going to UWA tomorrow to catch up with people and for massive leeching (about 12 series to get from the clubroom computer hopefully they are on there or Rui will be in the clubroom :/) err of course the real reason is to attend the Microsoft XNA programming conference =P
Might as well bring my DS and mingle with other people's like Sally, apparently some pins in 'The World Ends WIth You' can only evolve through DS-DS mingling pp. Speaking of pins, the jelly one - ranked 'reaper' (you scratch an empty space on the screen to generate electricity) even though you can get it pretty early in chapter 2, is very broken, like - being able to easily play through the game on lvl1 on hard mode broken :/
SooOOoO what have I done today? I ate out! Went to a chinese bbq house in Joondalup, think its called Chinese Palace or something. Its a really good place, I've been to a lot of bbq houses but they are about the only ones who can pull off a good fried boneless lemon chicken. So here are the ratings:
Lemon Chicken - When I buy this i expect it to be CRISPY unlike some restaurants - Girraween so :up:
BBQ pork with Chow Mein - bah this was kind of average, I forgot what Chow Mein was so bought it out of curiosity XD
Spicy Mongolian Lamb - Yep, this restaurant is able to pull it off, a lot of others = tough meat but joondalup's got it tender.
Deep Fried Squid with spices - This was really expensive but I enjoyed it, the spices they added it to it reminded me of Hois Kitchen. And of course like I said to numerous people when Hois Kitchen in Northbridge closed down a couple of years ago a part of me died, because dim sum is never going to be quite as awesome =( but yeah this came close but the squid pieces were pretty big, though it was to be expected since this was a chinese BBQ house and not a dim sum lunchbar.

This azn guy hops on to the same bus as me, shows a $50 note because that is all he had on him. Busdriver: "Sorry but I'm not allowed to give change from a $50 note". So he gave the entire $50. I hope he enjoyed his 15min $50 cramped bus trip =P
anyway in the city some foundation and EB were working together for charity. They auctioned off Brain Training. I got the bid up to $20 but decided to let some random woman take it with $21 =P Also got a chance to play Mario Kart wii while I was there it was REALLY awesome. This is how Mario Kart should be played, except steep turns in mountainous areas are pretty damn hard because of how sensitive the wii remote is =P |

3 weeks until the end of the semester lots of assignments due, and my c++ compiler isn't working anymore on Microsoft Visual 6, express edition 2008 and even DEV-C bloodshed. I can see a large word floating in the air above me, it spells the word "SCREWED".
Time for mass uninstalling and reinstalling and googling -_- |

Went to a uni m8's house where my group started progress on our pool table game/err 3D interaction which is due in 4 weeks at the end of the semester. We made a surprisingly good start. Someone in the group (theres just the 3 of us) is an absolute mathematics and programming prodigy so he managed to get collision detection working - so the ball doesn't go through another ball or through the table into an infinite space, this is probably the toughest part of the entire thing because it requires a great deal of maths and some physics modelling and to get it done in our first real attempt at the project is really awesome. Anyway we delegated the tasks, he is doing the logic design and programming, other group member is doing the physical programming, texturing and lighting and I'm doing the camera and interactivity programming, I have a great deal of interest in 3D cameras/viewports and motion, things like that. Anyway we did the work from 1-6 then thought we'd stop for the time being and played some Smash melee which I really have played to death to the point of not being as good as I used to be due to boredom.
Also check out Erin's (AMV studio member's) new AMV :D -

Argh I knew this was going to happen, the game is by the maker of Kingdom Hearts so I should have expected some bonuses to collect =| Well I'm in chapter 2 now so probably too late to collect the chapter 1 ones, I'll just gamefaqs and read the contents of the ones I missed *reads the first* oh geez these are really like Ansem reports, I can tell there will be a sequel, or something left unexplained in the game :/ Anyway last boss of chapter 1 was too easy, I think I'm overleveled - lvl20 at the end of chapter 1, been killing everything and fighting bosses level 1 though, not that hard once you evolve the ice attack and get the second version up to level 8. Erm the plot twist about Shiki gave off a lot of Digimon series 1 vibes, inner conflicts etc XD But digimon 1 and 2 were awesome =D Joshua... is not cool. Chapter 2 = rap music.
And thank you for reading an LJ entry where you have no idea what I'm talking about, now go get the game =P
PS: Alyssea lets mingle sometime =D |

