I've been playing a lot of Gun Bound lately. I'm already a Double Wood Hammer, with 1530+ GP (Gun Points, or experience for rpg palyers). The weird shit is, according to the ranking system, I should be a Stone Axe/Hammer by now, and should be eligible for a free gift of a Space Marine Helmet and Jacket. It's been 2 days since I hit 1500 GP, and still no equipment.

On the plus side, this last Sunday I picked random 3 times, and in one I got the Dragon, after that a Turtle (ugh) and then, I got the Knight! Never mind the Turtle, the Dragon and and Knight can only appear with a 1 in 16 chance for either one of them, bringing the grand probability of getting them secret mobiles a 1 in 32!

I enjoyed playing with both secret mobiles. The Dragon was simply awesome. Sure, I got killed by a Boomer Machine and a J.D. who teamed up on me, but I killed both of them after I respawned. Tactics? Get up close, use a Dual and not a Dual+, and let them have it full force in the face with the second weapon. The first time I did it, the Boomer Machine got a red lifebar and the J.D. was half-melted. Next turn they both fire on me, bringing me to critical as well, but I managed to knock off the J.D. before getting shot in the back by a Grub. One of my allies KSed the Boomer from me. (KS=kill steal, AKA sawsaw) Not that I minded much, though. My plan was to damage them all ASAP and have my buddies kill them in rapid succession, preferably within 3-4 turns.

Ally1 Ally 2 Grub Me(DRAGON) Boomer J.D. [Melee, anyone?]

This was the setup. So I died, respawned in the same spot, and with my second Dual fire breath I killed the J.D. in one turn. Probably due to the fact that the J.D. is vulnerable to Hit-class weapons, which the Dragon's breath weapons are. I received an Excellent shot bonus, a 1000 damage bonus, and a Finish bonus for that game-winning fire blast. The reactions of the 3 enemies in the preparation room when they saw my mobile were priceless, as were the other people playing near my console. OMG, OMFG, WOW, among other things.

Playing the Knight was weird. I really looked like a Knight, because the mobile was a white horse with gold highlights and a sword floating over it. Downside was, it plays like the A. Sate. The A. Sate attacks by dropping beacons near you; lasers from the satellite above it home in on the beacons. In the Knight's case, it fires mini-swords. The Knight's SS (that's Special Skill/ Super Shot) also looks like the A. Sate's; a huge beacon is thrown, and a lot of swords rain straight down on the spot where the beacon lands. I managed to do 500+ damage with it, which makes me want to try and practice with A. Sate some more. Also, the Knight has astounding armor and/or life. Being a Machine-type, it's supposed to be vulnerable to electricity, but 150+ pts of damage from the J.D. I was fighting (who cursed every time my sword missiles hit) didn't look like much on my lifebar.

Oh well, la. Not everyday is a Sunday, leh.

I've decided to stop playing Ragnarok Online. I've gotten a new online addiction: Gunbound. At wrst, it could be described as Worms or Scorched Earth online. The gameplay is the same, mostly. Your choice of "Mobile" (as your units are called), as well as the stuff your avatar is wearing affect the gameplay. Basically, you enter a waiting room, select your mobile, take some consumable items for the match and you're set. Outside of a game lobby, you can purchase stuff like helmets and armor to increase your stats. Sounds wonderful? It is. If you have the gold for them that is, which can be gotten by winning matches inside the rooms. Matches can be up to 4v4, with 3 fun common variants. Tag makes you choose a "spare" Mobile which you can switch to in the middle of a match, which come sinto play with only 50% of its total life. Still, better than dead the next enemy turn! Solo is single death elimination, and Score gives a team a limited number of respawns or lives. That is, say in a 5 score match, if you number of deaths a team receives equals five or more (I've seen double-kills happen) they lose, despite say they all have healthy Mobiles left. The quickest way to score a kill? Blow up the terrain below them to send them plummeting to death. You don't get a gold bonus for the kill, but in team games, it's better to set personal gains aside for a while.
Gameplay? Up and down raise and lower your angle of attack, left and right makes you move over the terrain, and holding down the spacebar makes a slider move, which corresponds to the force your projectile is thrown. Each Mobile has 2 normal shots and a Super shot. Given 15 Mobiles, plus a load of items make each opponent unique. At okey lang sumawsaw, in fact it's encouraged. Unless may mayabang na naghamon ng 1v1 sa gitna ng battlefield. And yes, buhay pa rin ang walang kamatayang trashtalking. Hay!

