The Post of ULTIMATE RANDOMNESSz

Surprisingly, I felt kinda bored after the exams. It's like; my holidays schedule consists of like, 90% playing. (No, I'm not kidding, seriously, *slaps*)

Here's my holidays schedule (only applies when I have no ongoing activities or tuitions)

9.00am- Wake up, play.
10.00am- Take a bath, play.
11.00am- Play (again).
12pm- Play (YESH, again).
1pm- Lunch
2pm- Play (Damn I'm bored already).
3pm- Play
4pm- What else?
5pm- Play.
6pm- PLAY. (I'm getting tired of this).
7pm- Dinner
8pm- .yalP
9pm- ... (Hint: The answer is PLAY)
10pm- Sleep.

YESH, THIS IS MY HOLIDAY SCHEDULE. No, don't mistake me, I hate studying, but too much playing is kinda boring as well, seeing the same characters everyday killing the same monsters (MMORPGs), fighting a boss I can't defeat for the 100th time (Console Games), aiming my P90 and planting my opponent's body with bullets (MMOFPS), it's boring, literally.

Here's my own "survey" on "games" and "stuffs related to it". (Nothing else to do now lol)

Phew, finally killed some of my boredom by writing this lame post. Tada~

TOUHOU (part 2)

Since the last Touhou post (about a few months ago) didn't impress some, this time I'm going to explain about the game "Touhou", in a more detailed way.

CLICK HERE FOR INFO.

Touhou is a game created by a one-man game developer named Team Shanghai Alice. His name is ZUN. Yes, he's the main programmer, scriptwriter, graphic artist, and music composer of the game, no kidding. This game is proven to be the most drastic "bullet hell" game ever made, and until now, there are 10 Touhou games including 2 fighting games and one spin-off.

Yes, bullet hell. It ain't the shooter ya always play. Normal shooters won't have more than a hundred bullets on a screen at a time, but in Touhou, there are 200. LOL.

PICTURE TIME. (they are different from the past post rawr)

NOTE: Everything or anything which has different colours than the background are BULLETS. Character is marked with a GREEN box. Bullets cannot touch the small red dot (hitbox) of the character. Every pictures below are from the hardest mode in the game, so don't be afraid, easy mode is just EASY. Last Word is a boss's finisher move.

And this is just the bullets of a normal enemy in the hardest (lunatic) mode.

Final stage, yet it's just 2 enemies but the bullets are more than 200. =.=

Sakuya Izayoi's Last Word- Deflation World. YESH, THOSE ARE KNIVES, HAPPY?
Eirin Yagokoro's Last Word- Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web. Spider webs prove to be dangerous sometimes, especially in bullet hell games.
Reisen Udongein Inaba's Last Word- Lunatic Red Eyes. And she's just a moon rabbit who can drive people insane and blablabla.
Alice Margatroid's Last Word- The Phantom of the Grand Guignol- The combination of a girl and her 8 dolls. Beautiful eh?
Tewi Inaba's Last Word- Ancient Duper. The finisher of yet another bunny, and boy those bullets are just FAST.
Yukari Yakumo's Last Word- Profound Danmaku Bounded Field -Phantasm, Foam and Shadow (Part 1). Long name, long spell (you have to survive for 90 seconds!) and also the hardest spell on Imperishable Night.
Yukari Yakumo's Last Word- Profound Danmaku Bounded Field -Phantasm, Foam and Shadow (Part 2). Second part of this hell. Yes, all of the red, blue and purple "cards" are bullets, yes, they form a pattern.
Yukari Yakumo's Last Word- Profound Danmaku Bounded Field -Phantasm, Foam and Shadow (Part 3)- The final 15 seconds of this hell. Imagine guiding your character's hitbox past all of the narrow-spaced bullets, WITHOUT GETTING HIT.
Some Perfect Cherry Blossom pics. (PCB is the hardest Touhou game available, taken from TouhouWiki)

GAWD, this is not even a spell, it's just a boss's normal attack, I mean it, NORMAL ATTACK.

Yukari Yakumo- Bounded Field "Boundary of Life and Death". Mind counting how many TYPES of bullets there are?
Yes, now it's time for TEH ULTIMATE REVIEWS. D:

*Drum rolls*

Gameplay value: 8/10
It solely depends whether or not you are interested in shooters at the first place. But it's no harm trying even if you HATE shooters very much that you prefer bashing your head against the wall than shooters, since I don't really call this a "shooter".

Replay value: 9/10
Which shooter doesn't have a good replay value? With so many bosses and some OMGWTHBBQ-ing bullets, replaying is a must.

