I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

Updates stopped for this blog. Last post 20 August 2013.

Well, its the last week of the holidays already. The holidays always seem so short. Its not that I hate school, I hate waking up early. I hate the discipline. I hate the homework. I hate projects. Well I seem to be contradicting myself because that's all part of school.

I'll be going to ACJC for the first few weeks anyway.

I've just completed Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. Overall its a good game, but playing this game 7 years after it was released, the only great part of this game is the story. The gameplay is nothing special. Heck, the whole Command & Conquer series never changed its gameplay. So in one way, its special because only the Command & Conquer games play like that. In another way, its not special because there are a lot of Command & Conquer games out there and that makes the whole series rather repetitive.

I've also tried World of Warcraft by signing up for the 10 day trial. The thought of playing in the real server was great initially, but after a few hours of playing, the euphoria died. Let me sum up why I don't like World of Warcraft. Stupid quests, stupid quests, and last of all, stupid quests. Kill this. Do that. Bring this to someone. Bring it back after that someone has used it. Be a delivery man. Walk, walk, walk, walk everywhere. What's the fun in that? I know, there's raids, wars and lots of things that await once you reach the legendary level 70, but I don't think its worth it going through all that crap to reach level 70.

Since the only MMORPG that I've gone close to the max level and felt the power of being stronger than 90% of the people playing the game is Runescape (level 70), I've decided to make my life easier by playing a MMORPG where grinding is as easy as pressing 1 button. Granado Espada. Just press the spacebar, and volia! Your characters start fighting by themselves. Currently level 20, hope to participate in colony wars and raids soon. 80 more levels to go...

The areas in Granado Espada that are meant for low levels are amazingly empty. You see at most 2 or 3 other players every hour. Everyone else is practically at their max level already. I guess its pretty obvious now why Granado Espada went free to play. No ones going to pay for a Korean grindfest.