I need a computer of my own. Specs? Preferably Pentium 4, 1.6 GHz speed, 20 GB+ HD space, 16 MB video card, and running Windows 95. 48x CD drive, or maybe a DVD drive. Modem. Gotta have a modem, and the necessary etceteras for Internet surfing. And right now, a printer. What am I gonna use it for? Hentai, non-hentai, and maybe write up some fan fiction and print out my thesis. There. Not too much to ask for is it? Yet the gods do not answer my prayers.

There is a Nantuko teaching that says, "Unanswered prayers are answers themselves." The question I suppose, is what are you going to do about it, young grasshopper?

Back from the dead again. I'm glad I still remember my account details. I'm glad I'm still alive.
What do I tell you? I've recently been to an anime showing, where I saw Full Metal Panic 2 (Ep 1), Ai Yori Aoshi (Ep 1), an Inu-Yasha movie, and Meitantei Loki Ragnarok. Did I leave something out? Well, I got a peek at Last Exile, but I didn't like the art [translation: no stereotypical cute babes] so I skipped out on it. I know: I'll give you a few-liner about each one!

Full Metal Panic 2: I loved the first, and I think I'm gonna love the sequel, no matter what my friend James says. Not liking a show just because of one character is stupid and is a mark of narrow-mindedness, but I guess that 3-pt Flaw balances the 2-pt Merit Tinker and the 1-pt Merit Trained Memory. Back to the series. :) SPOILER WARNING!!! The story takes place after 17-y.o. Sousuke Sagara defeats the terrorrist Gaul in a climatic battle on the deck of the Mithril HQ /submarine amid a raging storm. He is now enrolled in the same school as Kaname Chidori, the girl he was assigned to protect while serving under Mithril. There are rumors of the school being bribed just to admit our teenage super soldier with no civilian skills except playing basketball. In FMP 2, no terrorist hunting for a while, just the crew being normal students for once. Kaname for the moment forgets that she's a Whispered, and resumes the life she had before Mithril. I expect the other cast members of season 1 to make an appearance soon, judging from the opening and closing clips. The 99% assured enrollment of Tessa Testarossa, Sousuke's CO who confessed love for him to Kaname back in season 1(!!) has made me and my friend call FMP2 as "Seasons of the Sagara," a play on a classic JAST dating/ecchi game. Incidentally, according to my friend Ian, GONZO's pool of artists had some former JAST people...

Ai Yori Aoshi: Known as AYA worldwide, this is, as my friend puts it, mush. Good mush. I like good mush. The set-up: childhood sweethearts living under the same roof, with a bunch of other women in the household who aren't relatives. Sounds like Love Hina? It sure does. I mean, what other series has the lead female taking her clothes off in front of the camera in just the first episode? No wonder I like it. :) Not as sexually overloaded as Love Hina, but as I've seen on some sites on the net, the sex is still there, just buried beneath the rather serious storyline.

Inu-Yasha movie: Has the gang fighting two powerful fiends, Naraku, the main villain of the series, and another demon named Kaguya, who is masquerading as a celestial princess. Basically, a three-part TV episode. You have the usual Kagome-Inuyasha fights, the usual Sango-Miroku groping scenes, the usual cowardly Shippo...

Meitantei Loki Ragnarok: think Card Captor Sakura with a boy instead. Instead of a key that turns into a staff, Loki just conjures his using the time that Sakura would spend morphing her key. Instead of cards, throw in Norse characters, like thunder-god Thor masquerading as a fastfood cook, his mighty hammer Mjolnir transformed into a bokken. And yes, Loki gets a cute sidekick/pet, which he summoned by himself, and this pet has already been under a girl's nightgown. Lucky little cute bugger... :) Judging from the ending sequence, Loki will pull of a Yukito/Yue in the future, growing tall and sprouting wings.

