AFA 09 Updates

Ok, as mentioned in the latest post in my blog, I've managed to secure a ticket (Row A Seat 7, front row ticket ^_^) to the first day (21st, Saturday) of the I Love Anisong concert, which means I'll be catching Ichirou Mizuki, Shoko Nakagawa, and of course, Hatsune Miku, my main reason for going. Now all that's left is to collect the concert ticket from God-Knows-Where in KL, work out the bus ticket to Singapore, lodging details with my friend in Singapore, and packing up.

It is still a month away, but since I'm in a good mood from getting such a good seat, I want to ask if anyone wants me to get anything in particular at AFA09. Anime-related merchandise, T-Shirts, autographs (there will be an autograph session with the artistes, namely Ichirou Mizuki, Shoko Nakagawa, May'n, Yoshiki Fukuyama, and perhaps, somehow, Hatsune Miku), photographs of specific things, anything that's reasonable. Ask away and I'll try my best to fulfill the request =D.

Oh, and any fans of K-On! might be interested to know that the Q&A submission site for the K-On! Live Experience is up at the official site. So submit any questions and I'll be sure to take note if it is answered =D

With the announcement that Hatsune Miku will perform live at the I Love Anisong concert, I've decided to attend both days of the event despite all the inconveniences.

Just spreading the news in case anyone wants to go =D

I have a personal plan of travel, lodging , etc that involves a friend in Singapore. However, he can't accommodate more than 2 extra people, and I'm already traveling with another friend. So if anyone wants to go, you'll have to plan on your own I guess =/.

I'll be sure to bring back lots of photos though =)

MessengerAmp vs Toaster

Winamp + Live Messenger

A couple of days back I posted this on my blog regarding plugins to show the Now Playing song for Live Messenger. Then JH suggested another one, MessengerAmp.
After trying both, I've come to a conclusion. MessengerAmp is less versatile than Toaster - cos Toaster can display most of the Unicode stuff on Messenger, whereas MessengerAmp can't. This decided my vote, since I listen to Korean/Jap/Chinese songs with those characters embedded in the song title or the artist name. And I hate to see "????" displayed as my PM. [perfectionist at work]

More tech stuff should come up on this blog soon, as soon as my exams are over and I can get down to learning HTML properly.

Feeling Nostalgic

Watching and reading Lucky Star has made me realized something.

I really miss my Form 3 days, the days of the 3B2 Four Big Sky Kings.

Good... no, GREAT times. Completely crazy, random, and best of all, I truly enjoyed myself back then, something I very rarely experience.

Just felt like saying that. My thanks to the other 3 members of the group (you know who you are)

*At this rate, I might as well re-start my blog (=ω=)*

Word of thanks

I'd like to thank everyone who remembered March 17th. I appreciate it =)

It's not much of a day this year though, I was screwing myself over trying to jack up my BitComet download rate the whole day, while studying for exams and eating Pocky sticks and Twisties =_=

But hey, could've been worse, at least I didn't spend the day in a hospital.

Cheers, and thanks again!

Just for laughs

To those oblivious, the above was supposed to be Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Will review once I finish the game, and am out of the shit hole i'm currently residing in.

Cheers to Alma.

Red Alert 3: Uprising - Starring Ric Flair

The expansion pack to Red Alert 3 is due in March. What can we expect?

1. New units for each faction (details later)
2. 4 New campaigns, one for each faction, and an extra Yuriko Omega campaign.
3. New Commander's challenge, similar to the one present in Generals: Zero Hour.
4. This is purely single-player, not sure on the details, but perhaps the new additions will not be active in multiplayer.
5. Ric Flair.

Trailer link HERE

As seen in the campaign, Ric Flair, WWE ex-wrestler, will star as a commander in the game, along with his trademark "Woooooo!!!"

New units known so far:

Allies
1. Harbinger Bomber - assault gunship (think an AC-130 Spectre or Spooky)
2. Cryo-Legionnaire - Basically Zone Troopers(from C&C3) with freeze guns. Basic attack has a spraying effect rather than single targeting.
3. Unknown multipurpose gunnery platform - appears to have a heavy siege gun that forces it to remain stationary. Otherwise it hovers and acts like a rapidfire anti-infantry platform

Soviets
1. Desolator Trooper - heavy infantry ala tesla trooper, seems designed to counter manspam
2. Grinder Tank - surprisingly fast and equipped with heavy front-grinder. Possible magnetic harpoon application but doubtful.
3. Heavy Sickle - unknown name, but equipped with additional armor and multishot rocket pods. Appears to be able to attack air.

Empire
1. Archer - seems to be early anti-air infantry as mentioned
2. Giga Fortress - Heavy naval/air fortress. Shaped like a Psionic Decimator with cannon turrets while in naval mode, turns into a giant floating demon head (yes you read that right) in air fortress mode. Appears to have a death-ray like attack.
3. Steel Ronin - appears to be approximate in size to a King Oni but focused on close combat rather than ranged combat. Has a long Naginata.

That's all I know so far :P

Final Plan Layout

before 11am: must reach and park your car at school
11am: Jie Han come fetch us
2pm: must reach Chia Yang's house
before 5pm: must reach Puan Tay's house


That's all. Any comment plz tell me, Yew Chi Ping asap. Your cooperation is appreciated.

new DotA item idea - the LifeScythe

*** The LifeScythe***



#1. History

The Necrolyte Rotund'jere had a necromancer wizard brother, Robust'jeh, who delved deeply into the secrets of life and death. On one of Robust'jeh's journeys through Azeroth, he discovered a scythe made of a living metal. Experiments on the scythe showed that it could slowly corrupt the soul of any living thing, reducing the scythed unit's lifespan. Robust'jeh christened his discovery the LifeScythe. Ironically, he was slewed with the LifeScythe in a scuffle in a tavern near the Pandaren homeland.

#2. Stats
Grants Soulbreak [attacked unit's max hp is reduced by 5% of its current max hp on every attack. effect wears off after 12 seconds]
+20 Agi
+5 Str
+5 Int

#3. Items required

Blade of Alacrity x 1 1000
Wraith Band x 1 460
LifeScythe recipe x 1 2000
------
Total cost: 3460
------

#4. Synergy

Useful for dps heroes. Enemies will be wondering, "Hey, where did my long hp go to?"
Especially good against tanks to cut their hp fast.
