dfficulties in computing...

my laptop is suffering from massive retardation...can't even  do anything properly anymore...

takes 1 hour to startup, resume, sleep, or hibernate. it also repeatedly freezes up for a few seconds to a minute, no matter what im doing. it's especially annoying when im trying to watch anime, or watch youtube... the audio stutters and loops all weird before freezing up. i think it's something wrong with the hdd cache. but that's just a very wild guess based on the hdd gadget on the sidebar showing me massive read/write spikes from flat line to ceiling and then back down, whenever it gets choppy, while the actual numbers are always at 0B/s.
on top of that the weather is getting hot, combined with my badly ventilated room, i dont even feel like doing anything on the computer these days...
(^weird white highlight that i dont even care to fix)

been playing ff13 on ps3 instead. everybody says it's a bad game and they they should have made a movie instead. i can see why, but i personally don't feel the same. i think as an FF game they might have dropped the ball, but as a story based single player game it's still entertaining overall. even though it's so fulled with cutscene, i dont think it could translate into a movie. i think they should've made a TV series of it with an accompanying novel series lol.
im not finished with it, but that's what i think of it so far. it's totally worth playing for the story imo...at least up to where i'm at XD

oh yes, and my compressor died before i got to paint with it...died spraying the dust from another computer
-_-

it all sounds kind of emo, not that i really feel that way.

here's a cool song for anyone that had nothing better to do and actually read all that junk ^

an original song by a vocaloid song writer for an awsome nico singer that sings in english. with new york accent =D

Been Lazy

playing too much league of legends...trying to get my win of the day...only to end up going on a losing streak...=(

Sony strikes back?

a few weeks ago, i discovered that lbp karting was announced. i thought it was the coolest idea ever. even if it was just a rip of mario kart, the idea of using lbp as the theme is the best thing that could ever happen =D

honestly, it looks beautiful

its even gonna come with a kevin butler costume as pre-order bonus. you will literally be able to drive like a baus lollollololololololololol




anyways, yesterday i discovered another nintendo ripoff game was just announced. this time it's playstation all-stars battle royale. a clone of super smash bros



honestly, it looks so similar, i can't even call this a ripoff, or a clone game... it looks more like a skin mod




everything from the art style, controls, physics, HUD, interactive maps, items... it all looks the same
the one notable difference is the victory condition. rather than beating people off screen, or by a conventional hp bar, this game is going with a power meter build up that gives you instant killing supermoves. it will be the only way to kill someone... not sure i like that idea. the fun of knocking people away and seeing them bounce around as you build up damage in ssb was what made it so fun.

a second, not-as-important feature, is that each map, including the design, interactive elements, bgm, will not be based on a single game. instead it will be a mashup from two different games. it's an interesting way to pay homage to different games, but not so game changing.

nevertheless, im excited about what characters it might include.
so far revealed are:
kratos from god of war - personally, i don't like that game, so meh...lol
sly cooper - never played it, but he seems cool. apparently they took out his blocking ability and gave him invisibility instead
parappa the rapper - kick, punch, block...lmao only ever tried the demo, but i like him =D
fat princess - srsly?
sweet tooth - the crazy clown dude from twisted metal, which i know nothing about
radec from killzone - he's a memorable super difficult (at least on hard mode) final boss of an fps that's actually a normal person rather than giant machine or monster...but where is sev, the protagonist??

based on the few revealed maps, we have some other franchises that we know are included, and can easily guess what other characters might be present:
lbp/buzz - it would be a dumb idea for sackboy not to be playable...while buzz the trivia game show guy will probably remain as some background guy on the map
god of war/patapon - kratos is already in, patapon i dont think so...unless pikmin/olimar clone?
ratchet and clank/god of war - if ratchet and clank are not playable...then i don't even...
jak and daxter/some game i dont recall - jak and daxter were like the mascots of ps2...they're a given right?

of course that is not the entire roster. more will be revealed, and they have already promised third party characters will be included.

as per usual, everyone has their own whishlist for these things. here's mine - and some good ones that everyone wants:
crash banidcoot - from what i've seen, he's the most wanted, and with good reason. although he's not longer a playstation exclusive, he was a star when he was there
spyro - probably the second most wanted, same deal as above
jack mcready - i heard somebody suggested the male character from dead nation. honestly, i wouldnt think he deserves it, but if fat princess got in, and sony gave out millions of free copies of dead nation after they got hacked, it wouldnt be a surprise that he's there
lara croft - the tomb raider, she was a mascot for ps1, no?
solid snake - who doesnt know him, and where did he get famous?
sir daniel fortesque - the jawless skeleton knight you play as in medievil. one of my favourite games and characters of all time. he may not be as famous as he should be because sony let the franchise die off and then gave it a terrible psp remake, but he'll always have a special place in my gamer heart. =D i'd say, he'd be a pretty good link clone, if not better
samanosuke akechi - the guy from onimusha on the ps2. another one of my favs. capcom's feudal japan version of resident evil, except there's less scare and more fun. =D he'd totally play like marth and ike, but his swords could also let him swap movesets and playstyle like pokemon trainer
yoshimitsu - tekken was a pretty memorable franchise for playstation. so what candidate from it would be more unique and not just another hunk of muscle in a fighting game? obviously it's yoshimitsu. he's my favourite fighting game character, because he's got a very unique and recognizable style as well as being the goodest good guy there ever can be, especially his soul calibur incarnation =D.
nathan drake - uncharted is an obvious choice, no?
cole mcgrath - the infamous electric man, even more obvious choice for a brawler, no?
nathan hale - resistance, another obvious one
joseph capelli - moar resistance
emette graves - the starhawk dude, would make for a nice promo for both games lol
cloud strife - duh
sephiroth - like how can they not?
toro and kuro - playstation cats anyone? pair them up like ice climbers? lol

what else did i miss? admittedly i don't know every playstation game, but i tried...lol

a wipeout map would be a nice f-zero ripoff =D
a super stardust map would seem like a good idea, and would be beautiful.
these two maps have a chance since they were also given out after psn got hacked. super stardust delta is currently also psvita's flagship game, so i t makes sense to include it =D

i guess that's all for now... and nobody is really going to read all this...if anyone even comes by lolololololololololololololololololololooololololololololololololoolololol

ps maybe i'll explain why i think sony is striking back in a different post. it's not as simple as stealing a couple games from nintendo =)

Lost Planet is back - to the past!