That's it for now. I'm going to gloat about having foud some interesting AYA pics on the net and some H-game images now. Until then...

I'm back from hiatus.
Eep. That's all. Too much work, to little good stuff to write about. Sigh.
Ciao.
Adios.

HARDCORE OTAKU


(results contain pictures) What type of anime otaku are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

More weird dreams. I got them sort of mixed up. One was about having my Ryoken II figure broken by some visiting relatives' children. While I was bewailing the loss, as usual, no one admits the crime. It was horible: the four autocannons mounted beneath the cockpit were torn out. It was later in the dream that I noticed that "Hey, this broken Ryoken II kinda resembles the Raaza Angurifu from Super Robot Wars Advance." You probably know by now what I've been spending my free time on.

The other one was just a raunchy dream about an island of half-naked women dancing on the beach to the beat of a drum. Did I say dancing? I meant even belly-dancing, rubbing against each other, just plain simple eye candy for men. Sigh.

I have 2 incompletes for classcards. Yay. And my groupmates are nowhere to be found. Cool. SHit.
At any rate, I had a weird dream last night, some sort of cross between X-men 2 and Matrix Reloaded. We (I don't know who my companions were) were escorting somebody through this cavernous chamber with doors lining the left and right walls. Every so often me and my teammates would slash something to death, something smaller than a human, probably on four legs or in a similar stance. As the attacks were becoming more frequent, we decided to weave in and out of the doors. I stayed with the VIP, and one of my buddies scouted ahead. We were about to follow when he came back, looking harried. "Hindi puede," he said. "Bakit?" I asked. "Mga X-men sa labas," was his reply. Suddenly, Storm and either Magneto or Prof. X were inside the cavern, Storm starting as she seemed to recognize me. I felt I had to act fast. I pushed the VIP through a nearby door, bent down, touched the floor, still facing the mutants, and I yelled "Ice Beam!!!" First the floor beacme covered in frost, then a wall of ice appeared between me and the X-men cast. Weird, isn't it?

Which Artistic Nude Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla


Ay, puwet!

I'll have to take my Filipino 50 finals on April 1, 8-10 AM. I feel like a fool. I should have dropped the MF when I had the chance. I just found this out today, early morning, 8:30 AM Philippine time. And before that, my mother shafted me with my allowance, claiming she had given me 5 20s and a 100. So where's the big violet bill? Groan.
Ray of Light: Someone else has read my Pagtugis! I feel a little bit less mad at the world now. So far, only a few university people have read my SpaceBar series. Those I can call brave friends, dear friends.

I'm only human. That's why sometimes typographical errors happen when I write. It's also why I feel compelled to write stuff down. Kinda like this:

"Mr. Senn, are we right to trust these damn turncoats? I think they're leading us into a trap," I asked my superior officer.
"It's not your place to think of such stuff, Jimmy. Your job is to call out what's happening around us so we live to fight another day," he replied.
"I guess so. Hey, Private Koji, what do you think?"
"Bad guy at 10 o' clock! Missiles launch detected!" our Koshi pilot cried out over the comm. That was Koji for you. He gets his English straight as often as he hits targets in the range. Which isn't a good thing. The good thing is that he's also perceptive.
"Confirmed it, Mr. Senn. Arbalest, Banson's Raiders, judging from the colors and the ambush tactic."
Around us, the grunts were frantic. Some of them took cover behind the Ryoken II, not wanting to suffer the same fate as the Arbalest's victims. I sneered at them. What did they expect, that their buddies would welcome them with open arms? "It's a diversion, sir! They meant to lure us out here! We never should have believed their tales of a Raider stockpile. Now our LZ is defenseless!"
"It's just an Arbalest, Jimmy. Hardly any reason to get excited," Senn replied. But Koji's next words made a lie out of Caden Senn's platitude. "Second enemy 'Mech, detected! Moving to engage! Koji, out!" I checked my scanners. Another 'Mech had managed to close in on our location. I froze as I gazed at the readings. "Mr. Senn, sir, it's Frederick Bo's Shadowcat II !"
"They want to make a matter out of it, eh?" Caden asked rhetorically, to which I had no time to reply. "Let's go over and help Koji, then. He's not going to last long against that thing. Koji, fall back and form behind me. Watch that Arbalest!"
"Yokai!" came the shouted reply. Honestly, he reminded me of those characters in the old Tetsu Mashin cartoons.
The Shadow Cat II was leveling its Gauss Rifle at the Koshi when Koji did a burst of speed which had him behind Caden Senn's Ryoken II in a flash. Still, Mr. Senn urged the behemoth forward, and ordered me to ready the autocannons. I complied, and it was a terrible thing to behold, 75 tons of steel sporting with missiles primed and cannons spinning, reduced to blurs in the afternoon light of Pebble Valley.

A second volley of missiles flew from the Arbalest, and Frederick Bo noted with satisfaction as the smoked cleared, leaving bodies scattered everywhere. They deserved it, the traitors. His eyes were drawn, not to the 'Mechs in front of him, but on the second platoon of soldiers, still wearing the Banson distinctive gear, cowering behind the Koshi. "I'll deal with them later," he said to no one in particular. "Right now, the traitors must be destroyed." He wasn't afraid of the autocannons on the Ryoken II; he had marked it for execution at the last. Engaging the MASC, the quickly closed the gap between him and the standard foot.

Corporal Spirit watched as the Shadow Cat II ran towards them. "Quick, guys, our ride's here! It's the Headhunter, come to take us out of here!" This drew shouts of delight from the men, which turned into horror when they realized the 'Mech wasn't slowing down.

"The Kage Neko Niban has destroyed our infantry escorts!" Koji announced.
"Kage Neko ... oh, you mean the Shadow Cat II," I reasoned out. "What do we do now, Mr. Senn? Apart from these two, I see a J100 and some infantry further on."
"Koji, you distract this big alley cat as long as you can. We'll destroy their support and come back to help you finish it off. Understood?"
"Hai!" The Koshi went off to approach the much larger Shadow Cat II.
"Is this wise, sir? My calculations say that Koji doesn't have a chance against Bo. 'Mech weight, armaments, experience..."
"It's the only thing we can do, Jimmy."

Koji didn't last very long, four minutes, at most. To say that he got massacred by Frederick Bo's Shadow Cat II would be an understatement. But he didn't die; he ejected a few seconds before the 'Cat's fist smashed the Koshi's torso in. "We have their J100 in range, sir," I informed Caden Senn.
"Fire missiles!"
"Missiles away!"
The J100's escorts danced around as the ground exploded around them. I could hear their cursing and their yelling, thanks to the advanced electronics in the loft.

"The J100 is under attack. We must assist, Mr. Bo."
"Agreed. We move." With that, they headed for the besieged vehicle.

"Enemy 'Mechs inbound, sir!"
"That's alright. Head for that cliff wall; then we'll see what these Raiders are made of."

For raiders, they sure employ some very progressive tactics. As the two 'Mechs ran in and covered the vehicle, getting showered by LRMs in the process, the J100's escorts marched forward, intent on drawing our fire. They were successful, because Mr. Senn and I knew that even ground pounders could be trouble: you never knew if they had a stick of explosive putty in their pockets, just waiting for the right time to use it. Thankfully, the forward mounted autocannons coud swivel down and rain munitions on the grunts; a sudden shudder shook the Ryoken, throwing me out of my seat. "What the hell was that, sir?"
"What? You've never been hit by something at the speed of sound, Jimmy boy?"
"Is that what that was? I thought it was my mother. By the way, sir, we're one autocannon short now."
Another shudder shook us, smaller this time. Caden Senn had raised the arms of the 'Mech just in time to block a barrage from the Arbalest. "We're all pinned down, now. We can't move because of Bo, and they can't move because of us. What do you suggest, youngster?"
"Let's go have a shooting match with them, sir. As you say, we'll see what they're made of."
And so it happened. Missiles were flying for God knows how long, and somehow, each time, Mr. Senn managed to block all of their shots, while I was hard-pressed to split the salvos into two to hit both enemy 'Mechs. Then it happened. I forgot to give the split command to the right LRM rack, and all 15 missiles flew into the Arbalest's torso, destroying it instantly. Pieces of burning metal rained on the J100, and one of them landed squarely on the crane arm, snapping it.

