Between accidents, Blazblue, and high class buffets

Junam09 17,2009 · Leave a Comment

keiplayAlright… the day went pretty well but with a price. I fell down the stairs earlier today. Kinda neat since I was agile enough to twist and turn in mid air before my butt crashed on the steps, causing my head to miss the sharp edges. My back still hurts and my legs are pretty numb. I can still walk, but not as fast as I normally do. I’m still waiting for my salary from OnRPG. I’m currently fixated on paying my debts and saving up for the future.

As expected, Blazblue never left the disc trays of both my Ps3 and Xbox since we got em. I managed to finally master the timing of Noel’s Soko loop (6C>BC). I also managed to land a  couple of R1 (some crazy jap) combos in the process. Still workin on my match strategies but at least my bread and butters are A BIT polished.

Brother’s workin on his Tager now. Managed to perform pretty well against tager today (i think). All the B&B’s managed to connect without leaving Black beats. It took a while before I performed the combos right, especially since the 6C>BC loop is just torture (for me at least).

Anyway… we went to circle restaurant in Makati Shangri-la hotel. The buffet was rather pricey so we had to dig in every other minute. If you were to ask me, the price was both worth it and so-so at the same time. Indeed there were different vareties of food. We had Japanese sushies, Chinese dumplings, Italian pastas etc. Though the awesome selection, each dish tasted different from their actual taste. The tempura was too soggy and the sauce wasn’t so”gingery” as well. Pastas would taste bland and would only bring off the taste of untouched noodles. Yeah… it was like a game of imagination for me. 1,500 php is definitely a huge price to pay for a bunch of rip-off dishes.

(well… at least they got the steak right…)

Between Noel Vermillion and Zoning tactics

Junpm09 17,2009 · 2 Comments

It’s been a while since I used an offensive character. Kinda like a big leap from Testament gameplay. Yeah Blazblue was as lovely as I thought It’d be. The net coding was way awesome since I barely felt that much lag. At least there’s no input lag! that’s a lot better than losing frames. Arc systems have outdone themselves this time. The game is quite famous now and is currently the number one preordered game online.

As promised I won’t be using any zoning characters in this game. Instead focusing my ass on Noel Vermillion who seems to resemble Anji’s reserved gameplay at some point. Once again, my brother owned the crowd. I’m not surprised since my bro learns pretty fast. Kinda sucks though since I’m still using my crappy invented combos. Hmm… my PC’s currently dead… Im actually too tired to get it. The fucking thing needs another power supply…

The day didn’t start that well for me btw… family wars rock. LOL.

Between Flu and Intercoms

Junam09 17,2009 · Leave a Comment

keibuntaHow fun… I ended up sleeping the whole day. I didnt get any work today so I decided to get a few hours of sleep… LONG HOURS. Dad’s suffering from intestinal flu.  I dont know if he should get a check up soon but the guy still goes to the office regardless of his condition. My cousin also has a flu… prolly since she goes out often. Hmm… WTH… it’s not like I care. Blazblue’s currently on its way. It’s been years since we first saw the game being tested in Japan. The Guilty Gear community’s prolly getting goosebumps by now. I’m still a bit sleepy, prolly due to the weather.

It feels really good to bum around once more. I was beginning to feel that I was turning into some kinds of work machine (which is not my cupy of tea). I still have a pack of Marlboros to burn so I guess I’ll finish Uncharted before Blazblue gets here. Anyway, I’m also excited about Halo ODST… Dunno how long it’ll take before the game hits the stores but I’m sure it’s worth the wait.

transit report

Anyway… I’ll update you guys when the package gets here. Cheers.

Between *GASP and *SIGH

UntitledWell well well… that was surprising. I woke up to the sound of the intercom that ravaged my ears like it always did. I reached over and yanked the phone trying to stretch my brittle bones forward. To my surprise, my father told me that I wasn’t going to take my brother to school today. Turns out that everyone in the house was sick… including the maids. Kinda weird since Drew (cousin) and I were the only ones who were not affected. I expected the worst and told em to get a checkup, fearing it may be A(H1N1). unfortunately for me, my father didn’t listen. Everyone was in their rooms shitting bricks while I was playing prototype. Kinda fun since the intercom didn’t ring as much today. After finishing the last part of my workload, I immediately lied down and rested.

