日常生活

I like to read. Books, magazines, comics, you name it (as long as the topic's within interrest). I usually read a few pages before going to sleep, or fall asleep reading (either way).

I don't like laying on my back, because my bed don't allow for half-sitting, so there's no comfort in doing so, resorting to laying on my stomach. Every now and then I've found that when I'm half asleep while reading, and stubborn enough to try and fight it (but losing), I lock my neck and shoulders to keep my head up, close my eyes to doze of for a few, and......unvoluntarily hold my breath. Wtf!?

It's kind of scary, actually. Every time I wake up with a gasp and my eyes go O_O as I draw a deep breath, trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

Is my body perhaps trying to kill me?

My brother and two of my co-workers bought FarCry2 the other day (one got it for the PS3, sigh). and after having tried it (and also from one of my co-workers bullying me), I decided to buy it myself. As I don't have an awesome computer (well, if I could just get new RAM, a better cpu and a new gfx card...) I got it for the Xbox 360. As I don't have an Xbox 360, I had to order one of those as well. Yip yip.

The game looks really pretty. The African savanna and jungles have been heaps of fun to destroy, mostly by grenades or Molotov cocktails as I haven't acquired a flamethrower just yet. It's just a shame that the fires don't spread as much as they ought to; the ground is dry most of the time, we should have massive massive forest fires. But no, they burn for a little while, spread to maybe double the initial impact spot, and then....go out. Meh.

One of the first quests I obtained were by a man with a tape recorder. He apparently give tapes away to a bunch of other people, who then destroy them (or so I understood it), but when he saw that I was "new" he babbled on a bit before giving me another quest, finishing with the line "I meant what I said about the tapes". I walked around the room a bit, and he kept repeating that line. "I meant what I said about the tapes.........."

I got it already, lets talk about something new...

I just finished downloading and applying patch 3.0.2 for World of Warcraft. It's pretty exciting, I wanna explore the new stuff, the new talents and the newly added harbour!

Apparently I can't, not just yet though. I can't seem to connect to any servers.. "Technical problems with the battlegroup..." Bah!

Finally I can make use of Ogremound again. I'll be merging both my blogs into this one (but keep the warcraft related a bit separate, still)... I'll be posting screens of various things, mostly for my own amusement (because I mean, who else would see them?).

Edit:

- I can connect to my server now, but I can't really do anything, it's plagued by lag (massive, massive lag).

- My friendlist have vanished?! :'((

Edit2:

- If you look in the navigation, there's now a new link pointing to my Warcraft posts. Check it out!

I bought Mega Man 9 last night and it pretty much blew my mind.

Actually, I blew. I've never been very good at any of the Mega Man games (excepting maybe Mega Man 3), and even though I only played for a short while before stepping off to order some pizzas, I hardly made it through half a level.

Ok, so the MM games are generally tricky the first couple of times you play, before you get a feel for the controls or the enemy movements. I found the controls to be a little funky, playing with the Wiimote. The 1 and 2 buttons feels to small and positioned too close together, and the controller itself is (in my opinion) too thin to hold in this manner, especially for a game like this where one has to be quick or be dead.

The game looks and behaves exactly like it would have, had it been released on the Nes back in the days. The graphics and sound are both gorgeous. Even the flickering sprites that haunted the Nes is present, which shows that they've nailed this game down to the floorboards... The flickering can be turned off, however! What a relief!
