What I've Achieved So Far...

Its almost the middle of a sem break, so I guess its time to review on what I did on sem break. Several posts earlier, I mentioned a few target which I hoped to achieve, well, sadly, I overestimated myself...so er...yup...

1.) Learn erhu (cant start, no strings, and its in a worst state that when it was found

2.) Some improvements here, but I cant say that I really wrote songs, mostly loops, but getting the hang of using fl studio.

3.) FF 1-9 downloaded. Finished 1,2. Third's graphics sucks, 4th, 5th and 6th are meh...7th played until you meet Aerith, 8th until you defeated Ifrit, 9th havent even touched.

4.) OK...total phail here, mostly given up due to the lack of response....

5.) Phail again, this is like, what, the second post in my hols?? The other one is also dead

6.) Downloaded some of it, but still havent print out, or rather have a printer to print out.

7.) Nope, trying to find time here, so no way Im gonna work

8.) Ah...doing this quite well, especially this few days on the manga part, since we are gonna bid farewell to OneManga soon, I cant find a suitable site to replace OneManga, which has a huge library of mangas and smooth loading, so any recommendations? Anime...not much, I guess I cant bring myself to watch long animes, 12-13 is fine, but 24 is already a big obstacle, and it would seem that I have grown fond of comedy animes and its hard for me to watch serious animes, gets kinda bored after a while...

SOOOOO.....

no bad, I still got half a sem break left, I think I can catch up on a few missing points...

Dante's Inferno (PSP)

This is one hell of a disturbing game. Pun unintended. Seriously, its very disturbing.

Well the story starts with Dante, somehow a Templar instead of a poet, journeying down to hell to save his beloved, Beatrice, from the hands of Lucifer. He descends through the Nine circles of Hell, namely Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and lastly Treachery. Along the way, he defeats King Minos, the judge of the damned, Cleopatra and Antony, his own father Alighiero and his brother-in-law, Francesco. Last but not least is the Great Devil himself, Lucifer, bound in the Chains of Judicea (or something like that) in the very last circle of Treachery. Along the journey, Dante is faced with the sins he committed in the Crusades, and in a way, in God's name, but realize that all was a big fat lie by the Bishop who promised the forgiveness of all sins.

A twist appears at the end, apparently along his journey, Dante has been breaking the chains that are binding Lucifer and at the very end freed Lucifer from his eternal bondage. There, with the powers of the souls he had absolved on his journey, he binds Lucifer once more and is taken up to Purgatory, setting up for a sequel. He rips the tapestry off his chest, yes that cross on his chest is sewn (or watever the past tense of sew is) on, and it turns to a snake.

The PSP version has lousier graphics when compared to the PS3 version, well duh, its PSP. Gameplay is very similar to God of War: Chains of Olympus, to the point that both of them went to hell...=____=. One main difference is that Dante's skills are based on two weapons, the Scythe and the Holy Cross. Along the way, you choose to Absolve or Punish the sinful souls down below. Absolve adds points for the Holy Cross while Punish adds points for the Scythe. And than you choose to add skills to whichever you want. I like the Holy Cross mainly for its ranged benefit as well as a health boost whenever you use it to kill. Also, absolving sounds more peaceful than punishing, where the screams of the damned is very annoying.

Now, for the disturbing part. The first thing that really got to me was the walls. The walls you climb on is made on humans, or rather what remained of them. It was so sick...urgh...imagine yourself climbing through a sea of rotten bodies. Next came the Unblessed Infants. Their death throes are sickening. Really, urgh, which is why I choose to absolve them whenever possible. There are a few others that are sick as well. It is hell after all.

Weird Dreams

I have been having a tonne of weird dreams lately...stress maybe?

First off, I've been having dreams that I went to KFC to work, and whoa, it was bigger, way bigger than wat I work at, though the shape and details change with each dreams. In some dreams, I work like a pro, untired and ever so diligent. In others, Im a slacker, preferring to hand duties to other people. And in one dream, they didnt have the t-shirt for my size...lol, so i didnt have to work.

Next, I had a dream that Adam Lambert and Josh Groban + Jonas brothers had a fight...what the heck! Im not even interested in them, so wat the hell... and the thing is, Lambert was performing some kind of concert and invited the others to go, then he was performing some weird acts (lots of smoke, make-up and effects) then he challenged the audience on Christian faith. the Jonases went wild with anger, and a composed Groban calmed them and went up the stage and he and Lambert had a big war of words. Then the crowds were cheering Groban on. Wasnt it suppose to be Lambert's concert...=_=. And the weirdest part was, I saw this thing on Youtube, next thing I know, I told my friends, and we were watching live... =_="" And I dont even know if the Jonases and Groban were Christian and whether Lambert wasnt one...

