Edit:
Today is the 29th of July 2006. Haven't been able to update my Livejournal lately because I'm busy playing aRO. My brother is currently staying over at my house in Sunway. Plus, my final project's animation has started. I will find time to continue to update next month. Btw, my birthday is on the 3rd next month!


As for aRO, I now have 3 characters. A gunslinger (Nautilus), a dexterity based wizard (Aurelius), and a Teakwondo Boy (Baldric). I am thinking of making one more special character just to party with my friend,
We'll be waiting for you~


I was lucky to meet Sara-chan, the administrator of aRO to discuss about the in-game implementations of skill balancing and new profession issues, mainly the Gunslinger and the Ninja classes. Who would have thought that eventually she turned me into a 'poring'. -_-
I saw "Ouran High School Host Club" last Saturday and I burst out laughing non-stop when Haruhi's dad finally revealed himself to be an Okama, a transvestite. Well, luckily he's pretty albeit the thick lipsticks. Also, I'm relieved that Haruhi led a normal life and not overly poor like in Tamaki's dream nightmare. Its a pretty good episode too counting on how they manage to cramp so much into a single episode.

Well, thats all for updates today. I really hope I can post more soon. Until then, I hope both good and bad things keep happening! You can't really have only one scenario over the other right?
I've manage to grab a copy of PSM's (Independant Playstation Magazine) July 2006 issue 112. What's so special about this magazine is that they cover (well, Big Boss is featured on their cover) an extensive field of games for Sony's Playstation console and handheld series. Here are some of the summarized highlights from PSM's latest.
Apparently, Hideo Kojima of Konami is going to release another Metal Gear Solid game entitled Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PSP. This game picks up where MGS3 left off, in other words, a full sequel for Sony's handheld. This time, players get to control Snake (Big Boss) and Raiden in full Metal Gear Solid playing style. No more cards!


As for Metal Gear Solid 4, Hideo Kojima promised Raiden would be cool. He's downright awesome and so it appears that they have a new nickname for Raiden. PSM said that they are now inclined to call him "Awesome Raiden" because he's just plain awesome. Sadly, in an interview with Kojima, he stated that we cannot play "Awesome Raiden" in the game like how we play Snake, Kojima designed the character in a way we couldn't play him. At least he's not a "girl" now.

Some news on the upcoming PS3. In my previous post, we know that the new controller supports Blue Tooth technology and features motion sensors to enhance gameplay. Now the full specs of the PS3 controller are revealed. The new controller now features broader analog sticks, new L2 and R2 buttons, USB charge cable plug, player indicator lights, motion sensors, preasure sensitive buttons and no more vibration ala Dual Shock. Yes, no more Dual Shock vibrations as this will interupt the 6 degrees motion sensor feature. And as for those who didn't know, the Playstation and PS2 Dual Shock controllers are the best in gaming history. So for those who still want design and diversity, mainly prefer the wacky boomerang controller, try the XBox 360 instead.

We should also be aware that Sony will launch its PS3 in two versions. One with 20GB hard disk and the other, 60GB. The price for the 20GB and 60GB HDD PS3 will be priced aproximately $500 USD and $600 USD (that's about RM2300+) respectively with lots of changes in its hardware and looks. The cheaper version will only get you a bare-bones version of the console while the real deal will get you a 60GB HDD instead of the 20GB one, Wi-Fi, an HDMI port, a slick chrome PS3 logo and faceplate and slots for Memory Stick, SD, and compactFlash cards. That's a lot to give up if you can't afford the extra hundred. (I'll get the later version if I were you!).
Last but not least, we all know that Sony will be more likely to win the console war with Microsoft and Nintendo but as this war comes to an end, a new war has risen from the ashes. Now it will be Blue Ray versus HD-DVD (High-Definition DVD). I personally hope that the Blue Ray will triumph, as with that win over HD-DVD, Sony will secure a winning streak of the next-gen gaming warfare. ^_^

Just this morning, before the movie (well, we failed to catch the movie) but I managed to download and watch 'Ouran High School Host Club' episode 9. It was interesting and hillarious because you get to see the hosts as 'onesama(s)'. I had a really good laugh! ^_^
Nikorasu's note to anti-christ: If you dare to destroy all creation upon my beloved planet, you'll have to face me first! (uh-well... in the online world that is!)
By the way, Paris Hilton released her first fragrance line, 'Just Me For Men' a few months back which, to my surprise was very successful. Now, a second line of fragrance 'Just Me For Women' was released. What makes me highlight this in my LJ was the tagline that most ads refer as "Smell like Paris Hilton". WTF, who would want to smell like her? Well, despite my claims, I bet many girls and
I think I'm struck with minor insomnia for not going to bed early because I'm typing this entry and worried of a few things but I guess its alright as long as the problems doesn't get out of hand. Like my star sign Leo the 3rd reveals, I have a tendency to move very fast in life and be extremely lucky (you have no idea about this) and able to rise from the ashes to come back stronger than ever. Lets just say I have a reliable source on these kind of things. ^_^