I woke up after hearing my cousin bang the floor while trying to beat the second boss in Demon’s souls. Turns out that everyone here was having a hard time, including Drew who was on the verge of breaking my console over his losing streak. After brushing through my CD collection, I realized that most of em were left untouched. I eyed Resident Evil 5, Little Big Planet and Demon Souls after fixin my stuff and decided to trade em in.

I met up with Mitch and headed over to Greenhills. After goin to the PS3 trading store, I ended up trading my 3 CDs for Lair and Uncharted 1. I know Lair is supposed to be a really fucked up game but can you blame a man for being bored? I know I should’ve gone for Ninja Gaiden instead of Lair but I really wanted to try it. Regardless of how fucked up the trade was, I could say that I’m pretty satisfied.

We ate at Flapjacks and gave compliments to the chef. The dishes were good and was a lot better than Little Asia’s.

The day was pretty cool if you think about it. No intercoms, no taking your bro to school, good food etc. I started working on my articles shortly after my arrival. As expected everyone was still sick which was pretty neat since I was still trying to enjoy my intercomless day. Everything was going as planned…. or so I thought.

I browsed around www.playasia.com to check on some stuff for my budgeting. To my surprise, a small detail on the upper left portion of the screen caught my attention.

IN STOCK?!?!?!?!?!?! HOLY WTF LOLZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1_994931917lYeah I flipped 7 feet in the air after seeing those words from Playasia. I was expecting the game to be launched around July (especially since that’s what they said) so I guess it was a rather normal reaction for me.I tried to play Uncharted to keep myself away from temptation, desperately trying to maintain control over my spending spree. I brushed through the levels like a madman, cursing the enemies like hell. I felt that I needed to supress a lot of willpower so I set the difficulty to hard. The game was fairly easy IMO… and to be honest it’s one of the best PS3 games I’ve ever played… but before I knew it….. bb2

*CACHING!!! I already bought the game. It’s really funny when you end up betraying yourself in the end. I really thought I was playing…. turns out I was already typing my card number XD. Hmmm… must be some kind of game shopping schizophrenia. Anyway… the game may arrive later. I’m kinda excited…

eto na!

And like hell I’m sure this guy’s going to wet his pants when he hears about this… well done Kei! you’ve done it again!

Between horrid memories and elements

Junam09 17,2009 · Leave a Comment

Ever been called a destructive element? what about a resident satanist? ever been faced by YFC biatchus telling you that you’re not worthy to praise the lord? I’m all these things… or better yet… WAS these things. I remember the time I helped an old lady who was crying in Tomas Morato. Turns out the woman was selling oranges but everyone didn’t even bother to look at her… I remember drinking coffee with Rai when the old lady suddenly cried in the middle of the street, hoping to get hit by a random car (or so that’s what it seems). The guards laughed and sent her away. The poor lady looked helpless. Despite me being called a destructive element, it would seem that I was the most humane person there. I approached the old lady and bought all her oranges. The lady looked at me and told me that I was God sent… that I was some sort of angel. She held my hand tight as she wiped her tears with the other, and though her hands were covered with dirt, I couldn’t bring myself to yank my arm back. YFC… hah… that’s a pack of bullshit… with kids who are both stereotypical and judgemental… hoping to get laid or prolly find attractive people among the group. Lemme ask you… have you done anything for God to begin with? Pathetic hypocrites. If you find this entry offensive, then go read something else.

I was a man-made persona… showing people the person whom they thought I was instead of redeeming myself only to face their stereotypical minds. Even now I still don’t know what it was I tried to accomplish. I wasn’t proud, nor do I regret my past actions. It was fun… but now it’s time to start over.

Between Blazblue and GuiltyGear

Junpm09 17,2009 · 1 Comment

It’s not better… it only looks better…

Here’s more stuff to enhance noobrage.

weird… and to think he’s not the top tier.

IMO the game needs more than just rebalancing… after seeing Arakune perform his stunts and after seeing these, I kinda wish that they wont have to reCHARGE us for a balanced version of the game… I hope they dont launch Blazblue Rebalance XX Z23-42 EXTREME soon after this.