"Eat this, Raider!!" Caden Senn shouted. Missiles flew again, blowing the huge Gauss rifle away from the Shadow Cat II's torso.
"Sir, we gotta slow down! Heat levels are critical, and I don't want to feel like a kettle of popcorn, sir!"
"Relax, kid, it's over now. Check your scanners and see what the other guy looks like."
I did as he told. "We've- we've knocked out all it's weapons, sir." A single missile exploded against the Ryoken II; I didn't feel it, but the computer said so. "Except maybe for that. Hold on, what's it doing?"
"Last ditch, kid. He's gonna try to tackle us to the ground, and maybe the RV driver has the same idea as well. I know these Raiders."
"Are we going to let it happen, sir?"
"Heck, no! Full power to legs. We're going to send him flying into tomorrow!!!"
And we did. An escape pod flew out as the Shadow Cat II flew up and away from the Ryoken II's fist. Not satisfied with this dramatic finish, Mr. Senn swiveled at the torso and told me, "She's all yours, kid." Grinning like a boy at Chirstmas, I lined up the the two crosshairs for the autocannons at the cockpit of the J100. "Sayonara, sucker." I hit the button on my console and the Recovery vehicle was bathed in bullets, then went up in a ball of flame.
"Nice job, kid."

Hi. I just realized it's finally March. The sem is coming to an end, and I'm about to flunk a language subject. Damn. If it weren't for the infernally binding contract with my department, I would have dropped the class two weeks ago.

On another note, the effing connection from the Main Lib's 'Net Room seems rather slow. It's taking damn forever to get into Quizilla. I shudder to think how long it would take other facilities to access the quizzes. (Well, I guess the ones that charge more than 20 Php an hour probably do it faster.) It's been 35 minutes now. Crazy. I just think I'll look up some seiyuu. Evan Anipike loads faster, and it's got all those images in it. Heavy.

Konnichiwa. (Have I spelled that right?) This is on the tail end of my defeat from my friend's army. I honestly can't believe how hard it was to pull down Caden Senn's Ryoken II. On hindsight, I shouldn't have deployed a Recovery vehicle, as the Ryoken II and the Highlander Long Tom were immune to most artillery. Oh, well. More quizzes to follow.

Ciao, everyone. Au revoir.

My blog is starting to look like the versions and revisions section of a game FAQ. Sigh.
I just saw my friend Lem yesterday. We talked about our whacked schedules for the day. I told him that I had a 7-8:30 class and that was it. He said that his sucked worse, as he had a 10-2 and a 6-9. And I'm like, 6-9? PM? What kind of establishment does he go into?
I'm in Indexing class as I write. I'm evil. My prof is talking about newspapers and clippings and articles. Oh no, real work.