Okay so for the past year I've been basically bitching to people about how slow my laptop is becoming, and even contemplated buying a desktop comptuer because I suddenly had the follow restrictions:
Cannot watch an MKV/MP4 H264 AMV or fansub with a resolution greater than 704 x 400.
Cannot edit an AMV with anything except MJPEG.
Cannot do common things with my laptop while a virus scan is happening.
Well one year later, this very moment, I've discovered the problem: Acer laptops have Acer ePower management and there is this option which asks you to specify CPU power when the battery is at certain level. And I see that I somehow, probably accidentally have low setting - pretty much 0% of total CPU potential activated when battery is at 100%. So I drag the bar right across to the right to "high power" and suddenly everything is working great. I don't even get a delay when I try to skim through a large file in VLC player.
I kinda knew I did something like this, been talking to people who were able to view these things on a pentium 3 or 4 and I'm on a dual core 1.
Well err I guess at least I saved a lot of electricity and the bill could have been a lot higher :/ No more avis for me \o/ *watches lag-free Attack of the Otaku for the very first time* |

Summary: last 5mins of Code Geass S2 - 03 was leaked.
Taken from Random Curiosity:
"According to a 2ch post, one of the staff members was arrested, and episode three may not air this weekend (to be decided tomorrow). Supposedly the alternatives are to air either a shortened version of the episode four or nothing at all this weekend while they remake episode three. That’s very disturbing news to say the least, but I can understand why they might feel inclined to do that since the leaked part does have some huge spoilers for the entire episode. And given that they’re thinking about remaking some of it, it’s not even clear if the leaked part is canon anymore. In any case, an official announcement will probably come in the next 24 hours, and I’ll be sure to update this post" |

What the SHIT is this gameshow? For the sake of money lives and marriages can be completely ruined, actually that guy just then probably just fucked up his entire marriage with the question to get him $100k - "have you ever had sex with your friend's wife?" "yes" "that answer is.... true" ~_~ he bailed out and didn't want to go for the 200k question but hasn't he already done the most damage he can possibly do to himself :/ |

I'm hating Empire Toys so much at the moment. From the January issue of Megami there has been something I really really want and they stopped supplying the start of the year. Couldn't they stop the Japanese Newtypes instead? ;_; March, April and May issues have a lot of Shana and Clannad freebies x_X
Edit: Ah crap theres also a nice kimikiss poster in this months edition :/
I may have to consider buying online |

Naruto manga chapter 397 - big plot twist at the end, I kind of expected it but I doubt many people did especially considering the battle which took place the past 5 or 6 chapters, they'll explain it in more detail in the next chapter in 2 weeks. Sasuke's part in the story is so much more interesting than Naruto. Naruto = anti-climatic lead character.
Bleach manga is currently having a flashback arc which is also interesting (heh Bleach = interesting is a surprise) and its about when certain captains were lieutanants and certain characters were captains...
So yeah, Naruto > Bleach =P |

I'm starting to get really irritated that 99% of songs are about relationships, broken hearts and sex. Even metal bands like Sonic Syndicate - doesn't fit in with the sound and form of the song (croaky voice nature of metal music) but the lyrics are there -_- And yes I'm trying to make an action vid and this is one hurdle I still can't break out of *continues getting albums AtomX linked him too hoping to find something different for a change*. Surely there are heaps of other issues songs can explore? I mean humans experience more emotions than love, jealousy, heartbreak etc :/ Song searching sux.
I guess I have 2 choices:
1: Ignore the fact that the chorus is as following:
"Be my prize, don't go, don't leave my eyes
Only for tonight
Give me life, hold on, don't close your eyes
Not before tonight"
2. Turn the vid into a yaoi AMV. |