A message to the creators: We’re not supposed to pay for Open beta dudes… We dont need more Reload Eddies. The fact that it’s new doesn’t make it better… Since the game is still fresh, I kinda expected this… The next thing you know we’ll have triple jump installs and triple option select. I wonder… if I get to do these types of combos with Noel, will that promote more noobrage? Prolly will… it’s a given thing… anyway just in case…

Between silver and Bravia V series

Junam09 17,2009 · 4 Comments

Hey guys, the silver anniv was a blast. Kinda glad that I managed to introduce Mitch to my freaks. Despite my number of exes, Mitch was the first one to ever meet the clan. Anyway…

I was so fixated with my bravia lag problem that I actually bought 2 more cables for the PS3. Each cable costs 400 bucks… so that’s 800 bucks down the drain (yep… didnt work). Cousin’s currently playing Resistance 2…. Kinda glad he kept me company while I work on my Pi Story review. I miss my PC… It’s been a while since I got to touch it. I miss drawing and surfing without having to worry about frame problems… but most of all… I miss WoW  T___________T. Demon Souls was a bitch… prolly the hardest game I’ve ever played on a nextgen platform (I knew I should’ve bought Socom instead LOL).

Really miss Mitch. Kinda sucks that she had to go the moment I realized that I got a lot of stuff to tell O.O. The room looks a lot brighter now… I can’t believe I surpassed my parents at some point. Hearing my father say “Wow… your stuff is a lot better than ours” kinda got me all teary-eyed. It may not be a big deal for you guys, but I’ve been wanting to hear a form of praise from my dad ever since. Btw… I’ll be working in Davenben next month… Since my parents are on their way to Europe, I was picked to act as their sub-chairman. Kinda glad I researched on the product. After this stunt, I may actually end up running the family business. Hmm… all that power… >_< OH GOD! Anyway I’m supposed to take my bro to school around 9 PM, so I better get some shuteye while I can. >_<.

Between spending sprees and materialism

Junpm09 17,2009 · 4 Comments

Alright! Mission complete! I managed to pimp up my room. Lots of changes her. Still pretty sad that my PC had to goback to the repair shop… it’s my tool and I cant work without it. Anyway… for updates, I just purchased a 32″ 1080p Sony Bravia. I really dont know what pushed me to do  this but I also purchased a home theatre system to go with it. If you think that’s all, I also got a carpet, 2 bean bags and some throw pillows.

My room really looks different now… kinda refreshing to finally get to see my zen space come to life.

The TV still has a bit of lag but nothing that’ll affect your gameplay. I’m still not contented with the shelf… I’ll prolly get a new one soon. I dont know about you but the wooden texture kinda looks a bit off next to those black appliances.

DSC00400

This is the entire setup. There you see both the front and surround speakers mounted on the wall. Hopefully I’ll get to mount my TV after a few days. It’s just pretty troublesome since I cant see the screen when I’m lying down on my bed. Well… Its not like I’ll be sleeping in my bed anyway.

DSC00405

Ah yes my savage kitty kinky bed is now next to the window. Less obstruction means more airconditioning for me. The place looks pretty neat, not to mention spacious.

Doesn’t look like I’ll run out of stuff to play until Blazblue gets here… I got Demon Souls earlier… Friggin hard RPG. It’s good for countless hours of death though..

Well it does seem like a happy day for me…

No thanks to this mother fucker…

Batman: Ashes to Ashes

Junam09 17,2009 · Leave a Comment

Batman: ashes to ashes is a french indie film that focuses more on the birth of Harley Quinn. Aside from its gruesome storyline, Batman’s persona has been changed yet again. If you think that he was really grunting in The Dark Knight, wait till you see this. The scene transition is a work of art, probably the best one I’ve seen in years. This is batman with a more theatrical look. Kinda reminds me of inFAMOUS’s storytelling. It doesn’t really share the same storyline as the comic (not to mention their view of Batsy), but I assure you that this film is a must watch for Batfags everywhere.

You can watch this flick here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9fnir_batman-ashes-to-ashes-hd_creation
