-is-this-subject-so-hard subject. But this time, it's not THAT hard, easier than I expected, but still made quite a few mistakes here. Again, objective and subjective. (Difficulty: 5.5/10)

Ok, tomorrow's the FINAL DAY OF THE NIGHTMARISH EXAMS! Yeah! XD

The Nightmarish Days of Catholic High Part 5: Said Bye to 2 "Hard" Subjects

I said bye to 2 "hard" subjects, Geography and Living Skills (Kemahiran Hidup).

Alright, I took 3 subjects today, and man, it was very VERY rushing...

Geography: Finally I got rid of this subject, this crazy subject... It was harder than I expected, but I managed to finish it. There are two sections, objective and subjective. I think that objective is a little bit harder than subjective due to some of the "unexpected" questions. (Difficulty: 5.5/10)

Chinese Paper 1: To be honest, it's easier than I expected. Again, 2 sections, objective and subjective (Why does a Paper 1 exam need subjective questions? X_X). The "translating the passage" thing or whatever it's called is pretty hard, my eyes are blurred. (Difficulty: 5.5/10)

Living Skills (Kemahiran Hidup): Why I call this a "hard" subject? Because I took quite a long time to read it, unlike some "easy" ones. It's a LITTLE bit harder than I expected, but still pretty easy. Only objective here, which is good. (Difficulty: 3/10)

Alright, that's all for today, tomorrow I'm gonna take History(Sejarah) and Visual Art Studies Paper 2.

Passed the Examination

I passed the examination.

...

What? What examination? Well, I passed the TAEKWONDO EXAMINATIONS. Yay!~

I am now Black belt 2nd "Poom" or Black 2. Well, this wasn't expected anyway. :D

The examination was held last Sunday at 8.00 a.m. in a school. I did quite well there IMO, except the Board Kicking part. I was supposed to punch 1 board and kick 2 boards which are 0.5 inch, but LOL, strangely, I only got to break 1 board. OMG...

Anyway, it's all over now, hopefully, just HOPEFULLY I can get Black 3 next year. XD

A New Background!

Thanks to Ping Shien for helping me out! :D

My blog's background is now a cool picture of Train Heartnet, or Black Cat. I spent almost 20 minutes "learning" from him and almost 10 minutes choosing a picture.

Hope you all like it!

The Nightmarish Days of Catholic High Part 4: Blessed

Today, I felt that I'm "blessed", because the exams today, is...

Did I say something wrong? It's not called "exams"... It's an EXAM.

Why? Because today, we only took 1 subject! Yay!

The 2nd reason I felt that I'm "blessed" is because, well, just scroll down.

Science Paper 2: Yeah, it's EASIER THAN I THOUGHT! Wow! It's easier than the 2nd exam I think. Hopefully I will get high scores on this one. XD (Difficulty: 3/10)

And today, LOL, our school turned into a night market when almost all of us were sent to the canteen (OMG) while 10 of the students in each class must arrange the chairs and desks for the upcoming PMR. Why it's a night market? Maybe it's worse because everyone was shouting and screaming like crazy! (I think they're drunk LOL)

Anyway, good luck to the students who are taking the upcoming PMR exam!

The Nightmarish Days of Catholic High Part 3: Worse than the Worst

Phew, it's been a week since I updated my blog due to the exams...

Alright, 3 subjects today, but it's gonna end up BAD.

Science Paper 1: Luckily this is pretty easy, probably I'll only get a few incorrect answers here. Not much to say... (Difficulty: 3.5/10)

Now here's the worse of the worst:

Visual Art Studies (Pendidikan Seni Visual): LOL, I'm dead here. It's VERY hard, harder than Malay to be exact. I guessed about 50% of the questions...T_T (Difficulty: 7/10)

Mathematics Paper 2: I underestimated this paper... It's SO hard that I had to "guess" some of the questions eventhough this is subjective. (Difficulty: 6.5/10)

Yup, a short post, because I have to get ready for my upcoming exam!

