When there’s nothing to do other than gaming and reading books…..

Anyway, I went to watch Zombieland yesterday. And I must say, it’s very funny, at the same time it’s quite exciting too. Shooting zombie non-stop. That is cool!

As this movie is for above 18, I had some……difficulties trying to buy the ticket. That ticket seller don’t believe I’m an adult, but a god-damned teenager. I have to stress again and again I’m 19 and I can watch the movie then only he let me purchase the ticket. A$$hole. Maybe I should dye my hair again….

Back to Guild Wars. With Twinkies on the table.

Last week was a busy week……went to attend my relative wedding at 7 in the morning. Which in my opinion, is a crazy time. That’s the time when people should still swimming in their dreams! Anyway, seems like the Chinese culture requires both the bride and the groom to give the older senior(their uncle, aunties and parents) tea to drink.

Enough about that. I went to farm Luxons points during the weekend since they awarded 2x the points you normally get. I farm about 1~2 hours in the US server. Needless to say, the distance between Malaysia and US is rather huge. I always lag a few steps when fighting with the other team. Thanks to that, I think I’m the reason why my team always lose

At least I get my title track to level 2 though. Coupled with other quests that offer Luxon points, I finally reached level 3. I was aiming for level 4 since the Luxon skill, Elemental Lord, has a recharge time of 45 second.  My level 3 title will give me a duration of 44 secs, while level 4 will give 47 secs. With level 4 I will be able to keep the enchantment up indefinitely. But I will leave that to next time. Level 3 is already eating much of my concentration.

Here’s a picture of my Assassin titles.

That the video of the races in Guild Wars 2. All of them looks beautiful and cool in their own way, but the Asura looks a bit like goblin, albeit it’s a cute goblin.

The first character I’m gonna create is a Charr when I get my hands on it!(Which is like 2011 )

Just got back from Big Bad Wolf Books in Amcorp Mall. Compared to the last 1, it’s kinda small though. At first I was kinda afraid that the books that I want, forgotten realms and other game books will be sold out. But after reading some blog about the same books fair, my fears were elevated. Seems like there’s not much people want that kind of genre anyway.

As least they did separate the genre though, such as childrens, romance and fictions. There’s a computer section too, with programming books and all that, but that section hardly have any people looking at it, even though they are right in front of the entrance. 2 tables full of programming books and nobody touch it. No surprise.

As for me, I almost buy every book that have the forgotten realms title on it. After serious considerations, I only bought a few, and praying that these books got good reviews. I also bought Magic the Gathering novels too, as they seems interesting. What piss me off the most is that the books they sell…there book 1 and book 2, but no book 3. Or there’s book 2 and 3, but not 1. Even so, that doesn’t deter my choice. I thought that next time any book sale or fair that come out I can get the remaining book.

That’s the books that I got from there. From the Amazon reviews, seems like my choice aren’t that bad after all. RM 56 for 7 books, not bad not bad. And having to carry the books without a box, I really got bitten with a wrist pain ==

As always, it’s a pleasure going to Big Bad Wolf Books. The next 1 should be in May then, I hope

See you again BBWB~

Do you always read what’s inside the dialog box when you play Role-Playing video games such as Dragon Age : Origins, Mass Effect? For me, I read every letter of it cause it looks interesting, not to mention the lore really sucks you in. Sometimes the options you can choose produce a rather…interesting after effects, like the Commander Shepard could either ignore a maniac mumbling something or beat him just to shut him up(I choose the latter). Needless to say, beating people will get more reactions out of the game

Although Guild Wars is also a RPG (CORPG to be specific), there are only 2 options, either yes or no. But how they present the options are rather funny…

It’s been really ‘rainy’ these days, and as I’m typing this post I didn’t even open the fan. It’ just cold. Waste my time going back and forth to the toilet >< I still have exams! While my place is rainy, lucky my house is suited just at the foothill, so there will be no way of flooding in my area. Bad luck to those who at the Kelantan though.

Crap…gotta go to toilet again….

Poor Midas (my necromancer in Guild Wars). I guess it’s worth going vegetarian a day for the good of earth (or Tyria in this case).

Well…there’s Earth Hour, Earth Day and now World Meatless Day. Is there any day for earth that I missed out?

Never thought that eating meat will slowly kill the earth. Not to mention slowly killing us too. I guess I have to reduce my meat consumption, so I live longer, to play more GAMES!

Anyway, I hope you guys take part in the World Meatless Day though, so that the Earth will live longer, and I can play my games longer before the earth dies out. Especially Guild Wars

If you haven’t been following them in the facebook or twitter, this would have been an old news. I still remember the last Big Bad Wolf Books. It’s a heaven for book lovers! Every fiction books at RM8, hardcover or softcover, trade paperbacks or not. I bought so much that I haven’t even finished them >< (I read at a rate of 1~2 chapters per day before I went to sleep). After that I went to many booksale/fairs, not even 1 come close to the PRICE and VOLUME of the books. And now that Big Bad Wolf Books is back again…it’s time to lighten my wallet~

Anyway, the time and venue is as follow, for all book lovers, be sure not to miss it!

Prepared to get “bitten” with wrist pain for carrying too much books!

P.S. : Recent my host TNN got a Denial of Service attack which causes my site to down for around 1 week perhaps. Curse the 1 who started it!

Linus Torvalds, the creator of GNU/Linux is giving a thumbs up to the newly launched Windows 7. The store was just across the street from Japan Linux Symposium.

But of course, it’s a gag. And Linus DID NOT buy Windows 7 from there.

Click here for the original post.

This post is to promote the book “Why I Skipped Class”.

Side note : TNN restored my last post but unable to save this post. So I have to post it again, excluding the comments.

When I saw the thread title “Why I Skipped Class” in LYN Literary Lounge(by the way, this section is like the least entertained), I quickly click on it and read it. With a free ebook to download(though only the 1st section), I read it from 1 end to the other with great interest. I can relate it to me as how I really hate going to school only to sleep on it. If I can opt not going to school, I will. But alas, the missing attendance was going to eat my overall marks in my high school. And now I’m in uni, not having at least 80% attendance rate will not garner me a place in the exam hall

The book also touched the issue of whether being in the last class means that you are intellectually inferior. In my opinion, if you got a brain that can stored a lot of memory, you’re getting a place in the first class for sure. The education system only rewards those who can memorizes the best, like the god-damn Bio and Chinese lessons. We even have to memorize the formula for the mathematics and physics(That’s for the UEC exam). For Pete’s sake, I thought the most important thing is how you USE it, not how you MEMORIZE it?

Anyway, the book is an eye-opener. You can go to the site here to get the ebook and read more about it.

Out of the topic, I got a damn feeling that some one ate my last post “Magic : The Harvesting”. You are testing my patience…TNN…