Lost Planet 3 is set for early next year and will be a prequel to the first game.


it seems they have gotten a western developer to make the game and done away with the japanese style pretty boys, crisp but flaky graphics, awkward dialogue dubs, and the dramatic yet stiff body motions/animations. instead, it's become gritty and chunky with fluid animations and natural sounding dialogue. =D

apparently this time, it will be more story driven and focuses on the one main character, so there will not be story co-op. instead, they will reveal a new co-op and competitive multiplayer modes later on. it seems that instead of being missions and chapters, the story will be more of a hub and branching area exploration/survival kind of game where you have to collect upgrades and equipment to progress further.

mech piloting is back and although will be a more primitive unweaponized mining bot, it's much more massive and will feature first person piloting. i wonder how that will turn out. =D
one slight disappointmet i have is that the game seems to be excluding the grapple hook thing(think it was called anchor, but w/e), i hope i'm wrong because that thing made the game much more fun, and would be even more so if given quicker and more fluid mechanics.

so far, im liking all the changes, except for the story no longer being co-op. but if the co-op mode has splitscreen and has a lot of replay value, then i'll be content.

i love splitscreen co-op games with story and objectives, and there aren't enough of those around, especially with mechs and grapple hooks. lost planet 2 has a special place in my heart, despite the all the flaws it's got, it's tons of fun =D. im totally looking forward to this one =D

Calamity in the sky?!

who says calamity gundam can't fly in the atmosphere? it even has a flight mode!

this is what happens when you are too lazy to build your kits and get me to build them for you. it gets sloppily slapped together and doesn't get assembled properly =D

Me noticing stuff coinciding again.

this time it's relevant to this blog because there is pewpewpew involved =D

there are unrelated ads that use the same good old music cause it's good
then are video game trailers that the use the same song out of the blue both for the sake of being obnoxious and are released exactly one week from each other. -_-






seriously, lolwut?
gearbox did it for teh lulz, but why you do this bamco?

Grrrr!!!! Why does life gotta be like dat??

was gonna finish my vf-27 this week
but then my computer went dumb after a graphics driver update, so i had to spend a few days trying to fix it. in the process of that, i discovered my system restore is a dud. it does nothing and doesnt work and loses restore points for no reason. so now that i got my graphics fixed, i need to fix my system restore...

when first got my graphics back to normal (which turned out to take nothing more than deleting the driver itself and letting it install and update again -_-), i was about to rejoice when i accidentally whacked the vf-27 and gave it a desk dive >_>
the microscopic points on the right cannards broke of, but i found them. on the other hand, the antenna at the top of the head snapped in half and one side flew somewhere which i can't find. so now i've got these near impossible repairs i need to do...all of which comes after i turn my room upside-down to find the missing piece, while dealing with a defunct system restore.

yay me! =D

old school ipod shuffle for size reference

the inverse of unicorn's javelin

here's how FA unicorn's hyper javelin/halberd thingy looks(pic stolen from gaijin gunpla)


and here's what is speculated to be the newest incarnation of the moonlight blade in armored core 5
the beams have the same streak effects, even though they are coming out of the opposite side. (i forgot where i stole these acv pics)


even the hinge on the javelin looks like the handle on this

i should stop noticing these really pointless things...

big bro has arrived

forgot to say in my last post

while i was gone, i went half way around the world to retrieve this guy


he's the boss of all gunpla in my collection.
this was my first gunpla. i got him when he first came out, and i didn't even know. i was just i wee little man when i built him.
fyi this is the original gundam mkII, this is not 2.0

im surprised he still stands, and i expected more missing parts. as it is now, the missing parts are not so obvious, but still, i wan't to have him fully complete and cleaned up eventually. i can do a putty recast for the missing bits, but the vulcan pod is completely missing and i don't know what to do about it. =(

anyone have an extra one lying around that they want to donate to me? =D

random pointless thing i discovered

i was randomly listening to yoppie's version of meltdown when i suddenly realized  one of the random jingles he added to the song sounded like the aquarion op, so i went on youtube to check

what i discovered was some really weird coincidence...or more likely an intentional easter egg
in both songs, the music fades out and the vocalist goes solo and sings the verse at exactly 3 minutes and 57 seconds into the song.
i say "into the song" instead of giving the time of the video because in the aquarion video the music starts at 0.9 seconds while meltdown starts right away. but in the aquarion video, the singing starts 0.9 seconds late at 3:57. so if you account for the time from the start of the video to when the music actually starts, the timing is dead on in a rather scary way.
what's more is that the aquarion song had to be the live version where there is an extended intro for this to work. the original cd version doesn't have this intro and so the song is shorter so the timing doesn't line up at all.

i guess that's enough of me ranting about nothing.
see for yourself

note: sure yoppei sings faster, but the point is the time that he starts singing it





p.s. i should win a prize for being so awsome and noticing something so pointless =D

I'm back

for a few days already...
but im being very lazy again...
plus jet lag...

and the air is toxic
i've got a sore throat
and im on the verge of getting sick
the only thing that's keeping me from dying
is a respirator i got on my trip =D