Perfect World

Yup, I started playing it since yesterday.

It's a very very cool game, why?

(Note: I just copy-pasted the reviews and pictures from RO2JAM)

If you want to see some pics, just click HERE and see the first post.

MY LOUSY REVIEWS:

This game is like most 3D MMORPGs, pictures of it are in the 1st post. There are 3 "races" and 6 classes:

1.) Humans:

a.) Human Warriors: Like most MMORPGs, they use swords, spears... Don't really know much about them but I know that most of their attacks are short-ranged (I think), but have high HP and are quite strong. Like the human mages, they will only get a "huge floating sword" through a quest at lvl 30 which enables them to fly.

b.) Human Mages: Like most MMORPGs, they use wands, staffs... Their casting time is very slow and very hard to train at early levels but they'll be the strongest class in later levels. They have a "simple" healing too. Like the human warriors, they will only get a "huge floating sword" through a quest at lvl 30 which enables them to fly.

2.) Winged:

a.) Elf Archers: Like most MMORPGs, they use bows and arrows. Don't really know much about them... Like the elf priests, they have a pair of wings at lvl 1 which enable them to fly, but it consumes MP, they will get another new pair of wings through a quest at lvl 30 which don't consume MP.

b.) Elf Priests: They are a MUST in parties, without them, the party may die easily. They have a healing skill which casts way faster and are more effective than human mages. They're skills take a long time to cast and they are VERY HARD to train when solo. Like the elf archers, they have a pair of wings at lvl 1 which enable them to fly, but it consumes MP, they will get another new pair of wings through a quest at lvl 30 which don't consume MP.

3.) Beasts:

a.) Werebeasts: Males only. They are called "tankers" because of their good amount of strength, HP and defences. They have 2 forms, human form and beast form. Don't really know much about them too... Like the werefoxes, they'll get something (which I don't know) on a quest during lvl 30 which enables them to fly.

b.) Werefoxes: Females only. They are called "lurers" because of some reason that I don't know (LOL). They have 2 forms, human form and beast form. Don't really know much about them too... Like the werebeasts, they'll get something (which I don't know) on a quest during lvl 30 which enables them to fly.

Here are some general reviews:

SOUND/MUSIC: 8/10
The music is pretty nice and "charming". The sounds are very cool.

GAMEPLAY AND CONTROLS: 7.5/10
Other than the "strange" camera view, the fighting, swimming, flying stuffs are great! I love flying the most. biggrin.gif . You can actually use WASD to move other than the mouse and SPACE BAR to jump, which rocks.

EASINESS: Depends. For me it's 8/10
It depends on how long you play, actually, it's pretty easy to figure out the controls even without looking at the help menu.

FILE SIZE: 6.5/10
It's reasonable, although it's a TOTALLY HUGE 2.2GB, it's worth it, only the long wait might wanna make you explode...

SMOOTHNESS: Depends. For me it's 7.5/10
It depends on your internet connection. If it's fast, then it's gonna be fun. If it's slow, well, it's NOT gonna be fun, so change your internet connection to a faster one then.

FASHION CHOICE: 9/10
o_O 9/10? Don't believe it? See for yourself, even without spending real money, you can choose between tons of faces, hairstyle, body, even nose shape, lip shape and ear! Now that's cool.

IMAGES, BACKGROUND AND PICTURES: 8.5/10
Yeah, it's very very realistic. It even have day and night sequences! Played Cabal or Mo Siang Online? Well, the background is 2 times better than MSO and 1.5 times better than Cabal...

CLASSES AND RACES CHOICE: 8/10
Don't know why I included this here but, 3 races, each race have 2 classes, makes a total of 6 classes! (Actually it's 5, because the Werebeast class is for males only and the Werefoxes class is for females only.) Yeah, cool classes. I actually had to think for 3 hours whether to choose Human Mage or Elf Priest. (LOL).

OVERALL: 7.9/10 --> 8/10

It's a cool game, try it out! XD