Storyline: 9.5/10
Each Touhou game (7 altogether) has a different storyline with different girls introduced (Yes, everyone, the protagonist and antagonist are girls). Plus, these characters are just memorable. (hugs Reisen)

Sound: 9/10
MOST shooter's music are just repetitive, but this isn't. Seriously, these musics actually represents what stage/boss you're in/fighting. And ZUN is the only one making it, yes, all 100+ musics, cheers!

Learning Curve: 7.5/10
Yes, every Touhou game has different power-ups, score systems and sometime penalties. You need to get used to it when you play, or else you might just crash into a bullet. But once you mastered it, it won't be the slightest confusing, seriously.

Overall: 8.5/10
YOU LOVEz SHOOTERS? YOU MUSTz TRY.

To get it, for CHS-ians, just call/MSN me and I'll give you the game stored in a thumbdrive. For my online pals, just MSN me and I'll give you the link, since posting the link here isn't a smart decision.

YAY, just YAY.

YAY.

Yup, just one word to fully describe today's mood. I MIGHT not be doing well in the exams, but who isn't at least "a little" relieved that hell hath ended its fury. :D

So, what I'm gonna do now, you may ask...

1.) Complete God of War 2. (OMGWTHBBQ I HAVEN'T DONE SO AFTER KEEPING THE CD FOR 2 YEARS.)
2.) Pass Touhou 8: Imperishable Night on Normal. (Yup, I couldn't pass it before)
3.) Pass Raining Blood on Hard on Guitar Hero III. (Damn it's hard)
4.) Download Dragonica, Combat Arms, Sword of the New World (Grando Espada) and Warriors of the 3 Kingdoms.
5.) BUY DISSIDIA: FINAL FANTASY rawr.

Short post, will post more after I completed the above "tasks". :D

Exam Madness 2009

Somehow this upcoming exam is really making me mad. D:

Today is arguably the LAST actual holiday before the exam starts. And yet, I still hadn't enough confidence yet to score at least (YESH, AT LEAST) top 20 in the class... *Bangswallahundredandonetimes*

Although I studied and hopefully, mastered most of the subjects (Note the word HOPEFULLY), other than Sejarah (History) and Geography of course, it's always hard to actually relax during the countdown for the final exam, which is TUESDAY, 2 days from now. D=>

This is probably one of the VERY, VERY few times I actually got nervous about an exam I took for almost 7 years. Nervous... Nervous... Ne...r...vo...us... *Jumpsofthegrandcanyon*

Alright, enough posting for now. Yeah, my blog is kinda dead. Hopefully it'll be revived after the exams. See ya!

No, My Blog Isn't Dead

As the title says. lol

How long was it since I last posted? About a month ago?
Yesterday's Independence Day was a little, quiet I guess. I didn't watch the 40-minute parade and I didn't watch the fireworks. D=

Alright, main topic, about last Sunday's gathering. It was rather fun to be exact. Our destination was Sunway Pyramid and the gathering time was 12pm. But we started at 12.20 due to you-know-why.

Alright, there were 5 people going, ME, Ivan, Jia Yuen, Shi Ken and Ting Jie. First of all, we went to the usually-crowded cinema to buy some tickets for the movie G.I. Joe (yes, we haven't watched it yet), and guess what? It was just, EMPTY. Seriously, we only waited about 30 seconds and yeah, I'll let this "drama" tell the story.

-----

*All 5 of us went in front of the counter*

Jia Yuen: Um, 5 tickets for the movie G.I. Joe please?
Counter: 5 tickets for G.I. Joe right?

*Counter clicked random stuffs on the computer until the seating plan was revealed*

Counter: We only have these 5 seats which are near together. 4 in front and 1 in the back (somewhat like a horizontal L shape). Is it okay?

*Jia Yuen turned his head and talked with us*

Jia Yuen: 这个位置OK吗？ (Is this place ok?)
Ivan: 我不管的，你们选啦！(I don't care, you guys choose!)
ME: Aiya, 有没有太前? 我平时坐后面的! (Is it too in the front? I usually sit in the back!)
Ting Jie: 谁要坐后面? (Who want to sit in the back?)
Jia Yuen: 我坐拉! ( I will sit.)
Shi Ken: 快一点啦! 等一下还要吃午餐啦! (Faster! Later we need to have lunch!)
ME: 真的可以吗? (Are you really sure you want to sit there?)

*We continued discussing for about 20 seconds*

Jia Yuen: Aiya, 这个位置可以拉! 不要再讲了!

*Jia Yuen turned his head to the counter*

Jia Yuen: Ok la! We choose this place!

*After we paid the money and get the tickets, we left*

AND SO, we spent nearly 2 minutes of our lifetime doing something so useless like that. D:

We went to the arcade. As usual, I spent RM10 trying to boost up my THOTD4 (The House of the Dead 4) skills, but always dies in the end of the 3rd stage. Later, I tried out Dance Dance Revolution FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. Hey, it was pretty fun, although I just look awkward. With some help from my past O2jamming skills and Guitar Hero skills, I did not had any problem with the quick notes (I only had problems with my foot, since feet were used to play). After that, I watched them race (which I am not really interested in). We spent about RM50 in total there. (Alright, that was too much.)