I got hooked to the couple dance battle and continued to battle countless couples with different partners. I did so-so on just about every battle until I met another player by the name 'Activegirl'. She danced and syncs so well to the point that I got 7 hearts, it even beats my record with 'Wolfcub' so far! At the end of the dance, we hugged each other as a job well done! Cute huh?
*There is one part where 'Activegirl' performed a finishing move where she spins and twirls upside down on the ground, an opponent girl on the other side yelled, "Oh my God, don't look!" She was refering to my dance partner's miniskirt! LOL*

*No classes tomorrow but I've got to sell foodstuffs to raise funds for my Graduation Campaign. Finally, I'm reaching my goal after a long wait due to unforseen circumstances and hindrance from my personal demons.*
More about the movie and its summary can be read at Wikipedia. Also be sure to play the official movie game of X-Men: The Last Stand because it holds a crucial plot before the events that occur in the movie and explains Nightcrawler's absence. Spoiler: Yuriko a.k.a. Lady Deathstrike was alive in the game. The adamantium liquid that Wolverine forced upon her in the previous movie seemed to make her stronger than ever. However, in the game you'll defeat her and pursue her teacher, Silver Samurai.
I found that X-Men: The Last Stand to be the final installment of the trilogy as said by Brett Ratner himself. But an interview with Patrick Steward and Halle Berry said that the ending where Erik Lansher nudged his metal chess piece without touching it indicates that the so called permanent cure was actually a temporary suppresant to disable mutant activties and the clip after the credits shows us how Charles Xavier survived, leaves the franchise open. That means, if the 3rd movie was successful, there is a chance that a fourth will complete the series as a quadrilogy. Before that happens, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Despite the ups and downs, pros and cons of the debate between fans about Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner. I guess that the 3rd movie did pretty well overall. It is what that matters in the end.


Now, back to potion. Like me,

*A bottle of FFXII Potion: USD 7.99, Shipping costs: USD 11.00, watching
Well, I do hope one day we can still get together more often to do something silly like this. Nonetheless, it is safe to announce that they too

The moment I got the potion out of the box (Yeah, I bought the premium edition!), I felt excited but in the same time, worried. It was those incoherent commercials and fan recorded movies in the United States that made the potion felt comparable to a rancid milk flavoured mouth wash a.k.a. yogurt flavoured Listerine health drink.
After I tried the first sip from the cup, it tasted not bad at all. I was surprised that it felt flowery and fruity. "Damn those Americans! They can't even take a bite from a durian, who are they to judge a health drink meant for asians!" Finally,
Before that, on Saturday, the minute I reached Penang, I gave
The moment when we reached his house, it was already packed with his relatives and family members. We did recieved a warm welcome though. Justin played with Bobby, the family cat, I collected my potion which cost me quite a lot of gil, we all tried out everything the caterers had to offer and explored the house inside out including



*In the end, it all turned out perfect!*
My friend Sam, is organizing an event in his college entitled "KDU Anime X Cosplay Omatsuri" which is likely to be held on the 11th of June this year. At this point, the venue will be held in KDU college's hall while the date and time is uncertain.
As I went to help out, I was enroled as a judge for the manga/anime drawing competition (one of the few

Mary Magdalene was known by many names and was widely known as a prostitude by the Christians mainly because she was mistaken, confused with another two women in the Gospels. She was also known as one of the apostle, a person that witnessed Jesus's crucifixion and so on. This later led me to create one female priest in Ragnarok Online named after her.
As I watched 'The Da Vinci Code' premiere today with
"Mary Magdalene of Magdala... you will always have a place in my heart!"
"I'm going to stick to aRO until RO2 comes out! Two times drop rate is a lot! At least its FREE and lag FREE! I have all the time in the world to play, so relax! yadayadayada..."
It sounded as if he still has dignity in playing RO. It was admirable that he didn't 'bot', but what difference does that make? "You are becoming the very thing you swore to hate!" But I rather say: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" For GOD's sake, you don't need to torture yourself through leveling like you did in mRO, I said to him. I tried talking him out of it but to no avail. Alas, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, or so they say. "At least his intentions were pure."
There was a reason for
Well, having said so much and did so little, I prefer to stop ranting about RO and focus more on my daily updates.
Sony announced that the PS3's controller will contain many of the same functions as Nintendo's Wii controller. What pleases me the most was the design of the final product itself. It, in many ways resembled the PS2 Dual-Shock controller.
