Life:

It has been a really busy week, with 4 different tests. I actually didn't play at all on Monday and Wednesday. That's pretty rare for me. Anyway, the four tests were Physics, Social Studies, Chinese paper 1 and Chinese paper 2. I know I'll do well for Physics, it was pretty easy. I just got my Social Studies paper today, 16/26. Not too bad, not good either. I know I'm going to die for Chinese paper 1, I went off topic. As for Chinese paper 2, the same usual marks I should be able to get.

Cross country on Friday got cancelled due to the rain. It was a pretty relaxing day, with little things to do. I also got my class T-shirt on Friday, and I have to say it doesn't look too bad. Its quite nice actually. While 4D had this shirt with this ugly green colour.

Games:

I played a lot this week too, despite all the tests and work to do. On Thursday I played a 3v1 in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade against a "harder" difficulty opponent. It was a pretty crazy battle, with missiles flying everywhere and shockwaves from the Necron monolith sending puny Eldar units flying. Generally it was a good battle.

On Friday, I played 2 different matches with Samuel. First I had a 3v1 against the computer with the same settings as yesterday, but for some reason the battle was won in less than 10 minutes. Our computer ally rushed the enemy Necron really quickly, so that's why it was won so quickly. So, we decided to restart. A 2v1 this time. The results were horrible. The beginning of the game was fine, but after Samuel lost all his troops after attacking the enemy, he didn't build any units after that! He just went on looking at how cool those Chaos Predator tanks were, while I was furiously spamming immortals and heavy destroyers. The worst part is, guess what he said after we lost? He said: "You died?" OH MY GOSH! Samuel, as a veteran RTS gamer, actually doesn't know his ally died?

After that, Samuel and I had a 1v1 battle in Company of Heroes. It was a rather boring battle. Attack, defend, attack, defend. It was repetitive. I rushed his base with a crocodile sherman tank, and as a result he lost all his buildings, including his headquarters. However, I didn't win yet. I found out he hid some pioneers in some corner of the map. A few minutes later his first tiger tank appeared. I was happily spamming Sherman tanks. Somehow his tiger managed to reach my base. And the usual attack-defend stuff just happened. Then, at some point in time, he finally ran out of manpower to reinforce more tigers. That was the end of the battle. I won a 1v1 against Samuel, again. Want the replay? Here is is. "Click Me"(put it in C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\playback)

I just got the highly rated (9/10 reviews, game of the year) but oddly, unknown game, Homeworld 2. I will be doing a review on this odd mystery.