And another one which happen last night was about me winning some sort of competition, having to do with Dante's Inferno on a stage which never happened in the game. The goal was something like killing the Pests and Minions, doing some acrobat/parkour thing and scoring as high as possible. And the reward? 300 million... jaw dropping... but the weirdest part was I rejected the money because I needed to renounce my school...wtf....high school at that, some weird unknown school I never heard of, and I gave up 300 million for something like tat!!! But thankfully, my dad went to get the price in my name, and I asked him to buy me two laptops... wtf.. with 300 million I could buy 300 houses and all i can think of is laptops.... stupid, just stupid.

i have some weird imaginations eh...so weird...

HOLIDAYS AGAIN!!!!

yea, yea...Im gonna have close to two full months of holidays...and first semester of Uni Life is over...i cant believe it, it seems like its been a flash...close one eye and bam, semester's over...woots

so anyway, since it gonna be such a long holiday, and actually had a few things in mind that I wanna do, whether it works or not is another question so, lo and behold, my things-to-do list for the holidays!!

1.) Learn erhu and yangqin (erhu's strings are broken, and yangqin is MIA, so not so sure now)

2.) Make some music...or just learn to use FL studio, really

3.) Play all Final Fantasy games...haha...i got FF 1,2,3,5 lined up nicely...downloading 6 and 7, one thru torrent, which doesnt seem to be moving much, and one through direct download...4 im still thinking whether to find the NDS version or the PSX version. 8 and 9 are there but I'll dl after 7. 10, 10-2, 11 and 12 im thinking of using PS2 emulators, but i dont think my hardwares can support them so...11 has a PC version though...13...dont even get me started...PS3, Blu-Ray, tats one hell of a barrier.

4.) Make some Wc3 maps, FF themed. OK, this is one longshot. I've tried and tried, but never seemed to succeed. Here's hoping this time it will. Oh yeah, with Starcraft 2 coming out, its a longer shot than ever.

5.) Blog, blog and blog, im keep updating this blog and another blog jointly made by me and a friend, though I havent seen him post anything yet =____=

6.) I am thinking about making some papercraft models, and wat the heck, dont have a good printer and fingers to make it. So it's just a thought for now.

7.) Working may be out of question, since its only 7 weeks, but i think i may look into it.

8.) and of coz, watch tonnes of anime and manga...haha

yup, tat's wat my gonna do this sem break...

Behind the Mask

What the hell is with the "who's face lies behind the mask?!" I tot it was Madara? Then I saw the hand. Doesnt look like an old man's hand to me. And i think this is the first time we saw Madara's hand. So who the hell is Madara? Who the hell is this guy?

Notice that Kushina referred to Madara by name when she was talking about the Madara vs Hashirama fight, and referred to him as the Masked Man when talking about him knowing about the childbirth thing...

One more note...Biwako said that "we need to keep your (giving) birth classified"...how the heck? Shes got a big belly in front of her, its not like you can keep that a secret...(oh...cute young sasuke), and the part on "Dont scream even if the contractions start" and then next page "IT HURTS!!!!!!!"....damn funny....

Im hoping that next week is the big battle of Madara+Kyuubi vs Minato....and after that Madara's face is revealed...yipee....

Naruto 500, Bleach 410, One Piece 590

NARUTO - Infomation overload...argh!

Anyway, we get to see how Naruto was borned, we get to see how Madara or however is under the mask unleashed the Nine Tails. Or rather tried. How...that's for the next chapter...

So a bunch of Information overload, mostly regarding relatives, and man, I like Kushina, she's one kickass mom.

Uzumaki Mito - First Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, First Hokage's Wife, Tsunade's grandma, the diamond thing on her forehead might possess similar abilities to Tsunade's.

Sarutobi Sasuke - Third Hokage's Father, named after a real ninja (or legendary?), Uchiha Sasuke is named after him

Biwako - Third Hokage's wife. Presumed dead, killed by Madara when assisting Kushina during childbirth.

Masked Man - OK. This guy doesnt appear to be Madara

BLEACH

Blah, blah, blah, some training, some crap about the inner world, and then we meet Shiro-chan again. The Hollow inside Ichigo, yipee. Though the way Tensa rip Shiro-chan out of Ichigo reminds me of Muramasa. Then we listen to some more crap about Asano. Then Arisawa is about to be attacked by Aizen, and a guy steps in. Good guy? Bad Guy? Maybe part of the Urahara gang? Maybe Ishida's dad? *Shrugs*

ONE PIECE

Hmm...finally, Luffy is about to go to find his crew...I've been waiting for this since forever...the front part is kinda touching, everybody crying, it really goes to show how One Piece is famous for its heartfelt moments. Jimbei is gonna take care of Luffy, tat might mean his gonna be part of the crew, and maybe Boa Hancock will form an alliance with Luffy, haha....