I just came home from another weekend of C&C:Generals. Boy, it sure gets better every time I play. I managed to finish the China campaign. The damn GLA Scud Storm was annoying. It doesn't require power, which means the damn turbaned terrorists could have as many as they want as long as they have space. 0_o Plus mobile Scud Launchers hiding in the mountains armed with high explosive warheads aren't any fun either for my lumbering Overlord Tank army. Oh well, a speed upgrade, a cannon upgrade, and two or three propaganda towers on the strike force solved that. The rest of the Overlords were equipped with Gatling Cannons mounted on their turret. I mean, it's amazing how those Chain Guns could outshoot the Depleted Uranium Shells of the Overlord. The fights usually started with the Chain Guns blazing and ended with the cannons smoking. But what really gets my goat is the GLA Rocket Buggy. Small, fast, and damn long-ranged, units less armored than my regenerating Overlords tended to get blown up. But I eventually climbed atop their mountain hideout and gave them what they deserved. Thanks to a quad of Migs stationed in my airfield, as well as the mandatory Nuclear Missile silo. So that's what the Chinese do with their uranium in this game: after using them for fuel for their Nuclear Reactors, they use them for tank ammo. Smart people, them. Also smart are their Hackers: each one, when ordered to hack the Internet for money, produces at least $5 per 3 seconds. Get ten of them, and thats $50 every 3 secs, and they level up the longer they stay connected on the 'Net. The cash flow turns to $6, then $8, and finally L337 H4CK3R5 get $10 every cycle. I ended the last mission with a couple of oil derricks providing me with cash ($200 per cycle, I don't know how often, though) and 20 Hackers.
It allowed me to build a couple of War Factories and a steady flow of Overlord tanks.

I'm playing the GLA campaign now.

The GLA are sneaky thieves. I mean, really. The following units: the Technical (a pickup with a machine-gunner in the back), the Marauder (a medium tank which requires a General's promotion to build), and the Quad Cannon (bigger pickup, 3 more machine guns for use against planes and choppers and soldiers) can get significant upgrades when they salvage enemy parts by running over the steel carcasses. (They look like crates, and salvaging them also gives the GLA money.) The Marauder gets more armor and two cannons at max, the Technical gets a rocket grenade attack, and the Quad Cannon's shots look like lasers. Plus, the GLA general has an ability to get cash bounties for each kill made, up to 50% of the destroyed unit's or structure's price, even soldiers. Add that to the Black Market, which gives a $20 tip every cycle, and you have a lot of money for your Scuds. I guess in this game, as well as in a certain Southeast Asian country, crime does pay.

Command and Conquer: Generals rocks! Easily the best Westwood game to ever hit the shelves! It's like a cross of Age of Mythology and Red Alert 2! Call in emergency repairs, artillery strikes, bombing runs, in synch with your particle satellite beams, missile strikes, and troop movements! I played it once and was instantly hooked.

OK. Enough about that.

And so on... You get the idea, right? It's just so much fun to flesh out the characterization, I don't think I want to (or can write) a coherent plot for this. But since when did that stop me?

My report is done. Yay!
I guess I'm not joining the Eng'g tourney. I mean, 300 bucks to lose? Buti sana kung isang daan lang. But that's my coward side speaking. If it's as cutthroat as I imagine it to be... plus, I don't have Caden Senn terrain yet. I'll just go check the armies out, and see what happens. Baka magbago pa ang isip ko.
Like, I have to watch this film in the Multimedia section for a Friday quiz. I plan to see it tomorrow, plus I have to write 10 Italian sentences for Thursday. Easy stuff, less than a day to do.
I am so out of ideas for my SpaceBar series. My Cascading Lemon story is also grinding to a halt. Damn.

Hi. I'm back again. De-bayad kasi yung kanina e. Ngayon nasa comp lab ako. Hehe. Libre at mabilis. Sarap. Astig yung prof ko. Sukat niya na 29 minutes lang siya na late, kaya hindi pa kami puedeng um-eject sa klase niya. I swear, the man is a genius. That's why we like his classes. I hear all sorts of weirdness from him, like why war is good for the economy.

Speaking of war, there's a MechWarrior tournament on Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2003 at the UP College of Engineering lobby. Entrance is 300 Php, top three get LE 5s. (Sigh.) If only I am sure of my army's performance.

Hi. Wala lang, just so I can say that I update this every so often. And BTW, a fellow writer was right. Ang kaunti ng lemons ng ST sa mediaminer.org 1 to be specific. I didn't bother reading the self-insert story. Paano kaya magpadala ng kuwento doon? Next time na lang siguro.

Arrivederci.