Later, we went to A&W to eat. Nothing much happened here, so I'll skip this part.

After putting on our masks, we went to the cinema to watch the movie. I can say the movie was cool, very exiting for those who like gadgets and robotic stuffs.

Again, for the don't-know-how-many time, we went to my house (why is it my house all the time?) to play after the movie. Nothing much happened, again...

...And they went home at 6.30pm.

This isn't a long post IMO, but at least it proved that my blog ISN'T dead right? :D

Taekwondo WTF 1-Day School Camp

Meh, some of you might knew already, but still MEH. D:

Well, the camp was held on Saturday, but because of yesterday's gathering (yes, the same old thing again), I'll only post about it today. D=

After the Taekwondo lessons (from 9 ~ 11am), we ate lunch (Fried Mee Hoon lol), changed our clothes, and start playing. (Yeah, the camp wasn't really about Taekwondo after all lol)

First off, all of us was splitted into 7 groups which I-forgot-what-their-names-are. Our group's name is "Juniors" LOL. The first "game" was what-I-called "Straw and Rubber Band Game". We tried to balance the rubber band (through our mouths) and walk to the finish line, while doing some stunts (starjumps, frog jumps, 360 degree spins) without making the rubber band fall. When we reached the finish line, we have to return back to the starting line, pass the rubber band to the next person (again, without the help of our hands) and the game continues, until all 4 had finished. We lost (badly) in that game, LOL. D:

The next game is the station game. It's kinda like "The Amazing Race" where you seached around the school for "stations", complete the task they give you, and proceed to find all 10 stations. Trust me, I'm not gonna post about this part, as it's just VERY long. Unless you want to scroll down about 600 words, lol. We won 3rd place in this game. (yay)

The following game is the Treasure Hunt. Papers (Yup, papers, ordinary ones) were scattered around the school, each MAY or MAY NOT contain points (100, 150, 250, 500). The team which gather the most points win. Due to the fact that I was having a mild headache (thanks to the "hair-washing game" from the station game), I kinda walked slowly, I mean VERY slowly. However walking slowly helps me earn 750 points in the process. :D

And after the 1 1/2 hour hunt, our team emerged as the 2nd runner-up, thanks to one of our teammates who gathered a total of 1850 points (LOL). Yeah, it was pretty fun.

The last "game" was kinda unexpected- Water Splashing. Supposedly our goal is to make the opponent's bottles fall, but yeah, we all end up just splashing water (using balloons) onto each other. Childish? Nope, it was fun. Too bad I need to change my clothes, again. D=

Before the camp ended, we had a "Charcoal + Red Paint + Petroleum + Coca-Cola" Barbecue. Originally we thought the charcoal was enough, but it didn't light up, thus one of the guys added Red Paint (Highly Flammable) to the charcoal. Yay, it lighted up... For a minute. Thus, one of the guys went to the nearby petrol station to buy a Petronas petroleum bottle. And after pouring some "very-highly-flammable" petroleum into it, the fire burst out, yet again, for a minute. Not only that, it burned someone's hand (and almost killed him!). Finally, some guys added Coca-Cola for the sake of nothingness. (Seriously, was he THAT retarded?)

I ended up eating nothing, as the charcoal wasn't heated enough to produce enough fire. But still, we had fun. :D

Alright, enough for today, probably will be joining even more camps next time. See ya~

They Say that Teenagers Scare the Living **** out of Me

It's been a VERY VERY VERY long while since I updated this blog, eh?


I guess that most of you had heard of this song, Teenagers, by My Chemical Romance (again).

And yup, the first song of my Mixpod is this, hah.

Teenagers, well, I think, it's a pretty good song, it gives teenagers some "advice" (in a non-direct way), see the lyrics to understand, lol.

The music video is, well, obviously about teenagers making mishaps like gun violence, drugs, break-ins, etc. See THIS link for more info about the MV.

In my opinion, this song never gets boring, serious here. It's a near-perfect mix of some country rock and alternative rock, which people usually never expect it from MCR. (They're a emo / pop punk band, according to Wikipedia)

LYRICS (a MUST read eventhough you don't like the song, IMO it's a good lyrics) (Credits to elyrics.net)

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They say that teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
We'll make them pay for the things that they did

They say that teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
Ohh yeah!

They say that teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
All together now!

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
------------------------------------------

Yeah, I know, "shit" was censored in some versions of the video, same goes to "kill" and "murder".

Try listening it from my MixPod, NOW, you won't regret it, eventhough you're NOT a rock fan.

Alright, enough for today. Bye~ :D
