Finished Halo : Contact Harvest

After reading the book for more than 1 month, I finally finished it. It was longer than I expected though, maybe because of the exams and games. When my friends started playing Red Alert 2, I joined in and played every time when there's a long break between lectures. For the exam, do I need to say more? Which 1 you would rather do? Study for exam or read how the first contact of humans and Covenant started?

I think the free 1 month Internet access for my phone also contributed to my increased duration of finishing the book. I was using the phone all time to surf the Internet at university, outside, anywhere when I'm bored. This makes me want to get a new phone since the screen on my phone is damn small, and it's not that enjoyable reading on phone(but it's bearable). I was thinking of getting QWERTY phone or touch screen phones to make web browsing easier, and to try out the new Opera Mini 5 too.



Now that Contact Harvest is done, there's still 1 more Halo book to finish. Colo Protocol is next on my list!

Eating Without PAYING (a.k.a stealing)

That's what happened in UCTI today. When I was in the cafeteria queuing up to pay my tab, I saw a middle-east guy ordered a spoonful of wedges on his plate of rice and began eating. I thought that maybe he just plain hungry, hence eating before paying the tab.

But when it was my turn to pay the tab, I saw that wedges have gone from his plate! I had a feeling that this guy wasn't going to admit that he ordered the wedges, since there weren't any on his plate. Too poor that you can't even pay for the wedges?

This action has put a new perspective in as to why the wedges are quite a bit expensive(you never gonna see me buying it). Is it because people been stealing the wedges, thus they increase the price to counter the loss? Or the price has always been like that, thus prompting people to steal it?

Damn...this thought reminds me of the piracy the game industry currently suffering. People pirate the game because it's expensive, because they are students, because this and that. To me, the reason is all the same, you do it because you can. You pirate the game because you can. You download all the movie because you can. Whatever reason they came up is just to justify themselves that it's alright to pirate what they what.

I hope that guy gonna get his punishment soon for stealing, by God or whoever or whatever.

Won a match against my friend in RA2 again~

Today during the 1 hour and 45 minutes break, I played RA2 : Yuri's Revenge on 1 vs 1 with my friend. It's really fun playing games with friends and WINNING against them. Their surprised and defeated faces are really worth it.

Today I played "Out of This World" map. And my faction was the Allied with the (useless) Grand Cannon. When I got into the map, I had a hard time deploying my MCV because of a stupid flag blocking the deployment. I moved a bit farther and still unable to deploy. I'm so pissed out that I just blew that stupid flag away and deployed back at the original place. And there goes my 30 second. Building up bases, getting engineers to capture the closest oil derrick, training IFV since just in case my friend sent rocketeers to screw my base.

With all that done, I began to create prism tank to blow up their $$ source (read : oil derricks). I sent 4 harriers to see if they can blew the oil derrick. And no, they can't (Black Eagle is way better). So I create another 4 harriers to blew them up. I sent my prism tank to destroy the outer oil derricks while letting the harriers to blew the ones on the inside. The chain reaction were just lovely.....3 oil derricks plus building beside it just BAM! Muahahaha!!! Even though non of my prism tank survived the ground retaliation, and 1 or 2 of my harriers went into oblivion, crippling his income is more than enough. Small price to pay for the shocked look on his face. HAHAHA~

Now that his economy was crippled, it's time to remove his Command Center. I created another extra 8 harriers to the total of 16 harriers, another 5++ prism tanks and 6++ IFVs.  The prism tanks and IFVs were just distraction, making him focused on the threat at hand than the 1 that is coming. Drawing his concentration (with a few tanks of mine blew up), I sent all the harriers that I had at that time(14 of them) straight to the Command Center. His forces were busy chasing my IFVs, too concentrated at destroying them than looking at the minimap for the RED DOTS flying towards his base. His Gap Generator did nothing to prevent my predators from seeking out their prey. Voila! Say bye bye to your Command Center~

Realizing that his has no $$ nor Command Center, he sent his tanks and battle fortress to my base in attempt to annihilate me. Luckily my prism towers made short work of their invasion. No base, No $$, and he surrendered.

And that was FUN~ I can't wait to play another RA2 match with them again~

Bought a new armor for my Assassin

Got bored of the Elite Assassin Armor. It looked so spiky and kinda thorny in my eyes, so I decided to change into something more subtle looking. That is.....Norn Assassin Armor!


Looks cool right? The brown colored armor is the Elite Assassin while the yellow-brown colored is Norn. I think yellow-brown being used on the armor makes it look a bit like gold.

I decided to make the Norn armor out of the all type of elite armor because I have plenty of cloth!

See how much there are? I have 2k of it and it keeps increasing non-stop. Most of the character that I made doesn't use armor made out of cloth (I play melee characters), which makes it increase even more. Now I'm rolling a Elementalist to earn $$ while make him to wear elite armor that uses cloth.

Another thing happens when I was taking the screenshot of my armor. Keiran suddenly comes in and talk to Gwen. And it's different dialogue too! I immediately wikied it and found out that ANet has added additional dialogue. It seems that the Logan from Guild Wars 2 might be the descendant of Gwen and Keiran.


I can't wait to play Guild Wars 2 to see if it's true!

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.

Busy Week

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.

Races of Guild Wars 2

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 :( )
