Second Home

Finally, I’m back in Granado Espada. After taking a hiatus off the game and concentrating on real life, I figured that now is the best time to actually head back in. I have time, sorta.

Feels great to be back gaming online again, I miss the thrill of leveling up and hunting for items. Oh, and acting like a nooblet is great fun, I’ve yet to see helpful people in game though, perhaps because I’ve only played for a few hours.

Oh, and Initial D Version 4 was released yesterday.  It’s terribly expensive in my opinion. Sure, the technology used may be quite advanced, but 3 bucks per game and 5 bucks for a card? That’s hardly affordable.

The graphics may look odd, prone to glitches (the machine that I’m using anyway), the sound’s too loud and the drifting too unrealistic. Perhaps in time, I’ll get used to it but for now, I’ll stick to version three.

‘Till next time, see ya.

Oh, and to say goodbye to one of my favorite blogs, Table of Malcontents, I’ll embed the video here.

Enjoy.

DJMax Portable 2

DJMP2 is definitely the best game next to Loco Roco.

The fast beats and nice music compliment each other nicely.

I first got the demo about several weeks ago from the web and just had to try it out. One try and I got hooked. I loved how you can adjust the speed of the falling keys and the music sounded great. Temptation took me by the hand and dragged me to Comics Connection to get it.

Haven’t regretted it since. There’re so many things to unlock and plenty of customization available.

Current favorite song: Blythe

I wonder if anyone of you reading this blog own a PSP as well, if you do, well, e-mail me! I’d like to meet you.

Here’s a nice track from DJMP2 called Outlaw, enjoy.

Note: This is not from Portable, but the track is the same.

Kay, gotta go do my RJ now.

Jumbled thoughts

I’ll list some thoughts down, my brain hasn’t been at optimum condition for awhile now. My days have been so hectic I can’t sleep properly and have a writer’s block and now my thoughts are so incoherent, I have random thoughts popping out ever few seconds.

It’s been a wacky two weeks in RP. This class is so comfortable you just can’t help but ease into it, making friends, chatting away.

This makes the project-crafting process much easier.

I’d be getting another game for my PS3 today, or perhaps tomorrow. I dunno.

Been re-reading The Magician’s Guild trilogy by Trudi Canavan. Nice read.

Planning to get another hard-disc, running out of space for schoolwork.

Where are some people when you need them?

Why it’s hard to be a god. Pause Sonific and play video.

WOOT

Resistance: Fall of Man. Completed!

IT fair and stalking

Today, I headed to the IT fair over at Suntec, somehow, I felt really really bored. I guess that’s what happens when you have nothing to buy and your heart is anchored by a shiny black PS3 which you cannot afford.

But I had a great time with Lisa and her mom.

Before that, we had a minor stop in Parkway. There, Lisa and I stalked some girl that looked like a guy in an uber long skirt, let’s just call it Skirt.

Her dad (we presume), had a mullet and reminded me of some old Beng and it’s mom had a matching length skirt. So we trailed them around while Lisa was just acting hysterical. Weird.

As for the IT fair, there wasn’t much to see, met a few RP students though. It seemed so toned down this year.  No fights, no rivalries, nothing attention grabbing. ‘Cept maybe a few booth babes, but that’s normal.

Prices for external hard-discs have dropped though, this would be great if not for the fact I’m saving up for a PS3 that I want so badly.

Ah well, if I have any time to upload pictures, I will. Took quite a few meaningless pictures.

Oh, maybe, I’ll use splash to make a story thingy… We’ll see.

Granado Espada

How should I start this post.

Oh! I know

Granado Espada is a beautiful game. what? I have to justify? Sure.

The first thing you notice when you step into Granado Espada is the beautiful graphics. Not just beautiful, spectacularly stunning graphics, every feature on the characters, the buildings and scenery are portrayed vividly and gorgeously. The Victorian look is captured nicely by the game developers and is a definite thumbs up from me.

The next thing you will notice would be it’s beautiful Sound. All characters are equipped with vocals, and their voices are very clear. The background music is provided by various musicians and most notably, soundTeMP, the team that made most of Ragnarok Online’s background music. Classical guitars in the fields, opera and classical piano in towns and techno in battle. The music is stunning, you can just stay in town and listen to the music the entire day, such is its beauty.

The game play is fantastic, but I won’t go in-depth into it. Multi-Character Control or MCC aids in game play. You control up to three characters at once and you can set various AI modes in which your characters will approach the enemy or collect items. Different Stances provide different skill sets that your characters can use, this allows for strategic development and no two characters will be the same.

Stunning graphics, beautiful music, exciting game play, gorgeous setting and interesting story. Everything I wanted in an MMORPG and more, all found in Granado Espada. Playing it and loving every minute of it.

Here’s a wallpaper I made, just for fun, with my characters. Meet the Murakami Family.

Boredom, life and nothing in-between

It’s been a couple of days since I blogged, partially because I was lazy and partially because I was hooked on GRANADO ESPADA!!!

I’ve been waiting for it since it’s announcement in 2005. Ah, finally, I get to roam the lands of Granado Espada.

Anyways, haven’t heard any interesting things on the news lately, so I have nothing to report on this end.

Been thinking about parallel universes and what would actually occur there. Would I be what I am now? Would all the decisions I made change who I’ll end up as/like? Would I be holding a sword and fending off 6,000,000 super intelligent porcupine-monkey hybrids?

The world may never know, but I can imagine.

No videos for today, will probably upload one tomorrow. Or perhaps a podcast. Or perhaps both! Or maybe neither. Or maybe I should keep quiet now.

Just.. watch

OMG!!!!!!!

Sonific. Pause. Play. Kapeesh?
